ORGANIZING PROTECTIVE CLUBS IN THE FAR WEST
Chicago, June 90 Cspeciall-Edwin A. Hartshorn'
Of Troy, tho national organizer of the Homo Marhet
Circle arrived In Chicago yesterday from the Pachc
SLOPE Mr. Hartshorn was one OF the organizers Oh
the Thousand Defenders and In January started OUT
TO I'll I'D the membership OF that anh-Cobden CluD'
Hc organized a camp in Chicago, out OF which the
Home Market Club Of Illinois grew He says that on
tho Pacific slope he secured the pames OF over one
hundred prominent individuals and firms as men,
bcrs of tho Thousand Defenders, OF whom over sixty
are in San Francisco, and in addition local tsrif
leagues have been formed by him In San Francisco
and Portland. He came in contact during his stay
with large number OF business men, and the scnn-
ment among them Is almost universal against the
Presidents message and the Mills bill, tho Call
fornans believing that tho Mills bill will XIII every
manufacturing industry on tho Pacific Coast. The
only thing that will not be hurt is the raising OF
wheat. San Francisco would feel free trade worse
than any city on the Pacific slope. as It is now q
large manuac turing and industrial centre, and last
year had manufactures amounting to 800 600
Mr.. Hartshorn says that IT, the current Of thought,
as 1t is now SET continues, there will be few per
sons on the Pacific slope who will vote for Cleveland
and his free-trade ideas. The roll Of membership OF
the Defenders Is now nearly full and Mr.. Hartshorn
proposes to organize Home Market Circles, which

THE SOAP TARIFF.

We are glad to know that all the big
soap men are not going to the eternal
bow-wows on account of the Mills bill
even if we should get u washing al
a Chinese laundry. 1t was noted that
Chas. S. Higgins, a Democrat, and a big
soap man of Brooklyn, had Topped to
Harrison on account of the Mills bill
But the other soap men are not alarmed
The New York Times says the SOAP
manufacturers of New York laugh al
Higging's theory.
Messrs. Colgate & Go. are among the
largest soap manufacturers. Members
of the firm said; "Mr. Higgins prognos.
tication is certainly a dismal one; but,
nevertheless, it is absurd. The Mills
bill will certainly not cause us to shut
down. The reduction of the tariff on
laundry soap is not likely to do us any
injury or affect our business in any
way" t.t r f
The agent of Shultz & Co., soap man.
ufacturers, with large factories at
GAINESVILLE, o., said: "Our firm is strong
ly in favor of protection, but we are not
afraid of the Mills bill, nor have we
any faith in Mr., Higgins prophecy,
We do not apprehend that the reduc-
ton of the tariff Of laundry soap will
hurt any OF, u.s."
After reading the above we feel that
we shall still use home made soap, with.
out any fear that the home soap fat
mar will either bust, evaporate, or dis
solve in foreign soap grease. Wonder
if this man Higgins is any relation ia
the Canuck Higgins who predicted that
great arctic wave and storm that was
to shipwreck everybody? The Canuck
Higgins got up a big scare, you know,
but he turned out a s~econd-class fraud

PERSONAL


We rejoice that we do not have to
publish a newspaper in Sandusky. We
know of no spot in the great Buckeye
State where personal journalism is so
constant as there, and it has been so
for the past fifteen years. The last
number of the Journal, at hand, con-
tains a reference to the Register as fol-
lows:
"The editorial writer for the black
mailer's register of Sandusky has fal.
len into a state of jabbering idiocy re-
garding the Journal. He is 80 gan
grened in mind over the superior
circulation, influence and prospects of
this paper to his own that his language
about it indicates nothing short of pos
tive insanity
The above is only the mild part of an
editorial, that, like the stories in the
New York Ledger, er VS. more intense
as it goes on, We sincerely re-
ioice that we live in Canton, where
rival newspapers shower each Other
with diluted doses of praise, and where
hoggishness lin! boiler plate, for in.

ton are unknown quantities to the com
posite editorial mind.

We of this western hemisphere view
this theory with feelings of mingled
pity and contempt. And yet some of
our statesmen seem to have notions
strongly tinctured with the ideas of
Pagan China.
So noted a statesmen as Senator Geo.
F. Edmunds, in the Forum for July, in
an article on the political outlook, says
that under free trade the people of this
country would consume vastly more Of
foreign goods and consequently less
goods of home production. Now, with
all due respect to Senator Edmunds, it
must be said that the ideaof hampering
foreign commerce for fear our people
will consume foreign goods to the exclu-

less ridiculous than the Chinese idea
Of leaving their valuable coal mines un-
touched for ages, for fear that the
Devil might turn over i'll the ground
and create an earthquake. How can
q people consume foreign goods unless
they pay for them; ard how can they
pay for them unless they produce the
equivalent. Must not a country's eX-
ports equal their imports; or very near
ly. Webster says commerce is the ex-
chance Of commodities on a large scale
Isit expected that foreigners will dump
their goods upon us without cUmpen-
sation. If so, we can all wear good
clothes without work. But the foreign
er will doubtless demand our products
in exchange for his products. When a
nation wants nothing outside of It's
own boundaries, and produces nothing
any other nation wants, that nation is
dead to commerce and civilization.
Africa is that kind of a country; and
Africa ought to suit Senator Edmupds.

"A ONCE FAMOUS WOMAN.

A dispatch from Lancaster, Penn'a,
announces that Harriet Lane Johnson,
the niece Of eXtPFesident James Blu
channan, is now there, visiting the
scenes Of her early life. Mrs. Johnson
will be remembered as the Harriet
Lane, who was mistress of the White
House when James Buchanan was
President. She was the most accom-
plished and Queenly woman that ever
presided over that historic old mansion,
not excepting Mrs. Madison or Mrs.
Cleveland. Last winter she appeared
in Washington society, white-haired
and ffty-five, but still a very beautiful
woman, after an absence of over twenty
eight years. |It is said that Lord Lyons,
the British Minister of 1855, at Wash
ington, fell desperately in love with
Harriet Lane, and proposed to marry
her, but she rejected his suit, and after
wards married a plain Mr.. Johnson of
Baltimore, who died about five years
ago. Lord Lyons, who died quite re-
Gently, never married, but remained
faithful to the end of life in his love of
Harriet Lane. Such is life sometimes,
but not often.

The Horseshoers' Union, No. Is, came
to Canton yesterday, Sunday on the
| Valley road and took in the sights,
scenes, music and liquid refreshments
of Meyers Lake. Theround trip tickets,
including car for Lake and return, were
only rs cents, and of course there was a
crowd. 1t is to be expected that the
Horseshoers' Union is well up in mus
cular development, and such is the case.
The picnic spread all over the Lake and
on both sides of it, and they tripped the
big fantastic toe, none too gently, at
both ends of the Lake, to very rapid
music. There was a goodly supply of
the gentler sex in the party.
Some of the young men OF the party
became too much saturated with liquid
refreshments to navigate, and had be
braced I'D in order to reach the boat. The
waltzipg to the music of the fiddle, harp
and base viol, was limp in spots, but
averaged fairly we'll. The tete-a-tetes,
however, on the %veraGdas, were a little
too spooney for our ideas of a Puritan
style of Sunday counting.

ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT LETTER.

We have all read the letter of Senator
Ingalls,. We now have to light a letter
written by United States Senator
Plumb, also of Kansas, that is mighty
interesting reading. This letter was
written to a personal and political
friend of his, living in Kansas, just pre-
vious to the Chicago convention. Sen
ator Plumb is a very ~level-headed man,
of fine judgement, and his letter is such
an accurate view of the politician situa-
ton that we print an extract, as fol-
lows:
"Drop Blaine and elect a delegate to
Chicago uninstructed. Prepare to select
the strongest available candidate.
Cleveland has gained strength since the
day of his inauguration. His tariff
message has given him increased
strength in the Southwest and North
west. While it may lose him a few
votes in the Eastern States, he will
more than make it up in the West, and
especially in the Northwest. The pros
pect of the Republican candidate for
President is gloomy indeed. About our
only hope is in Cleveland making a
mistake before the election, which is
not at all probable"

A very important decision has been
recently made by the Pennsylvania
Company, operating the 1T. Wayne
road, and n which will have a great
bearing on the trade Of Canton's most
important establishments. Its ultimate
result will be such as cannot be esti-.
mated.
This decision by the Pennsylvania
Company is that hereafter any watch
owned by an engineer, brakeman, con-
dnctor or any employe of the road who
las cause to use it in his official bust
ness, and which has been found defec-
tive, must give way and a Deuber
watch take its place, Trainmaster
Routson made this suggestion to- the
company some weeks ago and advised
the company to have in use on the
road the standard watch. This sug-
gestion was fully considered and the
above decision made by the company.
This appears on its face as being q
very unimportant matter, but its result
cannot be estimated. Those who con
slider themselves well informed on this
matter state that it means that ulti-
mately the Ft. Wayne road will have
no watch in use except one of Dueber
make. The watches cannot but give
excellent satisfaction, and this being
the case the probabilities are that
Deuber watches will be used exclusive
ly on all of the Pennsylvania company's
roads. When it is remembered that
this road employees thousands of men
in various capacities where watches
are used, the citizens of Canton can
partly realize what a great thing this is
for Canton and for the Deuber Watch
company. What a sad blow this will
be to the jobbers association of the
country, which has been fighting Deu-
Der for months, can only be told by
them,

The saloon row between John Dun

in passing his hand back and forth

became so aggravating that Dunbar
snapped at a finger and caught it in his

IT is estimated that 1000 men exist

own ndoenjoy more wealth than the
whole 100000 farmers and farm labor

MAssILLoN, July "a.
A large crowd gathered yesterday at
the corner of Oak and East street.
They came to witness the %uncovering
of the cornerstone of the old building
which had been torn down to make
room for the new school house about
to be built. This structure had been
built just fifty years, and was used for
a long time as a church in which the
congregations of what are now St.
Paul's Lutheran and st. Johns Evan
gelical churches worshiped. The old
congregation divided upon the doc
trine of transubstantiation and built
the two churches above men
periods as a schOOlhous9 until its decay
and the demand for increased school
facilities made it necessary to build a.
new school house in its, place. The
covering was removed from the corner
stone yesterday, and the little tin box
in it handed to the Rev. o. w. Shelter.
Those who expected to have their curl
osity gratiiied by seeing mementoes of
fifty years ago, were disappointed, for
the papers in it were crumbled to a
black nndistinguishable This
was probably due to the entrance Of air
into the receptacle. No coins were
found.

circular cOntriyance around which wire
ropes pass and elevate the rod Mr.
Panyard claims for it a lighter and lon

which, being filled, elects the water the
same as from the water works. ttel q
A%4peculiar death was that, which last.

THE UTTER FAILURE OF THE
WOOL TARIFF.

The wooden manufacturers OF the
United States consume about 10000
600 lbs. of wool annually. They would
consume a much larger amount if they
were allowed to import wool without
duty. Yet it is well known that less
than one-half the amount- actually
consumed is grown in fE country.
Now if we have not been able to pro-
duce one-half of the wool at home by
our own manufacturers, after the trial
of wei half a century with a high pro-
tective tariff, how can we expect to do
so in the future, when the wool growing
industry is on the decline. Take Ohio
as an illustration. Under the fostering
care of a protective tariff on wool the
number of sheep in Ohio has decreased
from 100000 to 100000, and the price
of wool from so cents to 20. With these
statistics in sight, how much more tariff
and how many more years would 1t
take to wipe out the whole wool grow
ing business. 1t may not be out of
place to remark now, that in 1859, with
practically no protection on wool, it
sold in Canton and MassillOn at 60 cents
a pound, and now it is selling for less
than half that amount.
If these statistics are worth anything,
they prove that a tariff on wool tends
to depress prices, and we have several
times of late given our readers the rea-
