REDUCTION IN PRICE. From this date the subscription price of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL will be $1 per year. This reduction is made in order that it may 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 advocate the principles of the Republican party, yet the news, both local and general, shall receive 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.

ONE jear ago every man who wanted work could get it and get well paid for it. Well, it is not so now.

THE wheat clearances of last week from Atlantic ports are reported the largest in the hietory of the trade. This is bringing in the gold.

SENATOB VOORHEES, in his great speech, the "greatest effort of his life," rips up Hoke Smith for his pension policy. But Hoke understands that that portion of the "greatest effort" was intended for Northern consumption.

SAYS the Indianapolis Journal: "The trouble with Commissioner Lochren's explanations is that they do not explain. To say that it has been found frauds have been perpetrated by an Iowa attorney does not explain the suspension of thousands of cases in other States.

IN a printed card for regulations for public information, issued by the Wells~4?argo Express Company in the early '50s, the last regulation reads: "This company will not be responsible for any loss or damage occasioned by fire, the acts of God, or of Indians, or any other public 6nemies of the government."

WHEAT stocks on hand at the beginning of the harvest of 1894 will undoubtedly be small. The rate at which exportation is being kept up indicates that«all the wheat which has been carried over from last year and almost all that can be spared of this year's crop after home needs are satisfied will be shipped abroad within the next six or eight months.

CHICAGO Inter-Ocean:—Wheat ranged from 90 cents to SI per bushel for two years after the enactment of the Sherman law, and while "the robber tariff" was robbing at its best. In the meantime with good wages and plenty of work the people are prosperous and happy, Every man oan judge for himBelf whether a change of administrations which threatened undoing the well-set-tled financial affairs of the Nation has not been the prime cause of all the trouble.

THE position of ihe Indiana Congressmen on the pending financial legislation in the House may be stated thus: For unconditional repeal of the Sherman law Messrs. Bynum, Martin, Cooper, Brown and McNagny. For free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 Messrs. Holman, Brookehire, Conn, Taylor and Bretz. The latter may therefore be classed as antiAdministration men. The two Republicans, Messrs. Johnson and Waugh, will vote with the Administration Democrats for unconditional repeal.

THE campaign of 1892 was fought and won on the theory that Republicanism is wrong, and that Republicans were dishonest and unpatriotio. The Democratic victory was sweeping and complete, and that party has such absolute control of the Government that it can do what it pleases with Republican politics which it finds in operation. That party told the people what it would do if it had the power, and the people gave it the power to fulfill these promises. And now comes the party in power and appeals to the Republican party in Congress to help it to do the very thing it promised to do and which it was elected to do.

SENATOR VOORHEES' "greatest effort of his life" was a disappointment to both the repealers and the anti-repealers of the Sherman law. It was the utterance of a demagogue from beginning to end and bore every evidence of being more suited to his constituency in the hills of Brown county than as an address by the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the United States Senate. In his demagogy he found it necessary to enter upon a tirade against the "gigantic evil of the tariff," to talk in praise of the greenbacks, to flatter the silver states, yawp of the campaign of the capitalists for bonds, to charge that gold shipments had been a part of a plan to sack the treasury, to rip up national banks, which he said had tried to bully the government, and to claim that the banks are preparing for their Waterloo to cry out about the millionaires and the laborer, to speak in favor of State banks, and the Lord only knows what else that can be found in the catalogue of a demagogue. The whole speech shows that it was a fulfillment of a contract with the President to vote for repeal in return for official patronage.

SOLDIERS of the old Army of the Cumberland will regret to learn that one of its commanders, General William Starke Rosecrans, at his home in Southern California now awaits the quick coming of the grim messenger. His career during the late war is well known. He reeigned his commission in the regular army in 1867, and for a period in 1868 and 1869 was Minister to Mexico. He then retired to a large estate at San Rafael, Cal., and for several years was engaged in various railroad enterprises. He was in Congress from 1881 to 1885. In June, 1885, he was appointed by President Cleveland Register of the Treasury at Washington, and held that office until a few months ago. General Rosecrans, who is now 74 years of age, is one of the noblest of men, as confiding as a child, as patient as a Christian and as gentle as a woman. His death will leave a wide gap in the ranks of the veterans of the war.

THE American Wool and Cotton Reporter, speaking of the cause of the cause of the shrinkage of orders for cotton and wool fabrics, says:

The tariff policy of the administration, or perhaps it should be put the absence of such a policy, is holding a large proportion of the attention of the cotton manufacturers, and justly so, for European buyers are coming back with stories about what English manufacturers are doing. These latter are accumulating a large stock of goods Intended for the American trade, on the speculation uf getting them in here under a reduced tariff. They are certainly either overconfident or overdaring in taking this chance, and contrast strangely with the policy now being pursued here, where manufacturers not only are unwilling to risk new ventures, but are shutting down old ones for fear of loss through a change in the tariff.

Af^er the Sherman law is repealed, as it probably will be, the people will learn that there are other causes operating to cause the present depression, principal among which is the fear of a change in the tariff policy of the government.

LAST fall the proprietors of the factories at Columbus, this State, all of whom are Democrats, issued a circular over their own signatures promising steady employment and high wages in the event of Cleveland's election. Well, Cleveland was elected. What is the result at Columbus? Every factory owned by these same Democrats has been closed down. The cruel Republican of that city keeps standing at the head of its columns this circular, signatures and all. The clamor for work is loud and long. In the general fund of the city there is $10,000 available for street improvements, and petitions are being circulated asking that the idle men be given work by the city. This is one of the "object lessons" of a Democratic victory.

A STATEMENT prepared by the Mint Bureau, Treasury Department, shows that the production of gold and silver since 1792 up to 1892 aggregated $10,738,869,000, of which $5,633,908,000 was gold and $5,104,961,000 silver. Of the gold produoed $3,582,605,000 has been coined as money and the balance has been used in the arts. Of the silver produced $4,042,700,000 has been coined as money and the balance used in the arts. Of the gold used in the arts it is stated unofficially that most of it is now in graveyards, as the practice of dentistry absorbs a large proportion of the gold so used.

A CORRESPONDENT asks the New York Press what is meant by free silver and that paper answers: "It means that if, as now, the government makes a coin containing 412J grains of standard silver a legal tender dollar, while that weight of silver is worth only sixty-four cents in the bullion market, the government should also coin anybody's 412£ grains of silver into a dollar, free of charge, and give it back to him thus giving the profit on coinage to the man who owns the silver, instead of the people. ....

MACE.

W. B. Walkup attended institute this week. The Big Four gets six of its hands from Mace.

David Durbin is busy witching and boring for water. The Armstrong paw mill is closed for repairs on the boiler.

Charles Abbott, of Mace, and Miss Florence Virta were married Sunday. Jasper Weaver had a horse to drop dead while on his way to Crawfordsville.

Dr. Eddingfield and Henry Delaney will have Finch & Co. roof their houses with Bteel roofing.

Hoke Smith says the pension list must be reduced eighteen million dollars, while Dan Voorhees is trying to increase the bondholders' pension about the same amount.

Our farmers who voted for Cleveland last fall will Burely rejoice on learning that the President landed a nine pound bluefish last week without causing a bank failure.

The Mace Whittling Club has reBnlved itself into a financial congress. Uncle Davy Bratton, S. M. Freeman, clerk,and John Lockridge, Andrew Loop and J.W. Perry are the principal orators.

We saw an item in a paper called the Crawfordsville Star which is not of sufficient magnitude to be visible in the Mace constellation, only when there is a dark shadow hovering over the country. The item appeared over the name of Sam Coulter, charging THE JOURNAL correspondent from Mace with stating in the Mace items that Coulter was a rebel. Mr. Coulter also makes the threat that if we want to live in Mace and live long and do tfell we must not use his name in a Republican paper again. He also wanders back to his happy, innocent boyhood days "down on the farm", which were only marred by the great outpouring of sympathy he had for the then "poor slave in his clanking chains of bondage." He also comes at us in fighting column, skirmish line and reserve and an open road for retreat as to the political complexion of the armies that were engaged in the late war. He says that there were more Democrats in the armies than Republicans. As to the gentleman charging us of intimating he ever was a rebel, we quote all that was said in regard to him in the Mace items, viz: "Sam Cculter has donned the once hated blue." The Southern rebels and all men not favora ble to the Union did hate the blue and the men who wore it. There is such a thing as a defense without a charge be ing preferred admitting the crime. As to the threat made, we expect to live in Mace as happy as these Democratic hard times will admit of, and as to the political status of the two armies we will not deny the gentleman's statement, as the Southern army were all Democrats while there were a great many Douglass Democrats in the Union army, so of course there were more Democrats in the late war than Republicans.

BLACK CREEK.

Everything needs rain. Mrs. Wesley Snyder visited her sister Mrs. P. G. Cowan.

Miss Edna Snyder returned home last Thursday after an extended visit to the World's Fair and also her sister at Milford, 111.

Democrats last fall told us that the "robber tariff" was the great immediate cause of all our woes. If so, why did Mr. Cleveland treat the subject so lightly in his message? He did not even urge Congress to hasten tariff reform or make it the next object of legislation after the silver question was settled. It is is not so much the Sherman silver law that is causing trouble but the attitude of the Chicago tariff plank toward the industries of the country. Men will not invest money in building manufactories or in enlarging old ones when the policy of the administration threatens to ruin them. Let Mr. Cleveland assure the country that the tariff will not be changed and the wheels of progress will again be put in motion.
