all like the English, instead Of being
fundamentally different, Mr.. Dingley
would probably have been leader OF the
House, or, let US say, Chancellor OF the
Exche quer. AS it was, though he held
no Office, he was recognized as IN many
respects the most influential member of
the Republican party in the chamber
and had as much power as any other
statesman in directing and guiding is
proceedinRs--except, OF course, the
Speaker, who is the all important tunc'
t,onary in directing legislation in the
United States. But Mr.. Dingley will oi
course, be chiefly remembered as chair
man Of the Committee who shaped the
tariff that bears his name.
The United States was bound, sooner
or later. to become one Of the greatest
OF manufacturing communities. 1t is
open to impartial observers from outside
to believe that the result has been
retarded, rather than accelerated, by
the artificial protection which Mr..
Dingley carried to its farthest lengths.
But while the tide is running as 1t does
at present, American manufacturers and
farmers will not quarrel with the tariff

A Crazy Story from Akron.

A Crazy Story from Akron.
The Associated Press last week sent
out the following from Akron:
"A representative Of the National
Liquor League was in the city last week
and local men were very reticent as to
the object Of his visit. Now that he has
lett, strange story is told of the move
which he is said to be at the head Of.
It is no more than the closing up of
every saloon in the citv tor a period OF
two years. Members of the Akron
Liquor Lee que made this statement in
all seriousness and claim that the project
IS entirely feasible. The manner of
l'oing this is by the following method:
The National League, covering "a
States. is strong enough to pay the
propr jetOrs OF the local saloons revenue
enough to keep them out OF the business,
and will do SO in order to give the people
ofAkron and ofal other cities an object
lesson on the suferings which will be
entailed on municipalities by the closing
OF these places. The Dow tax paid by
the saloons amounts IN Akron to a very
large sum, most OF which goes to the
police and poor fund, and the loss ofthis,
the liquor dealers figure, will seriously
embarrass the finances Of the city.
Akron has been selected as the city
for this object lesson because Of the
recent agitation there against the saloons
conducted by the ministers OF the city.
