THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.

Bousing Resolutions Adapted at the Columbia City Meeting.

Columbia City, Juno 13... Pursuant to a call issued by John C Lawrence, president of the Farmers’ Allience of Indiana, the differ eni lodges organizes in this county met in this city on Saturday to form a county organization. Mr. Lawrence, who resides in this county, was made chairman and Mr. A. B. Goble, secretary. The attendance was very large and was a representative farmers’ meeting. After a constitution and byelaws had been adopted, the following resolutions were presente i ana adopted with enthusiasm: Whereas, we, members of the Far piers’ alliance, and farmers of Whitley county, realizing that in the past a discrimination has made against us and in favor of the non-produeing classes, and, whereas, the prosperity of the whole country is directly contin* gent on the prosperity of those who cultivate the soil, and who make up the largast element of our population; be it, therefore, Resolved, That we deem it our duty as well as our privilege to meet together in this mau ier and study the questions affecting our interests, that we may no longer be instruments in the hands of designing. men to accomplish our own ruin. Resolved, That the relief we seek and demand is to be found in the election of representatives, state and national, who have a disposition to represent our interests and have the capacity and influence to do so.

Resolved, That we heartily commend the last legislatnre of the s' ate of Indiana for taking the initiative toward accomplishing one of the prime objects of the alliance, by creating a sanitary commission for the protection of the live stock of the state against contagious and infectious diseases. That ne further commend that body for the passage of the law reducing the rate of interest on school fund loans, and also for the school book and election laws. Resolved, That we demand at the hands of the next legislature, the election of a TT. S. senator, who is not only opposed to an increase of tariff taxation, but who favors a reduction on the lines marked out by this order, namely, to first re lieve the gieat producing class from the burden of taxation on articles of common necessity. Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to all forms of class legislation, and we hold that the granting of subsidies to one industry to be raised and paid by another is such legislation. And we condemn the system of granting bounties to the producers of certain commodities as unconstitutional and in conflict with the eternal principles of right and justice. We hold that if after thirty years of fostering care on the part of the government, sugar cannot be produced in this country at a profit, without demanding a bounty of 2 cents on every pound produced, then we say that it is time we were taking the hint that God never intended this to be a sugar-producing nation. Resolved, That the bill now be** fore the U. S. senate, which by its provisions increases tariff taxation meets with our earnest protest. We scorn the increase of the tariff on agricultural products as a bit of hypocritical, vote*-catching clap trap, well knowing that any amount of alleged protection on agricul* tulral products by no possibility could have any effect on the price of agricultural products as long as home supply is greater than home demand.

*‘A ntK ABERRANCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.

The democratic sky in Indiana ia unusually bright. Reports from every section of the state are re* splendent with the rays of democratic harmony and republican dissatisfaction witn Harrison’s administration. The Warsaw Re* publican, one of the leading republican papers of the state, tells its party that the g. o. p. in Indiana “is in no jonditioi. to antagonize anybody,” and that “it must be confessed that the outlook for the future of the partv is not anywhere near as bright as after the last presidential election, when every indication pointed to twenty-five more years of republican rule.” With a united front, the democracy will sweep the country this fall and give the party an advantageous lead in the great race of ’92.

The Chicago Bargain Store is selling goods at less than cost—what they will cost you elsewhere. “Strawberries, ma’am?” queried the huckster, as she stood in the door of her house in Jersey City. “How much!” she cautiousl v inquired. “Twelve cents a quart, ma’am, or two quarts for twenty-five cts.” “Oh! Well,l’ll take two qts.” “Exactly, ma’am.” He measured out th« berries, got his quarter, and drove off, while she disappeared in the in the house. She came out again after a couple of minutes, however, looked up and down the street, and not being able to see him any where she shook her fist in the diLection he took and ex-* claimed: “ ’ll know him by the wart on his nose, and I’ll get even with him if it takes a year!” The best improved harvester binder manufactured can be inspected at C. A. Roberts’ implement house, Rensselaer Ind.— Come and see if I have not told the truth once, as you all know it is hard for implement men to do ibis. Yours, C. A. Roberts.

Protectionists tell : us that a tariff is for the benefit of the farmer. We have had a high tariff since 1868 and yet wheat has dropped from $1.75 and $2 per bushel to the low price of 65 to 80 cents per busheL Hogs have come down from $5.50 per cwt. to $3.25 and cattle from $6 to $3.75 per cwt. Nearly all theothor farm products have shared the same fate under the high tariff.

Ladies embroidered unmade suits 80 cts to $5.50. Chicago Bargain Store, President Cleveland had other ideas of official propriety and duty, and rotused all gifts of any money value during his term of office. They were returned with thanks. The slot is now open at the white house; put in your offering and draw a return prize. For a studebaker wagon, the world’s best, go to C. A. Roberts. Congressman Tom Browne, rep. says: Nuther wheat nor corn is imporfed. Our home markets are not invaded to any extent by foreign corn or whjat. Neither tariff or bounty .would afford these industries protection. They need no protection. ■- «»»■— - Keep cool, buy a fan, a light weight dress, or suit, a summer hat, and a pair of slippers. Chicago Bargain Store. We know now what is meant by “the late war.” Ingalls is late fighting it- Philadelphia Times. TAKE NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that from this date drayage will be charged on lumber to any point within the corporation limits at the rate of 15 cts. per load, orpart of load. F. Wolfe & Co. Nowels & Robinson. Rensselaer, Ind., June 12,1890.

If there* is a farmer in Jasper county that wants the best mowing; machine on the earth you can fine it at C."A. Roberts’ implement house, who guarantees that any boy twelve years old can lift the cutter bar. Any man can raise the bar without touching the lever with his hands. Call and sea if this is not a fact. The machine is sold on its merits. No cheap, shabby good , but the best. What you sqe, you know; and what you read and hear, there is to be allowance made for. Thanking you for past favors, I remain Yours, Respectfully, C. A. Roberts.

A Tax on Raw Material a Tax on Labor* “None so blind as those who will not see.” That a tariff on raw ma tsrial not only tends to but is bound to lower wages I can prove in a very few words. You live on the other side of the line, where they don’t tax wool. You use 6,000 runds per day in your factory. live on this side of the line, where they do t.x wool (say 10 cents per pound), and I use the same number of pouads you do. You have just S6OO per day the advantage of me. The only way 1 can compete with you is to lower my wages just that much, or make my employes do that much mere work. A man, horse, or mule who can’t see that should be hit on the head with a hammer, and it is almost as plain that the tariff is a tax collected off the many for the benefit of the fe «v. I claim to be the originator of that expression, and first used it in a short letter to your paper during the Cleveland campaign of 1884 But ac* cording to my own argument, I should have been hit on the head with a hammer, for I used to be a strong tariff man, but I only had heard one side. Willis H. Law** rence, in Philadelphia Record. ■ *■■■ ol e 1 1 -■' ■ i ■— i *■ Special bargain in clothing, shoes and slippers, for the month of June Chicago Bargain Store.

Why the Fanner Stays Poor. Philadelphia Times: But the chief cause of the farmer’s lack of prosperity lies in another direction Low prices for his orops would not be so bad provided he was able to buy the goods he consumes correspondingly cheap. But when he must pay out of his small income war taxes on all or nearly all the goods he buys he can never hope to be prosperous. With the price

of his sugar increased 50 per cent, and that of the clothing for himself and family and the tools and machinery he us. *s in his daily occupation increased in a still great-* er ratio by a tariff maintained to foster trusts and monopolies and pile rp money to be squandered by politicians and jobber.-’, he will be compelled to scratch a poorman’s head indefinitely.

A good quality of binding twine, prices reasonable, at C. A. Roberts’. Call and inspect it. Young Jim Blaine has just been blackballed by the Athletic Club at Washington. It would be a queer club that didn’t blackball young Jim. Old Jim was blackballed by the great Democratic Club in 1884, Lawns and Chadies 4 cts. per yard to 15 cts per yd. Chicago Bargain Store. Reed, McKinley, or some otherfood protectionist should call Mr. Uaine to one side and whisper to him that he is making sad havoc with the “home market argument.”

Go to C. A. Roberts for a fine line of buggies, carts and spring wagons. ' *HB XO3DRHN SAUL This is the most remarkable coi version in the annals of American politics.—Boston Post. The Secretary of State— even Blaine, who frothed at the month daring the campaign of 1388 whenever jfcfce Mills fpll was refer**

red to—has come out flat-footed in favor of free trade with South America.—Buffalo Times. The only fault to be found with Mr. Blaine’s reasoning is that it applies with as much justice to Europe as to America. If trade with the south is a good thing for the United States, so is trade with the countries across the Atlantic, and there are far more accessible. —Buffalo Courier.

Mr. Blaine's conversion comes late, and yet it was so with Saul of Tarsus, who afterwards became the ablest and the most zealous of the apostles. We hope that Mr. Blaine’s life will be spared long enough to undo some ot the great vrong he has done awhile leading he protection hosts to lapine ana oppression —St. Paul Globe. To those who have persistently and logically opposed high taxa;ion, his outspoken repudiation of the extreme grounds his party is committed to on that question by ;he McKinley bill is of no moment. . 3ut to that party it is demoralizing. There is music all through the republican camp, and it fs very discordant music, too Toledo Bee

Mr. Blaine has made sqch a ten strike with the democracy by his enunciation of his views upou the tariff and trade and reciprocity, and all th it sort of thing, that if it was not that a whole lot of good men like Cleveland and Hill and Mills and Carlisle and Palmer were in ahead of him he might run on the democratic platform next trip.—Kansas City limes, ilr. Blaine is freely quoted as a lerce opponent of the McKinley fill in private conversation. But le refuses to be interviewed for lublication ar to the truth of the eport that he said to Allison and illackburn: “The McKinley bill : s an outrage, the most dangerous f not the most infamous measure that was ever concocted by any party.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A Day of Miracles

The Republicans Hint at Free Trade-What Blaine's Letter Means. New York Hertld: The days of miracles are gone, says the cynic. The cynic, however, is mistaken, as usual. A large assortment of miracles may be found close at hand, suited to every taste, political and Aesthetic. Here is the last one, to which we point with pride. Secretary Blame recommends that the President be empowered to declare practical free trade between the United States and the various republics in our vicinity, and the President transmits this letter to Congress wite his approval. A miracle ihdeed! But hark! Seventeen republics on this Western Hemisphere can have free trade with us, but not the effete monarchies of Europe. The line must be drawn somewhere, so Mr. Blaine draws it there.

But you ask, what becomes of the principle of protection sopromireut in the Chicago pletform of 1888, which reads: “We are un eompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection. We protest against its destruction. Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to all interests except those of the usurer and the Sheriff”—whatfbecomes of that noble and Heaven-born principle, eh? Well, that’s the miracle. That is to say, the miracle consists of a little plain Democratic sense per<» colating through the Republican brain. You wouldn’t have tho’tit possible in 1888, but m 1890 there it is. Mr. Secretary Blaiue and Mr. President Harrison need only take one more step in that direction and we shall very gladly propose their names for at least honorary membership in the great and glorious Democratic party. But, great Scott! what a blow these two gentlemen have deliver ed at the McKinley bill! It almost shivers our timbers. : i
