and the City forty-fve huudredths, but
the Township Trustees, having sur
plus in the poor fund reduced their
levy twenty-five hundredths of a mill,
SO that the total levy for 1895 will be
.02s.
The most remarkable raise in the
present slevy is made by the School
Board Last year they raised one-half
of mill, their levy for all purposes
being .OO6s. This year it is .0O7s. The
increased levy is understood to be to
meet increased appropriations for run
ming expenses. There are many de-
mands which would have justified the
Council in increasing the City levy still
more, but the Committee stuck to abso-
Lutte necessities. The Board of Health
ought to have had levy of at least
$500, and the Board of Park Commits
sioners ought to have $500 more, but
both of these are left out Il
1t is hard to run city of 10000 in
habitants on basis of a city of 5000
people, but that is what we are trying
to do. Still the rate of .o2S is not
above the average for cities of this
class throughout the State.

GOVERNOR Bushnell has very wisely
expressed himself as being in favor of
selling the Ohio canals, and doing
away with them entirely. This would
be move that we believe would give
the citizens of Ohio great deal of sat
isfaction, as it would save a big amount
of money to the State. 1t would leave
the State Board of Public Works en-
tirely out of job.
Not only would there be great saw
ing to the people at large, but the
State would realize a very tidy sum
from the sale of the lands.

CITY AFFAIRS.

1t is always source of congratula-
er cities to see how fayorably our city
compares with the best governed cities
in the country; electric street lights,
water works, paved streets, sewers, fire
department, city auditorium, rapid
growth, schools, and character of pop
ulation-all sources of pride and salts
faction. Emerson says that one evil
dence of great author is that the
reader has to struggle up to an under
standing of him. So it seems to me of
city. One evidence of the worth and
character of its people is that a strang-
er coming in has to make considera BILE
of an effort or struggle to reach the
high plane of thought, intelligence and
action on which the city is moving.
Does this apply to Marietta? We think
it does, and in greater degree than
any city we can name.
DRAW BACKS.
1t would be strange if we did not
have hindrances and unwslcome feat
nres in the city's progress. One draw
back is the insufficient revenues to do
things which seem very desirable, and
some of them necessary. This is owing
to the low real estate appraisement
made in 1890, which cannot be changed
for ten years, or not until 1900. There
are one hundred pieces of real estate in
this city not appraised at one-half their
cash value, and many more at not one
fourth their value. This necessitates
high rate of taxation, whereas, if the
real estate was listed at anything like
its market value, the tax rate would be
reduced nearly one-half, or safe to say
one-third at least Another draw back
is the tendency to make big stakes out
of rents and real estate rather than let
them go at living prices and thus en-
courage new people to not only come
here but remain here.
NEW TAX LEVY.
The Finance committee of Council
have just completed their labors. They
were charged not to raise the rate over
last year, which was .265. They have
given every department of city expend'
itures careful attention. They have
had the assistance OF the City Clerk,
the Mayor and County Auditor, and
we must respect their conclusions as
the best solution possible, under the
circumstances The State increased
nine hundredths and the County TWEEN
ty-one hundredths of a mill. The
Board OF Education increased one mill,

the amount Of capital it will take
to carry out the undertaking. The
idea of procuring laborers has al
WAYS been a secondary considera-
ton, for with plenty of capital. labor
has always been quick to seek the
capital and employ itself While both
labor and capital are Necessary to
the production of wealth, from
modern standpoint, tits the amount
and generosity of capital employed
that determines the prosperity Of
the laboring man, and when capital
receives a blow labor must suffer.
There is no such thing possible,
as Mr. Bryan suggests, Of beginning
at the other end to improve our
condition that is, the condition of
the laborer and farmer, drst. We
must begin with the business man
the capital.
Thus, while according to the
news papers Mr. Bryan's labor arg
uments have been received with
great enthusiasm by his audiences,
the fact still remains to the thought
full man that the employment Of
labor depends upon the prosperity
of capital and when conditions are
such that capital can be assured of
profitable and safe investment,
then will start the wheels Of our
great factories. employing thousands
of laborers. With the employment
of idle labor comes the increased
demand for food and clothing, and
this creates a demand and market
for the products Of the farm The
question for the voter to decide is
what will bring about these condi-
tons, VIII it be to elect Mr., Bry-
an with his great assortment Of
words and his free trade and popu-
listic theories, or will it be TO elect
that matchless statesman Major
Mckinley, the great exponent Of
protection to American industry,
and the defender of pure republi-
canism?
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1896-09-12
LABOR AND CAPITAL.

One Of Bryan's stock arguments
which he addresses to farmers and
laboring men is a discussion of the
labor and capital question, with the
purpose Of dissatisfying
labor and arraying it against cap
ital.
In his arguments dealing with
the dignity of labor and its prosti-
tuition at the hands Of capital, he
says: "Our enemies, 1--WE suppose he
refers to successful men, } tell
us that upon the success Of the
business man depends the success
of the Iaborer and the farmer" He
adds, this statement is fooIishness:
exactly the reverse is the law, that
upon the prosperity Of the farmer
and laboring man depends the sue
cess Of every body else, and wealth
can not be exchanged until it is
created, and the farmer and laborer
are the producers Of all wealth. ;"
The business man, he says, is but
the ex changer Of wealth, and while
they contend that labor is depend
ent on capital, the opposite pre-
walls and labor is prior and indie
pendent of capital,-that capital IS
only the fruit Of labor, and never
would have existed had not labor
first existed.
From remote standpoint these
statements may be accepted as eco
nomic laws, for the power to labor
was mans first inheritence, but
who can conceive Of condition so
primitive that in the production
ofwealth capital was not ea ployed?
The only condition by which
man satisfied his wants without the
aid Of capital was in the primeval
state when man plucked his food
from trees, or with his fingers dug
roots from the ground, or like a
beast bounced upon his prey. If
we trace him further we will find
him employing capital in the rude
tools and weapons he uses in the
procuring Of his necessities.
All great business enterprises
have been, and are, calculated on

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.


Four years ago Mr.. Bryan howled
himself hoarse in extoiling free
trade and denouncing protection.
He told his auditors time and
again that protection was 'Iegaljzed
robbery" and that it was impover-
ishing the masses to enrich the
classes; that there was but one per-
feet system Of government to pro-
mote an equal distribution of
wealth, and that was free trade
1t is strange now that he refuses
to touch. however lightly. upon the
tariff question, but ignores entirely
this issue in all his speeches. How
hard he and Altgeld have worked
and talked to throw the people off
this main issue, Cabling about free
silver. and arraying sections and
people against each other How
ever, to the working man, the man
ufacturer and the farmer protection
is the real issue, and in studying
that question they are not inHu-
enced by such terms and epithets
as grinding monopolies, " Wall
street money sharks, suffering
masses and favored classes" etc,
but on the contrary they have their
own experiences under years Of pro
lection, together with the figures of
the government statistics upon
which to base their calculations.
President Harrison, in hismessage
to congress testifying to the bene-
fits Of protection, and particularly
to the Mckinley law, said in 1891:
Rarely, if ever before, in the his
tory Of our country has there been
a time when the proceeds of a days
work, or the product Of one farmed
acre, would purchase so large an
amount Of those things that enter
into the living Of the masses Of the
people" This was one year after
the enactment of the Mckinley
law. In his message Of 1892 Pres
ident Harrison said "a comparison
ofthe existingconditions with those
Of the most favored periods in the
history of the country Will, | be
lieye, show that so high a degree Of
prosperity and SO general a dif'us-
ion Of the comforts Of lite was new
er before enjoyed by our people"
In the same message the presi-
dent proceeded to show that our
total wealth has increased from
%16159,G16,OG8 in 1860 to &62,6I0-
100000 in 1890. Protection in
thirty years had nearly quadrupled
the wealth Of the nation. In ten
years from 1880 to 1890 the capital
invested in manufacturing had in
creased from 1922, 839,67 to
$4,000, 735,604; the number of en-
