THURSDAY, JUNE 15
The water works of Manchester,
Eng., produce a profit of $1,000,000
annually for the city. Municipal
ownership of Akron's water works
ought to yield relatively the same
degree of profit to the city treasury.
The Foraker-Kohlsaat war is reach
ing an interesting stage. Foraker
called Editor Kohlsaat a "foul mouth
blackguard," and Kohlsaat charges
Foraker with receiving $125,000 for
getting the notorious&O year franchise
bill through the Ohio Legislature
several years ago. This war of the
McKinley organ and Foraker is" likely
to make the people recall the proverb
"when rogues fall out," etc.
Senator Alexander claims to
have pledges that a majority of
Summit county's .delegates will sup
port him for Senator in the county
caucuses to be held prior to the
Painesville convention, while a
claim no less-emphatic is being put
forth by Col. Sieber. One of these
aspirants for Senatorial honors will
very likely reach the conclusion
before long that "all men are liars."
AN INCREASING DUPLICATE.
According to the report of
the
assessor there has been an increase
this year of nearly $50,000 in the val
uation of Third ward personal prop
erty. Indications are that there will
be a substantial increase of the valu
ation throughout- the entire city a
condition that will be very gratify
ing to the officials in charge of school
and. corporation finances.
The fact that.for the last four years
the officials have been levying taxes
against a constantly diminishing
duplicate, explains why the deficit
in current expenses has been growing.
For instance, th.e total valuation of
Akron's real and-personal property,
which, in 1895 amounted to $17,007,
900, had fallen to $16,552,660 last year
There has been a steady increase in
the realty valuation since 1895, but
the valuation of personal property
had slumped more than a million
dollars since that year, being in 1895,
$5,831,360 as compared with only $4,-
804,580 in 1893.
There is every reason to believe
that the personal duplicate will have
been increased at least half a million
dollars this year. This, in connec
tion with the increase of realty valu
tion, will.be a great help to "Council
and Commissioners in providing
means to overcome the annual deficit
that hitherto could not be avoided.

Annual Election Officers of Carpen

The Organization committee of the
Central Labor union has visited the
brewers of the city during the week
in the interests of union labor.
Th'e employes have been asked to
organize for the purpose of getting
the label oil the kegs. Recently Co
lumbus union beer was introduced at
Barberton. Tim union men served
notice on Akron brewers that they
would buy none of the beverago made
in Akron' unless the label was. used.
The local employers are willing to
have their men organize and it is
probable that a union will be formed.
Union Officers.
At a meeting of the Carpenters and
Joiners union last night officers for
the ensuing year were elected. They
are: C. M. Diller, president; Frank

ARBITRATION.
Proper Way to Settle All
Wage Questions.
Statement Made by International
Treasurer of Union.
Regarding the present situation in
the wage matter, Mr. Rezin Orr, of
Detroit, Mich., international treas
urer of the Amalgamated Associ
ation of Street Railway Employes,
who is here looking after the inter
ests of the local union, said as fol
lows to a Democrat reporter today:
"Arbitration is one of the princi
ples of our organization. "We are al
ways willing to setHe by arbitration
any question that cannot be agreed
upon mutually. "Ve never pretend
to dictate to a company whom it
shall select for its arbitrator. As
regards to the third, man, however,
we always like- to see a man selected
whose characters above reproach,
and who will exercise judgment and
deal with the question on its merits.
"I have noticed that the general
impression prevailing is that the
Walsh company.has done consider
able dilly-dallying in the matter of
settling this wage question. How
ever, I have no inclination to con
demn them forsuch delay; they may
have good reasons for it."
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness,and that Is by
constltutlonal remedies. -Deafness Is caused
by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
sets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing,, and when It Is entirely
closed deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an Inflamed condition or the mucous
surfaces.

WAITING
To Accept $5,000 Posi
tion In New York.
Claimed Prof. Thomas Was Offered' It
'Meeting Last Night.
A rumor has gained circulation to
the effect that (S T. Inman, President
of the Board of Education, said re
cently in a store, when a number of
men were discussing the situation in
the public schools that Prof. R. S.
Thomas was simply waiting to be
exonerated to accept a $5,000 posi
tion in New York.
Mr. Inman denied the story this
morning.
Last night the Investigating com
mittee listened to the remainder of
Prof. Thomas' statement. Nothing
else was done. The committee has
met three evenings in succession and
will now take a few evenings rest.
It is probable they will make their
report to the Board next Tuesday
evening."

Leroy P. Summers, aged 17 years,
son of Mr. and Mrs Edgar W. Sum
mers, 142 South Broadway, was
drowned at 4:30 "Wednesday after-i
noon in the canal near the Cascade
Mills.
Summers was in swimming with
Rollen E. Ball, aged about 21, near
lock 17. Ball is a good swimmer and
diver. They had been in the water
nearly an hour. Summers was wa
ding, when he slipped off a rock and
fell into the water beyond his depth.
He could not swim. Ball had taken
a dive and was under the water at
the time. A few small boys told
Ball that Summers was drowning.
He endeavored to rescue him, but
was unable to locate Summers until
he had breathed his last. His body
was immediately taken to shore.
Young Summers was a High school
pupil, and would have graduated
next Jannary. Parks' ambulance
took the remains to his home.

Havemeyer's Excuse For Ex
istence of Trusts.
HE DEX0UKCED IIIGII TARIFFS.
Claimed Combinations of Capital Were a
Necessity Iu Some Instances Said the
Sugar Combine Had Been a Iteneflt to
the Consumers Other Points.
Washington, June 15. Henry O.
Havenieyer, the sugar magnate, read a
statement before the industrial com
mission, in which he said in part:
"The mother of all trusts is the cus
toms tariff bill. The existing bill and
the preceding one have been the occa
sion of the formation of aU . the larce
trusts with very few exceptions, inas
much as they provide for an inordinate
protection to all the interests of the
country .sugar refining excepted.
Economic advantages incident to the
consolidation of large interests in the
same line of business are a great incen
tive to their formation, but these bear a
very insignificant proportion to the ad
vantages granted in the way of protec
tion under the customs tariff.
"There probably is not an industry
that requires a protection of more than
l"0 per cent ad valorem and it is to ob
tain what is provided over such per
centage in the tariff that leads to the
formation of what are commonly spoken
of as 'trusts.'
"With a protection to an industry not
exceeding 10 per cent all menace to the
community of trusts would cease. This
10 per cent would represent the differ
ence m cost of production, and likewise
act as a production against surface
nroducts ot foreign countries being
aunipeu m our iocu markets, thereby
interfering with the regular and eco
nomic working of our industries. Any
advantages that might then accrue to
buch combinations they would be fully
entitled to, and the public would not be
aamagca tuereoy, as auy expansion of
price would be met by foreign competi
tion and relief.
"I have said that sugar was an excep
tion. The rate of protection on sugar
is an eighth of a cent per pound, which
is about 3'f. per cent ad valorem, and is
not the dftierence in the cost of refin
ing between this and foreign countries.
The least it should have is 8 per cent,
or, in specific figures, per cent- per
pound. The sugar reining industry of
this country, no matter what form its
organization, is entitled to adequate
protection, if any industry is. There
are at least 100,000 people dependent
upon it. What it pays, or has paid, to
its stockliolders in the past represents
nothing more than a fair return on tho
capital invested, considering tho extent
of the business.
"The United States tariff bill, in as
sessing about $10 per ton duty on im
ported sugar, pays into the pockets' of a
few Louisianans on their annual crop,
250,000 tons, 810,000,000; to the Ha
waiian islanders, probably represented
by 150 foreigners, on their annual crop
of 250,000 tons, -510,000.000; say 100,000
tons produced elsewhere m the United
States, 4,000,000.
"Here you have SSl.OOO.OOo extracted
from the United States for tho sake of
getting the revenue which fJO per ton
on foreign sugar provides. This is
merely illustrative of the whole tariff
every line of it and its effect upon tho
people. In fact, the tariff bill clutches
the peoplo by the throat, and then tho
governors and the attorneys general of
tho several states take action, not against
the cau&e, but against the flBiachiuery
which the- peoplo employ to rifle the
public's ppekets.
"It would have been very easy and
proper for the government to have put
a corresponding mterual revenue tax on
sugar simultaneously with the imposi
tion of the customs duty, andhavo these
24,000,000, which now go into the pock
ets of a few individuals, go into the
treasury for the benefit of the whole
people. If no expenses of the govern
ment needed to be provided for, and
protection to American industries was
desired, the imposition of 10 per cent
ad valorem on all manufactured prod
ucts would have settled the- matter.
There is every reason why, if revenue is
desired, that with a duty on raw mate
rials of foreign production a correspond
ing internal revenue tax should be lev
ied on similar products, and the protec
tion to manufacturers thereof limited
to an additional 10 per cent.
"I repeat that all. this agitation
against trusts is against'merely the busi
ness machinery employed to take from
the public what the government in its
tariff laws says it is proper and suitable
they" should have. It is the govern
ment, through its tariff laws, which
plunders the people, and the trusts, etc.,
are merely the machinery for doing it.
"Whether the suear refininir com
pany has been a benefit or injury to the
community can bo best expressed in a
table showing the prices for a consider
able period prior to tho formation of
tne trust and for-a corresponding period
subsequent. Tho difference sinco its
formation shows an advantage to tho
consumer note that: consnmer of
over Jg of a cent per pound.
"What tho suear compauv has dis
bursed in dividends has been," not be
cause of any extremo protection uuder
the tariff, but out of conditions per
fectly legitimate aud commendable."
Mr. Havemoyer further said in part:
The susar company undoubtedly tries to
do its utmost to enlarge its business, but does
It In a way which they consider tho only proper
one. i. e., by making the price so low as to
fefy competition
It is my opinion that corporations are
under no .obligations whatever to any of the
states for their existence. . Quite the reverse.
The states aro under obligations to them. If
tho slant of these industries consolidated was
capable of being put on wheels and moved
from state, to stato, you would find very active
bidding for them.
Hostility to capital meets with its own con
demnation. This is illustrated by the situa
tion in New York, where- a discrimination
against capital has prevented its employment
and driven it elsewhere, resulting in a greatly
increased tax rate, and a tendency to increase
the number of the unemployed.
All I have to say about trade organizations
and strikes is that, without violence, they are
natural. They have one objection, however:
Their tendency to reduco all labor to a low
level.
Easiness is not philanthrophy. Capital and
labor will adjust their own relations if they
aro let alone. Interference always oocrates
against.one or the other. That means "to tho
disadvantage of both.
In the absence of all disturbing cimos, tho
direct tendency of a combination of capital is
to promote economy reduce expenses and di
minish price.
Great public improvements, factories and
other enterprises requiring large capital
either are Impossible unless through tho In
strumentality of corporations, or are possi
ble only through the action of individuals
themselves possessed of unlimited capital. It
is easy to see what in tho latter case would
happen to tho community.
One form in which hostilo action manifests
itsalf is by legislation which is intended to
keep corporations and their products out of
particular btates.
.This legislation in some states takes tho
form of bills which pormit citizens to buy
oods and with impnnty to refuse to pay for
hem. This Is a premium on dishonesty.
Ti other states tho attempt is to exclude
it tides which are of prime necessity.

STATE ANTI-TEUST LAW.
Attorney lor Cleveland afid Sandusky
Brewing Company to Test Its
Constitutionality.
Oolvjmbus, June 15. The constitu
tionality of the Ohio anti-trust law is
to be tested in the United States court
here by the attorney for the Clevelana
and Sandusky Brewing company to the
petition of the attorney general to oust
the company from its charter for al
leged violation of the anti-trust law,
pasoed April 10, 189S. The demurrer
sets forth that tho law conflicts with the
constitution of the United States. These
points were filed against it:
"It makes criminal all association of
citizens for business purposes.
"It denies to citizens the right of ordi
nary business association as partners.
"It makes impossible, without viola
tion of the act, the transaction of busi
ness by any association of two or more
individuals.
"It deprives citizens of the right-to
contract. Such action is, we submit,
beyond the power of legislation, as it
contravenes the fourteenth amendment
of the constitution in that it is a law
which abridges the privileges and im
munities of citizens of the United
States, and takes from them their prop
erty without duo process of law."
Tho demurrer also sets up as a de
fense that the law became effective on
Jul- 1, 189S, after the defendant cor
poration was completed.

A HELPLESS CHILD.
A weak and puny child is
almost as much abandoned
to its fate as if it was
left alone on a chimney-top.
It is isolated
from the healthy enjoyments
of its little fellow-beings. It
cannot partake either of their
play or their sturdy work
and progress in the world ;
its i hole life is embittered by
incapacity and weakness.
Any woman who expects
to become a mother ought to
know what Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription will do
both for her own health and
safety during her time of trial
and also to insure her in be
queathing a fair measure of
health and strength to the
prospective little one.

There never has been a remedy in the
history of medicine that has done what this
marvelous "Favorite Prescription" has
accomplished for weak, ailing women.
It's an insult to your intelligence for a
dealer to attempt to palm off upon you a
substitute for this world-famed medicine.
You iwozfwhatyou want. It's his business
to mrel that want. When he urges some
substitute he's thinking of the larger profit
he'll make not of your welfare.
