The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-10-22


join Mr.. Sherman in all that he says
regarding the fraudulent voting in the
South. For the sake of argument let US
admit that all Sherman says is true. Sup
pose single voter in the South is given
az much right as three men in
Ohio. What has Sherman done in
voting TO admit rotten boroughs,
| which are called States2 As many men
| can be crowded into Barnum's tents, as
are in some Of these States, which have
two United States Senators. Take Ne
| vada for instance. In this great county
| of Stark there are $1,000 people. In Ne
vada there are only 1900. IL Nevada
| has two United States Senators, Stark
| county should have three. Senator Sher-
man has voted to give $4,000 people in
Nevada, the same rights as 3,6OO,OOO in
Ohio, and 100000 in New York.
According to his charge one man Is
| given the power OF three, while according
| to his system of voting he gives one man
| the power of II citizens. Let us submit
the question TO a judge, / don't think one
| year in the penitentiary is too long for the
| Democrats in the South who indulge in
this practice, but while they go for two
years, Senator Sherman will have to goto
the penitentiary for 119 years.
Currency is not germAne to this cam
| paigu. As far es / am concerned my
| views Are known and have been formed
after many years study. Nor do l under.
stand that the Democratic party has made
any record on the question. Go TO Re-
| publican Kansas and in convention you
| will see n demand for free coinage. Look
at the Republican platform in Pennsyl'
| vania aud you will see platform so sneak
| ing that no man knows the attitude of the
party, Go to Democratic Massachusetts,
| say Democratic Massachusetts because
Republican Massachusetts, has needed
from the Union. Go to New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut and you will find
suph Hfnarnnnn ~ nnfninn that

Sherman IL the present D6n,oorEtis plat

tional one. The present clause 10 almost
the same 40 the Republican national plat
form, on which Sherman was 30 anxious
20 secure tho Republican nomination for
President, -.
Last February Major Mckinley went 70
Toledo. He spoke there, not 90 am
speaking now, offhsnd, bet ho had writ
ten every word of his speech and COM
mitted it oven 10 the periods and semi.
eolons. (The speaker read Q por Ion of
the speech in which Mckinley bitterly
denounced Grover Cleveland, 70: his,
Cleyeland's position nc ainet free ll'erl
Mckinley colld seeuro the pooiden cS
boss OF the Peoples party on that speech.
At niles, six months later, whom Me-
KcKinley had 70 collect q teZt, Ae took the
gospel Of Grovsr Cleveland. THU fall
everything that Mckinley has 50 say on
silver, 10 drawn from the rsscI Foir OF
Grover Gle yeland. It ia singular that men
chRnge their opinions in so short time on
an important matter. On thiE gu. tion
eroTv Democrat and Republican is en-
titled 70 bold his own Views, As the matter
will not be settled by State election.
Those that say this election viii settle the
free,coinage OF siver are either insincere or
try 70 deceive their audiences.
Tow We come to the tsriff. Give me
the power TO tax the people and l viii
direct tho Welfare OF every family in The
country. l like thiS thing Of direct taxa
ton. Indirect taxation may at timeS no
necessary but should never be taken vol
| UNFAIRLY. The income tex ia the best es q
| man knows what he pays, while by the in
direct system OF taxation he has no idea Of
what he is paying. Protection taks5 a
! cent, nickel, dime and dollar here and
| there and as the Englishman BnyE you
| never know II. The average tariff taxes
PCr every man here has been about $50 a
year and under tho Mckinley law will
| now equal 800. The five thousand faml-
| lies in Canton will pay this year $500 COO.
| They say it 10 for the benefit OF the manu-
| facturers. IL man comes along here
! aud vents 100000 year to start new
| industry, you will look for a club instead
| Of going down into your pocket books.
| At this point that we're cries Of tin and
| the spsaker said: The only branch Of the
| tin industry that amounts to anything, 10
| the producing Of block tin in California,
and this IL the free trade part of tin, be-
| cSusc there ia no duty on block tin. In
| these SE10 tin plate factories, where man
| and boy are employed like tho one in St.
1 Louis, they cannot mako enough tin in .
generation TO make On ordinary wash
basin.
| and IL IL n natural right. God himGelf ar
ranged Such q climate and such o resource
Tor the different parts of the country, in
| order TO compel them to trade With one
| another. The man in Ainnesota con buy
. thrsshinR machine made In Canton,
while the farmer in Manitoba cannot
do II.
Protection brings no revenue to the
treasury. As long as the tariff IL prohibit
tive there is no revenue. send TO Switz-
erlAnd and under free trade get watch
for 500. Say there is o 10 per cent rsye-
Gao tariff thea ! pay $llO, ,t,.;dO the sIO going

Warwick, ~ want to make watches and
desire TO be protected.n Mr.. Warwick
says mo am a DEMOCRAT, and % there
arc probably 10, 900 people in tho district
tax O,oCO people for your beneflt.n
The protection watch maker goes to
| Major Mckinley and says VI wantto make
watches aud desire $50 protection on q
500 watch" Not thinking OF the 10000
| people VINO want WatSnes, AolOr hchln-
ley agrees to the proposition.
The Switzerland watch now costa $160,
and instead of buying that home made
one is purchased. The government loses
the $40 revenue tax, while the mAnufnc-
turer gets the $3.50. The $40 loss in tneye-
nue. must be made up on something else,
and consequently We must now pay the
$50 tariff and $40 revenue tax, or $40.
Cheap raw material In the foundation
for sucesssful manufacturing. Between
1850 aud 1850 under low tsrin
! manufacturing increased SO pei
cent. Under high tariff manufacturing
in this country has only inere2aed 65 per
cent. In England in forty-five ye1rs un-
der FREQ trade, her manufacturers have
Increased more thEn in one hundred years
under q high protective tnriH.
! say that the Republican protectionist
who will wilfully deceive the people on SO
important question as wages Is not wor'
thy to he heard. Workingmen are inter
ested In cheap raw material the came oG
the manufactures. Wages advanced un'
der low tariff II per cent. while under .
protective tariff they only. advances
per c9nt On the otneE
hand what ought 70 hAvs
brought III per cent. only got 9 per cent
IL protection is good for the workingman,
protected industries ought to pay better
than those that ore not protected. The
fact 10, that the protected industries pay
poorer wages. Those who dig iron ore In
some regions only get 30 cents day,
| while In FREQ trade times they got Sl.60.
