HIGH TARIFF AND LOW WAGES.

In the NEWS DEMOCRAT of Friday
we published contribution from an
old time Republican, (now a free
trader) showing how high tariff
decreases wages. That this is true all
we'll informed political economists
know. That the Mckinley bill has de-
creased wages in this country, every
we'll informed laboring man knows,
who is working in protected industry.
In the first place the high tariff has
caused the formation of over one hun
dred trusts. The object of a trust is
two fold, first to put up prices, and
second, TO limit production to the de-
mands of The market.
Putting up prices, increases the
burdens of all who are compelled to
buy; and limiting production throws
an increased number of unemployed
laborers ON the market to compete with
other laborers and force down the price
of labor. This is not all 1t does. The
radical disturbance of our commercial
relations with other countries, caused
by the increased tariff on foreign pro-
ducts, has thrown large number of
foreign laborers out of employment,
who formerly made goods and wares

Ship companies, of big wages and flush

them paupers, willing sto work for
pauper wages. And the last few ship

seeds of the deadly cholera.
That high tariffs rob labor is evident
from the wage comparisons between
England and Germany-twO countries
side by side, of about the same race
progress, age, density of population
and natural advantages. 1t is fair to
institute comparison between these
two In the matter of wages, England
being a low tariff country, and Germany
highly protected. Following is table
compiled from official sources:

INDECENT JOURNALISM.

Eight car loads of machinery made
for the United States navy by the Nor
gan Engineering Company, were ship
ed today from Alliance. Which do the
voters Of the Eighteenth congressional
district prefer to endorse at the polls
a man who by high reputation as q
skilled manufactures is able to secure
the contract for building this class of
work In our midst, and thus giving en-
ployment to labor, or man who is a
mere political blatherskite p-Alliance
Review.
The above, from Mr.. Morgan's home
organ Is not respectful to DIR. Ikirt, the
Democratic nominee for Congress. DIR.
Ikirt is a first class man, a leading citi-
zen, and a man of excellent character.
He is not political blatherskite. Nor
gan secured some fat contracts from
the United States government, out of
which he has made a great deal of
money. We are glad he secured these
contracts, as the money comes to Stark
county. But, when Morgan makes big
money out of fat government contracts
he ought not to import European
paupers to compete with American
laborers, and he ought not to crush out
all labor unions in his shops. If
the tariff was made for the benefit
of the American laborers, why
has Morgan always opposed allowing
his own laborers to organize for Pro-
lection, in order TO secure some of the
benefits of Protection, for which they
are enormously taxed, on all they wear
and consume.
Now ls not man, who has grown
rich under Protection, and who has
secured many fat government con-
tracts, under Protection, and who
bought his nomination for Congress
with spot cash, good deal more of a
political blatherskite than man like
DR.. Ikirt, who never asked any legisla-
tion for his own benefit, and who is
running for Congress on the principle
that 1t is not right to take bread out of
the mouth of labor, before labor has a
chance to masticate it, for the benefit
of a man, who has grown rich by ab-
sorbing the bread of labor, that he

This is the question. The laboring
men of this district can settle it to suit
themselves.

WHAT TO DO.
Important Details In tho Fine Art OF
Good Manners.

Important Details In tho Fine Art OF
Good Manners.
Good manners are the source and in
spiration of easy social intercourse. They
are the means Of bringing people together
in gentleness, grace and savoir-faire. For
the men or women who observe the
amenities Of life; who inherit the great
gift, the perfect manner; who by goodness
of heart and graciousness of disposition
pave the way for those about them; who
delight and charm human beings, and con
tent them with themselves--they have at
last reached the place in life in which they
are source of perpetual pleasure, an ever
abiding joy to those who know them and a
cheer and sunshine to those who believe in
them" An authority on social matters
adds, in Harper's Ba2ar, the following sug
gestions for attaining the pleasing condi
tion described in the foregoing words:
Cultivate dress as a fine art, for min
ute attention to personal adornment and
elegance of toilet Is the duty of every man
or woman in civilized society. 1t is the
outward show that enables the world to
Judge of us personally, our character re.
fnement and condition, of the station in
life in which we are thrown. 1t is duty
we owe our family, our friends and the
world at large. 1t is the passport to good
breeding and the support of fine manners.
Never eat bonbons or confections of any
kind on the street. in vehicles or in public
places. Munching sweets is considered by
all refined and intelligent persons as i'll
bred and provincial. Study repose of
manner, Swinging Of arms, humming Of
tunes, frequent contortions Of the face and
restlessness of feet and hands are not only
very trying to your family, but they are
source Of irritation and annoyance to
others.
After visiting an out of town house a
letter sent within week is equivalent to
a call.
Never discuss yourself, your servants or
domestic affairs In polite circles conver
sation is Of a nature so general that con-
tinual talking of one's self is considered
i'll bred and vulgar,
Never interrupt conversation at any
time or in any place. A good listener is a
great boon to mankind. There is a code Of
rules which is the result Of all these social
observances. A sentence, an incident, an
opinion expressed should be given without
interruption.
Be careful in carrying small bundles or
parcels on which the name of the shop

and makes for the buyer a helpful article
in travelling or shopping.

A BOGUS SOLDIER.

In the 14th district, one Capt. john
son is running on the Republican ticket
for Congress, against M. ID. Harter of
Mansfield, This Captain Johnson has
been wearing veteran soldier button
for the past ten years and exhibiting
himself as one of the "Boys in Blue"
who put down the rebellion. He Sc
cured the nomination for Congress in
the convention over several good men,
on the ground that he was soldier. 1t
now transpires that he was no soldier.
That he was never south of the Ohio
line during the whole cruel war. That
he was never within 100 miles of any
section of a rebel army; and that his
claims for soldier support are as base
less as they are base. 1t seems Captain
Johnson did enlist early in the spring
of 1861, for 80 days. That he went into
camp with Co. 18th Ohio Infantry, and
was elected Captain. That during the
time the regiment was in camp Tin
Ohio) the order came to re-enlist the
regiment for three years. That Capt
Johnson refused to re-enlist, and went
home, where he staid during the entire
struggle. This is his war record. 1t will
be seen that 1t Is utterly without merit /;
devoid OF courage, and that he has no
place now with true and enduring sold
iers. The fact that he has been flaunt-
ing his title in the eyes of the young
generation, that has come upon the
stage since the war, shows that he is
wanting In true manly qualities. Let
every soldier of record in the l4th dis
trict vote to keep Captain johnson
where he was during the war-at home.

A CHOLERA REMEDY.

Tobacco Smoke Completely Destroys the
BaoilIi of Asiatio Cholera.
Popular Science News is authority for
tho following statement; A large number
of investigations have been made by DR..
Tassinari on the influence Of tobacco smoke
on the germs Of cholera, anthrax and pneu-
monia. His method of research was to
line the interior Of hollow balls with gela-
tine containing the germs Of the diseases
named; tobacco smoke was then passed
through these globes for from ten to thirty
minutes. The surprising fact was then
established that at the expiration of that
time the bacilli of true Asiatic cholera and
of pneumonia were completely destroyed
whatever the kind Of tobacco employed for
the purpose. The gelatine was absolutely
sterilized by the tobacco smoke. The an
thrax bacillus was more resistant, however
while the bacillus Of typhoid was scarcely

PRoTEoTIoNIsM has no literature.
Crime never did have a literature. Its
votaries rise, flourish and fall, leaving
no records save those that appear in
pages that recount triumphs of their
foes. The motive of theft and injus-
tice is the same wherever they may be
found, and with that motive all learn
ing, all art, all morality, all justice, are
forever and everywhere at war. Like
other criminal propagandas, protec-
tionism is unknown In the Libraries. 1t
is stranger to the schools. 1t is re-
pulsive to youth, 1t is abhorent to in
telligence and virtue. Frowned upon
by all these and indorsed only by greed,
the efforts in recent years of a few mis-.
guided advocates of tariff theft to force
their way into libraries with meretri-
cious campaign documents and into
classrooms with paid instructors in the
art of robbery and oppression can have
no lasting result, for the invincible
powers of truth are against them and
ultimately Will prevail.

IT is conceded that our venerable and
much honored with Office friend, John
Sherman, is very able man. He has
views on the tariff now that he does not
care to express in public. This is be-
cause he does not believe in the Nc
Kinley bill. The venerable John was
often given to expressing his mind,
away back, say ten years ago. In 1888,
In public speech John said:
"In 1867, the price of wool was 81
cents; in 1870, 46 cents; in 1880, which
was an abnormal year, 40 cents per
pound; this was the result of the policy
of protecting the wool grower, as it is
in all industries,to gradually reduce the
price. Under the operation of the ex-
isting law (the tariff of 1850, the price
of wool has gradually gone down"
This Is quite unsatisfactory reading
for sheep farmers like Farmer Mellow
ell of Stark county, who invested in
high priced rams, (when the Mckinley
bill placed the high tariff on wooI) aud
who still has the rams on hand.

THE pbiladalDbja Telaoranb (Ren ie

THE Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep) is
disgusted with the fatuous policy of it's
party management, in adopting Peck's
absurd report and making a campaign
document of it. That shrewder Re-
publican paper says
"Peck has made mess for himself,
and the sequel a5undantly confirms the
observations originally made in these
columns concerning his ridiculous doc
ument. 1t was utterly unworthy of at
tention on the part of any intelligent
man, and the Republican national COM
mittee made blunder little less than
crime in taking it up as first-class
campaign document. 1t looks very
much as though Peck was likely to
turn out the Burchard in the present
instance" And yet, Notwithstanding
this sage advice, Gov. Mckinley had
the poor taste to quote from the sneak
and scoundrel Peck, (now under indict-
ment,) In his speech in Philadelphia

able hope of his nomination, yet when
it became evident that such nomintion
could not be made, sixteen of the dele
gates from this county supported the
choice of a majority of the voters OF
Stark county as the man most worthy
of their support. Two years ago at the
convention that nominated the lament.
ed Warwick, this man was then as now
the choice of the majority of Stark
county's delegates, but when 1t became
evident that In order to save the nomi-
nation for Stark county either he OF
Warwick would have to retire from the
contest, he generously withdrew, thus
enabling Massillon to secure the Repre-,
sentative. Afterwards, instead of sulk.
ing during the campaign, he threw off
his coat and labored hard for the cleo
tion OF his successful rival.
Stark county was clearly entitled to
the nomination at the late convention
and she could have secured it, had il
not been for the perversity of these
same Massillon people who stood by
and allowed the nomination to go else
where.
These delegates. who of all Others
should have been actuated by motives OF
the sincerest gratitude to the leading
candidate, not only allowed the nomi-
nation to 60 outside of their OWL

have some candidate other than theil

This may seem good politics to some

Democratic party of Stark county.
