Real Estate Transfers, for the Week Ending August 21, 1893.

In his message, President Cleveland says “the financial situation may delay but that it must not prevent tariff reform. ” The nomination of ex-Congress-man Patton, of Remington, Ind., us register of the Land Office of the Eastern district of the Cheroo kee outlet, has been sent to Buzzard’s Bay by Secretary Smith for President Cleveland’s approval.— Congressman Hammond was chiefly instrumental in securing the appointment of Mr. Patton.— Jasper county and the 10th district feel honored at this reeognition, and congratulate Congressman Hammond on the successful result of his efforts to secure it. Senator Hale, of Maine; the other day urged Senator Voorhees, as chairman of the finance committee, to hurry matters up. Mr. Voorhees retorted: “The idea of dealing with the question on the hop-skip andjump style suggested by the senator from Maine is amazing in the senate of the United States—par., ticularly in the casejof a senator who is now rushing forward to undo what he has helped to do.The senator from Maine forgets that every curse of the Sherman act comes home to roost on that side of the chamber, not this. Not a single vote on our side was given for that miserable act. I never believed in it and do not now. But the idea of the senator from Maine appealing to me to make haste to undo the infamy and fraud which he r.imself voted to fasten on this country is about the yiost refreshing thing that I have Witnessed in thirty years of public life ”

A high tariff has had more to do witu the present depressior in business than anything else. It has restricted tho sale of farm products abroad. It has led to overproduction in many lines of m in ufacture, and ihe protected concerns, lr order to reap the full measure of protection, have closed their works temporarily and have thrown tin usauds of laborin people out of employment. If, under a high protective tariff, manufacturin'' m many lines is so <-tii. uinted that a twelve months’ supply can be produced ia six months, what benefit accrues to laboring people who are thus deprived of work? ihe manufacturers lose nothing, because their profits in six months, uuder a high tariff trust system, are equal to what they would be for twelve months under a system of legitimate trade.

The protected manufacturers grown so strong and their power to do evil so great, that they can produce a temporary panic most any time.

Ilie Sherman bill was a compromise between the free silvtritesof the house, with its Democratic majority, and the more covservat’ve element. —Logansport Journal. The above is an exceedingly! reckless statement for even a Re-j -publican paper, and made in utter I disregard of the truth. It is well 1 known that when the Sherman bill j was passed, both houses of con- \ gress were Republican and Benja. 1 min Hartison was president. It was p issed, so Senator Sherman | says, to prevent M r. Harrison from being placed “in a hole.” Benj. Harrison to-day thinks the bill is receiving more blame than it is entitled to. In 1890 Czar Reed declared in his campaigu speeches that “the law would do wonders for the people.” nud in a speech at Grand Rapids McKinl y Bill said: ‘ What have we done? We have passed the silver bill -the best sliver bill that was ever on our Statute books. What does it do? L utilizes every ounce, every pennyweight of the silver product ot ‘he United States. The government buys 4,500,000 ounces ewy

thirty days and issues its treasury notes for that sum,and makes them redeemable in gold or silver, and makes them receivable for debts, pullic aad private, absolutely a legal tender that puts in circulation a little more than two millions every thirty days, and in addition to what is put in circulation under the old law, the two millions of coinage a month. Then we have made this silver as good as gold, and silver to-day is nearer on an equality with gold thau it has been for eighteen years, and why shouldn’t they be side by side in the business of this great country.” The repub ican national platfarm, too, eulogized it, and called the attention of the people to the fact that it received no democratic support in congress.

The Muncie Herald reaches the intelligent and irrefutable conclusion that no prosperous business ever went to pieces in a month or a year. It takes tirna to wreck a firmly established business. Republicans who harp about Democrauic times should remember this and then examine their past vicious legislation. T he republican administration assumed control of the government in 1889 with about $100,000,s 000 of surplus, accumulated by the honesty and economical business tact of Mr. Cleveland In four years the republicans squandeied the $100,000,000 surplus the revenues collected, and handed back the administration of affairs to Mr. Cleveland with a deficiency of $15,000,000 or $20,000,000. How is that for viciousness?

Max Brill, at one time a clerk with R. PeDdig, now a prosperous m-rchant in New York, visited friends in Rensstlaer this week. Thusday we took dinner with Esau Hart, of the Hart House, Remington. Mr. Hart is now in the 21st year of his management of that institution. The discoverv that a case of small pox had turned up m Rensselaer produced some little excitement for a few days, bu s th be- ] es is general tlmt it was given no opportunity to spread. tSicT. Schanlaub has bought the Morocco Courier, aud will soon assume management. s id is a good writer and will make a success of the venture. Cook & Whitby’s circus parade is nearly a mile long—a succession of blooded horses, open dens and tableaux, blazing with silver and gold—the sight of a lifetime, and can be seen on all the principal streets of Rensselaer, Friday, Sept. 15th.
