The removal of the sugar bounty
and the low price of cotton have
seriously injured the prosperity Of
the state for the time being; but as
all evils are believed to be ordered
for good, the permanent result will
be an advantage, in that it has
forced the farmers to diversity their
crops and has interrupted, if it has
not destroyed, the vicious system
of crop mortgages under which the
majority Of the agricultural popu-
lation of the state have been living
six months and sometimes an en-
tire year ahead OF their incomes.
There was an agreement among
the planters of the south. arranged
through the influence of the Cotton
Growers association, for a general
reduction of % per cent in the
acreage of that staple in order to
reduce next years crop and thereby
compel higher prices. But the re-
cent rise in cotton, which s purely
speculative, as most people think,
has caused some to violate this un-
derstanding and to plant more
cotton than has been their habit in
former years. 1t is believed how
ever, that the majority of the plan
ters will adhere 10 the agreement
and that the area will be somewhat
reduced-a sufficient amount to
make difference in the price next
year.
People look for higher prices for
everything. They do not believe )
cent cotton can possibly continue,
and they believe that the rise will
be permanent.

Talk of "a New Division.

The Pennsylvania company is negotiating
with the Wayne county officials for a strip of
land along their right of way at Millbrook. A
move is ON foot to make Millbrook division
for short run freight trains running between
Alliance and Crestline. On account of the
grade being almost level between Millbrook
and Crestline, engines can haul twice the num-
Der of cars between these two points that can
be hauled east from Millbrook over the WoOs-
ter hill. By splitting the trains at that place
it would save half the power and
greatly reduce the expenses. If the project is
pushed through and a success made of it, it is
probably only a question of time till the divis-
ion for short runs would be moved from ALI
ance to Conway, at which point trains are split
Conway on account of the grades. The dis
tance between Conway and Millbrook is about
the same as between Alliance and Crestline.

Interviewed at Cincinnati With Refer.
ence to Carlisle and the Money Ques-
tim
From the Clnclnnati EnauIrer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
John c. welty, ofCanton, well known at
torney and leading Democrat of Stark county,
who has been at the st. Nicholas for a couple
of days,s outspoken in his views as to the re-
quirements of a candidate for governor on the
Democratic ticket. Said he II think the de-
monttization Of silver one of the greatest mis-
takes that country can fall into" Arguing
in that premise, he declared that the doctrine
of free silver would have to be adhered to If
the Democracy hoped for success. New York,
he believed, was gone from the Democracy for
good, but If a free silver Democrat was named
for the Presidency he thought that it would be
easy to carry several Western States, and thus
offset the loss. MIR. Welty does not take
hopeful view of things for 1895, but thinks
that the following year will witness different
state of affairs One paradoxical thing stated
by Mr.. Welty is that II will be loss to the
Democracy so to speak, to elect a
Democratic governor and legislature,
Several times when the legislature has been
carried the party was weak in the following
election. The Stark county visitor is not inn
pressed with Secretary Carlisle's ststes-
manship on financial matters, declaring that
he is simply an experiment.

The Plan of Organization.

The Canton Driving Park Association is
now q fixed fact. An important meeting of
business men and local horse fanciers was held
in the law office of John G. Welty last evening,
and the plan and scope of the new organiza-
ton decided.
The new company is to lease the new track
and grounds of the Stark Co. Agricultural So.
ciety, at probably $i00 per year, no more,
probably less, and the society is to build new
house near the main entrance to the grounds,
which will be occupied by the custodian OF the
track and grounds, who will also keep a board
ing house and vitualing room for the accom-
modation of trainers and horsemen
The capital stock of the new company was
fixed at $40 900, to be divided into shares Of S25
each. Enough shares have already been taken
to secure the organization of the association.
Messrs. Welty, McCarty and Shertzer were
appointed SPECIAL committee to prepare a
charter for the new association, which will be
submitted to meeting to be called, probably
on Monday evening.
The general plan and purposes of new asso-
citation were very generally discussed. The
first business will be to secure lease of the
grounds, probably for years. Then charter
will be scared from the Secretary of State and
q stock book will be opened. When $1,000 Of
the stock is subscribed the company will elect
officers and proceed to do business. 1t is pro-
posed 10 give three trotting and pacing meet
ings this year, in addition to the regular fall
meeting Of the Agricultural Society. After
the election of "a competent secretary, steps
will be taken to put the association
into the early Spring Ohio Circuit, and as lib.
eral purses be offered as by any association
outside Of the Big Circuit.
The gentlemen in the new association are
all of ample means, and it is proposed to make
Canton one of the leading horse centers of
Ohio. The company will not be limited to
horse owners and business men of Canton, but
leading horsemeu of Massillon, Alliance, Canal
Fulton, Louisville, Navarro, Minerva and
other points will take stock in the association.
With the best half mile track in the state and
the best arranged and most convenient grounds
in the west, Canton will now go right TO the
'front.'
