Will the Republicans of the county vote the third, party because a few of the bosses say they can’t have a ticket of theif own. Carnegie makes his millions every year in the United States because of the robber tariff, but he says be lives in Scotland because everything in a Free Trade country that one , • consumes is so much cheaper, The little beast just reverses iu his own life the policy which he enforces Upon his American fellow-citizens. He makes them sell in the cheapest market and buy in ihe dearest, while he himself sells in the dearest marJut *od buys in the cheapest. . - 3 .

The Democrat will make this gilt edged prediction lor Indiana and New York in favor of Cleveland and Stevenson: Indiana, 6,000. New York, ... - 60,000. Cash wheat sold in the Chicago market Friday at 72| cents. Four years ago Wednesday cash wheat sold in the Chicago market ot 11.15. This is how the McKinley law protects the Indiana farmer. Cash wheat sold in the Chicago market Saturday at cents. Four years ago Saturday cash wheat sold in the Chicago market at $1.13 and $1.14 This is how the McKinley law protects the Indiana farmer. The election commissioners estimate that 541,000 votes will be cast in Indiana next month. This is a good basis for figuring. If you guess nearest the plurality the Indianapolis Sentinel will give you SSO in gold. It seems to be the intention of a few of the wauld-b leaders of the Republican party in this county to corral the balance of the party and teach them how to vote a mixed ticket. Men of great grammatical ideas will teach those that General Clarkson spoke of how to vote and become readers. the County Candidates on the Democratic ticket report that the county meetings being held are well attended, and that the interest in the coming election is deep and earnest. Scores of Republicans have arnounced their intention to vote for Cleveland and the straight Democratic ticket on the ground that they cannot stand Protection Robbery and the Force Bill. The Republican meeting in the city of Monmouth, last Saturday night, was very enthusiastic. ' This could not be otherwise, when such brilliant stars of republicanism as shone on that, night is taken into consideration. Brother Quinn, of the inside, your scalp is already dangling to the belts of the honorables Andrews and Schroeder from this time on. But rather than have all this squabbling, will allow some good democrat to manage that job after the 4th of March, next. Mrs. Lease who has been traveling with General Weaver, the third party candidate for President, has come out for Harrison, and advised Weaver to do likewise. She could not bear to deceive the people any longer, her conscience smote her, or she thought the time had come ! when they could deliver the goods they had bargained to the Republican party. Whether Democrats will be transferred that way the election in November will tell. The scheme is no longer a secrei, but an out and out trade. While we are protecting our selves against the competition of the sheep growers of Europe, the number of sheep, in Europe has de creased 16 per cent., according to recent calculation by Consul-Gen,; eral Bourn, of Rome. If the number of sheep and price of wool in this country had correspondingly increased, there might be a chance for some political argument in the situation. But a like decrease and decline is manifest here, and ‘ the only argument is for one of noL--interference, as the'efforts to boost, tear down or build up show only s disastrous results. e r- . t Our Republican friends have y about given up the claim F asserted all along, that the tariff went to the laboring ma ’. They have concluded that owning the y laborer they can vote him as they e did the negro in, days past and gone, e They will compel them to do their g bidding or do as Carnegie and Co. e did at Homestead, shoot them down', e The “battle cry” with them is “pron section to American industry,” but place protected iA where they get their boodle, r J'j)p more proit tection, boodle they pap e fry from the pets that are protected, r- and which robs the laborer >nd the farmer. fl .

The Farmers of this county are paying two dlloars a thousand on each thousand feet of lumber they buy and the lumber king of Michigan and other states have got a tariff of that kind for their own protection. They pocket the two dollars a thousand and let their hands take care of themselves. When the Republican campaign comes on they can contribute boodle in large amounts to help keep the tariff up. While their hands receive the same or lower wages than they did before the law was made. There is no one in the Union who would lament Harrison’s defeat more than bis relatives. He has taken care of them in a masterly way. He has placed many of them in fat offices, which pay salaries ranging from $3,600 to SB,OOO Fourteen of the highest saleried officers reap a harvest of $145,000. This added to Mr. Harrison’s salary amounts to #345,000. Is it any wonder that his relatives coincide with Mr. Harrison in bis tariff views. But 10, the disappointed politicians, where are they.

It has been said that the sighing parson, better known as Governor Chase, in one of his speeches of late, gave his hearers to understand that he almost felt like “cussing.” This all happened betore the coming election. It is quite likely that after the votes have been cast and counted that a few more of the religious fighters of the Republican faith will give cause at which their admirers may take alarm. The religious weekly of course will retain its equahbrium and will stick close to its grammar and religious convictions. Hon. John L. Farrar, of Peru, has joined his fortunes with the robber party. He is the man who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress from this district at the tirfie Major Kidd was nominated. John L. has been sore ever since, and on failure to be nominated by the Democratic party has concluded to hunt other pasture, where he can probably secure a nomination with the boodle that he told our people about when he was a candidate for the congressional nomination. The Wabash Plain Dealer is devoting all its space to the speeches and sayings ot this convert. Angrew Carnegie, the greatest living (or dead) example of what government protection can do for a man, has been saying in England that “free trade is England’s best policy; protection would be ruinous.” This rather takes the wind out of the sails set to prove that “free trade ruins any country, look at wrecked and ruined England!” Mr. Carnegie s'ays, a new country, like the United States, needs to protect its industries, especially its iron and steel. But other apostles of protection set forth how our machinery and other manufactures are able to drive England out of the world’s market because we can un-| dersell them. And yet, when we can compete with England with her cheap raw material and “pauper labor,” even in her own market, we .still need to put fin a tax on home buyers to protect the manufacturer. According to every showing the manufacturer, like Mr. Carnegie, is pretty well fixed. In no instance has any protection qrator or editor attempted to explain why wages are higher in free trade England than in protected France and Germany. Such comparisons would possess the element of fairness. These countries are all monarchial in form ot government, the laud is all appropriated, population _js congested, royalty and caste dominate social and business conditions and the military arm of the machinery grinds the lite out of the laboring element, more or less, in them all; - With all the resources of our country, its vast extent, its favored cliipate and soil, its industrious and inventive people, Rs representative form of government,. : where every man is a sovereign, it is our disgrace that there is any room for debate as to comparative condition of the workers in A’m*rica aud the peasants of the old world. We have no right with tramps ami paupers to pit against their overplus of ! poor and destitute. If ttie debate I proves anything at all, it proves to I our disgrace, that the producers of I ti>e wealth of this country are getting bpt a meager pittance for their fbweofjt,

A POPULISTS FIJW The (Presidential Situation as It Appears to Him Now. It is now pretty generally believed that- the Republican leaders are aiding certain speakers in the people’s party in the southern counties of the state to make their campaign in democratic townships in order to draw voters from the democratic ticket They are doing this in such away as to hold the republicans to their party and to turn alliance democrats to the people’s party. The republican leaders are also making a great naighborhood campaign, seeking to gain one vote at each voting place, and to keep at least one -democrat away from the polls on election day. Now, as it is absolutely certain that either Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Harrison will be elected and it is equally certain that the people’s party can hope for no relief from the Republican party there is but one wise thing for the voters in that party to do, and that is for them to vote the democratic ticket and thus defeat the party that has enacted the evil legislation against which they are protesting. This is not the year to trifle with our ballots. Once under the Republican Force Bill and all reforms-will be made impossible through the ballot. I surrender no principle, but will not so vote as to make reform impossible, and should I vote for Weaver I should do that very thing for he cannot be elected, and a vote tor him is a half vote for Harrison and the party that has bankrupted the country. Pur Republican friends that put up the banner across the street failed to put on “protection to American Labor,” but instead they say to “American Industries.” The laborer is passed by. But, like Blaine, when he says the farmer deserves to be taxi’d for the benefit of the manufacturer. But when in a free trade mood, and fishing for the Presidential nomination, he says the tariff as it now stands does not provide a market for a “single barrel of pork or a bushel of wheat.” Politics with such men, has but one aim, and their religion is anything to catch a vote. A speech for every locality; one for the farmer in the West, and one for the mechanic in the East. Free trade for one section of this country and a high tariff for another, but nothing for the laborer, not even an inscription on the banner. The attempt of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to confine the work of the grand juiy of Allegheny county to the indictment of certain employes of the Homestead mills for treason, failed./ The grand jury obeyed his instructions, infamous as they were, and returned the indictment for treason, but they also showed their contempt for this superserviceable Plutocrat on the bench by finding indictments against Frick and his gang of paid assassins, the Pinkertons, upon the testimony of the very men they had just indicted for treason at the command of the Judge. The people are not ready to be bulldozed by a perfidious Bench. They have filed notice in this proceeding that if the men at Homestead have been guilty of treason, Frick and his tools are guilty of murder. The spirit of American freemen has not yet been crushed, even in Pennsylvania. If Congress, at its next session, would investigate the wholesale robbery committed by the four attorneys who were eptrusted with a million dollars voted by congress to the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians for their lands, it would save a nations dishonor. Capt. Lee, of the army, through the report of Gen. Miles to the Secretary of War, charges that the contract for the rebent purchase of the lands was “tainted with fraud and bribery from its incipienoy to its final consnmation.” Capt. Lee, acting under order, made a thorough investigatioie/if the matter before he enterMl s charge in the report and says he is ready to stand by and prove the truth of it. Secretary Noble, of the Interior, who was familliar with the contract, when informed of the report, made yery cutting reply that ffpjl Blatter was no concern of the W depart ment and it (the war department) would do well to attend to its own business.” Honest persons who do not understand the “legal process,” wonder Why four grttornefs llfit* 750 apiece, are neuessary to go between the “wards of the nation” and their guardian, Uncle Sam, in the matter of slrtfple sale and purchase? In the meantime, how will Secretary Noble meet the charge ot “fraud and bribery;” the contract "ipade with his knowledge and su-pej-yisipn?

vs. "REP." Editor Democrat:—Allow me a small space in your paper to reply to the scurrilous articles that appeared in last week’s Journal. 1 would not condescend to notice the same were it not that ho (Mr. Ashcraft) has unbelted himself so much as to give me two spaces in his paper in order to give vent to his feelings. The unjust attack which he made upon me is only another evidence of the baseness which is so characteristic in the productions of that diseased and weak instinct of his which he chooses to call tniud and reason. Ot all the editors that lived in the state of Indr ana, who have aided in polluting and debasing the art of journalism, the above referred to editor is the most conspicuous, considering the narrow circle in which he moyes. The rough and unmanly language used in his assault is none other than the relic of barbarism which is continually manifesting itself in all of his literary attempts. 1 often read the Journal and am sorry to find such base language, which, if seen by either of the editors of the Police News or Police Gazette, it would surely bring the blush of shame to their faces. There is one thing that I wish- to say to the public, and that is, I acted in good faith in distributing the documents which w’ere carefully prepared by Mrs. Hellen M. Gotigar, one of the members of the National Executive Committee of the Prohibition party. It is a prohibition document, and is in nowise aiding Democracy, ft does attack the Republican party i:i a “land office” style, but that is all their own fault. They have thrown themselves wide open by their hypocracy. They have attempted to carry water on both shoulders. Every one knows where Democracy stands, but the Republican party is the “God and Morality party” to the unsuspecting Christian, and to the rest of humanity it is anything or nothing in order to win their votes. This is why the/ have been so vigorously attacked by Mrs. Gougar. 1 must say that his statement in reference to my working m the interest of Democracy is false, and the accusation results from a diseased and a debauched mind. When the boy first came to Decatur I thought his soft and spasmotic movements of the pen were the results of youth and inexperience, but age does not seem to improve him very much. To show the people that the gentleman is not rational, we would refer them to the mode in which he advertisehis business. He tells the public that his business is increasing at such an alarming rate, that he is compelled to sell his house and lot to support it. We wish this “young upstart” success in life. We hope that his business will continue to flourish, but hope that its “increasing” volume, and its insatiable appetite will never require the sale of his household goods in connection with his house and lot. Aud should this come to pass, bis only recourse would be to see the second-hand man, Mr. Porter. But, What care I for what he has scurrilously penned. He talks to a mul’iii'de of "Reps,” While f, my prohibition will defend. L. Hart. Judge Gresham, Wayne McVeagh, Carl Scburtz and Hugh McCollough are four ex-Repubhcan candidate officers who are now supporting Grover Cleveland. Schurtg and McVeagh were in Hayes’ cabinet, McCollough served under three presidents, Lincoln Johnson- and Arthur. Gresham served under Arthur, first as pos master-general, then secretary of the treasury. All these former prominent RepqbHcuna have joined tho Democratic party on account of the tariff policy of the Republican party. They see in the McKinley tariff a dangerous club in the hands of plutocracy. When such men as Gresham leave the Republican party, it means something. There are 1,000 who have left the high tariff party, whose names have not been hurled to the world because 1 they are not of national reputation. But their votes next November will effect the result largely to the disadvantage of the Republican party. In this state four prominent men are now stumping for Cleveland, who four years ago made speeches for HarrisonJ John Overmyer, of Jennings county, who in 1882, w-y; iiMipiwn ot the Republican Sialo O' mmttlei; D. P. Baldwin, of L igansport, who was elected attorney general by the Republicans in 1880; William Q, Fo.ulke, a leader vs dig Ropubliod" .< in the senate of IBeii and JAfia; exGeneral Williamson, of Green Castle, wgru all on the stump forlisrnson in this and other stati-iL four years ago, Thia year ib«>v have lilted ui their voiceein behalf of Grover Ch veland because the McKinly tariff has driven them out of the party in jrhioh they have been reared
