Carroll County People Giving
Some Attention to An
Object Lesson.

Carrollton, Sept. 20.-The increase in
the prices of all building material has
put check to many contemplated i'm
provements in our little city and car
penters who anticipated busy season
under the advertised revival of busi-
ness" have been disappointed. A nota-
BILE instance of this blighting effect of
trust prices is the effort Of the building
committee of the proposed new M. E.
church to get bids any where near the
architects estimates. Relying on those
estimates they advertised and received
bids, but were compelled to reject all Of
them, as they were from three to five
thousand dollars higher than it had
been estimated the church could be
built for The bidders give as a reason
the unprecedented advance in the prices
of hardware and other building materi-
ais, as was noted in your columns a few
days ago. The excavation has been
made for the foundation of the church,
but it Is now thought that nothing
can be done this fall toward building,
unless more modest structure is plan
ned. 1t is hard for our people to under
stand why when wages have not ad-
vanced and there is no apparent reason
for suclA Increase in prices that the
consumer must thus pay tribute to a
lot OF manufacturers who are already
multi-millionaires. Prominent Repub-
licans here do not hesitate to say that
unless their party throws aside the rule
of the millionaires and gets nearer the
common people and their interests that
the Republican party and her mission
are at an end.

BRYAN AND COCHRAN.

Col. Bryan showed the white feather
when 1t came to engaging in joint de-
bate with Bourke Cochran. Mr.. Bryan
knows an earthquake when he sees it.
Toledo Blade.
The narrowness of the Blade Is best
illustrated by a reproduction, in part,
of an editorial in the Chicago Times
Herald, the leading Republican paper
of the west.
The Herald on" Mr.. Bryans speech
says:
"Mr. Bryan came into the trust con-
ference under spur to do his best, and
he proved undoubtedly that as a popu-
lar orator he has little to fear even
from such a formidable rival as Mr..
Cochran. We think that he handled at
least one portion Of his address, that
on competition, more satisfactorily,
If not more skillfully, than the New
York speaker, in that he developed its
relation to his subject much more
frankly.
Both men urged the benefits Of com
petition, but Mr.. Cochran assumed too
much when he took it for granted that
trusts kept its principles in the best
working order. Mr.. Bryan was far more
convincing when he indicated how, from
the very makeup of human nature it is
dangerous to confde to a few individ-
uals the enormous powers that these
great modern combinations Of capital
possess. The tendency must be, as he
says, toward the sitting rather than
toward the promotion of competition
and in this view it makes little differ
ence what the immediate effect on
prices is"

Gath, in the Pittsburg Dispatch,
makes an interesting statement involv-
ing Mclean aS an aims contributor to
the Mckinley fund He says:
"a man by the name of Walker lived
in the littl town of Poland and had a
small bank there. He and Abner Nc
Kinley it is said resolved to get rich
by buying undeveloped coal lands,
which they expected to sell at a great
advance. That sort Of property bobs
up and down, according to the price of
coal, and the activity of the forges, and
finally the two spectators were caught,
and William Mckinley was on their pa
per- or rather on Walkers paper.
"Mr. Hanna, Mr.. Herrick, the presi-
dent of a big savings bank in Cleve-
land, and some others put subscrip-
ton in circulation, and, among other
contributions was Mclean, just nomina-
ted for governor of Ohio. Mckinley s
debts We're paid off, to larger figure,
some say, than they existed"
Now, that was once John r. Mclean
was caught as a generous contributor
to humanity in distress under what
looks like a plea under false pretense
How comes it that William was on
Walkers paper and not on brother Abb
ner's paper at the same time, when
Walker and Abner were partners?
Again, it is generally understood that
the speculation that brought trouble to
William, was the tin business, and not
in property that "bobs up and down
There has always existed and remains
a mystery in the mind of the public re-
garding this transaction.
The Youngstown Vindicator, Demo
cratic paper of critical and we'll thought
notions comments as follows:
Gath being a Republican, is supposed
to speak from the record, and should
explain why brother Abner, reputed
rich, does not aid his late partner now
in financial straits, especially wher
William paid the debts by passing the
hat. John r. Mclean was in much
better business aiding human suffering
when contributing by the car load tC
starving miners, their wives and child
rem in the Hooking Valley, without
suggestion from Hanna, than wher
parting with his funds to pay William
or Abner McKinley's debts. But, again
is not the character of the two men
Mckinley and Mclean, brought int
contrast by this incident, dug up by
Gath; when it is recalled that Mckinley
so soon forgetting his own distress
was found ordering out the militia o.
the state to suppress others in worse
condition, and Mclean still discovered
with his purse open sending SUPPLIES
to the INDECENT and starving?

A Republican organ having jubilantly
claimed that the Cambria iron works at
Johnstown, Pa, was employing $500
men, or 1000 more than ever similarly
engaged in the history Of that establish
ment, the Johnstown Democrat replies
that while the 1000 additional men are
employed this year, the 5000 hands drew
in wages prior to the election of Nc
Kinley, something more than the
5000 now draw. 'It is WE'LL" says the
Democrat, ito have all the statistics

Eight thousand two hundred laborers
received less wages now than

Cincinnati Sept. 20.--The Post prints
special from Springfield, Ohio giving an
interview with Governor Bushnell, in
which the governor says that Judge
Nash's chickens are coming home to
roost."
This was in reference to Judge
Nash's insulting letter of resignation as
trustee of a Marietta institution at the
time when Hanna was running for
election to the u. S. senate. Governor
Bushnell said today: mot satisfied with
resigning his position, to which letter
replied most courteously, he was main
ly instrumental in organizing an effort
to throw reflections upon my Inaugural
ton, which am glad to say did not ma
terialize. 1t is said, Time heals all
wounds but I believe there are some
injuries which are a long time in heal
ing" Governor Bushnell was free in
criticising Hanna and Nash for their
treatment of him.

THE TRAVELLING MAN AND THE
TRUSTS.

The following from "The Sample
Case" a journal published at Columbus,
Ohio, in the interests of the commercial
travellers, is good sense and ought to
be read and re-read by every travelling
man in Ohio:
"The New York Times, answering the
assertion Of Mr.. p. e. Dow, that $4,000
travelling men have already been
thrown out of employment through the
organization of the trusts, has this to
say:
Now, if his president Dowes) state
ment as to the number is accurate, and
there is very good reason to think that
it is not very far out of the way, this
presents one of the strongest reasons
for organizing trusts that could be ad-
duced, for it indicates that the produc-
tion and distribution of commodities
has been unnecessarily clogged to an
extent that is simply appalling, when
you consider the aggregate, for it Is
safe to say that the saving thus indi-
Gated will reach close to $780, 600 per
annum, which at the present earning
rate of capital, will reach a return on
three billions Of investment.
The incubus of the commercial traveller
has been a menace to the proper con-
duct of commercial transactions for
years, and it must come to an end, If
business is to prosper"
The commercial travellers are here
dismissed, as a class, and branded as
an unnecessary evil. 1t is not the in
tention of the Sample Case to make a
political sheet of it's columns, or to
deal with this problem in any sense
other than a business proposition, and
one likely to work great and enduring
wrong to the class whose cause it ex-
pouses. The above, coming from one
Of the strongest champions of a sub
sidiZed press, is a warning which we
should not let pass unnoticed. 1t is
the advance war-cry of the trusts in
the coming presidential campaign. II
assumes that all our business interests
in the past have been conducted or
wrong and extravagant principles; that
not less than $100,0O0,000 a year have
been foolishly and wastefully expended
i by those concerns who have already
gone into the trusts. This amount the
the trusts propose to retain, thus re.
| lieving the overburdened industries
from "the incubus of the Commercial
traveller" Now, to this 100000, ,00C
saved; we can add, these same trusts
have watered their stocks to an extent
which in the aggregate reaches the
incomprehensible sum of $1,000, 900, ,00t
capitalization, greater that the tota
capital Of the manufacturing and me
chanical industries Of the country. Tht
first one hundred million they propos,
to take out Of the pelts Of the travelling
men; the additional one thousand mil
lion represents the protection they
propose to give to the unwary lambs

Teddy Roosevelt will come to Ohio
in a few days to open the Hanna cam
paign. In this connection the Rochester
Herald says of the Rough Rider:
1t has struck a good many people
during the past few months that Cover
nor Roosevelt is little too much in
clined to prate about honesty, to COM
mend what he Is pleased to call the
"strenous life" and to give excessive
prominence to his blood-letting propen-
stiles. We believe in the governor.

he is brave, and we are even willing to
admit that he Is extremely strenuous,

Columbus, Sept. 20.-The Democratic
state campaign will be opened at Ham
ilton on the afternon of the 30th inst,
with fifteen speakers listed for the occa-
sion. 1t will be probably one of the
greatest openings the Democracy of Ohio
has ever seen, and nothing will be spar
ed to add to the success of the effort.
AS now arranged, the court house
square will be utilized for the occasion,
as 1t offers the best site right in the
heart of the city, with liberal suround-
ing grounds.
Four stands will be erected for the
speakers, one at either side and one at
either end of the building, and from
these it is expected that it will be pos
sible to entertain the asemblage of
Democrats with the choicest of Demo-
cratic argument.
John r. Mclean and Judge Patrick
will be on the speakers list, but proba-
bly, no more of the state candidates.
With them will be associated all of the
defeated candidates for the gubernato-
rial nomination. Messrs. General Sher-
wood, Colonel Kilbourne, P. M. Haskell,
James A. Rice and James P. Seward,
together with John c. Welty, Colonel w.
A. Taylor, Congressman John j. Lentz,
x-Governor Campbell Paul Sorg,

to the oratorical feast
There will be no out of the state
speakers, home talent only being en-
listed and the list may be increased If
the necessities indicate the wisdom of
such action!
