Office In Democrat Building, east aldo of Second Street—ground floor PROTECTION FOR TRADE. Western and Southern staple producers never needed a tariff for revenue more than now. A tariff for revenue is equivalent to a reduced cost of transportation both ways. Every farmer knows what reduced transportation charges do for the movement of crops and the purchase of goods. Farm debts never pressed more heavily and farm profits were never more unsatisfactory. Wheat prices drag. Cotton is no better, and the big packing houses have claimed that they must cut down expenses. Thes are the three great sources of our export trade. . For 70 years tfel tariff question has been the same—-hOW much the staple producers should be charged for the support of government and the maintenance of certain lines of manufacture. Not only how much actual money they should pay, but how much restriction of trade they could stand. Radical additions to taxation have been made without notice to the staple producers. The imposition of new burdens in 1883 and 1890 was made when all the pledges out were for reduction. In spite of that habitual treatment the agricultural States do not ask for an immediate blotting out of all protection. Their expectation is that a Democratic Ways and Means Committee will present a bill whose guiding purpose will be the encouragement of trade and production. The raising of revenue necessitates some protection as long as we have a tariff of any kind. We can stand that much protection, and not a great deal more. It has always been the case heretofore, when a tariff bill is in course of preparation, that the country hears a great deal about the effect on .the protected industries. This time we have a right to hear less about that and more about cheap transportation and the encouraging effect on export industries. When the Ways and Means Committee in its experiments gets to a bill for the merchants, farmers school teachers, preachers, lawyers, carpenters, masons and blacksmiths it can stop right there. That bill will be good enough. Tub constitutionality of the Superior Judge salary law will be argued before the Supreme Court to-day. The law was passed by the last legislature, and empowers County Commissioners to regulate the salaries of the Superior Judges. There are but three weeks left in which to visit the Fair. It is a great educator and everybody who can afford it should make it a point to go. Yet, in the interest of local trade, it is to be hoped that there will never be anything so alluring as near to Decatur, for there is not the least doubt that such an attraction as the World’s Fair drains enormous sums of money from communities as near to it as Decatur is ' to as a whole has not distressed this year as compared with last year; indeed, there has bean an aggregate increase, due to the fact that this city is growing with such gigantic strides. IL*L II ■ What good hsa the Democratic I majorities in both Houses of Congress accomplished for Democracy. It was Republican votes that passed the Wilson bill in the House; it will be Republican votes that will pass the Voorhees repeal bill .in the Senate, if it should pass. Whjii, is gained by a Democratic majority in Congress if one-half of the Democrats votes aided by Republican votes, can humiliate and defeat the other Democratic half? The people elected a Democratic majority in both Houses wilblhe understanding that Democratic polioies would be determined and applied to the administration of government by Democrats. It certainly was farthest from their-thought that in any circumstances the Republican side of both Houses would be called upon to define and promulgate Democratic policies.

REST DAY REFLECTIONS. A country like ours is not to be measured by those who have gone before and achieved theirs places in the world. In every aspect of its life America is pre-emincntlyunique. Its discovery was a at time when the elements of European lands were ready for a second civilization. The Middle and the Dark Ages which succeeded the fall of Roman art and literature still held entomed within their husks the seeds of enlightenment. Out of this chaos of social, religious and political conditions Columbus came supported in his aspirations by the monarchs of Spain. He found here this broad expanse almost limitless to those resources which are congenial to moral as well as material strength. The best elements of other lands came in response of to the promise that discover was continually making. Everything invited those who were in search of better things than their native countries afforded ■ —fortune, fame and, freedom. Colonial history shows that , the * best blood and brain of the old lands accepted the invitation which liberty held out to the oppressed, and cime with their chatties and their household goods to erect new homes and new altars of faith under better auspices than they had known before. Here were the Pilgrims and the Huguenots, the Hollanders, and the Swedes. England, which had become the strongest of all the old countries in wealth and population and in ideas of human rights, sent the largest colony. We are here as the descendants of this admixture of European intelligence and character. The basis of the new American race is as broad as the universe and combines the advantages of native intellectual and moral attributes. Having the elements of success in governmental affairs and strongly imbued with the spirit of religious and political freedom our country has progressed on the pathway of civilization with rapid strides, leaving behind older and more historic lands, which have not, however, enjoyed the benefits of liberty that have been the causes of our more rapid development. The first century of the existence of this republic establishes a new and unprecedented epoch. The experiment of free institutions has proven a success, and with the advance that has been made during the first cycle of our national life it will be difficult to foretell what the future may not contain. The mechanic arts seem to have reached perfection, and material convinces and aids to comfort and health are now available even to those of limited resources. Schools and churches, those twin agencies of intellectual and moral advancement, open their doors to the rich and poor alike. Education even in its widest sense is attainable by the children of the poorest classes, and the history of the country shows that it has been the humblest walks of life, and not to the palaces of the people have looked for those upon ■whom to bestow their confidence and the highest official honors. The social standards are not so exclusive that men and women of education, no matter what their antecedents, may not gain admission to the best circles. The learned professions offer fields for distinction which every „one may enter unchallenged, while in commercial pursuits the opportunities are varied and attractive, enterprise and integrity being the warrants of certain success. Immence wealth, the ability to live lavishly, the pride of pomp and splendor, are not the only signs that life has not been lived in vain. A number of prominent protestant ministers of the gospel of Columbus, Ohio, have issued a manifesto in opposition to the anti-Catholic crusade, introduced by the A. I’. A. society of that city. While these gentlemen do not coincide with the doctrines of the Catholic church, they disapprove of the unchristian warfare waged against that church. The attention of our City Fathers is again called to the fact that the uncompleted portion of the street which,leads south on the Mud Pike, and just across the Clover Leaf Rail Road, still jineotfipleb-d, There is no need of deferring matters so important as this, and it is hoped that at the next- session of. the Council a full quorum will be ■on deck, and this matter disposed of •t satisfactorily and at once.

Any More Not Heard From! Nearly <1250 was ordered paid by the last session of the commissioners for printing to parties outside of the county. Perhaps the commissioners have forgotten that there aoe printing offices in DeKalb county. They will probably find out one of these days.—Butler Review. Suppose the commissioners and 'other county officers of DeKalb county had announced to the people before their election that they intended to give two-thirds of the county printing and stationery to outside printing establishments that paid no taxes and had no interest in the county, how many of them, think you, would have been elected? —Plymouth Democrat. From the above articles it would appear that Adams County is not the only county in the Slate that is being taken in by the Burford Printing Company of IndianapolisWk notice from reports received throxgh our exchanges that the County Fairs held throughout the State this year have not “panned” out as lucratively as on former years. ThiH is accounted for by the great number of people that hied themselvesJd Chicago to attend the only great event of their Ijte-time. Adam.XCounty therefore did the wise thingxin putting off her great display for another year, at which time let everybody in the County be ready with their exhibits and we’ll try’to eclipse what Chicago did this year. WALL STREET PAWNBROKERS. A weekly paper published in the City of New York and tolerably well known by its subterraneous and incoherent and senseless title of Journal ot Civilization has had much to say of late encouraging the purposes and conditions of Wall street. Beginning with the idea that somebody out in Kansas or the Indian Territory is about to hold up the innocent old gentleman who do a strictly legitimate green groods business in the vicinity of the United States Subtreasury, this paper has had a series of learned editorials to show that,Wall street lambs have no- desire whatever to kill the goose that lays their golden egg; that they would be idiotic if they took part in auy movement looking to the creation of hard times in the very sections from which their revenues are derived, and that they are sufficiently patriotic to know that those things which are best for the prosperity of the agricultural regions are best for the interests of Wall street. This sort of argument is spacious and calculated to disarm suspicion. But it is in accordance with every argument made by the subterraneous Journal of Civilization from 1860 to the present hour. Nobody in the West or South is making any invidious distinctions against Wall street. Everybody knows who knows anything at all of history that Wall street has no desire to kill the agricultural sections outright and in cold blood. To believe otherwise would be to believe that Wall street financiers have no sense. The whole trouble lies in the fact that Wall street can calculate to a penny bow much the agricultural sections can give up and not break. It is farthest from their desire to break us or to permanently disarrange our productive and carrying capacity. What they want is all we can give, to the last dollar. It is their business to get it, if they can. It is our business to see that they gel only their share. The prime question at issue is the paying capacity of a dollar. Wall street seems to want gold in payment for everything. If the street gets thi" it will compel us to pay more than a dollar's worth of labor for every dollar of the enormous debt we owe to New England and New York. We are willing and anxious to pay our debts, but there must be a basis ot settlement in consonance with bur agreement to pay. There must be recognition of silver, as money and not as bullion, to an extent that will enable agriculture to honorably discharge its obligations-without incurring more indebtedness. In other words, we ■! want a fair settlement of accounts i on K/me other basis than that of the pawnbroker. Wall street has attained some celebrity in the West and South as -argottgets —T11 <• various movements , in opposition to its methods are not ' j designed to kill it, but arc solemnly ..-j n tended-to advise its votaries that p . then- is law and equity in this con;,iiy and that borrowers ought , not t<> In required to pay back more than j lim-ipa! jnd a. reasonable ] amount of interest.

REPUBLICAN SCHEMERS LEFT. Those Republican molders of public opinion who have been trying to fasten responsibility for tne financial condition of the country on the Democratic party are beginning to realize the hopelessness of their task. When the attempt to repeal the Sherman act as a measure of relief was first seriously considered, they took the ground that the scarof available money and the business depression were not the result of the silver purchasing law, but of the prevalent dread among the industrial and commercial classes of the country that the existing tariff laws would be revised m accordance with the policy for which the party had declared and to enforce which it was elected. Some. of the Republican Senators and Representatives expressed this view in Congress and it was generally acquiesced in to the extent of silence oh the part of those who are specially favored under the high protective system, they believing at the time the Sherman law would be repealed and the financial stringency relieved, while at the same time, a strong blow might, be struck for the retention of the McKinley legislation under ttie impression created that it is necessary to the prosperity of the country. But the action of the minority in the Senate and its stubborn refusal to grant the demand for repeal, has been the means of compelling the great manufacturing interests of the country to show their hands and confess that the repeal is necessary for the financial preservation of the country, thereby confessing that the tariff scare was only created for selfish partisan and trade inter, ests, and that it was without foundation in fact. The unprincipled suggestion of Senator Don Cameron that the purchase of silver be continued in order that the Republicans in Congress might be sufficiently strengthened to prevent a refor m of the tariff, was promptly sat down upon by the manufacturers of the country, and nowhere more severely than in the great iron and steel center ot his own state. They are their demands that the Sherman law be repealed as the one thing which will restore prosperity. They declare without qualification that it is responsible for the crises which would be happily passed but for the uncertainty created by the inexplicable course ot the Senate. In none of the appeals from the manufacturers and the commercial organizations of Congress is there any expression ot fear because the Democratic party proposes to keep faith with the people in the revision of the McKinley tariff laws. Their whole cry is for the adoption of a sound financial policy. The attempt to create a tariff scare has been a dismal failure.

The fun which the Russians are having at Paris may yet prove a mighty serious matter for Europe. We arc under obligations to the Hon. D. W. Vorhees for a copy of hi®-speech in the L. S. Senate, Monday, October 9, 1893, on the repeal of the Sherman Bill. Govkknok Matthews has named fifty prominent citizens in the Indiana delegation to the World’s Real Estate Congress, which meets at Chicago Monday, 'fjetober 23. Among the nmnber our friend and follow-townsman, Godfrey Christen, heads the list. No new lights on party managemi nt can alter the universal experience of patty control of legislative bodies, that differences between the party ranks must be settled in caucus by a majority vote or party control of legislation necessarily, and justly, fails at every point. The country is settling down 10 business again. The little object lesson provided by Wall street seems to have taught New York Bankers what they did not know before, that the Western people can not be driven any more than they can be persua'ted to accept the gold basis. *• Another Applicant for the Decatur Post-office has "been dug up.
