RoosEvELT's PANIC.

Dun's report issued October !
shows that during the year 1908 up to
September 80 there had been 1886
failures aggregating $179,677,523 of
defaulted Indebtedness, as compared
with 5000 failures involving $116,036,
848 defaulted indebtedness during the
same period of 1907. How the Repub'
licans papers would howl about 1t If
Grover Cleveland were president now
With increased number of failures,
and increased volume of loss from
such failures during this year Presi'
dent Roosevelt had the grewsome
hardihood to say IN one OF his recent
edicts commanding the people to vote
for the heir apparent, that If Bryan is
elected 1--WE will have panic"
What does Roosevelt call the kind
of prosperity" he has given the
country the past year? Every branch
of the government has been under his
control, and his "heir apparent" is q
candidate to succeed him to continue
his policies.
Bryan's election could not cause
panic. We have panic now, and II
is ROOSEVELT'S PANIC.
Bryan's election would stop ROOSE
vELT'S PANIC by restoring the rule
of the people.

LOWER DUTIES NEVER.

1t ought to be unnecessary to intro
duce The American Economist" or
gan of the Protective Tariff League.
1t is the gospel of the standpatters,
and outside of the trust experts
themselves the potent dictator of the
schedules of duties. Chief of it's ex-
ecutive board is former Governor Her
rick, of Ohio, now conspicuous in Ma
tional committee activity. 1t defends
Speaker Cannon and inveighed
against the Roosevelt choice of Mr..
Taft, because he had shown the petty
taint of advocating lower Philippine
duties. Here is it's latest fulmina-
ton:
According to the clear language
and plain purport of the Republican
platform, the basis of all duties must
be normal and adequate protection
first, last and all the time. On that
basis there can be no reciprocity
treaties. The door Is closed, as 1t
should be, against tariff reduction in
the interest of more foreign trade.
stances, be levied; lower duties, never.
And unless We consent to lower our
duties below the line of normal and
adequate Hrotection-the protection
that provides for "a reasonable profit
to American industries'-we cannot
enter into any reciprocity arrange
ments at all.
That is the authentic. and likewise
defiant, chart of the now dominant
wing of the Republican ticket. There
is to be no reduction, but only in
creases McKinley's Buffalo speech for
reciprocity is expunged from the
party creed. The denunciation by
Dalzell, Fordney and Payne, OF the
ways and means committee, of the
German trade agreement is Endorsed.
This is the real Republican tariff
plank, and it spells not revision but
simply the enactment of a new list
of maximum duties. Foreign trade is
prohibited and the home market tal-
lacy galvanized into life.
The same periodical, despite con,
stant admonitions from honest Repub'
licans, still charges the panic of 1893
upon the Wilson-Gorman bill enacted
IA months later, and it still cites Mr.
Cleveland's indignant note to that un'
signed bill, as If his complaint was
that its duties were not higher, in,
stead of not lower, as any honest
man with his own brain knows.

TIA GAS question.


Whether Canton will have cheaper
gas, pay the present rate, or still
higher one. Is soon to be determined
by the members of the city council.
There is no denying the fact that nat
ural gas is a great convenience to the
citizens of Canton, and If 1t were
abolished rlSch suffering and incon-
venience would follow. The question,
therefore arises whether the East Ohio
Gas company can furnish gas at the
twenty-five cent rate, proposed by the
council, and make fair return on
its capital invested. The proper meth
cd to be pursued by the East Ohio
Gas company, we think. is for the Of
ficials to let the members of the coun-
Gil make careful inspection of its
books, and give such information upon
which the members of that body can
obtain reliable information. One of
the questions that has arisen in the
controversy is that the gas company
is supplying its product to some parties
cheaper than to others. The company
meets this charge, by stating that 1T
sells only it's surplus-which would
otherwise go to waste or remain un-
used. If this is the case, as the
company states. 1t is only fair to state
that there is no discrimination by the
company among their consumers,
Whether these arguments pro and con
are true or false, the members OF the
council should take plenty of time to
properly investigate the entire situa-
ton before acting. The most import
ant thing Of all has been. it seems,
wholly neglected, and that is provid-
ing for q fair and thorough public in
spection of meters. The people Of
Canton no doubt want to be fair with
the officials of the gas company, and
they have a right to expect the same
treatment from them. They are will
ing to pay fair price for What they
get, but should not be asked to pay
for something they are not getting. II
twenty-five cents is not fair price,
they should pay. and are no doubt
willing to pay, figure that Is fairly
remunerative to the company. But no
price is either fair or even cheap, if
It pays for one-half gas and the other
half air. A disinterested and reliable
inspection of meters would show
whether they are accurate and we are
getting the genuine article or only a
mixture. This safeguard the public
is entitled to and the company should
not object.

BOOK TRUST UNDER FIRE.

According to dispatch from Mime
issue of the News" the American
Book Trust is under fire in that city,
and the grand jury is investigating the
charge that the trust is taxing the
people at least twice as much for
school books. as they are furnishing
the same for in some other cities.
The secretary of the Minneapolis
school board has already been indict-
ed for bribery and has admitted that
he has received a hundred dollars a
head for every teacher that secured a
position in the Minneapolis schools.
For many years past the News" has
openly charged that Just such a condi-
tion of affairs exists in many cities in
ties names were given and the
charges were never refuted. A short
time ago the charge was openly made
by a Columbus paper that majority
of the nominees for representatives
and senators on the Republican ticket
secured their nominations through the
influence of the book trust According
to recent developments, these charges
are apparently true. 1t remains for
the voters to carefully scan their tick
cts on election day and vote against
any candidates that are supposed to be
under the domination Of that powerful
trust

years to state and national, and lis

operators to get me ten cent ad-

our condition was true. His standing
and fighting for the last twenty years
brought the United Mine Workers from
sixty thousand to three hundred and

when Mr.. Mitchell asks you to sup

A HEARTFELT PROMISE.

Dear Voters:
Yes, we will revise the tariff just as
soon as we have time;
Though twill be a shame to change
it-aye, a shame, If not crime;
We will make IL up, removing semi
colons here and there;
This is not an empty promise; we
have made it on the square;
Surely we may both be trusted; as
our records plainly show;
Who can hesitate, snspecting Sunny
Jim" or Uncle JOe?"
Well revise the good old tariff-we
declare II here and now;
There are several concessions we shall
graciously allow,
And II while we scan the schedules
we discover now and then
Something needing more protection.
we viii grant it, gentlemen;
We are out to keep the promise that
we made SO long ago
And remain
Aftectionately.
Sunny Jim and Uncle Joe.

DO THE PEOPLE RULE2

After the excitement over the pub
iication of the Standard Oil letters,
showing that trusts control leglsla-
tion, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the char
of sensational publications, what will
be the logical conclusion In the minds
of the voters? It will be:
I. That the people do not rule, be-
cause the national lawmakers lesis-
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they prae-
tice more extortion.
2. That the party in power is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party Is now In power.
It writes all the national laws. In
speech in the last Congress, Mr.. Sher-
man candidate for Vice President)
declared that the Republican party as
sumed full responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is right. The
Republican votes. If the magnates
are not punished crimlnalIy, 1t is be-
cause the Republican officials fail in
their duties. For eleven years the
Democrats have had no power to
execute a Federal statute. II every
thing in America is all right, as to
Federal laws, for eleven years, the Re-
publican party deserves the credit. If
"eViIs have crept in" the Republicans
are responsible. The only hope for a
change lies in the election Of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by a trust. He
could not get law passed, he could
not give an Immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority of the Republican
congressman favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators cannot
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been en-
pIoyed by a trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence and
fatness to Republican laws and Re-
publican officials.

No three words in the dictionary
mean so much when put together as
the ringing epigram OF Judson Har-
mons speech at Mansfield-"SUP-
PRESTON IS CONFESSION"
1t is an epigram which applies to
the refusal of state officials to an
swer questions and produce books and
papers to committees representing the
people legally authorized to examine
their Offices.
SUPPRESSION is CONFESS
SION" applies to the presence of Gov
crnor Harris at secret conferences of
Auditor Guilbert, Attorney General
Ellis and Republican leaders in the
legislature, as published at the time
in the Republican Ohio State Journal,
to devise some scheme for side-track-
ing the peoples representatives, who
were asking questions McKinnOn,
Green and Guilbert answered inso-
lently or refused to answer.
SUPPRESSION IS COMES
SION" will apply to the probe into
Cox's government, denounced by Taft
at Akron three years ago, but con-
doned by Taft this year, although that
probe put $214,000 back into the pub
lie treasury before it was stopped by
Cox-made judges, afterwards approved
by the same Supreme Judges Shauck
and Price, who are candidates for re,
election this fall-Shauck for third
term.
If Judge Harmon is elected COVER
nor there will be no suppression.
There may be some confession from
those who are working like beavers
to elect Green, Denman, Fullington
Price, Shauck, Kirtley, Baldwin and
other henchmen of the Cox-Brown,
Guilbert machine, while Governor
Harris does their bidding by trying
to distract the attention of the people
with his temperance issue-Harris,
the wet" candidate for lieutenant
governor in 1905.
1t is for the people of Ohio to de,
eide whether they prefer more sup
preston, or whether they will clothe
Judge Harmon with power as their
governor to wiring confession from
those who are keeping themselves
concealed behind the governors "tem
perance" cloak.
