SOME HISTORY AND srATIsrIcs-soTH
VITAL

The war tariff of 1861 was levied to
carry on the most gigantic war of mod
ern times. No one claimed at the time
1t was levied that IL had in it anything
but the most onerous burdens. 1t was
the promise of its authors, at the time
of the enactment, that as soon as the
war was ended the burden would be
lifted from the shoulders of the people
This war tariff imposed duties aver
aging 81 per cent.
1t was succeeded in 1854 by tariff
averaging az per ceat.
In 1883 President Arthor's tariff
commission, composed of nine Protec.
tionists, recommended the taking off of
20 to % per cent of the AZ per cent,
which would have left tariff duties
ranging from 90 to 27 per cent.
But the apostles of greed and rapine
by law obtained control of the Repub-
lican party, and instead of reduction
the Mckinley bill increased the burden
to 40 per cent.
The Wilson bill leaves the duties
averaging 30 per cent, and gives
manufacturers the benefit of a large
free raw material list.
Intelligent manufacturers, outside of
the trusts, consider the Wilson bill q
just measure, just to the great mass Of
producers and consumers; hence they
are giving it their approval

WE have already mentioned some OF
the more valuable contents of the
December North American Review
especially the discussion of the
Hawaiian controversy by Congressman
Springer. Ex-Minister John L. Stevens,
of Maine, also contributes an interest
ing article, in which he strongly favors
annexation. Mr.. Stevens decorates
his essay with the flowers of
rhetoric and lifts the American
eagle over the islands to a
very dizzy altitude. Eugene Tyler
Chamberlain also discusses the Ha-
waiian question. Gov. Russell of Mass,
contributes the leading article on the
Causes of the Present Business Depres.

WE regret that the Massillon Inde-
pendent is not willing to unite with us
in an effort to do justice to Mr.. Morgan,
by supporting him for Congress. Still,
If Mr. Morgan concludes to ask for a
vindication, we think he will get it. AS
the district now composed, no candi-
date should oe required to spend over
$500 in the canvass for election. This
would give each county committee 800
for circulars and hand bills and allow
the candidate $500 for personal ex-
penses. This is more money than
either Gen. Washington or Gen. Grant
paid out to be elected President of the
United States.

The company is understood to be

THE editor of the Alliance Review
speaks of the Chattanooga Times as
the Confederate Democratic Times
The editor of the Times is an Ohio bred
man who served with distinction In the
Union army, in an Ohio fighting regi
ment, and who went into the army as
Republican. This is specimen of the
kind of misfit misinformation the AL
lance Review is giving us right along
The Review editor evidently thought
the editor of the Chattanooga Times
was a Confederate, because he printed
the following editorial on Senators
Voorhees, and Turpie of Indiana, and
the Dependent pension bill:
"Voorhees, Turpie, and all the rest of
the demagogues, who seek political ad-
vantage through squandering the peo-
pies revenues in pension appropria'
tions, know that the pauper pension
bill was conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity. They know it was,
and is, and ever will be, a simple whole.

these two especially-cared nothing for

less it might be to battle him by their

fought for. They care nothing for him
now except as they can use him"

In the debate in the Senate vesterd

IN the debate in the Senate yesterday
confabulation took place between
Senator Hill, of New York, and Sena,
tor Cullom, of Illinois. Hill asked
Cullom if he thought the elections in
November last were Influenced by the
tariff. To this Cullon answered no;
and then proceeded to qualify his
denial, with some observations on the
fear of industrial disturbance. In other
words Cullen seemed to think, and
practically so admits, that the McKin-
ley tariff was not endorsed, but the
people went over to the Republican
party, fearing they might get something
worse than the Mckinley bill. This di-
agnosis of the situation by a prominent
Republican United States Senator, who
has both eyes on the White House, is
quite unique and highly significant.

THE fact that Capt. Jake G Donald
son, private secretary of Senator Sher-

Of the Ohio House is exciting comment
all over Ohio. Griffin is great For
aker man, and voted for Foraker for
Senator, and Coy. Mckinley, who
helped sherman in his election against
Foraker, is working against Griffin.
The fact that Donaldson is against
McKinley's man, is held to mean that

FINANCIAL PROJECTS IN THIS CON.
GRESS,

While money Is abundant in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, ant
the great money centers there is no
abundant money for business purposes
or for speculative investments ant
projects. The money seems to b,
congealed in the money centers. Their,
is feeling in Washington, among
nearly all the members of Congress
from the West and the South, that thii
session should not pass without some
adequate legislation to give the country
an increase In the volume of current
money-the money of circulation.
The congressional hopper is full Of
bills, to provide for the growing needs
of a rapidly growing country, but very
few of these measures ever get back to
the House, after going through the
committee of Banking and Currency,
to which they are usually referred,
Congressman Harter has a bill to
provide for state banking, under
government supervision, that seems to
meet high favor among; business men,
who have studied the various banking
systems. Mr.. Harter is a successful
business man of very large experience,
and his experience has eliminated in
career of remarkable success, running
quarter of century. Hence, it is no
reflection upon other Congressman of
more experience III politics and legis-
lation, to say that Mr.. Harter probably
knows as much about the busi-
nes needs of this country as any
man in either house of Congress. Mr..
Harter's plan is to allow banks to be
established to issue currency on State
bonds, and other approved bonds. We
should like to see favorable report by
the Banking and Currency committee
on M, Harter's bill. This would give
Mr.. Harter, and other friends of this
measure, a chance to explain and de-
fend the wisdom of his measure on
the floor of Congress.

A BROAD DEFINITION OF ANARCHY,
From the Toledo Daily News, CLabor Organ. }

From the Toledo Daily News, (Labor organ.)
We have enough of anarchy.
Anarchy is a pretty broad term. Law.
lessness in all its forms may be CLASH
fed under the term anarchy. Those
who SECURE unjust ends under legal
forms and technicalities, and thus de-
priVe the people of their natural rights
are anarchists in the strict sense. The
man who secures the enactment of un-
just laws, and who prevents the enact
ment and the enforcement of Just laws,
by corruption and debauchery of voters,
legislatures or courts, is as much an
anarchist as is the bomb thrower.

THE repeal of the state bank tax
making state and municipal securities
available for deposit to secure circula-
tion, will result in more carefully issued
and safer classes of such securities, to
meet the provisions of the U. S. laws to
govern their issue. They will then be
as valuable as government bonds, to a
certain extent, and there will be no
"wild cat" about the circulation based
on their security.-Akron Democrat.
