WITH INDIANA ORATORS.

Ptthy, PertlMnt Point* by Democratic Speaker*. If there is anything it thia world that is settled forever it is that a high protective tariff for the purposes of protecting classes can never again prevail in America.—Charles L. Jewett. In all the great traits of character, in all the elements of manhood of the world’s famous people, our president is the greatest exponent of manhood in the world today.—John Gil Shanklin. If you will take the statutes of our state and canvass them as I have done you will And that every law in existence today upon the subject of labor was enacted by Democratic legislatures.— George W. Cooper. I have that confidence in the intelligence and justice of our people, that they will again confide the destiny of their state into the hands of a party that has been the party of progress and reform in Indiana and that has proven it can be trusted.—Claude Matthews. There is a useful and delightful destiny connected with the Democracy. The good angel of destiny has saved our party through a hundred years. Our party has been saved that the masses of our people may prosper, and that the cause of the common people may triumph.—E. V Brookshire. The Republican party in power is a pestilence. In Harrison's administration there was one long, ceaseless riot in the expenditure of the people's money. The treasury was looted and a “billiondollar congress,’’ under the leadership of Thomas B. Reed, saddled upon a taxburdened land obligations which constituted a monumental infamy.—W. R. Myers. While the continued and enlarged use of silver as a money metal is demanded by every true bimetallist, it is in the in terest of tariff reform and freer trade with all the commercial nations of the world that we should have a dollar, in substance and in fact, that will be ao cepted as such by all the people with whom we trade. Any other policy would be suicidal, and the bimetallist only cuts his throat with a silver knife. —State Senator R. F. Stuart.

When the Pinkerton detectives, two years ago, invaded Pennsylvania under the employment of Carnegie & Frick to suppress the demands of labor and shocked the conscience of the nation with their bloody deeds the workingmen of Indiana rejoiced that by reason of Democratic legislation the importation of foreign assassins to crush out their demands in their state was made impossible. The danger had been foreseen and long before forestalled —Senator Kern. It somehow turns out this year that the men whom our Populist friends have nominated for congress in this state are men who have all their lives held office, or all their lives have wanted to hold office, by the favor of one or the other of the old parties, and their fierce denunciation of their former friends is tainted by the suspicion that these candidates might still be under political bondage had the supply of offices or Sromisos held out.—Congressman Molagny Thus during the four years of the Harrison administration the diminution of the public revenues reached the figure of $58,000,000. And here we have a comparison which teaches a lesson: An increase of the revenues under a Democratic administration of $50,000,000 and a decrease under the administration ot the Republican party of $58,000,000. Here is a showing of expenditures during the four years of Republican administration under Mr. Harrison: The first year, $418,000,000; the second year, $855,000,000; the third year, $845,000,000, and the last year, $378,000,000. The surplus during the first year of the Harrison administration fell to $87,000,000; the third year to $17,000,000, and ths last year to $2,000,000. —Congressman Bynum
