Some Interesting Tendencies of the Times.

New York Herald: The Democratic leaders can afford to sit still while the country slowly drifts in their direction. The people made a nrstake last autumn when they voted for a re', publican policy, and are beginning to see it. * * * * * * He (Mr. Harrison) represents certain party policies, however, which he is bound to carry out. He will undoubtedly be true to his convictions, and there is the danger, for the more he insists on carrying out those convictions the worse it will be for the country. Hamilton, the father of the republican party, was an aristocrat. He had no sympathy with the governing masses, always distrusting them, and preferred a monarchy to a republic. He had very little faith in the perpetuity of American institutions, because he despised what are known as “the people.” He felt that the moneyed class should be the ruling class and that the’mastes ought to be kept in the background. Mr. Harrison’s party has inherited that conviction and represents it at this moment. Under the rule of that party the rich continually grow richer and the poor continually grow poorer. Its policy therefore, is a political blunder and in its last results it will become a political crime. It consistently throws its influent e in favor of the monopolist and is the natural parent of the combine. While it continues syndicates will flourish like a green bay tree and the working man will be ruthlessly sacrificed. What it calls protection is simply protection of the few, while the many are driven to strikes to obtain wages above the starvation point.

The word “pr Section” has an alluring sound; the thing it really stands for is damnable. The mill owners of Connecticut and Massachusetts were hoodwinked last autumn. They were told th t if the protective tariff were taken off their raw materials thev would be ruined. They therefore voted for the republican poliicy, £nd went to sleep with the feeing that they had done a pul lie service. They now see that unless they get their raw materials free of duty thev will soon have to close their works and lose what they have made.

A very great change in this respect has taken place within a few months Eastern manufacturers are in the dumps: they voted for the sword which will cut theii own throats, unless they jam it back into its sheath. They now demand a very material reduction of tariff duties. It is a matter of life and death with them. They couldn’t understand this last.year, but now th' ir decaying business has made it altogether too plain. They are penitent, but the penitence comes a little late. If they had re-established the democratic policy of a lower tariff their business would now be booming. They want a larger market for their products. If they eoulu get access to the markets of the whole world they would undersell all competitors and their mills might be run on full time with profit to the owners and working--n en alike. But the republican bo ses won’t admit this, and so the mill owners must dodge bankruptcy if they can and the laborers must keep from starving if they can. It is not Mr. Harrison’s fault. He is a good man with a bad theory, that is all. The democrats have b lea sneer* ed at by party workers because the last campaign was an “educational’ one, in which the democratic party was knocked out. All right. Mr. Harrison’s four years will also be educational, and when they end the people will refuse to be the cat’s paws of mo-

nopohsts any longer. Then the republican party, with its protective humbuggery, will be sent flying. The people are learning their lesson very rapidly. B. Forsythe, of the Chicago Bargain Store, went to the city this week to buy a stock of Clothing and Shoes.

Tht Indiana Democratic Editorial Associationjat its recent meeting at Maxinkuckee, adopted this i resolution: “This association is of the opinion that the city and county officials should purchase sup plies for their offices from local establishments, when the same can be furnished # at equitable rates. ” And yet these same Democratic editors are frantically advocating a directly opposite Nation air obey, insisting that the cheap ’abw manufacturers of the world shall be bro ight in o direct and even competition with the better paid labor

manufacturers of this country, and that sums of money shall be taken out of this country to pay for foreign goods that could as well be made and bought at home. Such resolutions as the above put free trade Democratic editors in a deep hole. Th j protection doetrine is good for them and their localities and a great deal better for tne Nation at large.—Logans port Journal. The Rensselaer Republican sees a ‘pointer’ in the above and copies it with avidity. We see a ‘pointer’ too, of a different nature from

that seen by our neighbor. The Democratic Association is correct in the opinion expressed that “if the Rensselaer Republican has *he facilities, and will furnish the work required to the officers of the county at the rate fcr which it can be obtained in Lafayette, Logansport or Indianapolis,—equitable rates —the Board of Commissioners should give it the preference/' This would be right and proper, and is all that is asked by the Indiana Democratic Editorial Associa* tion. The balance o f the Journal’s article is simply an argument from a monopolistic standpoint. The Democracy believe that this country has all the facilities within its limits, aided by Tariff Reform—free raw material and tariff for revenue only—to successfully compete with any country on the face of the globe, thus increase trade and producduction, provide steady emplo,menc and insure better wages to labor.

Look out for ths biggest bar-> gams you ever saw in a new and complete stock of Clothing, next week, at the Chicago Bargain Store.

Protecting Home Interests.

The Town Board of Rensselaer has passed an ordinance requiring transient concerns like the “Chicago Bankrupt Store” to pay a li* cense of $ 0 a week, $25 per month or 8100 for six months. This is practieal common sense and a step which no town board should be afraid to take on account of sentimental free trade talk. A town has a right to legislate m the int erests of its own citizens, and bankrupt stores, junk shops and peddlers, unless restricted, a”e prejudicial to the interests of the town. They unsettle trade, discourage investments and impair the reputation of the loc?l market. They are here a brief season and are gone again, leaving the regular trade, upon which the community depends the year round, to pick up what they have left and to make the best of the dull season. The mercantile interests of a town subject to these spasmodic raids without restraint will naturally deteriorate, foi the merchants who have invested their all in one place, paying their taxes there and

contributing to every enterprise for the general good, cannot be expected to adopt the metk ids of these transient concerns and at the same time build up a permanent trade. It is impossible, and a town thus afflicted will soon find its trade reduced “transient” basis. Therefore it is entirely proper that defensive measures should be taken against such a state of things. The cry of ‘ sell where you please and buy where you please” sounds well on paper, but let a town be thrown open to peddlers and merchandise fakirs, and it will see the mos' desirable class of its trade pleasing to buy elsewh re. The Herald is m favor of a wise piotective tariff in local as well as na-

tional affairs and believes that a little discrimination in favor of the home dealer as against the tramp is strictly in order.—Mon>* ticello Herald. W e arejopposed to the theory of protection as advocated by the Herald and indorsed by the Republican. It may ba very correct and proper to declare that “a town has a right to legislate in the interest i of its own citizens,” but that depends altogether upon the char acter of the legislation. If it is designed to secure “the greatest to the greatest number” it is all right, but if it be for the sole lenefit of the few to the detriment of the man - the enrichment of the few at the expense of he many; if it be on the theory of radical national tariff legislation—to create a few millionaires at the expense and to the impoverishment of millions of consumers, jt is all wrong. W e entertain a high rega*d-fori our merchants, and make no war on them. We believe they can >uy as low, and sell as cheap as any others. They—particularly

those f them who have insisted loud and long for tariff reform — should not ask a republican board, even it has the power, whish we which we are satisfied it has not, to enforce an ordinan. e so excessively oppressive as that said to have been passed, in their interest, and in opposition to th e interests of the great mass residing in the town and in the country for miles adjacent who do their trading at this point. At the next meeting of the Boai d the question will possibly be raised as to the adoption of the ordinance. With a full under standing of the measure, and all the proceedings connected with it, we desire to have the members of the Board on record in thia matter. An attempt wa* recently made to have an ordinance similar to the one in question passed by the Town Board of Monticello, but it was very sensibly kicked higher than Gilroy’s kite.

There is a story told of Webster •’’hieh shows how mountains and men may alike become impressive. Webster and other statesmen from Washington were spending a few days in the White Mountains. Webster had set out from the inn afoot before his companions that he might meditate alone in the presence of all this grandeur. Thin Icing they had lost the great statesman, they inquired of a farmer if he had seen Mr. Webster pass that way. He replied: “I know not if his name is Webster, but there went by here but a little while ago a man as mighty as any of these hills.” Smoke the Mascot.

T. J. McCoy, of Rensselaer, has several horses entered for show and speed. Mr. McCoy served as judge in the races yesterday. His knowledge of rules and horses makes him well qualified for such. —Lafayette Journal.
