EXPORTS, IMPORTS AND FAIL
URES.

People generally know that the past
% years have been mostly years Of great
business depression, in which failures
we're numerous. The times affect ex
ports and imports. When industries
are depressed imports fall off, as com
pared with exports as the annual
reports of the United States
treasury show. Since 1873 but four
years show imports over exports and the
other 81 years were hard time years with
many business failures, The following
table is taken from late issue Of Dun's
Review, and it will be seen, shows the
exports and imports and failures:

One of the Vital Questions of the Day
Fraught With Interest to
Canton People.

If there is anything in local endorse
ment when compared with foreign, If
there is anything more convincing in the
opinions held by people we know, than
those entertained by utter strangers,
then Canton citizens have the golden
opportunity of their lives to decide these
opinions of Mr.. Alfred Reigler, of Fire
Station No. 4, who resides at No. 100
w. Lake St., says: "From boy was
troubled with weak back which devel-
oped some six years ago into bad case

Speaker Mason says he opposed Hanna
because he (Hanua) tried to bribe him
two years ago to vote for the 80 year
Rogers franchise bill Mr. Bramley, also
OF Cleveland said he voted against Mr..
Hanna because he wanted to see a man
elected who would represent the COM
mon people and he did not believe that
man of Mr.. Hanna's characteristics
and environment ought to be chosen.

All good citizens regardless of party
prediction, should favor investigating
the attempt to bribe Representative Otis
of Cincinnati, to induce him to vote for
Mr.. Hanna, as his three colleagues Of
the house, Lane, Droste and Kanpel and
Senator Voight did, The investigation
should have been before electing Mr..
Hanna. The excuse that the law re-
quired an election is not the case,
though it requires vote, and the votes
may have been scattered and so avoided
an election until after Investigation.
This, undoubtedly would have been the
proper and better course. Thomas
Campbell, Mr.. Otis's lawyer, has the
81, ,75O received from Mr.. Hanna's agent.

Jerry Simpson seems to have hit the
nail on the head, in characterizing the
Republican assaults on the civil service
clause in the appropriation bill, passed
by the house, as merely dress parade.
No Republican moved to strike out the
civil-service appropriation, and the bill
was passed including it.

that as he was driving alongin a buggy
