The Legislature in Washington is in doubt. Democrats and Republicans claim it. The Republicans carried Noith and South Dakota and Washington, and the Democrats Montana at the recent election. The public debt increased during the months of July and August $7,394,000. Turing the corresponding months of the four years of the Cleveland administration the decrease was as follows: 1885 $11,541,842 1886 10,959,802 1887 9,654,371 1888 11,461,974

Several judges of the Superior Court of Indianapolis have decided that it is not illegal for can din dates to contribute money to pay for printing tickets, polling wards or other clerical work. But it is held illegal to hire wagons * and drivers, challengers, persons t« swear in voters, to hold poll b oks or tickets, or to direct or manage wagons or drivers. It is considered leg 1 to hire wagons without drivers to aid voters in getting to the polls. This euts down the hustling that has been in vogue on election day for years to a very 1 narrow margin. Verily the darf of the boodle politician are nearly o»f*r. The millenium is near, too.

The sugar situation stands in about this way : There are duties on both raw and refined sugars. The duty on raw sugar has an eles ■sent of protection in it, but is, in effect, a revenue duty, yielding over $55,000,000 to the treasury. On the other hand, the duty on refined sugar is pro ective almost to the prohibitory point. It yields only about $1,500,000 to the treasury. Repealing the duty an raw sugar would benefit the trustsRepealing the duty on refined sugar would smash it, and cheapen the cost of this prime necessity of life to eveiyone of the 63,000,000 of consumers in this country. The people consume about 3,000.000,000 pounds of sugar annually, and the tariff duty enables the trust to extort at least $30,000,000 a yeai from them. The way to break the trust is to repeal the duty on refined sugar, or cut it down to such a point as will admit of the impor-’ tation of refined sugar in competition with the product of the trust. —Pittsburgh Post.

The las£ Legislature appropria* ted $5,000 for the purp >se of encouraging Farmers’ Institutes throughout the State, allowing to every County Institute held the sum of S4O to defray expenses of same. Jasper County is connected with the 12th Agricultural District, and J. M. Boggs, of Lafay-. e tte, is Superintendent of Fawners’ I nstitutes therein. T>. H. Xec man and other prominent farmers in this county, are agitating the ques-

tion of an Institute this fall, and we suggest that they push the matter.

Editor Sentinel: In last week’s issue of the Republican we find the following: “St. John * * *■ attempted, in the democratic portion of his speech last Monday night (afternoon ) to make his readers (hearers) believe that to the success of the republican party iast fall was due the fact that oite are vorth, from 15 to 18 cents per bushel. Now if the martyr (St. John) is right|in|attributing the low pi ioe of oats to the republican party,, it is evident that to the same party belongs the credit of the very satisfactory price of corn, the high price of pork, ;say $4.50 live weight, the uniformly high price of eggs this season, the good price of butter and the fair prices of horses. Cattle are pretty cheap but they got that way in Cleveland’s time. Hay also is down low, but that, too,, went down in democratic days, and the outlook now is for better-prices.” Such articles as the at ove Will not mislead the farmers, -n ho keep well posted on the prices of farm products and also upon all articles of merchandise which he is compelled to p -rehasc. Me also knows that one year ago oats was worth abov t 25 cents per bushel, and that the price of 4 bushels of oats would purchase 16 lbs. of common light brown sugar, and that at pr< Bent under Harrison and protection it requires 6£ bushels to pay for 10 lbs. of the same grade, making a saving under a Democratic administration of 2| bushels of o>ts and six pounds of sugar. The price of corn at Chicago is 31 cents per bushel which is several cents less than the price of corn at this time last year.— Pork is stated to be about $4.50 live weight, but the Chicago quotation places the price at from $3.90 to $4.75, from which deduct the cost of transportation, <fcc., which would bring the grade of hogs raised by tke Jasper county farmers down to from $3.50 to $3.90, home market, making the Plioe from 75 cents to $1 less than the prices of one year ago. The* Indianapolis markets of Wednes. day 1 quote butter at from 5 to 10 bent*,- which is very satisfactory indeed from a protectionist point of view, but nevertheless we farm * ers ‘know that the, same can not be produced at that price. The farmers alsu know that i horse that will bring SIOO now would haye sold one year ago at from $126 to $l6O. Fat cows and heifers sold on the local market and to ship-, pers in 1887 and 1888 at’from $2 to $2.75 per hundred, live weight, the same now selling at from $1.50 to $2, and some bunches have sold as low as from $1.25 to $1.40, and other cattle in proportion, making a loss to the farmer and stockman of 75 cents per hundred. The only farm product that brings a fair price at present, which might be credited to tme repubublican party, is eggs, and the fact that the high price of poultry last year induced the farmeis to sell off poultry to such an extent that the supply this year is not equa to the demand, we suspect ha something to do with present ' rices. However, we would adv : : e the market reporter of the Republican to post himself on the mw ets before attempting to write an other article as false as the th eon he attempts to prov >. Very truly,

VOORHEES’ SPEECH.

everything composed in whole or in part of wool; on the clothing of women and chil dren; on their cloaks, shawls, dolmans, jackets* talmas, ulsters, and other garments of similar character; on every description of ready made woolen clothing, and on every other form or fashion of raiment containing wool, known to the wants and uses of the human family. Such a bill is to my mind a bill of abominations. It presents the revolting spectacle of an increase of taxation and an increase of revenue amounting, according to careful estimates, to $3, 842,681.45 per annum, derived from the highest necessities of human existence, and all to be extorted in a measure of legislation which has for its avowed object a large reduction of taxes in order to prevent a vast surplus from accumulating in the treasury, as it has done in the past ana is now doing.” These details of gigantic and well-known wrong and injustice may seem needless in this age of light and information, but as me ministers of the gospel dwell from day to day, and from year to year, without cessation or forbearance, on all the details of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, so will those engaged in the work of reform, on all proper occasions, unsparingly arraign the hideous iniquities of the present system of protection to wealth by the enslavement of labor. This is a struggle on the part of the people for the overthrow of a vast, vicious, and immoral system of legislation, a system powerfully intrenched behind the bulwarks of untold millions, and so strong in its seductive allurement that it has drawn into its wide spread and dazzling folds thousands of men of upright lives, high moral sentiments, rare mental cultivation, and brilliant and facinating personal qualities. All this I know and concede, but the worship of mammon, the blaz ing glitter of mountains of gold has blinded them by the excess of its light, and they have, a perverted vision or no vision at all. of a true and correct morality between them selves and their oppressed, tax-paying fellow men. They strain at gnats and swaUow camels with every breath they draw. They see motes in the eyes of everybody else, and are totally unconscious of the enormous beams in their own. In their soft velvet pews at church on Bun day they recall with right* eons indignation the theft of a bacon ham ths night before by the father of an impoverished family, while their palatial homes, their ships, their banks, their bank accounts, and their bonds, are all the productions of dishonest laws, and sustained by not a dollar of their own earnings.

The story of Alexander the Great and the robber was once found in our school-books, and it ought to be found there again as a lesson to the present generation. The mighty Macedonian conquerer was engaged in plundering the nations of the then known earlh. He sacxed their cities, ravaged and deso*. lated their fields, and laid heavy tribute on the downtrodden millions whose countries he conquered. \\ tien at the zenith of his career, when he deemed himself moi e than m ral and took rank with the gods, a robber was arraigned in his presence for sentence and death. The doomed and desperate culprit, however, turned accuser, ami uiMounced the conquerer nd oppressor of manaind as a far prer.+er robber, plunderer, spoliator, highwayman, thief andgseoun drel than himself. We are dealing at this tixue and in this country with the Alexander the Great of tariff spoliation, with the arrogant and poworful monarchs of the mouev power, the colossal magnitude of whose robberies make them appear as a system of government, rather than as the abominable crimes they are.
