Cbeadle'ri Campaign.

Indianapolis News: W. H. Hart, deputy Auditor of State, has made a wager with D. F. Allen, tax commissioner, both being citizens of Clinton county, that Charles B. Landis, the Republican candidate for Congress, will defeat Joseph B. Cheadle, the Democratic nominee for the Game otlice, by 1,000 votes. "Cheadle's canvass," said Mr. Hart, "is showing a decided weakness. In some parts of his district he calls himself a free silver Republican, and nowhere has he used the word Democrat in any of his speeches. At the time he secured the pledge of a number of old soldiers to vote for him if nominated, it was understood that the pledges were given on the understanding that he would run as a Republican candidate, and not as an independent or Democratic candidate. -He will be defeated by a large majority in the district."

WORK, WAGES AND MONEY.

Man Who Believes In Opening the MIIIB and Factories Instead t. of the Miuft*.

To tho Editor of The Journal. If you will give me space JOUKNAL I will try to give, judgment, what is the matter with times. It seems that my fellow workmen are troubled about money more than they are about wages.

in the in my

I will not go back farther than the year 1853-54. The processions of the unemployed paraded the streets of New York, and soup houses for the gratuitous feeding of the starving poor were opened in all parts of the city, as well as in the other cities of the Atlantic coast. Manufactures and agriculture were in a state of prolonged prostration. When CoDgress met in December the business of the country had just been crushed by one of the periodical revolutions which, are the inevitable result of our unsound and extravagant system of bank credits and inflated currency. President Buchanan, in his message of December li, 1S57, said:

With all the element of national wealth in abundauce our manufacturs were suspended, our public and private enterprises were arrested and thousands of laborers deprived of employment and reduced to want.

This was before tbe "crime of 'V.'i," of which the free silver orators are telling us. They tell us about 80 years of prosperous times. Did you ever stop to think about slave labor in part of this country? If these things existed to-day where would I and the rest of the poor laborers be? Stop and think and answer if the Republican party hasn't done something for us.

Here are some of the facts about banking: In 1800 there were 278 savings banks, with 008,870 depositors of §149,277,504, an average of S215.19. In 1870 there were 51 depositors, $54'.),874,35S, an average of 8337.07. In 1S80 there were 029 banks, with 3,335,582 depositors of §819,106,973, an average of S350.71. In 1S90 there were 921 banks, with 4,258,S93 depositors of SI,524,844,506, an average of S35S.03. In 1800 tbe average of deposits to the whole population of the country was

84.75

per head in 1870,

$14.20: in 1S80, S10.33 and in 1890, S24 35. In these thirty years tbe population was doubled, the number of depositors had increased sevenfold, and the amount of money has increased tenfold. Some difference between facts and fiction.

Now.look a little farther and see the country's condition in 1860 and how Lincoln and his Secretary found things when they took the reins of this country:

On the 4th of March, 1761, the public debt was $GS,4S2,G8(. 19, as stated by Secretary Chase. The Treasury was empty and the public credit seriously impaired. There was hardly the pretense of an army. The little navy was scattered in distant seas and the small amount of arms and amunition of war mostly witbin the reach of the rebels. Our ships had been seized, ae had our mints, arsenals and other property. Seven States had seceded and formed a confederate government. Our llag had been fired on in Charleston harbor and our troops captured in Texas. A state of war existed when Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated, and all Europe thought the great Republic was doomed.

The amount of specie in the country was estimated at §250,000,000, and the amount of State Bank notes at S202,900,000. There were no greenback notes of the Government and no National Bank notes of any kind. For years the balance of trade had been largely against us. The tariffs of 1847 and 1M57 failed to produce sufficient revenue to meet current expenses. The credit of the government was so badly impaired that 0 per cent bonds had to be sold at 12 per cent discount. These were the conditions under which the free silver teachers tell us were prosperous times. If you laboring men call those good times 1 hope they will never come Remember this was under free silver. Remember that the same party wants you to put them in power that brought soup houses in lftf3 4. Let us read and study the history of that party and see if we can't find a better party to vote for than the one that established soup houses in 1892. We gave them power and soup houses followed. Now let us see if we can get work by opening the mints of the United States.

Will that give you and me work? Will that give us times like we had in 1890? I think we can get work without open ing the mints.

Let us look at the condition of the country in 3 892 and see whether we could get work and at good wages The new industries that were established from October 6, 1890, up to October 22, 1892, numbered 345 and the ex tensions of existing plants, 108. The new capital invested amounted to $40,446,060 and the number of addl tional employes to 37,285. During the first six months of 1891 135 manufact ories were built, of which forty were cotton mills, forty-eight knitting mills, twenty-six woollen mills, fif teen silk mills, four plush mills, and two linen mills. Of the forty cotton mills twenty-one were built in the Southern States. Such was the condi­

tion of the country in 1S92. How has it been since and how is it now? Up Now, laboring man, just think and study about this matter and see if we are going to be led astray. Think about who has the silver bullion. The men who have it will not give it to us.

We will have to labor in some way to get it. Then let us be careful. Let us vote to open up factories and mills and see if we can't get work and when we get work we will get wages. Let us judge the future by the past and let us cast our ballot for the man that will do the most good for the 'poor, and that is William McKinley, the grand soldier, statesman and,\frieud to labor.

Farmers were led astray Ifour years ago about robber tariff and high price for wheat, corn and all farm products. Let us not go on fiction but facts. Remember that Lincoln freed the negro and Cleveland freed the laborer. Be care/ul that Bryan don't make things worse. Let us read tbe history of the country and see where Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson and Lincoln stood and follow in tbeir footsteps.

Colin Campbell's Case.

Indianapolis News: In the Criminal Court the ease against Colin Campbell, who is charged with embezzlement, was resumed where it stopped when one of the jurors was taken ill during the summer. The same jury was in the box. Campbell is the young man who went with Effie Culver to St Louis, where the couple was found and Miss Culver, according to her story, rescued Campbell was in court, smiling and serene. His hair was plastered smoothly down on his forehead, his mustache had a remarkable curl to it, and he wore a geranium leaf on his coat. He was confident in manner and moved about as if having more business on hand than the court itself. The court was rather terse, apparently feeling well after his vacation. He gave his rulings with a decision that was noticeable. The State offered frequent and emphatic objections to his findings, but the Judge was firm.

The testimony related to Campbell's connection with an insurance company and his flight from the city.

New ^onon Reorganization. The reorganization committee of the New Monon is at work, and in a short time a process of foreclosure under an existing mortgage will be instituted The object is to get the road once more into the hands of its owners, instead of having it in charge of a receiver. There is to be, it is understood, no assessment of the stockholders, as the road has been thoroughly reorganized within the last four years. It is asserted that President Thomas has invested over a million dollars in the preferred-'and common stock and as much more in the bonds.

Under the management of W. H. McDoel, who is acting as receiver now, the road has been successful, and his annual report, which will be published in a few days, will show a surplus of §100,000 or more over all charges

Gtiverncuent Crop Balletion.

Ihe weekly crop bulletin for the Central Indiana Station, issued Monday, is as follows:

Cool weather prevailed, with local rains. Corn matured very rapidly most is cut and iu shock, and the late planted corn still out will be beyond danger from frost within a few days. In most localities the corn crop is very large, and some farmers wonder what they will do with all the corn. Tobacco is nearly all housed. Buckwheat is in good condition, but not safe from frost. In most counties a great crop of good potatoes are being dug in low lands they were ruined by rotting. A very large crop of cabbage is growing. Millet is a good crop. Tomatoes are ripening slowly the crop is large. Pasturage is excellent, l'eaches and grapes are abundant. A second growth of grass is being cut.

Some cherry trees are a second time in bloom in Scott and Owen counties, and early apples trees are in bloom again in Owen county. Plowing progressed rapidly in some localities plowing is done. Seeding wheat, rye, oats and timothy has begun under favorable conditions, except in some parts of the southern portion, where the ground is too dry. Threshing is most done. Clover hulling continues: in some localities the yield is light.
