UNDER BOTH PARTIES.

Indiana When Republican and When Democratic. How the Former Debauched and Mixgoverned the State—Summary of the Reforms Accomplished by the Democracy—Who Would Go Back to the Old System? Indiana Republicanism is essentially retrogressive. It has for years stood in the way of necessary reforms and now announces that if given power it will repeal the legislation that has been enacted by the Democracy. This being the case, it is well to refresh the memory as to the old method and learn what it is that the Republican party would bring us back to. Rotten Electoral System.

Up to 1890 Indiana had one of the worst election laws that ever was devised. It made fraud easy and invited every device to cheat the voter out of his honest expression of opinion. While ostensibly a secret ballot it was in effect just the opposite. The party managers and workers had little difficulty in ascertaining how every man voted. Vote buying was facilitated by the methods prevailing and intimidation or espionage were made easy by lack of safeguards and secrecy. Under this vicious law the Republicans found it easy to practice those arts which enabled it often to win victories where the honest majority was clearly against them. In a struggle of this kind that party had a great advantage. Its long supremacy in state and nation and consequent control of vast sums of money, its “pull” on the trusts and corporate wealth made its resources practically unlimited. The party opposing it had to contend against immense odds. Every Indianian will remember the campaign of 1880. Dorsey, the Arkansas carpetbagger, was imported and placed in full charge, his only capital being an abundant supply of money and a total lack of conscience. How this vassal plied his nefarious game and the consequent debauchery of the state with liis crisp ten-dollar bills is too well known to be repeated. The same game was repeated on a larger scale in 1888, with only a change of generals and an enlargement of “commissary supplies.” Dudley and his “blocks-of-five” proved the last feather that broke the camel’s back. The whole state was disgusted with the shameless exhibition of that year and a cry went up from river to lake for a decent law that would abolish Dudleyism and rescue the its debasing influences. Democracy to the Rescue. Fortunately for the people, the legislature of 1889 proved to be Democratic and one of its first moves was to introduce a ballot law framed upon the Australian system. The Republicans quickly recognized that this was an attack upon their “vested rights” of debauching the suffrage and that if enacted would destroy their supremacy. They dreaded nothing so much as an honest ballot law and the whole tribe of Dudleys, Dorseys and Micheners were indignantly arrayed against the proposed reform. After a bitter contest, with the Democracy arrayed solidly on one side and the Republicans with practical unanimity on the other, the measure became a law. It was first tested in the fall of 1890 and the election that year was a revelation to the people of the state. For the first time in its history the state had an election that, was absolutely fair and honest. Vote-buying was rendered impossible. Absolute secrecy and safety was secured to the voter. The ticket-handlers and hustlers, heretofore inseparable adjuncts of Indiana elections, will no more be seen. The crowds around the polls, through which in former years the citizen was compelled to press his way, had disappeared. All was quiet and peaceable. There was no pulling and hauling, there was no independent solicitation, above all, there was no mysterious transfer of money around the corners. Such in brief was what was done for Indiana in the important matter of reforming the electoral system.

As to School Books. Another crying evil in Indiana for years had been the manipulation of school books by sundry formed rings and class corporations. Frequent changes of school books, which were effected by scheming and collusion, the monopoly enjoyed by favored firms and many other abuses long worked great hardsMps upon the patrons of schools. The expense constituted an immense tax all the more difficult to be borne because of the fact that it was known to be for the benefit of rings and people who enjoyed political “pulls.” This abuse also, after a long and doubtful struggle,' was finally swept away by a Democratic legislature. A law was passed carefully regulating the whole business, fixing prices and insuring improvments. Books purchased are good until used up and are not subject to sudden and capricious changes. Parents moving from one part of the stare to another find the same books available everywhere. Above all the prevention of extortion by regulation of prices has proved a great saving. It would be difficult to estimate the pecuniary benefits conferred upon school patrons of Indiana by this timely and wholesome law. It is solely the work of tho Democratic party, as the reform was fought by the Republican, party at every stage. Robbery by Unequal Taxation. But the greatest of all reforms for the people of Indiana was the passage of the new tax law in 1891. Before that the trap was laid to catch the small game while the large always managed to break through. The assessing was loose, haphazard and unfair. Those least able to pay were generally mulcted to the full extent, while - the powerful corporation, the favored millionaire and money lord either escaped entirely or paid only a fraction ot his past dues. The evils were great and universal and long and loud were the demands for relief. At length it came and now Indiana has the fairest and most equitably administered tax l»w of any state in the union. All are

compelled to pay in proportion to their holdings. Favoritism has been abolished and tax-dodging made exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. What Republicanism Teaches. It is difficult to conceive, but It is nevertheless true, that one of the great political parties of "Indiana has pledged itself, if restored to power, toaepeal or change all of the beneficial legislation aobxe enumerated. The Republicans give the people to understand that the Australian ballot law is not good for their health. They yearn for the return of the Dudleys and the Dorseys. They sigh for the “good old days” when vote-buying was a fine art and a ‘ ‘vested right” of Republicanism. They look mournfully at the Democratic, law which ruined this Republican industry and insists that steps shall be taken to “protect” it again. The same party wants the old loose tax system and the ring schoolbook system. In fact, they want to carry the state back a decade or two to the days when cheating at elections was easy, when tax dodging was in full vogue and when favored cliques controlled school supplies. For all these and other abuses the Republican party mourns, like Rachel for her children, and refuses to be comforted because they are not. If they get back into power, they say, there shall be a general smashing of reform laws and an undoing of all the good things that Democracy has done for the state in the last 10 years. Some Republican papers are complaining that the now bill makes such radical reductions in the tariff that prices on most articles will be reduced below what American manufacturers can afford to make them for. Other Republican papers are gloating over the alleged Democratic failure to accomplish any substantial tariff reduction. These assertions are inconsistent. Which one do the Republican loaders propose to adopt in making their campaign attacks on the new tariff ?—Omaha World-Herald. All the panics of the last 35 years have occurred under a high protective tariff, if not because thereof. Yet the Republicins would have us believe that it was “the threat of free trade” that made the country wilt and wither. Common sense teaches that it is what has happened and not wnat is going to happen that oauses financial depression either to individuals or nations. Whatever bad national laws are on the books up to the present congress are due solely to the Republican party. The last year was the first in over 35 that the Democrats had the power to pass federal statute. Panics and hard times always come from what has been done and not what may be done in future. The late disaster was purely a Republican product.

Benjamin Harrison threatens to go over into West Virginia and help Ms friend Steve Elkins down Chairman Wilson in tho congressional race: Benny will have Ms hands full at home, and when matters warm up a little will find that he can spare no time from Indiana if he hopes to keep his party in a respectable minority. The Republican party for a year past has been a veritable calamity howler. It tried to make the country believe a visitation had been sent upon it because it was choked loose from the offices. It welcomed hard times and blue ruin in hopes that such conditions might enable it to get back under cover without merit, repentance or reform of past sins. Since the Democrats gave Indiana a decent ballot law one never hears any more of Dorsey, Dudley & Co., who used to be the most prominent adjuncts of Republican campaigns. Like Othello, their occupation is gone, and with them has gone the two-dollar-bill device and the “blocks-of-five” system, which ran for years under Republican patents. Republican platforms tMs year are all things to all men and everytMng to everybody. They promise one tMng in the west and another in the east, promise both tMngs at once in some sections, and are ready to grant the people whatever they want provided only they give the promisers the offices. The Republican party has no existence in the south and but a very precarious one in the extreme west. Soon it will have to rely exclusively upon Pennsylvania and Vermont for its claim of being a national party. It never was a national party, but purely sectional from its birth.

The Republicans are not carrying Indiana as much as they were a few weeks ago. As the shades of autumn approach their chances grow slimmer and slimmer and by election time they will discover that the “great revolt against Democracy” we have heard so much about has not materialized. Republicanism was thrown out of power in ’92 for a long list of political sins. Now, without any signs of repentance and certainly without any improvement in morals, it asks to bo restored. It will take much more than two years of exile to purify a party which had 30 years to learn its wickedness. The Republicans are pledged to repeal the present state tax law if given power. They want to return to the old system which lot the big corporations escape and placed the burden on the rest of the people. Republicanism is nothing if not a friend and copartner with trusts. The Republican party has lost two Beuators without the formality of elec-, tions. Senators Stewart and Jones of Nevada have left their old party in disgust on account of its hostility to silver. If this thing keeps up there will not be enough of the old party to swear by or at. What can organized labor ask of any Ethan has been done for it by tho >cracy in Indiana. All the labor laws now on the statute books were placed there by the Democrats. Not a reform of tMs kind can be credited to the Republicans. All KnownotMng parties spring from and go back to Republicanism. Thepresent A. P, A. is a spawn of the same parent. No such snakes as this are ever hatched from Democratic eggs. That party has ever been the champion of religious liberty. RepublicaMsm in Indiana has done nothing for years except oppose everytMng proposed by the Democrats. Not a single one of the great reforms accomplished by Democracy but was fought ft nverv steD hv a solid Ronnblican oartv.

“A FIRM AD ENOS TO CORRECT PRINCI LBS.”

WITH A BIG BOOM.

The Democratic Campaign in Indiana Is Inaugurated. -jar Wonderful Enthusiasm Manifested In Every Quarter. Ovation* Tendered the Senator* and Representative* In Congress Governor Matthew* and Captain Myers Draw Great Orowds—Many Former Populists and Republicans Among the Crowds That Applaud the Democratic Speakers —All the Omens Favorable to Democratic Success In November—The State Fairly Wild with Democratic Enthusiasm. The Democratic campaign of 1894 was formally opened throughout Indiana Saturday and the interest and enthusiasm manifested were beyond the most sanguine expectations of the party leaders. The attendance at the meetings was phenomenally large for an pff year, in most instances exceeding that at the opening meetings in the presidential year of 1892, when the|Democrats oaptured everytMng in sight at the election.

A noticeable feature at the'gatherings was the largo attendance of farmers and those who had formerly been classed as Populists. There was, too, a liberal sprinkling in of former Republicans who have recently been converted to the Democratic faith by the reduoed cost of living since the Democratic tariff law went into effect. It was noticeable, too, that those latter were among the first to applaud every reference to the tariff fight in oongress and the course of President Cleveland. Another notable feature of the day was the participation in the demonstrations of many old time Democrats who have not been very active in recent years. All the omens were auspicious for Democratic success. The weather was perfect, the attendance extremely large and the earnestness and enthusiasm unsurpassed. All lu all the demonstration was a huge success, and augured Democratic victory in November. All the leading speakers of the Indiana Democracy were on the stump Saturday "loaded for boar.” The issues of the campaign were forcibly expounded in nearly every county in the state and the eyes of the heretofore boastful Republicans opened to the fact that they have the hardest kind of a fight on hand to even make a respectable showing in November. Voorhces Bounds a Keynote.

Perhaps the most notable meeting of the day was that at Terre Haute in the evening, where Senator Voorhees fresh from the scene of his long struggles and distinguished triumphs, addressed his fellow-townsmen. Though the hall was the largest in the oity, it had not the oapaoity Jto accommodate one-tenth of those who turned out to hear Indiana’s most eloquent orator. The senator was at his best and dealt with the issues of the oampalgn in the most masterful manner. He dwelt at length on the work of congress and the great results accomplished in securing legislation in behalf of the masses, in bringing about eoonomy in public expenditures, reforming administrative abuses and breaking the power of monopolies and trusts. The senator’s speech was received with the wildest demonstrations of approval. Another of the great ovations of the day was that tendered Governor Claude Matthews at Lakeside park, Warsaw. His audience was largely made up of farmers, who came from many miles around to hear the farmer governor. So great was the throng that many hundreds were unable to get within sound of the speaker’s voice. The governor was in his happiest vein and fairly wiped »p the earth with the Republicans. He dealt chiefly with the state issues and captivated his hearers. Senator T.urpie spoke to an immense gathering of Democrats from three counties at Delphi and made a deep impression by his scholarly oratory and forceful logio. Attorney General Smith opened the campaign at Brownstown, where he was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of many hundreds. He exposed Republican shams in his usual forcible manner and dealt trip hammer blows in behalf of Democracy. Captain W. R. Myers, the head of the state ticket, was greeted at Hartford City in the afternoon by thousands of people from that vicinity. In the crowd were many former Republicans and Populists who now give adherence to Democratic doctrine. Congressmen Warmly Greeted. A gratifying feature of the day was the warm welcome everywhere extended to the members of congress and the nominees. Few of them spoke at their own homes and the warmth of their reception cannot, therefore, be attributed to the kindness of their neighbors, but rather to a satisfaction with the record made by the popular branch of the national government. Representative Bretz had a big gathering at English; Hon. S. M. Stoekslager was warmly received at New Albany; Hon. Jason Brown addressed a huge audience at Franklin; George W. Cooper made speeches at Elwood and Alexandria, at each of which place he was greeted by large crowds of factory employes who had been out of work under the McKinley law and were only able to secure employment when that law was repealed. Hon. W. D. Bynum was enthusiastically received at Bloomington %id Hon. E. N. Brookshire’s meeting at Crawfordsville amounted to a veritable ovation. Hon. A. H. Taylor held forth to a multitude at Rookport and all Wells county was out to hear Representative Martin at Bluffton, where he spoke with Judge Allen Zollers and Hon. J. A. Hindman. Howard and Delaware counties held mass conventions and at Muncie the Hon. R. C. Bell of Fort Wavne made a rousing speech. Nearly a hundred other meetings were held, au characterised by the greatest enthusiasm, Distriot Attorney Burke

spoke at Shelbyrllle, D. A. Woods at Decatur, H. C. Bell, deputy commissioner of pensions, at Columbus, with Judge Robinson, J. E. McCullough and Henry Spaan at Lebanon, D. E. Will* iamaon, ex-Republican attorney general, and Sidney R. Moore at Brazil, John F. Follett of OMo at Brookville, I. W. McKee at Marion, F. M. Griffith at Greenfield, Henry Kramer at Corydon, A. M. Cunning at Browusbnrg, J. EL Bell at New Castle, J. B. Collins at Rennselaer, Patrick Keefe at Plymouth, John W. Kern at Spencer, S. A. Barnes and J. H. O’Neal at Shoals, JoMi R. Wilson andN.G.Hunter at Peru, Thomas L. Sullivan at Kontland, Senator Stuart at Kendall ville, Charles L, Jewett at Lafayette, Mortimor Nye at Richmond and a host of others at other places. The Democratic campaign oponod with a boom.

DEMOCRATIC TIMES NOW.

THE VOICE OF THE CALAMITY HOWLER IS HUSHED. Reviving llnuiueu Under the Tariff Lid Put* a Stop to the I>l«tnal Croaking* of Republican Kdltora and Orator* —An Attempt to Cheok the Rnilnea* Revival Until After Election Record of the Week, The industrial situation, which has been such a thorn in the side of the Republican editors and orators since the enactment of the new tariff law, and the repeal of the McKinley law continues to emphasize the fact that “Democratic times” have but just arrived. Nowhere in the United States is the business revival more marked than in the state of Indiana. Such a complete answer has this proven to the calamity howls of the Republicans that they have become panic stricken and have set about, with an utter disregard of the people’s interests, to advance their partisan ends by preventing the return of good times until after the election. This movement is not entirely confined to Indiana, but it seems to have its origin in the fertile brain of tho Republican state central committee. The fiflJt indication of tho movement came in an interview with tho Indianapolis Journal, in which the proprietors of tfce Merritt woolen mills expressed their intention of dosing their mills for a few weeks to “investigate the prospects under the new tariff bill” and determine what reduction in wages they will be compelled to make as a result of tho enactment of the new tariff law. It will be seen at once that this is a subterfuge, for the raw materials from which woolen goods are manufactured have been made free, the price of fuel has been reduced and the mills are in a better shape to operate at a profit than they have been since the McKinley bill wasjpassed. Following up this announcement from Indianapolis comes one from Bt. Louis that the Neideringhatis tin plate works contemplates a similar shutdown. Neideringhans, it will be remembered, was formerly the Republican congressman from one of the St. Louis districts. It was for his benefit that the Rev. "Billy,’ Owen, then commissioner of labor under President Harrison, but now Republican candidate for secretary of state of Indiana, violated all the provisions of the alien contract labor law and permitted the importation of Welsh tinplate workers. The ridiculousness of the attempt of Neideringhaus to make political capital in this way is amply demonstrated by the dispatches constantly coming from the Indiana gas belt which show increased activity in the tinplate industry sinoe the enactment of the tariff law. Within the last week all the factories which have been idle have gone to work and arrangements nave been completed for several new ones. For instance, the Atlantic tinplate company has been organized with $150,000 capital and will immediately begin the erection of a plant at Atlanta, Hamilton county. Anderson has just secured the location of what is to be the biggest tinplate factory in America, and among the citizens’ committee which secured the plant is Charles L. Henry, the Republican candidate for congress. This will be a 12-mill factory and will employ 1,000 men. Another new tinplate factory will be started in Alexandria. These facts prove that the Neideringhaus shutdown is but a scheme to work up political capital and at the same time gouge the employes of the factory. The fallacy of the claim made by the Merritt mills people, that they must close their woolen mills, is made clearly apparent by the fact that since the new tariff law went into effect the woolen mils at Peru, Ind., have had orders growing upon them so fast that they cannot fill them without lengthening the hours of labor. But the tinplate industry is not the only one in which great activity is being shown. From all over the state, from all over the country, for that matter, business is reported as improving rapidly in all lines. It would take a volume to enumerate the evidences of this, but one thing is peculiarly striking and that is the improvement in the state of Indiana, especially in the line of manufacturing. At Dunkirk oar repair shops have been erected which will require 12 large buildings and have a capacity for employing 1,000 workmen. The McCoy-Howe company of Indianapolis is erecting a 8-story addition to its plant on West Georgia street. Railroad earnings of 132 railroads for August show a big increase over the corresponding period of last year. At the latter time the world’s fair traffic was at its highest. Thursday last was the busiest day in the history of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. Returns for August show the greatest number of loaded freight cars handled in any month in the company’s history. The Columbian spring works at Hammond, whioh has been shut down for a year, started up Wednesday. They will run double force to fill ordeiis. At Anderson the Victor wiadovglass works resumed cperatichs Thursday. The Anderson ana' Union companies started up on the 22d and 25th inst. Four hundred skilled workmen will be employed.

The McKinley tariff made raw sugar free and gave the Louisiana sugar planters a bounty of 2 cents par pouud on all the sugar they produced. Thtn the McKinley law provided a duty of one-half a cent per pound on refined sugar in the interest of tho sugar trust. Let us see how the thing worked. The government got no revenue from either raw or refined sugar, while under the old law the government received $60,000,000 ans uuilly from the sugar tariff. In the next plaoe the government paidoutas a direct bounty last year to the sugar producers about Sl7,** 000,000. In the next place the half a cent tariff on refined sugar prevented the importation of refined sugar and gave tho sugar trust amonopoly of the sugar business, and the profits of the trust were $28,000,000 last year. Under the policy of a tariff for revenuo, the Wilson tariff repeals the bounty clause of tho McKinley law, provides for a revenue tariff of 40 per cent on imported raw sugar and reduces the tariff on refined sugar fromone half cent per pound to one-eighth of one per cent. Of oourse tho HUgar plant* rs are equaling because they are deprived of their 2 oeats per pouud bounty. The Wilson tariff still gives them one cent a pound advantage over foreign produced of sugar.

Responsibility for Trusts.

One of tha most remarkable publications that Ims appeared in the Republican pi ess recently is a savage issault on trußts by the ul-tra-republican New York Press. It 1 aays: “As a rule, however, trusts undoubtedly add to the cost ot the articles whose production they monopolize The trusts, by their enormous combinations of capital, take freedom of trade by the throat and trample out of existence the business man or firm that dares to compete wi' h them. Their methods at the best are a menace to the welfare of the community and are distinctly anarchistic, not stopping short in well known instances of the anarchists’ dynamite and violence. The trust, with a brazen treason against the fundamental principles of American liberty, says virtuaLv to every citizen outside of the trust: “Thou sbalt not anre to compete with this business of ours. If we cannot crush you by fair means we will by sou means American laws pretend to protect you in your right to compete, but we set those laws at defiance and laugh them to scorn.’’ This is anarchy. There cannot be Ire )dom without the right of competition in legitimate trade.” The Republican party is responsible for all the trusts in this councountry. They have been fostered by class legislation. When competition is broke a down by high taaiff laws, the trusts hrve full swing and during thirty years class legislation tbe protected trusts have robbod the people of millions upon millions of dollars. The way to break down trusts is to withdraw all special privileges.

It pre* Rented a clean cut object lesson of operation of theblesßed protective system to the people.
