TO THE PUBLIC,
W. C. Stewart has been employed by TNU JOUKXAL as traveling agent. He is authorized, to solicit subscriptions, advertising and all kinds of job printing, and to make collections and receipt for the same. It is his intention to visit every portion of the county within the next few months and we bespeak for him a kind reception by the people.
REDUCTION IN PRIVX. From this date the subscription price of the THE WEEKLY JOURNAL will be SI per year. This reduction is made in order that it raav come within the reach of every family in the county. While there will be a reduction in subscription price there will be no depreciation in the merits of the paper. The aim of its publishers will be to increase its usefulness as a local and family newspaper, While politically THE JOURNAL will ad vocate the principles of the Republican party, yet the news, both local and general, shall reoeive special attention. Try it for a year. Hand your name and your dollar to your nearest agent or to our traveling agent when he calls on you. Of course this reduction in price does not include arrearages.
THE silver bullion now in the vaults of the Treasury would keep the mints busy for five years to coin it all.
GOVERNOR MATTHEWS hee appointed Hon. Henry E. Thayer, of Plymouth, to succeed Hon. Clem Studebaker on the World's Fair Commission.
NOTWITHSTANDING the hot wentherthe work of Hoke Smith goos bravely on. Up to date he has suspended 6,842 pensioners, the average being 170 daily. Hoke believes in Retrenchment and Reform with big R's.
THE Philadelphia Press says that the Cleveland volunteers are filling the roads and freight cars as they tramp East. No President since Lincoln has called out more men from their work that Grovor Cleveland.
"GROVER, Grover, four years more of Grover," but the attendant "clover" that was promised, like the $1.25 wheat, has failed to materialize. The country seems to be chewing the rag instead of the aromatic and succulent trejle.
••THE Allegheney county banks," says the Pittsburg Post, "have $90,000,000 on deposit in their vaults," and yet manufacturers are discouraged, the workshops closed, and thousands of men are idle. They know it is no silver law that is playing the mischief with business.
IN June, 1890, there were 101 Democrats in the House who voted for free coinage of silver, among them our own beloved Brookshire, while only 13 Democrats voted against it. Now Brookshire is throwing up his hat for President Cleveland who recommends "other legislative action that may put beyond all doubt or mistake the intention and the ability of the Government to fulfill its pecuniary obligations in money universally recognized by all civilized countries" which means gold or its equivalent and not depreciated silver dollars. How the other one hundred who voted for free coinage will stand on the gold standard message remains to be seen. The attitude of the Tall Demagogue of the Wabash is well known as he has already been bought with patronage.
PRESIDENT RAMSEY, of the Citizens' National Bank, of this city, this morning received notice from the First National Bank of Chicago, the Citizens' correspondent in that city, that in the future it must make a charge on all eastern exohange. The letter stated, that New York exchange is now quoted at $25 to 830 per thousand because of the disinclination of New York banks to send currency on balances. The First Na tional of Chicago is the second largest bank in the United States, the first being the Park National of New York
When wealthy banks like that at Chica go are compelled to make a charge for exchange to their regular correspondents our citizens should not complain when they in turn are charged a nom inal sum by our city banks. The people should stand by the banks in their endeavor to weather the financial storm which ie now passing over the conntry.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
President Cleveland's message to the special session of Congress is brief, not occupying more than a column and a half of nonpareil type. It is devoted entirely to a disoussion of the country's financial affairs, and of course the Sherman silver purchasing act is 'made the scapegoat for the general depression existing throughout the county. He recommends an immediate repeal of this law unconditionally and believes...this to be the panacea for all our ills. That '•culminating atrocity of class legislation," the McKinley law, receives attention in but a single paragraph, but only for the purpose of suggesting a postponement of Congressional action until the financial question is disposed of. The message as a whole ignores the Chicago platform in that he favors a gold basis and that the "unconstitutional tariff" is not at present producing any great harm. The message will be found in full in to-day's JOURNAL and we commend its careful perusal by our readers.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND attributes all our present woes to the Sherman law. He will learn that the repeal of this law will not open the doors of the thous ands of factories which have been closed on account of the Democratic threat to smash the tariff, or will it return the millions of idle operatives to profitable employment. A dozen lines from Mr. Cleveland assuring the country that our industrial establishments would not be disturbed by unfriendly legislation would do more to dispel the distrust that prevails and restore confidence than any tinkering that may be done on the financial question. He has prescribed for the measles when the patient is down wibh a bad case of smallpox.
As THE New York banks are going to increase their circulation to the extent of $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 within the next ten days, and aB about $14,000,000 gold will arrive from Europe in that time, the cuirency stringency is nearly nearly over. But this will not give employment to the countless thousands of idle laboring men or the wherewith to buy bodily sustenance. The threatened changes in the tariff must of necessity delay the return of better times. The holders of this capital will wait to see what effect the smashing of the tariff will have before granting credit to manufactuerers whose business is involved in the necessary readjustments that must follow.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND declareb that the work of tariff revision shall follow the repeal of the Sherman law in the near future. He seems to be perfectly oblivious or utterly indifferent to the fact that the threat of a radical change in our industrial policy is the primary cause of our present lamentable condition. If he had simply said nothing it would have been far better for the country than to repeat and give emphasis to the threat that our grand march of progress shall be reversed.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND say s: "It may be true that the embarrassments from which the business of the country is suffering arise as much from evils apprehended as from those actually existing." The President unwittingly states the oause in a nutshell. The apprehensions from whioh the country is suffering are that our industrial policy is to be torn up root and branch. That's just exactly what's the matter.
NEW YORK'S National banks have a combined capital of $680,000,000 and circulation outstandg of only $162,000,000. They are privileged under the law to issue about $612,000,000. If National banks were privileged to issue to the full amount of the bonds pledged for their redemption it would be perfectly Bafe, and would add largely to the volume of currency.'
THE Montgomery county farmer who got 20 cents a pound for his wool last year is getting 12 cents for it now. The reason is plainly given in the Democrat ic papers. They say that wool is now on a "free trade basis." How do the farmers to whom they promised higher prices for wool as the result of Democratic viotory like this "object lesson?"
CONGRESS has been in session now four days and the "cowardly makeshift," which the Chicago platform oalled the Sherman law, is still on the statute books. The indications are that four months will roll by before it is repealed
WHOEVER BOWS the wind must reap the whirlwind. A plurality of the voters last fall, not satisfied with letting "well enough" alone, sowed the wind, and the business of the country is now waiting to see what the harvest will be.
THE Governor has issued a proclamation fixing Aug 22 as "Indiana Day" at the World's Fair. How would it do for each Hoosier to carry with him a chunk of wood to place in the Forestry Building.
A Monster Ice Cream Supper, They don't do things by halves at Balhinch. When they give an iceoream Bupper they give an ice cream supper. Last Saturday the threshing for the neighborhood was all done and it was decided to spend the evening in pleas ure Accordingly several of the leading citizens made preparations to entertain everybody who would come at the home of Joseph Douglas. A lot of Bristle Ridgers heard about the feast and came in and Balhinchers and Ridgers to the number of one hundred and thirty-nine participated in cake and frozen delioiousness. Music and plays of the oldfashioned kind made time pass quickly away until midnight when the party adjourned.

After farmer Smith struck a vein of water in A. Linn's well he drove a plug in the hole but the pressure become so strong that the plug flew out and shot out of the well three feet.
No $1.25 for wheat, market as flat as Grover's fishing pond, poultry and eggs gone down where McGinty is and the poor old rooster, the emblem of Democracy, hangs his head in shame to think that he only brings two cents per pound in these changing times.
