DECATUR DEMOCRAT. aDecatuir, -nc.. F.MOCRATIC I’RESS CO.. - - PUBLISHERS. CHAIRMAN MARTIN.S ADDRESS. “To the Democracy of Indiana: Selected unanimously by the democratic state central committee and by the request of the candidates upon the sta ! e ticket to the position of chairman of the committee. 1 announce my acceptance of the same and n y assumption of official duties as.such'. The change in the chairmanship has occasioned no interruption of the campaign and has been made in regular accord with theusages of the party. “The organization of the partv both in the state and in the counties is in good condition. My best endeavors shall be used to aid and perfect the same in every way until the close of the campaign The democratic cause is on the open highway to success. The principles of the Chicago platform have commended themselves in the highest manner to the people of Indiana. Accessions to our ranks, to our aid and from all sides are more numerous than can be rated, and these are the surest manifestations of public faith and confidence, and all persons of whatever political parties and societies who sympathize with us in this great contest are earnestly and sincerely invited to cooperate with us in the conduct and work of the campaign. “The coercion of corporations, the false bribes of political corruption, the tricks and devices of gold standard hirelings cannot accomplish our defeat. They are and will be detected, exposed and overthrown. This is peculiarly a campaign in behalf of the people. I have that faith in the justice of our cause and high hope of the success that I pledge my most earnest effort to secure a victory. It will need the aid of the democracy of the state and I appeal to all democrats for their cordial; loyal anti united support. Organized effort continually and faithfully persevered in will bring to our cause a victory as certain as it will be overwhelming. “PARKS M. MARTIN. “Chairman State Democratic Central Committee. CANTON EXCURSIONS. THE EMPLOYERS MAKE MONKEYS OF THEIR EMHLOYES. Washington, Sept. 12.—1 n regard to the pilgrimage of iron workers from Homestead. Pa, to Canton, today. Town Clerk Hugh O’Donnell writes to the national democratic committee as follows: “I don’t think the workingmen of Homestead have forgotten July 6, ’92, nor the cause which produced it and when the votes of Homestead are counted a decided majority will be for Bryan and free silver. "As to the excursion to Canton on Saturday, it was gotten up by the super intendents and bosses. They held a meetnigat one of the mill offices (there was not a workman present), appointed committees and telegraphed to Canton "Pay day was changed from Saturday to Friday, and the entire plant will be closed down. This is some thing that they were never known to do before. I suppose a large number of democrats and republicans who will .vote for Bryan and who . are well aware that they might lose their jobs if they did not go to Canton, will prefer to do so. No doubt vou are aware that Dr. John Purman, of this place, is the democratic candidate for congress, and as he stood by the men in the conflict of ‘92 and had always been a friend and supporter in the cause of labor, and as everything points now to his this is an effort on the part of the firm of their superintendents to create the impression that he will he defeated. “You may rest assured that the number of people woo will be on the. excursion, Saturday, wi'l not mean that McK’nlsv will get that number of votes in Homestead. With the mills closed down and plenty of tree tickets they cannot very well help haviifg a crowd . Yours very truly. “H. J. O’DONNELL.” Hugh O Donnell was rhe leader, of the great Homestead strike.

POPULIST COLUMN. The grand platform of principles eulogized in a previous issue of the Democrat are suited to every person and class who earp their bread by their honest sweat. Uncle Sam’s broad acres, under onr improved methods of tilage, can furnish the world wi'h bread as plentiful as Manna was in the wild erness as laborers and tillers of the soil. Our interests are one and the same.'ll We are the basis of all present and, future financial obligations, the golden god notwithstanding. We are the wealth producing classes of the earth, and the only class of men operating bv and of Divine right. We are th® government’s resource in time of war. in time of peace, its political power if we unitediv use it. In this we h ive been ton slack or reticent, we've, lis'ered too long tn the cunning wiley tongue of financial and political trickster, so long as they, have nearlv bankrupt our government We have had confidence in thehonestv and ability of the great political parties, we’ve changed from one to the other onlv to be deceived again. The change has not beer, a specific panacea to thcause of our burdens, but new fuel to the flames Why has this been so? Because among the leaders of those two parties they are one in sentiment and have and h->v - acted in concert to their financial glorv and to the desecration of every laborer’s interests The Sher-man-Mekinlev republicans. the Cleveland. Belmont and Thurman thoroughbreds are one. They have shown the B'ime predominant tvranical spirit in every act of their official careers, vet designated bv different political mames for the sole purpose of keeping laboring people divided. They know that where we are divided we are belples c and onr interests are not repres- nted in any legislative bodv hut recenty there has been divisions in the these old parties. The honest republican wh ß n" in convention wou’d adhere no longer to the hypocritical straddle, heresies and eleven states of them withdrew and are now supporting Brvan. A great majoritv of the democrats were honest and exacted a fair, honest American platform and controlled the convention. Because of this fairness there were about 1.609 of the old tyrants bolted and are doing all they can to defeat Krvan and elect McKinlev In this crowd of 1,609 rests the the bn’k of the capital of the democratic partv. They egotistically designate themselves as the elite, the brains, the thoroughbreds, the millionaires, they are now using the old man Palmer of Illinois, as a catsnaw to pull the chestnuts out for McKinley.' We will not say anvthing derogatorv about him. be Is an old man in dotage, and it i# well known how he schemed to get'to the United States senate through fair promises to the populists and now how degenerate. The votes polled tor him in Illinois and Indiana will not hurt Brvan The millionaire in this is so apparent that the biggest fool in the countrv can see it Their case rests with this scheme and with their corrupt millions to pav speakers, buv votes and editors of papers. Money is a great power, but it is not equal to this emergency Sum it up and see. Cleveland was elected bv • the largest majoritv of anv president; those voters yet live and will vote for Brvan. except thirty thousand bankers and probably as many more millionairs. Say sixty thousand thoroughbreds will vote for McKinley. Brvan will hardly miss them only for their stench While Bryan looses these he gains two million populists, eleven states of republicans and nearlv all the prohibition party. Don’t yon see the hose’s eve is sot. it’s a walk awav for the people to whom of right this honor and this government belongs. Here is another scheme bv which to gain votes. They will start all the factories and loan money at six per cent, to make times look prosperous and thus try to hold the labor vote of th® cities. Let me say to our ci tv friends that your country cousins can not be caught with such chaff. We want a change o f base, we want representation. we want the people to maintain the government, to have representation in all its law-making departments. We want every American citizen equally respected in his rights, regardless of nativity or his location. We want to spit in the face of the damnable cowardly thief who tries to steal the prestage we won on many battlefields as soldiers, and who as laborers subdued the wild wilderness and caused her to bloom as a rose. The impervious scoundrel of Wall street who called all laborers people of the lower class, had better keep his dirtv' feet off of our hoosier virgin soil. Tins tribute is meant for one Forsythe and his ilk of Wall street, wfio tried to buy the Fort Wayne JournxlJlfrom Bryan, the peopel’s .interest, for McKinley. They have not got to buy our honest men, much less a paper like the Fort Wayne Journal, a paper that ought to have a monument bnijt of silver lor its integrity to the cause of the people. Every good citizen should become a .constant subscriber to it Although proven, it has been through, and withstood the corrupting influences of McKinleyisni. We are honored when we are designated as laborers To labor is wealth. To labor means to bring up an honest family, an honest bread, indeed it has been said that idleness was the devil’s work shop,

and that income ebb* children have been reared on the price of a parent’s soul, bartered awav in gambling dens and bronhels. Let us then pride ourselves in being count rs fie>* silver populists and unitedly we <-ah and will elect Bryan in spite of Wall street, go'd or s’anpy epithets THAT AWFUL MEXICAN DOLLAR. On August 30’h the San Franciseo Examiner published a silver edition o the paper, and among letters from prominent men of the world. w<> note one from President Diaz of Mexico The republicans of this city are citing Mexico and the Mexican dollar as awful examples of free silver, and we therefore copy the letter of President Diaz, as follows: To the Editor of “The Examiner”— Sir: Realizing that the United States is in the midst of an electoral campaign. nn which it is hardly proper for the executive Officers ot other countries to ext ress an opinttm, I will refrain from giving mv personal views on the currency question as regards the condition in the United St tes. Spesking, however, for my own country, I must say that there are two aspects from which we view the matter of the depreciation of our money abroad. In the first place, our foreign d- hr, is navable in gold, and oiir revenues come principally from our import duties, which are payable in silver. Yon will realize that the depreciation of the latter Causes much loss to our govert - ment ’rea-mrv I must sav. therefore, ■is an executive officer of the nation, that this is to the country’s detriment. On the other hand, the long era of profound peace which we have enjoyed, the stability of the government, and the present high rates of exchange have caused millions of foreign capital to seek investment in Mexico, and under this aspect the silver standard is of the greatest benefit to us. This benefit might, it is thought, be largely lost by the adoption of the sil ver standard by the United States, as capitalists would not then have the same inducements of high effehange here that they have at present. The exports of our national products are rapidly increasing, as they are purchased in foreign countries in gold, the profits of our exporters are very large. "Manufacturers of all kinds are very prosperous, inasmuch as the depreciation of our money abroad acts as a high protective tariff for them at home. The fact that our silver dollar is quoted at but half its value in gold standard countries has no effect on its value here. It is worth as much and bins as much of the necessaries of life as it ever did. If your children are subject to croup watch for the first symptom of the disease—hoarseness. If Chamberlain’s cough Remedy is riven as soon as the child becomes hoarse it will prevent the attack. Even after the croupy cough has appeared the attack can always be prevented by giving this remedy. It is also invaluable for colds and whooping cough. For sale by all druggists.
