■ L : ' j = == ©he Jf. BLACKS URH, Proprietor. FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1891, Peace and good will are likely to be assured tor a season. American and English gun boats will watch each other and the seals in Behring Sea, and in the meantime what of - the North American Company and its “contract?” <■' ■ — Tue Democracy ot Ohio seems to be laboring hard. The fight within the party for gubernatorial honors seems to be warmed up to the highest pitch. They all seem to be .sure of success, which makes the fight more interesting, but le*t who may be the nominee of the party. What they want is unity of action after the nomination, and victory seems to be assured. But if theparty is divided, then it will make but little difference whether it is Campbell or Nieal that receive the Democratic nomination for governor. ~ While Secretary Foster is figurV, ing with the capitalists of New York to continue the government loan at a small percent, people generally wonder why he does not redeem the government bonds as they fall due, and thus save the people the large interest account. Perhaps the government does not possess enough money to redeem the bonds, Very likely that is so. Billion dollar congresses make a big hole even in Uncle Sam’s pocket book. At any rate the secretary ought to be frank enough to let the people know the truth about the public finances. But it is the duty of .the Journal, as a public newspaper, to raW hell with the very apppearance of dishonesty. Decatur Journal. It does seem strange that a man 5 who holds himself up to the people as being a man of honor and integrity would make such a remark as the above, after having received the condemnation of the people a few ’months ago when he accused the old and time-honored ex-treas-urers of Adams county as being thieyes and! defaulters of the people’s money. He then not only accused the living ex-treasurers, but those deceased. Shame isiich a man. The tin-plate manufactory that was to be started in the State of Indiana during the last campaign is still on paper, and will probably remain so for all time to come. Men with money are slow to invest it in Inich enterprises without some assurance that they will be a financial success. Such has been the case with about all that has been started in the United States. They have been for the purpose of deluding the people, and to make political capital out of for the party of robbers that are at the head of this government, who are always ready to assist in any measure that will benefit the rich and rob the poor. Ex—Governor Gray is receiving a boom for president of the United States in 1892. The only question for the governor to get is the nomination. There will be no doubt as to his election he can carry this state by a rousing majority against any man the high tariff party may put up and especially the present encumbent. So he can a number of the western states and the party will make no mistake when in convention assembly if they should select him for the standard bearer for ( the next campaign.- With any ( western rpan the party is sure of success, hut with one known as Gov. , Gray, victory will be within easy ( reach. While the statesmanship ( that he will carry with him to the . executive department of the govern- 1 ment will be an honor to the state ( and a blessing to the people in gen- , eral. , ■ £ , William E. Ashcraft says in his paper of last week that the pro- j prietor of the Democrat has always stood up for the people of Adams i county, and defended them against all charges. We thank the gentle- * man very much for his kindliness in a making it known to his six or seyen a readers in this city of that fact. That is just what this paper has and will continue to do until men are proven guilty ot unjust accusations which have no backing save g through his insinuations that such j and such are facts. He insinuated t and charged the ex-treasurers, the living and the dead, with being defaulters, but he never showed that they were, and the people said in 11 onp voice that he was falsifier and a n slanderer of the dead. a •. ■

THE REBATE FOR FOREIGNERS. The Chicago TWfrune is generally reasonable enough in tariff matters except in campaign years, but in noticing the fact that the American Screw Company and the New Bedfoid Twist Drill Company are among the many industries which suffer from the McKinley bill it says that “an American is deserving of some(credit who caii import English steel, made it into tools and ship them back to England to compete with those made there. The drawback provision was made for his benefit, and he should not be deprivedof it by unreasonable customhouse regulations.? ■ Certainly the American who does this is entitled to credit, and not to credit only, but to the natural profits of his enterprise. But will not the 7ki7t«n&join us in looking a little closer into this matter with a view to deciding whether or not the drawback is both preposterous and unjust? First, the American manufacturer is taxed on his imported raw material, regardless of where he sells his product. If he sells it at home to Americans the tax is not returned to him, but he is expected to add it to his prices and force them to pay it. If, however, be sells to foreigners, the tax is returned to him less one percent to compensate the government. for its trouble in interfering with his trade. What could be more preposterous than this? How is it possible for the Tribune to defend it from the standpoint it occupies as one of the Republican newspapers which helped to bring about the passage of the McKinley bill? If by act of a Republican con gress foreigners buying American goods are specially exempted from 99 percent of the tax cost in raw materials used in producing the goods sold them, it would certainly seem to anyone a McKinle/ Protectionist that Americans Me entitled to equal favor m American legislation. If the Tribune answers, as is per-, fectly true, thaf these rebates on exported goods in order that our manuiacturers may sell cheaper to foreigners than at home, because if j they did not, foreigners, having the ’ benefit of competition, would not , ** all, the question at once pre- \ "hv Americans under sents itself v. . . "ot entitled to American laws are n, ' "'’tithe benefits of the same tion. The raw material tax paid by the manufacturer is added to the price of the product when an American consumer buys. This is the McKinley law, but what could be more preposterous or more unjust than that this same law should refund the raw material tax in order to make American goods cheaper for foreigners than for Americans? If cheap coats make cheap men, is it not imitforal to try to make “foreign pauper labor” cheaper than it is selling them American coats cheap when the same coat is sold high at home? If the raw material tax on an improved plough is 75 cents, and if the farmers in Illinois and lowa must pay this because a cheap plough would make him cheap and mean-sprited, what sort of neighborliness is it that knocks off the 75 cents the same plough is to be sold to a farmer in Brazil or Buenos Ayres? Would I it not be neighborly to charge them high prices and so ennoble them by elevating their moral natures to the standard of the McKinley bill? Ihe Republic cannot understand | the philosophy, the morals or the economy of this sort of thing. If cheap goods are desirable, there should be nothing in American laws to make them cheaper for foreigners than for Americans. If they are not desirable; if they are bad and demoralizing; if thev make cheap men, how wrong it is for this government to make a provision, of! law the declared purpose of which is to poison the morals of foreigners by rebating on our exports for foreigners by-thc elevating taxes which must be paid in Missouri, Arkansas and 1 exas, in Illinois, lowa and Wisconsin.— St. Louis Republic.

Pa aught to., talk to him about it. , - "i Republican papers g enerally are inclined to slur the fan aers political movement. The intole /rance is oJuaricteristic of the organ. ■ ' ■

THE DEFICIT HAS COME. The “available cash m the Treasury, including the national bank redemption fund,” is stated this nth at 853,700,000 by the Secretary of the Federal Treasury. As the na tional bank note redemption funl was 354,200,000, the available cash less this fund is therefore 8500,000 less than nothing. This shows how the Treasury books are being kept. The national bank fund is chargeable against the available cash, as it is a trust fund, turned into the available cash, but to cover the deficit the available cash is given “including the national bank fund.” Os course, it is possible to get at the deficit by comparing the cash on hand with its debt to the national bank fund, but the statement does not give the amount of that fund, and the Treasury book-keepers are reasonably Certain that not one man in every ten thousand will either recollect the amount or have a memorandum of it. After the misappropriation of this fund we have a Treasury juggle, in which “available cash” of only 853,700,000 is made to “include” a dissipated fund of over 854,200,000. To make even this showing the fractional silver in the Treasury (820,000,000) is included, and the 825,000,000 or upwards loaned out without interest to “the pet banks” is counted as if it -were actually in the Treasury, though Mr. Harrison is afraid to call it in. But no matter how 7 much facile book-keeping is done, the May statement of the «onditiori of the Treasury cannot be prevented from bristling with the fact that with an increase for this single month of 8621,000 is the debt the national bank fund has been wholly spent and there is an existing deficit of half a million. THE C ONNECTICUT DICTATORSHIP. The decision of the Supreme Court of Connecticut does not oust Holdover Bulkeley from the position he has usurped as Governor of the State after being voted out of office, but it takes away his claim ■ that there were irregularities in the returns justifying him in usurping 1 the office. The only difference between Bulkeley’s dictatorship and “ that attempted by Holdover Thayer - in is that Thayer, after being voted out, tried to hold on by force, but failed because of the de- > i section of the militia on whom he ■ I relief for support. The fact that euptf.tfffi Cpnri has Since . ~ - . *ffice Irom which placed him in an u.. ~ the people voted to eject hiZ? not make him the rightful Governor, but haying failed in his effort at force, having appealed to the courts, < and being now kept in office by the court which is of last resort in the purely State affairs of Nebraska, he is a lawful Governor in the sense that there is no lawful appeal within the State from the interpretation of the law given by the Supreme Court. In Connecticut, however, Holdover Bulkeley has been from the beginning what he still is—a lawless dictator, usurping office and putting on those who object the burden of getting him out or else of submitting to his usurpation. The returns of the official canvassing board of the State showed that the Democratic candidate tor Governor had been elected by a major- ! ity over the total vote cast for all other candidates for the office. Bulkeley simply challenged the result as officially declared, and issued a Spanish-American pronunciamen- ■ to with a distinct threat of violence against all who should attempt to interfere with him in his use of his usurped authority. Rather than adopt his own Mexican methods against him, the Democrats submitted and took the case into courts. The verdict they have won condemns him as an usurper, but it does not get him out, and the case may drag until another election finds him in possession, with opportunity to use the office against the people at the polls, in the same spirit in which lie has used it in spite of the verdict of eviction rendered against him at the polls. Tiie miserable Republican financial and political developments in Pennsylvania, together with the labor troubles which are the legitimate result of bad legislation, ought >,to combine to keep the keystone squarely in the arch of Democracy for sevearl years. Ba.llot reform will materially assist in keeping Ohio m the Democratic column.

Heart disease is usally supposed to be incurable, but when properly treated a large proportion of cases can be cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira Hatch, of Elkhart, Ind » and Mrs. Mary L. Baker, of Ovid, Mich., were cured after suffering twenty years, S. C. Linburger, .druggist at San Jose, 111. says that Dr. Mile's New Heart Cure, which cured the former, “worked wonders for his wife.” Levi Logan, of Buchanan, Mich., who had heart disease for thirty years, says two bottles -made him “feel like a new man.” Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure is sold and guaranteed by W. 11. Nachtrieb. Book of wonderful testimon ials free. From Nature’s Storehouse. It stands to reason that a medicine which will destroy the germs of contagious blood poison and counteract the effects of mercurial poisoning may be depended on to overcome the diseases that have their origin in malaria, or that have their seat in an impure condition of the blood. This is what S. S. S. has done, and what it will do, as its popularity attests. As a preventive, and a remedy for the long list of affections that display their activity during the spring and summer months, it stands without a rival. The secret of this is that it is a remedy drawn from nature’s own storehouse. Decatur Normal. . The Normal at this place will begin June 22, 1891, and be in session eight weeks. Instructions will be given in the commori branches and all others for which there may be a reasonable demand.
