Extracts of Speech Made by Ch iiriuan of the Convention. After a few introductory remarks concerning the crowd present Mr. Turpie spoke of the war. He said tnat it is a ■war that has been forced upon us. After mentioning some of the earlier incidents he spoke of the blowing up of the Maine as the final event ti a produced that war. Without dwelling long on war itself he touched up the means ot raising revenue to maintain the fight. “The first thing needed for war purposes,” he said, “is an adequate supply of revenue, and at the very beginning ot our labors to that end we are Informed by the honorable secretary ot the treasury, notwithstanding the romance ot arithmetic, which he issues as a circular daily, show Inga surplus of many millions, that in fact he had only available funds on hand sufficient to defray the war expenses up to July 1. 1833; that from and after that date congress must provide therefor. “This disclosure was not unexpected. Our present revenue law, commonly called the Din gley bill, is nor a war measure. It is very lar from that. The Dingley bill was a very peaceful, quiet, exceedingly pacific spoliation of the earnings of labor, and the products of land for the benefit of the clustered groups of monopolies whe dictated its rates aud schedules. It atfordedits beneficiaries unlimited resources for pelf and pillage, but it yielded a return'V.f revenue so scant as to be insufficient. even in times of peace. Its authors, in their care lor the trusts, forgot the treasury. There was nothing left to con gress except to look elsewhere for money with whicti to carry on Die war.” Mr. Turpie then took up the war revenue bill as it came from the house of representatives indicating to his hearer: that it pressed unequally upon the peo pie. Following this line he said: “The house bill was basted wholly ot: taxes upon consumption, except thestanit section, which was bus al upon production; in other words, the business ac tivities of the country. “Our federal taxes have be -n heretofore too largely levied upon consumptionbare, crude consumption. Such tuxes al ways operate oppressively upon the majority of the people. « » » » O ily ths minority of niea cau ever bo rich. It is true this minority in be tercircuinstancc; pay the same taxes on consumption that others do, but their contribution to tht government, when considered with refer encc to their means of payment, is much less than that ot the majority, who an always the not rich. "For those reasons just aud thoughtful students of fiscal science have always ad vacated a fair distribution of taxes, placing some portion of them upon consuin;' tioa, a portion upon production, and es pecially some part upon accumulation We therefore placed in the senate amend ment to the revenue bill a tax upon the gross receipts of corporations before men turned, light in iwelf, but calculated tc

yield a very large revenue. We also placed in the same manner a tax upon inheritances, with proper exemptions and limitations, not high or excessive, bul calculated also to yield a considerable rev enue. and we hoped if these two taxes pre vailed we might be able without injury t< the public income to strike out some ol the most burdensome and annoying ex actions of the stamp act. But these hopes were disstpisointed. 'I tie Republican com mittee of conference struck down our of forts to lay taxes upon incorporated production, and reported, for the most part the old grinding system of taxes levied al most wholly upon consumption. Indeed If you had heard the arguments. long and elaborate, made against our amendments you would have said that our opponent.had reached the conclusion that it was unjust as well as unconstitutional to tax anything in this country except tobacco beer and business, some sort of business requiring the use of adhesive stamps.” Mr. 'l'tirpie devoted considerable timi to a discussion of the bond issue. “W< offered in lieu of the bond issue,” ht said, '*( 1.) Legal tender notes, the sums as those now already issued and in use (2.) Toe issue of treasury certificates, payable and receivable for all public dues and debts; (3.) Treasury notes bearing interest at 2 per cent, rcdeeiua ble in cue and two years, such notes at were issued in the old wars with Grea: Britain aud Mexico. All these substitutes were defeated, one after another.’ The country owes, the speaker said, £ great debt to Senators Allen, Wolcott Teller, Stewart, Mautle aud others foi their successful efforts to secure th( adoption of the senate's compromist proposition to coin the silver seignorage Following this introduction of the silrei question, Mr. Turpie said: ‘lt- becomes now useful to see what it the status of the standard silver dollar This status is fixed by law. by act of congress, but 1 wish to quote the statement at the law on this subject by the secretarj of the treasury, because it must be re gardeci by our opponents as the highest authority. This is found in Treason Circular No. 143. dated July 1, ISVi. pub lished and issued under the signature o Lyman J. Gage, the present secretary ol the treasury. On page 1U of this docu ment it is stated, ‘standard silver dollar: are legal tender, at their nominal or fact value, in payment of all debts, public anc private, without regard to the amount ex cept when otherwise expressly stipulatec in the contract.’ Again, on page 15 of thi same circular, in regard to the same subject, there is the following statement ’Neither silver certificates nor silver dol lars are redeemable in gold.' On p.tge It of the same circular the following stat - ment is made: ‘Gold coin and stand in silver dollars, being standard coins ot th< United States, are not redeemable.’ “It is thus shown under the official statement of the present secretary of tin treasury, that the standard silver dollar: of the U nited States are in themselves money of ultimate payment, and tha: they are not kept up or carried in anj manner by the treasury, but that the; circulate as full legal tender, by reason o. their own specific worth and value. Thi: is the position we have taken from thi very beginning of the discussion on thi coinage question, and we yet adhere to ii and maintain it. The Republican confer enee committee and their majority in both houses of congress were unwilling t< confront the question'why should we is sue bonds and borrow money, pay interest and add to the national debt when we have in the treasury a silver reserve ca pablc of being coined and used to increase the funds of the treasury?’ “There has been much bald disjointed ehat »x>ut the ability, or inability of our government to carry silver. We never have carried aid are not now carrying any silver. Standard silver coin does not need to be carried. It lives, moves and circulates upon its beneficent errand of exchange by reason of its own strength and merit. It is gold as the single standard of values that 'asto be carried. The people are even now bending and straining under the weary burden of the gold standard sought to be imposed upon us. Gold, which shrinks from our sight in peace, which hides in war and which always makes the grievous load of debt heavier and harder to be borne.” Reverting again to the war. Mr. Turpie spoke of the glory aud honor aquired by France in its assistance rendered this Country in its time of need 120 years ago. “What a glorious and jeweled wreath it is in the history of the jieople of France that they recognized the independence of the United .States; that they intervened by arms to aid us in its accomplishment; that they helped us to take among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitled us. And if we shall now, in behalf of the Cuban republic, whose people have long absolved themselves from all allegiance to the Spanish crown, have declared and maintained their independence, aid them to drive from the island the armies and navies of Spain, recognizing, on our part, their independence. introducing to the family of nations this battle-scarred, latest bora daughter of liberty, what a splendid jewel that would lie in our national life and history. In so doing we shall have assisted, as France did. in the creation of a new nationality. We shall have given pledges to the whole world of our advocacy and devotion to the cause of civil and political freedom in this hemisphere. We shall thus do a deed worthy of immortal remembrance.”

Following this, Mr. Turpie made a plea lor the immediate recognition of the independence of Cuba. He said such recognition would be equal to a great reinforcement of our army in Cuba aud ought not be delayed a single day. In conclusion, he said: "Concerning the disposal of our military acquisitions, and ot the subjects incident to tile close of the war now pending, they may well be remitted to the future to which they belong, to the great future rapidly approaching, fraught with high questionings of the career and destiny of our beloved country. There we may leave them in the full confidence that the American democracy wifi deal with them in due season, and in such manner as shall best subserve the national interest, and best comport with the national honor. ' Committee <»f Kc»ol uHoiia. Theu came the important part of the session—the reading of the report of the committee on resolutions aud the adoption of a platform. Hou. Samuel E. Morss, chairman of the committee, stepped forward aud began the readlug of the report. He was loudly cheered before he began reading aud before he had read very much of the platform, those who bad indulged the hope that the uouveu-

tiou would not be wildly and fully for j the Chicago platform and the tree coin- I age ot silver at 16 to 1, were thoroughly convinced that their hopes were useless, for every time silver was mentioned and when Bryan was mentioned, and the | record of Senator Turpie indorsed, there , was loud and lasting applause. On the j reading ot the section reaffirming the | Chicago platform there was applauei that continued for some time aud ended | by loud calls of "Bryan, Bryan.” At the close of the reading of the res olutious the chairman called for a stand- | iug ana separate vote ou the last para- ■ graph, a tribute to the late Senator Voorhees, which was given unanimously in lavor of the section, amid loud applause. platform. Principles Upon Which ihe Democratic Party Carry ou the Caiupaiffu. The following are the resolutions in full adopted unanimously by the convention: We. the democracy of Indiana, in con venlion assembled, now, as always, loya; to our country and our flag, affirm that the cause for which the United States it engaged in war with Spain is just and rignieous. We recall with prjde the earlj espousai and united and pe.sistent support ol this cause by the senators and representatives of the democratic party in congress. We cong-atulate the country upon cae universal patriotic uprising which has swept away the last vestige of sectionalism. and levealed us to the world as a united people. We rejoice in the heroic ueeos of Dewey. Bagley. Hobson and thelf brave comraoes. which have added new luster to the American name. We demand. now as heretofore, the most vigorous prosecution of the war until it shall have ended in vindication of the national honor, the absolute relinquishment by Spain tx possession or control of any part o. the western hemisphere, and the forma, acknowledgment by that kingdom of the independence of the Cuban republic. Wf favor the prompt recognition by the united States of such independence as a war measuie. and as an act of justice tc a brave people, struggling for freedom. We urge tne immediate increase of the volunteer forces of our army and navy tc any. extent necessary to assure speedy and decisive results, and the approprlat.on of all the funds requisite for the adequate equipment and support, and for the comfort, of our gallant soldiers a .d sailors in armed conflict against the public enemy. The supreme duty of the hour is to relieve the prr.shing victims of Spanish cruelty and secure the complete triumph of the national arms. When this shall have been accomplished the justice and wisdom of the American people may be safety trusted to deal with all questions which may grow out of existing complications, in such away as best to promote the objects f r which this republic was founded. We favor such a permanent strengthening of the n«.vy ts ’.he United St i-os and Bucn improvements of our system of coast defenses as shall assure adequate protection ct the country against foreign aggression. Liberal Pensions Advocated.

The democratic party of Iniltnri now. in the past, advocates libera! per.sicns as well to the disabled survivors of the Union army in the civil wi *. and their widows and orphans, as to the victims «n the present conflict, and those who may be dependent upon them. We 'mi »r the valor of those who suffered for the .’lag in the gigantic contest of ISbl and of those who have now gone forth to do battle in the cause of liberty and hjE.anity. We are in favor of the conserve ;ion an 1 control of the Nicaragua canal by this government, when its feasibility shall have been determined: but we are opposed to a loan of the national credit :o any private corporation that purpose. of Einnnce. We rea**.rm and emphasize the platform adopted by the national democratic convention of 1896 at Chicago. (Great applause and calls of "Bryan”.) We are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage ot both gold and silver at the existing ratio of 16 to 1 (applause), without the aid or consent of any other nation. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold stadard. and we epecially protest against the declared purpose of the present Republican secr««axy of the treasury of applying tnat policy more thoroughly. e bei.cve that the practice of the treasury in paying treasury notes in gold only, in violation of the law. and in surrendering the option of the government, reserved’by the statute, to pay in gold or silver, is chiefly responsible for the great money depression new. and for a long period, existing in this country, is destructive of business enterprise, dangerous to the public credit and the prosperity of the people. and a serious menace to the national honor. Income mh<| Inheritance Tax. We insist that the wealth of the country should bear its just share of the pubhe burdens. For that reason we approve the Inheritance tax recently adopted through the efforts of the Democrats in congress, and we favor the principle and policy of an income tax. The demonetization of si’ver and the judicial denial of the power to tax incomes have materially impaired our resources » • war purposes. We favor the reimposition of an income tax. so that the question of its validity may be reviewed by the supreme court. Twrifl For Revenue. We earnestly reassert the Democratic doctrine that all tariff taxes shall be laid for revenue as their sole object and purpose (applause), and we do at this time especially denounce and condemn the high prohibitory rates of the present Republican tariff, commonly called the Dingley bill, under the operation of which trusts and combinations have multiplied, the cost of the necessaries of life has been increased and the wages of labor have not been advanced, and which has entailed upon the country a deficit of many millions, to he made up only by additional taxation in time of war. thus imposing, instead of a benefit, a.n onorous burden upon the people of the United States. S«*Matnrinl Flrrtioix. W’e reaffirn and emphasize our repeated declarations ‘n favor of the election of United States senators by the people. Our Thx Law. W’e congratulate the tax-payers of Indiana upon the rapid decrease in the state debt, and b*-g to remind them that the revenues with which th* payments thereon have been made and are being mad'* result from the enforcement of the democratic tax law of 1891. which was enacted by a Democratic legislature over Republican opposi‘ 4 on and protest, which was assailed by a Republican state convent on. denounced by Republican orators and the entire Republican presa, but which was sustained 1n the highest court of the nation through the efforts of a Democratic attorney-general. Every dollar paid on the state debt by Republican officials if cumulative evidence ot the stupidity, or worse, of th** Republican organization in its bitter opposition to the law which made such payment possible, and which, since coming into power, they have made no effort to repeal. Cr«»>«*<nn of a Sinking Fund. We also recall that a Democratic legislature enacted a law creating a sinking fund of 3 cents on the hundred dollars, tu be applied ezclusively to the extinguish-

ment of the Mate debt, and that under I these laws the Democratic «drn.nWn, I ~ nf Governor Matthews, in 189., ana set the pace by reducing the state deot more than two million dollars \u«rr»lurn Ballot £»ste«n.

We call attention to the record of the last wto legislatures, each Republican. In both branches, which made scarcely a law of material benefit to the people. Roth of these legislature were marked by corruption and debauchery so scanda)ou> that even Republican organs were driver, to denounce them. They have to theh credit the iniquitous special verdict lawmade in one and repealed in the other; the present legislative gerrymander, by which the senate is given fifty-one men* hers, in violation of the constitution; the anti-trust law. Inspired by trust attorneys and purposely made so worthless that Republican state officials dare not attempt to enforce it; an oppressive garnishee law. which undertook to deprive wage-earners of the state of their constitutional right of exemption; and the outrageous partisan measures to extend the term as the appellate judges, county sup enntendents and township trustees. I’nmirr Kl«*ftl<»n«. We are earnestly in favor of legislation for the regulation and reform of primary elections.

We recognize the existence of grave de tects tn the laws governing counties and township” l of this state. We favor a complete and systematic revision of such laws to the end that pubik* business may be transacted with greater efficiency and economy. We favor such an amendment nf the truancy law. which now requires a largf and unnecessary expenditure of public moneys, so as to transfer the duties of such officials to township trustees, who shall perforin the same without further compensation. Organised Labor. We sincerely sympathize with organized Labor in its efforts to adjust differences between the employer and employe. We denounce the incorporated trusts which have overcome these efforts by cruel and unjust methods and we favor a system of equal and disinterested arbitration as a mea-s of adjustment of such differences. We take pride in the long list of laws enacted by Democratic legislature for the benefit of the workingmen of the state, including the eight-hour labor law. the law* prohibiting “pluck-me-stores,” the repeal the infamous Republican intimidation laws, the law prohibiting the importation of Pinkertons, the law prohibiting "blacklisting.” the miners’ law providing for the proper ventilation of min»- c and the use of honest weights and screens; the law protecting workingmen in the right to organize for mutual defense; the co-employes’ liability law: the mechanics’ lien law: the law prohibiting the forced collection of fees from employes of railroad corporations to sustain company hospitals, restaurants, etc.; the law guaranteeing the civil rights of all citizens, and the law prohibiting the importation of paupers and aliens under contract Into the state who have no purpose of becoming citizens thereof. We demand a more thorough enforcement of the eight-hour and other laws in the interest of labor by the public officials charged with that duty. We are opposed to the contract labor system in prison, but we believe that to maintain convicts in idleness is inhuman and unjustly burdenseme to the people We believe some plan should be devised for the profitable utilization of their labor without bringing it into competition with free labor. The projects for its employment under s he public account system, or in the construction of a ship canal connecting Lake Michigan with the Wabash river, or in some other enterprise of great public utility should be carefully considered. and that plan which promises the best results and is open to the fewest objections should be adopted by the next legislature. We approve the child labor and factory inspection law. and favor such amendments to the same as shall render it more effective. We adhere firmly to the teachings and practice of the Democratic party in favor of the largest measure of personal liberty consistent witn public security and social order. We are opposed to all projects of legislative interference with or regulation of matters which lie within the domain of individual judgment and conscience. Bryan aixl Turpi- lii.lorsed. We express our undimlni=hed confidence in William Jenings Bry. n (loud applause), our peerless leader in the national campaign of IK6. and we note with much gratification his patriotic course in leading to the defense of his country a regiment of citizen soldiers. (Applause.) We indorse the record of our distinguished senator, the Hen. David Turpie, who, by his able and eloquent championship of Democratic principles and measures. his sturdy devotion to the interests of the people, his uncompromising warfare upon extravagance and jobbery, hi* advocacy of great reforms, such as the popular election of United States senators, and his warm espousal of the cause of Cuban independence, has justified the confidence which the Indiana democracy has reposed in him. Tribute to Dan-el Voorhees. Whereas. Since the meeting of the last state convention we have suffered an irreparable loss in the death of the Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, late a senator of the United States, one who had faithfully served the people, the state and the country. for many years in the highest official station, we deplore, with profound sorrow. his departure from the scene of his great achievements, aqd shall always cherish his memory with the most sincere regard, reverence and admiration.

The Cause of Disease, [ WHY A LARGE MAJORITY OF WOMEN tej UNHEALTHY. 1 Carelessness and Indifference to Daily Habits and Duties * Undermining the Health of Many Women—How W this may be Overcome. « — — .■ From the Graphic, Jluthvdlf, Jnd.

CarelessnM’ and indifference to daily liablta ■ •nd duties huve made many women weak and , unhealthy. A large majority are languid , , peevish, sallow, no appetite, full of aches, and pains and generally out of sorts. All of these ailments if not attended to promptly, lead , i to serious diseases. , , 1 These diseases occur because the blood has become impure, for no woman is seriously sick when the blood is pure. No one is better able to speak of this tact than Miss Hazel ( Snider a charming young woman of Arlington. Ind. To-day she has rosy cheeks, a sparkle in her eyes, which, with her P lu "]P form, all prove that she is in good health. A year ago Miss Snider did not look this way. She was very thin, her cheeks were pale, i her eyes sunken and dull. She was troubled . with nervousness and general oebintv. 1 had been sick some during my life, she says , “ but not any more than the average girl, and wa< considered strong and healthy. “I had prepared to teach school but became so run down that I did not feel like teaching, and gave up my school before the term opened. I disliked to do this, hut my mother ami physician urged that this was the proper thing to do. especially if I wanted | to avert a spell of sickness. I began to grow pale. weak. lo«t several pounds of flesh, was stupid, and hod no ambition. *• My appetite began failing. New and dainty dishes were prepared for me, but these did not tempt me. Many times I was hungry, and would try to eat because I knew I was almost starving, but ths food refused to remain •n my stomach. *

Successful Cleaning and Dyeing. Special attention is given to cleaning men's clothing. All grease and spots are removed. Repairing clothing is done to perfection. Binding, re-lining, pressing and general repairs are made and the garments are made to look like new. Dyeing is done only after the clothing has been thoroughly cleaned, and after being repaired and pressed, one would lie surprised to see how will an old suit of clothes is made to app< ar. The colors are fast and will not crock or fade. We pay express charges one way. Give us a trial. Johnston’s Steam Dye Works, Bluffton. Indiana.

Crippled byRheumatism. Those who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ultimately intensify the disease by causing the joints to swell and stiffen, producing a severe aching of the bones. S. S. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years—even the worst cases which seemed almost incurable. Cat: O. E. Hughes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia. 8. C.. had an experience wen Rheumatism which convinced him that there is only one cure for that painful disease. He says: "I was a great sufferer from mus- / cular Rheumatism for I 171 two years. I could get tya no permanent relief fW W* w! from any medicine pre- s w a. 0 scrlliedby myp.vsician. bArt. 7 I took about a doten hot- SbIBkW t ties of your S. 8.

S.S.STS.BIood being Purely egetable, goes direct to the very cause of the diKase and a permanent cure always results. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury or other dangerous minerals. Books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia.
