Facts to be Remembered,

The Republican party, by its representatives in Congress, removed the tariff fro'n Sugar. THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS

VOTED UNANIMOUSLY AC A INST REPEALING THE TARIFF ON SUGAR. The Mills tariff bill which the Democrats formulated and passed through the

Hou«e PUT A TARIFFOF2K CENTS PER POUND ON SUGAR. This was in accordance with the recomenmcmlation of Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury, who said, in Ins ofliciul

Report 1*8(5: "Our own sugar crop is so very small apart of the total amount of sugar we consume that sugar ranks next to articles wholly produced abroad lwe tea and coffee in suitability for (tariff) taxation, on the ground that its consumption is universal, that the tax is easily and cheaply collected, that the increase price paid by the consumer is an unconsidered trille," etc. The "unconsidered trille" of a tax on sugar as Mr. Manning sho A*S in the next p.»ratrraph ol' his report, is nearly fifty-two millions of dollars yearly: and of this is mostlv paid bv the poor people for

NINETY-NINE HUNDREDTHS of THOSE WHO USE SUGAK ARE POOR. President Cleveland sent this recornmendation of his Secrtur.v of the Treasury to Congress with his approval. Henry Watterson, who did more than all others to secure the adoption of the free trade piank in the Chicago Democratic platform said in his paper of

Aug. C»th, lSSKj "WE WILL RERSTABLISH THE TARIFF ON SUGAR YIELDING AHOUT S.j().)000.(!00 ANNUALY TO THE TREASURY." Let every poor man ponder these facts and if he wants to be taxed just as much as the rich man. let him vote for Brookslnre. and Mr. Watterson's "revenue tariff on sugar." But if he wants sugar to remain free, let him vote the Republican ticket.

THE WAR OF THEORIES.

When men disregard facts and rely altogether on mere theories, there is but little concord of opinion among them. Hence we find that every Democrat has a theory of his own, and that the various arguments submitted by Democratic leaders against protection, are as inharmonious as a barnyard full of game roosters. We have all beard so much in this campaign about the Robber Barons —meaning the manufacturers—that a great many people will be surprised at an idea inculcated by Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. Daniel Manning, in his ollicial report of 188G. He says of the tariff this: "Defeating our manufacturers in their endeavor to compete abroad with the manufacturers or untaxed raw material, it has 6et them on a ferocious competition, at cut-throat prices, in our own home market, to which they are 6hut up," etc., etc.

It will thud be seen that, according to Secratary Manning's "theory," our manufacturers instead of being Robber Barons, are reduced to distress by a "ferocious competition at cut-throat rates." and that they, and not the consumers of their goods, are the great sufferers from the taritT. The theory that our manufacturers are selling goods at cut-throat prices, under a ferocious competition among themselves, because of the tariff, is very ferociously at war with that other favorite Democratic theory that the tariff compels the consumer to j:ay exorbitant prices for goods. No consumer of manufactures has ever yet been badly injured by high prices where there was a "ferocious warfare, at cut-throat prices," among those from whom he bought his Bupplies. But this theory of Mr. Manning's is an eastern theory. It was intended for use among the manufacturers of the eastern States. The tariff on goods like the tariff on wool, has an eastern and a western aspect. In the east, among the manufacturers of wool, the tariff makes wool high but out west among farmers, the tariff has greatly reduced the price of wool. (See Brookshire's speech) The tariff on wool, according to Brookshire, has set the western farmers "on a ferocious competition at cut-throat prices," and this hus made wool very low, and yet in the eaBt it is necessary the tariff on wool should be wiped out in order our manufacturers may have

that "cheap raw material." In 1H44 we had no telegraphy and few newspapers, and this kind of thing could be worked to advantage but now our Democratic friends will find me serious difficulties

in their way when they nttempt to repeat the Polk policy of that year. Polk was run ns free trader in youth Carolina, and as a protectionist in Pennsylvania and the trick was not known to many till the election was over. But it is hardly possible that such tactics can win in 1862, when almost every voter reads a morning paper before he goes to bed at night.

THii TRUE REASON.

The determination of tho Democratic party to put a tariff on sugar and put tin plate on the free list, is so remarkable a position that it puzzles many people. Mr. Manning, Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury, says there should be a tariff on sugar because it is of universal use, is easily identified, and cheaply collected. But is not tin plate just as universally used as sugar? Is it not just as easily identified, and could not the tariff on it be just as cheaply collected? Nobody will believe that this is the real reason for putting a tariff on sugar and putting tin plate on the free list. Because, if it is a good reason it applies to dozens of other things which the Democratic leaders are determined to put on the free list, if they ever get the power to do so. The truth about it is that the whole scheme originated among the free traders of England, as most free trade schemes have. England does not object to a tariff on sugar because she has none to sell. She does object to a tariff on tin plate because she has much of that article to sell. It is quite a curious coincidence that whatever England wants put on the free list in this country, the Democratic party wants put on the free list. Since it is now demonstrated that the McKinley bill has not increased the price of tin, and will not, what possible reason can any American assign for wishing the tariff removed from that article? Our forty odd tin plate factories are giving work to many laborers—they are having some influence in making home markets for the farmers' produce and no one can possibly point to any harm the tariff on tin plate is doing to any one in this country. If it had increased the price of tin, as Democrats predicted it would, that would be some reason for repealing it. But tin plate and tinware are both cheaper than they were before the tariff I on tin plate went into effect. What reason then is there for putting tin plate on the free list except that it would destroy our tin factories and again give to England the monopoly of furnishing us our tin plate? Will the people of the United States suffer themselves to be thus gulled by the tin plate makers of England?

IS THE TARIFF A TAXI

The Republican party has always fairly stated its objects in imposing duties upon foreign goods. Republican legislation in Congress has always been founded upon an underlying principle that we should legislate for America, that we should buy nothing abroad when we had the raw material, labor and skill to make at home all things necessary to make us independent of foreign countries. The Democratic party as an organization has pronounced itself to legislate with the principle of free trade as its guiding star that protection is unconstitutional and a robbery and that we should be permitted to buy where we can buy cheapest, regardless of those who are engaged in making like articles in thiB country. For the benefit of those who deny facts and will not try to ascertain the truth, we will state that about 1873 two of our leading merchants—Campbell Bros, p.nd B. L. Ornbaun—bought five large French plate glass for the sum of $625, or about $2.25 per square foot. A tariff of 50 cents per square foot was placed on the foreign glass and as a consequence the industry was built uj: in this country and the st plate glass of American make can now be made and bought in Indiana for one-third the foreign price twenty years ago, and yet there are some who still claim that the "tariff is a tax." "if*,,

After twenty years of experience the Republican party is willing to face its predictions as to the plate glass indus-

Will any Democrat be willing to

try. face his prediction tnade twenty years ago and now say that plate glass is selling for $2.75 per square foot—the old price with the tariff added?

Northwest Indiana Conference. TERRE HAUTE, Ir.d., Oct.. 13.—The first session of the forty-first annual Northwest Indiana conference convened Wednesday morning at Centenary church. Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald, assisted by the presiding elders, administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Rev. II. M. Middleton, presiding elder of the Crawfordsville district, read his report. It showed a large increase in membership, and that a large reduction had been made in the church debt. The preachers in the district then submitted their reports, show my the amount if collections during the year for missionary work and for various funds. Rev. D. M. Wood, presiding elder of the Greencastle district, reported that several new churches are in process of erection and that tlie church debt is being reduced and that Methodism is in a prosper ous condition in this district.

[Special Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Another Democratic idol has fallen. Another Democratic "campaign issue" has been destroyed. And this, too, by Mr. Cleveland himself.

The Democratic party has certainly been unfortunate in its issues in this campaign. 11 tariff issue was destroyed by a member of its own part}-—Labor Commissioner Peck. Its wildcat currency issue was destroyed by members of its own party innumerable, who denounce it unsparingly. And now its last and only remaining issue, the force bili, has been destroyed by Mr. Cleveland himself.

It came about in this way. Some wretched person with a good memory, who had listened with amusement and amazement to the plantive wails of the Democracy about the force bill, suddenly remembered that Mr. Cleveland, while president and a candidate for re-elec-tion, not only authorized, but absolutely ordered for his own benefit, the enforcement of the ver" force bill features of the then existing law, about which Democrats are now so much agitated.

This discovery has been the political event of the week. It was as much of a bombshell in the Democratic camp as was the Peck report a few weeks ago. It takes away the last leg tho Democrats lunl to stand on. Tho three issues upon which they were making or attempting to make their fight in this campaign were free trade, free banks, free frauds at the polls. Curiously every one c.f them has been knocked ottt, and that, too, by Democrats. But the most distressing thing is that the distraction of tho last one of these issues left to tho parly should have come about through an oflicial act of the party's own candidate while he occupied the White House. And this ho did with the purpose of reelecting himself president of tho United States.

The facts are these, and they are very interesting: The so called "force bill simply proposed to extend to small towns and country districts of the United States the law which has been in force for years through which United States marshals and supervisors of elections, enforce order and prevent fraud in any city of 20,000 inhabitants or more in elections for congressmen or other United States officials. The recent discovery, which has created such a panic in Democratic circles and taken away the last vestige of an "issue." was the fact that President Grover Cleveland, on tLc approach of the election of 1SSS, when he was a candidate for re-election for the presidency, issued to Attorney General •Pan Electric" Garland, under date of Oct. 5, LSSS, the following order:

DKAII

Silt —You aro hereby requested to ttiko

general charge and direction of the execution of the Uitiites of the United .States touching the appointments of supervisors of elections and spccial deputy marshals, and the performance of their duties and their compensation, so far as these subjects are by tho constitution and laws under the supervision and control of the executive branch of the government. Yours truly, Gitov::it

CLEVELAND.

Immediately afterward this letter was sent by Attorney General Garland to United States marshals:

Sin—In pursuance of a letter of the 5th inst. from the president, directing the attorney general to take charge of the "appointment of special deputy marshals, the performance of their duties and their compensation, together with the compensation of supervisors," at the congressional election in N vemher next, your attention is directed to ihe provisions of titles and 20, chapter 7, title 70 of the Revised Statutes. Under sections 2.02J and 2.1KM Revised Statutes you have power to keep tho peace, protect supervisor.-. reserve order, prevent frauds and enforce iie law i:i towns of SO.OOU inhabitants and upv. -.nl. You should make yourself familiar wit! tue statutes referred to and see that they eve understood by your deputies, who should be discreet men, impressed with tho importance of an honest franchise.

The manner of discharging these duties by yourself and your deputies is largely left to your discretion. In matters involving questions of law you are directed to consult the attorney of tho United States for your district for needed information and advice. It is assumed that the duties can be performed without infringing upon the rights of any citizen in a manner that shall be tirm, and at the same time free from any unnecessary display of authority. It is not expected that supervisors and deputy marshals will receive compensation for more than five days' service, and they should be so informed. Within this time all can bo done, it is thought, tlia ought to be. You need vigil-.it men, who are conscientious workers, and no others.

It is thus shown from official records that Air. Cleveland, while president, ordered his subordinates to use, in tho election in which he was himself a candidate, tho very laws to which his party is now so strenuously objecting. The so called force bill, about which Democrats are howling, was the very essence of the act which Mr. Cleveland ordered I his subordinates to enforce for his won re-election. This is all there is to tho force bill bugaboo. It was simply a proposed law providing for an extension to country districts, on the petition of citizens, of the law already in force in the cities of 20,000 inhabitants or more.

What did the force bill really propose to do? It proposed to extend to the country districts, where fraud is now a matter of common occurrence, practically the same law which Mr. Cleveland ordered enforced. It proposed to make false registration or interference with registration a crime: it made keeping false poll lists a crime: it inade election bribes and ballot box stuffing a crime: it required ballot boxes to bo placed in plain sight of voters, and the willful placing in those boxes ot illegal ballots a crime: it made improper manipulation of ballot boxes or ballots a crime. And that is all. That is the law which President Cleveland ordered Ins subordinates to enforce to aid in Ins own re-election, anil it is the proposed law so extended as to bo available for all of the people about which Mr. Cleveland's supporters were howling until they found that one of the last official acts of their candidate sustained all ol' its principles.
