HANNA,s TANDEM.

Mark Hanna proposes to drive tandem
team of richly caparisoned steeds in this cam
paign. He completed his team on Thursday
when he purchased the Gold Democrat steed,
Dexter, of Cincinnati. He procured the nag
Coxey few weeks ago and with the Republi-
can elephant which is considerably handi.
capped by Bushnell and Foraker, he expects
to come under the wire winner, If the
breeching does not give way.
Hisnondescript team will attract the inhabi-
tants as he canters around the circle. AS he
shows up his tandem before coming in on the
home stretch, he no doubt will call particular
attention to his purchases and the price paid.
He will say to Coxey he is a cheap nag, little
OIL in the eyes, and inclined to shy at the sight
of big pocket book, but when approached by
an ordinary S25 yellow check, he winners his
glad acceptance and pulls at the breast strap
with vim and vinegar.
"Coxey may break occasionally when
brought in too close contact with Dexter and
the Republican elephant" says Hanna, "for
he is not accustomed to such good company,
but if hitch him in front and put binders
on him, and hang up yellow check in front
then he buckles down to business like a
centaur. He is a cheap nag, but Pm proud of
him, for like all my hands he works at very
low wages" and Mark cracked his whip and
commenced to whistle, "And what fine nag
was he" Pointing to Dexter he says, GAS for
that steed you can see he has a rich golden hue
and comes to me with slick hide and well
conditioned limbs. He makes a good leader
for the elephant who for few years back has
been handicapped not a little by crowd OF
fellows who wanted to put silver blanket on
him. But since Dexter has set the pace with
the 'yaller in full view and / have provided
rich golden shekels for his attendants / am
getting into condition for the race of my life
Yes, Dexter" continued Hanna, sis a dandy,
golden one Of no uncertain hue and at the
present timeis particularly welcome steed
Notwithstanding his elegant appearance and
his rich blood he was not unusually high
priced. He seemed to be willing to accept
promises of protection to his corporations and
trusts as sufficient remuneration for hi'
services"
"Now fellow citizens" says Mark as hi
draws up his tandem for the home stretch
with my cheap nag Coxey, my corporation
steed Dexter, and my own hide patched ant

But the people had placed too many obsta
cles in his path, and his tandem failed to leaI

stumbled into covered ditch, while Dexte
and the Republican elephant came down will
indecent haste on to him and crushed out hi
political life forever. The last end of the rac
was pitiful one. Coxey had been left in thu
ditch, Dexter's attendants have all deserted
him and Hanna with an empty bag that hat
contained golden shekles was seen sweating
and swearing at the poor woe begone elephan

OUR CIVIL RIGHTS.

So many and fagrant have been the viola
tons of the strict letter of the federal constitu
tion by the courts in the last few years that
the common people who have suffered from
the unfairness OF these decisions have come to
look upon the constitution as an old worn out
instrument, unworthy of respect and an or
ganic law made by fossils whose days of right
eousness were numbered with the past Yet
the essence of American liberty which is con-
tanned in the first amendment to this so called
"worn out instrument" that provides that
Congress shall make no law abridging the
freedom Of speech or of the press or the right
of the people to peaceably assemble" is the
fundamental law of liberty recognized today by
every free people,
The right to publicly assemble and discuss
their grievances without molestation is the
right which the people mold sacred and is now
and has been considered matter of course.
The attempts in the last few years to re

strain our liberties by injunctions, emanating
from states and federal judges, is a dangerous
suboersion of our rights. 1t is judicial pro-
ceedure borrowed from English judges, who
find their precedents in the lawlrss and turbu-
len reign of the infant King Richard II. when
judges were deported for giving judgment
varying from month to month to please the in
fant king and again to please hostile parlia-
ment. Our state and federal courts have APP
proved the doctrines which found precedent
in the disordered reign of Richard II. while
the later enlightened courts of England have
abandoned the pernicious doctrine
To overcome the repuguance Ofa free people
to the infringement of their most sacred and
fundamental rights, it is now the fashion to
belitte and decry any attempts to awaken the
consciences of the people to the conditions
that have grown and will continue to grow out
of the autocratic power exhibited by some OF
our courts. 1t is assumed that the courts can
not err and that their decisions, however,
odious to all patriotic and liberty loving people
must stand because the powers that be. e.
the corporations, hold the reins of government
and dictate the appointment of the judges.
There cannot be growth of this sentiment
among people who know their rights and
knowing them dare maintain them. The
usurpatan of a judge on the bench is no whit
better than the usurpation of a general in com
mand of the army and either the one or the
other demands and will receive the condemna.

THE LAST ARRIVAL.

There came to port last Sunday night
The queerest little craft
Without an inch of rigging on;
looked and looked-and laughed!
1t seemed so curious that she
Should cross the unknown water
And moor herself within my room
My daughter! oh, my daughter
Yet by these presents witness all,
She's welcome fifty times,
And comes consigned in hope and love
And common-meter rhymes.
She has no manifest but this;
No flag floats Ger the water;
She's rather new for our marine
My daughter oh, my daughter!
Ring out, wild bells, and tame ones, tool
Ring out the lovers moon
Ring in the little wOrsted socks!
Ring in the bib and spoon
Ring out the muse Ring in the nurse
Ring in the milk and water
Away with paper pen and ink
My daughter oh, my daughter

SILVER DOLLARS STILL WORTH
100 CENTS.

Silver is quoted as rising in value in
New York. The latest quotations are
1905 cents for the silver bullion in a
standard silver dollar. Yet the silver
dollar coined at the United States mint
will buy one hundred cents worth of
the commodities offered for sale by our
people. 1t is not the gold back of the
silver dollar that gives 1t the purchasing
power of one hundred cents, as errone-
ously stated by the gold press, bat the
law that says that 4l2H grains of stan
dard silver coined at our mints shall
constitute dollar. If the law would
give the right of mintage to silver equal
with gold we would recognize our own
American product with the same fervor
that we now reach out after the product
of the British possessions in the klon'
dyke, paying the British authorities ten
cents on the dollar for the right to retain
it after it is found, At the same time
the American people would at least be
classed as a consistent and provident
people, seeking to enrich themselves
with the product of their own land. But
such a course might give to our people g
medium which would enable them tc
freely exchange their own products and
employ at good wages our own people
which would work a greater protection
to them than a tariff and gold stan
dard, and then where would protective
tariff for the benefit of the American
workingman come in? The giving o
equal mintage facilities to silver as is nov
given to gold would dispel the illusion
that protective tariff is for the beneti
of the American workingman and i
therefore opposed by the fat fryinl
statesman and monopolists, becaus
they still want to fool the people by tn
! false CrV,

DANNER REUNION.
Large Number of People Were Pre-
sent and an Enjoyable Day
Was Passed,

The first Danner reuni IN was held last
Wm. Stover and wife, one mile east of
Canal Fulton. The day was pie ssant
and = foil representation of the Danner
family was present. About twenty went
out from Canton; in all there were some
seventy-hve present, which is about all
that remain of the banners and their
imme1 1iate connections. Rev. W. Elliott
and wife, Hon. S. A. Conrad aud wife
and Dr. A. b. Campbell and wife, to-
gether with perhaps q half-dozen others
were all who We're present who were not
relatives. A sumptuous dinner was
served on tables shaded by large tents
which had been put up for the occa-
sion after the dinner a short historical
paper of the DAnner family was read by
John DAnner, of this city, which was
followed by Iecitations by Mrs. Alice
! Danner Jones and John NJ. Danner, Of
Cav ton; also by Mary Dinner, of Canal
Fulton, and short addresses by DR.. A.
B. Campbell and L. NJ. Jones.
Officers were elected to serve for one
year and it was decided to hold the
next reunion on the second Saturday
of June, 1898, at Meyers lake, on the
north side.
About 4 o'clock preparations were
made to return to their several homes,
all having greatly enjoyed the OCCASION

KING MIDAS OF OLD.
[oRIGINAL.l


King Midas of old, as the story is told,
Had Jupiter grant him boon
Which favored him much, since all that he'd
Would turn into gold very soon.
At first he felt good, as most people would,
To think he had riches untold;
But he found to his cost that he really had
lost,
For food that he'd touch would turn gold
Our Midases now might profit, and bow
To the lesson that here is conveyed,
That covetous greed no Christian should heed,
Since gold never happiness made
Love of moneys blight, disregarding the
Right,
Absorbing both body and soul
'Tis the curse Of our time, and aflicts every
cline,
And makes of the man a mere ghoul
Let us hasten away from the present golt
sway,
Get back to the Righteous and true;
Men of PRINCIPLE should (not the PRINCIPAL
brood,)
Control meath the Red, White and Blue

The National Democratic state conven-
ton at Columbus last week was a very
small farce. A correspondent who took
notes says: 'There were just 81 persons
in that part of the hall assigned to dele
gates, and not all of them were entitled
to seats. The others, spectators, made
all told, not over 80 people" The Han.

modify is controlled by the demand for Il, and
II silver was restored to free coinage II would
instantly increase in value because the princi.
pal demand for IL as money would revive. Tho
same can be said of any other commodity
where old uses for IL are revived or new and
greater uses for II are found.
The demand for larger volume of money
can never be met and all products will move on
low average plane Of prices, so long as the
mints are closed to one Of the leading money
metals, unless, per chance there be a vast
output of gold that will lift all prices by large
ly swelling the volume of money.
If this should take place there would be a
movement to stop gold coinage led by the
same people who now are warning against
silver.
The closing of the mints against silver was
not done because of the antpathy against
silver as metal for every one Of the authors
of this outrage prides himself on being the pos.
SCISSOR of silver plate in abundance. 1t was
because they want dear dollars and cheap
labor and cheap commodities and they used
their power to demonetize silver to secure
them. A small volume of money with such
devices as can keep it under full control is the
aim of the money monger. The masses how
ever who circulate and do not hoard money
need full and ever increasing volume o.
money to keep up prices which will preven
the increase of tax burden and debt burder
and stimulate investment in property ant
enterprise and give ample and remunertiv,
employment to labor.
Nothing short of the giving to silver equa
access with gold in the mints will give sub
stantial increase to the money volume and t
that end every advocate of true prosperity /
nledped to hiring about

In Ohio it is boss Hanna; in New York

In Ohio it is boss Hanna; in New York
too are bosses, boss Platt especially.
Senator 1ilman, of South Carolina, is in
demand in the North on account Of his
plainness of speech. Speaking in Brook
lyn the other evening, he said: "Why
can't you get along without boss in
New York;" Several of the audience
attempted to answer. because we've
always had one," said one; "because
we've got to have parties and
parties must have Bosses" said an
other; "because we can't shake Platt
and Croker" said a third. "No,"
thundered the South Carolina natori
sit is because you're such internal fools
you don't know any better" This
settled the question without more
parley.

Mr.. Bryan is ever on hand to do good.
In railroad wreck he is the first man
out to rescue and help. In Congress he
was on the side of the people, in advo-
eating return to the constitution and
bimetallism, knowing that silver was a
tender in payment of debts as we'll as
gold, and is entitled to full and equal
consideration with gold. His great
c'mpaign of last year was phenomenal;
and he continues in well.doing. God
bless him, and save him.

The announcement last Friday that
the bank Of England had concluded to
hold one.tifth of its reserve in silver
startled the British public and created
surprise on this side. The London
papers denounced it and comments are
common. If confirmed good reasons
will soon be found for the step. The
fact is the condition of things in India is
alarming, and the grabbing for gold by
the leading governments of the world il
also alarming.

WHY THE FREE COINAGE OF Sill
YER.

With lessened demand due to the closing
of the worlds mints to silver constant de-
crease in the price ofsilver bullion may be ex'
pected. Should the prohibition of silver in
the arts follow the closing of the mints, silver
bullion would become worthless. The price
of silver today is commercial one in large
measure. Whatever demand there is for il
for coinage purposes may add to its price, but
If the progressive closure of the mints con
tinue, only the commercial price will prevail
and that will be at considerable discount
from the price at which II Is held today. Tn,

The Dingley bill has passed. 1t created
a lot of kickers. The free coinage Of
silver bill is yet to pass and when it
does, which as sure as the sun shines it
will, there will be another lot of kickers
The dissimilarity of the kickers will be

The silver question is the most vital
question now before the American peo-
pie. The addition of new money to our
circulating medium is demanded by
every business interest. The addition
should be from the stores of precious
metals found within our own borders in
abundance. A money sanctioned by an
act of congress and made legal tender
for all debts and dues of the government
if made of gold, silver or paper, will
freely exchange the products of Ameri-
can labor if there is a sufficient amount
of it issued. The himetallists of America
are pledged to the free coinage of silver,
which, when accomplished, will be the
entering wedge to an ample volume of
currency that will at once relieve the
sJrnigency that now prevails, and will
do more to bring about the prosperity
of the people than all other proposed
remedies combined.

NO GUESS WORK HERE.
All Canton People Have to Do is to
Follow the Example of Fellow
Citizens.

F6Cts are stubborn.
Some may be disputed.
None can be disproved.
A fact is the opposite of fiction.
Is always hedged about with proof.
Has to stand the test of investigation.
Or it drifts to the realm of doubt.
Investigate closely the following.
The closer the scrutiny, the more con-
vincing the result.
A Canton citizen speaks here.
Speaks from experience and convic-
ton.
Relates facts, stubborn facts.
That may be disputed, but cannot be

THE COUNTY FAIR

Is yearly affair, and the officers this
year are determined to make the occa.
sion the greatest ever seen in the county.
Every day of the fair will be great day
and the exhibits in every line will be
full and attractive. The various depart.
ments will bear repeated visits, for there
will be much to see.
In horticulture and art the display
will be extensive and interesting. But
the display Of the productions of mother
earth in the county will be especially
worth a day or two at the fair. The
glorious county of Stark will be shown
so that one may judge Of her resources.
All this is something to be proud Of.
The display of horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, poultry, etc, will be as always
heretofore a sight to interest and enjoy
No doubt the competitive military
drills in which several we'll trained com
panies will compete will be an attractive
feature. And it should be remembered
that the far famed Grand Army Band
of Canton, will discourse the music
