We publish 10 another column what
Judge Meyer says is his "iaAt card" The
card is full OF 'venOmOus attacks" on
A. McGregOr and we give Ju GO Mayer
the benefit q? Of the publication, iu or
der that the Democracy may more clear
ly see that in eevating Judge Meyer to
the Common Pleas Judgeshtp, and twice
to the Probate JudgerhIp, thty have
only been nursing viper.
Judge Meyer makes uugpn lrmanly
reference to "pecun '8ry nr'tp"' ibil-
ity," So, of he -ditor of he DEMOCRAT.
The editor Of the DEMOCRAT La- uOt
held ten years of a TemuLeranve Office,
but during that time has been lHl,ling
for the principles of the D mOcratio
party, and helping Judge Meyer to fat
offices.
We might also say to Judge Meyer
that A. McGregOr, as editor of tn" DEM
OCRAT, had hard Through" of /, dur
lug twenty-six years past. Ore Uf the
misfOrtunes that first befell Mr..
McGregOr In thai time he de-

own SOD, Gen. Ed. 5. Meyer, Uf Cleveland,
who, like thief and burglar, with
others, in the dead hour Of night, bur-
glariOusly entered the DEMOCRAT Uttice,
and burned and destroyer II. This,
| Judge, was ppcu0iaTy loss.
Yet Judge Meyer, in spite # all this,
tn old reliable STARK COUNTY DEMO.
Graf has pTOspr red, and viii Oa found

Judge Meyer still says "it is false that
(he) surrendered 1t (the Probate tfi,e)
| for Is consideration" Let US see. Wnen
Judge Meyer wanted to resign In favor
OF A. l.. Jones, a year ago, the con- idera-
! tion was the purchase 2f his property.
Was 1T not Judge? Would Mr., FaWcett
have purchased your properly If
he had net been appointed Pro-
bate Judge? We apprehend not.
1t Is a fact, and Judge Meyer
cannot deny it that he made sim
liar propositions to her Republicans.
1t IL also fact that Judge Meyer, one
year ago, offered to resign, In favor Of
another Democrat, if that Democrat
would purchase his property aud enter
| into an agreement to give him One.half
! of the fees of the office. No cOusideTa-
tiou Jddge9 Then what would you call
it?
The DEMOCRAT has never questioned
Judge Meyers ability in the tu fllment
of the duties of The offices to which he
has been eleVste1 by the Democratic
party and which he has 80 bssely be-
trsyed In handing over the Probate Ufice
to a Republican.
As to Judge Meyers success or fall
ings as a soldier in the field fighting for
the Union" we'll not question tn just
now, but when the Judge prsteS 20 much
about "loyalty" and Vaun's himself,
what does he have to say about the fact
Of his wanting to borrow fifty dollars In
1861 of a Democratic friend In this city
In order to send his boys down to South
Carolina to join the army of JEFF Davisp
There is no slander, Juhge, In telling
fact; and the fact that you have betrayed
the party that elected you is beyond
, question. SO with these remarks we
will say:
Farewell; thou canss not teach us to forget"

r seems Congressman Mckinley does

IT seems Congressman Mckinley does
not approve of the Presidents message
MIR. Mckinley ought to feel grateful al
least, that In the Departments at Wash
ingtOn yet are MANY Of his Republican
friends from this district, whom he,
Mckinley, had appointed under Repub-
lican administrations.
It would seem that President Cleve-
land believes in just and economical
government, and hence fsV0rs equal
taxation, and hence Mr.. Mckinley does
not endorse the President nor his mes
sage. Mr. Mckinley believes In pro
lection for the sake Of protection; that
is, he wants the people taxed to put
money In the pockets of favored indi-
viduals. The Democratic idea Is that
our government hng no right to tax the
people and take their money, except for
revenue to carry on the government
and pay Its debts.
The Constitution says: Congress
shall have power to lay and collect
taxes, to pay the debts and provide for
the general welfare" John Sherman
wants to take the tax off sugar, s0that
sugar may come In free, and also faVOrs
the government paying those who raise
sugar In Louisiana and the South, two
cents per pound by way Of bounty and
encouragement. This, of course, would
be direct protection or bounty. 1t is
really more honest than the usual mode
of indirect bounty called protection
But the whole thing Is robbery.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-12-16

THE Presidents message is care
fully prepared document and reads
we'll. 1t is clean cut and sensible. He
wants taxes cut down and labor less
buTdened, less surplu8 in the treasury.
Correct undoubtedly.
1t seems that undeT this Democratic
administration more pensions have been
adjudicated and paid than under any
like period. Let our Republican friends
note this, and eX-soldleIs should not
forget.
The attention of Congress Is called to
our coast defences. In case of foreign
war we might be rather defenceIess; /;
but after all, tOrpedOes can quickly be
made and placed; and those sort Of dy.
Mantle bombs are cheap and fearful In
execution, sometimes. OF course our
coast defenses are worthy Of attention.
The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury which is made to the House Is
an important document, and gives
his views on the financial situa-
ton with suggestions. The report is
a remarkably able state paper. 1t is
| aggressive in the extreme; demonstrates
that there is no present hope of per
suading Great Britain and Germany to
adopt the bimetallic standard, calls for
the repeal of the compulsory coinage
clause of the silver law. 1t wants the
Government to get out of the banking
business and to substitute silver and
| gold certificates for the legal tenders,
1T dWells at great length upon the "ex.
| tOrtiOn" Of a continued war taxation
which breeds our vast surplus revenue
and calls vigorously for q reduction
thereof. 1t wants the free list greatly
increased, and especially demands that
wool shall be made wholly free. that
the tax may be taken off Of the clOthes
of sixty millions of people. 1t believes
that labor especially suffers from war
tariff, and presents the arguments with
force and oleaTness.
From the report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, the total revenues of the
Government for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1886, were 1886. 439, 727. The
ordinary expenditures for the same per
iod were $287 034 181, leaving a balance
of 9,405 545. OF these expenditures
nearly $63.5O0.0O0 went for pensions
and nearly $lOO,OO0,000 for interest on
the public debt ard Sinking Fund. The
revenues were $l2, ,749 029 larger than
the previous year, and the expenditures
were $17,74S,796 smaller than in the
previous year.

they may not attend during the session
at all. After giving his interview with
Senator Van Clsaf at CircleVille, Mr.
Taylor said in Sundays EuQuirer:
The whole of the Senator c1nVeTsa-
tiOn impressed me with the improbable
ity of the Democratic Senators going TO
Columbus this winter. He pointed out
in the published journal Of the Senate 3
number of changes, interpretations and
amendments, which are nothing short
of forgery, and said:
"YOu were present and know what the
proceedings were. IL the public records
are to be thus dOctOTed and falsihed to
cover up revolutionary crimes, what Is
the Use of honest men gcing there to be
tTampled upon and lied abOut in the
public aTchiVes?"
If the Democratic Senator'S refuse 10
attend, and If the session continues b.,
yOnd the 4th of March, and Pugsley and
Grouse resign, Senator A. D. Fsssett, of
Mahoning, will then lave reached the
goal of his ambition.
The two Republican vacancies will
leave but nineteen Senators, bare
Quorr m, and Fassett will be boss Of the
situation, the position he schemed for
last winter.
1t Is well known, to a good many peo-
| pie, at leust, that F8ssett offered to vote
for the retention of two Democratic
| Senators from Hamilton county If the
Democrats would stand by him on all
matters of legislation and the conirma,
tiOn of the Governors appointments
This would have made him virtual die
tatOr Of the Senate, the Governors Office
and the legislature
The Democrats Indignantly spurned
the offer, although 1t would have ena.
hled them to hsmstring the Republican
A ADMINISTRATION and bring 1t into disre
cute with the people. The Republicans
under the same circumstances, would
not have been 80 Virtuous. They would
have jumped at the opportunity.
Speaking of the proposed cOnsoida.
tiOn of the fall and spring elections
| Senator Van Cleaf said:
II am opposed to 1t, and the people
generally will be when they reflect Oh
the subject. 1t would greatly impair
fficiency and honesty of local munif ip6E
government, and make them a paI of
the party machines. The little offices
in State election would be cOTTupting
element, and small-fIy sdVenturers and
pot house politicians would iorce
themselves on the list for the smaller
Offices to secure the opportunity to trade
on the larger ones. The result would be
very cOrrupting. As a rule, the little
offices would be the stock in trade when
dealing with the politicians for the
larger offices, while occasionally a big
one would be traded for little one, and
public interests jeOpardized. Let The
municipal election alone, OF change II
to May, SO the weather will be more
favorable than the first Of April"
1t is pretty clear, however, that the
Republican leaders intend to make the
abolition Of the spring election party
issue this winter. TAYLOR.

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The annual report fresh from the
Bureau of Statistics affords an interest
IL & analysis of the reports of the trade
of our own and other countries during
the last fiscal year, with instructive
G, mpaIisOns and comments.
The reports says that The foreign COM
merce of the United States for the fiscal
year 1885 SO, when compared with that
of the year 1884 So, disclOses few
marked changes. There was decline
of $62000000 In the value of the ex
ports of merchandise, and an increase
of $58 100000 in the value of imports
rhe export of merchandise exceeded
the imports, nevertheless and the de-
line of foreign trade, which had been
S13S,000,0O0 In 1884, and $88,000,000 In
1855, was less than $5, 100000 in 1886.
The decline beginning in 1928 was
he result of business depression
throughout the commercial world, and
In no respect peculiar to the United
States.
The slight decline last year Is regard.
ed as an Indication that the trade de,
preston has reached Its lowest point
and that we are Oh the eve of q period
national prosperity. This is further
indicated by the trade returns of the
first three months of the fiscal year
which exhibit gratifying increase Of
near forty millions Of dollars In exports
and imports over the corresponding
period of last year. An analysis of The
returns for last year emphasize the fact
that the decrease in value of our foreign
commerce was caused more by falling
prices than by decline in the volume OF
business.
A comparison of the value of foreign
commerce Of the leading commercial
nations Of the world, show that Great
Britain stands first, Germany second,
France third and the Ulited States
fourth, and that the value of the com
merCe of the United States increased
luce 1860 to a much larger extent than
that OF either Great Britain or France
OF the decline Of foreign commerce IN
der the American flag the report says:
1t is hUmiliating to our ma, iOnal pride
that only Is per cent. of foreign trade
measured by its value, is carried in home
vessels; while 70 per cent. Is carried in
foreign vessels, and that In this age OF
rapid traDsp rtaiion by steam only G
per cent. of our foreign trade Is con-
Quoted in steamers bearing our national
flag, while 65 per cent of that trade,
with all Its profits and the employment
of capital and labor, Is conducted In
ellen vessels. The constant and rapid
decline to the proportion Of the value of
commodities carried in our own vessels
from Is per cent. in 1866 to 10 per cent,
in 1886 Is startling fact which should
arouse US to the impending danger of
the utter sDnihilation of our foreign
carrying trade.

"HIeH wages in labor and cheaper

"HIGH wages in labor and cheaper
products are correlative terms," says
Secretary Manning in his report. he
claims that our high wages insure low
labor cost In product; that "pauper
wages" In other lands make higher
labor cost In products. He speaks Of
"Our suicidal taxes on raw materials"
The total value OF our domestic ex-
ports for the last fiscal year was almost
exactly $666,0O0O00, Of which SO per
cent. were the products Of our fields,
forests, fisheries and mines, and 10 per
cent. only were the sum total Of manu-.
featured products in which American
labor was inwr0ught.

The Hungarian Rioters.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Penna., January
2l-Anotber conflict between officers
and Hungarians occurred about mid
night. IN which one of the latter was
fatally injured. A detachment of police
and a number of deputy sheriffs were
patrolling the Hungarian settlement,
near the scene of the Morewood troubles
of Yesterday. They attempted to arrest
several drunken Hungarians, who were
making a terrific racket, when about $50
of the latters' fellow countrymen came
to their assistance. At least fifty shots
were exchanged. Joseph Janeowski
was shot through the body, and the
rioters then dispersed. Later Detective
Brophy arrected one Brady, a ring
leader, who was fiourishing an axe, and
an ag:tator, who was concealed under
the house. The Hungarians captured
are now in Westmoreland County Jail.
