©he genwjcrcrt tf ' ; IT. BLAOKRVRN, Proprietor. FRIDAY. JULY 3. 18'31. Jack Foraker, of Ohio, is a liar rison malcontent. He says Blame has given us a splendid administration. Blaine is heart and* soul with the malcontents. Decency should prompt him to withdraw from the cabinet. r— The people demand only what is just and right. But the Republicans think it right to override the people, and when they refuse to submit, they think it the proper caper to tell the people they are too ignorant to know what their interests are. The census office has made public the tobacco statistics of Indiana. The total number of planters in the state during the census year was 4,457; the total erea devoted to tobacco 9,373 acres; the total product 7,710,297 pounds; and value of the crops to the producer and estimated on basis of actual sales $384,370. The harvest this year will be a bountiful one, but in the face of this fact, nearly three hundred failures were reportedjover the country last week, The McKinley bill and Bill McKinley are largely responsible for this condition of affairs. They are both candidates in Ohio this fall, however, and the people will get a whack at them. The Mail and Egress of New York remarks that “C. P. Huntington is a republican, as be ought to be.” C. P. Huntington is one of the gang which wrecked the Central Pacific road in order to swindle the government out, of fifty or sixty millions. Os course he is a republican, and of course he “ought to be” if he wants to be consistent. Hon. A. N. Martin, who was invited to address the Tammany Democracy at New York, upon the occasion of the celebration, July 4th, has been compelled to send a letter of regret because of pressing business engagements. Being invited to address such a body of national fame, was a very high compliment to our representative— Bluffton Bugle* The silver question will be a thing of the past when the great issues of 1892 are made up for the platform of the Republican party in Ohio entirely straddles the question so that the party may get on either side, but by that time they will have to account for the robber tariff so that they will be in a position where they will be compelled to drop all other issues except the one for the benefit of their bosses. Major McKinley promises on the Republican side at least this ‘‘Will be a campaign of education, * * * a school house campaign.” It is among the possibilities that the Major as schoolmaster may find a dearth of pupils. The country has taken a long course on protection and has graduated. The rank and file has paid dearly for what it has learned, as 9,000,000 mortgages attest. School has been dismissed, Major; the Republican college has closed and its professors may go home for an indefinite vacation. The enormous income of the government looks as though it never could be spent injudiciously, and during a Democratic administration it wa« not all spent, but a large amount was allowed to accumulate bo that there was a surplus on hand when the affairs of the government was turned over to the present administration, but is deems to have been used up by the billion dollar congress in a very shorte time, joo that an empty treasury confronts the people on the first ot June. While a government should not have any money on hand, only enough to pay the current expenses, and the servants of the people should not be allowed to collect a larger amount than is necessary to pay such expenses, for they are sure to squander it in away that will do no good for the people. <

.1 UIEAB McKIXLEY BOY.

The American a weekly “Devoted to the Protection of American Labor and Industries,” has a story intended to show the extraordinary cheapness brought about by high taxes. According to this story, a benevolent gentleman took a newsboy into a Bowery store m New York City and clothed him completely for $1.51, as follows: Suit..... .. TO cents. Can •••■ Scents. Shoes lUeents. Tie... scents. Stockings 10 cents Total $1.51 If Messrs. Harrison and McKinley are to be trusted in this case, we would be compelled to agree that this benevolent gentleman made a very cheap boy. But what arrant nonsense it is to attempt to impose such stuff as this on the American people! Everybody who is not in the last stage of imbecility knows that $1.51 will hardly do more than buy shoestrings for a fourteeu-year-old boy—the supposititious age of the hypothetical boy in this case. We give St. Louis prices for low-priced clothing (new) to fit a boy of that age, and they cannot be cut under in New York or anywhere else inside the lines ot the McKinley tariff: Suit (serge for summer) $ 8 00 Cap (woolen) .‘ 25 Shoes (leather) 1 50 Tie (cheap silk) 25 Stockings (low-grade cotton). 10 Total $lO 10 This is for a tolerably fair quality, such as might last a fourteen-yqpr-old boy for six weeks, if he were kept still enough. The shoes would not last more than a month. The ordinary $1.50 shoe is better in in its way than the ordinary $8 suit for youths, but the sole comes off or the leather breaks in a little while. This is the piactical expe rience of an observer with large (and costly) opportunities for knowing what he is talking about. Any shoe offered new under $1 for a child over ten years of age is not worth carrying off,, and the same rule applies to other articles of clothing in proportion. The McKinley bill puts at least 8100 a year on the cost of keeping any family of six children, the oldest fourteen, in ordinary clothing—not fine clothing, but the cheapest that can be had to be worth having at all. As the board of review meets next Monday in this city for the purpose of hearing those persons who seem to think that their property is not assessed high enough and those who are of the opinion that their assessments are too high, we herewith present the law on the subject: Sec. i 15. It shall be the duty of such Board at such meettug, to inquire as to the valuation of the various classes of property in the respective townships and divisions of the county and to make such changes, whether byway of increase or decrease, in such valuation as may be necessary to equalize the same as between the townships or divisions of townships, and to determine the rate per cent to be added or deducted in order to make a just and equitable equalization in the respective townships and divisions, so as to conform throughout the county to a just and equitable standard, reference being had to the natural and artificial characteristics and surroundings and other elements of value. Such Board shall also have power in proper cases to reduce or increase the valuation of any part’cular tract or lot. Such Board may consider lands, town lots and city lots as separate classes, if neces sary, for the purpose of equalization, and determine a percent of addition or reduction for such or any of said classes within the lespective townships, as between the several townships or other divisions. The Board shall have no power to reduce the aggregate valuation of all the townships below the true cash value, nor increase the same beyond the amount actually necessarv for a proper and just equalization. If the Board shall find the a ?g re B ate assessment is too high or too low or is generally unequal as to render it impracticable to equalize the same, it may set aside the assessment of the whole county, or of any township or townships therein arid order a new assessment, with instructions to the Assessors to increase or diminish the aggregate assessment of their respective townships in such amount as the Bc.yrd may d.ern right and just and consistent with law. The duration of the session of thg of Review shall not exceed eighteen days. Can the g. o. p. go before tue xiOßDtry in 1892 and ask the vote of the men who lost their positions or had their wages put instead of raised as promised by them oa ey,ery occasion whenever an opportunity presented itself. Will the laborers who have been thus gulled by the boodle gang, for the purpose of retaining in power the party that fa vore the oppression of the laborer for the benefit of the monopliss.

As a Republican journal stated last week that we would publish Chairman Jewett’s letter in our last, we will, for its edification, present it this week. The Democrat endorses every word and hopes that the officials of this county will act upon it. It is as follows: "fntosßAtic Statp. Centra). Com A.l' Ol' IM.'IANA, INDIANAPOLIS, j 11c liYji.

This is a plain ard simple duty. It is confidently expected that democrats charged with the fixing of tax rates throughout the state will, whin this matter is called to their attention, act piompt lv and in such away remove all danger of the people having to pay more taxes because of this recent tax law. In counties where republicans levy the taxes of course no relie. need be expected. Ti c republican idea of taxation is to collect every dollar and squander the surplus. Very truly yours, C. L. Jewett, Chairman Democratic State Committee. J. T. Riley, Secretary. From the best information that we can find that the American public has paid $4,500,000 in order that 1,000 boxes of tin plate may be made in this country, or about 84,500 per box.,/Is not this a pretty big price for American tin plates? Furthermore, after July Ist the additional tax imposed by Mr. McKinley and other high tariff Republicans will amount to $26.88 in place of sls per ton, and unless the American tin plate makers (if there shall be any) will produce vastly greater quantities than the samples they have yet done there will be an additional burden of $ll.BB per ton on all that is imported, as against a few samples that may in the course of a year be manufactured in the United States. It should be said that the sales made at $5.75 for import under. McKinley duty are for packing American canned goods to be exported to England, on which a drawback of 99 percent of the duty is refunded, so the English consumer gets our canned goods cheaper than the American consumers to the extent of $2.34 per box on the tin plates. The Democrats of Ohio will meet July 14th and 15th at Cleveland to nominate candidates for the different state offices. While there is some opposition to Governor Campbell, there is but little doubt of his being the nominee, and with a united party he will be re-elected. If Secretary Noble is not going to Russia as the United States Minister, why should he be packing his books and getting together in such a systematic way? People don’t get team loads of yolumed law, logic and diplomacy boxed up to take to the seaside. Important Notice.
