THE EAGLE A. J. HILL, Editor. *"* "d'SC ATUR, INDIANA. ~ FHiDAY, Ftb.iiuy 2. ISGB. “Pre-ilnt of the (hicago Free Trade League” has in ide the discovery that Western farmers “are going to run as fast as ‘protection’ can hasten them'.” We suppose that functionary wool - have four or five huu Ired millions more of gold sent abroad annually to pay for imports and deprive G >verament of import duties by which it is enabled to pay its int-resi in g Id. and thereby reach a perfect state <4 blissful beatitude. Fort Wayne Gazette. How long since the Gazette was advocating the doctrine that a “a nauonal debt is a national blessing?” And the larger the debt, no doubt, the more perfect would be the state of “blissful beatitude.” When the Gazette gets “aid an I comfort” from the opposition, it is de parting from the great maxim of the party, “policy,” ia not giving a word of encouragement. But we are disbelievers in the “blessing,” and likewise the Gazette’s "protection.” Lt us drop your protection, and with those millions the Government would loose—but which the people now loosv hr placing it in the pockets of monopolists—and we could bye our goods in the markets of the world, pay for thorn, pay our tithes to Government, and have a balance to our credit, instead of being in debt as at present. The Gazstte may mock ns much as it' pleases about the discovery that Western farmers “are going to ruin as fast as “protection” can hasten them!” But it is a fact, an indisputable fact that cannot be gainsayed or controverted Thernever was a greater volumo of currency in the country, and never were the people 1 contracting as many debts as the present—-d-bts of necessity, not of sp'-cula’i.’n. There is no money in :Ii» hands of the! people. In diis ©minty not one-fourth of 1 the people have paid their t.’X s, up to the ' presiut time, wlu-n as compared will previous years over one-half ought to have been paid. The truth is during th last four reals the people, in addition to. pay ing the necessary expenses of the Government, have been outrageously plundered and swindled. M.immon is the God you hare set up. and the high priestof your party hove disguised their acts o> perfidy in the customary “sheep’s cloth ing,’’ that thieves have used for over eigbte n hundred years. Our land has been drenched in a baptism of blood such as the world nev.r uw; tl • bio d of t!-e hardy yeomen o; the country; the blood of those who were not favored with an excess of this world’s goods. Those who escaped hare returne I to find those who remained s' home to fight copperheads, with pockets tud o; : Government bonds, while they are called \ upon to pay expenses. Yes, and the greatStaleof Indiana through lier'Ui.iaru Legislature repealed the bill to si i soldiers families; but gave the Ind.anapolis Journal sorus 860,000, more or less, for , that which was cf no ear.hly use but to; put money in the bands of one of t e stay at home reserve corps, who fought copperheads. These sre but items in the financial exhibit of the last four years. Y*’, the Gazette may mock at tiie ClSemi ties of the poor; it may ba able to blind the eyes of eime, and put it* feet on the necks of others and "uroteet’’ them. But there is a time Coming when be feats of necromancy and juggling practiced by your parly wi 1 be unrav eled and made plain; when that tide in • lie affairs of ycur party which led to fur lunes will be explained; then look out for the day of retribution. ■■ —- - NEWS ITEMS.
