PROTECTION AND WAGES. The collision between the striking workmen and the forces of thu mill owners at Homestead, Pa., involving as it doeB the lives of a score or more of human beings, is a most ehocking affair. It might have been averted had both sides shown the proper Bpirit. Had the principle of arbitration been applied, as it should have been done, violence and bloodshed would have been prevented.

A Great Offer.
In
older that no one may an excuse to be without JOURNAL, we make the
h:\ve THE
following unusual offer —from now until Nov. 19, for 2^c. This lets down the bars to all. Take advantage of the opportunity.
FREE TIN PLATE.
The House of Representatives a Washington has passed the bill putting tin on the free list. The Democrats voted for it without an exception, thun putting themselves on record, by an actual vote, in favor of free trade—in favor of relying on foreign countries for our tin-plate—in favor of building up the tin-plate industry in foreign countries at the expense of the tin-plate in•dustry in this country. If -we ought •Dot to have a tariff on tin-plate then there is no excuse for a tariff on anything. The tin-plate industry, it is conceded by all, cannot be started in this country, without the aid of the protective policy and voting to put tinplate on the free list is voting to crush out of existence every tin-plate enterprise in this country. Indiana's great tin-plate plant at Elwood would go down in a day if it were settled that the tariff on tin-plate was to be removed. The \inanimous vote of the Democratic members of Congress to put tin-plate on the free list is a blow, instigated by mere malice, at the tin-plate manufacturers of this country. This vote shows that the Democratic party has a hatred of all manufacturing enterprises in this country, and that it would gladly crush down, if it could, every mill, factory, and furnace in the land. It ia hard to tell what motive prompts such action on the part of Democrats. If the tariff on tin-plate had made tinware higher, that would furnish some excuse but tinware is cheaper than it was when the McKinley bill became a law. In view of this fact, and the further fact that' dozens of tin-plate plants now being Greeted in the country, the action of the
The cause of (he strike was that which involved wages, and while the wages of lees than 300 men were affected, yet thereby 4,000 workmen are thrown out of employment. Democrats are greatly elated over this deplorable affair. Men who proudly boast that they represent tha highest types of American civilization and culture, fairly chuckle with delight as they commented on the dispatches which brought news of violence and bloodshed. They attribute the cause of the trouble to the tariff.
This is an absurd position. The tariff cannot do more than cause results which in general raise the rate of wages here above the low rate of wages in Europe. The tariff enables our workin gmen and their families to live in a state of comfort which wage earners abroad cannot secure. A Btrike because of a cut in wages may occur under any system, but oftener under free trade than any other. Our wage earners have onlv to look at the condition of the labor market in England to see what benefits protection confers to the workingmen and women in the United States.
THE PROHIBITION NOMINEE. Had General Bidwell been nominated the Republicans there would have gone up Buch a howl from the Prohibitionists in comparison with which the howls of a Democratic convention would have been tame. General Bidwell is several times a millionaire, in other words a plutocrat. He made his millions in a most sinful way measured by the standard of the Prohibitionists. For years his residence has been in Butte county, California, where he bus one of the largest fruit ranches in the State comprising 25,000 acres. Of course Gen. Bidwell planted prapes. Moreover,
iSS
they were wine grapeB. Five hundred broad acres there were, nearly all in wine and brandy refes. When his output became large he set up a winery and still house for making brandy, with powerful engines and costly machinery For twenty years his name stood next to the head in the list of California's wine and brandy producers. Some six or seven years ago Le found a second wife. Her ideas were strongly against the wicked liquor trallic, and not long after his second marriage the wine grower became a Prohibitionist. He publicly announced he would forthwith go out of the wine and brandy business. All the vines that were distinctively for the bearing of wine grapes he rooted out of the soil. General Bidwell still raises grapes but, he claims, not for making wine. In a recent letter he stated the product of his 150-acre vineyard at more than 1.000,000 pounds. Bidwell sells his grapes, and what becomes of them he is not responsible. There is not a market for 500 tons of table grajjes a year, from the Rancho Chico, and they do not make raisins in Butte county. It is figured, moreover, that there is still in existence much brandy and good red wine from the Rancho Chico. But he still holds on to his sinful millions.
THE CAUSE.
Why are so many business men failing and why is there so much trouble among working men and their employers? are questions asked by every Democrat, thinking thereby to cast reproach upon the present administration in general and upon the McKinley law in particular. The cause is easily traced and any thinking man can readily locate the cause. While finances are settlod ther6 is never any great trouble among business men or with employes and employers. The course of the Democratic majority in Congress is calculated to unsettle business and cause disturbance between employer and employe. Capital is timid and all the conditions must be favorable or this timidity results in withdrawal from active operation. Hence, stagnation in business and labor feels its force first and greatest. So long as Congress continues to tinker with the finances and the tariff, so long will business be unsettled. There never was a time when the conditions were better for continued prosperity if the tinkerers would keep hands off but while finance and tariff tinkering continues, so long will business be unsettled. It has ever been the result of Democratic domination that financial wreck followed their ascendancy. To bankrupt treasuries and contract debts seems to be their only financial knowledge, or ignorance rather. Let the watchword be, hands off and let business progress.
THE most important political flop in this neighborhood this campaign thus far has been that of Captain J. B. Frakes, who IB now a Republican. For a life time Mr. Frakes was a Democrat, but without any great noise, or desire to have his change heralded from Eifel towers or housetopB, he is quietly sawing wood and grinding a large knife with which to gig some Democratic vote. Thus far the flopping business is in favor of the Republican party.— Green castle Banner.
The change of Captain Frakes will more than effset the loss of D. E. Wilson. The former changed his politics through conviction and not disappointment, while the latter changed his politics through disappointment and not through conviction. 7
THE friends of free school education who have taken up The Youth's Companion' proposal for a National celebration on Columbus Day, in which the public schools of America shall be the leaders, are working with an energy and determination worthy of the movement. The press throughout the entire country is advocating the plan with a remarkable degree of enthusiasm and unity of purpose. Teachers and pupils in all parts of our Republic are declaring their idtention of joining in the celebration. There is every reason for believing that October 12 will be marked by one of the most successful patriotic demonstrations in the history of our country. ,,
DUHIXG the four years that Grover Cleveland was President he vetoed 524 pension bills. During the three years and more that Benjamin Harrison has been President he has not vetoed one pension bill. How any self respecting soldier can vote for the man who not only has no love for the boys who wore the blue but who cherishes a most intense hatred for them is past comprehension. No wonder the one legged old soldier, General Sickles, declared that not one of the 20,000 Democratic heroes of New York would never, never vote for the old vttoer.

branch of mechanical industry. All of which shows that foreign competition is not necessary to insure good products or to lessen the price thereof. Home competition regulates just as well as foreign competition, and at the same furnishes employment for home mechanics and home capital.
THE Democratic paity has many sins, great and small, to answer for, but none of them are more heinous than the
At
tempt of the Democratic Senators mid Representatives to make politico! spiital out of the blood shed by Pennsylvania labor. It shows, as nothing else could, the desperation of that partv, and is bound to prove a boomerang, for no sensible man can, after coolly consider, ing the matter, endorse this bloody issue which these Democrats are trying to make. It is a little short of idiocy to charge the protective tariff with being responsible for the shooting down of workmen by Pinkerton's hired murderers, and the Democrats who have made the charge will live to regret their having done so. And to exhibit their partisan malice to the fullest extent they heap all their venom and spite upon Andrew Carnegie, but say nothing about H. C. Frick, the manager of the Homestead mills, and the man more than any one else who is responsible for the outbreak. The reason of this is quite apparent when it is known that Carnegie is a Republican and Frick is a life-long Democrat. Could mean partisanship go further?
THE following expression in the Democratic platform is about as plain as words can make it. "We are against the coinage of any silver dollar which is not of the intrinsic value of every other dollar of the United States."—Democratic Paper.
Yes. This is as "plain as words can make it." But why? Because it is taken literally from a speech made by President Harrison more than a year ago. He always expresses his ideas clearly, and it is creditable to the National Democratic Convention, that it saw fit to adopt his language in framing their platform.
WITH very few exceptions the alumni and friends of Wabash college are going to be greatly disappointed if the trustees persist in selecting a minister as the next president. Of course those who knew Dr. Kane were satisfied with his election knowing his fine business qualities but those who only knew that he was a preacher were not slow to express their disapproval. Of course the trustees are running the college but they depend on the public for support and it would be business wisdom to take public opinion into consideration in this important work before them.
THE Chicago Herald says: "There is no place on the Democratic platform for any man to stand who is in the slightest degree tainted with the teresey of protection." No place in the Democratic platform for Washington, Adorns, Jefferson or Jackson, all of whom were not only "tinctured with the heresy of protection," but were strong and life-long advocates of the doctrine of the McKinley bill. A platform from which all these men are shoved to make room for Grover Cleveland, is a curious kind of Democratic platform.
WE are glad to know that plank rerelating to tariff in the Democratic platform of the National Convention has but one meaning, contains no "sti addle" and that every one can understand it to mean just what it says. There has been enough 'protection" for thirty years past, now let us have a little free trade, even if it does come through "reciprocity."—Review.
This is afrankacknowlegei.ient on the part of the Review that Democratic platforms hertofore have "straddled" on the tariff question, and that now the party has declared in favor unequivocally in favor of free trade.
BALLOT-BOX stuffing is now actually a crime in New Jersey,and after two years of bitter contest by legal subterfuges and delays 20 active Democratic political heelers of Jersey City, have been sent to the penitentiary for nine months and upwards, and are now wearing cropped hair, striped clothes and performing hard work. With these Democratic heelers in the penitentiary, there is hope that New Jersev will cust its vote for Harrison and Reid at the com

DEMOCRATS who are endeavoring to make political capital out of the deplorable affair at Homestead should call to mind the trouble at BriceviJle, Tenn., where the chairman of the Democratic National committee had in his employ the convicts of the Tennessee penitentiary in competition with free labor in coalmines. Democratic memoriee may bo short but the memories of the people are long.
THE People's Party at Omaha in convention assembled have nominated Gen. James B. Weaver, of Iowa, and Gen. Jameu G. Field, of Virginia, ae candidates for President and Yice-Presidoi.t
There are now four tickets in the field, Republican, Democratic, Prohibition and People's. Like Abuu B-^u Adam, Harrison's name leads all lhe rest.
ANTHRACITE coai is on tho free lift, and yet one of the *most formidable trusts in the country is the anthracite coal trust. On somo sizes prices have advanced more than 81 a ton. Of course other advances will be made before winter comes. Democrats will h'wl themselves hoarse in declaring that the inincrease was caused by me McKinley bill.
MEAT which costo ten and twelve cents a pound costs twenty cents in England, twenty-two cents in France, and twenty-five to thirty cents in Germany, yet the wage earners in these foreign lands receive but a third or half the money that American workers get. These facts are given by Edward Atkinson, the great economist.
IT seems to be definitely settled that Hon. L. T. Michener, of this State, will be Chairman of the National Republican Committe, and that Ex-Congressman L. E. McComas, of Maryland, will be the Secretary. The selection of r. Michener means intelligent and systematic work during the campaign and victorv in November.
DCIUNG the four years thaT" Grover Cleveland was President he not only vetoed the dependent pension bill, which President Harrison afterward signed, but he vetoed 524 private pensions or bills. President Harrison has not vetoed one private pension bill.
DEMOCRATS have but little to say during these July days concerning the"billion dollar Congress." The River and Harbor bill which has just passed carries §52,709,019, or more than twice as much as any bill for the same purpose in any previous Congress.
THE Terre Haute Express says that Judge Buff, of Sullivan county, is being urged by his friends to make the race for Congress on the Republican ticket and it is not unlikely he may consent to run.
THE Senate has just passed a bill appro23riating 8150,000 for a public building at Muncie. Congressman Brookshire has not tven made an effort for Crawfordsville's public building.
NOTHING is necessary to a complete settlement of the troubles at Homestead but for all to obey the law, and if there are those who violate the law, let them be punished as the law prescribes.
THE brewers of Chicago have petitioned that the World's Fair be closed on Sundays.
SUICIDE OF A JUDGE.
Jepttia D. New, a Noted Indiana Jurist and Ex-Cnufcrt'ssmun, Kills Himself. MOUNT VF.KNON. Ind., July 11.—Judge Jeptha D. New, of the Indiana appellate court and democratic candidate for jndpe of the supreme court, Second district. shot himself through the heart at his home in Mount Vernon at 6:3C o'clock Saturday morning and died instantly. Ill health is assigned as the cajj.se of the deed.
Until four or five months ago Judge New was considered one of the' mosl robust men on the appellate court bench. Early in the spring he was attacked with the grip and the disease fastened its clutches on him so that he was never able to shake it off. It affected his nervous system and his mind became impaired. Three weeks ago lit came to his home for rest upon the ad' vise of his colleagues on the bench, who saw t'hat his condition was serious. After arriving here hit condition seemed to become worse instead of better. He was unable to sleep anil for two weeks ha spent nearly every ni'.'ht in wakefulness. It is supposed he brooded over his condition until he reached a state o: temporary aberration of mind. lit woke up iind entered into conversation with his wife, talking as usual. She left the room and almost instanth heard the report of a revolver anc rushed back to find her husbiind breathing his last, lie leaves a wife, married daughter and two sons, who are lawyers here.

Mr. Van Pelt, Editor of the Craig Mo. Meteor, went to a drugstore at Hillsdale, Iowa, and asked the physician to give him a dose of something for cholera morbus and looseness of the bowels. He says: "I felt so much better the next morning that I concluded to call upon the physician and get him to fix me up a supply of the meuicine. I was surprised when he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy. He said he prescribed it regularly in his practice and found it the best he could get or prepare. I can testify to its efficiency in my case at all events." For sale by Nye & Booe.
Cholera infantum has lost its terrors since the introduction of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhrea Remedy.
