DEMOCRATIC. REPUBLICAN.

THE WAR,

We, the Domoc.raoy of Indiana, in While we sincc-roly deplore tjio neconvontiou assembled, now, as always, cfcnMty oi war, wo believe ilie president loyal to our country and our flag,#alliriu

that the cause for which the United

and such improvements of o"ur system of coast defenses as shall assure adequate protection of the country against loreign aggression.

The Democratic party of Indiana. now, as in tho past, advocates liberaL, pensions as well to tho disabled survivors of the Union army in the civil war, and their widows and orphans, as to the victims in the present conflict, and those who may be dependent upon them. We honor alike the valor of those who suffered for the flag in the gigantic contest of r8f(l-65, and of those who have now gone forth to do battle in the cause of liberty and humanity.

THE

Wo reaffirm and emphasize the platform adopted by the national Democratic convention of 1896 at Chicago. We are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of Woth gold and silver at the existing ratio of 16 to 1, without the aid or consent of any other nation.

We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and we specially protest against tho declared purpose of the present Republican secrotary of the treasury of applying that policy more thoroughly. We believe that the practice of the treasury in paying treasury notes in gold only, in violation of law, and in surrendering the option of the government, reserved by the statute, to pay in gold or silver, is chiefly responsible for the great money depression now, and for HO long a period, existing in this country, is destructive ot business enterprise. dangerous to the public credit and the prosperity of the pooplo, and a serious menace to the national honor.

We insist

country should boar its just share of the public burdens. For that reason we approve the inheritauce tax recently adopted through the efforts of tho Democrats in congress and we favor the principle and policy of an income tax. The demouitization of silver and the judicial denial of the power to tax incomes have materially impairod our resources for war purposes. We favor the reimposition of an income tax, so that the question of its validity may be reviewed by the supreme court.

the hardships they are called upon to endure, and our warmest praise for their unconquerable valor.

We honor, congratulate and applaud our country's heroes who have once more proved the matchless intelligence, devotion and courage of American manhood. They have Droved to the world that the United States is a nation, one and indivisible, without sections and without classes, whose purpose is "to deal justly, love, mercy and walk humbly before God."

Wo commend Mr. McKinley's conservative and patriotic course in earnestly hoping and negotiating for peace while yet prudently preparing for war. And we further express our most earnest approval of his vigorous prosecution or" the war, and our entire confidence in his ability to secure such terms of peace, now happily near at hand, as will advance human liberty and comport. with the dignity and honor of the American people.

W1-.

Wo hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors whose valor saved tne life of the nation, and those who were but recently called to arms in vindication of their country's honor and the cause of human liberty. Just and liberal pensions to all deserving soldiers are a sacred debt of the nation, and the widows and orphans of those who aro dead are entitled to the cure of a geueroiis and grateful people.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Wo are in favor of the construction! We most lieartilv approve of the anand control of the Nicaragua canal by nexation of the Hawaiian islands as a

this government, when its feasibility shall havo been determined but we are opposed to a loan of the national credit to any private corporation for that purpose.

4

wise measure we recommend the early construction of the Nicaraguan canal under the immediate direction and exclusive control of the United States government—the importance and necessity of the canal having been emphasized by recent events connected with I the present war with Spain.

FINANCIAL QUESTION. The Republicans cf Indiana are unreservedly for sound money, and are therefore opposed to the heresy to which the Democratic party is wedded, of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. which we regard as absolutely sure to debase our money and destroy our private and public oredit, and cause general business disaster. Werecoguize the necessity of comprehensive and enlightened monetary legislation and believe that the declaration in the St.

Louis national Republican platform for the maintenance of the gold standard and the parity of all our forms of money should be given the vitality of public law and the money of the Americau people should be made, like all its iutitut.ious, tho best in the world.

We fclicirnte the couutry on the fact,when in the exigencies of war it became necessary to issue $200,000,000 of government bonds to meet the extraordinary expenditures, a Republican administration had the good sense aud wisdom to put the loan within the easy reach of the people, where it has been •wholly absorbed, furnishing a splendid security for their savings, awakening a new interest in the permanency of our government and flu* soundness of its

THE TARIFF,

We earnestly reassert the Democratic dootrine that all tariff taxes shall be laid for revenue as their sole object and purpose, and wo do at this time especially denounoe and condemn the high prohibitory rates of the present Republican tariff, commonly called the Dingier bill, under the operation of 'whioh traata and combinations kava

We congratulate the country upon the universal patriotic uprising which has swept away the last vestige of sectionalism, and revealed us to the world as a united people. We rejoice in the heroic deeds of Dewey, Baglcy, Hobson, and their brave oompides, which havo added new luster to the American liamo. We demand, now, as heretofore, the most vigorous prosecution of tho war until it shall have ended in vindication of the na- of the sacrifices they have made and tional honor, tho absolute relinquish went by Spain of possession or control of any part of the western hemisphere, and the formal acknowledgment by that kingdom of tho independence of the Cuban republic. We favor the prompt Tecufguition by the United States of such independence as a war measure, and as an ac! of justice to a brave people, struggling for freedom. Wo urge the immediate inorease of the vpluntedr forces of our army and navy to any extent necesgary to assure speedy and decisive results, and the appropriation of all tho funds requisite for the adequate equipment and support, and for the comfort of our gallant soldiers and sailors in armed conflict against the public enemy. The supreme duty of the hour is to relieve the perishing victims of Spanish cruelty and secure the complete triumph of the national arms. Whon this shall havo been accomplished the justice and wisdom of the American people may be safely trusted to deal with all questions which may grow out of existing complications, in such a way as best to promote the objects for which this republic was founded.

We approve the child labor aud factory inspection law, and favor such amendments to the same as shall render it more effective.

We congratulate the taxpayers of Indiana upon the rapid decrease in the state debt, and beg to remind them that the revenues with which the payments thereon have been made and are being, made result from the enforcement of the Democratic tax law of 1891, which was enacted by a Democratic legislature over Republican opposition and protest, which was assailed by a Republican state convention, denounced by Republican orators aud the entire Republican press, but which was sustained in the highest court of the nation through the efforts of a Democratic attorney general. Every dollar paid on the state debt by Iiepu blican officials is cumulative evidence of the stupidity, or worse, of the Republican organization in its bitter opposition to the law which made such payment possible, aud which, since coming into power, they have made no effort to repeal.

We also recall that a Democratic legislature enacted a law creating a sinking fund of 3 cents on the $100, to be applied exclusively to the extinguishment of the state debt, and that under these laws the Democratic administration of Governor Matthews, in 1895 and 18%, set the pace by reducing the state debt more than $2,000,000.

protection to American labor aud home industries and condemn the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only as unsound and unsuited to the best interests o.f the country, a doctrine tho falsity of which has been demonstrated by our experience under the Wilson revenue bill that plunged the nation into commercial and financial distress, from which it is fast recovering siuce the ohango from that Democratic policy.

We call attention In the record of llie last two legislatures, each Heiiublicnn in both branches, whicli made scarcely a law of material benclit toi he people, liotli of these leg-isla-tiires were marked by corruption and debauchery so scandalous that even Republican organs were driven 'o denounce them.

AN OPEN LETTER

To MOTHERS.

WE ARE ASSERTING IX THE COURTS OUR RIGHT TO 'ITIE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WORD "CASTORIA," AND "PITCHER'S CASTORIA," AS OUR TRADEMARK.

The Fountain county Court house is an old and out-of-date structure, and a njwoneis needed badly, but the big men of Covington are afraid it will go to Veedersburg on account of the latter place being more centrally situated. There is a hot tight on between the papers of the two aces, the Veedersburg News frequently referring to Covington as a "Jim Crow village," and the Covington Republican talking of Veedersburg "as the darkebt burg in seven States and unfit for a justice's shop."

/, DR. SAMUEL PITCHER, of Hyannis, Massachusetts, was the originator of "CASTORIA," the same that has borne and does now bear on every the fae- simile signature of wrapper.5 This is the original "CASTORIA" which has been used in the homes of the Mothers of America for over thirty years.

LOOK CAREFULLY at the wrapper and see that it is the hind you have always bought on the and has the signature of wrapper. No one has authority from me to use my name except' The Centaur Company, of which Chas. H. Fletcher is President. March 24,1898.^
