Interesting Gossip from All the Camps About
Prominent Citizens Talked Of
for Honors.

The following named citizens IRE

which they are enumerated:
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-01-05

The enormous demand for bonds and
securities, reflected by the reports of
Wall street Is one Of the evidences of the
country's great prosperity. The trans
actions, the largest witnessed for years,
show that the people have money to in.
vest and that they are satisfied OF the
stability of present prosperity Re-
publican Exchange.
This "enormous demand" referred to
shows the anxiety for investment owing
to the abundance of money at the
money centres. 1t does not indicate
"the country's great prosperity" for
their investments are not in industrial
channels, being merely speculative.
When money is not in demand for
new productive enterprises it accumu-
lates in the financial centres. This &C.
emulation has been the condition for
some time, and hence the cheapness OF
money as shown in the low rates
of interest. These low rates of
interest have induced speculation in
bonds and securities, which unlike time
and real estate mortgages, are readily
convertible, and so can be better used
to meet emergencies.
Under gold standard certain securities
appreciate as the money appreciates
and so are sought for investment. The
savings banks east are glad now to In
vest their funds at three and four when
twenty and thirty years ago they readily
got six and seven per cent. Times have
changed and men have changed with
them.
No doubt the increase of our exports,
owing to the demand abroad for our
farm products, and our cheap iron and
steel, etc, has helped railways by great.
ly increasing their business, and 80 has
improved their stocks and bonds and
made them more desirable for invest.
ment. Under such circumstances Wal
street operators are ready to 60 in. But
it may be remembered that, as a rule,
stocks are precarious.
These stock speculations are deceiv-
ing. 1t is not ''the people" who are
investing in Wall street, any more than
it was the people who really invested in
the United States bonds of late. In
short, "our country's great prosperity"
must depend upon industrial lines, not
on stock speculations among the bulls
and bears of Wall street.

Our volunteers are being turned to &C,
count in the Philippines, according to
the following from the Chicago Record Z
Washington correspondent, who is Viii,
liam K. Curtis:
Some weeks agoSecretary Wilson call.
ed upon Secretary Alger to recommend
an army off ser competent to make a
scientific investigation of the agricultu-
raj resources and conditions of the
Philippine islands. Among the officers
of California regiment now at Manila
was found l. eat, Hayne, who had been
professor in the stale agricultural COL
lege at Berkeley, Gal He has distin.
guished himself in botany, is an all
around practical scientist and bears high
testimonials from that institution. After
making inquiry into his competency
Secretary Wilson forwarded him in
structions under which Lieut.. Hayne has
organized a staff of fifty men, scientists
and practical farmers, horticu turists,
botanists, meteorologists, omoloVists,
etc whom he fonnd among the officers
and soldiers of the volunteer giments
He has equipped them with cameras
and other necessary appliances and
proposes to have them make thorough
survey of the entire Philippine arcbipel,
ago and report on the agricultural,
pastoral, timber and her resources,
climatic conditions, commercial advan-
tages and such other information as
may enable the government and the
people of the United S ates fully to un.
derstand The character and value of our
new possessions.

A Washington dispatch says the
American claims for damages In Cuba
and other Spanish possessions now
amount to $26. 600, 600, which have been
fled with the state department and
many more millions will be added. A
commission will be appointed by Con-
gress to hear and determine these
claims. 1t is likely they will be bought
up by syndicate, and then look out
for the lobby. These claims will prob
ably run up the cash payments under
the treaty OF $50, 900, 900, including the
500, 900, 600 to be paid Spain.

STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY JANUARY s. 1899
PLANS OF THE ANrr-ExpANsroNrsrs.

The anti.expansionists are arranging
Tor a vigorous campaign, not with q
view to prevent ratification Of the treaty
but to bring pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to prevent the colonial policy OF
the administration, or what they think
it will favor. They do not favor giving
the islands back to Spain, but will urge
their independence under arrangements
as soon as possible, and require them to
assume the $20,OO0,OOO awarded Spain
as indemnity by the treaty Of peace.
They advocate the same plan towards
Cuba and Porto Rico. They would not
oppose annexation Of Porto Rico II the
inhabitants should voluntarily, and with
unsnmity make application. They will
be asked to cede land for coaling and re.
pair stations for the navy, and to enter
into favorable commercial arrangements
with as, giving the United States q
monopoly, or great advantage in the
trade.
The first step probably will be to pre-.
vent the enactment OF the pending bill
to increase the regular army, for the
reason that 1t will not be necessary un.
der the policy they favor. In place Of
1t they will favor and offer bill to en-
list 10000 men for two years, by which
time they believe the islands will be
able to take care of them selves. They
see danger in a standing army of 1O0, 600
which may be used to intimidate our
own people, as to the rights of organized
labor and the free exercise of suffrage
at the polls. They fear the use of the
military and point to South America as
a warning. They prefer to be on the
safe side, and believe in conading in the
people.
Under annexation they say there
would be danger from immigration. As
colonists the Filipinos would have free
access, entitled to hospitality in the
country, and might increase our labor
troubles for they would be seeking EN-.
ployment. Let us not increase these
dangers, but guard against them.
Several senators and members of the
house are preparing speeches on these
points. There is likely to be consider,
able discussion in Congress on these
questions and we have confidence tha
matters will be fairly well arranged
Such no doubt is the desire generally.

A Washington special will be read with
interest in this city where live the parents
Of several brave boys who laid down their
lives for ther country in the fever in.
footed districts about Santiago de Cuba.
The special reeds:
Colonel o. V. Hard of the Eighth Ohio
was genuiuely astonished man this
morning when he read that Quarter
master General Ludington had completed
all arrangements for bringing home tho
bodies of soldiers who died in Cuba. Yes
tsrday afternoon he was given ipforma-
tion the exact opposite of that.
"I'm going up tomorrow to find out
what is the truth" said the colonel.
"Col. Flood Of the quarterm aster's de-
partment told me that nothing would
be done in this matter until February.
This morning read instructions how to
proceed In detail. The parents Of these
boys are almost wild on the subject. The
Eighth buried twenty We at Santiago.
1t is provoking to be misled by the men
who ought to know what they are talk.
ing about or to keep still If they don't
know any thing. 1t has been impossible
to learn anything by writing. These
parents write to me. but I can't make
them believe that there is such ignorance
or lying at the war departm ent us I have
run across"
The colonel Is much interested in the
revelations concerning the alleged fresh
beef. He says it never smelled tainted,
but what was given them was not fresh
beef. What they got was tasteless and
stringy. His description tallIes exactly
with that given In the inspectors report
made public today by the war inyestiga
ting con mission, which was submitted by
| General Miles.
