WILL FIGHT TRUST
independents Will Begin Ac-
tion for Alleged Violation Of
Sherm an Law.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-The Independent
cigar manufacturers of the country
are preparing to begin legal action
against the tobacco trust, for alleged
violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
The suit probably will be filed in
the United States circuit court of the
northern district Of Illinois. The
points the independent manufacturers
hope to prove are: That an agree
ment exists between four companies
to control the tobacco trade; that the
combination in its effect will throttle
competition; that it tries to fix prices.
without regard to supply and demand
and that it has demoralized the trade,
causing heavy losses to all concerned.

News and Comments
Wages In England.

In the official journal of the Cham
.ber of Commerce OF London, portions
of which are made public by the bu-
reau of statistics Of the United States
treasury department, are figures an,
data showing that for the first timc
since 1856 there was in 1901, fall in the
total wages OF British workmen. In
1901, the Chamber OF Commerce Jour
nal computes, there was decrease /
wages of 1,5S4,000 pounds against an
increase in 1900 of about 5000, 900
pounds. Thus far in 1902 the downward
tendency has continued SO that the. end
Of the year will doubtless show a fur
ther recession of the total wages from
the highest figures OF 1901. The wage
question in the United States being of
great concern at the present time, All
one which is to play an important part
in the country's evolution of the i'm
mediate future, 1t will serve the bee
interests of everyone If the public can
be induced to take more of a super
fetal view of the wage solution, boz

w. ]. Foley, Of East Palestine, in
circulars sent to the voters Of the
Eighteenth district gives concise
statement Of his position upon the va
rious questions incident to the pres
ent campaign. Mr. Foley's attitude in
every case is a commendable one and
his declaration should appeal to every
fair minded citizen in the district The
circular says in part:
/ believe in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and will vote to maintain it,
i believe in equal justice to all and
special privileges to none.
l believe in the maintenance of law
and order, at all times and under all
circumstances.
do not believe in imposition Of any
kind.
believe in placing man above a
dollar and not below it.
believe in giving an honest days
work for an honest days pay.
/ believe in Democracy and Demo-
cratlc principles.
do not believe in making our coun-
try the dumping ground for the un-
desirable of other nations and will
vote for restricted emigration.
am opposed to any and all kinds
Of trusts as they lead to destroy fair
competition as buyers or sellers.
/ believe in and will vote for the
appointment Of a national board of ar
bitration, to which every dispute be-
tween capital and labor shall be
brought for settlement and that their
decision shall be final and effective
for not less than one year.

them when elected.
/ believe that the diversified inter-
ests of this district commercial, manu-
featuring, agriculture, educational and
labor in all of its forms can be taken
as a fair standard for like territory in
any section Of the country and that
which advances it's interests will ad-
vance the interests of all other sec
tions and that which will work hard
ship on 1t will be detrimental to the
country at large
Last but not least pledge myself, if
elected, to use my best efforts at all
times to forward and maintain the in
terests OF my constituents in every
way within my power

a Jesse w. Teeters, Of Alliance, re-
tired farmer, is the Democratic candi-
date for county commissioner. Mr..
Teeters, himself one Of the oldest ma
tives. Of Stark county, Is the son OF
a Stark county pioneer; Elisha Teet-
fers left Columbiana county in August
in 1885, settling on big farm about
two miles northwest Of what Is now
Alliance. On June 5, 1886, Jesse w.
Teeters was born. He lived on his
fathers farm until October 1, 1901.
when he sold the farm and moved to
Alliance.
Mr.. Teeters although never having
been heretofore q candidate for q
county Office. has been several times
assessor in Lexington township. He
has been member of the
Stark county agricultural board
for six year and is now
chairman of the trustees OF the
Fairmont Children's home. Mr.. Teet-
ers is willing to follow in the foot
steps of his father, who was county
commissioner in the early '60's.

If there were no other issue az
stake in Stark county this fall than a
tax equalization, which will bring the
railroads up to their proper figure, it
should be sufficient to bring hundreds
of recruits to the Democratic ranks.
This is the very thing that johnson
has been making his splendid fight
upon; this idea Of putting corporations
where they belong on the tax dupli-
cate and removing the unjust burden
from the small tax payers. The
figures show that railroads in Stark
are assessed at only 21.3 per cent of
their true valuation, while the electric
lines are much lower. 1t is manifest
that II these assessments were packed
up to their proper figure the general
tax rate would be much lower and the
necessity Of Issuing county and mu-
nicipal bonds on all occasions OF public
improvement would be obviated.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-10-31

Figures are given in the news col
umns showing that Stark county losses
in taxes are over 100000 every year
because of the low valuation placed
upon steam railroads alone, and there
is also a great loss in what the electric
lines should pay. The Fort Wayne
road is taxed at about 21 per cent,
while the valuation of the Canton
Massillon Electric line is but little
over 4 per cent.
This condition of things was COM
mented upon by Tom Johnson when
he was in this city, but the local ap-
plication was not made in detail. Not
only is there inequality in the valua-
tion of railroads as compared with
the smaller properties in the county,
but there is general complaint that
the large manufacturing plants escape
a great art OF the burden. Every dol
lar that is lodged by one class is sad
died upon another. The result is that
while some are paying practically
nothing, the burden upon the small
home owner and the farmer is becom-
ing almost nnbearable.
People who own homes complain
that by the time they pay their taxes,
keep up repairs, calculate the interest
on their money, pay street improve
ment assessments, water rents, etc
that it is cheaper to rent.
There should be some change in the
methods of taxation. The burdens
should be more equally divided. 1t is
apparent from the restlessness mani
tested that this very subject will make
itself manifest at the oils next Tues
day. II it does, the Republican party,
which has been in power these many
years, will have itself to blame for
results.

H. B. Sibila, now one of the Justices
Of the peace in Massillon, is the Dem
ocratic choice for probate Judge Of
Stark county. Squire Sibila, as he is
known to all Massillon. was born in
that town and has lived in Stark coun-
ty all his life. He was born on May
8, 1862 His parents were German and
the son retains their ability to speak
that language.
Squire Sibila has been a most en-
thusiastic labor man. He was a cigar
maker and has. been a member o +
the cigarmakers' union since 1883.
Since that time he has held every Of
fee in the gift of the union. At the
present time Squire Sibila is presi-
dent Of the Massillon Trades and La
bor assembly, the central body Of that
city.

The campaign in Cuyahoga county is
attracting national attention. Hanna
and Johnson are both on the ground
attempting to build up what the other
tears down. Epithets' are hurled back
and forth each night and the lie has
been freely passed. Both men stand
accused of some of the worst things
in the calendar of political. crime 1t
is rather unfortunate that state issues
in Cuyahoga should be reduced to a
personal basis. Whether or not Tom
Johnson has paid his back taxes is
really no reason for believing that his
single tax system is wrong, and be-
cause Hanna has waxed fat off mu-

James Kennedy's appearance before
an, Alliance audience the other night
was Just about as much of a frost as
his debut in Canton. Some honest
Republican should go to Kennedy
and tell him that as a speech maker
he is menace to that party and a
boon to Eighteenth district Democra-
cy.
Where Kennedy went wrong In Al
lance was in abusing Duffy. He
should have tact enough to know that
the laboring element Of his audience
would not endorse such an attack.
When candidate, who is known tc
be antagonistic to unionism, enters q
strongly organized city like Alliance
he should talk about the crops and the
tariff. Every speech this man Ken
nedy has made in the Eighteenth dis
trict this fall has been vote-ioser
for his party. 1t has caused greater
or less number of Republican laborers
to -secede. They determine on thg
spot to vote for Duffy or Foley, who
ID known to be fully in sympathy with
hbor unions and labor union men
The trouble is. when Kennedy is able
TO say anything at all. he cannot help
revealing the fact that he is dia-
netrically opposed to trade orsaniza-
ton. He does not say so in as many
words, but the inference is unmistak-
sbls In many Of his statements. Thai

the congressional nomination in this

likely to be a hotter one than is gen.

The Mckinley Monument.

More than half million dollars has
been subscribed for the monument to
be erected at Canton to the late Pres
ident Mckinley. To be exact, $3.50, ,0Oc
has been subscribed, the subscriptions
coming from every city and state in
the union and Americans abroad con-
tributing freely to the fund. The
commissioners in charge of the work
are much gratified. They purpose to
have $650,00 subscribed before start
ing on the plans for the memorial and
now that but 100000 is lacking there
is confidence that 1t can easily be Sc
cured. The monument will, without
doubt, be the most elaborate memorial
ever designed and built in this coun-
try, and worthy tribute to the most
universally loved man who ever oc-
cupied the executive chair OF the re-
public.-Toledo Blade.

tariff. The longer the Dingley tariff
operates and the more the, trusts in
