FRIDAY. .11'XE 22, ism

THK Democratic tariff makers are bent on abrogating twenty reciprocity treaties for the sake of protecting the Louisiana planters and enriching- the sugar trust.

I'XDKK the proposed .sugar schedule there won't be any doubt that the '•tariff is a tax.'' It will not only be a tax every cent of which the American people will pay. but a tax every cent of which for two years wijl go into the already bursting coffers of the Sugar Trust.

FKOM start to finish Maurice Thompson's speech las.t Saturday was one of apology for the shortcomings of the Democratic Congress. It was not altogether consistent in all its parts but was nevertheless apologetic. The Democratic campaign this year will necessarily be a defensive one, and Mr. Thompson made a good beginning.

To read THK JOURNAL and other rabid Republican papers one would think the sole mission of the Democratic party is to break down our great industries and paralyze things in general.— Ari/m-News.

Well, it looks .very much that way. The Democratic party has made a good start in its mission. Nothing thrives under Democratic rule except the sugar trust.

THE more the Review attacks the business qualifications of Wm. JohnJ son, the Republican candidate for Treasurer, the more votes will he receive, especially in the south part of the county. A man who has paid out two and a half million of dollars to the farmers of that section during the last twenty yews and made no enemies in all that time may be regarded as a pretty good business man.

DURING the past nine months just three private pension bills have been passed by Congress, while but fortyone bills of that character have passed the House, though hundreds are pending before the Committees on Pensions and on invalid Pensions. Of these three favored pension bills, one was for the relief of a daughter of a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and one was for a soldier of the war of 1812. These simple facts are sullicient to show the true feeling of the Democratic party toward the soldiers who fought, during the war of the rebellion on the side of the Union.

.JAMKS (». JOHNSON'S allusion to tra it ors was a pointed reference t(

l,rin

sters'" in this county who have been set upon never to rise again and to the Eastern Senators who have done all they could to delay tariff legislation.-— Sla r.

Since Jeems has been nominated for Auditor perhaps he will not be so glib with his tongue in denouncing the wing of the party of which he is not a member. The votes of these "ringsters"' will be necessary his business this fall, and the question is. will he apologize for words spoken in the heat of debate, or as the Star intimates did he mean what he said and will he stick to his "pointed reference'.'"

MAL'KICK THOMPSON in his speech last Saturday declared that the present hard times were the result of Republican legislation, and that the present Administration was not responsible, lis Congress had not done anything. Later on he asserted that the times wore good, that lie had traveled from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains and everywhere he had noticed that the people were contented, happy and prosperous. Such contradictory statements were not expected in the same speech, but they were every whit as consistent as Democratic speeches and editorials usually are in attempting to explain the deplorable condition of the country into which it has been plunged by the party in power.

THK Democratic convention last Saturday resolved -that it was in favor of the principles of the Democratic party. Now who. in the name of common •Sinse, can tell what are the principles of the Democratic party'.' In ISM) it believed that slavery was a divine institution: in 1S0-I it denounced the war for the Union as a failure and demanded a surrender to the rebels of the South. In 1870 it was for a tariff for revenue, with incidental protection to American manufactures: in 18'.)2 it was for free trade and denounced even in cidental protection as unconstitutional. The Chicago convention was for wildcat money, but the Democratic Congress votes wild-cat money a fraud. The only Democratic principle now in sight is to pu£ the farmer's wool on the free list and ^ax him 40 per cent, on his sugar.

THAT Xl'NTlI lil-sOLl'TlOy. The resolutions adopted last Saturday by the Democratic convention declared

That the Republican party under the Harrison administration, by squandering the magnificent balance left in the national treasury by a Democratic administration. and by cutting down our revenues and increasing our expenditures has bankrupted the government and spread panic and ruin throughout the commercial world.

The magnificent balance which President Cleveland had loaned out to favored national banks without interest was used by President Harrison in paying off the public debt. During the Harrison administration the public debt was reduced S25D,074,20, and the annual interest charge SI l,ti84,4 V.i. The average business man will consider this a very good way of squandering the surplus. And besides an excess of S.115,000,000 over the sum expended by the former Cleveland administration was paid by*1 the Harrison administration to pensioners. This, too. is a pretty good way of squandering the surplus. To the charge that the Republican party cut down the revenues Republicans everywhere will plead guilty. It reduced the revenue on the one item of sugar alone S'.i3.000,000 which instead of going into the treasury went to the pockets of the people. As to the expenditures compare the annual appropriations made by the Fifty-first Congress, which was Republican, with those made by the Fiftysecond Congress, which was Democratic. The former made annual appropriations amounting to $4(13.3!8, 510.79. The latter made annual appropriations amounting to S507,701,3S0.57. The net increase of the Democratic Congress over the Republican Congress was $44,302,809.78. These are the annual appropriations, and for the full term of the Congress they are just doubled. It will thus'be seen that the Republican Congress made appropriations amounting to Icxs than a billion dollars, while the Democratic Congress made appropriations to considerably more than a billion dollars. And now as to bankrupting the government the facts of history will disprove the assertion. During the last year of the Harrison administration, after the McKinley law had been in operation nearly two years, there was paid on the public debt the sum of §40,570,407.!)S. It had a balance of receipts over expenditures of 89,914,455.00., and a cash balance in the treasury of §20,992.377.03, to say nothing of the* gold reserve fund of 8100,000,000 held for redemption purposes, making- an available fund of nearly 830,000,000. And this was the condition of the treasury on the 4th of March, 1S93, when Cleveland and a Democratic Congress of both houses assumed the reins of government. Whatever panic and ruin had been spread throughout the commercial world has .. bee.n caused by a threatened change in our industrial policy. During the last year of the Harrison administration it paid off over 8-10.000,000 of interest bearing bonds and left 830,000,00(1 in the treasury. During the first year of the Cleveland administration it squandered this 830,000.000, borrowed money and issued interest bearing bonds to the amount of §50,000.000 and besides has trenched on the 8100.000,000 gold reserve to the extent of over S30,000,000 In view of all the facts it requires a vast amount of unadulterated gall to read such a resolution before an intelligent audience.

'I'll 15 COST Ol'Ol'lit 'OOl!, The cost for maintaining the poor of Montgomery county during the year ls

i3

was 819.101.09, of which S7.123.40 was for asylum expenses, 88.792.JO was expended by township trustees, and 83.185.59 was for the Orphans' Home. The per capita cost to the people for poor relief was about (s cents, that is it cost each man. woman and child in the county tliis sum. Commenting on the cost of caring for the dependent poor in this county the Secretary of State Hoard of Charities says that it is and for several years has been, excessive. During the same period the total poor relief of Randolph county amounted to about 88.000, and yet the population of Randolph and Montgomery counties is about the same. The cost of poor relief to Montgomery county in the year was forty-one per cent, greater than it would have been had it been based on the average for the State according to population. The per capita cost according to population exceeds the average per capita cost for the State by over 28 cents, and the people were taxed almost 88,000 more for the purpose of poor relief than they would have been taxed had the per capita cost to Montgomery county been the same as the average of the entire State. As compared with the preceding year, the poor expenses of this county in 1893 were greater than in 1892 by almost 83,000. This increase was shown principally in the cost of maintaining the Orphans'

Home. The greater cost of the poor asylum is due in part to certain permanent improvements, which cannot justly be classed as maintenance expenses. The expenditures for trustees' relief were reduced from the preceding year by over 81.000.

In another part of his report the Secretary says that a careful study of the figures will bring into strong re­

lief the fact that Indiana's care for her paupers is marked rather by generosity than by judgment. The great sums of money which are annually expended for the relief of the poor do not decrease the number needing the assistance, but constantly increase it.

The inevitable conclusion must be that onr system of giving relief encourages pauperism. The more money we give, the greater the demand becomes. It is by the most continual and careful use of tests and inquiries for the purpose of distinguishing between the worthy and unworthy, and the constant application of business principles to the distribution of public funds that we can expect to foster independence rather than dependence, and diminish rather than augment the army of paupers.

TIIK SI'fiAl? I»KA

Ij.

The investigation by the sugar scandal committee has been a farce from beginning to end. The efforts of the committee have been more in the direction of how not to do it than to arrive at the facts. Enough has been disclosed to show that the sugar trust has a "cinch" upon the majority of the United States Senate. The offensive sugar schedule, it was brought out, was placed in the tariff bill because of some understanding between the officials of the trust and the managers of the Democratic presidential campaign of 1892. The committee has failed to discover a single member of the Senate who is in favor of the sugar schedule, but it has located the responsibility for its existence upon the shoulders of Secretary Carlisle, and Senators Gorman, Brice, Camden, Smith, Jones and Vest, When Mr. Havermeyer,the head of the sugar trust, visited Washington these Senators all spent several evenings with him at his rooms. The sugar schedule is in the handwriting of Secretary Carlisle. The Secretary made a statement before the committee but he was not cross questioned. Mr. Havermeyer declined to state how much the trust contributed to the Democrated campaign fund in 1892. The Republican members of the committee desired to compel him to answer but this was resisted by the Democratic members. They showed a willingness to punish the newspaper correspondents for refusing to disclose the source of their informaaion, but refused to treat Mr. Havermeyer as a contumacious witness when he declined to state the amount of his contribu-' tions to the Democratic campaign fund. The correspondents say it was 8500,000. This Mr. Havermeyer declines to Contradict. The committee should have called the treasurer of the Democratic committee, but then it was not organized to arrive at the bottom' facts of anything connected with sugar. It is very evident that the trust will have what it wants or there will be no tariff bill that can get through both houses of Congress. The sugar trust has the Democratic party by the short hair.

KUI5I5 WOOI. AND TAXED SlGAlt. The attention of the -1 njux-Xeii's is called to these facts: During four years under the operation of the McKinley law there has been imported over 490,000,000 pounds of foreign wool upon which there has been collected' 824.000 in custom duties. Never before in the history of the country has wool imports reached such figures. This revenue of 824,000.000 is to be thrown away, and the wool clip of the United States, which amounts to 305.000.000 pounds, is to be utterly destroyed. This ruin to a great American industry is to be worked under the plea that the laboring man's cloth ing is to be cheapened. At the outside, admitting that the amount of the tariff' is added to the price which is not admitted, there wound not be a saving of over 81 on each suit of clothes in which free wool is used. In order to replace this revenue from wool it is proposed to tax sugar, thus imposing more than five times as much tax on poor man's living as is saved by putting free wool into his clothing. Where does the benefit to the poor man come in if he is taxed 85 on his own sugar anil an additional 85 on each member of his family in order that he may save 81 on his own suit of clothes'.'

Free wool and taxed sugar will not be popular with the average voter as the Anjux-Xcws will learn before it is many months older.

THK Democratic plan for getting cheap raw material is to stop the production of raw material here and rely solely on foreign countries for our raw material. The Cleveland policy for making'clothing cheap is to put an end to the raising of wool in this country and rely on Australia for raw wool for our manufactures. But when all American competition is destroyed the Australian wool-grower will be a mighty good man if he does not put up the price just as high as he pleases. The way to make an article cheap is uot to stop but to encourage the production of it.

WHAT will it profit a man if he shall buy a suit of clothes for SI less and pay S") more for his sugar?

AN IXKAMOL'S POLICY, v/ At the end of the present year, which closes June 30, the Pension Bureau will be able to show that out of the 8105.000.000 appropriated for pensions by the Fifty-second Congress, a surplus of 825.000,000 will remain. The pensioned soldiers have been suspended by the thousand without sutlicient examination, on hearsay evidence, and then they have begn required to show that they are not rascals, and have been treated by the Department as if they were criminals. In ordinary criminal cases every man is supposed to be innocent tin til he is proven guilty, but the reverse is true in the Pension Hureau. There every pensioner is supposed to be guilty until he proves that he is an honest man. In such ways as this, and by holding back the certificates of thousands of men who have been placed on the completed files they have thus been kept from their rights to the extent of 825.000,000. The old soldiers will have something to say concerning this villainous policy at the election this fall.

THK Cincinnati Tribune is in favor of a landing tax. Every immigrant more than twelve years of age should be required to pay a tax of S.r0. This would produce a large revenue, and it would have the happy effect of rendering American citizenship less cheap. An immigrant who has contributed nothing toward the support of this Government, and whose ancestors have done nothing for it, ought to be willing to pay 850 for the privilege of enjoying its protection. The cost of becoming naturalized in European countries is rather more than 850, and in Iance a man's antecedents are most rigidly scrutinized. Citizenship is too cheap with us, and the result is the whirlwind of strikes and labor troubles which is sweeping over the country. The men who resort to violence during strikes are in most cases workmen of foreign birth. Let us get rid of them as soon as the necessary legislation can be secured, and in the meantime keep the old flag a-flying.

TIIK Anjus-Xews and the Review are aware of the tide in favor of Mr. Johnson for Treasurer in the south part of the county, and they imagine it their duty to begin a mud slinging campaign. The attacks that have been made on an honorable man and a good citizen will only have the tendency to increase his majority. It pays to be decent in politics, as Mr. Warbinton will learn before the campaign is ended.
