Saurdry 7:30 p m Decrtur If two cents a pound bounty on sugar is the correct thing to those who raise beets, cane and maple trees, why not give a bounty to those who raise corn/ wheat, beei • and pork. This would equalize the inequalities of the tariff robbery, and wipe out farm mortgages. To wipe out -mortgages, following the logic of the Republican idea, would prove that the farmers are not in a prosperous condition, Judge Gresham is far from being an orthodox Republican on the tariff question. In deciding a property case in his court last week he incidentally remarked that “the government poeseses the absolute power to take any part of any man’s property for its own use, but ought not to possess the power to take any more than enough to defray the expenses of the government.” That sentiment borders very closely upon the Democratic declaration for tariff for Revenue only, j ■

The republican party is in favor of a free ballot when it can do the counting. Otherwise, a bayonet Since Hill made his great Brooklyn speech, Republicans wonder where New York is at. Evidently it is no longer included in Republican hope. Now the safe makers have formed a trust, presumably to lock up all the other trusts. This is a combination that will pinch people who are able to stand it, but the protest will be very loud. The republicans have been depending a great deal upon the inactivity of David B. Hill to aid them in carrying New York. Since he has become so active in the support of the Democratic ticket, the republicans can easily detrmine in which column to place the electoral vote of the Empire State The Republicans talk a great deal about the position the Democratic party takes in reference to the soldier. In reply to some of their remarks we would refer our friends to the record of Gen. Black, and then ask them to compare that to Baum,s record. It would not hurt our soldier friends to remember how Harrison rewarded them with the small post offices while he' gave the larger and better paying offices to politicians. The Grand Army of the Republic is not claimed to be a political organization, but at the recent encampment in Washington this week political badges were flourished by the thousands. If any scheming republicans sought to make it the occasion of boosting Harrison into special favor they failed, because nearly as many Cleveland as Harrison badges were noticeable on the coats of the old veterans. That little dnfcd up relio- of former bombast, Mahone, of Virginia, is resurrected for a time in Old Virginia. He is still boas of the republican machine and is conducting a still b»nt f hoping to catch the democrats napping, and capture the electoral vote. In order to keep the democrats quiet be advises no republican nominations for congress in the state. The democrats are fully alive to the importance of the campaign and will have out their full vote. Republicans were the first to discover that a public debt was a pub Me blessing. They also made the discovery that farm u*2 rt g a g eß are evidence of the prosperity pf the farmer. In consonance with this idea, they impose additional burdens upon the farmer by and through the McKinley tariff.. They evidently think it would be a calamity to the farmer to place him m a situation where he could make money to pay his mortgages, and have acted accordingly. From 1850 to 1860 the country enjoyed the advantages ot a low tariff—a tariff for revenueonly. During that period the wealth of the country increased one hundred and twenty-six per cent, and the capital invested in manufactures increased over ninety per cent. In that proportion a return of the country to a tariff basis would be ot benefit. That’s the democratic idea and hope and promise. Strikes for wages were a novelty in those days, and farm mortgages were scarce. — .1 More than anything else the word protection is used by the republican party to fool the wage earners into the belief that high tariff maintains high wages. Were this true entire contentment and universal prosperity would result. Unfortunately for the high tax jawsmiths the facts reveal an entirely different state of affairs. Since the McKinley law took effect there have been 473 strikes in this country against the reduction of wages. Not for higher wages, not for other reasons, but all to prevent t)ie reduction of wages. This is the record pf the practical effect of the McKinley law, ;n labor circles. How much more of Mc- . Kinleyism do the wage earners de-

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF ADAMS COUNTY. Republicans ot the Judas’seariot Make-Up InYour Midst, Be On Guard, And Observe Everything THAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN SIGHT OR YOUR POST OF DUTY. The campaign is on, and there will be but little attention paid to local politics. There will be comparatively little said in reference to the candidates of the Democracy of our county. The county, in a degree, will be lost sight of in the great National struggle. This will be a mistake on the part of the democrats at home. Democratic friends, you must remember that the Republicans of Adams county have no ticket in the field. That is, they have no Republican ticket. But they have a ticket composed partly of Republican candidates, whom they expect to elect by appealing to Democrats. When these candidates and their friends begin to appeal to good, old, staunch Democrats for support, they would do well by asking them to explain the principles they advocate, —if they advocate any. Ask them the nature of the platform upon which they are running. If they say anything about the State taxes, ask them the following questions: Who is Theodore Shockney, of Randolph county, candidate for Lieutenant-governor on the Republican ticket, and his part in the aforesaid tax law? What did Gov. Hovey say in bis message to the State Assembly, in reierence to the per. cent that should be levied? Who signed the bill before it could become a law? What principles do you advocate? In all of your questioning do not forget to ask them who THEY are going to support for President. This is not the year for Rip Van Winkles in the ranks of the Democratic party. You must remember that the republican party is a party of schemers. They can not work the “blocks of five” in the same way that Dudley did, but they intend to “work it" in some form or another if you will follow their directions. They Will draw off as many of you to the People’s party as they can. We have good reasons to believe that a part of the candidates of the People’s party in this county will vote for Harrison and high protection. Why did not these candidates refuse to run on the platform of the People’s party ticket if they do not believe in its principles? Office seems to be their liigbest aim. How can 1 the people of Adams county better 1 themselves? Never bad the Demo--1 crats of this county a more respect- ' able set of candidates in the field than now. They will be elected by a good, round majority without any doubt. But there is one thing that we as Democrats must not overlook. 1 The Republicans do not inteiid to 1 elect county officers. Their aim is to iicfeat Martin. They think that 1 it they can ftjr UP a contention among the County democrats then they can steal a march on the more important part of the ticket. 1 here is but one thing for Democrats to dp this campaign, and that is, to remember the sentiment of the following and vote the principles so positively expressed: “We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic par|y that the federal government has no constitutional power £o impose and collect tariff duties ex: ept for the purposes of revenue only, and we demand that the uqllecfion t>| such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and eco nomically administered.” S- = The Republican party was in power at the close of the war, so was Jeff. Davis, the president of the so-cilled Southern Confederacy placed in their hands for punishment. But did they think of such a thing? They well knew that he was the father of the Republican party that by and through his acts the party came into power. Further that by the same acts, each and every man of the Republican party enjoyed tHe special position that he then held. Jt was the acts-of such men that caused the rebellion, and the rebellion gave to men post, tions that would have remained obscure all their lives. Such are the class of men who dictate the government we live under. While a part of them are men of honor and integrity, a part of them are men who should be wearing stripes and doing service for the state from which they came. Men who are guilty of larceny, perjury and mur- ( der, but by the grace of a Republi- j can administration tlfey fill offices c trust and profit, *

REPUBLICAN INJUSTICE AND president HARRISONS FA LSE PROMISES TO THE SOLDIERS. Whv Every Soldier Should Vote For Cleveland and Down McKinley protection if They Wlnh tor Arrears of Pension And A Service Pension. The Republican party have always posed as the soldier’s friend, and President Harrison as their special champion. Let us examine their respective titles. The Republican party paid the soldier in greenbacks and.the bondholder in gold. One was paid wages and bounty less then half that was promised. The bondholder was paid the last farthing nominated in the bond. They refused common justice to men who needed it, and accorded it to those who did not need it, and by so doing showed their greater friendship for the bondholder. A democratic congress and a dem> ocratio president gave the soldiers ot the. Mexican war 160 acres of land without conditions. A republican congress and a republican president refused this to the soldiers of 1861-5, except upon conditions that but few could epmply with. Another act of injustice. The republican party gave arrears of pensions to a portion of the soldiers. Another portion were refused. Another act of rank injustice. Mr. Harrison, before his election, declared that his gifts to the soldiers should not be measured in apothecary doses. How untruthful he was to this promise may be fairly illustrated in What he did right here in Decatur. There were three good soldiers applicants for the postoffice. None of them were good enough for the. position. Only a political hustler was good enough. What he did here was done all over the country. The political hustler was rewarded, and the old soldiers ignominiously relegated to the rear by the jol lier’s friend Benjamin Harrison. Mr. Cleveland gave these offices to the soldiers. Some day every old soldier expects to have a bill passed by congress giving arrears bf pension to those who did not get arrears. They also expect some day the passage of a service pension bill. The prediction is now here made, that neither are possible so long as the McKinley law stands. The old tariff law averaged about 48 per cent and produced more revenue than the McKinley tariff with an average of about 90 per cent, because of the prohibitive features of the new law. Under the old law during Mr. Cleveland’s administration a large sum of outstanding bonds were re deemed and a large surplus of about 1100,000,000 left. Under the new law, that surplus has disappeared, and few bonds are being redeemed. Current revenues barely sufficient to meet current expenses. Cut the tariff down to a revenue' basjg; and the surplus would again accumulate in th® treasury and it would be possible to give tbe old soldier arrears of pension and a service pension, and the money would be on hand to pay the expense of both measures, The last platform of the Repub lican party declares for protection for protection’s sake. It is with them tbe supreme consideration and jpake arrears of pension or a service pension impossible. - ... ijj Over against the list of increased mortgages on farms in rich and fertile Illinois, a Chicago journal publishes a list of the 840 millionaires resident in the state. And this is bit an example of tbe conditions in other states. During the years that this aggregation of wealth on tbe one hand and these recorded losses on the other hand have been in progress, the political party in power has legislated, avowedly and professedly, with an .eye single to the benefit of the agriculturist and tbe laborer! And the same party is petting the producer in the same old way, for campaign purposes, and the perpetual wonderment la that so many sit, blindfolded, believing that they are being aided when results show that they are being robbed every year of their lives and every day rn the year—robbed through legislation maintained by the ballot. The Republican* must be working up some underhanded game or they would not ask for federal supervisors. Now let Democrats be on the alert and atand them .off with equal aulborftjr;

If the foreigner pays the tariff tax on goods imported, what fools the American people have been all these years. Make tbe tariff equal to 100 per cent, then all that our people would have to do would be to sit on the sand of the seashore and wait for the big ships to bring us tbe goods. There would be nothing to do, but collect the tariff tax and take the goods. For every dollars worth of goods, we would have a dollar in cash and the goods for nothing. On these terms the American people would be fools to manufacture for themselves. The reader can apply tbe logic and reason of this idea to suit the occasion. It is in line with every argument that Republicans use in defense of tbe McKinley robbery. The arguments that tbe Republicans use in defense of the McKinley bill are nothing but bundles of contradictions. The protectionists tell tbe laborer that bis expenses have decreased, that is, bis bread, meat and clothing are cheaper. On the other hand they tell the farmer that the price of his farm produce is kept, or in other words,, .he gets more for what he raises than he would if he were to sell under a revenue tariff. Just how the tariff can raise the prices of corn, wheat and potatoes for the farmer and cheapen the articles of food tor the laborer, is what we cannot understand,. There is another feature of protection that is very peculiar. We cannot^ see why it is that if protection increases wages and at the same time decreases the prices of manufactured goods. We say'that we do not see why it is that the manufacturer is in favor of the prices of his goods lowered, and at the same time have the cost of production increased. If we understand the tariff, it increases the cost of manufactured goods, and is levied for that purpose in order to enable the infant industries to pay better wages. This being the case the tariff is a tax, and nothing felse. For the Republicans to acknowledge that the tariff is a tax, would be to writing the word defeat right on their banner in such brilliant letters that the blindest of voters could read with perfect ease.
