DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
WILLIAM H. BRACKEN.
For Presideatial Elector at Larfe^
JOHN C. ROBINSON.
INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS.
The above emblems and the accompanying names represent the form of the head of the ticket to be used in the approaching election.
Qbferve closely the following instruction to voters which are the same as will be printed on the cards that are to be posted at the polls on election day as repaired by law.
First. You must get your ballots of the polling clerks in the election room. Second If you want to vote a straight ticket, stamp within the large square at the head of the ticket contain-
THE PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE.
The Indianapolis News (Independent), in an editorial on presideati.il preferences, in its issue of Sept. 28, has the following:
Bither Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Harrison is to be President lor the next four years. Which shall it be? We do not proXess prophecy. Making predictions is **idle waste of thought." Which ought it to be? That is a practical question Which must appeal to each individual voter. Which do you think it ought to be? Every man interested in the welfare of his country, every man who does not ignore his right nor neglect his duty to vote, must face that question and answer it for himself. The choice is between these two men. What is your choice?
Now, of course, the Democrat rockribbed In the faith has no doubts to eolYe. His choice was inade for him before the world was. And the stalwart Republican, who could no moro cease to be Republican than the Ethiop could change his skin or the leopard his spots —he, too, has no choice to make it is made already, in the nature of things. But all are nof' Democrats or Republicans of the sorts described. There are many men—increasing numbers as the years go by, we believe—who do not tske their politics, we will not say so serionsly but, so thoughtlessly, so hereditarily, so uniformly. These arc the independents with leanings or preferences of one sort or another to either the one or the other Darty, but to whom party names arid shibboleths lightly appeal who care nothing, or very little, for the success of any part who care much tor the progress of certain principles. These men vote with one party or the other as they are convinced they can further the cause they have at heart.
It is from this body of voters, and from the young men who vote fur the first time, that each party in the close States must seek to draw in ord to make sure ot winning. What are thj independents goinc to do in Indiana? Some of them made haste ostentatiously to declare in favor of Mr. Cleveland, before he had spoken or written of his relation to the Chicago platform. But it may bo doubted whether they spoke for the mass of independents—for even those with antecedent Democratic preferences.
In 13S8 the News supported Mr. Harrison and gave good reasons why independent voters should vote for him. Sinccthen the paper has changed hands, to be sin j, but it has not changed principles purposes. Mr. Ilarrir^n has made a far abler President, than even his friends, who promised much, predicted. lie has in many ways compel led approval and admiration on the part of his political enemies. He is hotter equipped 'every way now a:i :ie was four years ago -less hampered, too, by political obligations. Mr.
Harrison has teen a credit and an honor to our State. He is one of us, our fel-low-citizen, our neighbor. The State had honored him and lie had proved worthy of the honor. The Nation honored him, and he rose level to his high opportunity. State and Nation are now asked to eive a vote of confidence. Has not the State confidence? Shall it not say so? Men who voted for him four years ago against the same opponent should want good reason for reversing themselves this year. Indiana would cut a poor figure in the sisterhood of States if she should refuse a vote of confidence to the son who lias honored ker so highly, in the eyes of the Nation, ta the eyes of the world.
Cleveland and Pension VrIuo.s. Gen. Daniel Sickles of' New York, though a life-long Democrat, declares tbat he will not vote for Mr. Cleveland, because of his brutal veto message against pensions. Many a poor fellow whoso application was thus defeated, went to his grave, and left his wife without this help, and it is no wonder that Gen. Sickles and thousands ot such solrsfeel as they do toward the man who a substitute to go into the army in y$wb.-AV.

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF".
Th© Influence ofTariS'Lcslsliition oil Husbandry. No industry seems to have been more sensitive to tariff lezislation than sheep husbandry. Under the proteCLivo tar If of 1EG7, from 18S0 to 1SS3 th."! sheep of the United States increased in number 24 per cent. Then in 1884 the new tariff act of trn\ effect- and between th:it date and the number of sheen decreased iT percent. In the period iu.-t mentioned Mr. Clever-id's Secretary oi the 1 rensury, Mr. Manning, wrote hifre« wool report to Congress. That was in T!:is was folio'.-.""'3 by President Cleveland"* ".:notis free trade message to Con.trr-v.-~in 1:1.17, in. which he slronrh advocated tin placing of wool on free list, and then Mills bill passed wool on the free list.

What Reciprocity Has Done. The McKinley tarifT law by -its reciprocity section has opened up a great foreign trade we did not before have, and now we sell these countries millions of dollars of our surplus, both of manufactures and farm products. Reciprocity trade treaties were negotiated with ten countries. We take coi't^m of their products free which wo do not produce, in consideration that they t:iko certain products of ours free. Of rial figures of this trade to June 30, 1.S92, show that this increased trade is £25,000,000. This feature of tho tariff lav.- is working a wonderful foreign trade for our surplus.

rHE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN,
the
asrain in 1883 the a House, putting As already stated
these influences sent the sheep to the shambles I the thousands, as the farmers became alarmed, and there was a decrease of 17 per cent, in the number of sheep. In the latter part of 1888 the Mills bill was defeated in the Senate. And in ]8t)0 the McKinley bill was passed increasing the tariff on woo!, and from 1888 to 1892 sheep have increased in number 7 per cent i.i the United States. The wool growing associations of nearly every State during'91 and *92 passed strong resolutions against tampering with the tariff on wool, because this fluctuating legislation was so hurtful to the industry. But in spite of this united action of the farmers of tho United States, the Springer Bill was passed this year putting foreign wool on the free list. The aggravating feature of this measure to the farming interestwas, that it puts a high duty on manufactured woolen goods, and yet put this product of the farm on tho free lit, giving tho manufacturers protection, but compelling the farmers to compete with foreign production. Wool is now lower in London on account of tho greatly increased production of Australia and other countries. Thereforeif the Senate had passed the Springer Bill, fine clothing wool in this country could not be sol for more than 7 cents a pound, and medium wool at 13 cents a pound, as these are the prices, freight added, in London.

THE WILDCAT BANKS.
The Democratic Proposal to Restore Them. In view of the fact that there is an Indiana statute abundantly broad under which to open free banks, it becomes very important to consider what the Democratic party meant by resolving in favor of repealing the national act taxing their circulation 10 per cent That act really is now the only barrier to a restoration of the whole brood of wild cat banks which during 1800 and 1800 defrauded and fleeeed the people of those times. There is a new generation of young men crown up since then who do not know the history of those times.
Mr. George G. Rodgers, who in 1854 lived on his farm in Bartholomew County, this State, says ho remembers the troubles of that period well. lie writes as follows of his own experience: "I had fattened sixty head of hogs which I shipped to Madison to market by the then old Madison & Indianapolis railroad. I received pay in tho bills of one or two Indiana free banks, and went to Cincinnati the next day by the boat to buy my salt for the season. We used the Kanawha, Virginia, salt then. I bought several barrels for myself and neighbors, and when I went to pay tor it (it was then about $3.25 a barrel) they told me that my bank bills were worth only 62 cents on the dollar. I had to stand the shave and took the salt on the boat to Madison, where I thought I would bay the balance of the things I wanted, as it was in my own State. But when I went to tne store to buy some shirtings and other things, they told me that one of the banks I had bills on had broken, and the other was worth only 50 cents on the dollar. Yes, I remember those times mighty well. No one ever knew his money would be worth anything in twenty-four hours after he took it. I never want to see a return ot such times again. No man can get ray vote who favors restoring the old free bank system. I am astonished that tho Democratic National Convention resolved to repeal the 10 per cent, tax, and to favor such a money policy again."
WHO PAYS THE TAX?
Nothing could be more absurd than the Democratic contention, that American consumers pay the tariff duties on imports of foreign made goods. Read the following extract from the late issue of the 'in'.ish Trad* i'eview, a leading co3:-','. ri- iii rf Great Britain: •H-j e£.'cct of i-iet.tK'iiii. each as foreign -»*»*(ries i-rw now p-er.oji ii ig nn«l enforcing on- *v\jxri». ia thai ihoyotien got- nh.it

About Tax*?*.
The Democratic stump speakers it 1890 declared that tho McKinley bill would operate as a heavy tax, in the way of raising tho price on tin-ware, woolen and cotton goods and almost everything else. What they said has proven false in every particular, for everything is cheaper which people need to buy. But thousands of people in every county in Indiana have found themselves compelled to pay a heavier State and county tax under a law this same Democratic partv passed, it is not the McKinley law, but the other one that lays an oppressive tax on the people.

of the names of the polling clerks on th* back thereof can be seen. Then hand your ballots to the inspector, the stamp to the polling clerk, and leave the room.

Sixth. If you should accidentally ot by mistake deface, mutilate or spoil your ballot, return It to the poli clerks and get anew ballot.
THE BRITISH PRESS WANTS CLEVELAND BAD.
[From the London TimM.l
"In spite of his scurvy treatment of Sir Sackville West, we should, for economic reasons, prefer to see Mr. Cleveland again installed in the Presideaey." [From the Liverpool Journal of,Commerce.] "There are few of us in England who would fro further than this, and the Democratic party in the States may rest assured that if the English sympathy could carry the election of Grover Cleviand in November, the White House would be theirs. We shall watch the development of the struggle with the keenest interest, and even if the triumph be not attained all at once, there is indeed reason for congratulation tbat one of the great American parties has mad* Free-Trade, pure and simple, the battle cry of the future." [From the London Times.J "Undoubtedly our interests as a trad* ing community must make us wish snccess to the Democrats, who now, for the first time, go to the polls as the avowed campions ot freo trade." [From the London Times.] "iA|KlJnf!ted States do not approach the question from the sane point of view as ourselves. The object of their states* men is not to secure the largest amount of wealth for the country generally, but to keep up, by whatever means, the standard of comfort among the laboring classes."
These sample extracts from English free trade papers show the spirit of that policy without sham, and will give the reader an idea how much the Encrlish free traders desire the election of Mr. Clevland again. They know that it would be greatly to English interests to make him President. This is a good time to stand by American interests, and while we have prosperity to let well enough alone.
{'residents Madlxou arid Monroe on Pro. tection. The National Democratic Convention at Chicaeo, declared that protection was a fraud and unconstitutional. James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, has always been recoguized as the "Father of the Constitution," said in his special message to Congress, in 1809: "It will be worthy of the jnst and provident ewe of Cougress to make such further alterations in tho laws as will more especially protect and foster the several branches of inanufaotnre which have been recently instituted or extended, by the laudable exertions of our citizens."
Then again in a special message to Congress on Feb. 20, 1815, President Madison said: "But there is no subject that can enter with greater force and merit into the deliberations of Congress than a consideration of the means to preserve and promote the inanufaetures which have sprung into existence an 1 obtained an unparalleled maturity throughout the United States during the period of the European wars. This source of national independence and wealth, I auxiously recommend therefore to the prompt and constant guardianship of Congress."
Never since the days of John Calhoun, the South Carolina nullifier, has any public body before declared sucn legislation unconstitutional. James Monroe, the fiftn President of the United States, in his inaugural address said "Our manufactures will likewise require the systematic and fostering core of the Government Possessing as we do all the raw material, the fruit of our own soil and industry, we ought not to depend in the degree we have dons on supplies from other countries. Equally important is it to provide at home a market fox our raw materials, as by extending competition, it will enhance the price and protect the cultivator against the casualties incident to foreign markets."
Principle of the New Tariil' Law. The great wisdom of the present tariff law is seen in the fact that it adjusts the tariff duty on the articles which we have
the raw material to produco. This builds up competition in the United Spates, and reduces prices to consumers. And it puts on the free list the articles foi which we have no raw material to produce. In these there could bo no competition here, and it would he taxinc consumers tolput a duty on them. Hence the present law puts-more articles on the tree list than any tariff law over before
