The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1890-10-30

900 people engaged In the manufacture OF
tin In the whole world, how eau 10000
people be employed to supply the United
States.
In the BIftIoth congress when the tariff
was agiiated, a circular was Issued by the
| Cincinnati sheet Iron association, when
the Mills bill placed Tin on the free lIal
whore II should be, agreeing 10 com.
promise OF u oenta, or "a centa less than
the present tariff, The Republicans fig.
ure that this tarlif only incroaaeA the cost
| 20 the laborlng man two or three centa
This Ia not much 10 Carnegie, but two or
three cents every day lga severe tax on
the bone and alnew Of the land.
II IN like the reply OF Jay Gould, who
said tho bill will not have much effect on
the people. II would mako clothes doarer
but the man who wore two suit could get
along with one. According 20 this The
man who likea q can OF tomatoes can get
along without them, and tho man who
wants n Tin roof on his house, can 20
down In the cellar 10 get out OF the rain.
Az | came through Ohio to-day, aud saw
the sheep In pastures thought thoy
cheored me on my way. | had long un-
| deratood the emblem OF mischief was u
goat, but have discovered tlat sheep are
the root Of all evil, since have boon dis
cuaelng the tariff,
We cannot live without wool. II IN nb.
aoutoty essential 20 human life. In my
opinion the sheep will boar mo out In
this, N their owners viii not. 10 Ia cruel
injustice TO put any tariff on wool. This
bill not only puts on tariff, but rnlaea II
on wool. They say this ~ done for the
protection Of American laborora. II is
not only an injustice 10 every person who
uaoa blankets and clothing which contain
wool, but II IN against the good morals,
especially OF tho manufacturers OF WOOL
ems.
II will force the woolon man 10 be dis
honest, and put old rags and ahoddy In
his cloth instead OF wool. Many OF our
importntions arc tho rags OF the beggara
and soldiers Of Europe. Rags are on
the free llat bOO0OOOOO pounds
OF shoddy are made In the United States
every year. II the Republicans love the
worllina.mnn 30 much, why do they not
put wool In his clothes, instead OF the raga
OF Europe, and shoddyY
They argue that the tariff on wool IL n
protection 10 American labor. Tho man
with u small flock OF sheep docs not om'
ploy IN extra man TO look after them.
The rich flock masters OF the west, where
a Mexican, q bronco and yellow dog can
take caro- Of largo flock, are tho ones
protected. Sixty-flvo million people aro
taxed for the benefit OF the Mexican, the
bronco and tho yellow dog. No they are
taxed for the benefit OF the millionaire
sheep owner who Craze on the public
land,
nre not a luxury IN this country, but
protection from the cold. We do not
raise n pound OF carpet wool III this coun-
try, Yet the bill has the audacity 10 raise
the tax on carpet wool, Tho ADVERTISE
monts OF the largo merchants, say car
pets have gone up In price. Tho Repub-
ilcans raised the tax on tho housewives
carpet. Last year we imported OO,0OO,OOO
pounds,
The advertisement In the newspapers
of New York, Boston and all the large
cities announce the increase In prices,
None OF the busy mill owners have raised
the price Of wages. AChicago newspaper
says that never since the war has thore
been movement TO parallel that OF the
storekeepers In announcing an increase
In prices. According 10 this John
Smith, Republican, who has
goods TO sell, In order 10 defeat
the Republican party, announces an IN
crease In prices. The storekoepcrs dolih-
erately enter into conspiracy 10 drive
their customers away.
The bill also adds 10 the price OF q clean
shirt. There il 10 he linen trade dovcl-
oped In tho United States. We have
never been able TO raise lax TO make
flno linens. As long as the farmers OF tho
United States can raise wheat corn and
hogs, they will never produce iiax Tor ilno
linen, and the people back OF tho Mekin'
Icy bill never expect them 70. They OK
pcct an enormous raise on oil linen goods,
and they will get II.
We all like 10 have sunshine In our
homes and this cannot be put on the tariff
list, but common window glass which IL
essential 70 sunshine, has been raised 100
per cent, Glass Is manufactured In my
State, vet would scorn TO vote TO tax all
the people In the United State, II never
held public Office In New Jersey or any
other State. Why do they do itY In
Ohio, Indiana and Hennsylvania someone
struck q match and discovered natural
eas. God sends q blessing and Mckinley
takes II away and puts II on his tariff bill.
Natural gas Is cheaper than coal What
was intended aa blessing has been turn
cd into curse by the glass manufac-
turers.
All the glass manufacturers are IN n
trust, In New Jersey they were obliged TO
buy Pennsylvania coal and discovered
they could not compete with the manufoc.
turers I'm pittsburg who had natural gas
The members Of the trust decided to get
the Republicans to put u prohibitory tar
1T on glass. Then the country was diyid'
ed into two sections the eastern manuioc-
turers taking the territory east OF the AL
leghcny mountains and the others that
west The glass trust has the American
people by the thront. Now imagine II
glass trust dividing the people Of the
United States. Napoleon on u raft In the
middle of the river, divided the. whole OF
Europe, and the glass truet sat down over
the Mckinley bill and said you tnko that
fellow for your prey and | will take this
one,
warn the housewife TO DO careful OF the
