ghs Democratic PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. 81.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, AUGUST 15. W. D. Bynum will talk sound money at Hartford City soon. John C. New of Indianapolis, returned this week from a few months sp< nt in Europe. It is unauthoritatively reported that Frederick 11. Coudert of New York, will receive the appointment of supreme justice to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Jus tice Jackson. Prosperity in industrial circles still continues. An iron works that has been idle since 1885 has resumed. Verily, this is poor weather for the gifted republican panic shrieker. Montpelier will have a new bank. Herman Wiecking and H. C. Arnold of Bluffton, and D. A. NValmer of Montpelier, being the capitalists interested. It will be a private concern. We wish Indianapolis authorities would settle their street car difficulties, so the newspapers of that city would have something else to talk about. It is all wrong to advertise their business 365 days in the year. The Bluffton Chronicle is out in black ink for Ben Harrison for president. The Chronicle “kinder” likes Harrison's administration. We don’t blame them for that, but still when he went out of office he left a bankrupt treasury. The Indiana silver league is out in an explanatory circular letter, giving the public a knowledge of the purposes of such an organization. The letter is too lengthy for reproduction this week, but will give it in full next week. Petersburg is Hooded with counterfeit money, ranging in denomination from a ten cent piece to a dollar. The people who were duped with them paid one hundred cents on the dollar. An object lesson on the money question. Justice Howell Jackson of the United States supreme bench, died last Thursday. Although a democrat, fie was appointed by Presi dent Harrison—the onlj- good act remaining to his credit. The sue- ■ cessor to Justice Jackson has not yet been named. Every day' brings additional news of prosperity in the industrial world. The new tariff is working wondeis to the workingmen, and as this country is largely populated by this class of people, it is little wonder that the news is shaking the revolutionary pedals of this globe, Greene Smith was in New York last week and of course, as usual, was interviewed on the political outlook in Indiana. His way of looking through a tin horn placed Harrison on the impossible list, and Matthews on the probable list, with the Nicholson law as a stunner against republican success. Adams county farmers have no kick to register on the price of wool this season. The new tariff law which was going to send this industry immediately to the damnation bow-wows, has increased its price ever since the repeal of the McKinley monstrosity, which protected this as well as numerous other classes. Wool is on the free list. The prices are better, and the theory advanced by the democratic party is being realized to the letter.

“I THINK the condition of the democratic party in the whole country to day is remarkably strong, even stronger than it has been since the war.” “Why!” “Because for the first time since the war it has a record to stand on. It has done something. In spite of an extremely high tariff public revenues were falling and the republican party had proved itself absolutely irresponsible by its extravagance. The so called prosperity of the country was fostered by a tariff which granted enormous profits in spots and at the same time stifled general competition and depressed individual enterprise. A crash was inevitable. The Cleveland administration met the crisis which the republicans had evaded. The republicans created the difficulties and the Cleveland administration has solved them.'-’ —Interview with William C. Whitney. |i

Miles Coble, an ex surveyor of Randolph county, is a defaulter to the amount of $438, and was tool enough to leave for parts unknown. His bondsmen will have to settle the defalcation. Some one has named the following democrats as candidates for governor of Indiana. They are all good men, and any one of them would no doubt be a credit to the party and the state: The Hon. George \V. Cooper <i Columbus, the author of the greenback taxing bill; the Hon. J. B. Stoll of the South Bend Times; the Hon. Thos. Taggart, chairman of the state central committee; Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Mortimer Nye of Laporte; Judge Frank Gaven of Greensburg: the Hou. Charles L. Jewett of New Albany: the Hon. J. G. Shanklin, the able editor of the Evansville Courier; Capt. NV. R. Myers, exsecretary of the state: ex-Speaker Mason J. Niblack of Vincennes; ex Congressman Bynum, the gasburner; ex Congressman John L. Bretz of Jasper; ex-Congressmau Elijah Voorhees Brookshire of Crawfordsville. All of these able democrats have their following and each one could rally to his support a host of good democrats. Isn’t it gall and wormwood to hear reputable republican newspapers now claim as their reason why this country is furnishing Japan with iron cheaper than England, is “that owing to the long fostering system of protection, these vast corporations and companies grew so financially strong that now they can furnish iron in competition with England.” Isn’t that silly, absurd and ridiculous. Suppose the McKinley system of “protection to home industries” was still in operation, would these same institutions furnish their product to the l trade of this country any cheaper? Not much. They would simply form a trust with every other factory in this country, put up the price and stick the results of this benevolent protection down in their pants’ pocket. The fact that they have grown strong under the robberies of the McKinley tariff is true, and the fact that they have: also grown corrupt is also true. But we draw the line when they■ ask credit for exporting iron to Japan.

The Boston Herald says that a j reserve of 8100,000,000 is a very insufficient provision in view of the enormous amount of paper money which the treasury is called upon to maintain at par. Ta ere is a great deal of force in this idea. In old times it was a maxim in banking that the amount of gold to support circulation should not be less j than 40 per cent, of the notes outstanding. Some banks considered this amouut insufficient; others assumed more risk in the matter and floated a considerable circulation with one do'lar in gold to everj’ tour of paper. At present the United States has one dollar of gold to eight of paper that rests directly and indirectly upon it. To be perfectly secure, the fiee gold in the treasury should be about $300,000,000. It will be almost impossible to collect a sum of this magnitude without creating a great flurry iu the financial centers of the old world. The only other recourse is a retirement of a part of of the circulation in a gradual way, and this can be done only when the people of the country and the politicians look upon finance as a science, and not as a political question. ' Information comes from the state house that the new law will require township trustees to pubi lish an annual statement is already resulting in the uncovering of a i good deal of crookedness. The ■ attorney-general’s attention has been called to two trustees who > have gone wrong—one in Madison ■ county ami one in Bartholomew i county. A state officer says that others will lie found to be in trouble. ■ Prior to the enactment of the law by the last legislature trustees were ' not required to make any kind of a

report to any one. The members of the general assembly were petitioned by citizens in man}’ parts of the state to pass an act requiring regular reports. The new law provides for a system of bookkeeping as well as the publication of reports. Each trustee must keep a register of all townsh i p warrants or orders, showing the fund on which they were drawn, the number, date and amount of each order, to whom issued, for what purpose and when redeemable. It is also provided that the trustee shall keep a complete statement of all outstanding indebtedness of the township, and that he shall, on the first Monday in August of each year, post up a statement in a conspicuous place in the vicinity of his office, showing the indebtedness in detail, giving the number and total amount of outstanding ordeis, warrants and accounts chargeable to each fund.

I jSh/ "ired, Weak, Nervous Could Not Sleep. Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston, Idaho, says: “I was all run down, weak, nervous and irritable through overwork. I suffered from brain fatigue, mental depression, etc. I became so weak and nervous that I could not sleep. I would arise tired, discouraged and blue. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and now everything is changed I sleep soundly, I feel bright, active and ambitious. I can do more in one day now than I used to do in a week. For this great good 1 give Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine the sole credit. It Cures.” Dr. Mlles’ Nervine is sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.
