The notice of the new election precincts in this county as established by the county commissioners appears in this paper. It is the duty of every voter in the county to familiarize himself with its requirements and know just where he is to vote before election day. For this reason the notice should be carefully preserved for future reference as it will only appear once in the Democrat; Rt. Rev. Bishop Dwenger, of Fort Wayne, has been at Chicago this week to consult some eminent specialists regarding his heart trouble with which he has been afflicted for some time. The specialists thought the prelate’s condition was not alarming, but he was advised to have a cessation from all clerical work for one year, and he has determined to obey their instructions. The ecclesiastical duties oft the diocese will devolve upon Vicar General Brammer during the period of the bishop's rest. Pat Maloney’s show exhibited here on Monday night, and gave first-class satisfaction to a large audience that had turned out in spite of the storm. Pat himself is a comedian of more than ordinary ability, and succeeded in keeping up an almost constant laugh. Miss Maud Werner is a talented and, pleasing vocalist, aud was repeatedly encored. The dancing, banjo playing, imitations with bones, and the sketches were all ,good in their way, and the programme concluded with a rattling sketch. In the play they make it very pleasant for Pat, who is out on a visit, and, altogether, they mrke»it pleasant for the audience.— Newton (N. J.) Independent.

The Deratur Journal and Democrat are now all home print, but the Democrat is considerable smaller than heretofore. Both papers present a better ap pearance and give their readers considerable more horn * reading matter. The Breeze wish both brethren success and prosperl'y in the future as in the past.— Monroeville Breeze. The foregoing paragraph is all right with the exception that the Democrat and Journal are not in a proper sense “all home print” nor is the Democrat smaller than heretofore.

Like Monroeville, the printing business must be falling off in Decatur.— Monroeville Breeze. If we were not personally acquainted with our Monroeville neighbor, and knew his habits to be good, we would be inclined to surmise that the foregoing paragraph was the result of buying the “oh, be joyful” a quart at a time, which’ is now said to be the size of a Monroeville drink, but as the Breeze man don’t indulge, the fault must lie in his eyesight. For his special “edification” allow us to remark that the Democrat has increased in size to a seven column quarto, eight pages, and contains about oue-third more reading matter than before the change was made. Besides, the circulation is ! booming like a western town. In short the Democrat is getting there handsomely.

Jay County Fair. Jay county has the reputation of having the best fair of any county in the state.

a full, true, perfect and complete transcript aud copy of the order of the Board of Commissioners of said county of Adams, ss the same remains among the records ot said county. In testimony whereof, I hitve : hereunto suU scribed my name and affixed the seal of tn<e Board of Commissioners, at my office, at Decatur, this 13th day of September, 1890. L. C. Miller, Auditor of Adams Co.g The McKinley Bill. The McKinley bill, it is said by Repub licans, proposes to reduce the revenues on necessaries ot every day life; But this is not true. It increases the same. If we take only two items on the list we will/see that this latter assertion is correct. \ The tax on tin plate, tor instance, we find to be increased. The tax at present is one cent per pound, and out of this revenue the government derived the sum of $7,69,459.72 within the las' year. This was a revenue tax, every cent of which went into the U. S. treasury. We have no tin plate manufactories in our country, though this tax amounts to a protection of 35 per cent. How does this tax effect the people? Tin plate is an important article. It is used in every family in the land, and therefore effects every household. Last year the consumers paid for $21,000,000 worth of tin plate; $21,000,000 were paid to the manufacturer and $7,000, 000 were paid to the government. The McKinley bill proposes to increase this tax from one cent to two and a half cents. In other words, it proposes to raisd the tax to $16,000,000 in 1890 against $7,279,000 in ISB9. To make it still more plain. For every dollars’ worth of tin goods you buy now you are required to lay down $1.35, but if the McKinley bill becomes a law, you are required to pay $i, 75 f or every 4ollars’ worth ot tin ware you buy. You ask: Why this raise? Answer: It might be that someone would (in the future) want to start up a tin plate factory in this country, and he would have to bring his workingmen over here (because there are no tin plate workers in this country) and the said manufacturer must be protected at the expense of the people of this country, 1 The second item on the list to which our attention is drawn is the spool thread business. A spool of thread (200 yards) costs two cents. The tax on the same is one and two-tenths cents. Fifty spools which cost $1 00 without the .tax will cost $1.60 with the tax. Thread is made by only two or three firms, the principal firm being the J. & P Coats Company. They have mills in England and America. The thread sold here is made here, and the thread for England is made in England, and still the price is increased to the extent the tax permits. Or in other words, 60 cents are added to every dollars’ worth of thread in America. These additional 60 cents do not benefit the government, it does not receive one penny, but it benefits the manufacturer, Coats & Co. The capital invested by Coats & Co. amunts to SIO,OOO 000, the profits received from this investment amounted to $2,000,000 in 18S9. Who will deny that protection does not benefit soirie one?
