TO THE PUBLIC,

W. C. Stewart has been employed by THE JOURNAL 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.

WHENEVER the Indianapolis Neivs takes snuff the Richmond Item sneezes.

THERE is a

Bcrew

loose somewhere.

Gil Shanklin hasn't been "mentioned" in connection with some fat appointment in oonsonance with his talents for a fortnight. The leader of the ninety per centB is traveling a rooky road.

WHETHER it iB true or not the people generally believe that there are four or five gambling dens in operation. Perhaps the police board might investigate and if it is not true place the suspected parties right before the public.

CJ:NATOR VOORHEES dropped alive bug in Hoke Smith's right ear when he declared in his place in the Senate that "there is no more fraud in the pension system than there is in any other institution incident to human affairs."

THE Indianapolis News has discovered a manufacturer of plate glass who wants the duty removed, but his letter has been lost and therefore his name must remain in oblivion. And it is on such meat as this that the average free trader feeds.

COUNCILMAN REYNOLDS promised not to let up on the police board until they obeyed orders and enforced the laws. What will be say at the council meeting to-night? Do the police still "do as they please Does the police board have any authority?

JACK LANDERS, a Demoorat and the principal stockholder in the Encaustic Tile Works at Indianapolis, appeared before the Ways and Means Committee yesterday to protest against any reduction of the tariff on encaustic tiling. A Democratic manufacturer is in favor of free trade in everything except in the article in which he is financially interested.

THE fact that labor

getB the principal

benefit of tariff duties is being presented to the Ways and Means Committee in a very distinct and forcible manner. Manufacturers and their employes by the scores have appeared and testified that a reduction of the tariff would be ruinous both to business and labor. Importers and foreigners alone have asked for free trade. The latter of course, will be favored. The committee is built that way.

IN September Blue and Gray, Mr. Edwin Lewis 8uter makes a very forcible plea for a Pan-American Congress to adopt a system of bimetallic currency that ehall be uniform throughout all of America south of the great lakes. Mr. Suter thinks that by this means the United States could not only oontrol all of the rich trade of South America Central America, and Mexico, but could force all Europe to our terms, and bring the money center of the world to this continent.

A LARGE employer of labor in New York State, who supported Mr. Cleveland last fall, is 'quoted by the New York Mail and Express as saying that he is "glad we are to have tariff reform and a reduction of wages the American workingman has been earning too much money, and it is about time he were taught a lesson by experience." This brutal remark peems to have been suggested by the unwillingness of some of his employes to have their wages reduced. Scratch the back of a Democratic manufacturer who wants the tariff reduced and you scratch the back of a man who believes that wage earners are getting too much money for their labor. Such men believe that labor could be more easily controled, that there would be fewer strikes, if they were kept down and not permitted to enjoy the comforts of life. A reduction in the tariff means a reduction in wages.

AN AUSTRIAN'S [PLEA..

An Austrian woolen manufacturer appeared before the Ways and Mans Committee the other day and pleaded eloquently in support of the proposition that it is the duty of the American Congress to reduce the tariff rates for the benefit of foreign manufacturers. He frankly admitted that the average wages paid in manufacturing industries in Europe are about one-half as much as in the United States, and that wages in Austria are lower than any other country in Europe. He also admitted that his own business would be benefitted and the importations of woolen goods from Austria into the United States vastly increased by the reduction of duties. The argument he made in favor of a lowering of tariff rates was exactly in line with that of the protectionist in the United States. Every pound of wool and every yard of cloth manufactured abroad would displace the same amount produced and manufactured here as well &B displace the labor that is required to prodnce it. We already feel the effects of idle mills and unemployed lnbor. Three-fourths of the woolen mills of the country are now closed, tens of thousands of industrious and honest workingmen and women are idle, with little or no prospect of employment before winter overtakes them, and the wages of a large proportion of those wLo are still working have been reduced outright, or by the shortening of time employed. Do we want more Austrian wool, more Austrian woolen goods manufactured by cheap Austrian labor If we do let us adopt the Austrian's suggestions and grant the Austrian's plea.

REPUBLICAN statesmen were numerous in suggestions when it came to the question of disposing ofntlie surplus in the treasury at the close of Cleveland's::ilrst term, but in raising money for the deficit they exhibit no practical, sound, common sense whatever. Practical suggestions, aside frotn party Interest, they do not possess.—Review.

Thirty years of power showed that the Republicans exhibited a good deal of praotical, sound, common Bense in raising money. They assumed the reins of government with a bankrupt treasury, left so by a Democratic Administration. They not only provided for the deficit but the means to carry on and suppress the most gigantic rebellion in modern history. They used the surplus left by the Cleveland Administration in paying off nearly four hundrea millions of interest bearing bonds. As to the deficit of $50,000,000 that will accrue at the end of the next fiscal year, "practical suggestions" are not in order from the Republicans as the scepter of power has passed from their hands. Even if they were to be made they would not be heeded. Having the President and both Houses of Congress it devolves upon the Democratic party to apply themselves to the work of evolving some "practical suggestions."

THE most blatant howlers for an income tax are those fellows who have no incomes. They are willing that the other fellows shall pay the taxes but are unwilling to share their proportion of the burdens. The fact is that an income tax is a fine upon thrift and economy, and is a heavy and unequal burden on production. The country tried an income tax immediately following the close of the war., It was a necessity then, but it proved to be a most unpopular measure and it was repealed. It would be even more unpopular now for the reason that there is no necessity except to cover the defioit in the revenue which a free trade tariff is expected to create. It is a declaration on one hand that American industries are to be crippled, and on the other hand that such as survive are to be be subjected to fresh burdens. Au Alabama Democrat has introduced a bill in Congress to revive this odious tax, but it is safe to say that he represents a district whose people have no incomes. It will hardly become a law.

THE President has nailed his colors to the mast for unconditional repeal, and he will stand by them until the last. He refuses to consider any proposals to compromise, notwithstanding he is faced with threats of desertion in the House for his failure to support the repeal of the Federal Election laws, and in defiance of the combination in the Senate to support the Faulkner compromise. A bitter feeling has been engendered between the two Democratic factions the end of which no man can tell. Of course the Republicans are enjoying the confused situation.

THIRTY years ago to-day was fought he first day's engagement of the bloody and sanguinary battle of Chickamauga. The boys who participated in that memorable struggle are now on the down hill of life. Many have already been mustered out. With others theii term of service is nearly over. Hats off to the passing column!

THE Board of Health of Frankfort LBS passed an order placing that city in quarantine against Muncie.

THE impatience starts from Harrison himself aud scheming Republican political leaders in many localities who aim to build up and maintain their party through the pension department. which in former years pushed forward the claims of ex-soldiers for pension1?, where political prestige could be maintiined over those of opposite political faith.—Review.

In former years the claims of exsoldiers were recognized regardless of their political faith. For instance there WHB Gen. John C. Black who draws a pension of $100, besides he has been able to draw $5,000 a year as Pension Commissioner and is now receiving the same salary as Congressman-at-large from Illinois. Then there is Gen. Daniel E. Sickles who draws. a full Brigadier's pension, drew the salary and fees of the sheriff's office of New York, and is now drawing a salary of $5,000 a year as a member of Congress. Judge Allen B. Morse, of Michigan, draws a large pension, and at the same time received a salary as Chief Justice, afterwards a salary as Governor and now the salary of Consul General at Glasgow. And so of Judge W. Q. Gresham who is drawing a large pension, and for years has held a fat office. In fact the time never has been since the war that Judge Gresham was not a double pensioner on the Government. So the list of Democratic pensioners might be continued almost indefinitely. Why has not the "purging" posse of guerrillas in the pension office made an example of one or more of its active sympathizers, and not confined themselves to the poor devils who receive but a small pittance It would have inspired greater confidence in the sincerity of the great work of reform.

THE Mt. Vernon Democrat is mad all over at the Democratic Congressmen who voted for the repeal of the Sherman act, in the House. It pays its respects to Congressman Cooper as follows:

Congressman Cooper, of the Fifth Indiana District, who was elected on a platform demanding the use of both silver and gold for money, broke his political neck Monday when he made a speech In opposition to the free coinage of silver. Mr. Cooper fn deserting the platform which was good enough to be elected on, shows very plainly that Uncle Dan Voorhees and bis patronage pull haye got in their work on him. His constituency should lose no time In retiring him from the position in which he Is now misreprenting them.

The Democrat boils over in the following style, also: Oh Patronage! As a perverter of statesmen's opinions, and as an inducement to forget party platforms, thou art the "lulu bird with the long tall."

And does not let the grave and reverend Senators alone either. The Dem ocrat says:

Senator Turpie is holding onto Uncle Dan Voorhees' coat-tails like grim death. It's the worst case of "Me Too" the people of Indiana have been afflicted with.

The Democrat Bhould have turned its attention to Brookshire and the other Democratic Congressmen who voted for repeal.

IT is no mark of greatness lor a public man to forget the common people who made him. (t was a characteristic of Lincoln, a tribute to his greatness, that he never forgot to listen to the great plain people.—Frankfort Crescent.

This is a frank acknowledgment that the Democratic party during the war was not composed of the "great plain people," as no man since the beginning^ of time was the subject of more wicked abuse and censure than was Abraham Lincoln at the hands of this same Democratic party. The Democratic press and speakers from the time he was nominated until he was struck down by a Democratic assassin's bullet denounced him in season and out of reason aB a poltroon, and a tyrant. In fact the English language was exhausted in finding terms to apply expressive of their derisive scorn and contempt for this the greatest and best man who ever occupied the Presidential chair. For a Democratic paper now to pay tribute to his greatness partakes too much of sniveling hypocrisy. ,,

S

THE New York Press calls attention to the fact that in 1883 imported wire naile cost the American consumer $10 a keg. To-day he buys a better quality of wire nails of domestic manufacture [for $1.90 a keg. In 1883 Americans paid $68 per ton for English wire rods. To-day domestic wire rods of a superior quality cost $30 per ton. Ten years ago the American farmer paid 10 cents a pound for barb wire for fences. Now he gets •his barb wire for 2^ cents a pound. Yet the Democratic party wants to destroy the protective system, which has cheapened these products by building up home industries in which American workingmen get more than twice as much wages as the same class of labor gets abroad.

THE last Democratic administration before the war put the government in debt in time of profound peace. The present Demoratic administration shows the same condition because the Democratic Congress made $38,498,000 larger expenditure than "the billion dollar Congress." And yet there are people who vote to let the Democratic party manage this government.
