Wneat at sixty-eight cent« a bushel is a tariff blessing in disguise to our farmer, is tbe Republican idea. Gresham, MeVeagb, Cooly, and Baldwin, for Cleveland. Only' a Corporal’s guard left of tbe Republic party. Since the pilgrimage of Governor Gray to Gray Gables the political prophet says the Indianian will be in Cleveland's cabinet. Such a selection would be wise. The Gov. Would be an able counsellor of a great President. A good combination, beside being an excellent political move. Hoosiers admire Gray •ad will work harder in consequence " ff thia jwbable arrangement

It is a desperate game Mr. Harrison’s iflanagers attempted in this state but failed to carry out. Even the Republican Supreme court of this state would not base itself by nullifying the law which made the free and secret ballot the bulwark of the people’s power. “Uv ooorse” the talk at the Court house last Friday „night, from a grammatical standpoint, was simply great. The yawn, and stretch, and sleepy appearance of the religious weekly man when called upon to “say something,” must have been very gratifying to the audiene, not saying anything about the man who would like to be Secretary of state. The Republicans of this State did not dare to say in their platform that they would repeal the tax law, if they were placed in power. Their organs are doing everything they can to make voters believe that it is the law that is wrong instead of the one that made the assessment lhe party did not dare to say they would repeal it. They were afraid of the consequences. The British Parliament will be called upon at its next session to pass upon the question of a tariff on American wheat. The Chicago Herald says tbe tariff will be twenty cents a bushel as the bill now stands. About sixty-eight per cent of the wheat used in Europe comes from the United States. It may be a retalitory measure, be that as it may, the farmer of this country will be the one to suffer from such a measure. Would it not be in order to suggest to the editor of the religious weekly that he migrate to a more grammatical neighborhood, if the speeches of the men thst addressed the intelligent audience at the Court house two weeks ago are not up to his standard. The only difference between the editor of the religious weekly and the man who was President of the United States two terms, is that the President knew that he couldn’t make a speech, and kept still, and the editor who don’t know anything and can’t keep still. We were greatly surprised to see the following appear in the Indianapolis Journal, of last Sunday: Decatur, Ind., October B.—Last night Hon. Aaron Jones, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, spoke to an enthusiastic audience at the court house in this city. His address treated of tbe tax law and the Bourbon methods of running the State. Great interest is being taken in politics this year by tbe Adams county Republicans, and they expect to reduce the Democratic majority in the county. The above says that great interest is being taken in politics hy the Adams county Republicans this year. It has been our impression since our Republican friends failed to put a ticket in the field that there is no Republican organization in Adams county. By reading tbe above quotation we learn that there is a Republican organization or a party of Republicans who arc taking great interests in our County affairs. We wonder under whose flag they sail? Jf they are standing on a platform, we wonder who furnished the plank with which to build tbe structure? If there is such a thing as a Republican organization in Adams county, who are their candidates? It seems from the paper just qnoted, that the interests of the People’s party and that of the Republican party are identical. It also seems from the surrounding condition of things, that if the Republicans of Adams county were to frame a platform that the word “ofljee” would be the only word necessary to pluck from the tongue of the King’s English. From the reading of the forego ' ing article the ear marks are plainly visible. They are like the remarks i of the Wabash Plain Dealer, of - August 15, 1890, in which among , other things, Mr. Ashcraft said: i “The Democratic Vote There, Is • To Some Extent, Deplorably Ig- ■ nobant.” The same one seems to ' be again getting loose, and therefore i we will not make any charge advising the parly to “ring” the peeler.

THE PECK STATISTICS. Republicans are using the Peck statistics to prove that there has been more money paid out for labor in 1892, than m 1891. These statistics are compiled from -the statements of protected manufactures, who at best are interested witnesses. These manufacturers claim an increase of wages, hut the sum of the increase is not given, neither the particular industries where the increas appears. From natural causes alone, since the first settlement of the State, there has been from year to year a larger amount paid out for wages, consequent upon natural growths If all that Mr. Peck claims be true, it does not prove what Republicans claim, that the McKinley bill increased wages in the State of New York. Let us examine the claim fairly and we will be better able to pass a correct judgment upon tbe claim. The old tariff averaged about 48 per cent; the McKinley tariff about 90 per cent, an increase of 42 per cent., consequently, if this increase was solely lor the benefit of labor, there ought to be an increase of wages of 42 per cent If wages have increased but a small fraction of this sum, it shows that the tariff has not benefited labor at all, for the increase in wages is more than counterbalanced by the enhanced price of tbe 2,500 articles embraced in the tariff skedule, a large portion of which the laborer is compelled to purchase from time to time. So that even, if Peck’s statistics are true, that there is an apparent increase of wages, examined in the light of the above, there would be an actual in wages, which proves the democratic position, that the tariff isnriches tbe manufacturer, and never has benefited labor. The best evidence that wages "have been increased would be the testimony of the laborers themselves. Since the McKinley law went into effect there has been an average of one strike a day, all for higher wages, not one of which was successful, some of them being denied by protected manufacturers at the muzzle of Winchester rifles in the bands of Pinkertons. One thing is certain. Mr. Peck will fail to convince these laborers whose wages have not been increased, and those whose wages have been decreased, that the McKinley tariff has raised their wages, though Mr. Peck has affirmed the proposition. If the laborers in the protected industries could be gathered together, and a show of hands be secured, not one in one hundred would affirm Mr. Peck’s statistics. In proof of the correctness of our position above, the following illustration is cited. A prominent Republican used this argument upon our streets. “Why of course the tariff helps the farmer. I remember when eggs brought five and six cents per dozen. They now bring from 15 to 30 cents per dozen. The tariff is the cause of it” Assuming, for the sake of the argument, that this be true, then there ought to be an increase of wages in proportion to increase of tariff, in order that the increased expense of tbe laborer under the McKinley law may be equalized. Applying this illustration to the 2,500 articles effected by this law and the force of the position assumed m this article becomes apparent It hardly seems necessary for the editor or the orator, advocating tariff taxation, to tell the agriculturist and the common laborer what protection “will do” for them. We have had nearly thirty years’ experiment with it, and tbe producing masses of the country ought to know, for themselves, what it has done and is doing. It has poured the wealth of the country into a few special channels and given unwarranted power to bedeficiaries. It has created a select set of million aires and an army of tramps. Since its last achievement —the McKinley law—there have been over 500 labor strikes in protected industries. If nature were not provident to the farmer in this land of favored soil and climate, he would be m narrow straits indeed. As it is, with all natural conditions in his favor, he is burdened with mortgage and debt, and struggling continually against adverse fate, without understanding how it is that his burdens increase instead of diminish, No need of the high-taxers to explain what benefits are sure to come, in the future; let the thoughtful ones review the past and see what government favoritism, dscrimination and party sale of privileges has brought for them, 3 ...

— DEMOCRACY. A rook of eternal strength, a rock of gramte firmness and integrity. A principle of human existence, a quality of human purpose. At the base of this rock liberty has often taken refuge and here human rights have been defended. Behind this fortfesa, Divinely ordained and flshioned, the forces of progress have rallied and broad-minded and broad-purposed civilization has advanced. Whenever a stand for liberty has been taken, by whatever people and in whatever clime, the sun of Democracy has brightly shone upon patriots whose example has cheered other hosts, in other lands. Democracy resisted kingly oppression and made the American colonies a Republic. The spirit of Democracy of the Eighteenth century made the Nineteenths century of Democratic Independence, of individual thought, and engrafted individual rights upon tbe written and unwritten Constitutions of the nations of former autocracy. Not an empire, kingdom or principality that has not modified its authority over subjects the past fifty years. It is Democracy working steadily upon mind and matter. The spirit ol the American Forefathers is upon this country and is impressed with influence and power upon that political party called Democrat The patriotism of Jefferson is profoundly impressed upon the party he found e£>nd the unwavering belief in the people which was characteristic of Jackson is a cardinal virtue of the party of Jefferson and Jackson. He who has his political faith pinned to the principles of Democracy is strong in self, and is a living link in tbe chain of liberty which binds the past with the present and which makes tbe future of the country hopeful and promising. The landmarks of this party are an heirloom to pass from generation to generation in perpetuity. The fundamental principle is the absolute belief in self government. One man, if he be morally worthy, is as good as another, in the political home where Democracy has being—in the party where Democracy is perennial. The rig bt of individual sovereignty is a gift from Divinity to man, and in a Republic of integrity can never he delegated to a centralized power. The command <to earn bread by the sweat of the brow involves the ownership of that substance which work supplies. The government of individuals may tax the individual for collective support, but not for the bestowal of discriminating favor. The right of self government, and the possession of individual property honestly earned are tbe plans of Democracy upon which the American Democratic party has erected its tabernacle of hope. The principles of liberty and progress have refuge here, and to all the world the promise of individual sovereignty is like a benediction of peace and grace in the race of human individuality. A party thus entrenched can never be dislodged, can never be destroyed. This is why the Democratic party has survived all antagonisms, and has preserved its entity while opposition . has waged and warred, waxed and waned and passed into history. For this old party of ours the saints of Democracy grew gray in earthly service and have their reward. To this old party the fathers who link the present active generation with past vigor and glory are faithful soldiers yet. To this old party belongs the manly strength of this active, inventive, progressive, business generation. To this old-new, this everlasting, party, young men are swearing allegiance to-day. It reverses its past, it is proud of its present, it is hopeful and certain of its future. It is the party of tbe people, the home of patriots, the refuge of the oppressed. This is the party of Jefferson, this is the party of Jackson, this is the party of Cleveland. This is the party which invites your support this year, the party which urges you to fall in for active service, for alignment upon the file leader of Democracy, of liberty, of freemdom, of individual sovereignty, of individual rights. This is Democracy. is one thing noticeable in the political situation of Adams county. There is a coldness on the part of some of the would-be leaders of the Republican party. It all originated in a Convention that was held amne time ago for the purpose of nominating a County ticket, or to determine the course the Bepubli- - '■ -

cans of this County shall take in reference to local politics. After the Convention had convened,- the old saying that “great minds will differ,” was verified by the conduct of those present. After the question had been raised as to whether the party should pursue its old course and fight the battle along the line of “protection for protection’s sake,” or fly the track temporary and attack the enemy under a free trade banner. One member of the Convention insisted on nominating a full county ticket and coming out boldly and fight the hopeless battle on a principle for the sake of being in the right. He was a bright light and shone brilliantly for a while, but was doomed to be “put under a bushel” by the majority as he was painfully in the minority and could not shine brilliantly enough to illuminate the opaque masses of buckwheat batter, that were encased by the thick skulls that were intended to protect the certer of nervous energy, lhe Majority of tbe Convention decided to eradicate principle root and branch from the politics of the County, at least, saying that if they can not maintain principle, it may be that policy will flourish and bring forth fruit in abundance. So they ignored the Convention which said; “We reaffirm tbe American doctrine of protection. We call attention to its growth abroad. We maintain that the prorperons condition of our country is largely due to the wise revenue legislation of the Republican Congress,” Ac. After setting aside the above they practically considered the fallowing as one of their principles in as much as they have concluded to support a ticket that considers it as one of its heief principles. “Wealth belongs to him who creiftes it, and every dollar taken from it without equiva lent is robbery.” Thus it can be plainly Been that on the National ticket the Republican* of Adams county are fighting on the theory of protection, while in the County they drop this principle and are fighting with free trade as their principle, or else they are going pell mell through the campaign without any principle at all all. The Republican party is nothing but a bundle of contradictions and inconsistencies and this can be plainly seen by their position in this county. They are supporting both high tariff and free trqde. Is it any ponder that their editor is so quiet about the move his party made to support the people’s ticket. No doubt but he thinks his party would have done better if the party had even adapted some good gramatioal grincinciplee as a platform as grammar seems indispensable in the campaign this year, according to the religious weekly. KepuDiican Justice. Chief Justice Stowe, of Pennsylvania, charged the grand jury that are to investigate the “Homestead” riot, among other things, says: “We can have sympathy for a mob driven to desperation by hunger, as in the days of French Revolution, but can have none for men receiving exceptionally high wages.” Such acts as the order of the Chief. Justice in this case, is what causes riot and bloodshed. His address to the jury is such that instructs tbe jury to find a verdict for treason against the Advisory Committee of the Amalgamated association of Homestead. The capitalist and officers of the State of Pennsylvania have joined hands in the determination to break up organized labor. The act of Carnegie and Company bringing murderers into the State for the purpose of killing citizens of the State is scarcely thought of by the officers, the only thing they can see is in the laborer. When a Court can get so low as the Chief Justice has in this case, wherein he says the men were all paid exceptionally high wages, he disgraces tbe high position he fills, and all for political purposes. Wage-earners that are paid less than one dollar a day and those who are paid one dollar and ten cents a day, get “especially high wages” for a laborer, says the Chief Justice. According to a remark to be found in last week’s is*uo of lhe religious weekly, a man who is not well informed in leference to the principles and usages of tbe English grammar, should not attempt to express himself on the political issues of the day. Only those orators, who are able to decorate their language with rhetorical figures of speech, encircle their sentences with halos of eloquence, and finally be enabled to appear before a public gathering with as much ease and grace as a Demosthenes or a Cicero; only such men as these in the opinion of our critic over the alley, should attempt to express their opinions on tbe current events of the day. This exceedingly important personage above referred to should remember that a man with horse sense can easily see through the falacies of tbe Republican party and whether mir farmers can express themselves according to the rules of grammar or not, they will express themselves at the polls this fall in a manner that the grammar of the language will not be doubted. At the polls our farmer friends will be as eloquent as the silver-tongued orators that have been renowned for their eloquence, i . Si.r- 1 V-’*
