SATUEDAS, AUGUST 19, 1893.

TO THE PUBLIC,

W. C. Stewart has been employed- by TIIE JOUUXAL 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.

Six hundred thousand men are out of work in New England.

THE Democratic roosters of 1892 which crowed more than a million skilled workmen out of place, wont even make soap for the hungry in 1893.

DEMOCRATIC stump speakers told the people last fall that everything would be cheaper when the McKinley law was repealed. The era of cheapness has certainly begun, but how doth it profit a man if prices fall after he hath lost the means to buy

GRKENCASTLE Banner:—Since the price of wheat has fallen toJ50 cents per bushel under the reign of old Grover, the Democratic newspapers have found one old moss-back who owns two farms near Lafayette, and who {claims that wheat can be raised at a profit at 50 cents a bushel. This must be consoling to the old Democratic farmer who received from 72 to 85 cents per bushel for his wheat, under Harrison.

THE quiokeBt remedy for existing evils is for the Democratic party to ddolare at once for suoh a currency and finanoial policy as the people will regard as sound. It should also declare that there shall be no change in the present tariff law, and should then adjourn. The second best remedy would be for the present Democratic Congress to declare at once its position on the currency and tariff questions, put the Bame on the statute books and then adjourn.

CONGBESS gets at its work slowly. It will be noticed that the Republicans are more anxious than the Democrats to secure an early vote on the question of the repeal of the

Bilver

purchasing act.

Senator Lodge proposed that the vote should take place on the 22nd inst., and Senator Hale wanted the working hours of the Senate lenghtened out BO AB to hurry up work on the question. Senator Voorhess denounced both propositions as demagoguerj. By a strict party vote the Senate thereupon adjourned until next Monday.

THE Chicago Inter-Ocean gives its opinion aB to what Congress should do in a few brief sentences. It says:

Repeal at once tlie purchase clause of the so-called Sherman act. Pledge the government to rmaintain on an equality with Rold our entire^stock of money, viz: Gold, silver, silver certificates, greenbacks, and every obligation of the government.

Authorize and direct the (Secretory of the Treasury to sell gold bonds when necessary to protect this pledge.

Permit and require Natlonal|banks to issue notes to the full par value of the bonds deposited by them to secure circulation.

Pass a joint resolution not a disturb the tariff for two years.

IF Congress wishes to set things right and to restore prosperity, its first duty is to restore the confidence of the people in the future successj[of business and of the banking institutions which depend upon the industries and the commerce of the country. Just so long aB there hangs over all industry and all trade the threat of a change in the currency or the threat of a change in the tariff which would prostrate almost everything, it is but reasonable to expect that distrust will continue, and that money will be scarce and hard to get.

THE Indianapolis News has become a very rabid gold-bug paper, That is where it is lalse to the people—Star.

In the Bame paper of the same date may be found the following: Mr. Cleveland speaks out plainly and forcibly. His message is a great state document and so tersely stated that even a school boy can understand it.

The message is just as rabid in its gold bug ideas as the News dare be, and yet in the case of the newspaper it is "false to the people" while in the case of the President his message is "a great State document." If the News is "false to the people" why is not the President who entertains the same views in the same predicament

A DISGRACE TO THE STATE. The Rob infamy is becoming more infamous and odorous every day. It began timorously until a weak and impotent Governor demonstrated by his actions, or rather his lack of action, that he would not interfere. Then the thugs and blacklegs, who swarm from the slums and dives of Chicago to Indiana soil to conduct those beastly scenes which even Chicago's loathsome law cannot abide, began to grow bold. It was openly declared that Indiana's moral element could not prevent prize fights and beastly exhibitions from being given on her soil and the law of our late unlamented legislature was shaken as a proof of this humiliating declaration. The management of this disreputable hellhole hae begun to flaunt its noisome wares broadcast over the State ignoring the laws of decency and the statutes of the commonwealth. The press is importuned to send representatives to these brute struggles and to advertise them as "clever fistic exhibitions." Elegantly executed posters are sent out and the whole thing conducted so openly, so boldly and so defiantly that every true citizen must turn from the thought in disgust. Last autumn when the Sulli-van-Corbect fight occurred in darkest New Orleans the nation blushed for the shame put upon her by the State of Louisiana. What does the nation now think of Indiana, the pioneer in public schools, the State of churches, and the home of scholars? What, in the name of heaven do the people of Indiana think?

One of the disgraceful posters advertising an announced disgraoeful fight has been robbed of its date and essential advertising features and placed in THE JOTJENAL office window for the inspection and edification of an admiring public. We want the good people of Crawfordsville to come and see it, we want them to think just what it means, to remember what made the Koby infamy possible and to continue to rememit until after the election of our next legislature. Is it to be wondered that the name of Indiana is a by word and a reproach across her boundary line.

THE New York Press balances the books and

Bums

up the visible losses

which have occurred since the election of Grover Cleveland, nine months ago last Tuesday. The period will be known in future years BB the "Cleveland panic of 1893." The loss in vested securities amounts to the stupendous sum of $624,359,114 in stocks, $325,000,000 in bonds, $100,000,000 on a full crop of wheat at "Cleveland pr'ces," $208,000,000 on a full crop of corn and $24,000,000 on the cotton crop. There is no class of the community but that will feel the loss. Whatever the cause, whether it be the disturbance of trade caused by threatened tariff changes, or, as free traders assert, the silyer aot which a majority of Democrats refused to repeal last Winter, the responsibility must be borne by the Democratic party alone. If the silver law is the true malady Congress can cure it in a week

MR. CLEVELAND is sorely troubled because the workingmbn is always the first to feel the hurt inflicted by a depreciated currency. What hurts the workingmen more than anything else just now is the opportunity to earn any kind of a dollar. Our currency is just as good as it ever was, whether it is gold, silver, greenbacks, silyer certificates,

Bilver

treasury

notes, or national bank notes. No person is refusing to take any of it. In fact our currency is so good that it commands a premium.

THE Comptroller of Currency, young Mr. Eckles, has an article in the current number of the North American Review, in which he makes the assertion that the financial collapse has come beoause the protective policy has over-stimulated production enterprises. But, if our mills have been producing too much, why did we import last year $100,000,000 worth of manufactured goods from Europe? The young man must find other causes.

HUNTINGTON llcrald: The pension board of- Carroll county, recently appointed by Hoke Smith, Las two especially well qualified members in the Hon. Secretary's opinion. One served three years in the rebel army, and the other graduated from a medical college only three monthd since.

THE Iowa State Register observes that the Cleveland "clover" about which the Democrats sang last year never grew to be more than knee high to a grass hopper. The cows that are grazing in that pasture are all bones and give no milk.

IT is well to remember in these days that the tariff is still a tux.—Indianapolis News. The impressive "object lesson" that the people are now learning is that the Democratic party is a tax.

Two nioMiNENT issues dropped entirely out of sight in President Cleveland's message. One iB State bank currency and the other is the income tax.

CLEARING HOUSES.

To the Editor of THE JOURNAL.

In these days we see a good deal said about the clearing house but there are not many people who understand thoir workings. For the benefit of the many, myself among the number, will you give an explanation as to their object and how they are run

INQUIRER.

A clearing house is an institution in banking, formed to diminish the friction due to a complication of a multitude of transactions among a number of financial institutions. The arrangement of the establishment may be briefly described. From time to time during the day, say begining about 9 o'clock, each bank which is a member of the association sends to the clearing house by a clerk and a messenger checks and bills which are payable by other banks. The clerk of each bank has a table where he takes his place ready to begin business at the announcent from the manager. The checks and bills belonging to each bank are previously classified, placed in an envelope with the name of the bank printed thereon and thejamount written. At the tap of a bell business begins,the messengers beginning on the left and passing the envelopes to the right. "jThe clerks make up the classifition, taking account of the obligations coming against their own bank. By this system of exchanges and balances it is estimated that $5 cash or even less will answer the purpose of $100. At 3 o'clock the clearing house books are closed, and each bank has till 3:30 o'clock to decide whether it will honor the drafts upon it and by 4 o'clock the officials of the clearing house are able to learn that the several banks are agreed among themselves, who has to pay and who has to receive, by making up a detailed account which is sent to each member of the clearing house association. Thus the'clearing house is really a common center, so to speak, where all accounts between different institutions are settled. There are modifications of this plan in different localities, but the above presents the main featuies.,

THE Frankfort Crescent, a Democratic paper, denounces the President's message in no uncertain tone. It says:

The message in itself is but a reflex of Pres ident Cleveland's well known viewg*on the question of bimetallic currency. Time and existing conditions has not changed his opinions, but instead he goes a step farther and says gold and silver must'.part company." Gold, one gold alone, must be the standard of value. The Crescent regrets that the President has placed himself in antagonism to the pledsre in the Chicago platform. As the chier executive he has given to the country his individual opinions. That does not bind the law making Dower. Upon congress rests the responsibility, and to that body must the people look for relief.

The Democracy is not only divided in Congress but is at cross purposes all over the country. A few in this city damn it with faint praise.

No bank is strong enough to withstand a run. The theory of banking is that the money deposited shall be loaned out at interest and thus made widely useful. If the bank kept all its deposits locked up in its safe it would not be a bank and could not do business. It follows that the money which is thus in cannot all be paid back to the depositors on demand. A reasonable proportion is kept on hand for this purpose, but if all the depositors demand their money at once the bank must suspend. All these bank failures area sign not of insecurity, but of distrust.

IN response to a request from the New York Press to get his views concerning: the financial situation ex-Presi-dent Harrison modestly declined to state them at length, and added:

The most distressing feature, to me, of the present situation is the closing of so many mills. My sympathy is moved for the man who, having two millions, loses one but his case does noe approach in sadness that of the workman who looses the daily wages upon which his family depends, I have before expressed the hope that the "Society of the Unemployed" might not find an American domicile, and I now most devoutly hope that the present conditions may prove to' be temporary, for, if they extend into winter, there will be great suffering.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND asserts in his mesBage that the panic has been caused by the prevalent belief that the currency of the country would lose its gold value as the nation moved toward a silver basis. But everybody knows that the stringency in the money market is due solely to the fact that the currency is hoarded by individual holders, is this the usual method of manifesting want of faith in the stability and soundness of currency Do men hoard their money which they believe will depreci ate while they have it? Not much.

"AN old stocking," "a bureau drawer," or even "an old stove" is a poor place to hide money. After all the vaults of a good bank are much safer.

THE biggest tax on the business of the country at the present time is a Democratic Administration and Congres.

THE man who does most to shorten the special session will stand the best chances of securing popular applause.

TJ the Editor Journal: In your last week's issue In your remarks In regard to what Gen. Boynton has to say you proceed to give the regiments composing Gen. Sim Beatty's(not Dick's) Brigade,which shows that we should not untoad our memory and pain. It off as true history, and as I was a member of sa'.d brigade from its organization until after the fall of Atlanta, I beg leave,with your permission, to correct the mis-statements therein, notwithstanding the editor was also a member of said brigade. It was composed of the following regiments and no others: i:ith. 19th and 59th Ohio, 70th and 86ch Ind. and 9th Ky. The Ohio and Kentucky regiments being the original brigade and as such went with Buel to Shiloh and followed Bragg back to Louisville, where the two Indiana regiments were added. ThelOth andSOth ofSeptember are at hand which will bring the 30th anniversary of that bloody encounter. Any true history of those days will be read with interest not only by the 86th boys alone, bat by all comrades composing said brigade. Believing that you will stand corrected by call vour attention to the facts, I am.

THE fact that President Cleveland was compelled to leave Washington jast at this important period indicates that he is probably a very sick man. However much Republicans may dissent from his political views and criticise his position on public questions all will join in the prayer that his health may be restored and that he will live during the four years for which he was elected. Conservative Democrats with Republicans regard him as a much safer man to run the affairs of the government than would be his constitutional successor.

CONGRESSMAN J. H. WALKER, of Massachusetts, who was re-elected for a third term last fall, said to the New York Press the other day: "The whole country is down on its knees praying that the Democratic party won't keep its promises, for if they should be fulfilled the country would be ruined. As it is great manufacturing industries in New England are prostrated, while thousands of men and women operatives are idle. The fear of a reduction of the tariff iB the prime cause, the

being only incidental."

agitation

THE New York Press estimates that at last year's prices this year's corn crop would have been worth $992,000,000. Owing to the depreciation in price since Cleveland's election it will actually be worth only about $784,000,000. The farmer, as well as the faotory hand,must pay the penalty of Democratic rule.

LAST year the Democrats came within about 1,000 votes of carrying Ohio, but from the way the leading Democrats of the State dodged the Gubernatorial nomination it is evident they think they won't come within 40,000 of carrying it this year.

FIFTEEN years ago there wasn't an electric light burning out of doors. Now electricity lights about 1,850 towns. And yet electricity is but in its infancy. Its possibilities are not even conjectural.

that friend

Simpson should not "unload his memory and palm it off as history." The regiments "Composing Dick's brigade at the battle of Chickamauga were the 13th and 59 th Ohio and the 44th and 86 uh Indiana. The formation of this brigade was made on the 30th day of October, 1862, when Rosecrans assumed the command of the Army of the Cumberland. It was known as the Second Brigade, Third Division, Twenty-first Army Corps. The brigade was first commanded by Col. J. P. Fyffe, of the 59th Ohio, and afterwards by Col. George F. Dick, of the 86th Indiana, the latter being in command ot the battle of Chickamauga. Gen. H. P. Vancleave commanded the Division. This brigade remained thus organized until the 19th of October,1863,just one month after the battle of Chickamauga, when the army was reorganized, General Thomas succeeding General Rosecrans. The 9th Kentuoky up to that time formed a part of the First Brigade, Third Division, of the Twenty-first Army Corps, the other regiments being the 19th Ohio, 11th Kentucky and the 79th Indiana and was commanded by Gen. Sam Beatty. Upon the reorganization of the Army the Twenty-first Corps passed out of existence and was succeeded by the Fourth Corps. Then it was on the 19th of October, 1863, that the 9th Kentucky, the 17th Kentucky, the 13th Ohio, the 19th Ohio, the 59th Ohio, the 79th Indiana and the 86th Indiana were formed into the 3d Brigade, 3d Division, 4th Army Corps, with Gen. Sam Beatty in command of the brigade and Gen. T. J. Wood in command of the Division. As thus organized the brigade remained intact until the close of the war, and did its share of the fighting. Our good friend, Simpson, should brush up his memory and revise his history.
