liAliHKU wire is now selling' wholesale at sl.Tfi for black and Si per hundred for fjalvsmized, lower than in the history of its manufacture.
TIIK Swallowtails had their inning in the organization of "the convention last Saturday, but the Ragged Reubens and Cuckoos whitewashed them in the nominations.
THE trusts are all under the nurture and fostering care of the Democratic '.party. The biggest trust in the country to-day is the sugar trust and if the
Senate bill becomes a law the people will be compelled to pay at least two cents a pound more for their sugar,
JVDGE GKESHAM is over in Illinois looking- after the Populist nomination for United States Senator. In this he has an illustrious precedent, lion John L. Goben. of Indiana, went to Indianapolis and sought the Populistic nomination for Auditor of State, and failing asked for the next best thing. The Judge might follow the precedent to the end..
TIIKHK is a rumor abroad in the land that the Herieu• and A njus-Xcu-s will consolidate, hyphenate and then hybernate. The Star is not included in this arrangement. Why is this thus'.' Is it the intention to pitch it head foremost overboard into the slough of despond, that it may live its life out sweetly there'.' Democracy is certainly ungrateful.
Fou the week ending June 2 the Pension ^Bureau allowed only certificates or but 211 {,for each working day. This was not quite one a day for every 23 of the 5.000 employes of the liureau. Of those only 033, or just one-half, were original claims, and 142 Were claims arising under the old laws. At this rate it will take 1,333 weeks, or nearly 20 years, to close out the 200,000 cases under the old laws, which the Commissioner says he found perfected and ready for adjudication upon his entry into office.
THE investigation of the New York police force, by a legislative committee, reveals some astounding facts. According to the World, the great Democratic newspaper of New York City, about 615,000,000 a year was wrung by the police from prostitutes, keepers of gambling houses, disorderly resorts and saloons. Enoughomoney was paid to police and their political backers for permission to break the laws in peace to give every police officer in
New York City S4,000 a year in addition to his salary. The police captains and some of the professional politicians got much of the money.
A HOME QUESTION.
Crawfordsville has but few factories, and we presume if some Democrats had their way she wouldnot have any, judging from -the bitter attacks that have been made on the stockholders and the men wlio are managing them. They are denounced as a set of robbers and o-eut-thiioats. when the facts are that not one of the factories are making any money. There is not a share of stock in tuiy of our industrial establishments but can be bought at a large discount, including the barb wire factory stocks, upon which there litis been ms.de such a wicked and outrageous onslaught. If our manufacturing' concerns were siu'h bonanzas as they are represented to be the stock- would at least be held at par if not a premium. Tha best evidence that they a.re not making money is the fact that the stock of such concerns can be had at such a big distwunt. So far as the barb wire factory is concerned its profits last year were 'exceedingly small, and this year they will be less. The men who have their money in the concern will not reap not one cent of benefits in the way of dividends. It is now running merely to give employment to a .number of needy persons. The product. is being stored away while its sales are only nominal. And it is no idle boast or threat as it can be stated upon the best of authority that if barbed wire is placed on the free list us the Senate bill proposes, it will close every barb wire factory in the United States. General Manson, who is a stockholder in the Crawfordsville factory. understands this, else why would he take the pains to send a telegram to Mr. Itynum stating these facts. As it is with barbed wire so it is with all the other industries of the country. And the people are rapidly learning the''object lesson" which the Democrats are giving them.
"XOT IN TOUCH."
Of the Gorman-]Jrice sugar schedule in the Senate bill the New York Herald says "it is for the benefit of the trust, not the treasury or the people and Harper's Weekly says: "No matter what small virtues it possesses the purchased sugar schedule ruins it. Unless the llouse can cut out that corruution the bill should be defeated.'' The New York )Vorld is no less severe in its strictures and it remarks: '-it will be a sorry day for the Democratic party when the pocket interest- of stock gambling Senators, or the influence of a corrupt lobby, shall be sufficient to enact a trust tax on sugar."' All these papers are Democratic. but as the vlryus-Xeivs says of Henry Watterson, '"'they are brainy ind all that, but not in touch with their party." The --Irj/iw-.Yar* will discover ere long that there are thousinds of voters all over the country who are not in -'touch with their cparty." That was the trouble recently in Oregon. Too many were '"not in touch with their party"' at the municipal elections in this State in May. About 12.000 men were "not in touch with their party" in one judicial district over in Illinois a few weeks ago. Ohio Democrats were '"not in touch with their party" when McKinley was reelected Governor by 82.000 majority.
Pennsylvania Democrats were "not in touch with their party"' when they elected Grow Congressman-at-large by nearly 200,000 majority. And so it is all over the country. Cuckoo newspapers may be in "touch with their party," but there are thousands of Democrats among the masses, the men who do the voting-, who are more'in "touch" with the Louisville CourierJournal, the New York Herald, the New York World and Harper's Weekly and who will express their dissatisfaction in a most emphatic manner at the polls this fall.
OUK RKCI l'KOCl'i'Y THKATI ES. The Anjus-Xeirs displays a good deal of crude misinformation concerning the history, purposes and workings of the reciprocity features of the tariff law of lS'.H) commonly known as the McKinley law. President Harrison recommended the policy in his first annual message. Mr. Blaine wrote his liar Harbor letter afterward. The ideas of Harrison and ISlaine differed, in this that Harrison believed that certain articles such as we could not produce in this country should be placed on the free list and power given to the President to reimpose the duties in case we could not enter into reciproc ity treaty stipulations providing that the productions of the United States should enter certain foreign countries free or at'greatly reduced rates—rates not given to any other country. Elaine in his celebrated letter took the ground that the duties should first be imposed, and as rapidly as reciproc ity treaties were made the President be empowered to remove duties on certain articles. While the effect may have been the same yet these differences were not adjusted until the bill reached the "Senate, when Senator
Aldrich offered an amendment embracing the Harrison idea and which was incorporated in the bill and became a part of the law. Mr. Maine heartily accepted the law and entered upon its enforcement with all the enthusiasm of his great mind. He set about his
many, Great llritain, Xicaraugua, Ilayti, Honduras, Guatemala, and Austria Hungary. By the free admission of sugar, coffee, hides and rubber from the countries named we gained access to their markets a sale for our products free of duty or a duty greatly reduced cfrotn that granted to other nations.?7 One of the results of reciprocity has been to reduce the duties on American Hour about 30 per cent in Germany, from 85.02!. to cents in CubaiyrE^ and from §2 to {?1 in Jamaica.^ 'and so on through a long list of articles exported from the United States to all the countries with which we have ,treaties. This is a direct benefit to American farmers and exporters, since it enlarges the foreign demand for what liiey have to sell. At the same time by the reciprocity arrangements a free market for nearly nine-tenths of the imported sugar supply of the United States has been secured. This involves cheap sugar as a direct benefit to American consumers The policy of reciprocity is a free exchange of those articles that we produce for those articles that we do not produce. An exchange in kind would be of no benefit to the United States. So notwithstanding the assertions of the A ryux-Xi-irs to the contrary reciprocity has abeen beneficial to the United States. The exports of our products to Cuba alone the first year increased from SI 1.000,000 to 820,000,000 and to all other countries in like proportion. The 'abrogation of these treaties, as is now likely, will be sorry business for the United States.
M-Ol'IIYTK ON WOOL.
There are two theories that are advanced byithe average Democrat with reference to the wool industry. One says that iwe should' have free wool because it would make the clothing of the poor cheaper, while the other says that he wants to put wool on the free list because he is satisfied that if this is done it will enhance in value. To this first class belongs our neighbor of the Anjus-Xeirs. Last Saturday it advanced the theory that our lands were too valuable to raise sheep, and that if we could buy Australian wool at 5 cents a pound we should buy it and kill all our wool growing animals. To the other class belongs the distinguished Congressman from this district, Mr. Urookshire. In a speech delivered in the House April 2. lsor.'. he took the position that high tariff taxes on wool has not tended to increase its price to the farmer. In other words the farmer would receive as much for his wool were it on the free list as lie has received while it has been "tariff taxed," as he terms it. If the theory of the Aryus-Xeirs is correct- the theory of Mr. l.rookshire must be false, or the reverse. If the theory of the -1 lyus-Xeies be carried to its legitimate conclusion it will destroy an industry in the United States in which there are now employed 1.!2.",000 people, and which is producing $1)5.000,000 in wool, food and pelts, and an investment, directly and indirectly, of §500.000.000. These million of people would have to be transferred to other industries which are already over ^crowded, and these millions of productions and investments would be transplanted to foreign countries. Are our farmers who have flocks of from a dozen running into the hundreds ready to sacrifice the little income they receive from this source and turn their attention entirely to "o cent wheat'.' No, the sheep industry is not in the hands of trusts and combinations. If it were, as in the case of sugar, it would have more friends in a Democratic Congress.
THE
1 EM HAT IC ASS A LT OUK INDUSTIUKS. The Democratic party, in planning a general assault on the industries of the country, acted with as little discretion and foresight as it did when it planned an attack on the Union, thirty odd years ago. It did not foresee the mischief it was likely to do, nor the opposition such an assault was sure to encounter on the part of northern artisans and their employers. In fact, most of the southern politicians had little idea of the real condition of things in the northern States. They had never informed themselves as to the swarming hives of industry in the great northern cities, and knew not the power of the manufacturing classes whose ill will they were about to arouse. But now they are better informed. The new Congress had scarcely attempted to form a tariff bill in harmony with the Democratic platform until it saw that the platform was a dead letter—as dead as the platform of 1804 which denounced the war for the Union as a failure and advised its abandonment, and that any attempt to enact the ideas of that platform into law would be as unavailing as an attempt to blot out of history the name and the fame of George Washington or
work and made treaties with Brazil v,.^Santa Domingo, Spain, Salvador, Ger-1 thing else stops. Our business affairs
Abraham Lincoln. Men like Mills of Texas, who were leading the attack on our great industrial system, did not realize that the manufactures of this country constitute the very life blood of its prosperity, and that whatever would cripple these manufactures would cripple every other business in the Union. But they have found out now, by the most costly experience, that when the factories, the mills and the mines of this country stop every-
are so linked together that you cannot stop the manufactures without stopping commerce, agriculture and trade. If you stop men from earning wages you stop them from buying and consuming the products of the farm. When the factory is idle the grocer stands in the door of his shop and looks in vain for customers, and the merchant plays with his scissors behind the counter. Our southern free traders did not foresee all this when
they
con
cocted the Chicago platform. But they see it now. They have suddenly run against a mountain which they might have seen in the start if they had wiped their eyes and made a calm and careful survey of the horizon. Our manufacturing and mining industries have grown to such an extent that they cannot be disturbed, or even threatened with "disturbance, without disaster to the whole country: and now everybody is beginning to see that this is so. and as a consequence of the practical knowledge thus gained, the Democratic policy is being condemned with a severity and unanimity heretofore unknown in the politics of this country. In all the States where elections have been held since the present Con gress commenced its assault upon the policy of protection, the majorites against the administration have been so great and overwhelming as to astonish even the Republicans. It is now fully demonstrated that the time lias not yet come for a free trade policy in this country, and perhaps never will come. The victories for protection will continue, and likely grow greater and greater, until the mis-' ehievous idea that protection is unconstitutional and vicious will be buried along with its, twin brother, State sovereignty. SO
A CASE IN POINT.
Every day the necessity for a system of sewerage is becoming more plain. For instance Health Officer Leech cites the case of a well-to-do and law abiding citizen who persists in discharging his dish water by an open drain into the gutter whence it flows down the street for several blocks scattering smells and microbes in all directions. One lady living in front of the filthy stream is ill and has to keep her front door closed all the time to avoid the stench. Dr. Leech says it will be necessary to file a complaint against the gentleman. And yet he is hardly to blame. He has a small yard, lives in a thickly ^populated neighborhood and has to get rid of his dish water. He tried cess pools, he tried covered drains and failing in both of these he resorted to the open drain. He is willing and anxious to pay his assessment for a system of sewerage and should be given the opportunity to do so. Let the council take some action in response to the now universal crv for sewerage.
1 in Chicago platform was full of promises of what the Democratic party would do for the people were it permitted to return to power. ]?y the most deliberate, persistent and systematic lying the Democratic party succeeded. Their broken promises reminds one of the darkey who was called on to address his congregation in prayer-meeting. He said:
Uredren and sistern, I have been having a dreft'ul time sence we last met togedder. I have been ehawin hard bones and swallering bitter pills. 1 am very shuah I have broken every one of de ten commandments, but. thank de Lawd, I have not lost my religion.
As with our colored preacher so it is with our Democratic friends. They have broken every promise to the people and they are having a "drefful time"' and "a chawin of hard bones and swallerin bitter pills,'* yet they can console themselves with the comforting fact that they have not "lost their Democracy."
THE resolutions last Saturday endorsed the Chicago platform, the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State banks, and all. This was a direct slap at Urookshire who voted against the repeal of the tax. This evidently was intended as the Congressman's name wasn't mentioned in the resolutions.
WHEX a convention in his own county failed to pass a resolution endorsing the course of Congressman lirooksnire can it be construed otherwise than an intended snub? The committee on resolution was composed mostly of Swallowtails.
Grand Jury Keturns.
The grand jury completed its work Monday and adjourned returning nineteen indictments. Only those against Fred White and Dick O'Connell, who are in jail, are made public.
The death of the Hedrick woman was not investigated. It was learned that she was nearly dead with a loathsome disease before 'she was poisoned so the suicide theory was confirmed. The woman had been in Crawfordsville several years and during her entire ocareer was a drunken and reckless character without a single redeeming trait.
Father Diimeii May Leave.
It is not at all improbable that Rev J. R. Dinnen, of this city, will be called to Lafayette to take the place made vacant there by the death of Father E. P. Walters. It is understood that all things indicate his appointment to the place.
Tlic Irish Sat Down Oil Aj^ain.
To the Editor ol' The Journal: During- last week the Irish members of the Democratic party held several meetings to take action on a resolution that should be presented to the convention on Saturday. The resolution which was unanimously agreed upon denounced in unmeasured terms the organization known as the A. P. A. It was given into the hands of the committee on resolutions, but when that committee reported it was observed that it had been suppressed and the convention was not compelled to commit itself on the question. W5 was this done'.' Are there so many Democrats in the A. P. A. organization that the convention did not dare to offend them? Did not the leaders stop on the Irish wing with both feet as they always do? Are not the Irishmen in the Democratic ranks only hewers of wood and drawers of water for the bosses of that party? Are they simply to do the bidding of party leaders without even the opportunity of making a protest? Is it their duty simply to "vote the ticket"' as it is made without so much as asking a question? It would seem so from the treatment the Irish in this county have received from the Democratic ringsters. The Democratic leaders have been free to assert that the A. P. A. movement was a Republican scheme, and now when they had an opportunity to denounce it by resolution why were they too cowardly to do so and officially cut loose from this organization. Echo answers why?
