OHIO MINERS QUIT
Diggers of Black Diamonds in
the Canton Vicinity Wax
ing Up.
Agreement Reached Not to Mine
Coal Tor Any Purpose
Whatever.
The De ArMitt Mine Almost En-
tirely Closed---An Operators
Statement.

CANTON, O., Aug. 5.-The coal miners
n this locality are now awakening to
\ e situ1tion.
!. Over 100 Osnaburg miners, headed by
band, marched to North Industry and
held a meeting. Afterwards they Wis
tied the local mines and succeeded in
inducing all the miners to come out.
An agreement was reached whereby no
coal will be mined for any purpose
whatever until the present mining
troubles are settled. A good deal of ex.
element was occasioned by this visit Of
the Osnaburg men, but the result was
obtained with no trouble and amidst
much enthusiasm.

GAINED ANOTHER VICTORY.
More of De Arlnitt's Men Induced to Leave
the Mines.

More of De Ar1nitt's Men Induced to Leave
the Mines.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 5.-The striking
miners gained another victory at Plum
creek by inducing 20 more men to join
the ranks. All Of them were diggers.
This leaves the mine working with about
half the force of the previous day.
Committees are working industriously
in the houses of the miners. They first
enlist the sympathy of the women, and
then the men are more easily induced
to follow.
The strikers are turning their atten-
ton entirely to the diggers, knowing
that if they come out the other EN-.
ployes will be forced to follow. The
demonstration against the DeArmitt
mines has the effect Of decreasing the
capacity of $40 cars to % cars with the
probability Of it being further reduced.
One Notable Feature.
One of the notable features of the
strike of the miners has been the alb.
sence Of effort by the operators to get
their miners to work. There has been
no meeting by them to consider the sit.
nation, nor have there been any at.
tempts to start mines with new men.
This was explained by an operator who
said he is satisfied to have the strike
continue until January, as he has
enough coal to last him, or can get it at
prices which will enable him to make
profit The lower river markets are re-
ported to be we'll stocked with Pittsburg
coal, and by reason Of almost contin.
uous navigation from January to July,
large stocks have been accumulated in
the New Orleans, Louisville and Gin.
cinnati markets, and no coal boat stage
OF water can be expected now before
November.
Some of the rail operators have plenty
OF coal, one producer claiming to have
not less than 200, 900 tons available for
his contracts. and others can buy coal at
a price almost as low as they can pro
duce it.
Made Coal Jump.
. The miners at Schmocks mines ON the
Redstone branch of the Pennsylvania
railway are out and the mines are once
more closed down. When the news
was received in this city the price o1
coal jumped to 81 ton, and brokers
said prices were likely to advance to
$3.50 before next week. President w
p. DeArmitt of the New York an6
Cleveland Gas Coal company says that
his men are not on strike and are MOI
in sympathy with the movement
..They have been intimidated," said he
.and have no doubt that all would re
turn to work if the forces of strikers en-
camped at the different mines were
withdrawn"

OTTUMwA, Ia, Aug 5.-A thousand

The Price of Bread.

A great deal has been said about
the advance in the price Of wheat,
and the consequent advance in the
price OF bread, but comparatively few
persons, says the Philadelphia Star,
take the trouble to figure out what
increase should be made in the price
of say, ten-cent loaves, or, more
properly, the decrease in the size of
the loaf, for there have been compare
tiyely few advances in price, the
bakers avoiding that unpopular plan
by simply decreasing the size of their
loaves
Scarcely one person in hundred
notices the diminution in size, and
yet it not unfrequently amounts to
one-ffth. Now, one-fifth Of reduc-
tion in quantity makes a very mater
iaI difference in poor mans bread
bill.
1t takes two and half bushels OF
wheat to make a barrel Of flour, leav-
ing out of sight the bran and what
are known as the middlings, which
have some value. The recent ad-
vance in wheat does not exceed
twenty-five cents bushel. The in
crease in the actual cost Of a barrel
OF flour is therefore sixty-two and a
half cents, and yet a reduction Of the
size OF the loaves one-fifth gives the
1,alrar a nrOfit of not less than a dol
aar and half for every barrel OF
flour made into bread by him, all OF
which must come from the pockets of
the consumers, the majority Of whom
are working people, which is certainly
a very serious consideration.
The diminution In the size Of the
loaf to the extent generally made is
unjustifable. When wheat is low

A GLORIOUS PAST

His Eloquent Review Of the Re-

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 81, 1S97-The
keynote Of the impending campaign in
Pennsylvania was eloquently sounded
by state Chairman John p. Elltin
when he assumed the duties of temper
ary chairman of the Republican state
convention. He was frequently cheered
and applauded as he reviewed the past
glories Of the Republican party and
pointed to the bright promise Of the
future. Chairman Elkin said:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
thank you for the privilege and pleas
ure Of presiding over the deliberations
of such an intelligent and enthusiastic
body of Republicans.
In the last presidential contest the
party of which you are the accredited
representatives, won a pronounced and
signal victory. We were successful il

and flour consequently much cheaper
there were very few bakers who in
creased the size Of Il eir loaves or
lessened the price, but now that there
is an advance in the price of wheat
they grasp the opportunity to de
crease the size Of their loaves The
local bakers have not yet taken this
move, and we have no knowledge
that they propose doing so, but in
other localities of the county they
have done 50.

yer and wheat except that which is
regulated by the great economic law of
supply and demand The Republican
party announces to the farmers OF
PennsylvahiQ a fact that fills their
hearts with joy and brings sunshine
and happiness to every home-wheat is
selling at dollar a bushel in the open
markets of the world. Prosperity is no
longer a dream of the future; It is a re-
ality of the present. The advance agent
is now enjoying the cool breezes that
blow over the great lakes and has the
sweet consolation of knowing that good
times have again returned to a long
suffering people
It was a sad commentary on the in
competency of the Democratic admin
istration that just before the Wilson
bill expired ships laden with foreign
goods were chasing each other over the
ocean in a mad rush to reach Ameri-
can ports before the Dingley bill should
go into operation. The instinct of the
trader and the avarice of the importer
told them that the passage of the new
tariff law meant the consumption of
more home manufactured articles and
the purchase of less from foreign ma
tions All this viii be changed now
Hereafter ships laden with the products
of the American farm and American
mandatory win be chasing each other
over the seas to foreign ports. We must
and will have the balance of trade in
our favor. We must sell to foreign ma
tions more than we buy from them
The results will be continual prosperity
to the American people. These results
we fondly predict, will follow the pas
sage of the Dingley bill.
With more gold on the Klondilke; God
in the harvest fields; the Republican
party directing the administration of
national affairs; the Dingley bin on our
statute books and Mckinley holding
the reins of government peace and
prosperity shall dwell within our bord-
eTs, let us hope, forever.
! now await the pleasure of the con-
vention.
