A LITERARY SENSATION.

“Uncle i'om’s Cabin” has certainly “broke loose”! The copyright on this most famous of American novels, by Mrs. Stowe, has recently expi* ed, which trees its publication from the monopoly of the high-priced publishers, and though in anticipation of this fact they have within a few months greatly reduced its price, now that it is really “unchained” the consequences are something surprising. John B. Alden, Publisher, of New York, issues several editions, selling them only direct (not through agents or booksellers); one in good type, paper covers, tor 5 cents, sent post-paid, cr the same bound in cloth for 10 cents with postage 7 cents extra; also an excellent large-type edition, on fine paper, handsomely bound in cloth for the price of 25 cents, postage 10 cents. Surely a copy of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” will soon be found in every home where it is not already. Mr. Alden sends a 32-page pamphlet describing many of his publications free, or a catalogue of 128 pages of choice books, a veritable “literary gold mine” for booh lovers, ft r 2 certs.

INDIANAPOLIS SENT NEL, Indianapelis, inch

A copy of the Indiana Almanac for 1893 has just been received by ns. It is without question the most complete and best work of its kind that has been issued in the State. The main feature? of the work are'deserving of extended notice. The World’s Fair, which is to be held this year, will no doubt be visited by almost every citizen of Indiana. This important subject is fully outlined in twenty-eight pages of printed matter, sho wins? cuts of the buildings and descriptions of all the interesting features and exhibits. Complete tables and Tariff Duties and increases are noticed. A reliable table of the Indiana Post-offices, with their salaries. This constitutes reference volume for those interested in the new appointments expected after March 4th. The United States Government, with the names and salaries of every official therei’ , from President down, are given A full list of United States Senators and Representatives are furnished. Tables of population of States, cities, etc., and other matters of paramount importance ere also set fully forth. A concise collection of general information on the recent political revolution is perhaps the most interesting featu’eof this work. The vote of Indir ana by counties on both State and National tickets is scheduled, aad separate tables are tiven on legislative districts The great result by popular vote an • electoral votes is also shown For the benefit of handy reference the platforms of the four leading parties in 1892 are appended.

DEMOCRACY IN THE WAR.

It has been long the boast of the republican party that it furnished the|Northern Army, who went in as republicans, fought as republicans and oame out as republicans when they came out at all. That had it not been for the republican party there would have been no Northern army. That a very large per cent, of Northern soldiers were republicans, that not to ex„ ceed twenty per c lit. of all the soldiers of the Northern army were democrats. [T This is the gag and lathers oread on for years. As the fog has lifted the figures in the gra s are discovered to bd standing out so plainly ana boldly that every person who wishes cm see for himself as te how much truth or how rnuoi of falsehood there has been in these many years made and repeated from one end of the country to the other, as to the numerical ; strength of the republicans in nort ern armies.— Here are a few figures obtained at the War Department at Washington and from the records in different states, as the 3ame are now being oveihauled, worth noting.and putting aside for future reference. From April. 1861, to April, 1865, the New England states furnisled a total of 365,162 soldiers of whom 144, 040 were democrats and 219,122 were republicans. Taking 1864 as an average the republican vote of New England 325,747 and the aemocratic vote 189,904. Compare the number of democratic solders in the northern army from New Englana with the number of deocratic votes in the six New Engl nd states and compare these with the republican votes and republican soldiers, and the reader will see which of the two, in proportion to their strength, furnished the most fighting material. The total number of volunteers and enlistments as soldiers in the Northern army from April, 1861 to April 1865 was 2,678,967. Of these soldiers in the Northern army 1,222,006 were republicans and 1,456,907 were democrats.

The democratic volunteers from what is called the “solid south" in the Union armv and navy during the late war were 314,832*. The republican volunteers from the "solid south” Wore 35,230. Of those who volunteered into the Northern army duriug the war over all other than the southern states, 767,698 were republicans and 988,045 were democrats. The democratic majority of all who volunteered or went into the Northern army was 234,847 showing that the democratic party of the north had a larger representation in the field by more than a quarter ofi a million than did the republican, arty. The .otal Union troops from the slave states was 433,503 of whom 93,441 were blacks.

During the late war 29,000 Union prisoners died in rebel prisons, and 26,000 rebel prisoners died in Union prisons. The state of New Tork seat to the war as her portion of the troops 245,639 democrats and 203,201 republicans, making a total of 448,850 of her citizens who went forth to fight for the preservation of the Union. New Jersey sent 42,818 democrats and 33,906 republicans. Ohio sent 154,248 democrats and 158,932 republicans. Pennsylvania with her immense republican majority sc Dt 167,998 democrats ana 169,963 republicans. Wisconsin, another strong repnblioan state, was represented in the Union army by 42,035 democrats and 48,832 republicans. Illinois, another republican state, was represented in the northern army by 235,001 democrats, and 124,002 republicans. Indiana sent 109,398 democrats and 95,. 995 republicans iuto the Union army. lowa, an intense republican state, where all democrats were classed as rebels, trai tors, copperheads, lickspittles, etc., sent into th northern army 33,495 democrats and 42,747 republicans. Michigan, another very heavy republican state, was represented in the northern army by 49,803 democrats and 43,561 republicans.

Minnesota, another strong republican state, sent into the Union army 10,187 democrats and 13,833 reoub'icans. The South, or so called, furnished democrats to the northern army as follows: Florida, 1,290;] Keniucky, 74,390; Louisiana, a,224; Maryland, 44,434; Mississippi, j 545; North Carolina, 3,156; Texas, 1,965; j Virginia and West Virginia were repre-; sen ted by 30,139 democrats; while Missouri had in the northern army 02,053 democrats The total “solid south” furnished to the northern army 314,832 democrats vnd 35,- j 230 republicans, including blacks—being but 15,102 less t :an the number furnished by the super-loyal New England states. Some one has said that truth crushed to the earth will rise igain. That the eternal years of God are hers. So it is that as the returns come in or are opened so that they may be got at by those who are curious to know the facts in the case the republican party is proven to have been a great big brag and bluster from the first, even as it is a very rotten, stinking carcass at the last Hereafter, in the lace'of facts collected by the adjutant generals of the states, transmitted tothe War department for verification and examination, let no republican again say that the democrctsso’t to destroy the Union or failed in the work of preserving it.

Another thing in tils connection worthy of thought and bearing in mind for future reference. The repu> lioans have been contin ally talking of a Solid Democratic i South. They oave pounded it into the mind , of the people from every republican | platform, pulpit and news paper office in the north that the south has ever been solidly democratic and therefore all bad j continually. These persons forget that previous to the war it was the custom of the Bouthto , give whig majorities That the demand for the nomination of Bell aad Everett as j whig candidates came up from the south. That in many of the southern states and localities it was no uncommon thing for the democrats to find themselves in a mi-1 noritv, and that so-called “whigarery” had a stronger footing south of M°sou and Dixon’s line than it ever did north. Another fact worthy of remembrance is this: The popular majority against Lin- I coin and Hamlin in 1860 was 890,024; the j populai majority against McClellan and ! Pendleton in 1864 was 4<'6,812. Thenumj ber of democrats in the army shortened | the democratic vote in theJnorth,»while i the number of republicans who staid at j home swelled the republican vote in 1864. The total vote of all parties Nov. 1860, being 4,573,823. The total vote in 1864 was 4,850,000 at which time there was a large excess of democrats in the northern army operating in the south or sleeping in southern soil after hard fought battled

RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA FRIDAY AUGUST 4 1893

In 1864,| too other causes added to the republican vote. Take Indiana for instance. Provost marshals were sent into nearly every election precinct in the state; democrats were arrested o » trumped up charges and held until the electioh had passed, and were then discharged without a hearing; in many republican strongholds democrats were driven from the polls and were not permitted to vote; regiments of soldiery from ot er states, encamped jwithin this state, voted all aloeg the line.| |And these were.the methods which secured the republican majority that year.

WHITNEY FOR TARIFF REFORM.

Ex-Secretary Whit, t-y is clearly of opinion that if tariff reform is to wait for the complete rostoration of business confidence it wil have to wait a long time. He looks upon repeal of Ihe Silver purchase provision of the Sherman law as “a pal native not a panacea.” Ht savs: “The silver scare will not be long over before some other scare will begi" unless we go to the bottom of the trouble and get the business and industry of the country off the artificial basis upon which it is being conducted and upon solic ground again. The country’s prosperity will never be permanently established while an annual tax of three or four hundred millions is laid upon»its indus'ries. The silver scare once out of the way, there should be no delay about tariff reform.” There is good, solid sense in that The trade and industry of the coun try must be brought down to a solid basis before prosperity will cease to be spasmodic and enter upon a steadily progressive course Un til then one scare will follow another indefinitely. Under the existing system great branches of in dustry aie on an artificial legislat ive basis, and such a basis is ne ctssarily unstable. Those who co’d prosecute their industries better without legislative props imagine that they are dependent upon such

support and that is practically as bad as if their imaginings were realities. Each recurring election of congressmen or President brir gs its terrors,the consequences are magnified, delusive expectations are beggotten or groundless fears are excited, there is an endless alternation of elation and depression. Here is a case which illustrates the practical working of the principle: The ‘Textile World’ states that four new plush factories were established in the first half of ’92, and none at all in th<> first half of ’93. The McKinley act gave greatv ncreased protection to the Ams erican manufacture of plushes,— Great things were expected from this legislatio j. The plush industry for the supply of the American market was to be transferred to I his country. Soon the protectionist organs announced triumphantly that an English concern had-start-ed a branch plush factory in Connecticut. But long before the last presidential election these same organs printed a dispatch stating that the working force u this branch factory had bee.: reduced from 500 to 300 on account of li lit

demand, and since then the machinery for the manufacture ot plush hm been replaced by machinery for the manufacture of velvet. Very soop after the passage of the McKinley act wagep were reduced iu Pennsylvania plush factories on account of small; sales. In this case 'egislation raised hopes nd utterly failed to accomplish its purpose. The result was waste of capital anil reduction ot wages. In other cases there is a temporary realization of hopes, fol owed by fierce competition, overproduction, failures a d a dis* charge of workmen. In order to obviate some of these results com-, binations to restrict production and maintain prices have sprang up in every direction. Thesb are some of the natural fraits of our art ficial system. Under a natural system such fruits would be re. duced to a minimum, because 1 the factors entering into business caL I dilations would be fewer ard sim- ; pier, and there would be no fear | that the calculations would be vi- ; tiated by some capricious act of j congress. Mr. W hitney is not mistaken in the opinion that we must get down | from our artificial scaffolding bej fore we can expect solid and enduring prosperity, nnr.- that we ; cannot get about th? business of i knocking away the cracked aud rotting props one day too soon.

•‘A FIRM AD ENCE TO CORRECT FRINCI LES.”

REPUBLICAN LEADERS AND THE SCARE.

The action of Washington Connor in withdrawing from the New York Republican Club because of certain resolutions passed by tliat club ascribing the present financial situation to the election of Cleveland and the ascendancy of the democratic party is not only creditable to his judgment anc sense of fairness but it is a most patriotic . xample. A more un - scrupulous, unprincipled charge never was made. The democratic party is n > more responsible for the present fiuancial situation than it was responsi ble for the financial situation of 1873, \ The legislation that has brought about the present condi tion, like the leg’slation that pr§ ceded 1873, is republican legisla tion.

The iniquitous Sherman silver law and the iniquitous McKinley tariff law were republican meas ures passed by a republican congress and assented to by a repub lican president. If any legisla tion has brought upon us the financial disasters from whioh we are suffering it is the legislation of the fifty-first congress. That the Sherman law has greatly contributed to this state of affairs all financiers of ability are agreed, and the odious McKinley tariff haß been quite as potent to the same end. Eight years ago, at the beginning of Cleveland’s first term, the republicans prophesied all sorts of diro disasters as the result of democratic ascendancy. There were no statesmen in the democratic party, nor were there any democrats fitted to hold office!— They were a set oi. ignorant, uneducated and unskilful men, who had been so lon gout of power that it was not possible that the government could staud under their bungling administration of it! Then the charge was made that everythi. g would be turned over to the south and that wo would see the confederacy in the ascendancy ai d all the resftlts of the wav swept away. All sorts of maliguant lies were told.

But the country swept onward to he highest prosperity it has known and when Cleveland surrendered he executive mansion to his successor the financial standing of the government and of the. nation was unquestioned. The national debt lad been reduced, there was a great surplus in the treasury and the current in business channels flow’d smoothly. In tour years this was all changed by the addition of an unwise financial policy on the part of the republican party, and some people have been plunged into an abyss of gloom. And now I lie authors of these calamities charge hem to the democratic party! For colossal impudence this has never leen equaled. Besides their unwise and wicked

legislation, the , t publican leaders, from Harrison dow", are res r<«nsible for the present state of alarm in the public n.ind because of their efforts to create that alarm. From the moment Cleveland entered the White House they commenced to clamor for an extra session, so that “the worst might be known.” r,, hey assumed that, whatever legislation would be adopted, it could not be other than bad legislation. They declared that it would unsettlo the business of the whole country, and that no certainty was assured to business men engaging in new ens terprises. By their cries and their appeals they frightened capitalists - always timid —and encouraged manufacturers to reduce their output and to narrow their enterprises. And now in the very midst of the fear that has seized so many business circles, as a result of their panic breeding, they have the impudence to ascribe the inevitable consequences of their own bad policies to the democratic part /. On the fulfillment to the letter of democratic pledges depends in great measure the future prosperity of the country. The laws that have been made for the classes st the expense of tne masses must be wiped out

Wonderful, Wonderful Salve.

The boss liar now lives in Jersey villa, HI., and here is his latest effort, which he told to an admiring crowd the other day: “There was a man in Southern ll* linois,” said he, “who invented a salve whloh he claimed was just the thing for cuts. If you cut your finger off, apply the salve and the finger would soon grow out to its normal length. One of the residents of the town was somewhat skeptical, so he thought he wonld try it on his dog’s tall. He cut off the tall and applied the salve, when almost spontaneously It commenced growing, and In a few minutes was as long as ever. In the meantime his little boy had pioked up the end of the tall and pat on some salve, and both the boy and the man were vary much surprised to see a full-sized dog grow out from the end of the tail. The father and hia hoy are new dead.*
