WELL DONE

Says the Indianapolis News (republican): “Governor Matthews has done a most praiseworthy and patriotic act in borrowing money on his own personal responsibility with which to pay the militia for their services during the strikes. One of the first duties of the Legislature will be to appropriate money to pay the loan. We have not a doubt that the dutv will be per * formed. The people of the state irrespective of party were unanimous in their approval of the Governor’s course in calling out the troops. They wil be a unit in commending him for providing money for the D 'ompt payment of the soidiers. In Illinois the militia must wait until the Legisla turo meets and appropriates money. But there Al tge’d is Governor. The whole conduct of our state in connection with the strike difficulties has added to the good name and fame of Indiana. Arsenic and quinine am dangerous drugs to accumulate in one’s system, and it is to be hoped that these poisons, as a remedy for ague, have hhd their day. Ayer’s Ague Cure is a sure antidote for the ague is perfectly safe to take, and is warranted to cure.

THE CARNEGIE FRAUDS.

The report of the investigating committee which was submitted to the House yesterday sustains substantially every charge that was made against the Carnegie company in connection with he armor plate furnished by it for the new navy. Not only flTe the charges sustained, but the frauds are bro’t home to the company, for they are traced to the general superintendent, who is a stockholder injthe concern. Frryeavs this swindling business has been going on. Not only have defective plates and bolts b§en palmed off upon the Government. but the machines used to test these plates have been doctored so as to give false results, thus showing a knowledge on the part of the company of what was going on. The infamy of such conduct is almost past belief. Lt is not pleasant to reflect that*th >re is one man in the United States who would do anything to weaken the country’s power to defend herself or needlessly to imperil the lives of those who stand between hei and her foes. And that is what the Carnegie company has done. Perhaps it is not technically treason, but certainly no greater “aid and comfort” could be given to the Nation’s enemies than by sendir g against them ships covered with rotter armor. The crime growsin enormity when it is remembered that it was perpetrated by a corporat ; on which has for years been nursed K y the Govern ment as an “infant industry,” and to vhich the American people have given the newer of collecting taxes fiom them for its use and benefit. Millions of dollars have beec poured into the pockets of Carnegie and his associates under the plea of giving them necessary “protection,” and now we see the s>rt of retain they give The recomin ndations of the committee are none too strong. A joint resolution is proposed direct ing Ihe Secretary of tne N avy to remove the suspected plates—fiftynine in number —from the Monterey, Monaduock, New York, Amphitrite, Terror, Oregon, Olympia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Columbia, Minneapolis, Cincinnati and Rais eigh, and o subject them to the proper tests. This should be done, and at once. And if the Carnegie company is to do any more work for the Government, and this is prob ,bly inevitable, it should be closely watched. If the Government inspectors do their duty— and they have not done it in the past — the chances for fraud would be com: aratively slight —lndianapolis News, republica .

WANAMAKER AND THE TARIFF.

John Wanamaker, postmastergeneral under Harrison, is really outdoing himself in illustrating the grea* advantages to the people that will result from the new tariff bill in the various lines of clothing. It takes a whole page of the Philadelphia Record to set so th the great reductions that he is making, and he explains it very clearly. While the new woolen schedule does not go into effect until January 1, 1895, he points out that our manufacturers have tLe a- vantage “right off now, in free wool an i other free raw mas terials.” Beside this he has been : iling up goods in bond until he accumulated 619 cases, which he began taking out yesiex day. Consequent! y he is enabled to begin his reduction at once, and he does it in good sha: e. It would be impossible to state in full the reductions made, but some idea of them may be gained from the following prices: n new all-wool dress goods, cheviots im *" ported to se.l at $1.50 and $2 pe r yard are reduce' to 50 cents; cashmere and cneviot plains imported to sell at $1.50 and $2.90 down to 75 cents, All-wool sacking goes from 50 cents to37| per yard; sail cloth from 75 to 60 cents; French and worsted serges from $1.25 to sl;Bengalines from $1.50 to sl;silk figured tamises and batistes from $1 50 to 75 cents. Broadcloth, all colors, is cut from $3 to $1.50. Women’s wash dresses, in duck, pique and the like,that have ranged from S 3 to $lO, are put down to a uniform prioe of $2, and a vest

goes with each suit. • All silk satins drop according to price as follows: $1 per yard cut io 75 cents; $1.35 cut to 90 cents; $1.50 cut to $1.20; $2 cut to $1.40; $3 cut to $2.25; S 3 50 cut to $2.65. On silks the cuts average higher, ranging from 33 to 50 per cent, off all along the link Wanamaker sells everything. In shoes lhe reductions are as heavy as in fabrics. Women’s calf Oxo ford ties go from S 2 to 51.30. Infants’ shoes go from $ 1 to 50 cents High cut Romeo slippers, in all sizes and colors, are reduced from $3t051.50. On linenso’ all kinds the verage d r op is 20 per cent. — On ribbons it is 40 per cent. On carpets it is 30 per cent. On silk curtains it is ov r 50 per c nt. On children's clothing it is A 4O per emt. Wall papers go ' 11 to pieces, being from 80 per cent in higher grades to 50 in the lower ones.— Men’s clothing goes down 25 to 30 per cent., and vovths’ clothing still lower.

Congress adjourned Tuesday.

The populist senators voted with the republican senators and the three recreant so-called democratic senators to send the free sugar bill to the finance committee which they knew would not report it back ch is session. Dr Hatch, the republican nominee for congress in this district, was a m?iuberof the salary bing legislature of 1873-74, and and his vote for that measure is about his only important act during tba* session. Dr. Hatch has already made the republicans sick. Rev. Hathorn is busily engaged in preachi g their funeral* and undertaker Zimmerman unly awaits the 7th day of November for the final in* terment. He will bury them dei cently, in order, and do the job up with neatness and dispatch.

The appeal of the Bowen bank at Delphi from the assessment fixed bv the local Board of Review has b?en dismissed. The bank only returned $2,300 for taxation and the Board raised it to $160,000. The bank appealed with the above result, and will have to pay on the $160,000 assessment. If Judge ■fJammond, in his remarks acknowleding the honor co ifvrred upon him in his selection as presidin - officer over the 3d republican congressional con vention, said: “tne democratic par*, ty draws its strength from the slums and dregs of creation,” it will have the effect of lessening his influence among his democratic neighbors and friends wno have always believed him to be above such cheap demagoguy We are satisfied the Judge used the expression as so much cheap buns combe, but that will not excuse him. The Judge and His party will suffer more from such outbreaks at the mouth than will the democi atic party.

A few ivenings ago at a prayer meeting near Jacksonville, 111., a Republican brother prayed that God would cause the republican party to hang together, whereupon a Democratic brother shouted “Amen! Amen!” This caused tha republiean brother to make the following amendment to his prayer: ‘ Not, O! Lord, m the sense that our Democratic brother means, but iu the spirit of accord.” “Any cord will do, 0 Lord; any will do,” ejaculated the Democratic brother.— The pastor immediately mad; a rule that hereafter j olitics should be kept out of the prayer meeting.

PARTY’S PLATFORM.

PRINCIPLES UNDER WHICH DEMOCRACY IS TO WIN ITS VICTORY. Declaration! by the Indiana State Convention on Topic! of ■nKroeain* Interest to the People of the Common-wealth-All lunes Clearly Defined. The Democratic party of Indiana takes Just pride in the strength of the record t has made in the legislative and executive departments of this commonwealth by the enactment and enforcement of wise and beneficent laws in the interest of the people and in the fulfillment of its pledges. State lunea. It passed the mechanics’ lien laws and the law giving laborers a lien upon the product of their labor for wages and materials furnished; the law protecting labor organizations; the law providing for the safety of miners and the proper ventilation of mines; constituting eight hours a day’s labor in public employment; prohibiting the blacklisting of employes; prohibiting “pluck me" stores; the employes’ liability law; forbidding the employment and importation of Pinkerton detectives; against the importation of alien or foreign labor; it enacted the school book law, saving large sums to the people, breaking down an oppressive monopoly and placing the instruments of education within the roach of the poorest and humblest citizens; it enacted our existing laws purifying the elections, giving an untrammeled ballot to the voter, and by the Australian ballot successfully preventing fraud and the intimidation of employes and others at the polls; it framed and passed our present tax law, thus adding many millions of property to our tax duplicates; it passed the present foe and salary law; it enacted the Barrett improvement law, which has proven a blessing wherever used; it also passed the state board of charities law, which has insured honest, humane and intelligent administration of our public institutions. All this has been acoompllshod, almost in every instance, in spite of the determined objection and opposition of tho Republican party. By this course of legislation, in fulfillment of pledges to the people, Indiana has been placed at tho forefront of all the states in the matter of this and kindred reform legislation, and we pledge ourselves to the maintenance and enforcement of these measures, while the Republican party stands pledged, at the first opportunity, to destroy, either by repeal or amendment, tho most important of these wise laws. The Tax Law. We congratulate the people of Indiana upon the upholding of the tax law of 1891, under which more than $100,000,000 of corporate property has been added to the tax duplicate. And we especially commend the action of the state officers in charge in prosecuting and enforcing to a successful conclusion the provisions of said law. Against Protection. We reaffirm our opposition to the vicious system of class legislation, miscalled protection, and pledge ourselves to continue the battle against it until every species of extortion and robbery fostered by the McKinley act shall be obliterated from our revenue system and the people enjoy all the blessings of commercial liberty. The protective system has built up the great monopolies and trusts which control absolutely so many industries and have done so much to debauch the politics of the country and corrupt the legislative department of the government. We denounce tariff protection of every kind as a fraud and a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We maintain that no tariff taxes should be levied except for the purposes of revenue only ana that such taxes should be limited to the necessities of the government, when honestly and economically administered. We denounce the McKinley tariff law enacted by the Fifty-first congress as the culminating atrocity of class legislation. We approve the efforts of President Cleveland and his administration and of the Democratic house of representatives and of the large majority of the Democratic senators, and particularly our distinguished senators from Indiana, Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees and Hon. David Turpie, and our entire Democratic delegation in congress, to redeem the pledges made to the country by the last Democratic national convention, and to execute the will of the American people as expressed so emphatically at the ballot box in November, 1892. We condemn the Republican party for its persistent efforts to prevent the execution of this unmistakably popular verdict, and we especially condemn a small coterie of senators who, masquerading as Democrats, by threats to defeat all tariff legislation have temporarily prevented the Democratic party from carrying out all of its pledges to the people for tariff reform as announced in the Democratic national platform of 1892. We congratulate the Democratic party and the country upon the fact that, notwithstanding the open opposition of the Republican party and the conduct of a few pretended Democrats, a substantial measure of reform has been enacted; that many important raw materials of our industries have been placed on the free list; that material reduction has been made in the duties on iron ore and | coal and that the tariff tax on nearly all classes of manufactured goods, including woolens, and on the necessities of daily life has been very largely reduced. We approve the action of the house of representatives in following the enactment of this law with the passage of separate acts placing sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire on the free list, and we demand that the senate shall concur . in these righteous measures at the earli- I est possible moment. We especially indorse the income tax as a wise and equitable measure designed to place a fair share of the burdens of the government upon the property of the country, <or thfc penefit of lyhioh the expenses of the are so largely incurred. Taxing Greenbacks. We indorse the law passed by a Democratic congress authorizing the taxation of greenbacks as other money is taxed as a great measure of reform, and we take pride in the fact that the demand for such reform \yas first formulated by the Democracy of Indiana, and that it is due to the persistent and intelligent es-

NUMBER 33

forts of a Democratic representative from Indiana that this reform has been embodied into law. We favor the prompt enactment of a law by our next Legist*tore for the taxation of that daas of money. Wo also most heartily indorse the action of the Democratic congress in repealing the odious election law. Election of Senators. We are in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. We are also in favor at such constitutional and other changes as may be necessary in order that congress may assemble as soon after its election as practicable, and to the end that the will of the people, as expressed at the polls, may receive prompt and full legislative expression. A. P. A. Denounced. We believe and declare that the policy and principles of what is called the American Protective association are illiberal, unwise, unpatriotic, undemocratic and unamerican. In the spirit of the* religious freedom which characterizes our constitutions and laws, and the spirit of that wise toleration and generous statesmanship which seeks to accord to all the rights and privileges of American citizenship, we call upon every man to do battle against such an organisation. Labor. The Democratic party of Indian* is, as it always has been, the friend to the laboring mon, of whom its membership is largely composed. It is in hearty sympathy with every lawful effort to secure for those who earn their livelihood by their daily toil full protection in all their rights as American citizens, to better the condition of their lives, to secure for them full and fair compensation for their labor and to afford them every possible opportunity for moral, social and material advancement. We condemn the efforts that have been made, whether by the professed friends or the avowed enemies of our wage workers, to identify their cause with the infamous conspiracies of lawlessness and anarchy which threatens the very foundations a* social order and civilisation. We are opposed to every manifestation of violence and mob spirit and stand squarely for the maintenance of law and order upon all occasions and under all circumstances. i Immigration, Wo favor the enactment and enforcement of such laws regulating immigration from other countries as shall exclude the pauper and vloious classes, who are unfitted to become American citizens and whoso presence in this country will furnish a standing menace to the order and prosperity of our land. Tho Republican Panto. We denounce the unprincipled and cowardly effort of the Republican party to escape the responsibility for the existing depressed condition of the business affairs of the country. This condition is the natural, logical and inevitable result of the infamously corrupt system of taxation known as McKinleyum, combined with vicious financial legislation and the profligated extravagance of the Republican party. Arbitration. We favor the establishment of a tribunal of arbitration in which there may be secured a peaceful settlement of ail disputes between employers and employes. Sumptuary Laws. The Democratic party is, as it ever has been, opposed to all sumptuary laws as contrary to the principles of free government, and favor the largest individual liberty of the citizens consonant with good government. The Silver Question. We indorse the repeal of the purchasing clause of that cowardly Republican' makeshift, known as the Sherman silver, act of 1890. We reaffirm our belief that| both gold and silver should be used as the standard money of the country, and| that both should be coined without discriminating against either metal, and without charge for mintage. We believe it absolutely necessary to the welfare and prosperity of the great producing glasses that silver should be restored to the place it occupied in the currency sys-l terns of the world a quarter of a century ago, and we hail with delight the many signs of a revolution in public opinion in the great commercial nations in favor; of a restoration of the bimetallic system. We pledge our hearty efforts to secure the adoption of every measure for the complete restoration of silver to its proper place in our monetary system, either through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in payment of debt, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par and redeemable in such coin.

Hawaii. i We declare that the present national administration has acted wisely and honorably in permitting the people of Hawaii, unawed by our naval or military forces, to manage their own domestic concerns and to place their country in the family of republics. Cleveland and Matthews. We heartily indorse the able, fearless and patriotic administration of Grover Cleveland, and especially his course in maintaining law and order. We heartily indorse the wise and patriotic administration of Governor Matthews, whose conduct as a public servant has called forth the commendation of the people of every state in the Union and placed our state in the foremost rank for good government, and cordially commend the action and conduct of our several state officers. Concerning Pensions. We remember with gratitude the patriotic services of the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and recognize the fact that, after the lapse of 80 years, by reason of the hardships, privations and exposures of army life, many are passing away and others becoming more help-4 loss. We therefore demand that conin the matter ot pensions, shaft not only deal generously, but bountifully with these aged veterans. We also reiterate the declaration of our convention in 1892 that the state should provide by liberal appropriation for the support of a home where ’ our disabled veterans, with their wives, may be supported, without sending ibom to. almshouses.
