AGAINST LABOR.
Republican Candidate
Sherman, Makes a
Speech Against La.
Dor Unions.

"In our plant at Barberton $50
employ ees are today producing as
many matches as 5000 men in 80
factories did score of years ago,
when the corporation was first
formed. This Is the result of
labor-saving machinery. 1t has
reduced the cost of production and
likewise the price of matches.
"Each succeeding year in the
history of the organization more
money has been made. Although
the cost of raw material and Labor
has been increased, labor.saving
devices and increased demands
have made the earnings Of the
corporation greater. We have al.
ways allowed competition and
treated all fairly, but we have
made as much money as we possi-
bly, could. Today our Barberton
plant alone produces 60 per cent.
more matches than all the factories
combined ut the time of the com
blnation.
zone of the main reasons for
success of the Diamond Match
company is that its directors have
never tolerated union labor in its
shops. They have always been
open. We have had no one to
dictate to US what wages we shall
pay, what men we shall hire and
what hours our employees shall
work. Labor unions today are
composed largely of anarchists
socialists and demagogues.
"During the recent financial
panic Akron was the most pros
porous city of its size in the
United States. This, to more
than other fact, was due to the
open shop. The manufacturers of
Akron run their factories and as
result have the biggest concerns
of their kind in the country.
cit is not monopolies that stand
against the advancement of the
country. They are the public
benefactors. They are responsible
for the advancement of wages.
"We hear much about the
classes and the masses. The
greatest number of organized
laborers Samuel Gompers ever had
under him was 100000 men.
This is country of eighty millions
of people. The union men are
therefore the classes and the re-
mainder are the masses. And it
is these classes that are the real
tyrants of the country.
"Laborers will get just compen-
sation for their work from the
large corporations. l have nothing
against unions organized for the
betterment of the working classes,
but unions fail to confine their
to this. They resort to

But the governor has $50, 900 OF
these cheap state funds in banks
he owns stock in it. If he is swift
to impute bad motives to me with
reference to matters which could
not affect me personally, the
voters may ask whether his inter
est in these banks has anything to
do with his singular conduct
about graft in the deposit OF the
state funds.
One of the banks in which the
state officials own stock is the Co.
lumbus Sayings and Trust com
pany. 1t has sign high as a
house, white by day and bright by
night, visible all oyer the city,
which offers per cent interest on
deposits. 1t has state funds at
only q per cent. Was the COVER
nor's inability to see this sign, the
voters may ask, due to his own
bank having the states money at
% per cent?
The investigation, some of
whose seasons the governor attend
ed, brought out the fact that the
citv of Columbus was getting 81
per cent interest on it's funds from
the Columbus banks at the same
time the state was getting only p
per cent; and that the city of
Cleveland was getting almost 4
per cent from Cleveland banks,
while the state was getting only
q per cent from the Cleveland
banks. Was the governor silent
about this wrong against them,
the taxpayers may ask, because
his own banks were paying the
state only q per cent?
When the treasurer, though
twice requested by unanimous
vote of the house of representa-
tives, refused tc give the names of
the banks having deposits of state
funds, with rates of interests, etc.,
was it because he was himself
stock holder in one of those banks,
the people may ask, that the
governors suspicious were not
aroused or fell asleep 80 quickly
When the depositing officials told
the committee appointed by the
unanimous vote of the senate that
it was "none of their business
whether they owned stock in banks
in which they deposited the state
funds, was it his ownership of
stock In two of these banks, the
governor may be asked, which |
made this astonishing conduct of
no significance to him? When the
tricks were exposed by which the
banks in which the treasurer.
auditor and their woul.be deputy
successors owned stock were
given the use of large amounts of
taxpayers money without any
interest at all, was the governors

were enjoying the use of state
funds cheaply the reason, the tax.

not reused to protest or even to

Great as the Governors new
born zeal may be in matters which
are not and cannot be in issue
between my party and his, because
they are essentially non-partisan,
he cannot hide behind them from
the question why he did not
discover this graft or lift hand or
voice against it when the proofs
laid before his eyes.

Later the Greeks and Romans also
recognized the Strengthening and
tonic effects of sour milk, and they
performed veritable cures with the
special kind of curdIed milk called
'schiston."
In our times fermented milk is in
common use as a daily diet in East

countries, besides being used as a
food, sour milk has pla. ed and still
plays a great part in empirical medi-

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
! Touching a Suicides Hand Was
Though a Cure for Sickness.

In former times il was a common
notion that. if sick person, could
only touch the hand of a suicide, he
or she would be cured
This superstition was especially
common in the west of England; in
Cornwall, touching a suicides hand
was said to have once cured a young
man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. A
similar superstition regarding the
touch of executed criminals has been
idely prevalent and has often been
recorded.
Robert Hunt in his "Romances of
the West England says that he
once saw a young woman led to the
scaffold at Newgate to have a wen
touched by the hand of a man who
had just been executed.
At NORTHAMPTON of old the hang
man is said to have had a regular
fee for according a similar "priVi-
lsge" to the sufferers from like dis
orders. Even the coffin of a suicide
may have curative value.
There is a Devonshire belief to
the effect that, If any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw a
white handkerchief on such a coffin
at the time Oi its interment, the
disease will vanish a. the handker-
chief decays,
Much superstitioLs value has been
attached to the knots of the ropes
used either by a suicide or in the
execution of a criminal.
