PLATFORM PARALLELS.

The Democrats of 1893 Prefer the Prln' clples of tli© Southern Confederacy, NOT A VERY STRAIOITT ONE.

Resolved, That an adequate protection to American industry is Indispensable to the prosperity of the country, and that an abandonment of the policy at this period would be attended with consequences ruinous to the best interests of the nation.—Jackson's.

The congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, duties and excises for revenue only.—Constitution of the Confederate States, Article 1, Section 1, Clause 1.

We denounce tho Republican protection as a.fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the American pea pie for the benefit of the few. We declare it to bo a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for tho poses of revenue only. —Cleveland's.

lll'T THIS lltTNS BETTER. We denounce tho Republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of tho American people for tho benefit of tho few. We declare it to bo a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal (government has no constitutional power to imposo and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only. —National Democratic Platform.

WHEN the Democratic orators aek •what has become of the Bnrplus that existed at the time of Cleveland's retirement from the Presidency, the answer is to be found in the fact that the present Administration has paid off $259,000,000 of the public debt.

EVEN Statistician Peele, who is a candidate for re-election on the Dernobratic State ticket, is forced to admit from the statistics he has collected that the wages of workingmen are "seemingly higher" than they were a year ago. Peele will get peeled the first thing he knows.

WHAT good do the duties on wheat and wool do the farmers.—Sentinel. Answered by Grover Cleveland: "These tariff Jaws, in their logical and plain effect raise the price to tho consumer, of all articles imported aDu subject to duty, by precisely tho sum paid for such duties, and likewise compel the consumers of domestic products to pay a similar price."

THE Democratic party has a three cornered fight within its ranks. Grover favors free trade, Adlai favors a straddle •while the platform favors anything foreign against America. Then Vory has a little corner to himself. He favors the South in everything the South may order. He belongs to the faction that wears the Southern collar—the same faction that clung so tenaciously to the South all through the war.

How ANY decent Democrat can vote the ticket after reading the deluge of lies published in Democratic papers is a mystery. The campaign two years ago was won on the basest falsehoods ever published but this campaign will not be carried that way. When a man has been basely deceived once he will not likely bite at the same bait again. The Republican party has all the argument and all the facts, while the Democrats hive all the lies. Take your choice.

THE Review is wasting its sympathy on the Homestead strikers, so far as wages are concerned. O'Donnell, the leader of the strike, was not one of the highest paid men, but he received $55 per week, and earnings of $6 to $10 and $14 were ^frequent. There are men at Homestead who received more wage6 in one week than the entire force of the Review including the salary of the editor. Any printer in this town would be in the seventh heaven of pros perity if they received one-fourth the wages the Homesteaders received.

WHY have wheat and wool been dropping in price since the passage of hie (McKinley's) bill.—Sentinel.

Please send this question to Mr. Cleveland, whose celebrated message urges that a tariff on an article always increases the price to the extent of the duty. We do not know why Mr. Cleveland's rule will not work. Does the Sentinel.

DEMOCRATS are as mad as wet hens because the wages of workingmen in New York have increased $6,000,000, If the wages of the men had been decreBued $6,000,000 it would have filled their eoulsjwith ecstatic joy. They have no use for workingmen except to pull their chestnuts from the gas stove.

fe'V:

SHALL WE TRADE WHEAT FOE TIN? Congressman Bynum, in his speech at Noblesville now admits that we can aiake tin plate in this country, and like many Democrats in this city, would not do so until he was compelled to by seeing the tin made and sold in the market for less than we paid two years ago. But he adds "that it cannot be made profitably," and "that we should all be farmers in this country and trade farm produce for tin plate made in England," and "that the McKinley bill has closed ten factories where it has erected one."

This is a strange position for a Demo caat of to-day to take. Does Mr. By num want the McKinley bill repealed because those who own these factories and those who own them are not "prof ited." The Democracy, has always wel corned bankruptcy, and disaster among owners of factories and their employees and were never so full of glee as when they thought the tin plate factory at Anderson was about to go down. Mr, Bynum, it seems, ought to favor pro teation if that is its results. But it is not for Mr. Bynum to say whether or not they are "profitably" managed. That alone is presumed when we see the stockholders satisfied, aud those who labor in them living in their own homes and paying their debts. Heretofore the cry of Democracy has been that the manufacturers "robbed" the people and made too umch. Now by the Bynum rule they are starving. Will the Democracy ever plant itself on a doctrine and stick to it for a month?

But why should we do nothing but farm and trade farm produce for tinware and other commodities made in England?

If those now engaged in tin plate making and the thousands who will be in it in the next year or two, should follow Bynum and go to farming, how will they get farms if their business is not "profitable?" Even at the good wages they get now would they be able to buy farms or would they make more by working for wages on the farm? If they all go at farming and quit making tin plate and other manufactured goods, will not there be an over production of wheat and no tin plate in this country? Aud will not the result of this condition be an increase of the price of tinware and a decrease of the price of wheat? If we should quit manufacturing tin plate, carpets and pearl buttons and let those engaged in these industries go to raising wheat, wonltL England buy any more of us than she does now She buys no more of us now than just enough Co supply what she cannot raise. Will they eat any more wheat over there just because they get it of us? Twenty thousand tin plate laborers in this country will eat just as much wheat as twenty thousand in England, and we propose to trade our wheat for tin plate made in the United States and save the trouble and expense of shipping wheat to England and of shipping tin plate from there here. We propose to furnish labor for the American laborer and we propose to furnish the American farmer a market for his wheat in this county, and we further propose not to raise the price of a single article bought by the laborer or farmer.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel states thtit a Mr. Dugdale, of that city, says that the so-called American tin is not as good quality or as cheap as the foreign article that the stuff made at Elwood is not such that he could use for canning A month ago we were assured that no tin was made at Elwood. Now it is made there but it is not good. This same old cry has been heard ever since it was started by John C. Calhoun, the nullifier, in 1833. Of course nobody expects a Democratic editor to believe that American mechanics can ever amount to anything as compared with English mechanics. Our mechanics are all dolts and numbskulls, in the estimation of the Sentinel. Bnt what will the

Sentinel do with that other favorite argument of Democratic speakers that we can manufacture cheaper in this country than they can in England on account of the superior skill and intelligence of our mechanics.

SOME of the Democrats of this county are howling so with rage because sixteen Republicans ask for election supervisors to see that the election is carried on fairly, that it looks very much as though Some one's arrangements for fraud were being upset. These sixteen gentlemen are abused shamefully and "their rec ordB" are read. To a casual observer, however, nothing very terrible iB made manifest, against them, and we dare say any one of them would be willing to compare police court records with the chief howler against "the black infamy."

THE more we read about the great coal combine which is forcing the price of that kind of fuel up sky high, the more we should feel thankful to A. F. Ramsay for his untiring and at last sucful efforts to pipe natural gas to Craw fordsville.

VAIN ATTEMPTS TO FIND A CAUSE. The Democratic Bynum Club of Madison county has passed a set of resolutions stating the reasons and causes of the erection of the tin plate factories at Elwood and other places in the gas belt, and denying that the tariff on foreign tin plate had anything to do with it. If they had passsd resolutions denying that there were any tin plate fac tories at all in that region and telling the people that the price of tinware had increased since the passing of the McKinley bill, it would have been more in keeping with the position first assumed by the Democracy when it was proposed to place a tariff on foreign tin plate. Like the Review, of this city, the Democratic committee of Madison coun* ty is getting away frooi the point ic controversy. The point ie, is tin plate being made in Indiana, did the erectipn of the factories (if any are erected) furnish employment for labor, and has the price of tinware increased since the tariff was placed on foreign tin. Two years ago the Democracy said the people of Indiana could not make tin plate. The Rspublican party said we could make it. Two years ago the Democratic party slid the price of tinware would be increased. The Republican party said it would not. Now, at the end of two years since the tin tariff was jjlaced on foreign tin plate, the Republican party is willing to face its former declarations and go before the people without hedging and trying to avoid the point. Now the Democracy says tliat the discovery of gas in the region of Elwood was the cause of the tin plate factories there. What cause will the Democracy give for the starting of tin plate factories in other states where they have no gas? GBB was discovered in Indiana seven years ago, and what cause will the Democracy give for the starting of tin plate factories in Indiana since the tariff was placed on foreign tin and not before. We had plenty of gas befor9 the McKinley bill was passed in Congress. If gas is so productive of tin plate factories we would like for the Democracy of Madison county did not immediately follow the discovery of gas in Pittsburg years ago. The Democracy must be held to its predictions. They said we could not make tin plate in this country. They knew we had gas when they made the prediction and they did not say we could not make it unless we had natural gas. The point of Democracy has always been that we could not do anything in this country because we did not have the skill and ingenuity. Now comes the Democracy of Madison counand says we could not make tin plate in this country without natural gas— that the discovery of gas at, Elwood was the only cause of the tin plate factory there. Again let us ask what cause they will give for the starting of a tin i)late factory by those who have no gas and immediately after the passing of the McKinlev bill instead of before.

DR. BURROUGHS AND WABASH COLLEGE. The acceptance of Dr. George S. Burroughs of the presidency of Wabash College is a momentous event in the history of that institution. It means a number of things. It means that an experiment is being made and that the policy of the college will be considerably changed in some respects at least that there will be a much needed branching out and a subdivision of labor that a great effort will be made to increase the endowment of the college and its number of students that the work of the new administration will be closely watched and criticized, (in a friendly manner of course) by all persons interested in the institution, that it wrill receive much more general attention now for awhile than it has during tho past few years.

It may mean a number of other things. It may mean co-education for instance, but beyond such secondary matters it may mean something el^e. It may mean that the college will begin an unparalleled era of prosperity and advancement and it may mean a temporary halt and failure. Looking at matters from the most unfavorable standpoint THE JOUHNAL inclines decidedly to the idea of progress under the new regime, but a few things are nevertheless very patent. Notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Burroughs iB a famous scholar and brilliant man of affairs, with all the energy of youth and the zeal of devotion, he cannot move the world alone. He must have co-operation. Cooperation will be the corner stone of his success and a lack of it the cause of his failure. Every friend of the college must lend a hand. There must be no conflict of opinion. Dr. Burroughs mu6t frame his own policy and that must be the policy of all the rest. It is his business to know his position and the college's needs and when he gives a command or makes a suggestion it is to be hoped debate on the matter will be limited. Dr. Burroughs is a Christian gentleman, a practical business man, a scholar and an educator and what he sayB ought to be about right. He needs the co-operation of all, however, and he has to have it. For others now to sit idly back and wait for the new president to "do it all" means failure.

LEND A HAND.

Wabash College must raise $30,000 by December and every friend should be ready to lend a hand. A great many will probably feel like saying, "Admit the girls and I will subscribe," but all such should reserve their remarks until this important crisis is past and be as liberal as possible. Afterwards the coeducation agitation may be begun in earnest and THE JOUKNAL firmly believes it will be successful. There is a strong and growing sentiment among the trustees and what is mora important among the moneyed friends of the institution in favor of admitting the girls and in all probability it will crystallize into something definite by next commencement.

IN 1885 the indebtedness of the counties in the U. S. per capita was $2.47 while in 1890 it was $2.27. In 1885 the indebtedness of States and Territories was $5.79, while in 1890 it was $3.56. In 1885 the indebtedness of the United States was $38.35, while in 1890 it was $14.J3. In 1880 the indebtedness of Indiana was $25.31 per capita, while in 1890 it was $38.S6. The general decrease has been 54 per cent, while Indiana's increase in State debt has been 52 per cent. And yet there are Democrats who insist that Indiana's financial affairs have been well managed.

In ancient days for many an ill, We used to take a big blue pill. It did so surely tear and gripe, We felt for purgatory ripe. To-day, when sick, we take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are gently aperient or strongly cathartic, according to size of dose. Cures Sick Headache, Billions Headache, Constipation, Indigestion, Billions Attacks, and all derangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels. Put up in vials, hermetically sealed, hence always fresh and reliable. Purely vegetable, they operate without disturbance to the system, diet or occupation. Sold by druggists, at 25 a vial.

As a general rule, it is best nut to correct costiveness by the use of ealite or drastic medicines. When a purgative is needed, the most prompt, effective, and beneficial is Ayer's Pills. Their tendency is to restore, aud not weaken, the normal action of the bowels.

When the hair begins to fall out or turn gray, the scalp needs doctoring, and we know of no better specific than Hpll's Vegetable Sicillian Hair Renewer.
