The Minerva Man Will Not AS.

Days at Least.

Before the resumption of the case o.
Ohio against Clinton E. Andrcas, Tuezday
afternoon, William L. Russell, the Min-
erva jeweler who was convicted of as
saultiDQ Amanda Loutzenheispr a
Methodist Sunday school teacher of that
place, was BROUGHT intn court 10 receive
his sentence. His attorney, MIR. Pomer-
enc, was with him and talked encouraR-
inRly to him while tie court was getting
ready to sentence him. Judge Taylor
ordered Russell to stand up. The young
man who 10 quite handsome, arose and
Judge Taylor proceeded to point out to
him just where he had erred. He review
ed briefly the status of tue case as it ap-
peared to him, after which he sentenced
Rnssell to Jail for 30 days and to pay a fine
OF SlOO and costs. The sentence nives
satisfaction as 1t is considered TO be about
in proportion to the offense committed as
adduced by the evidence Ia the case.

SPECIMEN BoBBERIEs IN THE MO-
KINLEY TAaIFF.

If we lived in Cuba or San Domingo
or the Bahamas, we would not care
much about the tax on wOolen goods,
but as we live in climate where every
man, woman and child must wear
wooden clothes or freeze to death, wool
en- goodsis warm question.
As all honest people must buy their
clothes, the increased taxation, causing
increased prices, touches every man,
woman and child on tender spot.
In the tropics we could bid defiance
to the Mckinley wool tariff. We could
wander abroad amid the luxuriant veg
citation, with a breech clout, apalmetto
umbrella and palm leaf fan and tell
the textile fabric monopoliSt to 60 to
Baliwak with his sweat cloths.
But right here in Northern Ohio we
can't do it. Hence it is burniug,
vital question.
1t touches us on the raw every day
of our lives.
Laboring men and good housewives,
read what we give you, for your own
good:
0nerous as were the specific duties
ON wooden goods under the tariff law of
1853 the rates we're greatly increased
by the Mckinley bill, Notwithstanding
the fact that the price Of wool had de-
clined. There was no reason for this
increase in the rates aud duty; it was
not only unauthorized but was purely
arbitrary ard in the interest of the
manufacturer alone. o' l8'4H+ 2
The specific duty under the act Of
1890 on one grade of woolen and worst
ed yarn Is equivalent to an ad valorem
tax Of 81 per cent, on another grade to
63 per cent.
On the cheapest grades of woolen
and worsted clothes, shawls and knit
fabrics, the specific duty is equal to an
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-03-24

az Halorem rate of 130 per cent, and on
another of the same goods to 107 per
cent ad valorem. On cheap blankets,
hats OF wool, flannels, etc, the specific
duties expressed In ad valorem form
Amount TO ga per cent.
The cheapest grades of women's and
ehildren's dress goods are subject under
the present law to specific tax equal
to GO per cent, on ready made clothing
the specific rate amounts to 45 per cent
ad valorem. Throughout the whole
wooden schedule of the Mckinley law
two facts are conepicuously prominent,
the greater part of the duty in every
case consists of specific tax, and the
higher rate in every instance is placed
on the cheapest goods.
In other words it robs the industrious
poor to enrich the rotton rich.
In closing we quote from a valuable
speech of Congressman Ellis, of Ken
lucky:
The uniform testimony OF those en-
gagged in importing and dealing in
II
wOolen goods is that since the passage
of the Mckinley bill imported wooler
| goods are on an average of lighter
weight than before the passage of thai
law, and that an 18-ounce cloth Is nov
made to answer the purpose of i'm
ported cloths, which before the passage
of tue Mckinley law weighed from q
to 81 ounces. The same is true applied
to articles of domestic manufacture
If the consumer gets the article a
prices as cheap as before the passage o.
the Mckinley law 1t is lighter weight
if of equal weight then of inferici
quality.
We here have not only the answer t
the argument of those who insist th'
Mckinley law has not increased thu
price of woolen goods, but the evidence
that one of the direct results of tina
law has been to increase the manufac'
ture and sale of shoddy. In other words
the effect of the present law has been t
put all wool and all worsted goods ou
of the reach of the poor. Shoddy man
ufactured from waste, scraps and cas-
off rags, is the character of goods tn,
Mckinley tariff law prescribes for th
poor.
