costs the people a dollar of increased internal taxation for every dollar of reduction in customs duty. We | suggest, in the light of his recent column editorials, that the editor of | the /temoernt go after that prize. Senator IIii.i. with something of the Damon and Pythias spirit of self-sacrifice, protests that Le will not run for governor this year, and that lie will allow flov. Flower to receive the nomination. The majority against Flower will perhaps he 30,000 or 40,000, hut against Hill it would he somewhere be tween 70,000 and 100,000, and piobably nearer the larger than the
smaller figure.
.VUltMURl \<rS IS MICHWAS. Grand Rapids, in Michigan, is a manufacturing city in the true sense of the word, its chief product being furniture. About 0,000 hands ! were employed in its sixty two fur- | niture factories, the annual product j of which was worth 112,000,000. (There were also from 700 to 900 | factories of all kinds, the product ! of which was worth about $30,000,- ! 000, and all this was from a city of 190,0o0 inhabitants. Hut it does ! not apply to “these prosperous ! democratic times” that make the ! poor supply store boom, cause the j formation of charity organizations by the dozen and make the souphouses a necessity. The workingmen of Grand Rapids have had a task* that will not leave them very soon. For many months the larg lest concerns were closed entirely.
o™s.ie. Finally, when work was resumed, it
was with about one half the usual force and at a reduction in wages. The threat of free trade, that has shaken the country from sea to sea, leaves a scar there that will he visible for a long time to come, and it makes many a man think “that all is not gold that glitters,” not even the promises of the free trade cam-

Ik every democratic senator would stand up for the interests of Ills own state, farewell Wilson hill! Chairman Wilson, we are happy to say, will get well, but the malady with which his party is afflicted grows worse every day. Sherman is keeping very quiet lately, hut he will make a great speech against the Wilson tariff bill when if gets where he can get a sipinre whsok at it. The democrats may caucus on the Wilson bill every day in the week, and the fact will still remain that it is the worst measure of its kind that lias ever been conceived.

UlilCE AXI> M K1SLEY. « incinnati Tribune. The New York H'orltl asks Senator Brice “to explain the differ ence, if there be any, between his views on the tariff' and those of Governor McKinley.” Senator Brice may rise^to a question of privilege and answer in his place in the senate, or he may not. Governor McKinley could answer in a minute, but he is not an interested party. If the World really wants information on this point it can get it from any consistent republican. Senator Brice wants to protect the industries of his own state. McKinley favors the protection of the industries of his whole country. Senator Brice’s protection is democratic: Governor McKinley’s is republican. McKinley believes the old axiom, the whole is greater than any of its psirts. Senator Brice thinks the part is greater than the whole. McKinley believes in the United States, all of them Brice belie’-es in Ohio. One is republican doctrine; the other is democratic.
When the republican party was managing the laws of this country everything was prosperous. Workingmen had jobs and money ; thinking to better their conditions, as all Americans like to do, no matter how comfortable their income, they listened to the seductive twaddle of theorists; they read columns of theory and free-trade essays; were seduced and voted wrong. The burden of the work ere this change a:i on "republican' editors and speakers, f.s many of the susccptible voters luul never seen TTfat great stalking destroyer of American industry—free trade. Republi-
can leaders were compelled to do much writing and more talking, but the theorists won. Now it is changed. The burden is on the democratic editors, and the smaller ones are writing barrels of matter, seeking to prove black to be white. They are working hard and their theories are beautiful. The country editors berate the large democratic dailies for showing the administration its faults and appealing to it to carry out its promises. All this time, however, the practical results of the threatened Wilson bill administration are paralyzing tbe business of the country and the voters know it. They are shrewd enough to see that democracy is incompetent, and that is what is causing these democratic essays and “classification” of the various kinds of democracy as put up by the large papers.' Wc pity our neighboring democratic editors in this their hour ot hard work. It’s an awful task', gentlemen, you have before you, but as a direct pointer, wc can tell you it is in vain. The handwriting is on the
wall.
J. W. MfituoCK, of Graham, Mo., has a new invention called the Political Puzzle. Free trade or pro tection is worked by twenty blocks, tern free trade blocks and ten protection. They have even chances for congress. In working the puzzle free trade is in congress, protection is the attacking party, and to work the puzzle you must drive free trade from the hall and take pos session, and when the puzzle is worked the blocks are lettered so that they spell free trade and protection. It is a puzzle that suits the times and is sure to he the rage everywhere, as there is no political question agitated as much as free trade and protection. The inventor is J. W. Murdock. He has applied for patent.—Aftiri/rille, Mo., Dimo-
crat.
There can be no. patent on the method that will this year drive free trade from the halls of congiess. It's something that can't be patented. Everybody wdll take a hand and anything that promises to he every man's property and something that can tie so neatly executed cannot be construed as an infringement on patent rights. We suggest to our Missouri contemporary that he wait until along about next November. The people of the United States with their little ballots will solve this puzzle of how free trade is to he knocked from the halls of congress, in such a clear and concise manner that a patent won't be considered for a moment. There's no need of even a Missouri democrat worrying over such a patent patent as the one suggested above. New Castle, ludiana, is now to be known as “Newcastle.” spelled as one word and with a little “e.” The Courier doesn't like it, but we believe they are a little airish over their name. Greencastle looks and sounds all right but it could be fixed up as Green Castle with about as much propriety as Newcastle, which demands two Capital letters. However we can’t help but admire the Courier'n kick over the change which is as follows: True to their pledges and inherent instincts, demanding a “change,” the democrats now propose to change New Castle to one word. The order has gone forth that after April 1st the postoffice shall he Newcastle. It lias been supposed that the men who founded this town and those who lived here and have transacted business for half a century and more, knew how to form the words the rTv./rr,—Lut it appears that such is not the case, and that a man in Washington has determined the matter. Next we shall hear of Ncwhainpshirc, NewiLgutiit AcAjei'UsRicTki—-jioSid bly not the latter, for when it comes to that city the present democratic administration is not in it.
the editorial meeting at Indianapolis last week and he explained the delay more fully by stating that one morning recently the Inter Ovenn received 10,200 letters. At ter the order leaves the Banner Times office it must take its turn in the Inter (freon office. We trust all our subscribers will receive their papers without much further
delay.
Ik there is such a demand, as apparently exists, tor a revival of religion in south Putnam county it wouldn’t be a had idea for Green castle to send out a few evangelists. All the churches are pretty strong here and a good system of religion might lie taken to the region of Salem church and placed on a strong foundation. There is too much foolishness going on down there under the guise of religion. Making good people insane is not a feature of true religion. Ik it be true, as reported, that ten democratic senators have en•ered into a written compact to op pose the Wilson bill as long as any one of them is dissatisfied with its provisions, the pending scheme of tariff-smashing will have several difficult swamps to cross. Ik every democrat senator could have his way about amending the Wilson bill to protect the industries of his state, the final result would be a measure not materially different from tlie McKinley law. Ir will be observed that the bloody shirt waving is being done by democrats and not by republicans now. Right from their own party comes this denunciation of the “rebel brigadiers.” The verdict of the people after November next will be that democracy has been the greatest detriment the country has had for many a moon.

A prominent democratic paper of New York thus sized up Cleveland’s first year of his second term : Washington, March 3.—The buckbone of the administration, and Mr. Ulevehiiul in particular, is us absolutely broken regarding tbe Wilson bill as the Policy of Infamy, The democratic revolt in I lie senate bus gone to this extent, and there will be no step backward. The democratic senators in revolt command the situation. A bill having the name of tlie Wilson bill may be passed, but not the bill for whose passage Mr. Cleveland left orders when he departed for tbe Dismal Swamp. The victory Representative Bland achieved about tbe same hour in the bouse of representativ. s was not a less noteworthy defeat of tbe administration than this overthrow of Cleveland in the senate on the tariff'question. On the three positions wherein Mr. Cleveland has intrenched himself, namely, the Policy of Infamy, the Wilson bill as it passed the house, and the silver question, he has been routed after a regular hand-to-hand tight. He was routed in a democratic caucus of senators on tlie Wilson bill. The bill

The south did not furnish a thing for that funeral but the corjise ami the hole in the ground.

body will act independent of him. In both branches of congress, there-
fore, the administration has been set at defiance on three rndirnl questions. This has become true before its first year of existence is over. The democratic senators who have brought about this as to tlie Wilson hill will not worry whether Mr. Cleveland will “come down” to them or not. Of the number Senator Hill is probably the most conspicuous. Without their co-op ration no Wilson bill, or other tariff’ bill, will

How absolutely the tables have been turned, who now commands the situation, how totally reverse is the standing of Mr. Cleveland in both brunches of Jbi.jblss; noihVI.ulUXA-TaT foe extra session, when he bullied through the silver repeal hill—these are points that
need not he expatiated upon.
The future, as it seemed to lie at the extra session, is now not Ids to command regardless of the democrats of congress. There is not now, nor will there be at any time, harmony among the democrats according to Cleveland. That gospel has been exploded and the truer one of harmony according to dem-
ocracy has taken its place.
