AND now the tin plate benefcaries are COM
ing in for still further recognition of their right
to exact tribute from the hard working consum-
er. Commissioner Owen, speaking for the Har
rison administration through the Republican ex-
Congressman Niedringhaus, the great tin plate
fraud and humbug, assures the Association that
Welsh tin workers can be imported notwith-
standing the contract labor law, but when the
present conditions change, and the tin plate in
dustry becomes established, or when there shall
be found sufficient number of skilled tin plate
workers TO carry on its manufacture with rea-
sonable degree of business facility, THEN the
importation of such workmen will be in viola
ton of the contract labor law"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer has rightly anal
yzed the matter in the following excellent edito-
ria, which ought to be read and reread by every
voter in Portage County who objects to paying
tax tribute to favored millionaire class:
"When the bill was pending the country was
assured by its advocates that its object was to
give employment to American labor; that the
men were here to make the tin plate and would
do it if the product of "Welsh pauper labor -
was kept from competing in our market with the
product of their labor. The suggestion made
then and since, that the welsh pauper labor
would be imported to make the tin plate here
was met with a reference to the contract labor
law, which would prevent such importa'ions
| Now the official charged with the enforcement
of that law notifies the political tin plate patriots
that its provisions will be suspended in their be
half, and they are free to import all the "Welsl
pauper labor" they want When they are ready
to admit that the tin plate industry is estab
lished," further importation of such labor will
be in violation of the law, and not before.
"When will that admission be made? No
until enough "pauper labor" has been imported
to reduce wages to the point where American
tin can be produced at good profit. If tn
first importations become dissatisfied and folloS
the example of their American competitors, b
striking for better wages, the contract labor lay
can be suspended again and again, until til
manufacturers say they have a sufficient mum
Der of skilled tin plate workers to carry on il
manufacture with a reasonable degree of bus
ness facility"
THAT is the McKineyistic construction c
the contract labor law. How do the workme
in whose interest the law was passed like it ?"

Kadam,s Microbe Killer.

Many years ago. DR.. Maclagan, of the English
Tyndall. Prof Koch, Lewis Pasteur and others of
the French Academy of Sciences. united in pre-
dieting that the time must come when some
powerful antidote would be discovered that
would destroy microbes. and thereby cure all
disease, and furthermore. that the antidote would
be some liquid, strongly impregnated with gases,
capable of penetrating, without injury, to every
part and organ of the system. The Radam Mi
crobe Killer fills the terms of that illustrious
prediction in chemical form. in pen etrative en-
ergy, in its powerful gaseous nature, in its harm
lessness to the human bodysand itsfatality to all
mierobic life. In appearance it is bright liquid.
with a piquant, pungent, refreshing and palata-
BILE taste. 1t comes. for trade purposes. in neat
gallon jugs distinctly trade-marked, and is drank
by the wineglassful. at intervals determined by
the circumstances of the case. Aside from
the curative principle, which is its chief and vi
tai characteristic, the effects of the drink are
| tonic. appetizipg and strengthening. In case of
virulent microbic affections, its deadly power
over all microbic life is manifested in its infali
BILE determination of the injecting and infesting
| swarm, while its innocence of all harm to the
human system is demonstrated to be as complete
as that of new milk or pure water.
! Abundant home. together with testimonials
from all over the country. attest its unfailing
efficacy in permanent relief of disease, of what
ever nature.

A Religious Horse.

A Hartford Comm physician tells
this story: when Sunday comes my
horse knows that am not proceeding
on my professional rounds, but he will
put on his best style and proceed to the
accustomed church, when, without any
guiding on my part, he will land his
load at the church door; and woe to the
team that may chance to get in ahead
of him. On no other day of the week
will he make the attempt to turn up
into or pay attention to the road lead
ing to the church. Two weeks ago
Sunday l took my wife out for a ride
on Bolton mountain, and in going had
to pass church, one to which the
horse was not accustomed to 60, when
to my surprise he was bound to stop.
1t was only with some difficulty that /
got him past the spot. About a mile
and half further on he came to
another church. one at which he has
never been accustomed to stop. TO my
surprise John made another strong eff
fort to stop. On any week day he will
pass that church daily without paying
it the least attention"

FATE.

One fair and fragile fragrant flower
1 once plucked in pleasures bower.
And gladly wore upon my heart.
Till my life it grew apart:
And now it is much easier, far,
From yonder heaven to strike star.
Than from my life to strike the light
That all its shadowed ways make bright.
Into all lives some rain must fall,
Into all eyes some tear drops start.
Whether they fall as a gentle shower.
Or fall like fire from an aching heart;
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubling come.
Lashing the waves of life's great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam.
Over all paths some clouds must lower.
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring.
Tearing the flesh to bitter wounds.
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting
Upon all brows rough winds must blow.
. Over all shoulders a cross be lain.
Bowing the form in its lofty height,
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
Into all hearts some duty thrust,
Unto all arms some burden given.
Crushing the heart with its dreary weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods sunlight comes str gaming down.
Gliding the ruins of life's great plan
Weaving for all a golden crown.

Hon. Thomas Il. PeckInpaugh,

That the Democracy of Wooster should
in the nomination of our esteemed and honored
fellow-citizen to the candidacy for Auditor of
State, is expected, and that they should tender
him demonstrative reception on his return
from the convention that unanimously nomina-
ted him. was eminently proper. 1t was also the
just and beitting thing for any citizen regard
less of political adhesion in this instance to eX-
hibit his local pride in. and his high apprecia-
ton of highly deserving and meritorious
neighbor's public recognition. On the arrival
of Hon. Thomas E. Peckinpaugh at his home,
last Thursday, he was met at the depot by many
of the local Democracy and the Cornet Band,
and the Wooster Drum Corps. He ewas receiv-
ed in style justly due to one having merited
the highest esteem of his fellow-citizens. He
was conducted to cab in waiting, and accom-
panied by Hon. E. B. Eshelman and L. P.
Ohliger. and followed by the afore mentioned
bands and long file of citizens, he was taken
directly to the Auditors office, which had been
previously, profusely and tastefully decorated
with flags and bunting. Here large assem-
blage of citizens, Democrats and Republicans,
had met to welcome, honor and congratulate
Mr.. Peckinpaugh, who loudly called for.
Mr.. Eshelman first appeared and explained to
the audience how the nomination was secured.
The crowd persisted in hearing Mr.. Peckin-
paugh, who appeared. and in his own unosten-
tatious style declared his gratitude to his Wayne
county friends for their assistance in bringing
him SO prominently before the Democracy of
the State, thus making it possible for him to re-
ceive the high honor thrust upon him. He
recognized the fact that he had friends not of
his own political faith and for this he felt very
grateful. Mr.. Pecldnpaugh is not an orator,
and begged to be excused from making set
speech. He was followed by John McSweeney,
IT., who was not in good voice for the occasion,
but who said that the nomination of Mr.. Peck
inpaugh was an honor to Wayne county.
1t is always source of pleasure to one not
stepped in fanatical partisanship, to see his fel-
low-citizen honored, and it intensies that pleas
ure when he can demonstrate his feelings. A
person is really to be commiserated who cannot
share in these friendly rejoicings.-[W Wooster

AN IDEAL condition of affairs, ac'
cording to Repu blican teachings,
would be to do away with railroads
and steamships for commercial pur-
poses, and permit none but articles
and products incapable of manufacture
or growth in this country to enter our
ports. Extended to its legitimate re-
suits, each State would also retire
within itself to the same extent, com,
merciaIly speaking, and thus would
all the people realize the blessings of
"self support" the independence born
of home production and "home
market.n
We are assured that nearly every
thing we need in the line of raw ma
terials is here, and no "pauper made
goods" should be allowed entrance
here, if it be possible to make them
ourselves. But when this doctrine is
carried step further along its inevit-
able line of logic, and Justice and its
teachings are followed to the end these
same "home market" advocates fly
the track at once, and send up pitious
wall of I" protection to our infant in
dustries." They fight against com.
merce just as men once lifted up their
voices against labor saving machinery,
but are very anxious to get into
the markets of other countries ar d
sell their goods at "pauper" prices.
That is, they are willing to take fair
profit where they are compelled to do
So But when it comes to their boast
ed "hCme market" g cheap coat
makes cheap man." and extortionate
profits are wrung from the people
whom high protective" tariff has
placed at their absolute mercy. The
scale of profits is never high enough
for these cunning casuists, and they
are continually scaling them up thro'
the medium of trusts" and "com-
bines,n with which the people have
already had too much experience.
They say to the American laborer,
"you must protect yourselves from the
| SN1IS VI COLu PCtAI1Oh WILL
pauper labor, by keeping their pro-
ducts out of the country" They then
proceed to import lot of this same
pauper labor" and at the same time
advance the price of their goods to the
home consumer, while selling the same
articles in foreign markets at free
trade prices America for Ameri.
cans, ;" F." home market" and the many
ingenious Republican catch phrases
formed to hoodwink the producing
laberer, are fast becoming exploded
iniquities. A policy that would wal
up our country against the introduc.
ton of pound of foreign merchan.
disc coming into legitimate competi-
ton with the home product, and thus
forcing the consumer to pay enormous
prices for what they buy, will be OF
short duration, now that its real i'm
port is understood by the people.

WOOSTER REPUBLICAN: Thomas E Peck
inpaugh, our own genial and affable Auditor, is
the Democratic nominee for Auditor of State.
This honor was accorded him without any op
position, and in the vernacular of the politician,
we would say, by acclamation. Mr.. Peckin-
paugh is gentleman in every sense of the word,
he is eminently qualified to fill the office to
which he aspires, and he possesses qualities of
heart and character that reaches out and fastens
him to vast circle of friends not bounded by
party lines. All, Thomas, we are proud of you,
and we can't say word against you. Take
our hand in recognition that you are good and
true as steel; but you must allow us to regret
that your noble, manly qualities are enlisted
against us.
