FRIDAY, MARCH 13. 1895.

WILLIAM MCKINLEY is the "favorite son" of fully half the States in the Union.

THE "favorite son" Presidential movement is already burlesqued by being overdone.

THE peforming of labor makes a nation rich, while importing the product of labor makes a nation poor.

THE national bureau of statistics announces that American hens contribute yearly over $135,000,000 to the wealth of the country.

THE Indianapolis Journal is authority for the statement that John C. New iB not now, and will not be a candidate for Vice President. This is in the nature of a reply to the industrious but not overly veracious correspondents who have mentioned his name.

WHEN Spain recognized the Southern Confederacy in 1862, the people of the United States did not become hysterical about it. They simply ignored it, and went ahead and whipped the rebels. Let her do likewise, if she can, and that will settle the matter.

THIS country wants dear labor. It is our boast and our pride that we have been able to hold our wages higher than those of all the world. But to have dear labor we must have protection. We must safeguard ourselves from pauper competition, or we must cut wages.

THE Indianapolis Journal asks and answers an interesting question: Why not send Gen. Lew Wallace as delegate at large to the Republican national convention? He was one of the first to declare for Governor McKinley after General Harrison gave his letter to the public. General Wallace could help a candidate outside of Indiana.

A DEMOCRATIC organ says: "The people expressed themselves strongly against protection in 1892, and it is not easy to see how or why they should be crazy for McKinley now." Our contemporary can easily see that since 1892, with a full trial and failure of "tariff reform," the people of 1892 see their mistake and propose to rectify it as soon as possible.

EVERY voter now knows that four years ago what was derisively called "McKinleyism" meant to him personally high wages, and meant to the country protection and prosperity. Every voter "knows that the mistaken abandonment of it brought panic, lower wages, less consumption, and long continued hard times.

PROTECTION to American industries will be the great and leading issue in the coming campaign. The President &nd his gold-bug friends and the free silverites, who seem to have seconded his desires, will not be able to turn aside the people from their work. Protection will bring prosperity direct to millions and other things will regulate themselves. With a full treasury there will be no drain of gold and no more hundred millions of bonds, .:

WHILE the financial question may cut quite a figure in the coming campaign, it will be impossible to make a blanket of it to hide the question of protection. This question will have to be met and solved from the point of independence and patriotism It will not do for us to lose a great industry and support our idle men on charity by following the false light of "cheap" er clothing." Every farm of one hundred acres ought to support a flock of sheep, and no sensible farmer ought to allow himself hoodwinked into the idea that he is making money by saving a dollar a year in clothing and los. ing two hundred by selling cheap wool.

THE missionaries now in Indiana from New York in behalf of the Presidential candidacy of Governor Morton of that State, are not receiving much encourugement. They have been ..plainly told that while Indiana has a wwarm feeling personally for Governor

Morton he nevertheless stands no show for capturing any of the delegates. He is regarded as the candidate of BGSB Piatt, and if there is anything that the masses of the Republicans in Indiana destest it is self constituted bossism, either in National, State or local politics. The boss may succeed for a season, but in the end he reaches his tether.

GOOD ROADS.

The bicycle has done at least one good thing—it has stirred up an earnest movement all over the country in favor of better" roads. In nearly all the States organizations are being perfected to secure better roads. At a meeting of one of the new associations recently held in the East Mr. Potter made a most forcible and convincing argument in favor of better roads. Among many other good things he said were the following:

Last year our railroads carried 1,000,000,000 tons of freight. Every year the amount increases. Every pound of this freight is carted and carried over our roads and streets before it gets to the railroads millions of-tons more are hauled in wagons and sold in the country towns and consumed by the local buyer. Here is the farmer's end of it: Hay, 54.000,000 tons—think of it! look at one of these pictures and think of hauling 54,000,000 loads of hay to market on roads like that 90,000,000 tons of cereals G,000.000 tons of potatoes, 2,000,000 tons of cotton total, 152,000,000 tons, not counting the mud on the wagon wheels.

The road and the wagon are the twin hand-maidens of agriculture that attend the farmer on every journey to market, and they are forever at odds with each other. If the man who sold that wagon to the farmer had tried to sell that road to him, homicide would have become a virtue 152,000,000 tons of produce §500,000,000 paid for farm implements and machinery to harvest it with 81,200,000,000 invested in farm horses and mules to drag it to market. Think of it! Think of being director in a corporation With that amount of business on hand, with countless millions of paid-up capital invested, and think of doing business in a mortar bed! Think of waiting for the mud to dry up! Sixteen million horses and mules idle in the stable 84,000,000 a day for horse feed $28,000,000 a veek. Think of the loss of time and labor, the dwarfed and shrunken values of farms, of the slack supply and good prices, when the roads are impassable. Think of the procession of farmers that rush to town and glut the market in the first .days of dry weather, and think of the paltry prices they get when everybody is trying to sell to an overstocked market.

An instructive lesson is taught by an experiment lately made in Germany. It was as follows:

On one road which was macadamized and maintained for a year at a cost of §7,440 an instructive comparison, was made between the cost of hauling 470,000 cubic feet of wood over the old and over the new roads. On the old road 4,273 loads were required of 110 cubic feet each, and costing §3.00, or amounting in total to 815,282.80. On the new road the same quantity was moved in 2,652 loads of 177 cubic feet each, and the cost, at the same price a load, was 89,547.20, which means that the saving in haulage alone was $5,'735 or 75 per cent, of the cost of the road in one year.

"I WAS not born yesterday, have been in politics a year or two, and they can't fool me about this presidential business. I am for another man, but McKinley is going to win." So said a Western Congressman to the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times-Herald, whose State has a "favorite son" candidate. "Of course we are for our own candidate, and we are supporting him honestly, but we feel he cannot win. The bosses are against McKinley, but they can't beat him. The bosses are losing their power in the parity, and I say thithough some of them are my best friends'. They have lost their grip, and the people are running the paity. I have been doing some figuring myself, and have compared figures with the Reed, Allison and Morton leaders here. They agree that McKinley will have from 325 to 375 votes on the first ballot, about 455 being required to nominate. These are votes that will stick to him. After the first ballot the favorite sons will drop out, one by one. Reed is practically beaten now, and will go down hill all the time. In order to beat McKinley it will be necr essary to unite the field on some man. Suppose the effort is made with Allison. Many New England votes, twenty New Yoik votes, the same number of Pennsylvania votes, the Illinois votes, votes in other States cannot be taken to Allison. Votes in Western States can't be taken to Reed or Morton. McKinley will grow on every ballot. He will profit by every shake of the box. The bosses are not powerful enough to beat him."

THE leading article in Gunton's Magazine for March discusses the '"Silver Senators and Protection." In the course of the article Mr. Gunton gives his theory how bimetallism may be accomplished. He says:

If the sixteen silver Senators and their followers are dishonest, they are not worth lecognizing by any party. If they are honest and really want bimetallism, they will be willing to accept the policy that will give bimetallism. Bimetallism can be accomplished iu one or two ways. 1. By the limited use of the cheaper metal at a definite ratio, say 16 to 1 the restriction being sufficient to prevent silver from entirely displacing gold in the monetary circulation. 2. By the unlimited use of silver at its bullion value—that is to say, the unlimited coinage of silver at a flexible ratio, so that the silver dollar-will always contain a dollar's worth of silver regardless of the number of grains. Either of these two plans would afford bimetallism without a depreciation in the monetary value of either metal. The fixed ratio involves limited coinage, and unlimited coinage involves flexible ratio. If the silver people insist upon 16 to 1, they must expect limited coinage. If they insist upon free coinage, they must expect flexible ratio.

IT will be difficult for the average delegate to the Republican National Convention who has not been absolutely pledged to a candidate, to prevent being carried along by the tidal wave of McKinleyism which will sweep the convention from the call of the first State. This is already Apparent'from the election of delegates in the various States, afid especially those which will be in the early part of the rollcall. The custom in conyentions is that the States are called alphabetically for their votes. This being the case the roll-call will begin with Alabama and follow with Arkansas and California, and so on down tho list. lYoin present indications the first dozen States or so in the list seem likely to be pretty nearly unanimous for McKinley. Omitting the four New England States of Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, whose delegates, all told, will number less than sixty, it looks as though it would be almost a solid and constant succession of McKinley delegates, as State after State announces its choice, until the State of New York is reached. This will be more than half way through the list, and even on the second half will come Ohio with her solid delegation, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Virginia, North and South Carolina and West Virginia. The unpledged delegate who can withstand such a tidal wave, or succession of tidal waves, as this will prove, will be an anomaly in politics.

THERE is evidence on all hands of the decline of horse-racing in this country, says the St. Louis QlobeDciyocrat. The low price of thoroughbreds is one fact that is noticeable. Horses that were formerly sold for several thousand dollars now sell for a few hundred. The Chicago Derby for this year, which was considered to be worth §20,000 to the winner, has been withdrawn, and in other directions it is manifest that what used to be called "the sport of kings" is no longer the sport of anyone but gamblers. The gamblers own the horses and run them to.suit themselves. The distances have bean cut down so that a race of more than a mile is a thing almost unknown, even in the summer season, on most of the tracks.

SrEAKiNG

of the rupture in the Sal­

vation Army and the probabilities of two Armies the New York Tribune says:

If we are to have two Salvation Armies as now seems probable, there is no reason to doubt that the country contains sinners enough for both of them to act u£on indefinitely. There is abundant good work to do without the need oftcollision between them, or without any moral obligition upon them to bite their thumbs at each other. It would seem as if America was large enough and contained reprobates enough to have an army of its own and if such a one is to be organized it will not lack support and encouragement. There are Booths enough to go around, no matter how many squadrons may be set in the field, so that for the present, at least, there will be no lack of commanders.

THE Republican State Central committee has issued the official call for the State convention to be held at Indianapolis, May 9. 'i'he convention will be composed of

1.4 5

delegates and

708 will be necessary ror a choice for nominations. The delegates from the various districts will meet the night before for the purpose of completing the preliminary organization. Besides adopting the State platform the following nominations are to be made in the State convention Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor ot State, Treasurer of State, Attorney General, Reporter of Supreme Court, Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Statistician, five judges of the Appellate Court. Also there will be selected four delegates at large to the National convention, and four alternates!, and two National Electors for the State at large.

UNDER the Congressional apportionment made by the last Legislature the Ninth district is composed of tliecoun ties of Carroll, Clinton, Boone, Fountain, Hamilton, Montgomery and Tipton. The vote for Secretary of State in 1894 was'as follows:

Myers, Owen, Taylor, Kob, JJem. Rep. Pro. Pop.

Carroll 22.2 2420 152 257 Clinton 2040 3556 261 307 Boone 3029 3351 8. 375 Fountain 2227 2583 *'88 4Sj Hamilton 2217 8992 302 170 Montgomery..-3037 4096 132 136 Tipton 2086 2047 114 559

18388 22045 1224 2229

Kep. plur 3657. The same counties in 1892 gave Harrison a plurality of 1,176 over Cleve land. This therefore may be considered the normal vote of the district. Indications point to a duplication of the vote of 1894. This may be expected uuless the Republicans commit hari kari and beat themselves.

NEW CASTLE Courier: An Indianap olis school supply house, Baker & Thornton by name, is making itself conspicuous by advising township trustees to ignore the law requiring the publication of receipts and expenditures. No honest trustee will heed their counsel, which is given in order that they may transact business with trustees in their own peculiar way. The law is a good one and will be strictly enforced. If any dishonest trustee thinks it will not, let him try to ignore it.

MANIRFACRFRBXKG IN JAPAN. The condition cf Japan, as a new rival in the manufacturing world, is beginning to excite the deepest interest among thinking people in all other nations. The Japanese are in all kinds of handicraft the most imitative people in the world. If they see a tiling made they can immediately make one like it. In the last few years they -have been into ail other nations for the express purpose of learning how things are made by machinery. They are now busy selecting the best methods the world can afford for manufacturing all the necessaries and comforts of life, and they arerapldly putting these methods into operation in their own country. But recently a number of watch-makers from this country have been induced to build an immense tfatch factory in that country. It was started one year ago last January, end is how in successful operation, turning out 150 watches per day. Large numbers of Japanese young men are being trained in it, and it will soon be run entirely by Japanese labor, at from 10 cents to 50 cents per day. This will enable the factory to sell watches for less than one-half what they can be manufactured for in this country. There are now in that country in successful operation 61 cotton factories, turning out fabrics of the finest and best quality, all built within the last few years, many of them by the government. Doubtless the rapid increase in manufacturing in Japan will greatly increase the price of labor in that country, in the course of time, but it is to be presumed that labor there, for many years, will be much cheaper than in this country or in any of the countries of Europe. Japan 'will soon be a competitor of England in furnishing cotton goods, and of the United States in supplying the world with watches. What will England do? There are only two things she can do —go back to a protective tariff or reduce her labor to the level of that of Japan. The United States will have no trouble on that score. Having all the resources of life within its own boundary, it can protect itself against the cheap labor of Japan. But England can live only on commerce. She must find markets abroad or go to the wall. She has no great home market for her manufactures like the United States, and is in a position where she cannot even protect herself by a high tariff. She might shut Japan out of her markets, but she cannot shut her out of other nations, nor can she compete with her except by reducing the price of labor. The situation is a serious one for England. If modern machinery shall continue to be introduced into Japan and China, to be used in conjunction with their cheap labor, it is easy to see that the course of the commerce of the world will be greatly interrupted and labor troubles will become more prevalent than ever, in European countvies. We are so fortunately situated that we can take care of ourselves, but it is not so with those who are compelled to idepend on foreign markets for the sale of their goods. The danger that threatens the nations of the world from the cheap labor of Japan and China, will give emphasis to the comiug protection campaign in the United States, and convinces all that the idea of free trade in this country must be forever abandoned.

WHEN we resumed specie payments in 1879, our domestic animals, horses, mules, cattle, sheep and swine, were valued at §1,445,423,062. During the ensuing six years, until the election of Mr. Cleveland in 1884, the values increased to §2,467,868,924, again during six years of Republican rule of §1,022,. 445,862. During the ensuing four years, until the election of General Harrison in 1888, values decreased from §2,467,888,924 to §2,409,043,418, a loss during four years of Democratic rule of §58,825,506. During the ensuing four years, until the second election of Mr. Cleveland in 1892, value again increased from §2,409,043,418 to §3,461,755,698, a gain during four years of Republican rule of §52,712,280 During the last two years, under the second administration of Mr. Cleveland, and under proposed and accomplished free trade and sweeping tariff reductions, values again decreased from ?2,iS3,506,(i81 to the comparatively insignificant total of §1,819,446, 306, showing the enormous loss in two years of Democratic rule of §664,060,375 The above figures were given by Senator Francis E. Warren in a speech deliveredthe other day in the Senate. Do the American people comprehend that their losses in live stock alone have been §1,100,000 for every working day during the past two years?

DISAG BEEMENT ibetween the Senate and House as to the form of the resolutions to be adopted in reference to the question of Cuban belligerency has led to the appointment of a committee of conference, which has reported in favor of the adoption of the House resolutions, and the present prospect is that tbey will be adopted by both Houses to-day.. The resolutions declare that in the opinion of Congress a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are entitled to belligerent rights, that the United States

••-JFFLBE'

should observe a strict neutrality between the belligerents, and that deploring the destruction of life and property caused by the war now waging in that island, and believing that the only permanent solution of the contest, equally in the interests of Spain, the people of Cuba and other nations, would be in the establishment of a government by the choice of the people of Cuba, Congress believes that the government of the United States should use its good offices and friendly influence to that end.

THE Democratic newspapers which have been looking into the prospects of the Republican candidates, continue to express the opinion that McKinley is far in the lead and likely to win. The New York World, which has been making a study in all parts of the country, says:

The indications are unmistakable that a large majority of the Republicans of the West and South strongly favor the nomination of McKinley. Even in this State it will require all the power of the Piatt machine and of the Governor's patronage to prevent the election of McKinley delegates in some the strongest Republican districts. An attempt by Piatt to throw the New York delegation as a unit against McKinley. with Gov. Morton out of the race, would surely be futile. The Ohio leader represents as nobody else does the policy of high protection, which is the Republican party's pivotal principle for the coming campaign. Yet it is equally obvious that the most powerful bosses in the party are against McKinley. They dislike him only less than they did Harrison. Piatt in New York, Quay in Pennsylvania, Reed and his managers in New England, and others of the most skillful politicians, will defeat him if they can. It is for this purpose that they have instigated or encouraged the candidacy of various "favorite sons," hoping to make the field against McKinley so large that it can be combined to beat him. It is not likely that thsy will succeed. The bosses very rarely control National Conventions. They were against Cleveland in 1884 and 1892, and yet be was nominated. They were against Harrison four years ago, and yet he prevailed. The Republican sentiment in favor of McKinley bids fair to be irresistible.

THE Government's financial operations last month, according to the monthly Treasury Department statemen, resulted in a big increase in the gold reserve, amounting in» the aggregate to about §75,000,000, and in a correspondingly large increase in the Treasury surplus and the bonded indebtedness of the country. The gold reserve has again, for the fourth time within two years, been replenished in the Democratic way—by borrowing— and the increased surplus obtained in this way or some of it will be needed later on to help pay Government current expenses, which, so far in the current fiscal year, or for the last eight months, have been about §18,000,000 more than receipts. The total debt of the country to-day, less 8262,707,006 net cash balance in the Treasury, aggregates §937,067,473. Of this amount §822,615,170 is bonded indebtedness.

THE country is not raising revenue enough to meet its current expenses, and instead of manfully trying

10

make

its receipts equal its outgo, it is borrowing money to pay its bills, and piling up the national debt again in time of peace, just as we did thirty-five years in time of war. That course is madness, and there is no other, save to raise the money either by direct taxes or a tariff. Direct taxeB would destroy any party that levied them. From the days of George Washington down, the accepted method of raising money for the expenses of the general government in this country has been by a tariff, and the one thing that the people have shown that they want now is to get back to it.

L«gi Crushed.

Charley Waker, the sixteen year old son of West Waker, had both of his legs crushed Monday morning between two saw logs at the Crawfordsvillle Lumber Company's saw mill. He is not seriously hurt but will no doubt be laid up for several days.

TUE man who eats because he is hungry is, thus far, on a level with the brutes. The man who stops eating the moment his hunger is appeased is the wise man. Nature needs no more food than she calls. Continued excess brings about indigestion or dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, ambition and mental power, and an accumulation of aches, pains and many dangerous local maladies.

The stomach now can do nothing alone. We must appeal to some artificially digested food which can also digest other foods. That is to say we must use the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect is prompt and cheering. The chronic pain and distress ceasesAppetite presently revives. FJesh and vigor gradually come back, and the sufferer recovers. But ho must be careful in future.

A PECULIAR CASE

PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF MRS. BOWEfl.

The Epticopal Hospital Said She Had Consumption. (From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa.) Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted ft woman whose pale and emaciated fuce and' racking cough proclaimed her the victim of consumption. She gave her name as Mrs. Sallie G. Bowen, wife of Wm. G. Bowen-, residence, 1849 Meighan St. Philadelphia. The case was diagnosed and BIIU was mid plainly that she was in an advanced stago' of consumption. The examining physician even showed her the sunken place "in lier' breast where the cavity in her lung was sunposed to exist. She went home toner family a broken, disheartened woman with death Btaring her in the face. That was the beginning of the story, the end was told by Sirs. Bowen, who no longer expects to die, to a reporter who visited her home.

The first symptoms of consumption came in the form of terrible sweats, both night, and day. From April until September I was constantly cold and kept wrapped up in blankets through the hottest weather. A terrible cough took possession of me, my breast was sore to the slightest touch, nnii my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest, rubbing with the coarsest towel would not create the slightest flush, and the least exertion would so exhaust me that 1 could barely gasp for water.

I went to the hospital in July nnd they a no as as a at it was when the clouds were the darkest... that the first glint of sunshine came. Mr. Shelmerdine, a friend, who lives around at 1844 Clementine St., said to me one day, "Mrs„ Bowen did you ever try Ir. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People I had never heard of the medicine but in my condition could not. turn a deaf ear to anything that ottered relief. It was after considerable thought and investigation that 1 concluded to discontinueall the medicine I wns taking, includingeod liver oil, and depend entirely upon Pink Pills. I le™an to take the pills, at first1 with bnt little encouragement. The sign of improvement \v:is a warmth and a tingling sensation in my limbs. Finallythe con.jh disappeared, mv chest lost ir« soreness and I ba'»an to gain flesh until 1 was fifteen pounds heavier. All this I own to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I cannot praise them too highly."

Mrs. Bar/on is. 'tind'r fheo'l lady of middle at e, a church member well-known .. and highly esteemed. She looks to-day, well and strong and it. sei.im almost impossible that she was ever given up by eminent phvsieiuno as an incurablc consumptive. Yet such i3 the case beyond all dispute.
