A HOT ABSWER.

WtlberO, Honk Gives Justice Chnmuero and Paul & Vnncleave Particular Flu.

The celebrated, not to say disgusting, case of Connard vs. Gipson came up in the circuit court again Wednesday on a motion to strike out the answer to the cross complaint. This answer was a unique and peculiar instrument. It was nothing more nor less than a little attack on Justice Ghumasero, Paul & Vancleave and Constable Byas. Justice Chumasero was referred to as "His Majesty" and •was compared to John Brown in a way very uncomplimentary to both. Attorney Paul was roasted to a rich seal brown and his ministerial career given several ugly slashes. The answer contained such elegant phrases as "had the world by the tail," "darkey Byas," etc.

As soon as it was read Judge Harney ruled it out of court and refused to listen to arguments, in spite of Hauk's protests. Hauk was aching for a chance to talk and evidently intended to flay the opposition.

Judge Harney has been very lenient with this case, but if thingB continue as they have done somebody will hear something drop soon. "Beware the fury of a patient man."

NEW TELEPHONE 'CONNECTIONS.

To the Public.

Having met in convention at Yountsville Saturday, Marclj 7, 189G, Albert T. rfornbaker and myself resolved to settle the question as to who should take the township as candidate for county commissioner, and we agreed on arbitration, and A. T. Hornbaker won the prize and I will say that A. T. Hornbaker is a nice man, a man well worthy of the position he is seeking for. I will now withdraw from the race in full support of my opponent. Thanking my friends for the friendship shown me I am, as ever,

JOHN E. BROWN.

AT SHERIDAN, THIRTY MILES AWAY.

A Gloomy and Discouraging Report From the Place Oar Gas Uomes From

A dispatch from Sheridan to the Indianapolis News

Bays:

"Gas wells

drilled in this county show a very low pressure, some being entire failures. Wells that one year ago Bhowed 300 pounds pressure are now full of salt water. The Hare well, formerly one of the best in the county, is now dead. O. H. Root, of Indianapolis, owner of the brick works here, is leasing land east of town, in order to farnish fuel for his factory. Agents of the Crawfordsville Gas Company are also eagerly taking all of the available territory in this section."

THE DOCTOR'S DIVINITY,

It Is Rumored That Sheriff Wm. H. Hull, of Parke County, Will Marry Maggie Kellar.

A weird rumor comes on the breezes from Parke county. It is to the effect that Dr. W. H. Mull, sheriff of Parke county, will soon marry Maggie Kellar, one of the defendants in the celebrated Clara Shanks murder case. It is said the sheriff fell in love with her while she was his prisoner and now he is her prisoner. It is another case of love laughing at locks.

Indiana's Growth.

State Statistician Thompson has issued a bulletin dealing with some of the manufacturing interests of the State. His investigation shows that during the last year there were employed in the glass manufactories of the State 9,728 persons, 2,056 of whom

were boys and 441 women and girls. The average daily pay for women and girls is 61.5 cents and for boys 71 cents. The highest price for skilled labor is 7.75 a day, and the highest for unskilled is SI.87

The bulletin shows that $3,703,033 is nvested iu the industry of the State. The average wages paid for skilled workmen S3.19, and the average paid for unskilled workmen SI.49. The boys average 74 cents a day. Wages increased during the lat year 8.7 percent. It is shown by the bulletin that there is more than 82,( 00,000 invested the making of agricultural implements in the State.

The sixth International Convention of the BaptistjYoung People's Union of America will this year be held at Milwaukee, July6th to 19th. Since the international organization was perfected five years ago tbeannual gatherings have been held at Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Toronto and Baltimore. The Baltimore convention, which occurred last July, was one long to be remembered by the denomination. There were 225 delegates in attendance from Iniana. The largest attendance at any one session of that convention was something over 20,000. Milwaukee is atypical city for large conventions. The elegant and commodious Exposition building, in which a number of large conventions have been held, will have a seating capacity for this occasion of 12,000. The programme will include a number of the ablest pulpit orators of the conti nent. Indiana will have a very large representation at this convention, and many who are not affiliated with the organization will doubtless avail themselves of ttiis rare opportunity of witnessing a mammoth convention and listening to men of national reputation. Mr. L. A. Clark, of this city, who so sue cessfully handled the Indiana delegation at the Baltimore convention, has been piaced in charge of transportation matter for this year and is now organizing the State. He confidently expects Indiana to be represented by 1,0U0 young people at this convention. The railroads have made a rate of one fare for the round trip. Crawfordsville had eleven representatives at Baltimore. Fully twenty-five will go up to Milwaukee.

PROTECTION VS. FREE TRADE.

John Spohr, an Old Farmer, Takes Scalp ot Mr. Darter and Bangs It on His Belt.

the

To the Editor of The Journal. I see in last week's JOUBNAL J. J. Darter has an article on "Tariff on Wool." His first question is, "Will some apostle of protection kindly explain how the restoration of the McKinley tariff of eleven cenis a pound on foreign imports of wool would enable our manufacturers to compete in the markets of the world with the products of their mills?" The old farmer does not claim to be an apostle but does desire to offer a few suggestions. I desire to add for the benefit of Mr. Darter that the reason the manufacturers of this country cannot successfully compete with the manufacturers of goods in the Old World is not owing in the least to the duty levied on their raw material. The only reason -they are shut out from those markets is on account of the increased price paid for labor here in the United States. If such is net the fact will Mr. Darter be kind enough to tell how it happens that the manufacturers of cotton goods in this country have not competed in the markets of the Old World with the products of their mills when there has never been any tax on cotton in this country? Indeed, our manufacturers have always been able to secure cotton a little cheaper than have the manufacturers abroad. The difficulty lies in the fact that the men and women who ,do the work in the shops and factories of the United States receive nearly twice the amount of wages paid for the same kind of

1

work in the Old World. Tf our manufacturers had not for years paid those high wa^es they could have successfully competed in the markets of the outside world with their product, because they have had free raw material for such products when sent into those markets. Mr. Darter can thus see the nonsense of his talk about 11 cents duty on imported wool keeping the manufacturers thereof out of the markets of the world.

The markets of the world! Pray, where? Can we successfully export to Eaglaud, France or Belgium, or Germany? It is folly to assume that we could do so with our high paid labor. With cottc free we import five dollars worth to every one that we export. What reason is there t» expect that we could do as well with woolens, which require a larger amount of labor in their manufacture? Surely none. Mr. Darter calls wool raw material. That I denr. It is no more raw material to the manufacturer than cloth is raw material to the tailor,

Look at the results. Last year there was imported 5)4 times more wool than under the last year of McKinley law. Increase imports of articles we make in this country means decreased production in this country. Mr. Darter, toward the close of his article, asserts that the 25 cent duty on wheat did not increase the price in the least. I assure him that the 11 cents on wool operated exactly as the 25c on wheat, but saying it did not increase the price does not prove it is not necessary. Some six or eight years ago I hauled wheat from my farm to Mace station and sold it at HO cents per bushel, the quality being as good as was produced in the country at that time, and I recollect as well as though it was but yesterday, the Canadian papers said that if it was not for the specific duty of 20 cents per bushel the Manatoba district could ship from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushes of wheat to the United States at good profit. Now, will anyone say that the duty was not in favor of the American wheat producer in that instance? It secured the American markets to American producers to that extent. What wheat was imported the importer paid 20c per bushel. That exempted the people of this government of taxes to that extent. If the duty was beneficial to no one why was it reduced? It was done to invite importation. What is the result? Here it is: First year under Wilson bill, 1,121,789 bushels. Protectionists do not advocate a duty on an imported article to increase the price of the domestic, but to secure our own markets and protect the laborer from the cheap laborer of the outside world. Mr. Darter is a business man. Now let us suppose a case. He has $3,000 or $4,000 invested in buildings and machinery a is manufacturing tin pans, for one or two of^these will enter into every household, I care not not how humble it may be. The importation of tin pans is so great he runs his machinery and hands on half time only. He findB a market for 100 pans in a week, which he sells at 25 cents pei pan. TbiB gives him 825 per week. Out of this he pays for his material and hand, balance is profit on investment. Congress levies a duty of 10 cents on the importation of a pan. According to the fine spun theory pans would sell for 35 cents. What is the result? He is enabled now to strain the very capacity of his machinery and run .his hands on full time in order to meet the demand that is made for pans. The 10 cents amouuts to a prohibition of imports. He sells 1,000 a week. He sells at 15 cents per pan. At the end of the week lie has $150. JOHN SPOHB.

while there is duty on the ou« and none on the other. If wool is raw uJ2terial then the farmer produces nothing but raw material. His fatted hogs and cattle are raw material to the butcher all his grain is raw material to the miller. If any farmer will think on this question fifteen minutes he will come to the conclusion that the only raw material produced in this country is the man that would write Buch an article as Mr. Darter has written. The farmers do not advocate a duty of 11 cents on wool to increase the price, but to prevent the destruc tion of the capitaWthey have invested in the sheep industry, and to secure to them the American market which is theirs by right. No wool producers can compete with the wool of Australia and South America, where sheep will graze twelve months in the year on lands that can be rented for from 1
