THE TARIFF

(Democrats Would Reduce Taxation to the Lowest Point Practicable. feboy Reoofnkre the Necessity of Levying I Taxation Far the Simple Parpose of Raising Revenue For the Economical Support of the Government. ■ In the grai'd march of our much daunted civilL rtion, a class of men, not Numerically large, but profound thiukiers upon subjects involving national (prosperity, have come to the front as She advocates of free trade between the ®ationn of the earth. The men who exploit their free trade Bheory would do away with customhouses, the frowning Moro castles •quipped to levy tribute upon the commerce of the world, to be paid, not by 'the nation exporting and selling the'exported jtferohandise, but upon the citizens or subjects of the country who purchase it. The law under which this tax is levied and collected is called a tariff, or the 'tariff under which schedules are prepared and the amounts of money to be pal l on each specified article, which necessarily, and inevitably is paid by the purchaser or consumer. The free ■trade advocates contend that if there wee no tai iff taxes levied the benefits that would accrue to the people, the gn at mass of the people in all of the commercial nations of the earth, would exceed the imagination of philanthropists. Free trade between nations, it is held, would be a potent factor in ushering in the millennial era. It would inti luce harmony and good will in the counsels of nations and do away with the friction, envies and jealousies now exi ting, indeed, it might be said since ‘•God bath made of. one blood all natic .is of men to dwell on all the face of the earth,” it might be well enough to recognize the “fatherhood of God” to the extent of permitting his civilized children to trade together free and untßXed.

' lut the most sublimated of the nations of the earth, except, possibly, En gland, have not reached that free tee de state of perfection where tariffs and schedules, direct and ad valorem taxation oan be dispensed with, and the United States, under the corrupt Dingley law, is in the swim up to its neck—a law never designed so much to put money in the treasury to sustain the government, as to tax the great body of American consumers for the benefit of a comparative small class of corporation patriots, who subscribed liberally to Mark Hano i’s corruption fund, which debauched the nation and elected Major McKinley. The Democratic party is not a free trade party. It recognizes the necessity of levying im ost taxation for the simple purpose of raising revenue for the Gapport of ihe government economically Administered, believing that such taxation is all that any just interpretation of the cons iiution warrants, and that beyond that limit, tariff taxation is (spoliation, direct robbery protected by law, which adds to its infamy, and which no amount of word jugglery can obscure. The high prerogatives of government [in their rela; ion to citizens or subjects are: (1.) T< deprive men of their lives. (•8.) To di; i .ve them of their liberty. i 3,) To deprive them of their property. The latter ‘deprivation often involving conditions as lamentable as the former. In the language of Shylock: “You take n»y life, when you take the means whereby I live,” and a tariff law such as the Dingley abortion, is enacted for the purpose of taking the moans whereby poor men live and handing, the booty over’ to grasping shylocks, who, in the language of the play, “are wolfish, bloody, starved and ravenous.” It is one of the evils inherent in tariff taxations, that it is practically impossible to construct a tariff law, under the ' operations of which selfishness, greed, rapacity and spoliation do not find coverts under the protection of which these curses thrive, but when such monstrosities as the “McKinley law” and the “Dingloy law” are warmed into life in the womb of Republicanism, as prolific of infamies as the ovum of snapping turtles, their number and enormity tasks investigation and defies the capabilities of statisticians. The Democratic idea of tariffs is to reduce taxation under their operation to the lowest point practicable to meet the requirements of government economically administered. But, unavoidably, such tariffs are more or less protective in their operations, since, as a rule, the tux on the imported article advances its price, and if it comes in competition with a home manufactured article, that, as certainly as the imported article, costs the consumer more than otherwise would be charged. Democrats do not deny this postulate. They admit it in all its force, and to the extent practicable would shape tariff laws in the interest of the great body of consumers, because statesmanship wortny of the name seeks to promore the general welfare of the people, which cannot be done if legislation is so shaped as to benefit the few at the expense of the many. Ab has been intimated it is difficult to levy tariff taxation in a way to do even and exact justice to all who pay it. With the lowest tariff the country has ever had there was incidental and unavoidably protection, but when the Democratic party has shaped tariff legislation there has been no purpose to create a favored class and enrich it at the expense of the rank and file of eonsumers, while the Republican party pursues a diametrically opposite policy as is shown by ail the tariff laws for which it stands responsible, the McKinley and the Dingloy laws being the two colossal iafamies which stand to its credit, disteacttvely, and vividly indioate the purpose of the party to create monopolies for the sake of monopolies and to compel the people to pay tribute money to fin their coffers. la so far as thb Dingley law has contributed to the revenues of the government in & time when war demanded funds to meet expenditures, it has been > dismal failure; but not so when the favorttefl of the party are considered, for whose special benefit the law was enacted, under the spacious plea of restoring prosperity to the country. Vrom these pampered pets of the governmeirt no complaints are ever heJrd. in legislation for their benefit inspires them to eulogize it, and prompts them to coutnbuTe liberally of tegoils wrung from labor to perpetuate ■tetrora party wl-.ich. has systemati-

terest of those who, regardless of the poverty the piratical policy entails, with the insatiable thirst of the horse-leech, forever calls for more victims and more blood. To defeat this party of McKinley and Dingley tariffs, and expose its schemes of rapine is the purpose of the Democratic party of Indiana in this campaign, and as the days go by, facts will be piled upon facts until the people, amazed at Republican perfidy, will rally to the standard of Democracy and again give it control of state and national affairs.

THE SCHOOL BOOK LAW

A Monument Commemorative of Democratic Wisdom and Fealty to the Best Interests of the People of Indiana And In Its Operation Saving Millions of Money to the Laboring Men of Indiana In the Cost of School Books For Their Children. It is a well known fact that prior to 1889. the state of Indiana was in the grasp of a school book trust which was as devoid of- conscience as a hungry wolf operating in the midst of a flock of sheep. In writing .of this aggregation of insatiable meu, who for “years had mercilessly robbed the people of Indiana, it is designed to briefly point out to what extent these robberies were perpetrated upon Working Men Seeking to educate their children in the common schools of the state, and which, without let or hinderance, had gone on for years. This schoolbook trust, having ample means at its command, was able to debauch not only a portion of the press, but a large per cent of the school officials of the state, and bring into active operation whenever demanded, a thoroughly equipped army of henchmen to do its bidding and aid it in perpetrating its piracies. At this supreme juncture the Democratic Legislature resolved to put an end to this schoolbook spoliation and lift the intolerable burden from parents who had been compelled to purchase its books; aud there is not in the legislative history of the state a law more in consonance with justice and righteousness than that enacted by the Democratic legislature of 1889, which emancipated the people from the domination of the schoolbook trust. And here it is worth while to say that the Republican Party, as in the case of the Australian ballot law and the revenue law, took a position in favor of the schoolbook trust, and in flagrant opposition to the welfare of the people of the state. But as intimated, the purpose is to show to what exteut the workingmen of Indiana are interested in the financial problem which the Democratic law of 1889 solved for the state.

Enrollment of Schoolchildren. Officially stated, the number of schoolchildren enrolled in Indiana for the year 1888, the year preceding the enact> ment of the antischoolbook trust law, was 514,463. A set of schoolbooks as supplied by the trust cost $9.40, hence it appears that to supply each of the schoolchildren in the state for the year 1888 with a set of books would require the sum of $4,835,952.29. It is stated by officials connected with the state department of education, that a set of schoolbooks on an average, has to be renewed every four years, and assuming that on an average children are in school 12 years, the cost of renewing schoolbooks under the rule of the trust, would be $14,507,856.60. It is fair to assume that one-half of the schoolchildren enrolled in the state in 1888 (257,231) were the -children of citizens, laborers, mechanics and men working on farms, who were required to pay in' 1888, under trust rule, $9.40 for every set of books purchased for their children—amounting to $2,417,976.10. Under the operation of the Democratic schoolbook law passed in 1889, the cost of schoolbooks was reduced one-half, or 50 per cent. This resulted in a saving to the parents of the schoolchildren of the state, as stated, $2,417,976.10 in the purchase of school books. And if, as is assumed, oue-half, of the children enrolled in the common Schools of the state in 1888 were the children of parents who work for a living, the saving to them amounted to $1,208,988.05. And here, again, assuming that during the school age of these children, these sets of books have to be renewed every four years, the saving to wageworkers would amount to the sum of $3,626,964.15 during the 12 years. Under circumstances, as pointed out, and considering the immense benefits accruing to our fellow citizens whose incomes are derived from their labor the Democratic party has a right, predicated upon its fealty to the interests of Iftbor, to expect that workingmen will not overlook its labors in their behalf.

FAMOUS WAR HORSES.

Gallant Chargers that Carried Their Masters Through Great Battles. Out of the many thousands of horses that have carried their riders through battle the number of those whose names are known to fame is comparatively few. One war horse that made a splendid record for himself, and now has his virtues, name and noble deeds engraved on a fitting tombstone, was the little chestnut the great Duke of Wellington rode at the battle of Waterloo. Copenhagen, named after the capital of Denmark, from which country and city he came, was a spirited thououghbred, standing thirteen hands high, and $2,000 was the price paid for him by_the duke. Copenhagen served under Wellington during the Spanish war, and for eighteen hours he carried his master at Waterloo. After this he was sent to the duke’s home, Strathfieldsaye, in England, to take his ease. He received great attention and was honored by a monument at his death by the duke himself. The monument is still to be seen. Nine years after Emperor Napoleon died at St. Helena an old white horse perished of old age and pneumonia in England. The skeleton of this animal is set up In the Royal United Service Institution in Whitehall yard, London, and to all visitors it Is pointed out as Marengo, the charger Napoleon rode at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo came originally from Egypt, and was left to wander on the dismal battlefield when the Emperor was forced to fly for his life. An English officer found and took lilm, and he was sold to an English general. In English pastures, cared for by reverent grooms, this noble white beast passed the latter years of his life far more peacefully and happily than his great and unfortunate master. Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. Ulysses S. 'Grant, Gen. Stonewall Jackson and Gen. Sheridan all brought their favorite chargers safely through many bloody battles, and both Lee and Jackson were outlived by their war horses. Cincinnati, Gen. Grant’s most famous stud, was presented to him by a man also named Grant, but no relation of the fA.it commander. Cincinnati weatheWd the perils of war and died as sineerely, lamented as he had lived respected.

A sober brown horse, the one Washington rode at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, was hung with elaborate mourning robes and led by a groom, ami followed quietly behind the coffin of his dead master. It was on the back of Sorrel that Stonewall Jackson received his death wound, and the plucky little horse then passed into the keeping of his master’s father-in-law, a clergyman. In 1886 he died a death natural to venerable horseflesh after having seen many terrible battles, and his -body, very skillfully mounted, now stands in a glass case, in the library of the Soldiers’ Home, Virginia.

There are very few American children who do not know that Gen. Sheridan’s most noted black warhorse was called Winchester. He, too, outlived all the perils of war, not dying until IS7G, when his body was mounted and now can be seen in the museum of Governor’s Islernd in New York hiv.

Vennsylvanla Coal Miners Robbed by Their Employers. A clerk in a Pennsylvania coal company “supply store” has made some interesting revelations regarding that particular method of robbing the workingman. There are twenty-seven “supply stores" in the coal and coke region, notwithstanding the State law on he subject, and all are owned by tna oal companies, or by heavy stockholders in the corporations. Twenty thou- . and miners or employes of coke ovens are compelled to deal at these stores, and, assuming that the average annual purchases a customer reach S2OO, we have as the total ol the business. All the supplies for a 1 these stofes uro bought for cash by one man, who has an oTce in Pittsburg, and the employe quoted says he Is enabled, by the magnitude of his orders and spot cash payments, to buy from 15 to 25 per. cent, cheaper than the individual private merchant, while the store prices to miners are from 10 to 25 per cent, higher than at ot'.er stores. In other words, he figures a profit to the “pluck me store of from 25 to 50 per cent., an 1 concludes that the stores are often far more profits ble 'to the coal companlesj’than the mines are. These company stores have no bad debts, as other more: ants have. A mine ? can only obtain good; when he has money coming to'him from the coal company. When he exhau te that balance he can obtain no more supplies until he has done more work, an t, as a result of this system, he often sees no ca3h for months at a time

Queer Things About Birds.

No bird of prey has the gift of song Vultures have no sense of smel l Carcasses kept out of their sight are never detected by them. The stork has keen known to perish in the flames of a burning hous*« rather ihan to desert her young. The smallest egg is that of the tiny Mexican humming bird. It is scarcely larger than a pin’s head. The smallest bird is a species of humming bird common in Mexico and Central America. It not quite so large as a blue bottle fly, and weighs twenty grains. The woodpecker is an excellent carpenter; the hole he bores in a tree is exactly round as though lined out with a pair of compass es. An owl cannot move his eyes, as they are fixed in their sockets. The deficiency is a oned for by great free* dom of motion in the muscles of the head and neck. The wings of the owls are lined with a soft down that enables the bird to flyswithout making the slightest sound, a ve: y important matter to a nocturnal bird of wav.
