Does Not Seem to Wear Ono OF Hanna's
Collars.
Last fall tho Hanna lash drove cx-
Congressman Benjamin H. Butter
worth into a reluctant support OF Can
didate Mckinley. OF this no one Is bet
ter informed than Hon. s. ]. Richie,
of Tallmadge. But this year the ex-
congressman is sending more solid
shot than ever into Hanna's ranks. In
an interview at New York Thursday
he said:
II do not need anyone's opi1ion on
the benefit Of trusts. Anyone who has
spent a season in Washington, as
have done this past year and for many
seasons before, cannot but look with
horror upon the growing influence OF
these mighty combinations and aggre-
cations of capital.
Everybody knows how congress was
simply held up by the trusts during
this last session. It came to be that
the representatives Of these combina-
tions merely said, You shall do this,
and you shall not do that and 1t was
done or not done, as they commanded
I do not know. whether, Lam differently
constituted from other men or no, but
my blood boils when I contemplate
the growing power Of corporate wealth

Says the New York Post (Rep.);
'Mr. Dingley's cry for haste with the
tariff, on the ground that every days
delay meant a loss to the treasury OF
100000. sounds hollow In the face Of
actual returns. In New York the re-
ceipts for the Dingley's first day were
1927 900. as against s361, 900 from Will
sons last day, clear loss of more than
$1,000 caused by the advent OF Ding
ley. Taking the figures for the country
as a whole. the comparison Is still
more instructive The deficit up to
date is $25 .o0o. 900. and would be much
larger but for the extraordinary re-
ceipts under the Wilson bin. When

Wise Council at the GlOuster Meeting
Prevails and all Is Peace Again.

Athens Gazette.
The miners Of mines No, 8 and No.
at Corning and Rendville came to
Glouster Monday morning headed
by brass band and State President
Farms of New Straitsville and Vice
President Haskins of Murray City.
A mass meeting was held here in
which the miners of the Sunday
Creek Valley participated. Address
es were made by Farms and Haskins
on the local situa tion that was con-
fronting the miners of and B.
Farms also reviewed the past strike
and the causes that led up to it. 1t
seems as if the operators of mines 8
and 3 failed to pay the scale price as
was settled upon at Columbus claim
ing that the coal was so far in the
hill that they could not compete
with other miners, but If the miners
would work for a Slight reduction
they would give them work, other
wise they would have to abandon
their mines. One of these mines be-
long to w. p. Rend, the other to the
Sunday Creek Coal Co. President
Farms ordered strike of all the
mines owned by these operators.
Rend and the Sunday Greek Coal Co
ownes the majority of the mines in
this vicinity. 1t was the purpose of
the Corning and Rendville aggrega-
tion coming to Glouster Monday to
get the miners here to join in the
strike. A motion was made that t.Ie
miners of Rend's and the Sunday
Greek miners strike until 3 and g
paid the price. An amendment was
made to stand by the Columbus
settlement, that is all mines to be
worked that would pay the scale
price and an assessment of 10 per
cent be made on each ton of coal to
support those miners whose oper-
otors would not pay the scale. This
amendment produced much discus
sion pro and con. Quite storm pre-
vailed and it looked for while as if
the meeting would end in row. The
Corning and Rendville crowd final
ly withdrew from the meeting and
the amendment was passed by
unanimous vote and thus another
strike in the Sunday Creek Valley
was averted.

False Prophet
The experts OF the treasury depart-
ment have been figuring the income
and expenditures of the government
and have come to the conclusion that
it may take several months 10 wipe
out the deficit which does not appear
to diminish under the new tariff law,
Some of the optomistic we're of the
opinion that receipts and expenditures
might balance by the first Of January,
but when 1t Is considered that some Of
the largest disbursements OF the year
must be made In January, there is lit
tie reason In reaching such a. bright
conclusions.
Counting the SAT 100000 in gold In
the treasury vaults, there Is an avail
able balance of 215,O0O,cOO. The re-
ceipts are running very light, and the
deficit for the fiscal year, which al
ready amounts to $2S,000,0o0, Is rap
idly increasing. Next month nearly
$6,OO0,O00 will have to be paid out as
quarterly interest, and in November
about $4,000, 900 will be expended for
the same purpose. Considering these
and other disbursements. the pros
pect Is that the first day Of next jan
uary will find a deficit amounting to
$45, 100000, and an available balance
Of less than 5000, ,000, ,0O0.-New York

two-thirds of the usual yield gener-

The tobacco harvest nears compile

done during week, but the ground is
too dry generally; some of the early
sown wheat is up. Pastures are poor;
stock is being fed and water is scarce.
