ATTENTION CARNBs.

A Solid Old Farmer Who Is Not a Demo-
crat, Wants Some Valuable Inforna-
tion.
EDITOR Ews.DEMocRAT:-At meeting
in Tabernacle last night Mr.. Allen Carnes
claimed that free sugar is lower in price,
which is true, and that protected tin Is
lower by reason of the great tin plate fac
tories that have sprung up all over the
land, of which we are not aware, and
which we do not believe. Will you, or Mr..
Carnes tell us where the tin plate factor
les are capital invested, number of men
employed, and product up to date of Mr..
Carnes' speech? If we have this great
industry we all ought to know it. If we
have the factories to get, such an intelli'
gent and polished gentleman as Mr..
Carnes ought not to deceive and mislead
his fellow citizens.
Again Mr.. Carnes attributed the pres
ent prosperous condition of the farmers
Ii. e., he said "they are prosperous'O to
the great crops at home and the great de-
mand for those crops abroad, produced
Gf we understand him correctly by the
Mckinley bill. Now will Mr.. Carnes tel
us how the Mckinley bill affects the crops
at home and how it produces demand
for these crops abroad, except by the free
trade part of the bill? Rather does no
the bill close the avenues of export ant
keep our farm products at home? Are
Mr.. Carnes' statements candid and fair
or are they demagoguery These thing
demand candid treatment.

Mr.. Burrows closed by explaining free

and proceeded TO denounce the clipped
dollar, he evidently didn't know that
Major Mckinley had voted for just that
kind of dollar. 1t was amusing to
notice the look on the faces of Jules Whit
ing, Jr. and W. X. Miller when they notic-
ed the speaker treading on dangerous
ground. He denounced the clipped dol

said free coinage would benefit only the
man in debt, while IL would greatly harm

FUNERAL OF MIR. J. G. ELsAss.
A Large Conoourse OF People Pay Thei
J,aat Respeots to His Memory.

A Large Conoourse of People Pay Their
Last Respects to His Memory.
Mr.. G. Elsass was buried from the
Presbyterian instead OF. the Lutheran
church, of which he was MEMBER IN
order TO be able TO seat the large crowd OF
people in attendance, yet, with the large
seating capacity of that church, 1t was
filed, the aisles and balcony being crowd
ed before the time OF services. The old
est citizens do not remember an instance
in which funeral has been so largely
attended. The services we're sad beyond
the power of my pen TO describe. Rev.
Schumacher delivered an excellent sermon
full of pathos. Tears were in his eyes
while speaking, and his reference to
the life of the departed member OF bis
flock, who had been gathered into the
heavenly fold, was made with a sweet
tenderness that awed and encouraged his
hearers in the Christians faith. The
floral tributes were beautiful, an Offering
from the business men OF our village, in
testimony of their esteem and love for the
departed, whose life in business, made a
model that could be followed, not only
with financial gain, but with the gain of
treasure laid up in the great beyond for
the faithful. As Rev. Schumacher stated
in his discourse, there was no time in
Johns active business life, but what time
was found by him to attend to all the SER
vices of the church.
The employees OF the Brick Works and
the business men of the town attended
the funeral in body and acted as an es.
cort TO the remains. Business was entirely
suspended, and all faces gave evidence Of
sadness at heart at the loss of John.
He has been taken from us while
in the strength of his manhood
and at o time when he was
active, ambitious and filed with lito's best
hopes. No more honor could have been
given him if he had held the highest Office
in the land, and his memory will be re-
called for years with the hndest feeling
OF respect. know how futile it is to adj
dress words to mourning relatives in this
moment of supreme anguish. If God has
plucked bright blossom from your home
1t is for q purpose none OF us dare divine.
He alone can pour balm upon your crush
ed heart and give you the knowledge of a
meeting, in the words of Rev. Schmuck.

a NOVEL CASE OF FLAaa1Na.

a Young Farmer Stops the Cleveland Sc
Canton Passenger Train North Of Con-
gress Lake.
Passengers on the northbound passen-
ger train, No. 4, Monday evening, were
thrown into state of sudden nlarm when
the train quickly stopped at point a
short distance north of Congress Lake.
The mystery was soon explained. The
train was bowling along at good rate of
speed when Engineer Pedlar noticed a
young man alongside the track near a
sharp curve. AS the train approached, the
man waved at the engineer, holding in his
hand at the time, something red. The
ever careful engineer thought it was a
signal to stop and Immediately applied
the air.brakes. When the spot was
reached the farmer was much alarmed to
find he had stopped the train and was
really innocent of any such intention. He
had secured some fine red apples, and
being of an ingenious turn of mind,
secured wire and strung the apples on it
like a lot of buttons. He then made the
whole into a wreath, and it was this apple
wreath which caused the train to stop, as
the farmer merely intended to show the
traiumen what kind of a genius he was.
The trainmen enjoyed the joke, and the
train proceeded on its way, leaving the
reassured farmer standing beside the
rack with huge grin on his face.

d, II. Muller.


d. II. Muller.
Rev. d. II. Muller, of the First Metho-
dist church Of Canton, has announced his
departure from that fold, and he surround
ed his farewell with some of the high
pressure rhetoric which controls his men
tai action. Some anonymous letter writer
has been invading his private affairs, and
he devoted his last sermon to a malignant
attack upon the cloaked assassin. The
world agrees with all the abuse that can be
heaped upon the despicable libeler who
sneaks behind an anonym. But there are
a good many residents of this county who
feel the same contempt for the conduct of
Rev. Muller when he has not hidden be-
hind anonymity.
He has been supposed to be an apostle
of the Lord, an evangelist of the blessed
faith that Christ is Love. But no cam
paign has passed wherein the Rev. Muller
has not made an unchristian attack upon
Democrats, belched forth the most venom
Gus Satanic hate upon them, libeled them
as copperheads, and catalogued them
among the irremediably damned. Against
the foreign.born he has been especially

FREE SILVER Co1NAaE.


a Citizen of Canton Makes Some Perti-
mont Observations on Mr.. Burrows' Anti
Silver Talk.
EDITOR NEws.DEMoCRAT:-
In MIR. Burrows speech in the Taberna-
Gle last night he argued that the free coin
age OF silver would be a bad thing because,
as he said, it would make it easier for the
debtor to pay his debts, the mortgagor TO
to cancel his mortgages, etc.
Now, If that be true, would it be q bad
thing? Would it be an evil to produce
such condition of things in this country
that the farmer, the mechanic, the labor
or and the professional man who has been
compelled, by the so,called protective sys-
tenn, to mortgage farm and home, could
more easily pay off such encumbrauces ?
Would it not at the same time cause the
wheels OF industry to move and enable
the toilers, the producers to procure more
comforts and luxUries for their homes ?
Would it not thus benefit all except the
great millionaire class? And is IL not be-
cause Mr.. Burrows is the employee, agent
or partner of that class that he comes to
Ohio to urge the people of Ohio TO not
take such rash step as to seek to make
1t easier to cancel their mortgages and pay
their debts. V.
