READ carefully the instructions to voters in another column.

SELF MADE men are alright, but selfmade candidates are not in it.

TIIE Democratic position on the silver question is "wait until after election to pass a free coinage bill."

THE spring municipal elections very generally throughout the country showed substantial gains for the Republicans.

AGAIN the voice of the ex-confererate brigadier is heard in Congress threatening the stability of the Government in case his demands are not granted.

Must the questions of protecting home industry and of paying pensions to defenders of the Nation be fought over with the South in each and every generation? It looks so.

"A. TARIFF for revenue only," is the Democratic doctrine. Now, what does that mean? It means a duty on such articles as are not grown or manufactured in this country, or so low a duty on such as are, as to allow foreign articles of the same kind to complete in our markets with the home product. Tea, coffee, India rubber, and sugar are the leading articles on which a duty should be laid to secure a tariff for revenue only. How would the people like that kind of a tariff.

THE Republican party holds up the stars and stripes, the American ilag and with the proud American Eagle as an emblem marches forth to battle and to victory. IIow is it with the Democratic party their banner is the British free trade Jack and their emblem that ordinary barnyard fowl, the rooster. Tlie Republican party is distinctively for America and her people, their progress and advancement, first, last and all the time. The Democratsc party is for England and her free trade ideas. Why not be American, Republican, for Protection and prosperity.

THE grand old Republican ship of state is moving on irresistably. She has left many wrecks in her wake. In '64 secession and slavery were crushed, in '68. Free trade was knocked out for a time, in '72 wild cat money was wiped out, in '76 foreign competion, again in 1880 inflated currency was crushed, in '84 foreign interference was crushed, in '88 the Democratic party was generally defeated, since then we have taught Italy, Chili and England a lesson, given monopolies and trusts some heavy body blows and during the present year will knock free and unlimited silver coinage. European pauper labor, knownothingism, trusts, monopolie and all interests opposing a progressive and active American administration clear out of the box. The Republican party has in scribed on its banners, protection, reciprocity and sound money, with such grand principles, a solid glorious history and the American flag waving and the Eagle screaming the Republican party is bound to win.

THE working people of the United States under protection and oar great natural anvantages out rank and enjoy superior advantages over similar people in any other Country on earth. This fact leads foreign nations to investigateRecently M. Paul Deschanel, a young member of the French Chamber of Deputies, who was sent to this conntry a few months ago by his government to investigate the condition and developement of labor organizations and labor questions generally in the United States, •ailed for France on the steamship LaGascogne Saturday morning. 9n shipboard he talked of his errand here. The laboring classes," said he,

44

are far

ahead, better fed, better clothed, better taught, and happier than those of France and still more so than those of other countries in Europe. It ia almost discouraging to me to have to go back to my country and paint a picture, in my report whieh shows such a contrast between the conditions of things in America and France. Why, the perfection of labor organizations iu America is years, 1 may say do7 ens of years, in advance of anything which has beeu dreamed of in France." "Do you feel that it will be possible to introduce the American system as you have seen it into France?" "I ain afraid the time is a long way off," answered M. Deschanel, "when we shall see such a system of labor organization flourishing in France as you have established. The trouble is, our laboring men are too poor to undertake to carry out such a complicated system. I may go bnck and tell them of all the wonderful tilings I have seen that the workmen iu America have accomplished, and they willteply: "That is all very well, but bow do you expect us to (lo anything like that here in France? Where are we going to pet the money. As it is we can hardly find enough to get food for our families and clothing for our children, and if we pay the rent on the day it is due we consider ourselves in good luck. What is the use then of telling us to put into practice the American ideas? If American workmen can afford to do all you say, why so much the better for them, hut we cannot and won't." I am very much afraid that is the only reply I would get, and when you come to think of it, what they would say is true."

M. Descha nel further said there were two classes of laborers in this country

who were in but little better condition than those in foreign countries, viz. the workers in Western mines and those engaged in the making of cloaks and garments. These two classes were composed almost exclusively of ignorant foreigners, who had not arrived at a point of intelligence where they were capable of shaking themselves free from their bondage. The great fundamental reason for the rapid advancement of the American workingman was that of his superior intelligence. This together with the great advantage obtained by protection enabled him to educate and give his children advantages so that they may occupy better and higher conditions than himself. The great American idea is progress and advancement. Protection, Progress and Prosperity are watch worcs of the Republican party. Young man consider well the party you ally yourself with this year.

HOW TO VOTE CORRECTLY.

Study Thoroughly and Tell Your Republican Neighbors. AN ACT passed by the last Legislature made some changes in the form of the bollot and the manner of voting. Under the law as amended a person who wishes to vote a straight ticket must place the stamp on the large square surrounding the party device at the top of the ticket, and nowhere else. The stamp must be placed either within this square or else so as to touch it, otherwise it will be treated as a distinguishing mark and will invalidate the ticket. The important point to be remembeml is that the voting of a straight kc.t, requires but one stamp, and that within the large square that surrounds .i- party device at the top of the ticket. IT one wishes to vote a mixed ticket he should place the stamp on the squares in front of the individual nauies for whom he wishes to vote, but for a straight iekot he simply stamps the square surrounding the eagle or the rooster, and no where else. This seems a very simple process, and yet there are many persons who are still only half informed as to the manner of voting under the present law. There are also manyyoung men voting for the first time who require instruction on this point.

Great care should be taken by Republicans not to give Democratic election boards any pretext of excuse for throwing out Republican ballots. To this end they should be careful net to leave any distinguishing marK on their ballots, such as a blot or misplaced stamp, should fold their ballots so as to leave the initals of the poll clerk on the outside, and should not permit members of the election board to know how they have voted. These seem like small matters, but experience proves that Democratic election officers will take advantage of every possible pretext to reject Republican ballots.

THE Democrats last week at Indianapolis nominated one candidate for Appellate Judge that will be hard to beat in any way. That man is Judge T^kodore P. Davis, of Noblesville. The editor of this paper had the pleasure of reading law with Mr. Davis for three years, and irom an intimate personal acquaintance

says

there is not a finer man in the state of Indiana. He is an honorable, upright, genial man with a host of friends regardless of party. As a lawyer and jurist he ranks with the ablest and has had a leading and successful business in Hamilton county for the past fifteen years and is now but thirty-seven years old. Where well known he will run ahead of his party. To be successful this year, however, he will have to make arrangements to run ahead in a good many counties for this is a Republican year, and victory will perch npon the banner of that proud l.ird, the American Eagle.

Th* Old V«gy Question.

The Jeffersonian says "the worst drawback a town can have is a class of citizens who move into town from the country, who have made enough money to retire on and take things easy, and whose one object in life is to live economically and pay as little tax as possible. Such candidates are on the Republican ticket now." The man who wrote the above evidently knew but little about politics and less about business. The class of men above referred to have shown. their. sagacity and good business management by amassing a competence. Snch men are most certainly good men to manage the business of the public, as they have demonstrated their ability in their own affairs. Such men are not "old fogies" as the Jeff calls them, but men who believe in improvement. Look at tbeir farms, their stock, horses and cattle, their home*, barns, etc. They are all first class and put in that shape in a business-like and economical manner. The Jeffersouian evidently thinks first-class and successful business men, such as J. W. Cooper, J. K. Henby and J. H. Moulden should not be elected as councilmen, as they would run the business of the city in an economical and business like manner and keep taxes as low as possible consistent with good public improvements. These men know that it is economical to make improvements and do every thing according to the latest and most approved methods, but such men as the Republicans have nominated would do thii in a way that we would gain all advantages desired and yet keep taxes as low as possible. All citizens desiring the improvement of our city in a business like way, vote for the Republican Councilmen Cooper, Henby and Moulden, they have demonstrated their superior qualifications.
