The Philadelphia Record, discussing the millions left by the late tinplate multimillionaire W. B. Leeds, ehows how such fortunes are made by the tariff, thus: : Under the democratic tariff of 1894 thére was a duty (too high in fact) of $2O a ton on tinplate. But that was not enough to gratify the greed of the combined manufactures, and through their representative and attorney in congress, John Dalzell, they secured an increase of 50 per cent. in the Dingley tariff. The tin plate association had sent out its corruption agents with abundant supplies of money to defeat democratic members of congrest who resisted its rapacious demands, and it claimed its reward. For eyery article the tinplate trust produces,including the empty dinner pail, Ameri©oan consumers must pay tribute to monopoly. The duty is, in fact, prohibitory. During the year 1907 the importations of tinplate amounted to 64,705 tons of the value of $4,462,622. But all ihis goes back under drawback of the duty as covering of meats, oil, fish and other American exports. Foreigners get the benefit of the drawback, and American consumers continue to pay an exorbitant tribute to the trust, one of the especial favorites of republican legislation. Is there any hope of a reduction of duty on tin- _ plate should a republican majority be elected to the next congress? Not \.the slightest. SR : ' " The Boston Globe, discuissing the president’s espousal of secrecy for campaign funds antil after election, after bringing forth the usual argument, says: After election it would be perfectly safe to publish the sources of campaign funds since whatever public sentiment was aroused then would be - too late to express itself at the polls. ‘Butif we are to wait until public sentiment is able to do no more than impotently rage, why publish cam--paign contributions atall? This whole subject of campaign funds and their sources. however, has been made so interesting by continued and widespread discussion with distinctly dramatic developments, that the public curiosity can not be satisfled mnch longer with anything less than the complete confidence, before and after elections of campaign fund collectors and distribytors as to their fascinating methods of gathering and employing their aptly named sinews of war. - :s e ' The Springfield Republican agrees with the Boston Globe on publicity, and says: What an amazing argument! There is no necessity of subjecting it to extended analysis. One question only need be asked, and that 18: Why, then, should Mr. Roosevelt favor any publication of coutributions even, after the election? The demand for publicity, and such state laws as exist requiring publicity, rest chiefly upon the idea that improper motives lie behind the financial support of a political party by the wealthy representatives of special business interests, and that acceptance of such support creates a more or less recognized party obligation to such financial supporters; forit is known that honor is to be found even among thieves. Rutitseems according to Mr. Rooseyelt, that this is all a mistake. Why, then, we ask .f‘in, require publication of-contributions after any more than before the election? : SR EeE IS President Roosevelt courteously but frankly declines to accede to the request of the W. C. T. U. to prohibit baseball at the army posts on, Sundays. He believes that vigorous exercise is wholesome on Sundays as on other days, and that so long as no outsiders are disturbed,he does not think it wise to discriminate against baseball. The evil of such games is not intrinsic, but is-in the accompaniments, the betting, the quarreling, the fighting that sometimes grows out of the game. T 2 e T E : It would be difficult to commit a more egregious absurdity than is perpetrated by talk about free trade and tariff demolition. Thersis and can be no such thing as free trade in foreign goods in this country for the reason | _ that the expenses of the republic are a billion—that is to say, a thousand " million dollars a year. We must have that money every year to meet the - ordinary demands of the United States government. This vast sum can - only be gotton out of a tariff for revenue on all foreign goods imported into . this country, added to what is received from the internal revenue tax levied ~on home products. Therefore, it is an absolute impossibility for this . ecountry to maintain iuelf‘without maintaining a tariff on all foreign goods imported into the country. But such a tariff should be a tariff for revenue, and not one for the creation of monopolies to enrich the favored classes.— New Orleans Picayune. ' : S2B aaa It has repeatedly come to us that certain fellows, who put in a good portion of their time working to fasten the muuicipal ownership load upon the taxpayers, have been telling the voters that the editor of THE BANNER is to blame for the illegality of the electric light election held last December and that the mistake was made purposely. We want to characterize the statement as wholly false and to add by way of emphasis that anyone who repeats the statement is a plain unvarnished and angualified liar. We hope that this language is 8o plain that it can not be missunderstood. We were not consulted in any way or at any time by the fellows who forced the - election upon the people and set the date for the voting. In fast nobody . was taken into the confidence of the ringsters who were determined to carry their point at any cost. The election notice came to us and we ptod it strictly as prepared and according to copy furnished. In thesame - lssue we called attention to the short time for consideration of such an im- _ portant subject. In fact the election was called at the eariy date for the __express purpose of cutting off consideration of the question and to take ‘}_v nap juc gement.> They over-reached themselves and are now trying to get _ away from the responsibility. : : e o 283 888 ' : : L - \mmbﬂm campaign committee must ‘“‘need the money” from the E“nﬂe‘mﬂus are being made for funds upon every hand.

A MERITED REBUKE Palterers who "are engaged in‘the unsuccessful effort to create a big “Bryan seare’’ have had their measures taken to a nicety by a depositori in the First National Bank in' Chicago. Willis J. Abbot, in the Chicago Tribune this morning, put the case up to the alarmists by reproducing the letter in his article. He says: The following letter written to Jas. B. Forgan, president of the First National Bank of Chicago, by an interested student of his political activities this year is worth reading by every one who even casually glances over this column. I wish to explain that I did not write it,as I am not a depositor in Mr. Forgan’s bank, but I can not give the name of the writer lest its publication should embarrass him. The letter was mailed to Mr. Forgan on Monday, October 12. Any response Mr. Forgan may make to the writer, or to me direct I will be glad.to give sueh publicity as the editor of this paper may be willing to concede. The letter reads: “‘Dear Sir—You are quoted in a morning paper as asserting Mr. Bryan’s election would stagnate business. It may be brutal to. call a spade a spade in this instance, but I am going to be equally frank with you. ‘ ““You are doing in principle exactly as I (as depositor in your bank) would be doing were I to go out among your other depositors and say thas if your election were in question for another term as president of your bank: ‘Men and women, if James B. Forgan be not re-elected the First National Bank of Chicago probably wlll go into receiver’'s hands. Mr. Smith, mentioned for president of that bank, probably will ruin "the institution. lam quite sure if Mr. Smith be elected the First National will be closed.’ “What would you and your kind say in public print of -the man who went about the city peddling such stuff? , Would you excoriate him with all the expletives at your command? Wouldn’t you accuse him of ulterior motives, or desire for revenge, or prompted by somerival? . “My money is in your bank. Were I to withdraw it today and circulate disturbing rumors of the solvency of the institution, you would be right if you denounced me in unmeasured language. What are youdoing then, to the business interests of the nation. but to do in effect what I would be doing were I to pursue the hypothetical course herein outlined? - “Presume Mr. Bryan is eleeted, a 8 informe%oliticians agree is not unlikely. hat effect will. your words ‘have on the timid business men? - Will it reassure them? Willit assist in revival of trade? Will it help un‘employed workmen to get jobs? Will it accelerate industry? Or willit not be remembered by your own depositors and quoted by them one to another, as proof that they would better retrench? ~ “What are you thinking of, anyway? " Are you to become one of -the chief anarchists, striving to destroy confidence ,upon the absurd theory you enunciate in your interview of today? . : “What did Mr, Bryan do last fall when you and your kind were facing a panic? Did he takeaivantage of the conditions or did he write and speak ‘warmly to reassure the people who follow him politically? I'll tell you ‘what he did. He exerted the great power of his leadetﬁhip to quiet depositors’ fears. Hé advised them to leave their money in the banks; he advised me to do 80, advised me personally for I saw him during those days, and this is what he said to me: .

. “‘This is not the time to gain par tisan advantage. Itis the time for every patriot and honest man in the: country to place country above party to do this first because of the whole people, rich and poor, and secondly because of the laboring men, who are out of work, and who must bear the main part of the burden which will result from this panic. Help the banks now, help them by leaving your dollars in the bank.’ . ‘I dare not reveal to. you my name. You might not like me so well after I did as you do now, because you have the free use of my money to loan to others. I have always been loyal to yvour institustion. Why will you strain my loyalty and that of thousands of others of like mind? ‘‘Again to be brutal—l don’t believe you believe what you say. I think you are trying to fool people. I believe you know business will proceed smooti 1y if either Bryan or Taft be elected. ““Believing these things what do you expect to be the effect on me as to your trustworthiness as a banker? Do you expeet me to acceptin the future your views a® sound and worthy to be followed, or would it be reasonable cause for surprise to you were I and others to decide not to believe your statements? = : ‘‘Respectfully, ‘A DEPOSITOR.” Married Son’s Wife : Albert E. Tucker of Akron, Kosciuscko county, has just wedded Lulu E. Tucker of Atwood who was the divorced wife of Tucker’s son. The ‘wedding occurred within an hour after the woman had secured her decree from the younger Tucker. When young Tucker meets his stepmother there will be something out of the ordinary.

Adelbert Smith Acquitted The jury found Dell Smith “not guilty” Tuesday evening, the trial, beginning last Monday. Smith was charged with complicity in the robbing of King & Weaver’s store in 1907. Samuel Clawson who was also charged with the crime is now at Michigan City serving time, he having pleaded guilty to the charge. Smith was not arrested until several weeks ago, having disappeared after the stealing. Clawson swore that Smith was with him when the store was robbed but Smith was able to prove an alibi., His wife and mother testified that he was at home at the time of the robbery and Smith denied that he was in the deal. The jury evidently took the ground that the man was entitled to the doubt and would be better off at home supporting his family. : ; Twelftmociety This society will meet in Fort Wayne October 27, 1908. In the morning Dr. John Ridlen, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery in Northwestern University, and a famousspecialist on crippled and deformed children, will hold a free clinic at the St. Joseph hospital. This is quite an opportunity, for anyone living in the twelfth district has the privilege of his free consultation. The Doctor will do a Lorenz, or bloodless operation for congenital dislocation of the hip. This is the same operation Dr. Lorenz did on Lottie Armour, the ‘Chicago millionaire’s daughter, a few years ago and the doctors are mueh interested in seeing this, and bringing their crippled and deformed patients in to get his advice or have them get proper corrections for their effections. . : :

Farm Fires = . ‘ No little excitement was occasioned Tuesday when the alarm telephoned to this city that a fire was raging on the Latta farm north of the city now owned by Straus Bros. & Co. Several autos were loaded at once and the party made the trip of eight miles at a terrific pace. The fire which had burned several rods of fence and i‘qome corn in the shock, was soon under control, however, and the party returned to the city leaving several men to watch the“smouldering fire. The damage was nominal, |

¢ Met Old Friends Herman Krueger of Kendallville was.in the city yesterday calling on old friends and vigiting with his son, L. E. Krueger and family. While here Mr. Krueger met Isaac Ochs and they had a long talk over old times. Those two gentlemen clerked together in the same store in Auburn over fifty years ago when both men were boys. Mr, Krueger was also well acquainted witn Sol Mier at that time and they have been warm friends ever since. They had an interesting talk over old times.

Duty of Citizenship No greater privileges is vouchsafed to American citizens than that of being permitted to exercise the elective franchise free and untrammelled. It ig a boon for which millions, have souglit-and been denied. To neglect this great privilege is to acknow--odge a lack of intereet in the government in which he iives and affords him protection. A man is not the best citizen who does not take an.interest in governmental affairs, locally or otherwise- — Rochester Sentinel. _ 5 <

Death of Pioneer - Geo. W. Smith, who for many years was one of the best known citizens of York towwpship, died last Saturda) at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel Haller, where he was vigiting near Kendallville at the age of 80.- He had been a sufferer for manix; yeras with asthma and recently his life has been dispared of on several occasions. The funeral was held at Pleasant Hill Tuesda, afternoon and was largely utsnded, ;

A Straw Vote l The Cincinnati Enquirer has been taking some straw votes in the factories of that. city and also in sur-. rounding towns, all of which show democratic gains. The latter part of last week Riechmond, Ind , was visited and the result of the canvas was as follows: Taft, 250; Bryan, 145; Debs, 12; Hisgen, 1. The prohibition caudidate got nothing. Forty-six of the men who voted for Bryan cast their votes for Roosevelt four years ago. The Taft voteincindes two Democrats who «voted for Parker four years ago. On the state ticket, 142 were for Watson, 222 for Marshall; 96 Republicans going over to Marshall and but one Democrat going over to Watson. Five prohibitionists will vote for Watson. This shows a difference of 185 votes between the vote for president and governor in a poll over 400 votes, Richmond is in Watson’s district and if the straw vote is .indicative of the situation there, the report that Marshall will carry the distriet is more than confirmed by the Enquirer's straw vote. It hasbeen reported all summer that Marshall will make tremendous gains in Richmond and the report seems to be correct.

» Popular at Home Quite a number of enthusiaicst Democrats, accompanied by their wives, went to the home of Hon. L. W. Knisely, Monday night and gave him a reception such as he will never forget. The object of the gathering was to congratulate Mr. Knisely upon his attitude in the state legislature during the special session. Mr. Kdisely withstood all the bribery and bladdishments of the Republicans and came out of the fight with a clean record. His friends | appreciating this phase of his legislative career, wanted to congratulate ‘him, and they did. A fine supper was given, and the distinguished company present made DeKalbs lrepresentative feel that he had not lived in vain.—Butler Herald.

No More Than Usnal The Ligonier Banner carries notices that application will be made for saloon licenses by four Ligonier. parties in November. It doesn’t look as if any temperance wave had struck that town. Ell Pollock also publishes notice in the Banner that he will apply for a licence at Kimmel. Kimmel, like Cromwell, is in Sparta township, where the remonstrance, has been found invalid.— Kendallville Sun. Mr. Reeve tries to imply that Ligonier is to have more saloons than usual. The fact is the notices published are all for renewals of licenses and in each case they will expire before the December meeting of the county commissioners. Ligonier has had seven saloons for several years and there is but little probability of any others starting in business. The Sun tries to make it appear that we published the application for Mr. Pollock at Kimmel. This we did not do simply because we did not have 'the chance. R

Fatal Excitement Joseph Hosler, 70 years old, of Syracuse awoke Saturday morning suffering from the effects of a weird dream. His wife noticed his agitation, and thinking to relieve his mind, insisted that he relate the dream to her. Hosler dramatically pictured every event as it came to him in his sleép and when he uttered the last word of his recital he fell over on the bed and in a few minutes was dead. e Refused to Accept Insurance \ According to the Goshen Newsi the father of Michael Yoder, who died at New Paris as the result of burns received some time ago, refuses to accept $l,OOO life insurance, which the young man carried and also toallow his son’s burial expenses to be paid bg the members of godgea to which the yom;? man belonged He is a member of the Mennonite
