Democratic Sentinel, Volume 18, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1894 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Hon. J. B. Collins Will open the campaign, on the part of the Democracy of Jasper county, at the Court House, in Rensselaer, on the evening of SATURDAY, SEPT’MBER 22. on the political issues of the day. Everybody come out and hear him. Senator Peffer is severe in his denunciation of the tariff bill, but a question as to why he voted for duties on salt and wool makes him stutter. From the heavy cut in prices of goods advertised by merchants consumers are beginning to realize that undec the Democratic tariff they are only called upon to pay ‘shoddy’ prices for woolen goods; whereas, under the late McKinley bill they were required to pay ‘woolen’ prices for shoddy goods. inasmuch as Mr. Culp has de* clined the Democratic nomination for Commissioner from the 3d district, the county chairman suggests that the Democrats of the 3d district arrange to meet and select a candidate for the vacancy. We think this the right move in the right direction, and should meet the approval ot every demo* crat in the county.

There is nothing to prevent any one concocting a mixture and calling it “sarsaparilla,” and there is nothing to prevent any one spending good money testing the stuff; but prudent people, who wish to be sure of their remedy, take only Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and so get cured. The Indiana State Fair will hold its regular annual meeting this year September 17 to 22 inclusive. Thirty thousand dollars are offered 'o* premiums in all of the departments, and many special awards of diplomas will also be made. The racing program is complete; the purses so large as to attract fir it;lass horses, and there is no doubt >ut that the racing will be most interesting. The Woman’s building will be :ull of attractions to the women of he State—many important changes laving been made in the catalogue and rules. Many things new in art and household effects will be displayed. A fine orchestra and land will lend attractions to the program in this department each day. In fact the Woman’s department at the State Fair will be made one of the attractions.

Th 3 city of Indianapolis will be I n carnival colors during the Fair. The citizens .nd merchants have awakened to the importance of entertaining and interesting the visitors. The grand evening spectacular production, “The Last Days < t Pompeii,’’ the electrical illun minati- ns and many places of interest will all afford the visitor excellent entertainment. The low rates on the railroads should certainly make it the time for a visit to the capital city. The Democratic law which makes the big corporations pay their just share of the tax burdens is distasteful to Republicans. They would repeal it and remit the state back to the system formerly prevailing when the small fish were caught while the big fish slipped through. Remember, that without the aid of the whole Republican membership the few Democratic traitors in the senate could not have obstructed tariff reform. The Republicans were the British, while the "masquerading Democrats” played the role of Benedict Arnold. What position are the Republicans going to take on the tariff question, anyway? Will they demand the repeal of the new bill ana insist on reopening the whole subject in congress? It is almost time they were announcing their intentions. Republicanism in the far west is for free silver. In the east it is for the single gold standard. Anything to get votes. They promise the people whatever they want, provided, only in return that they will give them the offices. The Democratic state platform enumerates the great reforms effected by the party in the interest of labor and the people generally. The list is long and covers a series of measures of the highest importance. Tom Reed recently opened the Republican campaign in Maine with his jaw. If any one wants to know what little exouse the Republican party has for continuing in existence, he should read that speech. By virtue of a Democratic law Pullman now-has to pay for the privilege of running his cars through Indiana. In other states he goes free, as he did here under Republican legislation. Thanks to the Democratic party Johnny Davenport and his myrmidons Will no longer supervise elections. The states will regulate such affairs without federal interference. Republican prospects wane as the campaign progresses. That party, like a young robin, is biggest when firstborn.
