why not take the births of 1880 in
Canton, and compare them with the
births in 1890. as showing the remark
able growth in our infant industries,
under the stimulating influences of the
Mckinley bill. Why don't the Evening
Repository get down to business and
give us some instances where wages
have been increased in Canton, since
the Mckinley tariff was enacted. Ii
wages have been increased here, the
laboring men must know 1t. We offer
our columns free to every labOring man
whose wages have been increased.
These are the kind of statistics we
want. The Evening Repository knows
that the worst business year Canton
has experienced in a decade was the
year after the Mckinley bill passed,
And the Evening Repository knows
that wages have been reduced in Can
ton since the Mckinley bill passed
And every laboring man in Canton,
with as much intelligence as an idtotic
asylum, knows it.
Does the Repository expect to foo
any grown people with its figures.
We guess not.
There are only four or FIVE labOriug
men in Canton, that we can think Of,
who have had their wages increased by
the Mckinley bill.
The first man to get benefit was
Mckinley His wages have been in.
creased from $1,000 to $1,000.
The Sheriff has also had an increased
business with increased fees, on ac.
count of increased sherlff's sales of
mortgaged farms and homes.
The Iufrmary director has had
more business on account of having
more paupers to take care of. And
the Mayor aud jailOr have had quite an
increase in tramps.
There has also been an increase In
the number of lunatics sent to the
Toledo insane asylum since the McKin
bill passed. But we have not yet heard
of one man, laboring in q protected
industry, whose wages have been in.
creased and whose lot has been made
more roseate and pleasant, on account
of the Mckinley Till.
Shoot the frauds and humbugs who
are trying to fool some one with bogus
statistics, that lie and lie only.
Vote for Grover Cleveland,

IT is mark of greatness to own up
when you find yourself mistaken, and
General Dan Sickles is essentia lily great
when, in his Harlem speech, he said of
Grover Cleveland: There were sew
enty-twO men from New York in the
Chicago Convention. and after careful
reflection l have come to the conclusion
that eight hundred aud fifty m IN know
more than seventy-two."
Senator Go man by this same token,
is another great man, as in a speech the
other day ia Baltimore he laid; 81 say
to you frankly that l thought, from the
divisions in our party in other States,
that we could not elect Mr.. Cleveland
if nominated. l said this freely in
counsels with other members of the
party, and thought 1t would be wise for
ns to select some other leader. l now
confess that was mistaken. We have
named the right man, and evid ,nces of
this are coming in from all quarters,
and the honest expression of the
country will ratify our selection in
November"

the Presidency since.
the FRANTIC DICK.


Chairman Dick ofthe Ohio Republi.
can committee is spending lots of
Doodle now, in trying to divert the pnb-
lie mind from the robber tariff to the
dangers of wild cat money. Lots of
circulars are now being mailed all over
Ohio, calling attention to the threat
ened crisis, with Autographs of wild cat
money and National Bank notes.
In this scare Chairman Dick is beg
giug for boodle-for more Doodle, with
which to degrade the suffrage and de-
bauch Ohio citizens.
We have in our possession, Dicks
last frantic appeal for succor from the
awful dread of a Democratic victory in
ohio, in circular issued from Co
lumbus, under date of October "a. Here
is an extract from the circular:
For this reason we appeal to you for
aid in such victory as will rebuke and
defeat the purpose OF the free trade
and fiat money theorists
In the absence OF large meetings,
there is danger of light vote and the
loss of Republican Congressman in
Ohio This committee is periectiug the
best organic ation possible, aud desires
to circulate large quantity of good
literature, and take all Legitimate meas
ures to secure the election of President
Harrison and Republican Congress
We therefore respectfully solicit such
contribution as you can consistently
make, as manifesting your we'll known
interest in good government, honest
money and protection to business"
Now gentlemen, shell out, and save
the State. You can remit in National
Bank notes, mot legal tender) or in
short silver dollars, or postal notes.
Anything from a nickel to ten cent
piece thankfully received, II you have
no money, send dozen cabbage heads
or load of pumpkin. The case is
desperate. Ohio is in danger, and get
ting more dangerous every hour.

AND SILL THEY COME.

Edward Burke, of Detroit, Mich,
one of the leading Republicans of that
city, who was a Republican elector in
1883, aud who once ran 1000 ahead of
his ticket in Detroit, has had enough Of
latter-day Republicanism. This is his
way of putting II:
"I will not say that / will quit the
Republican party, but it looks nightly
as though it were trying to quit me. /
will say, though, that, like nearly every
man who has given the matter serious
consideration, / can advocate only such
tariff laws as supply the needed rev.
enue of the government, and must OPP
pose all that conspire for private gain
at the expense Of the masses"
Edward Burke was an Abolitionist
before the Republican party was born.
He was a supporter Of Fremont In 1856.

DEATH OF MRS. HARRISON.


The nation mourns to-day the death
of Mrs. Harrison, the beloved wife of
our President. All parties and all con-
ditions of men and women are sad A
true wife, true woman, an honored
and universally beloved leader Of our
best social life, has gone to her final
reward
Caroline Scott Harrison was born In
Oxford, Butler county, Ohio, ffty-seven
years ago, the daughter of John With
erspoon Scott and Mary Scott,
granddaughter of George McElroy
Scott and Annie II Scott, great grand
daughter of John Scott aud Jane M.
Scott, and great-granddaughter of
Robert Scott, who was member of the
Scottish parliament before the union
of the crown. Her great-grandfather,
John Scott, was commissary general of
the Pennsylvania line and rendered eff
icient service in the Revolutionary
struggle for independence. Her father,
John Witherspoon Scott, was pioneer
minister of the Presbyterian church,
and an educator at Oxford, Ohio. He
was the president of a well-known
young ladies' academy at that place,
where his daughters we're educated. 1t
was here that Benjamin Harrison, then
student in Miami university, met
Miss Caroline Scott.
Gen, Lew Wallace, in his life of
Harrison" says: "It happened that
President Scott had daughter, girlish,
intelligent, witty aud attractive, ia
whom the young man quickly discoy-
cred all the qualities that entered into
the composition Of his ideal of a perfect
woman. Suddenly he gave up atten-
tions to the gentle patrons If the acad-
emy ia general and became more of q
slave to his books than ever For u
season there was much wonder over the
change. AT length it was explained
he was engaged to marry Miss Caroline
w, Scott, the presidents daughter. The
contract argues great courage and con-
fidence in his future, when it is remem-
bered that he was poor, just out of the
junior class and but 1s years of age.
They we're married at Oxford, Oct 20,
1858, and removed to Indianapolis in
1854. Mrs. Harrison's life during her
husbands struggles for success as a
lawyer, legislator, soldier and states-
man was that quiet home-life which is
so characteristic of American homes,
the influence of which is clearly mani
fest in the character of our American
citizens in their thrift, energy and
progress"
When Mrs, Harrison was transferred
from her gentle home life in IRdianapo
lis to the highest position known to our
social life-the Mistress of the White
House-she filed the highest expecta-
tions of her friends and won golden
opinions from all classes of our people.
She made the White House true Ma
tional home, and goes to her final rest
with the sincere love of brave people,
who look above and beyond the polit-
ical strifes, that are part Of our
governmental system, to that
noble aud better life which
lives and will always live in our better
nature, as the truest exampler of our
National life and character. To the
President all tender their sincerest
sympathy IN his greatest sorrow. Around
the bier of his beloved wife there will
be nothing but tears of regret.

STATE ARBITRATION COMMISSIONER
DONOVAN has recently made tour of
the state of New York aud says: From
observations of matters throughout the
state, look for maj jority of from 80
600 to $4,000 for the Democratic ticket.
The bugaboo in regard to the increase
of wages caused by the tariff has been
exploded. Ihave been unable to find a
single workingman whose wages have
been increased through the Mckinley
bill. The wOrkingmen of the state can
not be hoodwinked by the statements
of the Republican managers, and be-
lieve 70 per cent of the votes of organ
liz ID labor will be cast for Cleveland and
Stevenson"

THE Journal and Messenger, Bsp-
list weekly paper of wide circulation,
published in Cincinnati, Ohio, had this
item in its editorial news of last week:
"Of the $500 men formerly employed
at Homestead, less than 300 were
Americans"
Such facts should make any honest
man see that what we need is not pro-
lection to the manufactured goods, but
protection to laaor. Keep the pauper
labor of Europe from coming here and
crowding out honest American work

The Republican ticket in Ohio will
have 10000 maj jority if every ReDubli-
can votes.-Ohio State Journal.
But there are more than 10000 of
them who will not vote; and there at
least ten thousand more who will vote
the other way this fall. In going over
Stark county and portions vt Wayne,
Medina and Lorsin, we find farmers,
who voted for Mckinley and more
robbery last year, now openly for
Grover Cleveland and less robbery
Why, in one ward in Canton some 27
laboring men were found, who were
strong for Mckinley last year, who are
now either POpulists or fol Grover
Cleveland and poor mans chance.
How are you going to figure out 10000
in Ohio for Harrison, when you can't
get enough Republicans out to a
school house meeting to make a re-
spectacle funeral procession for a
tramp.

LYING CENSUS FIGURES.

The 8. o. p. organs are now in desper-
ate straits, and they are using the
manipulated figures of the census Of
1890, to prove that wages have been in
creased under the Mckinley bill. The
Evening Repository OF Canton, in its
Issue of Tuesday. makesaa double head
ed display of the figures for Canton. OF
course this catches few suckers who
only read one newspaper, but the num-
ber is quite limited, and is confined to a
class whose ignorance is too dense to
bs aroused by anything short of a
dynamite explosion or an earthquake.
rhe census figures for Canton are not
pretended to be given in the Federal
census reports. Neither is it shown
that wages have been increased, only
that the aggregate amount paid for la
Dor was larger in 1890 than in 1880.
Thi, was before the present Mckinley
tariff was enacted, hence, the statistics
have no bearing whatever on the ques-
tion of wages since the Mckinley bill
became law. And yet the Evening
Repository, with a gall that Is too
monumental to be measured with any
ordinary vision, parades the Federal
census figures for Canton,in the decade
before the Mckinley iniquity was en-
acted, as AN argument in favor OF the
McKipley tariff.
And is there nothing better than this
70 give us?

MORGAN COULD NOT REPLY.

Two years ago and over, on the 10Th
of October 1890, Hon. John E Monnot
made speech at Wadsworth, Ohio,
which WAS reported and published in
the NEws-DEMoCRAT, making grave
charges against T. r. Morgan, Sr., as
labor crusher, which he proceeded to
prove. To these charges 7. h. Morgan
never could reply, because he knew
they were true. Here is ap extract
from Mr.. Monnot's speech, which is
good reading for laboring men just
now:
"One of McKinley's chief hackers is
T. r. Morgan, Sr., of Alliance. He is
the man who run free excursion to
Orrville last week. He is the man who
has been guilty in former campaigns
of forcing his men to vote. He has
almost driven them to the polls in the
past. Perhaps it is not generally known
that Mr.. Morgan is president of the
Coppee Co. He recently imported
about twenty-five Belgians to work on
his coke ovens in Perry county. The
question is, how did he get the twenty
five Belgians in. He had some cores
pondence with the treasury department
in regard to this matter. In a speech
at Marlboro Morgan said Mckinley
was the best man in the country, and
next to him came Andrew Carnegie,
the man who makes profit of 5000 a
day out of protection"
Now this same labor crusher, and i'm
porter of European paupers, is mas
querading as the friend of the laboring
man. All those laboring men who be-
lieve in Carnegie's methods and admire
the Pinkertons should vote for Morgan.

FIGURES from 1000 Iowa farmers
show that they raised their corn crop
of 1890 at dead loss of sixty-seven
cents an acre. The profits of Csrnegie's
protected works in Pennsylvania the
same year were in the neighborhood of
100000. And if the Mckinley tariff
keeps wheat at 20 cents bushel, there
is not wheat farm in Stark county
that will be worth over $25 per acre.

was due from the Protection policy, as
inaugurated by the Mckinley bill. AS
the Mckinley bill did not pass until
1890, these statistics will only catch
the suckers.

All the old soldiers were turned down
in this district and a labor crusher
named Morgan, with nothing but his
sudden wealth to recommend him, was
nominated for Congress on the Re-
publican district. In the 14th district,
also two first class soldiers were turned
down, and a astay-at.home patriot named
johnson was nominated by the Re-
publicans for Congress. In the Cuya-

soldier candidates were knocked out in
the most cold blooded and merciless
manner, and millionaire Chewing Gum
White was nominated for Congress
by the Republicans. In the Springfield
district, that veteran soldier
Gen. J. Warren Keilfer was knocked
