1t was an infinite relief to be alone, and
locked into her own room. For long
time she thought confusedly, or rather a
confused mass of mixed memory and
thought thronged her brain, without any
effort of her will.
How wildly Warnings face, pale with
painful emotion, the day they last met,
came back to her. He had quite forgiven
her; she felt that. He was a really good
fellow. She wished they could be friends
again, as she was with Kenneth: but that
would never be, she feared. She never
could feel at ease with him. He looked as
if he had suffered a good deal. Was it her
fault? Oh, no! she never could admit that.
She should like to let him know that she
had generally very good opinion of him,
but how should she find time TO do so,
when he had said more than once that he
would only stay couple of days? What a
curious contradictory tumble life was al
together! Mona felt unaccountably I'M

Mona could not help smiling at the sim

1t was foolish to feel so uncomfortable

Still, she did not leave her room quite so
early as she usually did. She was determ-

Uncle Sandy and Kenneth were already

Where Has the Surplus Goneq

When President Harrison was inaugu-
rated there was a surplus in the United
States treasury in excess of $130, O00.-
900. To-day there is surplus of ST.
6S7, 600. What has become of the $129.
900, 900? Will the republican press of
the state answer? VIII Maj. Mckinley
be kind enough to itemize the needy
appropriations made by the republican
congress which dissipated this immense
sum of money? It would be easier for
him to name the wasteful expenditures
which has absorbed S129, 600, 600, wrung
from the people, and squandered with
a prodigality which has no comparison
in the history of mankind. The Ke-
dive of Egypt was compelled to abSi-
cate for extravaganza, and yet his
wastefulness was mere bagatelle COM
pared to the unbridled prodigality of
the last republican congress. A devil
ish malignity characterized their dis
position in looting the public treasury,
and the severest condemnation of the
people is necessary to teach the rascals
that public place is trust which can
not be abused or betrayed with impu-
nifty. Maj. Mckinley was leading
spirit in the billion dollar congress;
sanctioned it's wastefulness and ap-
proved it's extravaganza. Let him be
made to answer to the people. His
overwhelming defeat is well deserved.
He merits the condemnation of the peo-
Dle.

Mckinley as a straddler.

Jno. M. Webb, in the Youngs town
Vindicator, has this to say:
Candidate Mckinley, in his cam
paign of lodging from tariff to silver,
and from tin plate and free sugar to
reciprocity, is claiming great credit for
this latter free trade feature of his bill.
In this he is only showing himself
strong in versatility, but weak in con-
sistency. Gov. Campbell has already
taken the sails out of his reciprocity
wind by exposing the fact that he con-
structed his bill and passed it through
the house without z syllable in 1t relat-
ing to reciprocity.
The bill as built by William KcKin-
ley, without reciprocity, is what enraged
James G. Blaine, and in a moment of
righteous indignation, he exclaimed:
''If were in the senate 1 would stamp
it under my feet and spit upon it. +" The
senate heard Blaine, and needing his
advice, added a reciprocity free trade
feature to it so conflicting with the orig
inal, that the s'Nepoleonic'' parent
scarcely knew his own bantling. Reci-
procity is a humbug attachment, but
now the Ohio candidate of the party is
claiming the credit due the man from
Maine.
Is it likely that the people of Ohio
can endorse such straddler? The
truth is, the gentleman from Stark, !"
is being badly bothered by both Gov.
Campbell and Roger @. Mills, who
blew much of McKinley's chaff to
the four winds, under the nose of John
Sherman, at Mansfield, on Saturday.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1891-10-14
An Amusing Paragraph.

John M. Webb, of the Youngstown
Vindicator. gives this Roland for an
Oliver" He should have added that
the Mckinley bill raises the tariff tax on
glass and tin jars.
Every time an intelligent housewife
puts up can of fruit she thanks re-
publican congress for legislating in
favor of cheap sugar and glories in the
fact that while a new industry, the
manufacture of tin plate, is being
started she doesn't have to pay cent
more for the can she puts the fruit in.
The foregoing laughable paragraph
is from the Telegram. The intelligent
housewife will not reason from it as the
Telegram would wish. She will say:
Cheap sugar is the result of removing
the tariff. Therefore the tariff is tax
and if it is good to remove the tax
on sugar, it would also be good to re-
move it on fuel, on tin, on clothing, on
lumber and other commodities.
In regard to the rest of the paragraph
it will be found that glass jars are more
generally used than tin; if the tariff tax
were removed on these, the housewife
could purchase them cheaper, just as
she can sugar,
As far as the manufacture of tin for
household utensils is concerned, not a
pound is produced IL this country, and
the people are paying $25, 600, 900 a year
for nothing.

Did Maj. Mckinley Aid This Fraud4

There was a fraud perpetrated at the
Mckinley meeting, in the town of
Piqua, as shameless in its character as
it was infamous in its purpose. The
local republican leaders had made an
nouncement that they would manu-
facture american tin" on the occasion
of the Mckinley meeting This tin
subject is one of the burdens which the
republicans have to carry in this can
vass. The great public, the innumer-
able consumers, are justly iucensed at
the increased duties placed on tin by
the Mckinley bill The republican
press and the republican orators feel it
incumbent on themselves to deceive
the people as to the intents of the
tin clause in the Mckinley bill 1t was
not put there with any expectation
that the manufacture of tin would
ever become an industry in this coun-
try. 1t was placed there for the sole
purpose of inaugurating and fostering
''tin dipping establishments, and thus,
under the spurious plea of new in
dustry, rob the consumers of tin in the
United States As the day approached
for the Piqua Mckinley meeting the
local republican leaders became con-
scious of the fact that fraud would
have to be practiced if their promise OF
making tin was to be kept They
were equal to the occasion. The fraud
was consummated. Not being in pos
session of one ounce of tin pig, they
applied to the management of the
water works of the city for the loan of
five hundred pounds of pig lead. This
was secured. When the hour for the
making of the ''tin plate" arrived,
Mai. Mckinley, author of the tin plate
clause in the tariff bill and republican
candidate for governor, accompanied
by large number of benighted repub-
hcans, proceeded to the ''tin dipping
establishment to see tin plate made.
The five hundred pounds of borrowed
lead had been melted and was
seething in the pot. 1t is re
ported that Maj. Mckinley, the mar
who makes such unequivocal preten
sions to honesty, seized the tongs ant
| dipped the sheet into the seethine
| liquid lead, and then, triumphantly
| held it up to the eyes of the masses, as
a verifcation of his oft repeated state
ment that ''tin plate" is manufacturer
in this country. One or two position
Maj. Mckinley must assume. He mus
concede that he was utterly and pain
fully ignorant of the fact
of the imposition-that his ignor
ance and credulity were terri
bly, abused; or, that he lent himself t
the perpetration of as vulgar an
shameless fraud as ever disgraced
knave. We are 10th to believe that b
was cognizant of the infamous fraud
With charity we are willing to assum
that he was deceived. But if he was
what is his plain duty? Should he nc
denounce the ,professed friends VIII
took such advantage of his ignorance
Who would have thought that Maj. Nj
Kinley did not know a tin plate
when he saw it? Who would hay
thought that his credulity and his sin
plicity could have been thus impose
on? Such simplicity is close to imbeci
ity.
'Tis true, it's pity, and pity it is It
true"
