Especial Correspondence
New BERLIN, Sept, 8.
A Harrison and Morton club was or
ganlzed here Friday night. Several
speakers were out from Canton. The
arst was u Mr.. G. G. Bow, who In his
remarks flung TO the breeze the old un'
washed bloody shirt, as the reason why
every (Y) loyal man, should vote for
Mr., Harrison and against President
Cleveland Mr. Aungst spoke on the
tariff. He said that the tariffs "purely
q question Of wages" and thought that
the Mills bill and the Democratic party
would destroy our industries, and bring
down American labor TO q level with
European labor. Judge Fawcett fol-
lowed In pretty much the same strain
as Aungst The next orator was Henry
Harter, who did not appear TO be 80
badly mashed on the beauties Of high
taxes.

critics liable 10 be effected and find
everything intact. The farmers In this
part of the world are reading II good
deal now, and thinking q good deal
more, and any young law student,
armed with few oratorica phrases
and glittering generalities, who comes
out here 10 preach the gospel OF Protec'
ton, wants 10 have more facts and less

youngsters who invaded New Berlin on
Friday night Speaking after the man
ner Of the sacred scripture, we would
advise these young men 10 tarry awhile
In Jericho until their boards grow.
The statement that the Mills bill Is a
free trade measure we know TO be
false. We have u copy Of the bill, and
know II only makes a cut Of b toO per
cent. In the present war tariff,
Perhaps II may do to speak OF Presl'
dent Cleveland as "a coward" IN a Re-
publican meeting, but II only betrays
the bitter, blind party prejudice on the
part OF the individual making the as
sertion, The official acts Of the Presl-
dent, and the fishery message, show him
TO be q man OF strong courage and fear
less In the discharge OF his duty, The
fact Of his having n spinal column so
well developed is the source Of great
annoyance and anxiety TO the Republi'
can orators. II Is 10 be hoped that the
Club will commence the study Of the
economic questions before us In this
campaign, 80 as TO vote intelligently,
and for their interest Then the result
will be Il largely increased majority for
Cleveland and the Old Roman, In Plain
township.
Mr.. Aungst was fearful II we got The
Mills bill that all our industries would
be disturbed, and that the price OF
wages would be cut down TO the wages
OF free trade England. Mr., Aungsl
said tariff was question OF wages
This Is q mistake. II Is q question .0i
