Democratic Sentinel, Volume 18, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 June 1894 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Hon. Charles H. Reeve has an article in the Chicago Herald in which he makes an unanswerable defense of the conservative course Oj the democratic party since it came ihto power. He says that the democratic majority of only one, on a strut party vote, in the senate, with from one to five mem» bers with sectional opposition to the action desired by the others necessitate extensive compromises Neither the President, the cabinet, nor the people can do anything to force matters, snd they are in no wise censurable for delay on tariff reform. Nor are the conservative members to be censured for caution and deliberate consideration and action in so importan' a matter as the revision of measures for tariffs and internal taxation for revenue, overturning an established system of legislation for protection of long standing, m the midst of a time of universal, financial and business depression, not simply national, but world-wide. For men like Hill, and others whose numbers can be counted on the fingers of one hand, condemnation without qualification may be expressed, but for republican senators who obstruct for the sak< of obstruction greater condemnation is due.

There is a cry of “hard times” with the anomalous environment of more money in the country, more surplus of productions, more industries, and more people actually employed than at any other time in its history. There are uncounted thousands of laborers “on strike,” thousands more idle because strikers by violence prevent them from working, and still more thousands idle because industries have “shut down” because of strikes and action by strikers. The antagonisms and war between capitalists and laborers, between moneyed syndicates and trusts on one hand and labor unions on the other, are legitimate results and outgrowths of the class conditions created by the legislation of the republican part}’ while in continuous nower since 1860 until one year ago. At uo time have dem ocrats had full possession cf the machinery of government until 1893, and then with a majority of only one iu the senate, and that oim not in harmony with the party. The democratic administration hr.s gone courageously forward in r demption of its pledges. It has lessened the number or official employes, reduced salaries, re.. ou'red moie hours of and more * ificient labor, curtailed expenses, observed economy in adrainistraiion, obeyed the-.'ivil service law, settled f< reign questions to tl e credit of the government, remove' causes, of friction in int rnational matters, provided for a bankrupt treasury in the face of a prohibitory tariff that cut off revenue, repealed the federal election laws, repealed the vicious Sherman silver purchase law, passed a revised tariff bill in the house, and made greater progress with it iu the senate than was ever made with any other tariff bill in a much greater length of time.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor is a u liversal beautifier. Harmless, effective, and agreeable, ii has taken high rank among oilet articles. This preparation causes thin and weak hair to become abundant, strong, and healthy, and restores to gray hair its original color. nt The bodv of E. C. Beaman, a former Monon conductor, was found Saturday morning on the Monon tracks, near the Wabash river bridge, three miles i orth of Lafayette. Whether a case of suicide or murder is not known.
