THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS,

LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr. G. N. Netherton, of the Car Works, Speaks at Champer's Hall.

THE CAR WORKS CLUB MEETING LAST WEEK.

Good News from Missouri by one of the Veterans—Local Notes.

The Sixth Ward Car Works' Republican club was addressed last night at its club room, Champer's hall, by Judge Eggleston and Mr. G. N. Netherton, a laborer in the car works. The hall was filled beyond its seating capacity, and besides the Beats that the window sills afforded, a number availed themselves of standing room. Mr. Netherton made the principal address of the evening, Judge Eggleston confining himself to a brief talk of the president's vetoes. Mr. Netherton is a very forcible speaker and has at his command an ample supply of facts. After a brief review of the duties of citizens to think for themselves upon all questions, he took up the tariff question. He referred to the internal revenue system as a price paid by the people for their country's preservation during war, and as purely a war and not a peace tax. This tax, he said, had been abolished from most articles and those now BO taxed could be counted on the hngers. He then took up the protection tariff as it affects the price of commodities to the consumers and the wages of the laborer. He showed that the low tariff system that operated from '40 to 'GO did not make articles cheaper to the consumer but, quite the contrary. He adhered closely to statistics throughout and called attention to the fact that those statistics had been promulgated by the several national bureaus which were sometimes in charge of Democrats and sometimes of Republicans. This fact made their use fair to both parties. A suit of clothes that could be bought from '46 to 'GO for $14 could now be purchased for $10 a square foot of plate glass then cost from $'2 to S'2.50 now it can be bought for 81, the price of silk has been reduced from 18 to 40 per cent., according to the grade of the article bar iron had been reduced from $71 to Sol. The value of property had increased 1G0 per cent since 1800, while the rate of increase from '40 to '00 was not even 100 per cent. wages now for day laborers averaged at 81.25 per day, then averaged 70 cents. Tlien came a very forcible application A laborer to buy a suit of clothes worth 811, with the low tariff was forced to work at 70 cents per day and, therefore, twenty days to pay for that suit. On the contrary, with a high tariff, he is now able to purchase the same suit for $10, and, since he receives $1.25 per day, he is required to work but eight days to pay for the suit. Here he again appealed to the audience to retain these facts, investigate statistics for themselves, and think for themselves upon this question. The speaker exemplified the absurdity of free traders in practice by using our country fair association as an example. He said in substance that the fair association charge admission at the gates to all. Some man from a distance across the country hears of the fair and brings a large wagon load of goods to the grounds, pays the gate fees for himself and wagon, enters the grounds and begins to sell his commodities. Presently some one calls his attention by asking if he has paid his license to sell. He answers in the negative and adds that he is a free trader. He is then informed that the fair is for the good of the community and that Terre Haute has merchants who pay taxes in this community and whose interests are here always and that if he wishes to compete with them he must pay for the privilege. He refuses, leaves the grounds, comes into the city and there begins his sales. His experience with the city authorities is the same as at the fair and he again rejuins that he believes in free trade. He is again informed that the merchants here are here to stay, and that his free competition with them would be against their best interests. Again he is compelled to move on. Now, this is the practice of free traders everywhere, yet they harp on free exchange of commodities between nations and yet do not wish to practice it at their own doors. Mr. Netherton was frequently interrupted with applause and every point was clear and hit the mark.

The Hon. John Jarrett, of Milwaukee, and president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers, will speak at the wigwam in this city on the evening of Saturday, September 15th.

Congressman Johnston will speak in Sullivan county as follows: September 19th at Farmersburg in the afternoon and at New Lebanon at night at Pleasantville on the afternoon of September 20th and at Dugger at night.

The Republicans of Lost Creek township will have a pole raising and massmeeting at Glendale Saturday, September loth, at 2 o'clock. There will be several good speakers present and a rousing meeting is promised.

The Hon. James T.Johnson has arranged for twelve days'absence from congress and will divide his time equally between the several counties of the district, giving two days to each county. The places of speaking already announced will be the only ones at which he will speak till congress adjourns.

There has been a change made in the places at which Congressman Johnson is to speak next Tuesday. Yesterday's Express announced that he» would speak next Tuesday at 2 o'clock, p. m., at Pontanet, and at 8 o'clock", p. m., at Sanford. These places have since been reversed. He will speak at Sanford at 1:30 o'clock, and at Fontanet at 8 p. m.

The Republican meeting at Vigo, Prairie Creek township, Wednesday afternoon, was a decided success. The speaker's stand was erected under the spreading boughs of a stately elm and decorated with evergreens. Comfortable seats were provided, but were inadequate. Many were compelled to stand or tind seats in carriages and wagons with which the grove was filled. The "Jim Johnston" guards and drum corps were on hand and made things lively. In accordance with the programme, S. C. Stimson and W. H. Soale were present and addressed the people. The latter in an effective manner showed that what appeared to be Democratic liberality in the matter of pensions is purely the result of Republican legislation, and that the administration has done all in its power to prevent pensions, by the veto, which has been used with wonderful liberality. Mr. Stimson in a strong presentation of the tariff made many happy hits, and his speech abounded in forci cible aud convincing illuBtratious.

FRIDAY MORNING,

Judge B. E. Rhoads being present, was called upon, and responded in his happiest vein, and in a masterly manner contrasted the bold foreign policy of Republican administrations with the vascilating and halting policy of the present one, which seems to be more the mouth-piece of English statesmen than of the American people.

Chairman Fitzpatrick states that the Democrats have no intention of giving Colonel Matson a reception Saturday evening. He requested the state central committee several weeks ago to make no appointments for speakers for this city during the soldiers' reunion. The report of the Matson rally was based on a statement made by the Greencastle Democrat to that effect.

Friday evening there will be a large Republican meeting at Fontanet addressed by the Hon. Daniel W. Laughlin and the Hon. P. H. Donnelly, of Illinois. The Fontanet brass band will furnish music on the occasion. The county candidates and others will go out on the 3:47 p. m. train, returning at about midnight. Mr. Laughlin is a miner, and is devoting himself to campaign work among the miners, and the people engaged in that industry at Coal Bluff and the surrounding region will join with the miners of Fontanet in making the meeting a great success.

Adjutant H. L. Tillotson, of the Eighty-fifth Indiana infantry, and who is now living at Nevada, Mo., speaks very encouragingly of the political outlook in that state. He has been in thirteen precincts in his county in southwestern Missouri, organizing Republican clubs. He says that in every one of these localities the enthusiasm is unprecedented, and that in every club organized from three to five men who voted for Cleveland in 1884 identify themselves with the Republicans. He says that if the remainder of Missouri does as well as southwestern Missouri the Republicans will gain about 20,000 or more.

STOLEN MONEY POOCHES.

A Cans of Thieves Stealing Systematically From United States Mails. NKW YORK, September G.—An afternoon paper says: It can be set down as a positive fact that a thief or gang of thieves have been stealing systematically from the United States mails between this city and the West during the last three months. Whatever may be said to the contrary will not alter the fact. This information is absolute and subsequent developments will prove it. Never in the history of the postoltice department have so many valuable money pouches and letters been stolen as during the last few week6. It is safe to say, too, that the reports of losses will continue to come in for some time yet. The officers of the postoflice have been very reticent about making known the extent of the losses. Whenever it has leaked out that a large package was lost those in charge of the postoflice have sought to keep the information from the public. Nothing has been heard of the three 85,000 drafts mailed on Friday by Blake Bros. & Co. which have failed to reach their destination. A careful search is being made for them, but so far without success. "Besides the Blake notes, other letters containing money, checks and drafts mailed about the same time are reported as having failed to reach their destination. The losses will amount to thousands of dollars. A well-known man connected with the postoffice department in Washington said to-day that if the losses of the last two months were known, the public would be startled. "This is not all," Baid this gentleman. "You will hear of more losses of packages and letters in a short time. There are some crooks at work who are reaping a rich harvest from the mail bags, but it will be a hard matter to run them down, because they do not confine their operations to one locality."

Has Anybody Seen Him?

WASHINGTON, September 0.—A mysterious looking passage was received at the state department yesterday. It was stamped all over with marks of travel and had apparently come a long way. The address was not plain, but in the light of.previouB knowledge the officials read it to be for Hadi Ilassem Kouli Kahn Mohamed-El-Vesare,the new Persian minister who started for Washington from the Orient a long time ago, but has not yet put in an appearance. All the search that the United States consuls all over Europe have been able to make has failed to find any trace of the missing Hadi.

Dancing Party.

There was a delightful dance last evening at the residence of Mr. W. H. Armstrong. Games were indulged in during the earlier part of the evening aud later on dancing. Among the young ladies present were: Misses Anna and Kate Carleton, May Crawford, Mary Peddle, May and Kate Armstrong and Rose Far: rington. The gentlemen present were: Messrs. Harry Sleight, Roland Buntin, Robert Johnson, Chas. Mendenhall, Richard Strong, Stanton Merrill and Geo. Crain, of New York City, who is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Crawford.

Kxtemliug' the Double Track. Yesterday a large force of men were put to work at Seventh street laying the double track of the street railroad company.

It was all built this summer with the exception of two blocks, from Seventh to Ninth street. The force of men now at work will continue working west until First street is reached.
