Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana, Friday, June 15,1897.

Many newspapers are adopting various plans to meet the exigencies forced upon them by the bard times. Some conclude to try a reduction of the subscription price and hope to increase trie number of subscribers; others announce that they will throw off 50 cents ter annum to delinquents who will square up arrearages. We do not think either of these plans will pay. With wheat stating at 50 @ 60, oats 10 @ 12, corn 15 @ 16 producers find it next to impossible to make their income meet their necessities. We have concluded, tor a time at least, to meet the emergency, in reducing our necessary cash outlay each week by reducing the size 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. HOW TO FINO OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass nith urine and let it stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of Ihe kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder{and every part of the urinery passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor wine or beer, arid overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compel ed to get up many times during the mght to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon rtalized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you ueed r medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and one dollar. For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention Democratic Sentinel and send your full post-office address to Or.

-1896EXPORT, 91,000,878,417 s IMPORT, 8680,556,233. Balance of Trade for Uncle Sam, 8325.322, 184 Largest ever knewn I The Dingley bill can’t beat the above showing. “A decrease in wages must tako place before prosperity can be ex pected.”—Stephen B. Flkins. U. 8. Senator (rep ) and monop disk Ex Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in speaking of the tariff bill has this to sav: “From a Republican point of view it would be better that the tariff bill should fail than that the senate sugar schedule should stand. It is the most brazenland audaoisus hold up of the century. It makes train robbery respectable. It hts no ex cuse except the insatiable greedland rapacity of the most shameless squad of plunderers that ever escaped the penitentiary. Ordinary marauders are content to rob a bank or swindle a community. These brigands propose to pillage the nation, and to compel congress to become their accomplices.”

“Every one knows,” says the Indianapolis News, (rep.) “that the extra session was convened for the purpose of making a tariff that would yield m.re revenue than that which the government now receives. Mr. McKinley in his call summoning congress, and in his message to it dwelt with much impressiveness on the necessity for greater revenue. Many assurances were given that there was no purpose to impose extravagant protective taxes; Mr. McKinley was animated solely by .he desire to relieve the embarrassments of the treasury. L ittle or nothing was said about protection. The fair inference from every statement made by those in authority is that if there had been no deficit there would have been no extra session. Yet in spite of this consuming desire -to increase the rev; enue, we are now told, after weeks, and months of work over a tariff which was to be framed especially for revenue purposes, that the republican leaders are apprehensive lest neither of the bills now before the country will yield sufficient revenue. That in, the gentlemen have been so busy in protecting everybody, that they Lave quite forgotten the needs of the treasury. And now when the work is, we hone,approaching completion,they are frightened lest the purpose which they professed to have in view may be unaccomplished. In a word, the sugar trust is bigger in their eyes than the government itself.” “Senator Aldrich has told the country that the Dingley bill will, if adopted, yield insufficient revenn \ He was so distrustful of his own bill as a revenue measure that he was driven to increase the beer tax and to impose a taxon tea—both purely revenue taxes. Even with these taxes the chief of the Bureau of Statistics is on record as saying that the senate bill will be as defective as tbe house bill from the revenue point of view. And now with the increased beer tax and the tea tax abandoned, the country has good reason to fear that any bill hkelv to b? adopted will result in a deficit.”

The sugar schedule of the new tariff gives the sugar trust more protection than it has yet enjoyed, and sugar stocl rose promptly as soon as it was known what protec-, tion the sugar refiners are to have. Senator Allison, in his statement defending the sugar schedule said that the sugar trust needs protect tion to the extent proposed in the tariff bill. No revenue will be de rived from the importation of reflned suga! s, because the duty is prohibitory, and the trust will be able to exact from the American people the Pull measure of protection. Millions upon millions of dollars will be poured into the ccfs sere o< the trust under the provisions of the new schedule.

Rev. Mr. Jeffries, Apple Creek, Ohio, will occupy the Presbyterian pulpitnext Sabbath evening. You are invited. The opinion of Chauncey F. Black, President of the Association of Democratic Clubs, is worth framing. He says: “The Chicago convention, which nominated William Jennings Bryan for Presis dent, marked an era in the history of American politics as distinct as the eras of 1776 1800 or 1860. The declaration made by that now historic assemblage was aptly and justly denominated a second decs laration of independence. It was a bold, clear, fearless assertion of the natural and legal rights of the common people to the enjoyment of their own property and the pursuit of their own happiress in their own way, as against privilege and class, and subject only to the needs of government economically administered. That is the sort of platform that lives, no matter how much plutocrats may rave about it.

THE SIMPLE FACTS.

Under the above caption the N. Y. World says: “If we had a duty on tea every cent paid by the consumer under it would go into the treasury to meet the expenses of the governs ment. “If we had an increased tax on beer and tobacco every cent of it would go into the treasury tor a like purpose. “Neither of these taxes would be divided between the treasury and any trust or any favored class. Neither would give the party in po ver an excuse for demanding any contribution to a campaign fund to keep it in power. “But a duty on hides will compel the people to pay rich tribute to th - beef trust. A duty on raw wool will compel the people to pay a heavy bonus to wool growers. A discriminating duty on refippd sugar means the transfer of millions ot the people’s money to the coffers of the sugai trust. “But the present senate is not legislating for -the treasury or for the people, but for Ihe trusts, the favored classes and the contributoas to campaign funds “Therefore the paoposed duty on tea and the additional tax on toI acco and berr are to be abandoned, whilo there is to be a duty on hide*, a duty on wool and a scan dalously discriminative duty on refined sugar. “It is legislation not for the public welfare but for private benefit and corrupt political advantage that we are witnessing just now ’’

The New York Woi Id finds much encouragement in the fact “that men like Mr. Waoamaker, men of large affairs, men skilled in the v ork that gives employment and wages to multitudes, are beginning to protest against that reckless triflng with prosperity in which congress is just now indulging for the sole purpose of rewarding campaign contributors, winning the favor of monopolists and inci* dentally enriching speculative sen . ators who trade upon their dele gated powers. ’— Meriden J< urnal Something will have to I e done to pacify John Wanamaker. He paid to the “advance agent of pros l ' perity” large sums of money for reserved seats and would now like to have his money back. Senator Turpie has presented an amendment to t' e tariff bill providing tor an inheritance tax. It provides that on and after January Ist, 1898, and for five years there*> after there shall be laid and levied a sum equal to 2 per cent of the value of every decedent’s estate as an inheritance tax, where the value of the estate exceeds $5,000. The amendment has the endoisement of the Democratic senators.

The Kentland correspondent of the Indianapolis News, writes that paper: “The court-house controversy is again in evidence. For the past thirty-seven years Kentland has been the capital of Newton county, but for years there has been an earnest effort to move the courthouse to Morocco, which is a more central location. Recently, in order to stop the contention, the citizens of Kentland resolved to fur nish the means to build a new court house, and a total of $25,000 was raided by subscription, Carroll 0. Kent alone contributing SIO,OOO. This subscription was formally tendered to tho commissioners several days a ”o, but objection to its acceptance was raised by the northern part of the county, and yesterday, by a vote of 2 to 1, the matter was postponed until Sep' tember. This was not done until after a long and acrimonious debate, during which H. A. Strohm, editor of the Enterprise, called attention to the fac* that one of the commissioners had admitted, in a private interview, that an attempt had been made to bribe him. Commissioner Parsons then stated that he had been offered $750 by a lepresenUtive of a stone company to vote for the court-house. An investigation has been demanded by Patrick Keefe and other prominent men of Kentland.

The Democrats of the Fourth Indiana district at their convention at Columbus passed the following resolution: “Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the Fourth congres> sional district, in convention as sembled, do hereby reindorse and reaffirm the principles enunciated in the Chicago platform of 189 G - and we adhere to the doctrine of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 without asking the consent of any prince, power, potentate or nation whatsoever.” Every applicant for saloon license in Newton county was defeated, with the exception of the one from Lake Village and Flaherty, of Kentland.—MoroccojL'ouier.

BACKACHE makes the young feel old. and the old feel that life is not worth the living. It’s a danger signal of Kidney Disease—the unerring evidence of weak, inactive and sore Kidneys. Any person cured of .Kidney weakness will tell you that when the back ceased to ache, all troubles ended. Neither liniments, nor plasters, nor electricity can cure it. The seat of the trouble is not in the skin, flesh or muscles. It's in the Kidneys. It can be CURED It is pretty tough on a man who has to work foi a living to be a constant sufferer from weak kidneys and backache as I have been for many years.
