THE mails now bear to us daily
pamphlets, circulars, appeals, marked
newspapers, all discussing the silver
question pro and con. The latest to
hand is a pamphlet by Ex-Governor
william p. st. John, of Kansas, in
which the following paragraph occurs;
without interest in silver or silver
mines, with genuine abhorrance of "dis,
honest dollars" and with every care to
earn repute for advocating only what
shall be demonstrated strictly sound
finance" earnestly commend the en-
actment of the measure now awaiting
action in the House of Representative
and recently mis-termed "Free Silver.
1t seems conservative to call a hal
upon senseless instigations to publi'
alarm and panic at the approach OF leg
islation that ought not to be delayed"

THAT juvenile blind bat protectionist,
the Massillon Independent, exults in
double leads recently that large manu-
featuring concern of London, England,
will, because of the Mckinley bill,move
its plant and men TO this country. This
is consistency. win the blindly parti-
san Independent please explain what
the difference is between "pauper labor"
imported and that remaining in Eng
land? The Inconsistency of the thing
is lamentable. - Mansfield Shield.

LABoR CUPs IN MARCH.

There are good many laboripg men
in Canton, who have been voting for
the Republican party on the theory
that Protection raises wages. OF course
this is not true, on the contrary the
reverse is true, according to the record.
Among the labor cuts in this March
we note the following, all under the
much lauded Mckinley tariff. In the
pottery works of Trenton wages have
been cut down 22 per cent. At the Otis
Iron and Steel Works, at Cleveland,
wages have been reduced 30 per cent.
At the iron works at Allentown there
has been reduction of 10 per cent.
Among the steel. workers at Chat
tan0Oga there has been reduction of
10 per cent. AT the Steelton, Beth
lehem and Pottstown iron works there
mas been q similar reduction. Among
the ribbon-weavers of Patterson wages
have been cut down 10 per cent.
Among the spinsters of Lowell wages
have been largely reduced, and among
the Providence weavers a long strike
was the only thing that prevented a
large reduction in their income.
The dispatches OF March 7 announced
that three rolling mills in Lebanon, Pa.
had given notice of a reduction of 121b
per cent, in wages to go into effect
March 81.
The next day it was announced that
in the Vesuvius Mills, Sharpsburg, Pa,
the price of pudding had been reduced
lfty cents ton, the workmen in Leg
gait & Sons axle works had refused to
accept reductions ran ging all the way
from Is to 30 per cent, and the Mount
Hope Iroa Company, Fall River, Mass.
nail mauufurers, had announced that
heavy reduction of wages would be
made April IA, or else the works would
shut down May |.
March 8 the papers stated that
'sswelve m.re furnaces in Birmingham,
Ala, had reduced wages 10 per cent.
March 10 several large iron concerns
N Birdsboro, Pa, reduced wages from 8
10 ~ per cent.
Protection talk is cheap, and pro-
lection promises are never performed.
The above is the record. Laboring

IT is generally conceded that Mr.
Trump should resign. Every ward is
entitled to elect citizen of the ward

provides Mr.. Trump is no longer a

Mayor should issue proclamation and

citizens and tax payers of that ward TO
be represented. Thomas Turner msy

BIG SUIT AGAINST THE VALLEY,
A Brakeman Wants sao, 900 for the Loss
Of Leg.

A suit for $4,000 was begun yesterday In
the court Of common pleas by George H.
Rennie against the Valley railroad COM
pany. Rennie tells that on Nov. To- 1891,
he was a brakeman on freight train
which at 4 o'clock in the afternoon was
running between the Ohio canal and
Peninsula station. Rennie was ordered
by the conductor TO nlight from the train
and turn a switch so that the train could
be sidc.tracked. The switch was near a
deep ditch and there was no place on
which Rennie could walk to IL except on
the track or roadbed or on the edge of the
ties. He obeyed the order and did pro-
ceed along in front of the freight train
which was still moving, running partly on
the ties and partly on the track. Pres
emily he slipped and fell, and the train
which, he ayers, was running at an i'm
rapid rate of speed, ran over and
crushed his right leg, which had to be am
putated.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

If Mckinley could secure a solid
delegation from Ohio that would
stand by him, he would make Harrison
more trouble than any other can
didate. But with Foraker at the head
of the Ohio delegation there would be
serious element of uncertainty in the
situationju just about the time the crisis
arrives. Mckinley knows this: hence
he is keeping quiet and waiting for

tee DR.. Kerr's resolution was much more
flattering to congress. 1t read: This
council declares its admiration of the re-
cent action of the congress of the United
States in favor of the closing of the gates of
the Columbian exposition on the Lords
Day; expresses the ardent hope that there
shall be no reversal of this action, and as
the council, holding a consensus, the re-
formed church especially rejoices in the de-
cision. 1t illustrates the great scriptural
doctrine of the binding obligation of the
Lords Day on all peoples, and prepares the
way for other action and reforms which
would recognize the supremacy of the Lord
Jesus Christ over all nations, and promote
the civil and religious prosperity of all
communities
