WHERE MK1NLEY SEEKS REPosE.

Major Mckinley for the last ten days
has been living in anticipation that the
delegations of admiring constituents
might relax their demands upon him
sufficiently to permit him to leave his
home and go twenty miles north to
quaint old fashioned bit of transplanted
Germany, and secure few days re.i on
the broad porches of its gable rooted
hotel, on the shady stretches of the plac-
i'd Tuscarawas or among the half de-
serted walks of the red tiled village.
Zoar, though within three hours
carriage drive from Canton is by no
menas unknown to theRepublican candi-
date, and since the opening of his cam
palgn he has entirely opposed any plan
to call him away from his home; has
been anxious to escape even the hourly
demands upon his time and attention
there and seek a few days respite in
this almost deserted village.
This, it is hoped may yet be arranged
the coming week, and if so almost any
morning may find the Republican candi-
date rolling along the smooth roadway
that follows the Tuscarawas river in its
torturous course from Canton to Zoar y
more complete and picturesque retreat
could scarcely be devised than this old
fashioned Bavarian like settlement nest
nng among the TuscaraNas county hills.
Ihe ride itself over the macadamized
ana hard clay roads, stretching from
village to village, would well repay the
canoidate's exertion in leaving homo.
ana the town itself is a veritable asylum
for overworked nerves and tired brains.

TAXES


The total government taxes. federal
state. county and municipal. in 1890 were
81, ,039 4S2, 013. Federal taxes were s461,-
1S46S0: state taxes were. $57S, ,328, ,33S.
OF these state taxes the states and ter
ritory taxes We're S116, ,157 $40; counties,
S133. .525, ,493; municipalities and schools,
1929 ,635, 200. These taxes are expressed
in money; they,of course, really were the
produce of mental, manual or machine
labor. This is compulsory labor to sup
port the state. If we assume that the
average annual earnings of each person
engaged in gainful pursuits is $500 (At-
kinson), then it would require $1,734. .121
persons to constantly work for one year
to pay the taxes or 520,236,300 days
work would be required. Every dollar
spent by the government requires half
days work by some one. Each head of
a family's share is twenty days forced
labor. (From David "A. Wells Princi
pies of Taxation.) Think of this bounty
given, protectionist wasters of the pub
lie funds and all those who divert public
taxes from strictly necessary and strict
ly public use.

THE FREE ROADS FIGHT IN KEN
TUCKY

There is much excitement in Law
renceburg, KY, over the outrages COM
mitted early Tuesday morning by the
mob which chopped down the toll gates.
Out of twenty-fouf gates in the county
fifteen were destroyed. Every keeper
was warned not to collect further toll,
and at McMichaelS, on the Harrodsburg
road, and at Mrs. Tipton's, near Cam
den, uglier threats were made. hIc-
Michael was told that he would be
hanged if he attempted to collect toll,
while Mrs. Upton was Informed that her
house would be burned if the order of the
discontinuance was not obeyed. The MOB
grew more disorderly as the night
wore Oh, ana the men engaged in much
abuse. An organized effort will be made
TO capture the perpetrators, but it is
feared the officers cannot identify them.
Sheriff oliver stands ready upon the
sllShtest cleW, to form a posse and to

Everybody is aroused. Col. Thos. II.
Shdnks, the patriarch of the Kentucky
legislature, owned pixies upon which

There are some people in this world
who think that lie well told and well
adhered to is as good as the truth.
Strange to say, the above is an ed
itorial utterance of the Times. The ed
itor of the Times as he penned these
lines must surely have had a mirror
opposite to him, or else have been in
dulging in an appropriately introspect-
i've reverie. Throughout this cam
paign the Times has never missed an
opportunity of maintaining it's miser-
able reputation as colossal liar, grasp
ing at any passing canard with mon
strous avidity, and shamelessly re-
peating its bald assertions even after
their falsity has been irrefutably dem
onstrated. If the Times will only re-
gard its mirror more assiduously there
is still some hope for it, and it may pos
sibly retrieve it's immense loss in cir
cuiation.

They probably come as near being cor
rect as most of the wild boastings and
reckless assertions of gold-bug commit
tee men generally. But be that as it may,
it is easy for intelligent minds to form
correct opinions as to the real purpose
of the Assistant Republican side-show.
Bynum in the statements just quoted
has given himself and his fellow boilers
dead away. A few days ago The Herald
intimated that the Palmer Buckner
supporters, instead of being prompted
by love of Democratic principles, were
simply playing into the hands of Hanna
Mckinley, Bynum's latest output of en-
thusiasm fully confirms our suspicion
and justifies our insinuation. 1t is not
Palmer for whom they are working and
lying; it is Mckinley. In this year CT
grace no one can doubt the right of q
Democrat to stultify himself by sup
porting the Republican ticket, but he
ought to do 1t in a direct, manly way and
not under a disguise. Republicans who
cannot conscientiously support the gold
standard bearer of their party-and they
number tens of thousands-do not put
up third candidate as a figure head
and then gloat over the prospect of Bry-
ans election. They come out boldly and
join the ranks of the grand army of free
silver advocates, whose leader ami
champion is the invincible William ]
Bryan. In doing so they pursue the
only consistent, manly course open TO
them, and thereby maintain their self
respect.
1t seems strange that any intelligent
man who thinks he is 6, Democrat can
support Mckinley. Genuine Democracy
is as far away from the ethics of Nc
kinleyism and his Hanna-made plat
form as heaven is remote from that
place which Bob Ingersoll declares has
no existence. 1t might be supposed that
the wide gulf between protectionism and
true Democracy, if there were no other
differences would deter every man
protesting to be a Democrat from
doing anything that would aid Hanna
Mckinley. But it seems that so far as
politicians of the Palmer Buckner-By-
mum stripe are concerned the trifiing
matter of protection robbery is not an
obstacle in the way.
Since the utterance of the National
Democratic" chairman expressive of his
happiness over the reported "all-one-
way prospects of McKinleyism there IS
left no room for doubt as to the real
design and desire of the Bynum crowd.

SHALL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
SWALLOW THE BETTER CITY
GOVERNMENT LEAGUE?

Editor Herald: The Better City Gov
ernment league orders its members to
protest in vigorous terms against the
application of any pledge at the pri-
maries of any party which may hold
them in honor bound to support the NOM
inees of that party's convention before
they can know who they are to be-"
The Times of Sunday, after endorsing
the action of the league, says: The
pledge to be submitted to Re-
publican voters at the coming
primaries should be, not VIII
publican city convention? but viii you
vote the Republican ticket at the COM
irg elction.'"
Now will some one show US the diff
ference between voting for the nomi-
nees of the Republican party AMI
voting the Republican ticket?" Do not
the nominees Of the Republican party
make the Republican ticket?"
The Times in its issue of Monday, the
oSth inst, in pursuing the same subject,
shows it's liberality to the Better City
Government league as follows: with
the simple and sufficient test, Will you
vote the Republican ticket at the COM
ing election" the greatest individual
liberty can be given, not only to life long
Republicans, but to the recalcitrant
Democrats. AID there are many such,
who cannot stand the defiance of nation
al authority tht is to be found in the res
olutions of the Chicago convention"
No man who makes the guleless little
pledge that he will vote the Repub-
lican ticket at the coming election can
ask for or accept nomination from
the Better City Government league.
Mind you, as the Better City Govern
inent league will not make its romina-
tions till the Republican and Democrat
ic nominations have been made how can
it expect to get the votes of any of those
who have pledged themselves before
hand that they would support the Re
lublican ticket? If the league is simply
en- annex to the Republican or Demo-
cratic parties, then its nominees will be
either Republicans or Democrats ac-
cording to the numerical strength of the
two parties belonging to the league The
Times has capacious mouth and is
ready to swallow the Better City Gov
ernment league. LOOK OUT.

coal Combines beef trusts and other
conspiracies for the plunder of the peo-
pie?
would it's triumph make our attor-
ney- generals do their sworn duty in the
suppression of these conspiracies?
In brief, would a victory for free coin
age relieve the people in any degree of
those wrongs and expressions that really
afiiict them?"
To these questions a correspondent
makes the following pertinent answer:
IL you will substitute the words ian
election of Bryan" for those of free
coinage 1 fancy that the question is
fully to be answered in the Affirmative.
You seem to believe-perhaps along
with Candidate Bryan himself-that
free silver is the paramount issue. But
the campaign has already outgrown
that feature. The people are them
selves conducting this canvass, ire
spective OF old party leaders, and they
wish Bryan elected as the only means
of preventing the Cleveland administra-
ton from being carried over into g Nc
kinley one. President Bryan, the peo-
pie say, would surely appoint an attor-
ney general who would, with all the
powers of the department of justice,
break up the conspiracies which you
specify. McKinley's party would be-
come, think the people, successive con-
spiracy against labor and poverty.
The people are not making war
against wealth per SCI only against its
misuse in the direction that you indi-
cate.
But the people, especially In this city
of miSuSed wealth. are willing to vote
for Bryan, not for free silver or against
gold slavery, but primarily to destroy
the misuse of wealth which is clearly
typified by the McKinleyites, the Mug
wump Hannaites and the Madeline Pol
lard party of Indianapolis creation.
Send your reporters among working
men and in rural districts and you VIII
find-as !, veteran politician, have

the people merely see in his election
possible. the only possible, means of
emancipation from the slavery of
wealth. misusers; much as the people of
1860 saw in the election of Lincoln
means of relief from the social, COM
mercial and political blight of the chains
of negro slavery.
Free silver has become name now
only-an incidental detail. The people
are not botnering about the theories of
finance. They are wanting to beat the
Mckinley party as allied to bond and
gold spectators and supported by the
aggrandized conspiracies which you
cleverly enumerate, and they consider
that the only method is to elect young
intrepid, courageous president. who will
support what he very properly calls the
common people in their war against the
misuse of wealth by the Republican
party which you have for years past
championed. Please emphasize the
word misuse Bryan has become

THE NEW MAIL BAG CLASPS

The United States government has Or
dered 100000 ingenious new mailing
clasps. A tiny governor, or movable
catch, travels up the edges of the two
surfaces to be united, clamping, as it
goes the fine steel chains which have
been sewed to these surfaces These
chains, which, with the governor, con-
stitute the whole device, are, by this
swift upward motion, so clutched to-
gether all the way up as to be insep-

separates them. So that the mailbag

Ihe tree is about eighteen feet long and
