We Need Cash, and Must Have It at Once. |p It is necessary that the publisher of the REPUBLICAN raise a large sum of money immediately. There is more than enough flue the paper to meet present demands but we cannot use it so long as it is out

Standing. As we have been lenient with all our subscribers, it is right that you should call and settle all arrearages at ODce. When you come to the fair call upri pay for the REPUBLICAN sure, or see "Rambler" at the fair grounds.

E. C. WILSON, Mayor of Noblesville, has resigned. He engaged in a contest With the Ledger of that place and sued them for slander. It is evident that the ICayor came off second best.

THE way English capital is coming to country in the way of investments Shows that protection is best both for capital and labor. Laborers have been coming for lo these many years.

THE elixer of life or the lamb juice remedy is being extensively tried by a large number of physicians in the cities. It it a tonic and in some cases produces good effects and others bad. In Louisville Ky. It is supposed to have producad the death of a negro.

THE corner stone laying of the Soldiers Monument at Indianapolis next Thursday promises to be a big thing. President •Harrison will be there and it is likely that ie will remain until the Monday follow»g. The Governors of Indiana, Ohio, llinois, Michigan and Kentucky, will alio be present.

WE see that the local company at Shel•yville who took stock in bringing gAs ato that city from Greenfield have agreed ii the completion of the job to sell their bock to the foreign company of which talvin S. Brice is the* head, at 5o cents on be dollar. The foreign company will ave things all their own way and the ical men will probably wish they had a icing on their stock.

RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

The Repnblican'H Scribe Abroad. As I started to Cumberland this week ie weather was fine as one could wish, id as the train sped along I noticed a iresher or two at work, but it was too 1st in most cases. The corn looked fine id I think a good crop is now assured. the city of Cumberland my first mat as John A. Evans. Mr. Evans is well Siown to Greenfield people. He is still the harness business and has a good ade. He thinks lots of Greenfield and jkes the REPUBLICAN in order to get the jrrect news from there each week. He jay move back if our nail works come. JEd. Monge, the former P. M., hits again jken possession after a little recess of jar years. This is as it should be. sjJohn E. Whistler, over in Marion coun^is one of the most sociable men I have 3t. He authorizes me to state that he for the party of the people, the one fi|we very name sounds a rebuke to all iP^polies, trusts and rings such he links is embodied in protection to W&erican industries.

little fellows in Cumberland, and the popularity of his work and his own social qualities, keeps him busy at work all the time. Read liis ad. in this paper see what lie is doing and give him a call.

Mr. Little, the operator there, is a man of good business qualifications. He runs a nice hotel, and also keeps buggies, wagons and farm machinery for sale. He is enterprising and knows how to hustle.

Coming east nothing of note occurred. I noticed that Mr. Keasoner new house was completed and it is a daisy.

S. E. Smock's new barn also looms up beautifully. I staid all night with Mr. Shelton, and he is a gentleman in every particular. He has nice family and is training Ins little children about right.

At Philadelphia I had a pleasant chat with our numerous pa irons. Mr. Meek likes to keep his name before the people and tells them what he has for supplying their wantw.in a nice ad in this issue.

Xotice the old reliable blacksmiths Stutsman & Elliott's ad in this issue. The next morning while endeavoring to do some business with the people of Philadelphia, the sunny face of our editor appeared upon the scene. He had put away the usual careworn expression, and left the cursing delinquents, the man that wants $5.00 worth of printing for 50 cents and the angry typo, all at the mercy of our devil, and came out to relieve the inouotony and haul me around a little. Long live the editor. After the usual embraces and greetings were over we bore down on Palestine. All nature seemed to be smiling birds singing, geese gabbling, farmers whistling and shouting as they threshed the golden grain, broke the stubborn globe, or watched with evident satisfaction the rapid progress of their growing crops

Down on Sugarcreek we became separated. I wandered ou hoping to meet him soon but did not.

I met Mr. Mauche at Mr. Adams'. He was busy among the threshers and is as clever a man as you would wish to meet He weighs nearly 200 pounds and is a Democrat. His wife takes the REPUB LICAN however, and he reads it and says he knows several Republicans that are real good men. ,J. M. Ashcraft and Henry Hawk are old patrons and may be put down as Republicans that will neither rip, ravel nor run dowa at the heel. I will call on those men again when they are not so busy.

I met Mr. Raba going to help thresh and had a pleasant chat with him. He is elegantly fixed to spend the remainder of his days pretty muck as he pleases. Several of our most esteemed friends and patrons live near Mr. Raba, among whom are Mr. Caraway and Mr. Monger, who live in fine residences. I would like to have given them a call but will have to defer it till another time.

In Palestine while passing the store of J. O. Branson, I heard the cheery voice of the editor calling' 'come in, Rambler.'1 My fears for his safety were immediately allayed and I went in. I there became acquainted with the gentlemanly proprietor of the boes drug store and also Postmaster J. O. Branson. I also had the pleasure of an acquaintance with hie lady assistant, Miss Zella Bennett. Miss Bennett is a lady in every particular, hence it ie no effort for her to act that way. She has been one of the best news gatherers of the REPUBLICAN'S corps and that is saying a good deal for we have none but the best. I am sorry that Miss Bennett does not longer wish to fill that position. We miss her from our list. The people will continue to get the news from there however. Palestine in undoubtedly one of the cleanest, neatest and nicest little towns in Indiana. They have their streets ID fine condition, and their alleys are devoid of the usual rubbish of a country town. The many beautiful residences with their well kept lawns and neatly trimmed evergreens. their business rooms as elean and neatly arranged as they can be made, denote a thrift and enterprise not visually seen. That they are christian people is patent, from the fact that they have four nice churches. The German Evangelical Church is on« of the most neatly finished inside and out in the county, the furniture being of oak and of the most modern pattern, arranged in semi-circular form, so that any one in the house can easily face the preacher. I had the pleasure of meeting the pastor, Mr. Wittich, who is a sociable, clever gentleman. The proprietors of the Nichols & Vansickle store are full of business and have a three-story building and a stock of goods to select from that would be a credit to any county scat. Eaton & Son's store Is neat as a pin, and well stocked with dry goods, lwxts, shoes and hardware. When you call on these gentlemen for anything in their line, they will give you quality with quantity and prices to suit, and they have the social qualities that will win your favor. Call on them.

T. G. Short is also druggist there. His store is well stocked with medicine for the healing of the nation. All prescriptions promptly filled.

Mr. Gesler again has charge of the sawmill and is ready to fill all orders for lumber or frame timber.

I stepped into Waltcke & Son's shoe store and they were both hard at work, and soon demonstrated that they could work and talk too. I was surprised to see a placard on the wall making the statement that they could "boot" every man in town, and I began to be a little alarmed, and when safely on the street I took the first opportunity to ask the occasion for such extravagant statements from small

men. The man accosted began to smile and showed up some number lis, saying that they had booted him a short time before. I caught on, and by little inquiry, found that they had nearly made their statement good already.

Kneriman and also Messrs. Dunner & Co. each have clean meat markets and will supply you with a roast or nice steak at anytime.

Mr. Moudy can cut your hair or shave you neatly, and one great thing in his favor be don't talk much.

Mr. liuber and Mr. Gisel I take to be good horse shoers for they are busy nearly all the time.

The REPUBLICAN cau't tell the people anything about Faut Bros., for their famous wagons and other vehicles are treading the country over and doing the advertising for them, and the fact that they have Charles Ballard at the head of the paint department and O. S. Rodgers in another department, is another good ad. logic tv Helms are millers, and don't you forget it, and the fame of their Gold Dust Hour is proclaimed louder and faster than the paper can do it, for the women have that matter in hand. Read their ad with regard to handling your buckwheat and rye in this issue.

Mrs. Schreiber, Mrs. A. P. Hogle and the Misses Everson can satisfy the women with a neat fitting dress or a nice new hat or bonnet.

Palestine has four good onlcient physicians. I visited Dr. J. M. Ely at his home. The Doctor is a kind, hospitable gentleman. He and his son have a large practice. He is in his 60's, though he does'nt show it. Considerable of the night practice is efficiently attended to by the sou, as his father is beginning to feel somewhat the infirmities of the flesh. I ate dinner with Dr. Kirkhoff. The Doc tor has one of the nicest residences in town, and is a son-in-law of Dr. Ely. He makes many trips over the roads that avail him nothing financially,

I had a pleasant talk with Calvin Bennett. He is master of his trade, that of a mechanic, and is also undertaker.

Most persons in describing men, things or events, reserve something special as a last but nut least. I will not be an exception, and will mention Harry Garver's nice restaurant and dining parlor. Last, but by no means the least of Palestine's business interests, Harry has anew room 70 feet long, divided into different convenient apartments all neatly decorated aud amply supplied with the things necessary to successfully carry on his busi ness. He is supplied with one of the best of cooks and will get you up a good square meal in a few minutes at any hour to all that are acquainted with Harry and his clever, sociable manner, he needs no recommendations. Friends, when in town, patronize him, for some of his delicious it ice-cream.

Going west from town I met Mrs. Bourne and her daughter, Ella, returning from Acton where they had been to hear the Bishop of the M. B. Church. They report an immense crowd and fine discourse.

I staid over night at the Widow———

She has a nice family and il a kindly dieposed lady. Her daughter and her granddaughter living with them, are as handy in attending to the eheres, and more so than many boys of their age. John, the son, is a nice young man, and I am confident that when he gets ou his Sunday clothes and hitches to his nice buggy and starts on the war path, there is a throb of anxiety in more thau one young maiden's heart, as they se» him go by, accompanied with the hope that he will stop at their hitching post.

There is splendid corn along the roads northwest of Palestine, and many fine farms with beautiful residences, with a nice church or school house dotting the country here and there, showing beyond a cavil that the people of Sugarcreek are religious, intelligent, progressive and happy people, and the sassy small boy is also conspicuous for his absence.

They were threshing wheat at our old patron, Milt Pitcher's, when I called, and although it was not quite dinner time, I made many a pretense of examining this or that, or inquiring into the other, that I might have the pleasure of interviewing the many fair women and brave men that usually assemble on such occasions, and last but not least, get a good square meaL awaited, not of course without the earnest solicitations of Mr. Pitcher, while the workers were eating Mr. Pitcher 6howed me the workings of his patent spark arrester. This is a good thing, and in addition to being a safe guard against fire, it proves an economizer of fuel. I think all threshers should use this device.

I had a pleasant talk with our patron, H. Nichols while there, and speaking of Nickles, it must mean 20 of them, for he is good for a big dollar any time.

Although our friend Geo. Lantz has one fine residence he was preparing to build another one on the site of the old Manche homestead that was burned a few months ago. The farmers northeast of this place have about finished their wheat threshing and have begun on their oats, and by the time this appears the threshing season will be over.

I headed for Frank Ellison's for lodging, and got what I wanted. Frank is a Rush county man, and a solid Republican and while Frank don't make much fuss, he is a steady puller, and always in the Don't do any prancing or kick up the dnst, but goes right on raising big hogs and lots of corn and wheat, and assisting his neighbor when he is needed.

Starting home I was overtaken by Trustee Helms and hauled. He and I admired the many nice buildings and good crops as /V

'W.THE GBEENFJLELD REPUBLICAN, FBIDAY AUGUST 16, 1889.

we came along. I heard of one kicker this week, one of those that kick for the pleasure of the thing one that imagines that if a thing is sold him right cheap it's no good, and if he gets quality he kicks on quantity, and then if the whole bill is filled he kicks at you. Then after using tongue, hands aud feet, to his satisfaction, draws that formidable weapon from off his ear, the pen, and begins to kick off abusive epithets on parchment, imagining Le is paralyzing some one or attracting the attention of the admiring public, and if some friend attempts to quiet him by soothing, he begins to kick the harder, aud at the windup he has the impudence to ask if lie lias not done a good job. RAMBLER.

A Protective Taritl' vs. Monopoly,

Among the efforts to popularize the policy of free foreign trade is the charge that Protection encourages "monopoly," the absorption under one control of some entire line of business, and resultant- advance in price of the product thus controlled. Such tactics may be ingenious, and not without influence with the unwary, but upon examination the charge will be found defective in lacking facts for its support. Combinations there are in plenty,aud when these get matters in hand they are quite certain to turn their advantage to personal gain, without fear of law, or sympathy for purchasers of products, but the}- are in no wise chargeable to our protective policy, nor confined to the United States. If there be any truth in the contention of free trade advocates that Protection enhances prices, its effect must be to render combinations more difficult, by requiring larger sums of money for maintaining control of the markets.

The fact is that one of the first combinations for forcing up prices was formed in Great Britain shortly after Richard Cobden and other free trade statesmen had secured changes in the British fiscal policy. This was among the tin-plate manufacturers, and the trust then organized has been pretty solidly preserved to the present time—so well in fact that every effort to encourage the manafacture of tin-plates in this country at once encounters the vigorous opposition of those who reflect English opinion this side the Atlantic.

The fallacy of charging trade combinations to Protection becomes apparent by a glance at two just now especially prominent—the Standard Oil Company and the Coffee Corner. No tariff is laid on either crude petroleum or coffee, and the fact id the latter is not produced in this country at all. The case with sugar, just now forced to an inordinately high figure, differs only in so far as but a tithe of the quan tity involved is of domestic production. The influences operating to "corner" these and other products are found just as potent in England as here in fact efforts In that direction become effective only by control of foreign markets, made possible by the cooperation of foreign capital.

Our tariff is no more responsible for the existence of combinations for putting up prices of products than it is for the agreement between railroads to keep up their freight and passenger charges, the combination of gas companies to make city patrons pay a high price for lights, or a resolution of farmers in a neighborhood to hold their wheat until a certain price is offered.

A very peculiar horse distemper has made its appearance in an extensive ctock and breeding stable in Laporte, The disease is said to have been brought here from Chicago and when a horse is attacked by it his head sometimes swells to twice its normal size, and pus cavities form that have to be opened. Sometimes these cavities form in other parts of the body and they appear to have no' regular action. It differs materially from any horse disease that has appeared in this locality heretofore.
