During the recent tariff discussion much
has been said about 1" rawmateriaI, and the
Plain Dealer and other republican journals
have indulged in an immense amount of dis
gushing sophistry, fit only for fools, frauds,
charlatans and demagogs. Iron ore, they
say, is raw material for the manufacture of
pig iron. Pig iron is raw material for the
manufacture of bar iron. Bar iron is raw
material for the manufacture of nails, &c.
If that is SO, then nail is raw material, be-
cause it is necessary in the manufacture of
many articles. So is a spool of thread raw
material, for it is necessary in the manufac-
ture of a bonnet or dress. And some have
gone so far as to argue that all material is
raw, that is, the cloth for dress is raw ma
terial, for it has to be combined with the
thread to make the manufactured article.
Such rot is worthy of weak minds, and such
only can be influenced by such silly logic.
What Legislators and statesmen understand
by "raw material'' is the most crude state in
which anything becomes an article of COM
merce. Iron ore is raw material, for that is
the most crude state of iron. Therefore pig
iron is not raw material. The duty of Dem
ocrats at this time especially, is imperative
1t is to stand up firmly and endorse and vim

ROOTSTOWN.

AUG, 28.-Rootstown is good place to live
in, and there are great many good people
here, but it is supposed that they are not all
good nor are all who go to church very worthy
members, for one night last week some one
went into the Congregational Church and ab-
stracted the several boxes belonging to the Sum
day School classes, with the contents, amounting
to about eight dollars. 1t was evidently some
one who knew all about it, though the only clew
is that the pieces of some of the boxes were
found in the road. where they were probably
dropped when the contents were taken out.

AS a preventive of business depression and
hard times, it is very plain that high protective
tariff is complete failure. Under the Morrell
protective war tariff, the great panic of 1867
began and lasted for five years, and there was
the most complete stagnation in business ever
known in the United States. In 1877 it was
| accompanied by the greatest strikes ever known
in the United States. There was another gen
eral industrial disturbance following closely af.
ter the increase of the tariff in 1883, and then
came the Mckinley bill late in 1860, followed
by the great financial and industrial collapse of
| 1898, the effects of which still visible, and
likely to remain SO for long time yet. All of
| these things have occurred under the highest
kind of protection, and it ought to teach every
observing man that high tariff is no protection
against hard times.
