Deinocratic County Convention.

The Democrats of Jasper county will meet in delegate Convention in the Court House, at Rensselaer, Ind., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1888, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the following county offices: County Treasurer, Sheriff, three Commissioners, Surveyor aad Coroner. The basis of township representation will be one delegate for every ten votes cast for the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State in 1886. By order of Democratic Central Committee. L. E. GLAZEBROOK, Chairman. V. E. Loughridge, Sec’y. Oar Democratic State and Congressional tickets are now befoje the people. On Saturday of next ■week, it is to be hoped a County ticket will be placed in nomination composed of men of ability, honesty, and well qualified to discharge the duties of the respective offices for which they may be selected. The odds, in this county, is generally conceded to be against us. But we are one of +hose who b dieve that harmony, good, faith fal a strong pull all to. gather may acLie<e success.— Inorder th it our candidates may go out among the people to get acquainted and solicit their suff rage, a fund should be placed at their disposal to enable them to do so It should not be expected th?m to give their time and money where the chances are against them. Five hundred dollars devoted t( that object, together with earnest, energetic work at every poll on the day of election, will do far mo.e to yard insuring victory than all the first-clsss, high-pressure papers in the country can do. It will reach ‘floaters’ who take no stock in the teachings of the papers —a class generally captured by earnest workers. Assured that this wiil be the policy a full ticket of good men and true, will no doubt be secured. Raidall’s speech against the Mills Tariff bill, is to be circulated by the Republicans as a campaign document.

“A big scheme is, or at least has been, on foot among some of the leaders of the local democracy. — Republican. Our neighbor seems inclined to be sarcastic. The idea that Parm. Wright, a confessed and acknowledged republican, aad who seems to have had charge of the deal, is one “of the leaders of the local democracy,” will be accepted as a ridiculous absurdity. ■■ —, c »« <1 » - On Saturday last a Mr. John W. Sickles, of Chicago, said to have been connected with the prominent dailies of tkat city for m.my years, located himself in the “Excursion Depot, Land Agency *rnd General Trade Dickering Office” of Parm. Wright, one “of the leaders of the local republicans,” who invited in a number of our citizens and introduced them to the gentleman, stating the object of his visit o be the establishment of “a large all home-print democratic newspaper in consideration of a donation of SSOO and a guaranteed list of 800 paying subscribers.” Of cot rse the prospect of a paper superior te any outside of Indianapolis under th® management of a Chicago newspaper man was dazzling to some. If the gentleman has been all his time engaged on city papers he has been employed, and paid, a stipulated salary, and is ignorant of the difficulties connected with the management of a country newspaper. According +o the vote this county shows 800 or 900 dem - ocrats; in numerous instances fam dies contain two, three or foui voting members; in other instances some are without established abode and will support no paper; i and still others, perfectly honest ' fmd themselves unat le tn pay, which ex plans to some extent the difficulty in th® way of a “guaranteed paying list of 800.” Some surmise that Parm. Wright is interested to the extent of a fee for any assistance he might give in the deal, which would be perfectly legitimate and proper; it is currently believed, too, that Mr. James would be afforded an opportunity to dispose of his material, which would be legitimate so far as he is concerned. But there is no excuse for any democrat taking stock in any deal of that kind. We have offered a way out of the difficulty —to dispose of the Sentinel and the subscription list wo’d give a boost to the 800. This offer is made for the sole reason that we desire to arrange our affairs, and not because we think the party demandsit. A few (a majority of them influenced by personal motives) are not the party. Having been in constant service since January, 1856, we would cheerfully take a rest so far as journalistic work is concerned, if we can do so without too much loss. Otherwise we do not think we will required to take the “side-track” or “let the procession run over” us. W® have never asked a donation nor have we been offered one, but have endeavord faithfully | and horestly to discharge our duties under the most adverse tircumstances, and are willing to submit to the honest, unbiased judgm?nt of the democracy of Jasper county-

“Tell the Truth,”

W*s capital advice, rendered famous when tendered by Mr. Cleveland to his enemies and tradueers. It is worthy of consideration by any who, to make a point, will stretch the tru+h to such an extent as will Munchausen to take a back seat when they meet in ’tother world. It should be earnestly pondered over by the gentleman who circulated tho report that 400 or 500 Democrats took the Republican in preference to the Sentinel. Mr. Marshall says he has 70 or 75 Democra ic subscribers who, with but few exceptions, are also subscribers to the Sentinel. * The gentleman who asserted that we had been proffered aid to enlarge the Sentinel and procure help, as well as a tender to purchase the establishment, is equally wide of the truth. He, too, should profit by the maxim: “Tell the Truth!” One N. D. Levinson, in a communication to the Indianapolis Journal endeavors to reply to the unan propositions of Rev. Sm’th with reference to the polit-

ical complexion of the union army, and says that the computation cannot ba properly made, from the “fact, that at least one-half of the Union army was composed of boys who had not a' tained their majority in November, 1860. He fails, however, to account for the immense increase of the democratic vote on the return of the boys, compared with the republican.— He asks, too, “<ihy did the Democratic Legislature of Indiana in 1862 refuse to pass the bill allowing thq soldier to vote in the field?” We answer, for the reason that the vote was sure to be manipulated oy republican tools in the interest of the republican partv.

AN HONEST MONOPOLIST.

Pittsburgh (Pa.) Post: Thrreis none of the hypocrisy of the average protectionist about Mr. Blanchard, of Chicago. Mr. Blanchard is engaged in the lumber business, and tells, with delightful candor, towhat extent and why he is a protectionist: I am high tariff an lumber, but low tariff on copper, iron, wool, cotton, leather, glass, etc., and 1 will tell you why, lov a timber land and sell stumpage; beside, I operate largely myself, and this tariff pats money i to my pocket. I get per iuousrini for my stumpage and $2 per thousand for my boards. I have just sold 5,000,000 fset of lumber. Now, $2 a thousand on 5,000,000 feet is just 810,000. That is the difference to me’between high tariff and fre® lumber. lam high tariff on lumber, I am! This blessed tariff, they tell us, is all for the benefit of the American laborer. What do you suppose I did with the $10,000? Divide it with my Workmen? Not a bit of it. I put it right into this calfskin wallet, I did. Of all my workmen lam the oJy protected American laborer. ages depend on supply and demand, my friends, and not on taxes. When you see two men after one boss, wages ar® low; when you see two bosses after one man, wages are high. That is th > whole of it the theory, principle andpra‘s- - This is evidently a truly honest protectionist, and his frank words will command greater respect than anything that has been said for many days on that side of the question. The Carnegie works in 1887, for instance, realized from sl7 a ton duty on steel rails anc S2B 88 on steel beams, the magnicent, subsidy $4,086,366. How did they divide with labor ? Why they gave the workmen, in whose behalf this tariff bounty was granted, $949,261 as wages, since reduced, and as the Chicago lumberman says, put the remaining $3,000,000 into their “old calf-skin wallet.” This accounts for rhe $5,000 a day income for 300 days to the principal partner, whether it was “drawn out” or allowed io “stay in” anc grow. Blessed protection! It is because of his turning on the lights in this matter, there is such a squirming over William L. Scott’s speech. Let ’em squirm.

ANYTHING TOR VOTES.

In his speech on the Mills Tariff bill, Congressman Owe a said: ‘I am in favor of a revision of the tariff. The whole schedule from the first article to the last, ought to be intelligently and practically reconsidered, and article by article, revised and yeadopted. I advocated this procedure in 1884, and again in 1886, and I propose t ? vote at this session of Congress for some proper method of tariff reform. I was in favor of a repeal of the to ;acco tax, but I am indifferent now. I shall vote for it or against it, as the interest of the countr may be best conserved on other questions inyolved. I am with t, bacco as Stephen A. Douglas was with negroes in his debate with Mr. Lincoln —I don’t care whether it goes up or down. lam a protectionist. Protection does not mean the Mills bill. Th. Mills bill is what Talley rand called “diplomacy, it says on© thing and means another.” Of course Mr Owen is in favor of “protection.” He is in favor of protecting monopolies. He is in

! avor of dear blankets, a free ‘chaw,” and free whiskey.

The territorial Democratic convention recently held in Salt Lake City, made a point of effectually sitting down on the Mormons. Many of the counties sent entire Mormon delegations, but the G j nheld the majority and assumed control of the body, excluding forty-two regularly chosen Mormon delegates, on the ground that men who had wor .ed with the Mormons could not be called Democrats. The convention adopied resolutions to oppose the admission of Utah as a state until the present political and social conditions have changed. The followers of old Jo. Smith are beginning to realize that their lines are deviating from the smooth places of the earth, and they may expect and prepare to face serious obstacles m th® way of their progress in the future. —Idavil e Observer. The Republican party resolved a»ainst the “twin relic of barbarism.” It enacted the Edmunds bill, too, but not until the advent of Mr. Cleveland’s administration into power was there ever any attempt made to enforce it. The Democratic party in every instance proves to be the only true natty of reform.

That is to sny your lungs. Also al your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages. but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them.
