SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 4, 1893.

THE REPUBLICAN POSITION.

Senator John Sherman appeared for the first time in this campaign at Springfield on Thursday evening. As he had just emerged from the recent Senatorial contest over the question of repeal of the silver purchasing law what he had to say was listened to with breathless attention. It is of interest to the entire country and we therefore quote his words whioh state the Republican position most admirably:

All our financial operations are based upon the double standard. We have gold and silver us tho basis of all our money, and they must be maintained upon a parity with each other. Their purchasluir power must be the same, and HiLs is the policy of the Bepublican party. More than one year ago I hadithe honor 'of Introducing the very same proposition in the Senate regarding silver as the Democrats art now following. A Democratic House detailed that proposition, the bill being worded in almost the identical words as that passed a few days ago. When the so-called silver question came up at this extraordinary session of Congress, the Kepublican Congress s'atedto the President that tney would stand by him it Tuvor of the suspension of the purchase of silver bullion, aud after an Interminable amount or talk the purchasing clause of tJie so-ealled Sherman silver law was repealed^ With thisexception however, the Sherman law will stand. Why is it necessary to suspend the purchase of silver .bullion? Simp]} becausc we have so much silver that, If we continued the polU of purchasing so much of it a mouth it would depreciate Just like any other commodity would, and we would have been driven Anally to a single standard. Gold would he driven out of the country. Now. I am a firm believer In silver, and we do not demonetize silver by our action. But what is It we fearedWe are the largest silver-producing country In the world. Other nations are deu-.oneti7.lng the metal, and the fear arose that a continuance of our present policy would result disasrously to the country. A'e said we had enough of silver, and so It was the Repablican party who aided the President in repealing the purchasing clauseof the Sherman law.

IT is simply absurd to talk about free trade giving us enlarged market* abroad. Nobody is going to give us Bny more for what we produce, or buy any more of us because we have free trade. Business is not done on a basis nf gratitude or friendship. The Englishman who buys a bushel of American wheat does not let the fact of our having free trade or tariff have the slightest effect on him. He simply wants a bushel of good wheat and he goes into the market to buy it as cheap as he can. If he can buy Russian wheat one-tenth of a penny a bushel cheaper than he can American, Australian, Argentine or In' dian wheat he buys the Russian wheat and vice versa. It is childish prattle to assume that he is going to buy more than he wants or needs just because we have favored some countryman of hie by letting in the letter's goods free of duty

CONGRESS adjourned yesterday, after a session of eighty-seven days. But two bills of importance were enacted during this long special session, one was the bill to repeal the purchasing clauee of the Sherman act and the other was extending the time six months in which the Chinese could register to prevent them from being sent out of the country. Turning the country over to Democracy has. been un expensive experiment.

HARD times have borne with especial severity upon the members of the theatrical profession. Something like 3,000 actors r.nd actresses are idle in New York City. Theatrical managers evince no inclination to organize new companies for the road, as fifty organi zations have, thus early in the season returned empty handed to New York It will be a hard winter for the. mem bere of lire profession.

TilK election bribery law stands. Now make it warm for bribers. Boodle and boodlelsm have got to go. Honesty must be made the rule In elections.—Frankfort Crescent.

The Crescent is makiog it hot for Grover Cleveland these days. The Van Alan scandal will not down. It even turns the stomach of suoh Democrats as the editor of the Crescent. Yes, "boodle and boodleism must go"—to Italy.

IT is given out that the Ways and Means Committee has succeeded mapping out a free list, which will in elude wool, coal, iron ore, lumber, salt, kaolin, silver and lead ore. The removal of the tariS from these articles will raise a howl even among Democrats from every section of the country,

BLAND went down with his colors fly ing, but somehow he failed to invest the scene with any sort of dramatic interest, or to give it the appearance of any thing better than falling off of a log.

THE threatened treasury deficit will strengthen the income-tax movement, and the tux, if it should be passed, will help to defeat the Democratic party in 1894 and 1896.

''Jackville" Protests.

To the Editor The Journal. We, the people of Wallace, formerly called Jackville, and of Jackson township at large, beg space to protest against the lies written and sent abroad slandering this place. Years ago Jack- I ville had a bad name, brought upon her by the "toughs" of the surrounding country and towns congregating here to settle personal difficulties. But that day is paBt and we have no more of Jackville ats of old, but instead we have one of the quietest,most business like and most orderly places in the State, we care not where or what they are. It h»s been the custom of some correspondents, who would rather write a lie than the truth, to report all mean acts committed within ten milus of here, as at Jackville, and when anything honorable occurs they draw the intervening distance between Jackville and their place until it is piti ful to think of, so as to get the honor for their place. The latest article and the one to which we especially desire to call your attention, was written from Crawfordsville, under the date of Oct. 6, to the Indianapolis papers. The correspondent begins his article "A choice story from the wilds of Jackville." Four lines below he nearly oorre-tly states the Iugersoll church "is located five miles southwest of Waynelown." Little Moses sleeping in his ark of bullruehe6 on the river Nile! What ignorance shown! We wonder if Waynetown knew she had such a near neighbor in that direction? The correspondent speaks like Ingersoll chapel and Jackville are one.

To prove to the readers that the writer wrote without information, or was possessed with more of a desire to write lis than the truth we say: "The Ingersoll church is located four or five miles southwest oI Waynetown, Jackville is located two and one-half miles west and five miles south of the church and Hell's Half Acre is located about two miles north and eighteen miles west of Jack ville." He says some light has lately penetrated the darkest Jackville." This is true. The light came at least three years ago and still shines. Bat the light penetrating the "darkness" at this place has nothiag to do with the organ question at Ingersoll chapel. If the correspondent referred to devoted less time to the imaginary "Hoosier School Master" and more to the study of geography he could have made better geographical locations and not exposed his ignorance as he has done.

Furthermore, Rev. Myers did not re sign his position as pastor. His time had expired and the congregation had reasons other tlian his views on the organ question, for not re-employing him. This question has only been under discussion about five months and Rev. Myers' time expired about two years ago. The organ was first used in the church at singing, Sunday night, Oct. 1, and has been used for singing and Sunday school from that time until destroyed. There has been singing every Thursday night and on Sunday night, also, when there WHS no preaching. We care not for his errors only when he maliciously slanders the people of this place. We have tolerated such articles until "patience has ceased to be a virtue," and we cosider the time to call a halt has come. We have a church in town, one one and one-quarter miles southeast, one three miles north, one three miles northwest and one three and one-half miles south of here. This certainly proves to all intelligent readers that the people here are civilized and have their physical needs supplied.

We kindly ask for the truth, all truth and nothing but the truth. Let the truth come and stand regardless of consequences.
