whoever amasses fortune is scoundrel and
an enemy to the race. Tell them, if you must,
that no man can get rich and be honest, and
your children will never disgrace you by
having anything"
In what terrible straits this country would
be should all of the bankers of the Shaw stripe
wake up some morning in a better or possibly a
worse land. What would the government do
without them2 1t is a matter of history not
forty years old, that the united banks of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, attempted to
palm of the worthless paper of suspended
banks upon the government as loan which
called for specie, and because Secretary Chase
refused to walk into trap which would have
bankrupted the government at the most
critical moment of the war. and caused to be
issued instead the demand notes, these same
patriotic bankers, to take revenge upon the
government, endeavored to force below par the
demand notes, by meeting the soldiers who
had been paid with them, and shave the notes
from twenty to forty per cent. Because the
government proposed making its own issue
good for all things that coin would pay for in
the United States, old Thqd Stevens said in a
speech before congress that "a howl went up
from the bankers and bullion brokers so
hideous that nothing like it had been known
since their consins, the money changers of
Christs time were kicked out of the temple at
Jerusalem" Wehave Hanna in Ohio who
can give cards and spades and skin the crowd
and fool the voters but Ohio voters ought tc
be thankful they haven't Shaw.

debts with "a cent dollars does not conform
with their highly honorable precepts which
demands payment Of debts il 100 cent dollars.
But there Is another phase of the subject.
There can be but one kind of honest money,
That is the kind that will permit the debtor to
pay his debts with a money which at its final
analysis will purchase the same amount of
commodities as the money in which the debt
was created. Any other kind Of money is not
honest whatever may be its complexion. The
change in the purchasing power of money is
destructive Of stability aud commercial honor.
This is especially true when such change is
made through pernicious legislation instigatcd
by fnahCiers who are controlled more by a
greed for gain than by justice There is an
utter lack of honor in such instigation that in
time permeates the entire body polite. No
better evidence can be offered to this state.
m ent than the facts above stated relative to
the "a cent dollars.
The rapidly changing and increasing pur-
chasing power of gold in the last twenty years
has been noted and admitted by all, The
inability to keep pace with it has compelled
the payment of debts through bankruptcy.
1t has constantly required larger amounts of
products and property to purchase these gold
dollars. Debts created twenty years ago have
more than doubled when measured by products
and property. The merchants, manufacturers
and farmers dollars have been invested in
property that has been ever on the decrease.
The bankers dollars have increased in price
His beloved gold, which he worships, has
been rapidly changing and growing dearer
from year to year, while the debtors dollars
have shrunken to "a cent dollars when he
came to pay his debts. Is il reputation on
the part Of the debtor to pay his debts with "a
cent dollars where everything else is on pal
with them? Yes! Where the debtors property
has shrunken rs per cent when measured il
the bankers dollars? No! 1t is an homes
money when property and money remain OF
the same plane from year to year. 1t il
dishonest money when money increases il
value as compared with property, the increas,
as in the present value of gold being caused b!
perniCous legislation.

don't deny their situation-t they only
say "you're another" All this only
shows that they realize the awful load
they are carrying in Mark Hanna. Now
John r. Mclean is not being pushed
among Democrats for United States SEN
ator. Such men as Generals Sherwood, +,
Warner, Finley, Rice, etc, are spoken
of and quite favorably. McLean's En-.
quirer was the one great daily last year
that nobly supported Bryan. The
other great dailies owned by millionaire
gold bugs opposed Bryan viciously. And
let it be remembered that Mclean EN-.
ploys union labor and pays the best
wages going.

A BOLD ASSERTION.
The Assertion Made in the IntrOduc-
tiOn to This Canton Citizens State
ment is Literally True.

There is only one medical preparation
on the market which gives local evidence
touching its merits; home proof to back
up its claims; Canton evidence for Cam
ton people. Statements from people we
know in place of statements from stran-
gers. The preparation Is the one en-
dorsed by Mr.. j. f. Eby, of No. 205
South Plum street, engineer at MCLain's
factory, who says: "For about six years
| had been greatly troubled with my kid
neys caused by straining my back. 1t
aChed part of the time so severely that l
was in misery. could not lift or do
anything that caused n strain without
being rewarded for it with pain that was
terrible while it lasted. When l would
sit in one position for some time my
back would become stiff and lame, and
when arising in the morning | was al
ways very stiff and tired. l noticed
several items in my papers about Doan's
Kidney Pills. Tney struck me as they
did not claim to cure anything but the
kidneys, they might help me. | pro-

NOT MADE TO BE KEPT.

One of the kiln burners Of the Buckeye
Sewer Pipe works of Akron, encountered E.
H. Gibbs, the secretary of the company, few
days ago, according to the Akron Democrat;
We'll Mr.. Gibbs, you worked us fine, didn't
you?' he said. "You had us marching over
town in Republican parades and whoop'em Ter
up for Mckinley; and now when Mckinley is
elected you give us cut the first thing"
To this Mr.. Gibbs is said to have answered:
"Why in the h didn't you vote for the
man you wanted to-"
Which is considered by some as equal to say
ing; "You were fool to vote the way l told
you to, and now despise you for it. Cam
paign promises were not made to be kept"
The sewer pipe men all understood the
moral.

A ,FLUENCE HUMBUG.

The disposition to poke fun at ex-senator
Edmunds and his ten associates who have met
in Washington and organized themselves into
so called monetary commission has been
more pronounced than ever since Mr..
Edmunds issued an explanation of why they
are in session. He admits that they have no
authority and that they cannot even approach
congress with suggestion as to legislation,
except by the right of petition, possessed by
every citizen. In the face of that admission,
the star chamber meetings of these agents OF
the indianapolis Gold Bankers convention of
last winter appear to be farcical in the
extreme, and the result of their deliberation is
likely to be just about as influential with
congress as would be resolution
adopted by the Thompson Street Poker Club
[Curent Events.

The Republicans of Toledo are not dis
posed to run after Nj. A. Hanna. Out
that way they have not forgotten nor
forgiven his treachery to Foraker.
Great efforts were made by Hanna's
man Waldorf to get a rousing reception
for his master on his arrival there Mon
day afternoon. On landing, however,
at the Union depot he was received by
three menl All through it was chilly
affair. At the committee rooms about a
hundred were got together, most all ap'
plicants for office. Mr.. Hanna made a
short speech that did not rouse the
echoes. He did not name Governor
Bushnell once. Bushnell should Mark

THE YEARLY TINTINNABULA'
TION.

The Republican speakers and press always
sound the alarm to American wOrkingmen of
the protected industries prior to their efforts
to pave the way to fill the Golfers of their be-
loved plutocrats. They hold up with terrify-
ing boldness the dangers Of competition with
the pauper labor of Europe; enlarging upon it
and the consequent loss of wages and work if
wall of protection is not thrown around
them. Experience with protection and its
consequent damnation and despair to the shop
hands" are soon forgotten when after years of
misery through the damnable system, the
siren song is again tintinnabulated in their
ears.
Mullhall, the famous statistican puts the
average product per capita of labor in the
United States at S2,204.O0; England S513 80;
Germany SS50.4O.
That is to say the average production of the
single individual American workingman is
two hundred and fifty per cent more than the
combined production of both the English and
German wage Garner. One American produces
as much as four Englishmen or six German.
This fact should demonstrate that the Ameri-
can wage Garner is not in any manner in com.
petition with foreign labor.
Intelligent and careful observers of the
American system OF protection realize that a
high protective tariff is meant only to fill the
Golfers of the plutocrats. A continuation of il
means that American labor will take its place
Monarchial Germany with les freedom than
either now enjoys because of their ability to
produce more without consequent ability to
consume their own products. In scramble
for work by which they hope to merely exist
the competition among themselves will become
so fierce, as to engenderas it already has done
riot and bloodshed.

HANNA DENIES THE IMPEACH.
MENT.

Senator Hanna denies that he has
been an oppressor of labor or that he
has ever antagonzed labor, claiming, in
deed, that he was one of the first EN-.
ployers to favor the organization of
lsboring men.
Mr.. Hanna makes thisgeneral denial in
reply to MIR. Sovereign, who advises labor
ing men to oppose Mr.. Hanna by voting
against the legislative candidates pledg.
ed to his support for the United States
senate. While Mr.. Hanna is entitled to
hearing in his own defense, he should
understand that denial is not disproof. If
Mr.. Hanna's character and course have
been such as he claims, he certainly has
not been so understood and credited,
either at home or away from home.
Surely Mr.. Hanna has not been keeping
his light under bushel all these years.
The Central Labor union at Cleveland
has reiterated specific charges against
Mr.. Hanna as to his hostility to organ
lied labor in years gone by. We are
not aware that he has ever met or de-
MED these charges, and we are not
aware that any one has denied them or
refuted them for him. The Cleveland
Leader, now his organ, few years since
made such charges against Senator Han
ma. In fact it seems for years these
serious charges have been repeatedly
made without being met or denied.
At this time, when Mr.. Hanna is be.
fore the people as candidate for the
United States senate and these charges
are revived and reiterated, it becomes
imperative that they should be met or
at least denied, So Mr.. Hanna has at
last become aroused to the necessity of
attending to these charges. He evident
ly sees that they must be attended to or
he may suffer defeat at the hands of an
indignant people.
When Mr., Hanna was not an aspirant
for official position he seems to have
cared little what was said about him,
and attempted no refutation. But
circumstances alter cases. Mr.. Hanna
was very independent when not seeking
office, even opposing Foraker in 1883
} Now, however, that he Is anxious tC
continue iu the senate in order to sus
tain the Mckinley administration anG
help to take care of trusts and monopo
, hes, he fears the consequences of thest
serious charges among laboring men, fo
5 these men have votes and are not likely
to support an enemy and an oppresso
t OF labor. Hence his general denial, bu
I without meeting the specific charges,
5 For long years Mr.. Hanna has slep
i. on his opportunity to meet or refute tn
b charges he now vigorously denies. VIII
Il has he slept so long2 Why did he nc

HANNA PLAYED OUT.

Hanna can't fool workingmen this year.
He can't hide behind Mckinley; his corruption
fund will not avail; his war record will not
count; his speeches are no good and Foraker
has gone, after giving Hanna the honey that
run down Aaron's beard; his labor record is
ad yerse and will lose him thousands OF votes.
In short, this United States Senator Hanna
has run his course, all which he will realize
after election.
Mark Hanna as an orator does not take well,
And as to the reason Mark Hanna won't tell;
But some how or other he acts as chill,
At least people do not respond with will.
They know that he hasn't their interest at
heart,
And so are convinced they were better apart;
But sail ON Mark Hanna, you'll get to the end,
When you'll find people break, where you
thought they would bend.
Your scheming with Coxey, a miserable trick,
And was fully exposed by the check of your
Dick!

The Democratic party of Ohio is not
committed to John r. Mclean, though
the Hanna organs are declaring other
wise. The Republican party is mere
Hanna affair. He is the boss as Platt
and Quay are in their states, and these
Republican kings can do no wrong.
Whatever these men dictate in their
respective states is obeyed, and they
control the Mckinley appointments
therein and Mr., Hanna controls also the
appointments south as rule. Republi-
can papers wish to make the Democracy
as black as their party and as much
enslaved by boss. These Hanna sheets

The Democratic state senatorial and
county tickets are we'll worthy cordial
and hearty support, In voting only
one mark is necessary, namely, the
multiplication or cross mark within the
ring or circle at the top of the ticket.
We tell our friends not to bother to
make any other mark. Our candidates
are capable and every way worthy, and
we say to our friends by all means vote
straight. Tickets are much more easily
counted when the voting is straight, A
scratched ticket is always bothersome.

pull and pull all together, and 80 re-

name to suffer as he has. II is late in
the day for Mr.. Hanna to turn back and
correct the hand OF time. He may now
issue or have Mr.. Dick issue checks to
help HIM through, but if he has been
maligned and DETAINED as he claims, this
business should have been checked by
some other procedure. As great
author says:
--"Good name in man or woman
Is the immediate jewel of their souls
Who steals my purse, steals trash, tits some
thing, nothing
Twas mine, tits his and has been slave to
thousands
But he who filches from me my good name,
RObs me of that which not enriChes him,
And makes me poor indeed"

COMMISSIONER LAuaHLIN.

The Stark county readers Of the News Dom
ocrat will he more or less interested in the acts
and works Of Prof J. Laurence Laughln,
whose former residence was in this county,
and whose father still resides,at Alliance. The
Omaha World Herald in recent number,
says:
PROT. ]. Laurence Laughin is one Of the
commissioners appointed to draft plans for the
bcttement of the currency. This commission
is appointed in response to a resolution adopted
by the indianapolis conference some months
ago. 1t is safe to propbesy that the commits
sion will decide that the only real way to
reform the currency is to retire the grecnbacks
and let banks have the sole power to issue
paper money. Prof. Laughlin certainly takes
this view of il.
A short time ago he made the public state
ment that there Is plenty of gold in this
country, but not enough industry to absorb it,
According to the views of this eminent fnan-
cer there is really no need for greenbacks,
and If there ever should come time when
they are needed tho banks can attend to the
matter of issuing them. The country has
plenty Of gold, according to Laughlin, and
should now bend its energies toward building
up industries to absorb it,
The work which is expected Of the commits
sion is clearly shown by the men placed upon
| 1t, Laughlin is good sample OF the rest sc
far as financial views are concerned. He be
lieves we have gold enough, and that the
government has no need to issue greenbacks
1t is plainly evident that the greenback il
doomed unless the schemes Of the fnancierl
are frustrated by an indignant people. Every
plan has been laid to retire the greenback
aud allow the banks to issue the paper none!
and contract or expand the volume of circulat
ing medium at their own sweet will. 1t rests
with the people whether the plan is successful
1t will not be if the people are thorough!
