ROGER AIII.LM the Texau free trader, will no doubt be elected speaker of the esent house of Representatives when it meets iu December. W. L) Bynuin of this district will probab'y be made Cnairnmn of the Ways and Meaus Committee and will frame the next tariff bill. It will not pass the Senate however.

THE forming of Republican clubs all over the coutrry is progressing rapidly. The campaign of lfc92 is to be one of ideas People should read, study and rifled, and then vote for the measures that will briug the greatest good to the greatest number Clubs should be organized in tins county at once, and you should not ouly join, but see that your neighbor joins. The principles of the Republican irty are right, and stand the test of investigation.

MILLS for Speaker and Bynum for the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. seems to be the Cleveland program an.I I lie fight of 1892 will be made on the tariff. It is about conceded that Cleveland is not ia it however. Iu an interview with the Washington Critic, Mr. Hyniini predicts the nomination of Ar thnr P. Gorman the Baltimore Senator, for President. He extols his \irtues and s.i lie would sweep the country. Byumu seems to have gone back ou Uncle Isaac uray.

DURING this term of court the gambling fraternity of this city has been receiving some hard blows. Public opiniou is largely agaiust the lawless acis of the gamblers, and while in individual case# the punishmeut appears severe, it teaches a lesson. The Jaws must be obeyed. Have the owners of the buildings win re the gambling has been going on be« prosecuted? Now thac the contest is ou the investigations should go to the bottom facts.

WAGES are higher and the price of its products are lower now than in 1860, with th« exception of agricultural products when the present protection laws were not iu operation. To show how much more a day's work will buy under Protection, read the following comparison: The price of Standard sheetings was \\i cent a yard less in 1887 thau in 1860 the pay of the cottou-weaver was $1.21 a day in 1887 agaiust 80 ceuts in 1860, and a day's wages in 1887 purchased 16.8 yards of sheeting again8t9 7 yards in 1860—all of which is a condensed argument to show that la bor is benefited by protection.

THE REPUBLICAN has determined to publish a sketch of as large a number of the old pioneers of this couuty as desire the same. Sketch 8 ouly of persons over 80 years of age is desired. If facts and figutes are given they will be arranged and written in the proper fortx at this office. Sketches cau *»e brought iu at any time. We desire to get a number on hand before the publication begins and will pub lish them as opportunity occurs. Young man, youug woman, see that our aged parents or grand pareuts are written up aud their deeds made memorable.

THE New York Suu, a Democratic prot ection paier says the American trade inwire nails is indebted to the tariff of four ceuts a pound under the law of 1883 for its wonderful growth in uiue years. The REPUBLICAN is quite certain the Sun tells the truth in this case. It is also certain that it will reduce the price ou other articles that are protected, because with Americau genius aud industry protected they cau beat the world with their labor saving machinery and skill. Let us turn to the table of American statistics, and see what has been the effects of the tariff ou wire nails. The price per keg given tor each year is the average for all sizes: Year No kegs Av price lear No fcegs A pi ice 188 2 50,000 |8 32 1887 500.000 .$4.81 188 3 -30,000 8 83 1888 1,000,000 3 20 188 4 120,000 7.41 1889 2,200,000 2.96 188 5 200.000 6 09 18..0.....2,500,000 2 85 188 6 500,000 4.64

We poiut with pride to the wire nail record. The tariff of four cents a pound is evideutly not added to the cost of the nails. That the tariff is added on articles that we are fully able to supply the de-

I find a no more progressive, industrious or intelligent class of people in all my tra els than at Fortville. Her business men are among the most enterprising to be found in the ronnty and I am proud to class them among my best friends. For straiaht. forward social and business principles the well known drug linn of Brewster & Thomas, is noted, attfl although voting men. they have eKt:iblihed a repnuition as druggists an' apot'ieiviries that is second to none. I never fail to ••all at their st"ie, lor if they have'nt any business to tlan-act with me. they have the genial •'ispnsition that is n'w ays appreciated bv all the 'solemn brood of care." They have given their business room a complete over hauling and put in incandescent, lights, which helps the appearance of things generally, and 1 am prepared to pu' forth the statement that in n» similarly situated establishm« lit can a better and more favorable showing be made than is made by tnem. They carry a full line of wall papers, paints, ett*.,. in connection with their large and varied stock of drugs and medicines, and they do not have to beg for customers. Being a thoroughly representative establishment in the business. They control a large share of the surrounding patronage, aud I do not hesitate to recommend them lo the careful consideration of our readers, assuring them that in every respect they will find them cinipetent to supply anything iu their line at all times, and to lie able to meet all conipe ition. Hence I cau most heartily recommend them to the people of their community.

At the invitation of I. L. Wiseman proprietor of the well known Wiseman House, I went and dined at his table at the supper hour. The meal was the kind that always characterizes this hotel. Mr. Wiseman is one of the oldest and best landlords iu the county. He and his wife take pains to promote the comfort and contentment of their guests. His charges are always reasonable I would recommend the weary trav ler who desires rest aud food, to this house which is located corner of Staat and Merrill streets.

The Springer Brothers nr.' among the most wide a waKe spirits of Fortville. Their well known and essentially representative furnishing house, contains as fine an well assorted stock of dry goods, boots, shoes, groceries, eic.., as will be found iu any similar establishment. T. L. Springer the manager, is of a courte ous and kind disposition that wins and holds his customers good favor. Their saw and planing mill is manipulated by I J. F. aud

THE GREENFIELD REJ TJBLICAN, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1891.

N. Springer, two iugeuious

young men who are capable of making a nice planing mill outof a worn out reaper. They have fitted up a nice office in their mill where they can transact their business away front the noise and bustle of the machinery. All the subjects of the above sketch are men with whom I am personally acquainted, and gentlemen whom 1 take pride in giving space in Ramblers Rounds. I have always fouud them fully up to the times iu their business. Yet always having time for a pleasant word and a court eons greeting. in looking over both store aud mill I have found everything in order showing a thorough and systematic management.

Wisehart & Shaffer were having their business room papered and painted in the latest and most aporoved style, which rentiers it one of the cleanest and neatest restaurants to be fouud. These are both clever gentlemen and enjoy a large and unlimited patronage of the people.

Elmore West is one of tha jolly big men of the town. He is the stove dealer there, and carries a full line of the above together with tinware and farming machinery, embracing the well known Deering binder. Mr. West also has a perfect contrivance for sinking tubular wells, which he does reasonable.

The enterprise of tne people is as marked at ctville as is that of the individual. They have located a fine creamery there, which is uow running aud turning out a fine product of gilt edge butter and cheese. Isom Denny is president aud R. J. Sample secretary of the company.

W. Clay tor, while meutioned this far along iu my notes, is one of the best and most favorably known business men in Fortville. He well knows the virtue in a good advertisement and furnishes the public with a specimen frequently of unique and skillful, advertisements which never fail to attract the attention of the public, who in turn never fail to t»ectire some of his baigains in dry goods groceries, etc.

At another time I will mention others of our good friends among the merchants at Fortville, who fro -a the want of space will have to be omitted from these remarks They include A. C. Pilkinton, S. H. McCarty, who by the way has added a fine new hearse to his undertaking establishment, also many other new features from time to time, which are essential to a successful undertaker. It is a business that requires a thrrough experience and preliminary training in order to follow it successfully. Both of the above requisites are possessed by Mr. McCarty, which renders him a desirable undertaker to have lay our beloved dead away.

I will also be compelled to omit including Jos. Bills & Co ,so much could he truthfully said of this firm that I will defer it 'till space will permit. Haskell & Cook Bros, come in next round and many individuals also. W. H. Vest too shall have mention next time, pertaining to his re

rtS'rt of ali desiring a pleasant and easy shave 1 saw many of our friends in the country and again sought the hospitable abode of A. C. Hidaj, my reception was as usual, one of welcome. Mrs. Hiday was looking more happy thau usual from the fact that a sister Mrs. Li una Cauldwell of Fremont, Neb., was visiting her. These visits of long parted brothers and sisters form an oasis in the desert ot life, which will blossom with sweet memories lo the eud of time.

I drove over to Alfonte to see our friends, aud lliet the ex-kdeii merchant, J. W. Huston there, lie is working his farm uow ami was ivin^ some repairing done t«y our patron .1 lJ. Modliu. Air 11 ulon informed me that his neighbor Ezra Prater and wile, are now the please I and happy .rents of a b'g Republican boy.

Mainfold Bros, are wideawake busiues men at Alfonte, and have bren making sh.pnientsof 1,700 dozen eggs a week.

Mr. Cummins the postmaster and grocer, is enjoying a good trade. 1 l« came acquainted with one of the Randall Bros, of Alfonte. These gentlemen aie pioprietors of he Alfonte sawmill, also dea'er iu all kinds of gas supplies. They have recently begun the erection of a large elevator which will add much to the business interests of the town, and which will be much appreciated by the farmers of the burrouudiuu country. Tc.e are enjoyiug a large aud increasing trade ill their line, which they fully de-erve, for no firm in Alfonte has contributed more for bttiidihg up the interests of their locality thau Randall Bros The tioys are bachelors, but I think they fully realize that it is not good tor mau to he alone. »o tl ey should becure them good helpmeets.

Chas. Copper consented to become a su scrilter to this paper together with G. W. Fleming of Alfonte.

A: cert at id ng that our old friends Mr. and Mrs Jos uwynne were in good health I did not call on them this time, but drove buck toward Fortville aud put up with our reliable friend S. H. (ireer To say tliat Mr. Greer is an agreeable host, is not tully expressing it for he and his itife are kiud and obliging, and make one teel at ease while sojourning with them. Mr Greer as a nice little home surrounded with blossoming fruit trees of all varieties. He is bu-sy in his tile manufactory now, and had thega^ turned on his first kiln. Mr. Greer's tile are of the I e-*t quality and he sells hundreds of thousands tollaucockcounty farmers who know full well the value they possess as a redeemer of wet soil, which means hundreds of jicres of our best land has been made piodu tive.

I stopp at Roberts & WaPer's livery baru to feed Charlie, and have a word with them. Their barn is one of tlnj -t and its management the same. boys are experienced liverv men. and .hev like all well regulated livery firms insist on the motto '•Whip light and drive slow cash in liaud before you go

While paying for his paper J. P. Arnelt informed me that he is learning to man ipulate the machinery at the creamery and he will no doubt become a first, class butter maker with practice. His sister V'iss Li I lie. the popular milliner, has re moved her stock of goods down stairs and is now prepared better thau ever to I urnish a neat hat. or bonnet at low figure. The ladies all recognize the

iiece-s!ty

SHELBYVILLE

of an

experie"ced and fashionable milliner, aud I would not hesitate to say that Miss Arnett fills the bill.

Henry Hiday had suspended work on accouut of a criopled hand. W. S. Bills has a nice house west of Fortville, he was busy iu his garden when I passed that way. He has met with many reverses in the last few years, having lost his wife, and had his large barn burned together with 6 head of horses.

The little hamlet of Woodbury was very quiet when 1 was there, most of the inhabitants being busy in the fields. I went about and visited some of them and added their names to our pubscripMo:.! list among them Frank Vanzaut, a crippled soldier, who is now getting a good pension and is happy as any one cau be ho is disabled. Fratikliu Dunh.Mii also kindly consented to have hit* name added to our list over there. Mr. Dunham is 75 years old. and has a nice home, having raised a family of children who have all gone out aud donned the yoke of the burden of life. Among them our patrons Henry, Hiram aud James. John Brantlinger also joined the pr cession and will uot be sorrv he did it.

S. Gaskins south of Woodbury renewed also. Mr. Gaskins has one of the nicest homes on the McCordsville pike. Uncle J. H. Thomas lives just west of Mr. Gaskins. I drove iuto his barnlot at noon and enjoyed a long noon hour with them Mr. Thomas is well fixed and he and his go wife can now enjoy the fruits of their labor, and I hope they may live to a good old age and go down to the grave with life's race well run

James Hamilton had become a widower and renewed his matrimonial all ance since I had met him. this time it teing Annie Roney who had become Mrs. Hamilton. Jim like most people of that section will now receive the REPUBLICAN. He has a nice planing mill which is quite an acquisition to the town he also builds and paints buggies and wagons.

N. B. Gaskins, son of S Gaskins was also added to my list Poor blacksmiths are so common, that a good one like Mr. Gaskins is always appreciated and patronized, consequently he has his hands full from morn 'till night. A high standard of excellence marks the popularity of a workman as well as any business. It is needle-s to add that Mr Gaskin is popular in his line as he well deserves to be.

Uncle Henry Crossley was improving some after a long spell of sickness. He is attended by Dr. Howard of Gree field who makes the trip one way in an h'mr and 20

minntes, it is

miles. The Dr.

stands not upon the order of his going, but goes at once. While in Fred's store the cry of fire was heard and all hands rnshed to the scene, which proved to be a house occupied bv widow Horton. Mo»t of Mrs. Horton's goods were saved but it. was with great difficulty that the dwelling of James Hamilton was saved, it was here that Ves Orr distinguished himself as a fire extinguisher. He has been long npposod to fire except In the proper place and has been giving our citizens fire protection at A low rate for several years As the people were excited over the fire, I deferred seeing many of onr friends to another time in tlie near future, and drove south.

RAMSLKB.

voted for a wide open policy on Tuesday of last week. The Shelbyville Weekly Democrat, two da\s later, contains fifteen no ices of application to sell liquor. These, added to those having license, will indeed make lots of paupers, tears and woe.

AMONG the Democrats there is much talk about the Hill and Clevelaud faction coming together. There is not much doubt about tlieir coming together but means fight instead of harmony.

THE bishops of the inethodist church have been holding a conference Greencastle, and last Suuday three of them preached at Greencastle and five at other points throughout the state. Iu fact it was a field day for met hodists. Their bishops are grand and a le men. The Indianapolis -Journalou Mouday contained full reports of this meeting, with a full s.\uopsis of each seruiou aud the main jKiius. It was highly enterprising and shows that the Journal is a great newspaper.
