PUBLIC SPEAKING!

Judge David S. Gooding Will address the people ol Marion rtfxl adjoining townships nt the Court House, in Rensselaer, on WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT, I I, 1878, at 7} o’clock. Everybody invited to attend and hear this distinguished oratorand sound reasoner on trie issues that are now agitating the minds of all thinking people. Go to Catt & Smoot for the solid hot smoking tobacco. Trading politicians are corrupt politicians. —Consul James. Justso! Two years ago, after assisting in and endorsing the noniina lion of Haymond you traded him off for Calkins tmd—what! The consul, therefore, must be a “corrupt politician.

Best Browned Coffee at Catt & Smoot’s. Try it. In spreading a slander always be careful to exj less your pity and sympathy for tin: pel son sluuUered. —Ex change. That’s just the way our consul does it. lie reproduces the slander precipitated with a view to defeat General Alanson’s Domination, and with emotional hypocrisy insinuates that he dees it “more in sorrow than in an ger.” His readers readily detect the falsehood, however.

Sherman, instead of j utiing in circulation the standard silver dollars, shipped out to the national ranks of the country all the Mexican and trade dollars in possession of the treasury, and so soon as those institutions had circulated them among the people, gave out that they were worth and would be received only jit ninety cents. The people have been robbed of many thousands of dollars by this act ofrudical rascality.

Jasper county republicans have an excellent ticket. There is not a bad man on it —Consul James, 1878. We have been content to let Horace prefer charges against his candidates, and one of the present nomi nees called forth, two years ago, the following howl: “Temperance and consistency are excellent virtues in- their place, but l heir place does not appear to be on the republican county ticket.”

"Our Simon," according to the Fowler Democrat, is anxious to take a hand in the canvass of Benton county, since he has become convinced that his power and influence is not felt and appreciated in his own county. The Democrat intimates that if he goes to intermeddling with affairs in thateonnty, it will show him up, etc., etc. Probably Simon might do as well by not thrusting himself where he is not wanted. We want him at home, and anxiously desire that he shall canvass every road district in Jasper county. Send him home.

Horace E. James, editor of the Rensselaer Union was in the city Friday sveninff. He is the member of the Republican State Central Committee, from this District, and he estimates the Greenback vote in Jasper county at less thar one hundred. Reports from other quarters place the probable strength of the party in that eou nty at about 300.— Lal’or/e Yes, and it is over 300. The consul has a habit, on paper and in cmversation, of over-estimating the strength of. his party, and greatly under estimating that of the opposition. But actions is said to speak louder than words. The unceasing and la borious efforts the radical party is now putting forth to maintain its hold—-the several arrangements ihe leaders are now striving to perfect to enable them to colonize voters in Jasper county, ail conspire to show that the consul and his friends have no confidence in the strenth they claim. Our people must be vigilant and watchful, and have a care that the balance of power be not vested in men employed for the time being undfortln sole purpose of control ing the elections. Such cannot, bv any construction of law, be regarded as bona flde citizens.

The 1 correptiun” fund furnished by the bond and officeholders is being us< d in thts county, to circulate defamatory and false campaign supplements, a gratuitous circulation of radical newspapers, and to procure free trains in which to send crowds to rad c d mei tin; s.

Quite a large number from this place, and stations along the line of the I. D. & C. RR.,attended the meeting at Mcnticello, addressed by Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Mr. Shanklin, Democratic candidate fcr Secretary of State, Monday last. About three thousand of the citizens of White and adjoining counties were present, and the greatest enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed.

Our opponents are restless and unea«y. They will hesitate at no falsehood to secure their r nds. Be Prepared to hear all kinds of campaign slanders against the Democratic and National candidates, but heed them not. Just on the eve of election all kinds of reports will be set afloat to deceive, and the people will do well to act upon their own judgments, and disregard the means used by the “ring” to mislead.

A Butler Brick.

It seems that Ben has a few bricks left. Here is a specimen of the one he dashed at “the govern metre" recently: I can’t see any administration. I’d like to see what Hayes administers. The only administration I have een is his api>ointment of dfty seven men who hejlped him to fraudulently fill the highest office in the government. He has appointed more scoundrels to office than wero ever known in the country before. Isaac I). Dunn, republican candidate for Commissioner for the Ist District, a Few days since in a contro versy declared that the “dollar of the daddies” was not .1 legal tender for sums ovoi five dollars. Mr. Dunn has a good opinion of himself, while his republican friends declare that he is a man of superior intelligence. If the declaration that the “dollar of the daddies is not a legal tender for sums over live dollars” is a sample of his intelligence, we are forced to the conclusion that he is not sufficiently posted to make a good Commissioner for Jasper county.

It was given out that Gen. Nelson, whom the Tall Sycamore defeated at different times notwithstanding the radical gerrymandering Gs his district, would reply to Mr. Voorhees, at Monticello, Tuesday. In order to insure a crowd, free passege on chartered trains was given all who would attend. A republican informs us in brief; “Tl e number in attendance on the speaking, was not one-third that of the day before, and that they were by no means attentive listeners; that the speech was simply “bloody shirt” nndabus? of Mr. Voornees, and very unsatisfactory.”

Among the foolish dupes who hearkened to the .flattering promises of these saintly worthies was the Rensselaer Uni< >n, which had- not at that time reached an age when the teeth of wisdom are cut. It was young, gushing and likewise trustful. Such is the explanation of the consul with reference to his independ i. t course four years ago. It is too thin. He had failed in securing the j ostoflit e, and was sore—very sore. He believed the granger aird independent movement would sweep the county, and desired its nomination for cleik ■ faihd. Two years later he was still “young, gushing and likewise trustful.” * ♦ “Not unlike an ass colt.” At that time, in Michigan C ity, he assisted in the nomination of Dr. Haymond, and there, too, is said to have occurred the little transaction now in controversy be tween the consul and Mr. 7i merman, of the Valparaiso Messenger.— After assisting in the nomination of Dr. Haymond he came home and enlisted under the banner of Calkins.

We have just received a short letter from the celebrated Bquattum Kaffee, better known as “Sitting Bull.” He is well posted in Jasper county politics, and his presentation of the claims of Mr. James T Abbett, of Indianapolis, Republican candidate for Recorder, is certainly as clear and convincing to all fair minded men as anything that can possibly be sai 1 on that side. The language is so chaste and yet so expressive as to reach the true inwardness of every intelligent voter. In justice to all parties we here state most explicitly that the sai-; SquattumKaffee is in no way related to the Hon. JohnVan’tWoud, German editor of the Union. Here is the letter:

“W 1 at has the Democratic party done?” frantically demands a radical exchange, and then goes on, harping on the string of its crony associates, with the allegation that because it has had a majority in one branch of Congress for three years it should have restored the prosperity the country has lost through radical as-

cendancy. In spite of the antagonizing policy of the radical Senate a Democratic House . has saved the country a hundred millions of dollars in appropriations and cutting down the excessive official force under pay in Government service. This it has done, by persistent and determined firmness with the other tw« branches, the Executive and Senate, against them. More was impossible, and a hundred millions o* dollars is no small amount to be saved in the way of public expenditures. It shows what it i* capable and < e irous of doing, and what it will do when it succeeds to the administration of public affairs.

[From the Congressional Globe.J

Pay of the Army.

Mr. Voorhees offered the following resolution, and moved the previous queation on its adoption: Whereas, The increased prices attached to all the commodities of life render the expense of living and of suopoiting families almost, if not quite, double what sufficed for such purposes at the commencement of the war in which we aie now engaged; therefore, Be it ? esotoeef, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to prepare ami report, at as early a day as practicable, a bill providing for the increase of the pay of the white private soldiers now or hereafter In the Ar ny of the UnitedJStates to the sum of twenty five dollars per month; >l- - providing for the increase of the pay of all commissioned and noncommissioned officers and musicians, now or hereafter in said army, forty per cent, on the amount now paid them by law; and also providing for the payment to the soldiers who have heretofore been enlisted including those who have been honorably discharged by reason of disability or other cause, of an amount of bounty money equal to to the highest amount now beiug paid by the Government for volunteers.” Mr. Stevens—l ask the gentleman from Indiana to amend his resolution by directing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire into the expediency of reporting such a bill. It ought to be so in all these cases.— There will be no objection to the resolution. Mr. Voorhees—l accept tie modification The<resolution was modified accordingly. The previous question was seconded, and the main question ordered, and under its operation the resolution was adopted.

The "World’s Gold.

The entire amount of gol 1 in the world at present is estimated at nearly seven billions ($7,000,000,000) of value iu United States coinage. A thousand millions is more readily comprehended; consequently several thousand millions means more, verbally and financially, than seven bil lions. How much solid gold would that make? Pure gold is more than nineteen times as heavy as water, and a cubic foot of water weighs one thousand ounces avoirdupois. A cubic foot cf gold would weigh therefore, over nineteen thousand ounces avoirdupois, and each such ouuce of fine gold is worth, as we reckon, rather more than $18; so that a cubic foot of the precious metal would have a value of about $333,333. A cubic yard ol geld, beiug twenty-seven limes us much, would be worth over $9,000,003, and seven hundred cubic yards would contain considerably more than the whole sum of gold ou the globe. All of it might be contained in a block some seventeen feet high, twenty-eight feet wide, and fifty-six feet long.

Cut This Out and Save It.

A correspondent writes as follows about the flower of a well kuown plant: “I have discovered a remedy for consumption It has cured a numb?r of cases after they had commenced bleeding at the lungs and the hectic flush was already on the heek. After trying th s remedy o my own satisfaction, I have thought philanthropy recmired that I should let it be known to the world. It is c< muon mullen, steeped strongly and sweetened with coffee sugar, and drink freely. Young orold plants are good, dried in tne shade and kept in clean bags. The medicine must be continued from three to six months, according to nature of disease. It is very good for the blood vessels also. It strengthens and builds up the system ins ead of taking away the strength. It makes good blood and takes inflammation away from the lungs. It is the wish of the writer that every periodical in the United States, Canada and Euro; e should publish this recipe for the benefit of the human family. Lay this up and keep it in the house ready for use.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes withfullle gal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable in coin.

That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem It unwise and inexpedient to enact eny further legislation for. the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the people would be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings iu the funded debt of the United States. That we are in favor of such legislation as shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 4121 grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the futuie public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined anK enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to *he miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the common school system, and will in every legitimate way labor forks .success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, »nd we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of just.ee in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of the people. And we demand such le - gislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of subsidies by the federal government,either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and svith barefaeed effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free peo pie had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have outraged. And we denounce the act of the president of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts or federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.

National State Platform.

The National Greenback Labor Party ofTttdiana. iu convention assembled, declare: 1. Wu declare our fealty to the American monetary system—the abolition of all bank issues, the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and the issuing by the government of full legal-tender paper money, receivable for all dues and payable for debts, public ana private, iu amount sntticieut to meet the wauls of trade, to give employment to all labor, aqd to enable the people to do a cash business, and to relieve them from the debt system which has made the industrial and commercial classes the slaves and drudges of the creditmongers of the world. 2. We declare our opposition to every measure looking to the resumption of specie payments, the monarchical system of liuance which puts all the interests of industry, trade and commerce iu the hands of the few. and enforces a monopoly of wealth destructive of the highest material good of society. 3. We proclaim our uncompomising hostility to I lie perpet nation of the system of goverment bonded indebtedness which is intended tohind unborn generations in chains, and we declare that the government should use all the funds now hoarded tor resumption purposes to pay and cancel outstanding bonds, and that it should make new and liberal issues of money to be applied to the same purposa; and that the issue of future interestbearing bonds should be prohibited by constitutional amendment 4-. We demaud that all legislation should be so enacted and so administered as to secure to eacli ntau, as nearly as practicable, thu just reward of his own labor; and we denounce all lawlessness, violence and fraud that refuses submission to the will of the people honestly expressed through the ballot. 5. We denounce the red flag communism imported front Europe, which asks for an equal division of property, and we denounce the communism of tlie national banks, of the bond syndicates, and of the consolidated railroad corporations, which have secured and are enforcing an unequal division of property, having already’divided among themselves ten thousand millions of the pioperty of the people by corrupting the representatives and servants of "the people. The one system of communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which have been planted by nature in the human family, and both systems are destructive of the rewards of toil and of the incentive to industry aud exertion. 6. We declarethat until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extinction of debt and usury is established the Slate should by all the powers that it can exert, limit and reduce the rate of interest so that it shall iu no event exceed the average increase of wealth by productive industry. 7. Wc favor simple, plain and economical gov eminent, as few laws us possible,and they rigidly enforced—as few officials as practicable, and,they held to a close accountability. To this end wc demand the abolition o! all useless offices, and the overthrow of the sy stem by which offices are made to yield almost princely fortunes. It. is the first duty ol the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossible for any local or State official to receive more than adequate pay for his services; and when practicable the compensation should be fixed by a specific salary. 8. We denounce the conspiracy of the Democratic aud Republican leaders of Indiana to build a costly aud magnificent state house, which, as experience nas proved tn all similar cases, would result in the general plundering of the people.— We denounce the action of the governor in calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose jf fostering this scheme. We denounce the indecent haste with which the state house commissioners are proceeding tolet a contract to bind the people of the state, and we demand that no contract shall be let until the voters of the state have had .in opportunity to express their will upon the •■abject through the legislature to be chosen in October next. 9. We protest against the weak and ineffective election laws of Indiana, and we ask that the next legislature shall enact statutes wnicii snail secure tail- elections in the state, and which shall provide severe aud adequate punishment for fraudulent voters, and lor those who bribe voters or procure fraudulent votes. 10. We denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment of the legislative and congressional districts of the state in the interest ol the Republi- ! can parly, and the equally unjust apportionments i made in the past by tlie Democratic party, and we pledge our members of the legislature to vote for a fair and equitable apportionment which shall secure a full and iiiiirammeled expression of the sentiments of the people. 11. The State shall enact laws which will abrogate the abuses aud protect tne interests of men who work iu mines, by providing for the proper ventilation of the mines; and the earnings of ail employees of corporations should be a first lien upon tlie property of said corporations. 12. If it was wise and needful in 1887, when money was plenty and the country prosperous to enact a bankrupt law, it is certainly humane now to amend such law so to prevent frauds and to con- i tinue in force this last escape of the oppressed ( debtor from the extortions ol the money power And we favor tile exemption of not less than SI,OOO worth of property to the householder from forced sale on execution. I 13. The constitution should be so amended that I the President Vice-President aud Senators of the i United States shall be elected by direct vote of the people. 14. We are unalterably opposed to adding to the burthens of the people by an increase ol tne standing army, believing with Washington that “overgrown milila-y establishments under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and particularly hostile to i epublicau liberty.” I."). We indorse and reaffirm the platform of principles ncopted at Toledo. February 22.1878. and we congratulate the country upon the union of the political interests subserving the useful ranks of society, iu one party which shall advance this decree to a higher and better civilization and this oldest gospel, that there shall be workfor all and that all shall work.
