that he will be released soon.

vention of the Amalgamated As.jo-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work

has been over 25 years since the as
sociation met here, and it goes with
out saying that the delegates will be
accorded every courtesy and accommo-
dation. Governor Nash and State
Shop Inspector j. Fl. Morgan, former
amalgamated officer, united with the
city officials and board of trade in the
movement to land the convention.
The majority of the delegates from the

A safe rule for all anti-saloon voters
and Prohibitionists to adopt is this:
Never vote Tor any political party
that upholds tax or license for the Ii
quor trafSc. or that seeks the saloon
vote and has saloon men and brew
ers in its ranks and let all christians
stand by the church declaration, which
says, "The liquor traffic cannot be le-
galized without SIM" and vote accord
ingly. When these rules are observed
1t will not be long until we shall see
christians, anti-saloon men and Pro-
hibitionists. standing shoulder to
shoulder. voting against saloon poll
itics, and victory for the home perching
upon our banners, and we be indeed
and in truth free people. A three

bitionists vote as they pray, "the sa-

Fifth, to doctor a smallpox patient,

and license parties.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-05-06

The greatest success OF local option
We know of In this country. is In
Quincy, Mass, where Hon. Henry III.
PaXon, the great Prohibitionist, lives
He always aids local option, but never
falls to vote the straight Prohibition
ticket. He says:"We cannot get the
saloon out Of politics as long as we
get our, politics out of the saloon"
All loyal Prohibitionists agree that
Mr.. Paxon acts wisely and therefore
he and other Prohibitionists refuse to
vote for any tax or license party; all
such parties are the bulwarks of the
saloon.
AS true patriots and loyal Prohibi-
tionists we cannot stake our all on
local option. for these reasons:
First. all such elections are tacit
admission, that the saloon has as
much claim to legal protection as has
the home; It is only a question which
can get the most votes.
Second, It is the source of continual
strife as either party can demand an
other election within two years
Third, It eases the conscience of a
few within the local option district,
while the great national political IL
quor parties are kept In power In the
state and In the nation and are ex-
tending the deadly upas poison OF the

AFTER THE SMELTER TRUST.

In starting proceedings against the
smelter trust the State of Colorado has
instituted a proceeding which will re-
ceive the hearty endorsement of all who
are interested in the mining industry,
says the Salt Lake Herald. Thai there
is a smelter trust it seems almost idle to
deny. The combination absolutely con-
trolls the mining of practically all the
metals, for it can exact what 1t pleases
for the treatment of ores.
Smelter plants are expensive. Few
Individual mines are wealthy enough to
eli ect them and continue them in opera
ton. 1t follows as a sequence that the
men who dig the ore from the hills must
submit as best they may to whatever
extortion the trust chooses to practice.
Tie smelter coml inc is one of the most
powerful organizations in the West. Not
only does it fix the charges for treating
ore tut it joins with the railroad com
pany in fixing freight rates to individ-
ual shippers at so high a figure that it
is impossible for them to send their
product to independent concerns.
When the American Smelling and Re-
iinlng Company was organized it took
over a number of plants that were prac-
tically worthless. For each n of these
exhcrbitant prices in stock were paid.
Yet the trust manages to pay heavy divi-
dends on it's watered stock. And the
miner is the man who pays the bills.
In the first place he is paid as little for
tine ore as he can possibly stand and then
various excuses are offered for docking
him and reducing his profits still more.
If Colorado is successful in breaking
up this combination it will nave accom-
piisl,ed something of inestimable value
&c the entire West. Utah, Idaho, Nevada.
NY oming. Montana, Arizona, all the
States which are adding to the mineral
wer)th of the wo lid will be interested
ir the proceeding. There never was a
clearer case of unlawfu monopoly. If it
is properly presented the State should
win it's fight.
This trust has had it's own way out here
foc SO long that an intimation of another
order of things is likely to cause som
c,nsternation among the American
Smelling and Refining Company's offic-
ials. There is no doubt but that with
a reasonable amount of smelter compe-
tition ores of every grade will bring
higher prices and mines which canno
now be operated on account of the treat
meEr charges will be made to pay divi-
dends to their owners.

STRIKERS WINNING.

Strikers lately seem to be winning
their contentious, or at least gaining a
portion of their demands.
At Great Falls, Montana, all the strik-
ing machinists of the Montana Central
shops nave returned to work, they hay
ing got an advance in wages of fifteen
cents a day. The strike was on for two
months.
Several hundred girls and $50 men have
returned to work on the plant of the Nc
Mahon Cracker & Bakery Company, in
Chicago, having been granted every
thing they demanded.
The box makers in Chicago, who ave
been on a strike since last May, AVE
compromised, receiving the best of the
terms. The strike affected 225 men.
A threatened strike of 10000 lumber
teamsters to support a demand for an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages and time
and a half for overtime and recognition
of the organization was averted in Chi
cago by the officials of the

Der dealers were willing to pay the ad-

Nineteen years ago there came to

with his wife and family for nineteen
years, during which period he and his

where Tom frequently stopped when in

that never saw kinder hearted man

When the strike was declared lat 900
men and boys quit work. The sus-
pension threw 10000 raiIroaders and
men engaged in other occupations out

compelled factories to suspend in many
places, and it is estimated in the clos
ing weeks of the strike fully 100000
men and boys were idle by reason of
the suspension of coal mining.
