lie xk'uwrviU *« **/, >rf* Fo->jrK*rvr Frt IDA Y, MA §&> ■%>'. ,-n- - ■ * ’ Some of the farmers along the line of road that we mentioned last week as being one <>f which th>* petition would be presented to the board of commissioners at t) e.ii next regular session, are ready to put in all that is necessarv to build the road, and more. But while some are opposed to the improvement for the reason that they fea> it will be too expensive. If thei will give the-matter some attention they will find that it will not be a> expensive as they have been led to believe, for al! parties whose land abuts on the road that the improve: naents all .on it will cost about 82 Os; per acre for the? first half mile adjoining the road, and about §1.50 for the second half mile and §I.OO for the third half mile, so that it is very easy tor each one to find out just what it will cost them when the work is done. * While all such improvement meets with opposition from parties who have somewhat, they think good reasons therefore, and without any doubt some are right, but if they will wait with improvements until all are ready, the impovements will never be made. The only way to do is to get the requsite number of signers to the petition, and then let the good work go on. Commence this year, and get ready to begin the work next spring so that it may be completed before the summer is past, and the payment will commence in about one year from the time the road is completed, and we guarantee that those who oppose the building of the road now, will be the ones who will be the best pleased with it when completed. What is the matter with our Republican friends that so far they have failed to claim that the McKinley bill is the cause of the advance in grain and hay? Have they forgotten it or are they afraid the laboring class will feel that the prices of such articles is not what they want. While wages are low, truly they are placed in a bad light. While they are patting the farmer on the back and promising them all, that they are ever ready to assist them, and that all they want is more tariff and it will be done. While to the laborer they say, give us a chance to increase *v. the tariff, and your wages shall be v increased. While to the farmer the prospects for crops are good, io the laborer the outlook is not. so fair. Mayor Reed -will continue to conduct business at the city hall and will be found dealing out justice to all who are brought before him, let them be who they may. While Marshal Fristoe will be looking after violators of the law on the outside for the next two years, so that we will haye one of the most peaceable and quiet cities in the state under the careful management of the Democratic officials, such as all our citizens will feel proud of and officers that are honest, capable and qualified, who; will discharge their duty irrespective of what may be the standing of the one before them. While our councJy will be as they have been for some time past, on the lookout lor the best interests of the city. , — L - ? The tariff having been taken off j: -of sugar on the Ist of April, caused a reduction in the price of sugar, so that some of the Republican papers have been heralding the news to Rthe county 40 see what we have done in the way of reducing the 'Cost of an article that every one | w uses. Now will they tell us how E much’ the reduction of the tariff on sugar reduced the wages of the C hands employed in the business. |- The coke workers of Pennsyl vania are being starved into sub- | mission by their millionaire eml| ployers. Now is an opportunity for the fighting editor of the Jbur|l nal to explain this by one of his fearful and wonderful tariff diagrams. Get down your rule, thou g noble “wah boss.” ■L •’ J The only stamping that needs to be done in the election on Tuesday •C\ will be to stamp the square at the & head of the Democoratic ticket and K. the square in front of the words -rur Water Works.”

: ’I He. Artier vui .»j q>t M i ■<> « Ihe council have !>y puii’ion : < t»» suhiuit 1 oihe taxpayers ui ■’ the coy tor a vous on next Turn*- i ' day i> one that every- one is infer-■ ' ts-lcd in ami it Lvcc-mes neccstary , that every one should have a ■ definite understanding of the way ; the money is to be raised if the ; vote is favorable to the building of i the works. It will then become i necessary for ihe city to issue bonds j for the amount necessary to put in i the work, and place the bonds on ■ the market for sale. They will be * made to run the length of time that the council may think best for the interest ot the city. The longer the time that they run the better price they will bring, so that the works will be self-sustaining in a very short time if not in the start as a number of capitalists have been wanting to put in a plant for the city there can be no-question about the investment being A good paying one/or capitalisrtwhvould not be wanting to invest their money in it. So it will be to the city. There is no question but what the revenue that the city will derive from it will pay all the expenses and pay what hired help the fire department will have to keep. It will materially add to the safety of the city from tire, and do away with the further expense of building cisterns all over the city as will be the case without such. A fair conclusion fur all voters to come to is that a vote for water works w.ill be a vote for the best interests ofshe taxpayers and for the welfare of the city. The ticket will be attached to the regular tickets and will read “For Water Works,” “Against Water Works.” If you want to vote for water works all you have to do is to stamp the small’ square in front and to the left of the words “For Water Works.” Recollect that the square on only one ticket must be stamped, the stamping of both tickets will cause the vote to be thrown out, and the vote lost so far as the question of water works is concerned. Let every Democrat be out to the polls next Tuesday and vote the Democratic ticket. The ticket contains but one name m6re than the ticket nominated. It is just as necessary that the vote of the party Sit, and cast the entire ticket first to last, as though the oploil had a full ticket in the field. Then the water works question i£_tQ be determined, a matter in every one is interested. Be ■'siife'and come out and vote your sentiment on the water works question. Recollect that those voting for water works will stamp the square in front of the words “t or Water Works,” and those voting against water works will stamp the square in front of the words “Against Water Works.” The Wabash Times, one of our most valuable exchanges, came out in brand new dress last week. The Times has had a hard battle to fight in the former Republican county of this district, but from the appearance of the vote at the last election it seems that it was able to hold up its end and a little more. The once handsome majority of 1700 was cut down"to about 900. Dr. 11. W. Taylor, of Anderson, nominates Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indiana, for president in 1892. He says with Voorhees as its candidate the Democratic party could elect its ticket without even so much as thinking about an eastern state. He says Voorhees is the best man for the supreme leadership of the Democratic party and the people in the coming presidental campaign. The.new mayor of Chicago starts out with a reform with a big “R,” by issuing an order closing all gambling houses and pool rooms, so that all the sports of the windy city will be spread all over the country ready to find a victim or to locate a joint where they feel that they will not be molested. About all of our Republican exchanges, are telling how the party have reduced the price of sugar by taking off the tariff. If it cheapens sugar to the consumer to take the tariff off why will it not cheapen all other products if the tariff is taken off; give us more money and less tariff for this country. All the leading papers now say the plumed knight of Maine will not attempt to get the Republican nomination for President. Blaine recollects the attempt to do something of that kind a few years ago, when he stranded the party. ( m -

liSCIX TO OIWAXTZE. ! ELrwhvie in, this is-u«- will be ; !v.n» 1 a of great interest* u» aj> Democrats, fhowTug Low the party is to be organized fur the great snuggle hi 1892. The Democracy has m i-y limes lost a fight through Ja-.-k of urbanization, and it now seems io in* preparing to profit by the example <4 its opponent. The wont ui organization in the Democratic party is much more difficult than in the Republican party owing to the different composition and principles of the two. Advocating protection, subsidies and other policies favorable to monopolies and corporations, the Republican party has a source from which it can draw an unlimited supply of funds to keep the party together. These principles also furnish a motive for work which will keep a large element constantly interested in maintaining the party supremacy. On the other hand the Democracy has no such stimulus. Legislation, drawn on its lines of policy, benefits no great corporations or monopolies. It is for the good of all the people and, where any distinction is drawn at all, favors the poor against the rich. Every man who subscribes to a campaign fund does so with no expectation of reward except in the satisfaction arising from the triumph of his principles and the general good resulting from the carrying out of those principles. Blit when the Wanamakers and Carnegies and Goulds put their money into a Republican campaign fund they do it from ,the same motive that inspires them in any other investment of money—because they expect to reap a substantial profit. And it must be admitted that they are very seldom disappointed. Thus it will be seen what an immense advantage the Rupublican party possesses in the matter ot organization. It is gratifying to know that a systematic effort is being made to overcome it. Local committees should lend a hand in this work. When townships are thoroughly organized it is an easy matter to perfect a state organization. But the state organization should be made last. The townships should begin now by reviving the organizations which did such masterly work in 1888. This “done, there will be a basis tor the state and national committees to work on when formed next spring. As in the last quadrennial struggle, when the Democracy had a majority in the popular vote of the country, the next will be a campaign of education. The tariff will be the issue and the Republicans with unlimited “fat” fried from the beneficiaries of the McKinley law, will make the greatest effort in the party’s history to win. Bound together by the ties ot profit and spoils, no effort will be spared that promises advantages to the Republican party. Though in a vast majority the Democrats will find it necessary to strain every nerve in .order to win. They must begin the campaign early; thes ought to begin it now. The uneducated on the tariff must be educated, and those who are seeking light must haye it put before them. Much can be done before the national conventions are held. The work of Mr. Wilson, as set torth in the statement heretofore referred to, can be greatly facilitated by a little effort upon the part of local organizations. That effoit should be freely and willingly made, especially in this pivotal state of Indiana.—Znclianapolis Sentinel. The great strike that was arranged to take place May Ist,-has been postponed until somettime in the near future, when one of the largest and most determined strikes that ever was known in America will be declared for a reduction in hours. It will include all mines, manufactries and all labor organizations that this country is composed of, and if they are as well fortified as they seem to be making preparations for, they will be almost sure to win the day, for there are enough of them if they only can form an organization within themselves that will agree, they can control the matter to suit themselves. w The Farmers’ Alliance president of Missouri predicts that the third party movement will fail, and seems to be opposed to the convention that is to be held May 19th in Cincinnati, Ohio, and if reported correctly, will not appoint delegates to the convention, thinking that the project is too big to carry its own weight. - Memorial day, May 80th. What will our people do about it? j ; ■■■ . ■

4'" -Aft ' j \\ Anufu-a is one of the t greatest manuftcuiriiig nations ot ■ the world, and has been f'r some, ten or fifteen years past, aiid our manufacturers are among the richest in the World, they making millions in a few years. Such that no other nation can come anywheres near by the census of 1880. It was shown that we exceeded Great Britain in the total value of our manufactures by § 1,599,570,101; France by §2,115,000,000, and Germany by §89,305,000,000. This enormous growth of manufacture has been by reason of the high protective tariff. The farmer and the laboringmen always paying for the same in the way of tariff on the goods they buy. While the amount paid at one time is small, yet it is like the continual drop it keeps filling the pockets of the robber tariff day by day.* While the farmer and laborer continues to contribute to their untold millions; while their friends at home are frequently compelled to wait for their honest dues; while they pay to the millionaire manufacturer from ten to two' 0 hundred and fifty percent of their hard earnings, if their own family haye to go skimped for the necessaries of life, yet there are people in the country, and at this stage ot civilization, who will say that a high protective tariff it among the blessings that we as a nation enjoy, and call all free traders who ask that the same be reduced to a fair and living rate to the wage earner or those who “earn their bread in the sweat of their face,” while the manufacturers roll <in splendor at> their expense. But the time will come when they will be brought to a halt. The league of Republican clubs in session in Cincinnati heard a speech from its retiring president, John M. Thurston, in favor of civil service reform. Then it proceeded to ignore this former Republican doctrine and put the seal of its con demnation upon it by unanimously electing Headsman Clarkson as its president. Nothing could be more specific, and there is no opportunity for misunderstanding. President ' Harrison’s office-holders from this city, District Attorney Chambers and his assistant, Cockrum, went over to help in this convention of buccaneers, and, meanwhile, the United States court here stopped business and waited for them.— Civil Sei'vicc Chronicle. Senator Reagan, of Texas, has ' concluded that he could do better service for his country by tendering his resignation as United States 1 Senator, but with the intention of accepting a more lucrative position 1 in the state, that of chairman of the I Tex£s railway commission. The 1 commission which has just been created by the late legislature will have charge on the local freight rates in the state, and will see that all oppressive rates are abolished. The junketing trip of the president over the country is one of the plans arranged by the Republicans for the purpose off raising a campaign fund by some arrangements with the railroads. A Dangerous Period. As the season moves swiftly toward the boundary lines that lie between winter and spring, it frequently happens that the human system, which has borne the strain of winter, shows signs of relaxation. In all ages this period has been noted as a dangerous one, especially to those who have weak constitutions. A course of thg great blood purifier and tonic, S. S. S., will enable the most delicate to face the season’s changes with impunity. It is a medicine that not only strengthens the weak and the delicate, but is an additional safeguard for those who consider themselves strong. Baking Powder A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.
