Edward Atkinson Oh the Food Question.

Edward Atkinson has an article i'm
the December Century on The Food
Question in America and Europe" in
which he gives some remarkable facts
and figures. We quote as follows:
The food quest on in Europe may be
one of possible revolution and repud:-
ton of national debts. and of the dis
ruption of nations as they now exist; to
this branch of the victualing depart
ment attention may well be called. be-
cause its conditions are so greatly in
contrast to those of the United States;
but this phase of the question will be
treated separately in subsequent
article. May we not find in these
costly armies, excessive debts, and eX-
cessive taxes not only the cause of pau
per wages. but also the cause of the in
efiectual and costly quality of so-cailed
.pauper labor? May there not also be
found i'm these figures the incentives to so
cialism, to communism, and to anarchy?
What hope for men and women. the
whole of whose product would barely
suffice for substance. when ten, twenty
and perhaps even thirty per cent, is
diverted from their own Use. and even
food is denied them sufficient to main
tain health and strength. in order that
these great armies NAV be sustained?
The victualing department is there
fore presented in these thre, phases:
First. In our own country the only
question is how to save the waste OF
our abundance. and how to teach not
only the working people, but even the
prosperous, the right methods of OBJ
tanning a good and wholesome subsis-
tence at less cost in money than they
now spend for poor and dyspcp'ic
one.
Second. In Great Britain and Ire
land the victualing department under
lies a system of land tenure which is
now on its trial. anil which has led TO
such artificial conditions that great
acres of good land have been thrown
entirely out of cultivation, while half
of the people are being fed from fields
from FIVE thousand to fifteen thousand
miles distant
Third. Upon the continent of Eu-
rope the victualiDg department stands
face to face with forced method OF
distributing and wasting food-product
which, as whole. is insufficient to
maintain the whole population in vigor
and health even if it were evenly dis
| tributed, as TODD must be equally dis
tributed by weight if not by quality III
order that men and women may be
equally well nourisbed.
When a famisbed democracy oe.
GENES conscious of its power. what VIII
become of the privileges which are noe
founded on rights. and OF national debts
which have been incurred by dynasities
without the consent of the people who
ARE now oppressed by them9 How will
standing armies be disbanded, which
now seem to be incapable al being sns-
tanned as they are impossible OF be-
| ing disarmed?
| ..Such are some of the appalling
quest ons to which we are led when We
attempt to snalyze the way in which
men, women and children now obtain
the modicum of meat and bread which
they must have every day' In order %
exist, and that haily ration of dairy
products. OF fruit. Of sugar. aud OF

What Makes Them winces

The CONSERVATION which the free whis-
ky plank in the Chicago platform early
gave rise to in the Republican ranks is
spreading, and the leaders arc looking
eagerly in every direction for some power
TO counteract the effect of that fatal dec.
laration. The New York Tribune es.
sayed to tighten the load by printing In
terviews with two of the members of the
subcommittee which fathered the plat
form. Senators Hiscock and Farwen. The
formers attempt to explain is awkward
and incomplete, and if it were not ludi-
crous would really be pitiable.
By the way, it Is noticeable that nobody
Is being called on to explain, to extenuate,
to defend the st. Louis platform. It
stands clear, concise, unassailable. It de-
mands for the people and promises them
cheaper clothes to wear, cheaper homes to
live in, cheaper beds to sleep in, cheaper
tools to work with, and insists that the
taxes necessary to maintain the govern
ment shall be collected from the luxuries,
not the necessities of life, It invites the
fullest and freest discussion of the sub
ject, perfectly confident that with accurate
and comprehensive knowledge the Ameri-
can people will decide against the masters
who would reduce them to d slavery
scarcely less degrading and absolute than
that Of race servitude abolished by the
war.-Louisville Courier-Journal

Pot Calling Kettle Black.

There is no doubt that southern dele
gates to the national Republican conven-
ton sold their votes to the highest bid
der. This fact being admitted the ques-
ton remains who made the cash transac-
tions? Nearly all the votes from the
south were divided between Sherman and
Alger. A large number of these dele
gates were originally for Sherman, not
from love, respect or reverence they have
for him, but purely from a commercial
standpoint. Sherman's agents went
through the south previous to the con
veation when arrangements were made
whereby for a consideration a GER
tain specified number of votes should be
delivered to Sherman. The money was
paid uA'er, the votes were delivered on
the first and second ballots, when they
broke away and went to Algerr Gen. Al
ger, cx-Governor Ager of Michigan, a
lumber baron whose bsrl was filed by a
%prohibitory tariff. Ayers acquisition of
strength is directly traceable, as Senator
John Sherman says, to a purely financial
and commercial transaction, After buying
these highly moral Republican voters by
a highly moral Republican statesman It
was presumed they would consider that
some kind OF honor should exist between
corruptionists, but the second temptation
of the flesh pots was something more
than their greedy natures could resist.
For Sherman to call Alger o corruptionist
and for Alger to return the compliment
in kind, 1t looks very much like a case of
the pot calling the kettle black.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. rau

A BAD WRECK
Seventeen Years Ago At the Same Spot at
Which Occurred Fridays Wreck.

Seventeen Years Ago At the Same Spot at
Which Occurred Fridays Wreck.
Charles Weber, the opera house drug
gist, tells an interesting story of a
wreck on the Fl. Wayne at the curve
at the Aultman works just seventeen
years ago, the accident being recalled
by the wreck of the limited at that
place Friday morning. Charlie is I'M
married, a fine business man, and is
said to have entered the manageable
arena at the first of the year. 0wingto
this latter fact his age at that time will
not be given but it can be stated that he
was a youth in his teens and from all
reports was a hummer" He was sent
on an errand, and as usual with boys,
he did just the opposite of carrying out
his instructions, and in the course
of the afternoon he found himself
seated on the cab of an engine at the
station, the engine being sidetracked
and waiting for a vestlbule
train bound for New York from San
Francisco. Pretty soon the whistle OF
the approaching train was heard and
all eyes were turned toward the curve.
When the curve was reached those
about the station were startled by see
ing the engine jump the track and go
careening along on the ties, dragging
the well filled passenger coaches with it.
The engine finally turned over and was
almost totally ruined, as were some of
the coaches. Charlie cannot remember
distinctly how much damage was done.
He a remember that the coaches were
badly wrecked, but believes that there
was no one fatally injured.

tom houses. A silk gown that costs
$50 here can be bought in England for

velvet that would cost here 800 or
more would only be half price there, a

and so on all down the whole list OF
woman's apparel, on which the duties
range from 80 to 80 per cent. AS per
sonal effects when in use are free, 1t
follows that a woman can go to Europe
with hardly a gown to her back and
come home with a respectable outfit OF
only the necessary clothing suited to
her position in life. If the whole 200
persons who have gone over in a body
from Talmage tabernacle at a cost OF
$3.50 a piece come home each with a
modest customs clearing outfit, they
will have had a cheap trip, and all the
sightseeing and fun beside. What is
needed now is a high tariff on a trip to
Europe, so as to keep the people at
home and compel them to do their shop
ping in this country.

DIR. MULLER

BE Travels 1000 Miles and Lectures
Eight Times in Six Days--The Wonder
full West--Some Observations on Boiler
Plate.
Rev. DR.. Muller returned to Canton
last evening from a pleasant trip to the
great bounding west. He was as far
west as Bluff Park, Kansas, and lee,
tured eight times in six days, and
travelled over two thousand miles, The
Doctor is delighted with Kansas, its
people, its busting cities, and its
Astounding prosperity. On Thursday
next he will preach at Lake Side, in
Lake Erie, with the famous Sam Jones.
In a conversation on the current
topics of the day the subject of boiler
plate matter came up. The learned
Doctor was curious to know how this
matter was made up, as distinguished
from matter set up from types in the
office. Our accomplished foreman Of
the news room indicted him into the
secrets of the mystery. 1t was a new
revelation of the inventive genius
and wonderful resources of the Yankee
nation. The Doctor had supposed that
til matter Ill Canton daily newspa.
pers was hoGe made, but when told
hat solid chunks of lead were brought
mere by freight and express, all made up
rs reading matter and sold at a nomin-
Il price per pound, the Doctor in sur
prise remarked: "Why, anybody can
edit a newspaper with that kind Of ma
terial?" A NEws-D DEMOCRAT reporter
showed the learned Doctor a Canton
daily oflast evening, large quarto sheet,
that contains twenty-three columns OF
"boiler plate matter, and only seven
and Il half columns of home set reading
matter. When shown that the most
brilliant sallies of wit, the most tower
ing flights of e~loquence, and the most
profound dissertations on science, poll
tics and law, were cast in boiler plate,
and lifted into the glowing pages by
the apparently able bodied editor, the
learned Doctor was dumbfounded al
the modern improved modes IN the great
art preservatlve of all arts.
