Hon. Leon Bailey has been appointed to the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. E. B. Sellers.

A Milwaukee dispatch says: ‘TheMiller‘s convention has adopt ed a cutting down the output of flour one-half during the month of January? And as the price of flour goes skyward the American laborer can spend his Christmas in reflecting?upon the beauties of protec don. Furthermore the price for the farmer's grain will not be enhanced b ’ the inc?eased cost of flour. How lovely is the Tariff add its handmaiden —the Trust.

One by one the campaign lies come home to roost. James Russell Lowell, ex-minister to England, than whom a more truthful man lives not, says that some lime ago he investigated the sentiments ot English manufacturers in relation to tariff reform in this counti y. When that question became so prominent in this country in the late campaign he again went among them to confirm his former impressions. He 1 found that they looked with disfavor upon any reform of the American tariff, believing that a reduction, and especially free raw material, as tencTing to give the markets of the world to the push, energy and genius of the American people. We do wonder if our farmers will leern in the next four years that they wer humbugged, deceived and made of In the last campaign by the robberj trusts, corpoaations and eombinations 9 The Signal.

THROWING OFF THE MASK

The Signal: Some of the switchmen who para ed the stroets of Indianapolis before election, swi if;ing ?heir lanterns and cheering ustily for “protection to American lebor/’ are now walking the same streets seeking employment to keep themselves and then families through the winter. Sti-red, perhaps, by the word-painting oi high-tariff orators; deceived by the si phistry of high-tariff writers; these m c n considered the present, sc coon aft r the triumph achieved for the ‘American system of protection to labor,“ a good time to ask their employers for a reasonable increase of rages.— They reasoned well D’d not the railway come in palace cars and give thousands and tnousands of dollars to the campaign fund? Were not themselves, in common with all laboring p ople, objects of special regard with nearly all the railway magnates, from Depew and Vanderbilt down to the superintendents? Surely, while their hearts were flushed with the joy and pride of victory, these great and good men would not refuse a slight advance in wages that w uld place switchmen here on equal footing with men ot the same calling in other cities? The request was made. They were told that they must b. • con tent with wages ’eceived Laboring people could live cheaper in Indianapolis than in Chicago, consequently switchmen in this city could afford to work for 20 per "cent, less money than their lake city brethren. One switchman, who had id-ms of his own, then asked why, siA.ce the yards and depots are operated here at less expense than in Chicago, the railways did not furnish cars and ship freight to Indianapolis business men for 20 per cent, less than is charged Chicago business men? — He was answered with chilling silence. The companies refused to arbitrate A str.’ke followed and the roads triumphed, and refuse employment to the men who went out. The switchmen now have abundanee of leisure in which to meditate over the events and spne hes of the past few months, and it is hoped that they h ve learned a lesson that will not be forgotten four years hence. American labor should aid will be protected, but it must protect itself; it must deal with corporations precisely as corporations dealt with it. It will require years of agitation and education together with thorough compact organization to reach that point, but th t time is surely coming, fraught with danger to our institutions though it be In ahu idred instan :es since the election corporate greed has laid aside its mask, -nd exercising a power given it by the very people it first coddles ai d then kills, forced the American laborers a little nearer the level of Europe’s serfs, against v horn it professes to protect them.

kcccrJing to + he latest newspaper directories the total issue of daily newspapers in the United States for the year 1888 was 1,481,844,000. Of this number The Indiana State Sentinel printed 1,724,400 copies—a larger number than any weekly paper in this section of the country. During 1889 it will probably reach a much larger figure, and in order to show a just appreciation of the s <pport given The Sentinel, the Editor has offered a prize of SSO to tne person who sends to The Sentinel office, before January 1,1889, the best “guess” on President Harrison s cabinet. Each guess must be accompanied by the sum of one dollar for which The Sunday Sentinel will be mailed (postage prepaid) to any address, for the t -rm of six months; or The Indiana State Sentinel (weekly) will be naailed (postage prepaid) to any address for the term of one year. Here is a splendid opportunity for A-gents. An energetic solicitor can make from $2.50 t» 5.00 per day if he works hard. No better inducement could be offered than the prize of SSO which it is proposed! to the person making the best guess on President-elect Hai 4 - risous cabinet.

‘em ketch the tail of another un in bis mouth. Then a third un k-tched the first un‘s tail in his mouth, an‘ so on till the hull ‘leveu was strung < ut, holdin, onter one another's tails. ‘ ‘W'atin the name of Sam Hill is a doin' now?’ says 1. ‘I wa‘n,t long a findin‘ out, for the big paint‘er th‘i had kjm a t*arin‘ in ‘mongst t‘others backed up agin the leader of the ‘leven onforiim ones in the line, and the ‘leadin onfortnit un grabbed his tail. Ez soon ez he had did that the big paint'er started started the percession, an‘ w‘at were he a dri_* of, ‘Squire? Havin' his eyesight all right he were ji. t a leadin his ‘leven blind companions outen that patch, b'gosh, an‘ a marchin‘ of ‘em home! That were a sight, ‘Squire, wuth t. avelin* a good many miles to see, an‘ were so techin* th‘t the tears tumbled do -n my cheeks bigger'n white beans. ‘Bein' cur‘ous to see w‘at mowt be the upshot o‘ this sing'lar p‘int in nat‘ra* hist‘ry, I follered along quiet like, an‘ the percession marched z solem ez a funer‘l through the wood. I had fnllered ‘em mebbe a mile w‘en suddenly Coldy Hardoate, who had been skinmn' in the neighborhood for some fun with his gun, stepped out from behind a tree. The sight o' the percession of unfortnit paint‘ers didn't seem to be ez tetchm' to him ez it were to me. He unly looked at it fn* a couple o‘ seconds, an‘ then an idee struck him. He up with his gun an‘ whanged away. The fust thing I see were the leadin' pain‘ter tearin' like a streak o' Tightnin' on thro' the woods, an'with no more tail to him th'n a doe rabbit. Coldy had shot it off slick and clean, an' it staid right in the mouth of the leadin' one o' the ‘leven unfortnit paint'ers.

‘The percession kim to a stop. Coldy steps up an‘ grabs the tail he had shot off of the paint'er ez were leadin' the t'other uns, an' starts aeead, stiddy an' slow. J.he percessian started arter him, an' he led the hult o‘ them ‘leveu paint'ers straight to his cabin, whar he knocked ‘em on the head, one arter t'other, an' put an eend to their unfortnit state. I don't know wuther it were the suddint way the idee o' getherin' in them paint'ers had struck him, or w‘at it were, but jist arter eendin the mis'ry o' the ‘leventh paint'er Coldy were it with a shiver th‘t made the rafterp in the cabin rattl , an‘ ‘foie he k’d gether himsel' an‘ brace agin it, it shook the byeatb outen him, an‘ he passed over Jurdan.“
