CLEVELAND coNeRATuLATEs AKRON,
(Cleveland Leader !

The Census bureau has announced
the population of Akron as 42,7S2, a
gain of 1927, or 54.s1 per cent, since
1890. This is the first of the smaller
manufacturing cities Of Northeastern
Ohio whose population has been re-
ported under the new census, but the
remarkable gain shown will surprise
nobody who has watched the growth of
these centers Of industrial enterprises.
During the past ten years there has
been a wonderful development in this
section of Ohio. Akron, Canton,
Youngstown, Loraln. Massillon, and
many of the smaller cities have been
growing at an amazing rate, both in
population and material advancement,
and the growth has been, moreover, of
a sort which will be permanent.
Cleveland congratulates Akron, and
It hopes II Will have equal cause to
congratulate all the other cities in
Northeastern Ohio.

Therefore England, according to our
Presidents statement, paid us about

the past three years for necessaries.
England then, with a total circulation
of about $1,O00O00,000 dollars, has

gold, silver, and paper, and $2OO'OOo,-
900, she did not possess besides, to
square accounts with us.
Having drained themselves OF all
their money to pay us for beef, wheat
etc, 1t must be clear to the most slug
gish mind that the people of England
must now starve. This is the logical
result Of Republican argument.
But what are the facts as proved
by the Monthly Summary of Com
merce and Finance of theBnited States
for May, 1900, page 1856. issued by the
Treasury department. The Summary
shows that instead of exports exceed
ing imports 100000, it was ac'
tually S1,e1e,ooo,o0o, during the three
years mentioned In the Mckinley
platform. That Is, we got rich more
rapidly than was claimed by even
Hanna himself, If shipping wealth
abroad is equivalent to getting riches
Now as we have sent abroad more
wealth than we have received, to the
amount above noted, the question
arises, what did we send it away for
And what will we get for 1t? II we
had received pure gold" 1t woulo
have added that much to our present

is foolish enough to say that our cir

We would like to see some OF tina

of exports over imports has gone t.

'EIks' Carnival Is Progressing
Successfully.

At 10 o'clock Wednesday night nearly
1900 people craned their necks up
ward to witness the most miraculous
feat of tight wire walking ever given
In this city. Eighty feet above the
heady of the crowds appear Herr Bren-
ade and Madame Fedora upon wire
stretched between two trees. They
play upon the wire like two school
children out for frolie and their ex-
hibition borders upon the supernatural.
The two artists transform themselves
into an elephant by throwing an envel-
oping robe about them and the crowds
below can not tell the makeup from
the real jumbo.
The high-wire act concludes by a
splendid display Of fire works in
which the artists appear balancing up
on a slender thread beneath them.
This wonderful attraction is one of
the free sights at the Elks' Carnival.
| Alone 1t is worth the price of admis-
| sion. The wire-wallkers appear In the
| afternoon and evening.
Many people are gazing down the
six.foot shaft into the classic counte-
nance of Prof. James Smith. He has
| slumbered away over one-half of his
long weeks sleep with no sign OF
awakening. The careful observer car
| detect his breathing. That, alone, is
the only sign of life.
Every moment of the day guard
stands at the head of the mound to sec
that no harm befalls the man in the
pine box below.
| For Prof. Smith, the resurrection
morn will be at 4.30 o'clock Sunday
| afternoon. At that hour his body viii
| be exhumed and after being carried into
the Casino he will step from the rough
box alive and well. From the stage
| be will relate his underground exper
| fences and answer any questions whcl
may be asked.

Private swinging parties are becoming
popular and are destined to be one OF
the carnivars most interesting fea
lures.
The museum of living wonders is al
excellent place to spend an hour with
great profit to old and young. Only the
rarest birds, animals and reptiles ar,
shown. The largest snakes, the larges
and smallest of the monkey tribe, q
genuine gorilla, a beautiful wild cat
besides numerous South American
birds make up show that can not b,
equaled. In addition to this, Prof
Taylor performs wonderful feats o.
jugglery that cannot fail to please
The Romany Gypsy camp, the Elec
trio theater, the German Village, tn,
Oriental theater aud Dado, the Wit
man, are all meeting with the best Of

Lunette, the flying lady and La Berta

of sufficient size to accommodate tn

possible, principle of political econ
omy which in the hands of our polit.
ical opponents has become one Of the
most perncious humbugs that ever

Republicans take special delight in
doping the farmer with their foreign
trade statistics. Republican leaders
and press by persistent misrepresen-
tation and deliberate falsehoods have
succeeded in making the majority Of
our people believe that we. as a ma
ton, are waxing rich exporting more
than We import.
That is to say, we are getting rich
sending more to the foreigner than we
bring back from the foreigner. In
plain English we are getting rich TAX
ing more out of our pockets than we
put in. From the foundation of our
government to June 30, 1878, we were
an importing nation, importing with
in that period wealth, merchandise,
gold and silver amounting to $1,193,-
900, 900. This was wealth added to the
nation.
Now read the Hanna platform on
this point "In the short three years
of the present Republican Administra'
ton there has been an excess OF ex'
ports over imports in the enormous
sum of 81 ,4S3, ,OOO,O
Here we have the spectacle of these

ple believe that 1t is shrewd business

exports and imports. Foreign nations
were owing us a large sum of money
and it was destined for Mr.. Mckin
