Labsist on Reoobd— The bau anoe of trade in favor of the United States for the year ending January Ist, 1897, aggregates $306,315,032, the largest balance in our favor on record. We exported last year $986,871,266 worth of goods, and imported $660,557,228. This condition of affairs would, under ordinary circumstances, bring about prosperous times. - - 60n the Stool of Repentance. The Daily Kanawha Patriot, published at Charleston, W. Va., supported the gold standard mthe recent campaign It has at last seen the error of its way, has repented and will hereafter advocate the restoration of silvei. It says? “The Democratic party proper cast nearly 96,000 votes in West Virginia in the reoent election, while that part styling themselves gold Democrats cast less than 700 votes. For the success of the last named wing of the party we have been heretofore laboring, but we have fully become convinced that instead of achieving anything for pnie Democracy we have only been working for the success of the enemy. “Running a gold|etan lard paper is only helping the opposition and receiving naught for your pains; they get the spoils, while you get laughed at for the poli ical ass you have made of yourself. The gold standardha6 been fully tried since ’73; as to its success the idle factories and unemployed mi lions can testify. The bimetallic standard cannot make our situation any worse. “We are fully satisfied that even a fifty-cent dollar, it there is such a thing, is better for the toiling masses tha an appreciated dollar that "annot be got for labor or tiade.”

Confidence and Prosperity. A well known gentleman who supported McKinley sad sound money, after waiting patiently-for prosperity to-appear, at last gives ex pression to the following opinion; “Confidence has been resto ed, Du* business does not come nor will it until some measure is bro’t out which will so cheapen money that it will be driven out of the nanking trust into active business channels.” As recently as 1890, John Sherman declared that the requirement? of business demanded that the money in circulation should be increased in proportion to the in* crease < f population. He mentioned in urging the passage of the silver purchasing aw tt at the re. quirei enti of business utimanded an increase of no. less than $50,» 030,000 per year. In 1893 the silv r purchasing law was repealed sinci which time instead of an increase there has been a contract!* n of the curroscy to th# extent of at least $50,000,000 per year. On the ot v e r hand our population has b( en increasing more rapidly than in 1890. Taking Sherman’s view i f it the currency should have been increased $15(1,000,000 during the past threejyears whbe in fact it has been reduced that amount. Now McKinley’s election restored confidence they say. If confidences rest red, why do the New York banks hold as de; oaits onesthird of all the money in the country? vVt y is o e-third of our money supply locked up in New York banks if the confidence of the idle hoi .era of idle wealth’s .estor d ? The people voted for dear money at the resent elec! ion. It will became dearer every day under the present conditions. Unless the money supply- is increased to meet the needs of expanding business money will get, dearer and tiroes

Rensselaer, Jasper Oounty, Indiana, Friday, January 22, 1897.

Many newspapers are adopting various plans to meet the exigencies forced upon them by the hard times. Some conclude to try a reduction of the subscription price and hope to increase the number of subscribers; others announce that they will throw off 50 cents per annum to delinquents who will square up arrearages. We do not think either of these plans will pay. With wheat stating at 50 @ 60, oat* 10 @ 12, corn 15 @ 16 producers find it next to impossible to make their income meet their necessities. We have concluded, for a time at least, to meet the emergency, in redneing our necessary cash outlay each week by reducing the nze of the Sentinel, and the price to $1: and so soon as we may feel justified in doing so will restore the paper to its former dimensions.

times harder. During the good times from 1888 t* 1893 the increase in the money supply equaled the increase in population Speaker Reed in his speech at the Broadway rink in this city in 1890, said that the additional money supply provided bv the silver purchasing law meant prosperous timeß. — Logansport Pharos. •Judge’ fiealy will hereafter keep ou hand a select stock of ready made bootß and shoes, and will also continue to manufacture to order work entrusted to him. — The judge’s well known good judgment of quality, workmanship and prices in his line will be a drawing ca r d for patronage. Secretary Herbert has been making an investigation into the cost of manufacturing armor plate, a*"d finds that Carnegie and his crowd charged the government $583 a ton for these plates and he says they can be ma'"e at a good profit for $250 a ton. Indeed the same ma. kers have a contract with the Russian government for the same kind of armor plate at $249 a ton. That is the way Uncle Sam habitually gets bilked when he deals with that old gang of rascals and subsidy beggars. Just now this same crowd is swarming around the tariff “hearing” committee and de. manding more tariff to keep foreign competition out of this country. Thei claim that they can’t compete in this country with the pauper labor ot Europe, but they can sell tLeir products in he p/.u----per labor countries it less tha i half the price thev get for them at home.

FIVE MEN ~ WOUNDED. Deadly conflict in Tolleston* Club’s duck swamp near Crown PointYesterday morning Frank Costiok Theodore Pratt, Churlea Pratt, Alvin Bothwell and ten other farmer boys in the vicinity of the Tolleaton club started on an all-day expedition to exterminate the muskrats which inhabit the marshes in that vicinity. The boys did not find many rats on their own lands, and ventured over onto the Tolleston club’s lands, not far away. The watchman of the Tolleston club discovered them, immediately and put them down as poachers, and started out to drive them from the lands owned by the club. The watchmen were Frank Whitook, Barney Whitook, John Blackburn and Alfred Taylor. They marched down upon the poachers and ordered them off, instead of taking to their heels, they attacked the watchmen with rat spears, guns and pistols, and refused to move an inch. Frank Whitlock again ordered them to leave, but instead of leaving one raised a pistol and fired a bullet, which struck watchman John Blackburn squarely in the forehead, knocking him senseless. Then the firing began in earnest. Frank Whitlock raised his rifle and sent a bullet through the body of Frank Gostiek, who fell to the ground, and remained there until picked up by friends and carried from the field. Barney Whitlook pressed the trigger of a double barreled shot gun, and down went Theodore Pratt in a heap, with over 160 No. 5 bird shot in his body. The shooting on both sides continued for several minutes, and two more men on the poachers’ side fell to the earth, apparently dead. After the shooting the Tolleston club men walked back to the club house. The sheriff was notified at 1:80, with a request to come to the scene immediately. Sheriff Hayes was absent, out Deputy Farley with four more deputes, started for the scene at once where they all were put under arrest. The club says that there were fourteen of the poachers on the club lands. They did not come to hunt rats with that number, but organized a posse to shoot our watchman in their tracts, but our men got the drop on them first. The Tolleston gun club is made up of about 250 Chicago sporting men. And claim that they have been troubled a great deal with these kind of people. ' ,; ‘ t This is the third murderous figfrt that has,occurred at the club grounds and there is groat excitement among the neighboring farmers and high talk is indulged in,
