were predicting the ruin of our canning
factories because of the certain raise in
the price of tin cans. Their predictions
dfd not come true, but on the contrary,
tin cans that brought So per hund red In
August, 1890, were sold tor 81 per hun
dred in 1891, despite an almost unpre-
cedented demand.
A year ago the political results and
the crops were Democratic; they sus-
tanned the calamity-wailer and helped

Just now he is trying to compel the
citizens of Dayton, o., to pay %
cents for natural gas, which he agreed

substantial, and almighty dollar that
Mr.. Brice is chasing with the greatest
zeal and energy, and it may be said In
passing that his efforts in this direction
have been more successful than his pur-

Hon. Andrew d. White declares that
the Republicans of Ohio won the re-
cent election because the party in that
state battled for the fundamental prin-
ciples of Republicanism and STOOD

Polk has declared that he should stump
