The industrial edition issued Sunday by the Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette, was one of the best newspaper stunts ever carried out by an Indiana newspaper. The paper was an emblem of typographical beauty and reflects great credit upon the JournalGazette as a newspaper. The Standard OH company reduced the price of oil last week. Before it did so, however, It was thoughtful enough to cut down the price paid by it for crude petroleum. In this way the profits were kept at the old figure and the Standard gave renewed evidence that it is a business and not a benevolent institution. The stanch Democratic manufacturer, ex-Governor Douglas of Massachusetts, has said that if congress would give him free hides it could take the tariff off of shoes. But congress refuses to do either. It pro- j poses to keep the tariff on both hides and shoes. This doesn't do anything, however, but make the people's shoes cost a lot more than they should cost and a little thing like that does not worry congress. Senator Beveridge's lieutenants in Indiana are declaring in a loud tone of voice that his opposition to some of j Boss Aldrich's tariff proposals will be a great help to him in his race for reelection. But what will they say when he votes for the bill when put on its passage? He now assails it, but is certain to vote for it in the end be- J cause it it a “protection” measure ! after all and he is a “protectionist.” The people are being skinned alive and Senator Beveridge not only knows it, but admits it, yet, as it is being done in the name of “protection' he will help to saddle it on the masses whether or no. Far be it from us to withhold from the senator a jot or tittle of what may be his, but he is not getting himself out of the tariff woods.
