FRIDAI, OCTOBER 6,1893.
TO THE PUBLIC,
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.
A tax that goes into private pockets is notli ing more than legalized robDery.—Frankfort. Crcscent.
This ie about as intelligent as Don Cameron's speech.
AMONG the nominations made by the President yesterday was that of Commodore George Brown to be Rear Admiral. He is a cousin of T. E. and Capt. Geo. R. Brown, of this city.
THE Democrats have been in full and complete powei nearly seven months, and the people who did the voting are wondering where the "good Democratic times" which were, promised have gone.
A SOUTHERN Congressman has introduced a bill to refund the cotton tax, which amounts to the sum of $68,072,000. When this is paid it will be in order for some member from that section to introduce a bill to pay for the slaves that were freed.
ACCORDING to a census taken by the Chicago chief of police under the instruction of the Mayor, it is down that 41 per-cent of the persons employed in the various stores and shops a year ago are now either without work or have found employment in some other city.
GOVERNOR MCKINLEY made a neat and telling point in his speeoh at Cleveland the other day. Discussing the cause of our present business troubles he said:
Our money is so good to-day, and every bit of it was authorized by the Republicans, that after the election, and distrust crept In, the people lost confidence in everything but money and the people hoarded it. You never lieara of anybody hoarding State bank money. The trouble Is not moHey. It is elsewhere.
It is the distrust of the Democratic party that has caused all the trouble.
"I BELONG to a party that is not sectional," said Congressman Tucker, of Virginia, who has charge of the Federal election bill, "while you [meaning the Republicans] live on sectionalism." A good many parties have appeared in this country in the 104 years of the existence of the Government under the Constitution, but not one of them ^as ever so persistently, so destructively, so infamously sectional as the Democratic party. Tucker SB an ass.
COL. CARROLL D. WRIGHT, United States Commissioner of Labor, writes in the October Forum that whenever prices ot commodities rise higher relatively than does the price of labor, and that whenever prices go down they go down much lower relatively than the price of labor, which remains ordinarily very nearly at its intlr.Lsd rate. This is the first expert comparative analysis ever published of trustworthy data bearing on this intrincate question.
I WANT our financial conditions and the laws relating to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it In business and new enterprises.—President Cleveland to Governor Northen.
Why plead for conditions that will cause people who have money to spend it, when speaking of the currency and financial condition of the country, and ignore and trample under foot other conditions equally strong to induce peo pie who have money, to spend it in business and new enterprises If the ob ject of the President is to get those who have money, to spend it in new enterprises, he can accomplish his object much sooner if he will get off hit cur rency horse, since it has balked with him, apply the lash to his leaders and warn them to let the McKinley law alone, and forever let the people know that we were to have no tariff tinkering, A high protective tariff is the greatest money distributor known, and since the President has failed in hiB one idea he ought to get another from the last thirty years of our country's experience and legislate so as to keep the money going ae it has during this long period of pro tection.
THE VAN ALAN SCANDAL. The appointment of J. J. Van Alan to the Italian mission has become a national scandal. The matter would not have aroused such stinging criticism if Mr. Cleveland had named Mr. Van Alan simph because, at a critical moment, he had swelled the coffers of the National Democratic committee. It is impossible to escape the conviction that Mr. Cleveland, either personally or by agent made an absolute contract with Mr. Van Alan that he Bhould be sent to Italy, provided he added $50,000 or some substantial amount to the Democratic campaign fund. That such a bargain was made is asserted by the newspaper that Mr. Cleveland himself has characterized as the "leading Demcratic paper of my State," the New York World. This paper, speaking of the Italian mission, says: "When it is known that Mr. Van Alan gave a large sum of money to the National Democratic committee in expectation of receiving this appoint ment the appointment be comes a scandal." That a bargain was made was admitted by Horace White, editor of the New York Post, the leading mugwump journal of the country, and by Richard Watson Gilder, of the Century, admittedly one of Mr. Cleveland's most intimate friends. Mr. White has made the following statement concerning the matter:
"There Is no reason why I should conceal the matter. Both Mr. Gilder and myself agree that the appointment of Mr. Van Alau was unwise. Without regard to his fitness for the position, the fact that lie had paid $50,000 for a position ol government honor was enough to debar him. 1 talked with Mr. Glider soon after the inauguration of President Cleveland last March, and we decided to see if the amount of Mr. Van Alan's contribution to the campaign fund could not be raised among the friends of the President and repaid. We agreed that it would embarrass the President if he appointed Mr. Van Alan. Mr. Gilder agreed to give $1,000 to the proposed fund, and I agreed to give as much more, provided that it the $50,000 contribution was returned to Mr. Van Alan he would agree to withdraw from the race. 1 visited several men and found that the sum of $50,000 could be raised at once without publicity, provided Mr. VanAlan would withdraw his application for the appointment."
It
haB been stated that
the
bargain
was made for Mr. Van Alan by Wm. C. Whitney, but the latter denies it. No such infamous bargain has ever been recorded in the history of the United States.
THE esteemed CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL Bays it is not, after all, so sure about that extraordinary variety of color-blindness which it mentioned the other day as it might be. But one thing it is sure of, and that is that the tariff on a foreign manufactured article never raised the price of a similar article manufactured in this country. It the tariff does not have that effect, that Is to say, if it does not enable an Amei lean manufacturer to sell his product for more than he could get If the tariff did not exist, what in the name of common sense does the tariff do?—Indianapolis News.
We put a plain, direct question to the News. We asked it if there was any known instance in all our history, where a tariff imposed on an article manufactured in this country, had ever increased the price thereof to the consumer. The above is the answer thereto and the only answer any one has aver attempted to give. If the tariff does not increase the price, what in the name of common sense does the tariff do? asks the Neivs. Well the queBtion is easily answered. It makes manufactured articles cheaper We cited the News to wire nails. It does not deny the facts we stated, nor does it attempt to show that it was any other thing than the American competition, brought about by the tariff, that reduced the price of steel wire nails from 8 cents to 3 cents at retail. Such has been the sffect of the tariff on the prices of articles from the foundation of the government, and the Netos does not pretend to deny the facts that have been cited. And now as it is the fashion of the News to answer a ain question by asking another, we will put another plain question to the
News. If the tariff makes manufactured commodities higher, why do foreign manufacturers work so hard and spend so much money to have the tariff reduced Now we propose to give a fair and candid answer to the News' question if it will firet- answer this question.
THE Diamond plate glass works at Elwood resume operations next week. And all over the country the manufacturers are knocking the stuffing out of a good Republican argu ment by starting up their plants. It's a trifle tough on the Republican politicians, but the people enjoy it.—LafayetteJournal.
Starting up factories here and there with reduced forces and reduced wages may be enjoyable to Democrats but we are of the opinion that the people would prefer that the factories would run with full forces at the old wages. The Journal seems to be whistling to keep its courage up.
IN the October Arena the editor has a timely discussion on "The Coming Religion.'' in which he examines the various causeB which have operated during recent years in so wonderfully broadening the religious thought of civ ilization. In the same issue Rev. W. E Manley, D. D., contributes a scholarly paper entitled "Aionian Punishment Not Eternal."
"THIS IS SUGGESTIVE."
The Star, the organ of the Swallowtail Democracy, apparently ie not satisfied with Congressman Brookshire's distribution of the official patronage in this county and particularly the disposition of the Crawfordsville poatoliice. The following discloses its state of mind, whish is "suggestive":
Fori" these many months tbo Crawfordsville JOURNAL has stood sponsor for Voorliees Hrookshire and his little personal trio to sucli an extent that the staid and ardent .Republican paper was mistaken by some tender folks as a Brookshlre organ.
THE JOURNAL was the loafing place of Voorliees Brookshire's most trusted lieutentautand and its editor plainly knew more of what were the plans of these gentlemen than did the editor of the party organ or the rank and file of Democracy. We were almost persuaded that Mr. McCain was about to experience a change of heart and favor the Republican party at the proper tlms nominating the courtly Brookshire on the Republican ticket.
There were those who hinted of the tricks of the wooden horse before Troy, and now it is sure that these people were right In their surmises.
Having accepted Republican advice the wise "personal friends" find themselves entrapped The Philistines are upon them. The Philistines now give them the laugh.
Mr. McCain, with great merriment, printed something on Wednesday that marks his deUelit, His paper on that day sai i:
The appointment of Ed Voris as postmaster at this city, while It Is in every respsct a good selection and will prove eminent! satisfactory to the Republicans, does not meet with the approval of th6 Democratic workers -the men who run the politics of the county. And so it will be all over the district. Mr. Krookshlre will learn ere another campaign is over that patronage is more of a boomerang tian a booster.
We are inexpressibly shocked. The partiug of the umbillical cord has been so sharp thnt "my personal friends" have not vet got their breath.
Thrown out In the world, so cold and so cruel, thev know not which way to turn. We are sorry to see Mr. McCain give the trusting hearts such a cruel awakening.
Surely he will not deny having cadvocated and recommended many appointments so far made in this county. We most certainly Insist that the Democratic party, as a party, washes its hands of all responsibility in some of them.
The situation is touching Indeed.
"THE WARM KAYS OF PROTECTION." •'Money on call has been abundant and cheap," says Dun's Review of the paet week. "The most favorable bank statement that has been made for six months is that for the week ending Sept. 30." says the New York Financier. "Yet," adds the Chicago Inter-Ocean, "the number of unemployed does not perceptibly diminish, nor is the general condition of trade at all satisfactory. Bull's Review reports the railway earnings for the last month as 15 per cent, below the earnings for September, 1892, and this despite the travel to and from the exposition. The same high authority announces that only seven iron mills have resumed operations during the past week, against three that have suspended, "and," continues Dial's, "the outlook does not brighten." BradstreeVs notes a shrinkage of trade estimated at 28 per cent, as compared with the corresponding period of last year.
But there is no need to multiply quotations. The pinching times are felt by all. It is not "scarcity of money." The banks are full of money. It is not a "silver scare." The silver dollar passes as freely as the gold dollar in the stores. It is scarcity of money in circulation, and the scarcity in circulation is caused by a scarcity of work, which brings money into circulation, firstly, from the banks into the hands of the manufactursecondly, from the hands of the
manufacturers to the hands of artisans thirdly, from the hands of artisans to those of retailers thence to the hands of wholesalers, thence back to the manufacturers, thence back to th3 banks. This is a condensed history of the circulation of money.
But at present one of the arteries through which money circulates is congested. The artery of manufactures is congealed by a free-trade chill. Restore to it the warm rays of protection and it again will resume the function of a circulating agent, and a flow of money through all the channels of trade and labor again will give health to the Nation.
THE wordB of Gen. Harrison, uttered on Indiana day at the Fair, should go down deep into the hearts of all true American citizens. He said: "I am persuaded that it needs to be impressed again and again upon our people, that all this that is shown here, all social order, all domestic happiness, and all constitutional and legal institutions are dependent upon the acceptance by all the people of the principle obedience to the law. I know of nothing to-day that so much shames up as a nation as these fiendish, barbarious, devilish lynchings that have occurred throughout the States of our land."
SINCE July 1 the uustom receipts have been $79,879,417, and the expenditures have been $98,459,127, an excess of expenditures over receipts of $19,079,710. If the tariff duties are reduced the question arises how will the expenditures be met. This is a conundrum for the tariff smashers to solve.
THE increase in the national bank circulation during the month of September was $9,710,291. Since Septem ber, 1892, it has increased $35,911,254 The total national bank circulation now is $208,592,172. ...
AMERICAN SNOBBERY.
Mr. Henry Latzka is a manufacturer of woolen goods at Bran, in Austria. He is one of the jurors to nward premiums on woolen goods at the World's Fair. He recently presented a memorial to the Way and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, at Washingington, in favor of a reduction of the tariff on imported woolen goods. One of his reasons is that there are certain Americans who wish to buy foreign made woolens, and that they ought to be allowed to buy them freed from the tariff tax. We quote from hie memorial the following paragraph:
There is a certain class of consumers in the United States who prefer imported goods simply because they are imported. The same goods of the same quality may be male in the United States and sold at lower prices than the Imported article. Still this class Insist on imported "articles, though thev pay a dearer price and do not gat a better article for their money.
In another part of his memorial he says: The World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, withjts 128 different exhibits of woolen goods, amply proves that all qualities and grades are manufactured in the United States. The most important of these American exhibits have been assigned to mo by the executive committee on awards to report upon as'a member of the international jury, and I have found that the ^greater part of them can compete with the very best and finest woolen goods made in Europe: style, quality, and finish are excellent. It seems to me a mere prejudice of a certain class in America that prefers foreign made to domestic goods.
If Mr. Latzka had said silly snobbery instead of prejudice he wonl'J have hit the nail exactly on the head. No doubt he is correct in saying there is a class of Americans who prefer foreign made goods, except that he errs in calling them Americans for nothing could be more tmAmerican than to prefer foreign goods to home made, when the home made was just as good and as cheap as the foreign. No trne American will ever patronize foreign manufacturers so long as he can get just as good and as cheap goods from his own countrymen. It useu to be fashionable to say that these foreign woolen goods were preferred because they were both better and cheaper thnn the home made goods but Mr. Latzka, himself a foreign manufacturer, puts this contention at rest. The greater part of the American exhibit, he says, is just as good as the very best and finest of the ^foreign woolens. What a rebuke to our free trade Democrats who are continually trying to disparage the genius
Bnd

skill of their own country
men The snobbery which prefers foreign goods for no other reason than that they are foreign—and that is the way Mr. Latzka puts it—should be and will be despised by every genuine friend of the ^United States. It iB very faehionaoie now for those who aro able to

are
not, to send to Paris for wedding dresses. We have no bit of doubt that just as good and genteel dresses are made by our American women as were ever made in Paris. But then, if purchased here, the world would not be astonished by a publication of the fact that the wedding dresses were imported from France. Any true American boy would rather marry the girl he loves in a plain American calico gown, made up by
Bome
industrious, deserving woman in his own town, than the finest outfit that Mr. Worth ever
from Paris and he
would show both good sense and patriotism in his preference. And, at the end of ten years he and his plain girl would probably be better off and happier than the silly snobs who preferred foreign wedding goods just because they were foreign.
PROBABLY the most original and forceful plea for silver that has been made in this exciting campaign, where so much has been said, iB advanced in the October Revieio of Reviews by Mr. Edward B. Howell. By means of carefully prepared charts showing the amount of
cereals
and cotton and
other staple products he aims to show that the production of
Bilver
dollar
keeps ap
proximate pace with the production of cereal crops. Furthermore, his evidence goes to show that while
silver
does
vary
about as the goods which we buy with it, gold does not keep pace with them. In other words, Mr. Howell's
very
inter
esting arguments would lead to the con viction that we should be talking of $1.50 gold
instead of a $0.60 sil
ver dollar. While put forward in a very concise and unpretentious manner, the charts which the young Western political economist has prepared form a very valuable addition to the literature of the much-vexed currency question.
THE President is a Democrat. The Senate is Democratic by a majority of five. The House is Democratic by a majority of eighty-four. The Demo cratic party is the responsible party in power. The first plank of the platform on which it obtained this full grant of power pledged it to repeal the Sherman act. Congress has been in session nearly two monthB and the "cowardly makeshift" is still unrepealed. The country has learned that the Sherman law is not at the bottom of all the troubles.
