The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1893-11-02

Do not fail to vote and see that your
Democratic neighbor does likewise
With a full vote Larry Neal will be the
next Governor of Ohio. There is no
reasonable doubt of this. The Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee send
the most cheering news from all parts
of the State. 1t will be hard for Nc
Kinley to hold up his majorities in the
Western Reserve counties, that he real
ized two years ago, and he is going to
lose heavily in Southern Ohio, especially
in Cincinnati. 1t is thought that Neal
will carry Hamilton county. In 1891
Mckinley carried Hamilton county
over Campbell by $3.50. Now if Neal
carries Hamilton county by 1000 even,
it will make gain of $3.50 In one
county. Two years ago Mckinley car
ried Lucas county (roledo) by 1886.
He will do we'll this year if he gets 500
in Lucas. We feel safe in asserting
that a full vote means Democratic
victory in Ohio this year. Let every
Democrat do his duty.

GOV, M'KINLsY AT HOME.

Gov. MCKINLEY was given an en-
thusiastic reception at both the Taber-
nacle and the Schaefer opera house on
Monday evening. The Governor Is In
good form and voice and does not look
day older than he did a month ago
Campaigning always agreed with him,
and the more speeches he makes the
better does his digestion wait on ap-
petite.
He pretends to think that he is going
to be elected Governor of Ohio next
week, by a large majority, but the
desperation with which he pursues bis
work indicates that the situation is full
of danger.
OF course the Governor said nothing
new. No one went away from his
meeting with one solitary new idea.
The Governor knows that his doctrine
has been twice repudiated by the Am
erican people by tremendous majorities,
ana he also knows that the best men in
bis own party helped to bury McKin-
leyism under popular majority of
over a million votes. He also knows
that the ablest and most sagacious
leaders In his own party are
profoundly and awfully convinced
that unless the Republican party modi.
lies its position on the tariff and makes
! rev departure, 1t will never elect an
other President of the United States.
Every intelligent student of current
political history knows that none of
the predictions made by Mckinley. at
the time his tariff was enacted, have
been verified. Every intelligent voter
knows that 1t has wrecked our foreign
trade, and instead of increasing exports
and decreasing imports, as Mckinley
predicted when his bill was pending in
Congress, it has had just the opposite
result.
1t has increased imports and decreas-
ed exports. Last year, 1892, two years
after the passage of the Mckinley act,
the imports of foreign goods
to this country were S113,-
$4,000 greater than for the
year before that act passed, and we
shipped S1S4, $4,000 less goods abroad
than the year before, and $152,000,000
less than in 1889. Summing up the sit
uation as developed by the Mckinley
act, it makes a difference Of about $685.
900, 800 against us. That is to say, last
year, through the operations of the Nc.
Kinley act, we were damaged in trade
and commerce to the enormous extent
of $29S,OOO,OOO. This of itself would
account for the panic and the stagna-
tion in trace and manufacture. Why
don't Mckinley explain why his
law has increased imports and decreas-
ed exports?
Because he can't. Let US vote to put
stop to this enormous system of rob-
berry.

VOTE for Capt. r. e. Williams of

PROTECTION AND INDUSTRY.

The Hon. John L. Monnot in his
speech at North Brook6eld last even
ing, discussed Protection from prac-
tical standpoint with telling effect. We
quote an extract: ...
"Gov. Mckinley in his Akron speech
said That whenever Protection has
been abandoned in this country, every
industry has been paralized' Well, let
us see. In 1916 Protection was aban-
doned by the passage of the Walker
tariff, and it lasted until 1861, and what
was the result.
"In 1850 there was 1888 establish
ments in the United States manufac-
turing agricultural implements. In
1860, after ten years of what Mckinley
calls the free trade period, there were
1882, an increase Of 4S pe3 cent, T. 1870
after nine years of Protection, the num-
ber was 2,076, an increase of per cent;
a per cent less than the increase un-
der low tariff. The hands employed in
these industries in 1850 was 1920, in
1860 there were 1880, an increase of
102 per cent under low tariff. In 1870
there were % ,249, an increase of 81 per
cent, or II per cent less than the in
crease in 1850; and in 1880 there were
1913 hands, an increase of 50 per cent
over 1870, or 80 per cent less than the
increase of 1860.
"The wages paid by these industries
in 1850 was S2,167S6S. In 1860 it was
S5,O7000O and increase of 1873 per cent,
in wages. In 1880 the increase in
wages over the decade of 1870, was only
% per cent. or 113 per cent. less than
the increase of 1860
"The product was increased in 1860
over that of 1850 of 1873 per cent
product in 1880 was increased 60 per
cent. over that of 1870 but 1t was 1873
per cent. less than the increase product
of 1860 over that of 1850.
Go and examine the census reports
of 1860, and you will find that the Q.
Aultman & Company; the Ball Com
pany; the Russels of Massilon in 1860
after paying for all their materials,
labor and expenses made a profit of 16l
per cent. on the total amount of the
capital invested, and our distinguished
Governor says nobody made any money
then. Are they making 161 per cent.
under protection today, or have they
made that much at any time during the
last twelve years?
"The Ball Company, which was at one
time the great! industry in Canton
went to the wall under protection, did
it not?
HAS the G. Aultman & Company
paid any dividends since the passage of
the Mckinley billp
"Why / recollect that about one year
or so ago land that was before Cleve-
and was elected) that Mr.. j. j. Clark
had a standing advertisement in the
Canton Repository, Offering block of
G. Aultman g. Company stock for salel
The advertisement stated that no divi.
dends had been paid for some time
and that everything went with the
stock,
"The workmen employed in the agri-
cultural industries In the United States
in 1860, received $3.50, for their years
labor. In 1880, after 20 years of protec-
tion, they received s340, $50 less than
they received in 1860"

WORK OF FIREBucs.

Milwaukee Suffers from Another Costly
Incendiary Fire-The Street Railway
ComPany's shops Destroyed by Nm In
nammable Bomb.
MILWAUKEE, Dec 29.-At 2 g. m. fire
was discovered in the northwest cor
ner of the Milwaukee Street Railway
Co.'S shops. which destroyed the en-
tire plant, entailing loss Of $500, 900.
Like the other terrible fires with
which Milwaukee has been visited
during the past few days, this one also
was apparently of incendiary origin.
The night Waterman who first dis
covered the fire says that it started in
the car nearest the doorway of the
building. His story is that he was
standing near the car when suddenly
he was startled by a loud explosion,
and in less than five minutes the whole
building was ablaze. On one side were
the stables. where, fully seventy-five
horses and mules were kept These
were all liberated and nearly all got
ten out. On the other side were the
car stables, where about 100 cars were
stored, and all these were burned. It
is in their loss the company will sus-
tain the greatest damage.
The machine shops were also de-
stroyed. These shops were built the
past season, and were fitted with very
fine machinery for the rebuilding and
repairing of cars.
At a. m. Manager Lynn of the street
railway company had arrived at the
scene of the fire. To a representa-
tive of the United Press, he said:
''Our loss is about $4,000 The
cars stored in the building were
valued at $3.50, 200, while the structure
itself is worth at least $50, 900. The
machinery is valued at fully s75, 900,
while the stores of the company were
kept in the building, and were worth
81, 900. The only insurance we car
ried was on the building, and think
amounts to about $40, OOO."
The loss will fall upon the Willard
syndicate, which owns the road
1t seems to be pretty well estab-
lished, at least from the watchman's
story, that the fire was caused by the
explosion ofa bomb, which was thrown
through the main doorway, and struck
trance. The bomb must have been
filled with something of highly in
hammable nature, because only few
seconds after the explosion the entire
building was in flames.
It is said that Chief Foley has re-
ceived an anonymous letter declaring
that the big incendiary fires of the last
few weeks are part of a concerted plan
to destroy the city, and that the fire.
bugs intend to lay the town in ashes
before July 1. Chief Foley denies re-
ceiving such letter, but officers are
known to be endeavoring to discover
the ider t1ty of the writer, who is be-
lieved to be a crank.
A special meeting of the city council
is to be held to take action toward stop
ping the reign of incendiarism, and it is
likely that special grand jury will be
called to investigate the matter.

A REAL DUEL.

The Rumof OF . Duel Between an Amer.
cen and . Russian Count Mt Monte
Carlo. In which tho American Killed
His Antagonist, Conf1rmed-Tho Identity
OF the Count Somewhat Clouded In Mys-
tory.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-The newspaper
which contained . story of the duel at
Monte Carlo between an American and
the Russian known as Count Romanoff
was the Vienna Tageblatt. and not the
Berlin Tageblatt- A dispatch says the
not from Brooklyn, as before stated, the
suggestion that he was from Brooklyn
having undoubtedly been caused by a
mistake as to his name. The American
and Romanof quarreled at the gam
bling tables, as before stated, Ro-
manof being the aggressor. The Ameri-
can sharply resented an insulting re-
mark on the part of the count,
and an immediate challenge was
the result The two men fought
in the grounds of private villa and
evidently meant a duel to the death.
The conditions were twenty-five PAGES
with liberty to advance to within two
PAGES of each other and to keep on
firing until one or the other should
fall.
Both American and Russian came
calmly to the mark, and at the word
they fred with deadly intent, at the
same time starting to advance.
The second bullet from Brocton's
pistol struck Romanof just above the
heart. The count reeled and fell, and
in few moments expired

identity of Count Peter Romanoff. His
name, real or assumed, has suggestion
of connection with the imperial family
of Russia A New York newspaper
suggests that Count Peter Romanoff
may or may not be the travelling incog-
nito of the Grand Duke Peter Nicola
witch, who is the second son of the late
Grand Duke Nicolavitch, who was the
cars uncle. The Grand Duke Peter
was born in St Petersburg in 1854; was
aide-de-camp to the emperor, captain
of the lanciers regiment of the Imper-
ial guard and married, in 1889. at Peter
hoh, the Princess Matilda, the oldest
daughter of the prince of Montenegro.
Further Particulars OF the Duel.
VIENNA, Dec. 29.-Further particu-
lars of the duel were received last even
ing. The quarrel out of which the duel
grew appears TO have been due to a
misunderstanding on the part of the
count 1t seems that Brocton had been
winning heavily at the gambling table,
and had tossed ''pourboire" to the
croupier. which the count supposed
was intended for him. The count ac-
cused Brocton of insulting him by the
act Brocton denied the charge, and
tried to explain that the coin was for
the croupier. The count repeating that
Brocton had insulted him, Brocton gave
him the lie direct, and a challenge fol-
lowed. The names of the seconds are
not known. Brocton left Nice Tues
day. He had been there a few weeks.
and had played at the tables almost
daily. He was quite popular.
