In quantities of five cr more 5o cents each. “We favor the entire repeal of the internal taxes (on whisky and tobacco) rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system.”—Chicago platform. “The platform is in entire harmony with my views.”—Ben Harrison. Read the speech of Congress, man Mills, and other instructive articles, on another page. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel pays D. W. Shields, of this township, a well-deserved compliment. The Democrats of Wheatfield held a large and enthusiastic meeting last Friday night. Addressed by Mr. Fansler. ■■■ ■ - The Democratic meeting held in the court house last Saturday -was largely attended, and the speech of Mr. Fansler was well receivedI One of the TO voters last Satur" day remaked to us that the warariff didn’t effect him, as he made t a point to purchase xkmerican goods! His tax went into th e pocket of the monooolist instead of the Government treasury. The elelector who may be in doubt as to his duty at the coming election should bear in mind that

much has been accomplished in the right direction under Mr. Cleveland’s administration. Millions of acres of land given to the monopolies by republican administrations have been wrested from them and restored to the public domain. The revenues have been rigidlv o Jlected and honestly disbursed- A vastly greater number, and better pensions hav * been paid the soldiers. If the elector doubts the wisdom of tariff reform as proposed by the Democracy, the ex. perience of the past should go far toward influencing his decision. — Read what Garfield said in March, 1878: “In 1860 the burdens of national taxation were light. All our revenues, including loans, amounted to only 876,000,000. Our expenditures were 877,000,000, and our whole public debt but 865,000,000. In the year 1860 the tonnage of our ships upon the seas was 5,353,868 tons, which was more by 140,000 tons than in any. other year of our history before or since. Twothirds of our imports were then carried in American bottoms, as were also more than two-thirds of our exports. Our exports that year reached the aggregate value of 8400,000,000, w hich was forty-three and onehalf millions more than during any previous year. Our imports were 8362,000,000, decidedly more han any other year. And I make this statement on the authority of David A. Wells, that in 1860 we were exporting to foreign countries more American manufactures than in any other year of our history.

The, fact is, Mr. Chairman, the decade from 1850 to 1860 was one of peace and general prosperity. —Extracts from speech of James A. Garfield in the House March 6, 1878. The republican conventions up to this year have pledged their party to “correct the inequalities of the tariff, and reduce taxation,” but their Senators and Representatives have stood in the way and opposed the reform promised.— If thetariff of 1846 gave to this country a much heavier exportation than importation trade, is it not reasonable to suppose that a reform in that direction will bring about the same state of affairs? That reform has not been accom. plish is due to the opposition £of the Republican Senate and representatives.

The assemblage of gentlemen who voted for Harrison in ’36 and ’4O, held at the Opera House, last Saturday, was not very large, and while we do not agree with them we do not impugn their motives.— Suppose the.e “nice old gentlemen” were to question the motive which actuated our dear brother James of the ‘Democrat!’ say prior to 1874, then in ’74, then in ’76, then in ’B6, then in ’BB ? W ell, it would be very cruel. We wo’d much prefer to be set down as a Jacksonian ‘Bourbon.” The reputed editor of the ‘Democrat suffered from indisposition during the past week, but it did not interfere wiith the usual pon derous, lengthy, windy editorials" The voice of Jacob, and the hands’ also, are discernible.

Sensational advertising proved a failure, and ‘sample’ papers, in the interest of advertisers, is to be distributed free. Evidently Brother James finds it mighty hard work to convii.ee the Democracy of Jasper county that he is a ‘Si-mon-Pure Democrat.’ Our old-time friend Rob’t McClinto ck, while on his way to at tend the reunion of the 20ih Ind regiment, of which he was a veter an, last Saturday, met with a sad accident and loss. He was accom panied by his wife, and in attempt ing to cross the railroad track, near Yeoman, in a buggy, was run into by an approaching train in the death of his wife and severe injuries to himself. i
