Under the Mckinley tariff the cost
of living has gone down. There has
been at least no rise in the cost OF car
pets, clothing, hardware, food, and all
the rest. ! have asked one home pro
WIDER after another To tell me what arti-
Gle they pay more for than they did last
year. In every case they tell me that
nothing Is dearer than IL was, and that
many things are much cheaper. The
difference in the cost OF sugar alone Is
an important item In household ex-
penses. Wages have he'd up and in
many cases have risen.

The gallant MAJORS own district was
bamboozlcd by that lie into voting
against him. His state now has the OPP
portunity and the duty to give 1t its
final quietus. Shah not Ohioprove her

the little hamlet Of Po'and, Mahoning
County, Ohio, In the regiment led by
Colonel Rutherford H. Hayes. Young
Mckinley stuck to lighting in a modest,
businesS-like way, and grade by grade
pushed his way TO the fore. Finally,
when the unpleaSantneSs quieted down
in 1868, Mckinley had earned the gold
leaf Of a major and had developed sun
dry sound traits so well perfected in the
school of war What systematic school
ing Mckinley received in those early
years was acquired at an institution at
Meadville, a. a statesman was pre-
served to the Nation when, at the close
of the war the young volunteer resisted

of Judge Belden. an old practi-
toner of Canton. Politics and
its rewards now began TO boom up
before the rising lawyer, and he soon
! found himself Prosecuting Attorney for
Stark County. In 1876 he was first
elected to congress, and two years
later he first encountered the Giant
Gerrymander, and with him wiped the
earth, for, after one of tho bitterest
fights, he was reelected over Gen.
Aquilla Wiley by a small plurality In
his next Congressional fight he had
clear field, for his district had been re-
stored to its original limits, and Judge
Thoman, of Youngstown, was obliged TO
stay at home In 1882 discussions arose
and Judge Wallace, of New Lisbon,
beat him, although Mckinney was do
cared elected by seventeen votes. In
1884 again he grappled with a gerry
wandered district, $500 Democratic,
and down went David r Paige, Of Ak
ron. In 1883 Mckinley forced Phelps,
Of the Alliance Leader TO stick TO his

stored district the MAJOR laid away on
the shelf George u. Iker, of Columbiana
County.

ron. Eighteen years ago he married
Miss Ida Saxton, of Canton. Those
eighteen years have proven Mckinley
the perfect husband, for during all this
time his wife has required the extra de-
votion demanded by confirmed invalid.

The Rev. ID. II. Muller, Of the I irst
Methodist Episcopal Church. Canton,
man who knows Mckinley well, says Of
his dominant traits
AS to his moral qualities, his con-

him always in harmony with his own
convictions, and making him reliable
when great principles are at stake.
