The illegal and nonsensical retroactive
requirement of the Dingley bill has been
dropped by the Republicans of the
Senate, of which the Democratic Sena-
tors have been notified. Senator Vest,
of Missouri, had introduced resolution
denouncing the order Of Secretary Gage,
ssued in order to carry out the retroac.
tive clause as uncalled for, usurpation
and in violation of law. To avoid debate
on tlis resolution the Republican Sena-
tors doct0ring the Dingley bill have an
nounced that the retroactive clause will
be dropped Senator Vests resolution
would probably have been adopted. 1t
was side tracked the other day by the
scant majority of one, but probably
would have passed the Senate had there
been direct vote on its merits. This
retroactive humbug is knocked out and
Others will likely follow.

similar goods made here, thus giving
our home manufacturers an advantage.
And this is the arrangement that is to
restore prosperity, the only measure
proposed.
Now, let us look at this little. Taxes
are to be increased; the prices of goods
advanced. This much is certain, but the
ability of the people to buy more is not
apparent. The great arm of labor in
this country is that of agriculture, en-
ploying about half our people. And
this tariff plunder scheme is adverse,
not favorable to the farmer There is
no steadfast prosperity possible to this
country except that which is based upon
the productions of mother earth. But
here we see this party in power prepar.
ing to pile on more burdens instead of
trying to relieve by reducing taxation.
According to the preamble to the
constitution, one of the chief objects
was to Establish justice" but the aim
of the legislation proposed is injustice,
for justice means equal rights and equal
opportunities. 1t is not justice to enact
tariff robber laws by which classes, trusts
and combines may rob and plunder the
masses of the people. The rights of the
people are eternal, and no matter how
they are despoiled these rights remain.
Chartered and legal privileges have no
permanence. We see this by the con.
slant agitation and legislation going on
over tariffs, paper money banks and
other schemes to punder the public,

In one year under the Mckinley tariff
law l72,0OO,0O0 pounds of wool were i'm.
ported into the United States, and in
one year under the Wilson law were im-

rem arkable difference. Yet in the Senate
debate Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,

that the Republican party is pledged to

other raw materials produced in this

A general without an army is of little
or no account, and an ex-President
without a party is played out, unusual
and pitiable spectacle. Grover Cleve-
lands harangue at the Reform club ban
quet was a melancholy exhibition. Dis
carded and repudiated by the political
party that honored and elevated him
and which he most contemptibly and
basely betrayed and deserted, and not
even respected by those in power now
whose success he promoted and rejoiced
over, Mr.. Cleveland affords sorry
sight, which he evidently feels keenly if
we read rightly between the lines. His
case is solitary one in the history of

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES IN
WAYNE COUNTY.

WAL NE GOUNT1
To show how the gallant Democracy
of old Democratic Wayne prepare fol
business, we copy from the Wooster
Jacksonian the following account of the
proceedings of the executive and aux.
iliary committees at their meeting on
Saturday, the 18th inst. Let our Dem,
ocratic friends of Stark peruse and re-
ceive inspiration:
Pursuant to call the members of the
Wayne County Democratic Executive
and Auxiliary committees met in the
prosecutors Office Saturday afternoon.
Chairman A. D. Metz presided and +. X.
Geiselman performed his duties as seCre.
tary. The meeting was large and harme
onious. Many representative Democrats
from all over the county were present
With but little discussion the date of
the primaries for the nomination of can.
didates to be voted on at the fall election
was fixed on Saturday, June 5.
Several questions that came up wer
settled to the satisfaction of all.
A resolution was adopted specifying
that the names of the several candidates
for the Office of State Senator be sub
mitted to the people at the primaries,
and the candidate receiving plurality
of the votes be entitled to the support of
the county until there is no possibility
of his nomination, or said candidate re.
leases the delegates from further support.
And further that the delegates be select
ed from the different townships in Fro
portion to the vote cast at the last
November election, by the mass conven-
ton Of the Democratic party to be held
Immediately after the time of holding
the Democratic primaries, being the
Monday following the Democratic pri-
maries.
1t was also decided that for the pur-
pose of enabling the people to vote di-
rectly on the candidates for common
pleas judge, and to enable Wayne county
to present united vote in the judicial
the names of judicial can
didates shall be printed on the ticket,
and whoever receives plurality of the
popular vote of the people shall receive
The full vote of all the delegates
Of the county in the judicial conven-
ion.
Further on the matter of the common
pleas judgeship two resolutions were
passed as follows:
Resolved, That the candidate receiv-
ng plurality OF the votes for common
pleas judge be the candidate for long
erm.
Resolved, That the successful can
lidate for common pleas judge be al
owed to select his own delegates for the
Democratic judicial convention.
The last important decision of the
is explained in the following
esolution:
Resolved, That the Democratic party,
It the primary election to be held June
th, 1897, elect central committeeman
rom each regular election precinct, and
urther resol Jed, that said central com.
nitteemen so elected be authorized to
meet on the Monday following said Dem
cratic primary election and select an
xecutive committee tor the Democratic
'arty for Wayne county, and further
esolyed, that each said committeeman
ppoint his own auxiliary committee
nen from his own precinct.

The party now in power has promised
to restore prosperity to this suffering
country, and their remedial measure is a
tariff for protection. Their cry is for
more revenue and so taxation is TO be
increased to wiring more money from
the people now overburdened. This
protective tariff is to be so arranged and
adjusted as to prevent foreign manufac-
turers from competing SO freely with

THE GREEK.TURKEY WAR

1t is thought, will not be of long dura
ton. 1t does not look as if Greece
could hold out long, and, any way, the
powers will not allow it, and if neces.
sary, will soon intervene to stop the
strife.
The fact is both countries are too poor,
and besides the bonded indebtedness
of both Greece and Turkey is so great
that they generally run behind. Eng
lish, French, German and Russian bond
holders will be the great losers in case
of a protracted war, and the powers
always take care of such important rer.
sons. Modern warfare is very costly
affair, and this is a consideration that
may hasten interference.

ed statement, has an amount of money
not exceeding s56, ,OOO,O 900, and of this
only $4,000 900 is in specie, the remain.

like our greenbacks. The income OF the
kingdom is only about 100000. In
normal times expenditures and revenues
about balance each other, while the pub
lie debt is sl75, 100000.
Turkey has a stock OF money amount
ing to about a thousand millions, of
which one.half is gold. The debt is
enormous, listed at 1922 900 900, without
including the Russian war indemnity OF

interests demand. The revenues of Tur.
key amount to about S5,OOO,OOO, and
expenditures exceed this by Sl0, 900, 900.
In some respects Turkey is worse off
than Greece, as her income is mortgaged
to apply to her foreign indebtedness,
largely held in France and England.

while some will sell as low az a quarter a

fruit, is in fine condition, as are the Cali
fornia oranges. which have supplemented
the Florida fruit. Celery from the far
south seems rather plentiful, but it does
not begin to compare with the celery
grown about here. Garden vegetables, with
rev exceptions, are furnished by home
growers, the hothouses supplying cucum-
bers and tomatoes. The best Of the stock
of tomatoes sells at 20 cents a pound while
the Inferior ones sell es low as 10 cents for
a pint basket. Hothouse cucumbers are
more plentiful than they have been and are
selling at 10 cents each, while smaller
ones from the south sell at half this
amount. Norfolk Is furnishing the local
markets supply of asparagus or grass, as

rooms. both wild and cultivated, are plen-
tiful now, the latter selling at 60 cents
pound. The colored women who gather
them have been reaping a harvest during
the past three weeks because of their
abundance. These wild mushrooms sell at
from 70 10 20 cents a basket, much cheaper
than the cultivated ones, and many peo-
pie prefer them to the cultivated stock
Spinach, kale, lettuce, radishes, onions,

while the diamond-back terrapin Is no
longer in demand because the dinner sea-
son Is drawing to a close. Frogs are being
caught in the Potomac in this vicinity, In
addition to the large number being sent

at from 81 to s2 dozen. while the smaller
frogs sell at so cents a pound. Soft crabs
are not very large yet, although they ore

ers know. Most Of them are now being

Brook trout are being received from Ply
