'THE tariff is a tax," has long been the cry of the Democrats. When peopb come to pay their taxes next year, the\ will find that "Democracy is a tax."

IT makes Democratic editors and poli ticians sick to hear the farmers, wage earners and owners of small homes dtimniner the tax law? pnssed hy the last Legis lature. Democracy is a tax.

IF the piesent good prospect for crop? continue, the farmers may hope to raise sufficient to pay the heavy taxes whicl the Democratic Legislatures of tinpast ten years have saddled upon them.

Epitaph On a Printer—Dead matter. Ex. An article in th" Indianapolis News set? forth that considerable fur is raised in the State. Along about '92 there will also bp a scalp raised in this State, together with whatever fur happens to be attached to it,

THE Shelbyville Democrat says: "The elections of last week have not realized Democrat!-' expectations." The fact is, a reaction has set in from the elections of la-t fall, and the Republican part} organ ized, vigilant, and zealous for the right, is moving on with vim and vigor to victory.

industries

WITH new factories and springing up over our country, encouraged and protected by the McKinley bill and the increased prosperity of the people, you will not hear so much next year about the "Robber Tariff." The "Robber Taxes" that the Democratic Legislature is responsible for, will cause the howling.

THE Republican Party is at the present time practically unanimous for the renomination of President Harrison and favors protection, reciprocity, prosperity and continued progress. The Democracy are badly torn up for a caudidate. Meanwhile the war between the Hill and Cleveland factions, between principles and men, goes merrily on.

the last Legislature taxes were lowered on express companies 50 per cent, on telephone companies 75 per cent, and on sleeping car companies 80 per cent the saloons excused from payinjpny higher license, but to make up for *id losses and other extravagances, the State taxes of the farmers and owners of homes were doubled. Democracy is a tax.

Democratic editors may call the Alliance and F. M. B. A. men "fools" and "cranks," but the last Democratic Legislature made such a tremendous drive for the farmers' pocket book in the way of taxes, that we are not surprised that the Alliance and F. M. B. A. men do not think as Democratic editors want them to, nor will they again vote for another Detnocrtic Legislature.

THE President is continuing li's great speeches throughout the South-West aud West. Every one is a gem. I-Ie is doing grand work for the country and Nation, If all would unite and labor along the lines Ibid down by the President, our present abundant prosperity and happy conditions as a oeople and a Nation would be wonderfully, and largely increased and intensified. The President is an American first, last, and all the time, and desires the prosperity of all the people North, South. East and West, and is devoting his powers to that end.

AT Cra W fordsville last week the Farmers Mutual Benefit Association of Montgomery county, held their county meeting, and the secretary issued the following manifesto which contains very sensible advice. It is good for all men and farmers in particular: "The object of the F. M. B. A. is to unite the farmers of the United States, states and counties, in'all matters pertaining to the interest of their calling, to devise ways and means whereby they may more effectually promote the general welfare to improve the modes of agriculture, horticulture and stock raising to adopt such rotation of crops as may improve, rather than impoverish, the soil to devise aud encourage such systems of concentration and co-operation as may diminish the cost of production, and of fartii life and farm operations, and secure the best possible returns from farm productions." They claim that by being organized that they "have the advantage of exchanging ideas, sympathy and disseminating timely aud important information, and of uniting interests and combining strengt h." They also agree to "acquaint themselves with and to support our muncipal, county, State and national laws not to interfere with any other business class or profession, but rather to respect all legitimate business and prof eve ions." They will also "promptly and fearlessly place the stamp of condemnation on every business or profess on which in their judgment is calculated to interfere with their rights, and will be progressive in thought and action." They will "endeavor to advance the county in general—morally, intellectually and financially—and will rely on an dence for ultimate success."

AN old mau was heard to make the remark last Saturday that he had voted the Democratic ticket all his life, but that :hat party had elevated taxes to such a iigh rate that it almos-t broke a man up, md that never again would he vote the Democratic ticket. There are many more the same mind.

THE press, the pulpic and the people are one, in the opiuion that our immigration laws should be more stringeut and also nore \'ig rously enforced. In this country let the American type of manhood tnd womanhood be most thoroughly and perfectly developed, free from taint by the corrupting influences of the paupers, the criminal classes and the refuse of Europe.

THERE has been much complaining this vear on account of high taxes. The people of this city, township, county and State, should understand that the entire responsibility rests with the Democratic party. They have made the assessments and also the leyies under which all our taxes are collected. The Democrats have coutrol of our citv government and have taxation at a high rate. The Democratic board of county commissioners have also given the list a big lift, and the last Democratic Legislature have whooped taxes away up, almost beyond endurance. Democracy is in leed a tax. If a man votes the Democratic ticket, he should not growl at taxes because they were imposed all along the line by Democrats.^

Joseph Baldwin Head.

Iu the winter of 1890, Joseph Baldwin had an attack of lagrippe, from which he never recovered. This trouble was also increased by a kidney disease pronounced by some to be Bright's disease. He did ail that medical skill could do to prolong his life, but the end came. He has been at West Baden and only last Saturday returned from there in a critical condition. He was known to be seriously ill but no one expected the end to be so near He died on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock During the last day or two he suffered intense pain in the back of his head. Mr. Baldwin was one of the best known citizens of the county, having been born in the county 47 years ago, and having been in active business here in Greenfield for the last 26 years. For six years as a grain dealer with W. F. Pratt, and since that time as a hardware merchant. Mr. Baldwin's mother died frhen ~a$was quite young, and his father John Baldwin, soon after as a soldier in the Mexicafi war. The elder Baldwin was a member of the Fifth Indiana Infantry, as a comrade of J. H. Carr's in the Mexican war, and Mr. Carr as captain of Company B., enlisted Joseph Baldwin in the 99th Indiana Regiment Volunteers, in the late war. Mr. Baldwin went out in August, 1862, and was compelled on account of sickness to retire from the army in 1864. After the death of his parents Mr. Baldwin was raised by John Canada and John Coombs of Brown township and his uncle, Smith Davis of Madison county, until he enlisted in the army. As was stated earlier, his entire business career has been here in Greenfield. He was at the time.of his death connected with the various Masonic Orders as follows: The Blue Lodge, The Royal Arch Masons, Knight Templars, at Knightstown and the Scottish Rite and Mystic Shrine at Indianapolis. In former years he was connected with the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and G. A. R., but not at his death. Mr. Baldwin has always been an active Democrat and for a number of years has been one of the city school trustees.*" He leaves a wife and eleven children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He leaves considerable property, as follows: a fine farm 1% miles north of Greenfield on the Eden pike, a fine home here iu the city, his large bardware store and business and a $4000 insurance policy in Masonic Mutual. On Wednesday at 10 a. m. funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. J. P. Hutchinson of the Presbyterian church. His remarks were brief and appropriate. The singing was conducted by Mr. R. M. Lynn and members of the Presbyterian choir, both at the bouse and grave- The Knightstown Cotntnanderv Knight) Templar, No. 9, had charge of the ceremonies. The Greenfield Light Infantry and Hancock Lodge No. 101 F. & A. M., also participated in the procession and exercises. There were also an immense number of citizens from all parts of the county. The funeral was one of the largest that has been here in years. The services throughout were very impressive. The funeral dirges of the Citizen band on the way, and the beautiful services of the Knights Templar at the open grave aroused the deepest feelings of the large assemblage. Mrs. Baldwin and her fatherless children have the deep spmpathy of this community in the loss of the husband and father, who had bound many friends to him on account of his noble, manly and generous traits of character. During the time of the funeral from 10 o'clock until 12:30 p. m., out of respect for the family and the deceased, every business house in the city was closed and all united in paying the last honors and tributes to the dead. This was appropri

OF INTEREST TO SUNDAY-SCHOOL OKK hlt&k.

4 1" ''A "How I Conduct an ItUant Class."

Paper read before Walnut Ridge Bible School Conference held ai Greenfield, lnH., 4th month, 11th day, '91, by Cynthia A. Fries:

One of the first qualifications of a good primary teacher, is a geuuiue love for little children, a love that will beam forth iu the smile with which she greets them, either on the street or in the class but the love and smile must be genuiue. The cnild will detect all pretense or sham.

Prof. Hewett says: "If you wish to awaken the child's love for yourself, expect it only in return for genuine love for him."

It is much easier to deceive a grown person thin a little child. In the old poem the child says:

I do not love thee Dr. Fell, The rea»on why .. cautiut tell.

No doubt there was a goud reason, which the child felt, although she could not tell it, and we suspect an equally good reason generally exists for the child's* likes and dislikes.

Another important qualification is a thorough knowledge of childish nature, both mental aud physical. The ordinary child does not seem capv.ble of concentrating its mind on one thing very long at a time, hence the teacber should frequently change the exercises in the class. It is difficult for most children to remain in the same position loug at a time. With this in view, arrange the class work so as to allow them to change their po sition frequently. This is much easier done when the teacher has a class room. The child naturally wants to see what we are talking about, hence the use of the blackboard and object lessons.

When the teacher has prayerfully studied the lesson, with these thoughts in view, and decided just what truths she wishes to impress on the minds of the children, and planned to tell tiie lesson story, with this end in view, and just what illustrations she wishes to use to impress tuese truths, she is ready to go before her class.

The manner in which one would proceed in teaching an infant class would depend somewhat on the size of their cla^s and the place iu^ which tiie recitation is conducted.

The class that I have had charge of the past winter usually numbered from twenty to thirty. We had a class-room iu which to conduct the recitation.

We usually began the recitation by the class standing and repeating the Lord's prayer in concert.

We then sing a verse or two. after which we review last Sunday's lesson, usnally by questioning the class on the principal points of the lesson, and the truths taught. I occasionally, in review, tell them a short story aud call on the children to make the application.

Once, when the Sabbath previous I had tried to impress the truths taught in the lesson by comparing their min is to a garden in which grew flowers aud weeds, I told a story of a little boy who disobeyed his mamma, and asked the children what was in his heart. One little boy answered "A great big weed." The question was asked "How get it out?" And answered, "Pull it up. At the close of the review the little ones are tired of sitting and are ready to stand and sing a verse of "Beautiful Little Hands." or some other song that will give them exercise.

Now we are ready for the lesson story, which I endeavor to tell in child's simple language.

I like best to tell the story, chalk in Land, aud do the illustrating on the board as I talk. To be sure the drawings are very rude, and might be made much more artistic if they were on the board just before the class convened, when much more time could be given to the work, but I fiud they hold the attention of the children much better than they would if they were on the board at the beginning of the recitation, far the children would have been looking at them just when we wished them to be interested in something else, and would have lost their interest in the picture by the'time we were ready to use it. Almost all the lessons can be illustrated to a certain extent, somtf much more than others.

In the lesson about the vine-yard, the children were much interested in planting the vine-yard, building trellises for the grapevines, and in building the winepress, the tower and the fence around the vineyard.

In the lesson about the last supper we made the table and set it, putting a plate on for Christ and one for each of his dirciples.

In the lesson about Christ's going in the gardeu and His trial, we pictured the garden just outside the city the tree under which the three disciples slept and t! one under which Christ prayed the brook between the garden and the city, also the city and the different places to which Christ was taken during the trial. I also find the use of word pictures very helpful, as in speaking of Elijah's long journey from Chereth to Ridon, we tried to picture Elijah, worn'and weary, and the desolate condition of the country through which he traveled.

I like to picture Christ and his disciples on that memorable walk to Emmeus and the gladness of the disciple's faces when th» discovered who was with them.

At the close of the lesson I endeavor to fasten the truths taught on their minds. This can often be dose by illustrating them with a short story of simple child life. This is the most important part of the lesson, and that to which the most

^rf"

it N^\, 4 *.*

study and prayer need be given. All the rest of the recitation should tend to this end.

The practical teachings should be such that they can be taken homo with them and used every day. The Sunday school lesson should help them to be better bovs and girls all through the week.
