THE Democrats promised the people free trade, free coinage of silver, free State banks, and prosperous glorious times. They have not fulfilled their promises, and it is well they have not. Free trade means pauper labor here free coinage, tmlimited, means a debased currency, while free State bauks means wild-cat money, wild speculation, and wide spread bankruptcy.

The English and Irish manufacturers are rejoicing over the fact that the passage of the Wilson bill will enable them to largely increase their sales in the American market. The Irish manufacturers estimate that the passage of the Wilson bill will sav*1 them at least $1,250,000 a year in duties. This shows what foreign manufacturers think about who pays the duty. It is the foreign manufcturers and they know it. Else why should they rejoice about the lowering of the duties.

IT IS rumored that Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio and one or two of his friends made $1,000,600 in a sugar speculation last month on account of secret infcaroiation, as to the action of the U. S. Senate concerning sugar in the new tariff schedule. It is also stated that other Democratic Senators are using their influence and votes to further the financial speculations of themselves and friends. This is certainly one of the most shameful and shameless administrations the United States has ever known. President Cleveland has been bartering patronage for •otes to confirm friends or to pass eonie pet bills and Senators are voting against the interests of the people and in favor of the sugar and whiskey trusts and reaping financial benefit for themselves and friends by speculation. Grover Cleveland has also been a gainer by speculations aided and made possible by national legislation. In 1884, he went into the President's chair a poor titan and now be is a millionaire. Talk aboutjhonest men, Cleveland has fallen from the pedastal and even the mugmutnps feel that their idol is shattered. The Cleveland administrution is for self and friends while the •country'sAnd the copies' interests may gototke devil.,

.Pithy, Pointed ami Pertinent,

In the race for securing free newspaper advertising Mrs. Lease is in a fair way to distance the field.

That anarchist speech of Congressman Bland had a boomerang concealed about its person. Look out, Mr. B.

What Mr. Hewitt really meant to say was, "When I retired from Congress there were no Statesmen left."

The Kaiser says he is answerable to no man for his acts. What sort of mischief is that young man concocting now?

Man-hunting with blood-hounds is still a favorite pastime with Georgia officials. It is difficult to eradicate ancient customs.

The latest method of getting free advertising for theatrical stars is the publication ef bogus love-letters addressed to them.

Senator Hill declines to run for governor of New York. Which shows that whatever else he may be the Senator is not a fool.

Who says that the tongue of Mrs. Lease has become a victim of the compromise habit. We should like to have the testimony of Mr. L.

It is significant that the strongest supporters of the Cleveland tariff bill are constantly trying to present valid excuses for so doing.

Mr. Cleveland might try hypnotism upon the Democratic Senators who still refuse to recognize his assumption of autocratic power.

The royalists of Hawaii might test their strength by nominating Mrs. Dominis to ruu against Mr. Dole for the presidency of the new republic.

The fire-fiend appears to have as strong a liking for ex-Secretary Tracy, whose Brooklyn residence was on fire the other day, as it once had for Kate Claxton.

We admire most the virtues we do not possess, seems to apply strongly to certain fake newspapers which devoted much space to George Washsngton's birthday.

While the Democrats are trying to put the United States on a free trade basis popular agitation in favor of a return to protection is increasing in frea trade England.

Hear the joyful sound swell It has good news to tell. 'Tis the people ringing the bell, That sounds Democracy's knell.

Ohio folks are bound to be in the swim, even if they have to cut ice eight inches thick to get in it, as was lately done by a Springfield preacher to baptise 141 converts.

The free traders are getting their breath back aud are baginning the hopeless task of trying to explain the result in Pennsylvania without condemning free trade.

The sorrow expressed by railroad magnates at the defeat of Peckham will be regarded by many level-headed people as a vindication of the Senators who voted for rejection. ..

If ex-Secretary Whitney proposes to use on the turf the same methods he uses in politics those who count upon his aid in reforming horse-racing are certain to be disappointed.

According to the Washington papers Senator Peffer is making himself conspicuous at religious and temperance meetings. He is beginning his campaign for reelection early.

The nine democratic members of Congress from Pennsylvanie who voted for the Cleveland tariff bill must find the study of the late election returns a very depresses occupation,

The cuckoo brand of democracy has reached its limit, if it be fair to judge by the quantity of anti-Cleveland sentiment now emanating from democrats in all sections of the country.

The U. S. Senate declined to pay the political debts of Hon. Josi&h Quincy hence the unanimous rejection of the nomination of one Lenthier, to be U. S. consul at Sherbrook, Canada.

Secretary Carlisle's proposition to extinguish the torch on New York's statue of liberty is in keeping with the efforts of this administration to extinguish the li iht of American prosperity.

Representative Sibley thinks Secretary Morton should be made to eat Russian thistle with his spring,lamb as a punishment for having ignorantly said that sheep would eat Russian thistle.

The sentence of Boss McKane is the most encouraging sign that those who favor pure politics have seen for a long time. No technicalities should be allowed to prevent his doing full time.

The workingmen would prefer that Congress sh6uld give them a chance telabor than that it should make labor Day a national holiday. Holidays are not in favor just uow there are top many of ttam. vJ I

KKPUBL1CAN STA1E CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Indiana and all others who desire to co-operate with them are invited to meet in delegate convention in Indianapolis on the 25th day of April, 1894, at 10 a. in., for the purpose of adopting a platfoim and nominating candidates for the following State ofliecs

Secretary of State. Auditor of State. Treasurer of State. Attorney-general. Clerk of the Supreme Court. Superintendent of Public Instruction. State Statisician, State Geologist. Judge Supreme Court. First district. Judge Supreme Court, Fourth District. The convention will be composed of 1,71" delegates, apportioned among the several counties on the basis of one delegate aud one alternate delegate for each 150 votes and each fraction of seventy-five or over cast for first Republican presidential electors in 1N92.

Hancock county will be entitled under the above apportionment, to l: delegates, and an equal number of alternates.

The delegates from the counties composing the Seventh Congressional District will meet in Indianapolis, at the criminal court room, at 7:.'!0 p. m., on April 2-1, for the purpose of selecting members of the various offices of the convention as .follows:

One member of the committee oil permanent organization. One member of Ihe commit tic on credentials."

One member of the committee on resolutions. One vice president of the convention. One assistant secretary of the convention. The members of the committees thus chosen will meet at the following places at 9 o'clock the same evening:

Committees on Rules and Permanent Organization—Manager's office, Denisen House. Committee on Credentials—Ordinary, Denison House.

Committees on Resolutions—Room 79, Denison House Tickets to the convention will be distributed by the the District Committeemen at the District meeting on Tuesday evening.

The delegates should be in their seats ready business at 10 clock sharp. The doors will be open at 9 o'clock.

Spain expects favors from Cleveland is the suggestive headline over a cablegram in an exchange. Well, being in Europe it will get them, if Mr. Cleveland has his way. He has shown a special fondness for favoring Europeans.

There are still 15 democratic Senators who refuse to join the cuckoos on the question of Presidential appointment, but the country is more anxious to know how many there will be on the question of the Cleveland ruination tariff.

Perhaps if Mr. Cleveland and Senator Hill could be induced to attend the Moody and Sankey revival, now going on in Washington, the country might be spared a repetition of the Hornblower and Peckham affairs, now that Senator White is fixed.

Senator Vest displayed a strange lack of inclination to defend himself against the charge of using knowledge acquired through his position as a member of the Senate Finance committee to speculate in sugar, which was made by Senator Chandler.

Every democratic member of the house who would consent to express an opinion has said in substance: It is not such a tariff bill as I wanted, It is certainly not such a bill as any republican wanted, therefore it must be that Mr. Cleveland is the only man who really wants such a bill.

Mr. Cleveland is said to have left Washington thoroughly disgusted with Congress. From the best obtainable information Congress has been disgusted with Mr. Cleveland for quite a while, and the people with both. It might be advantageous to the country for Mr. Cleveland to extend that hunting trip indefinitely maybe Congress can do better alone. It cannot do worse than it has done under his manipulation.

A Prophecy fulfilled.

The fact that James G. Blaine predisted the exact condition of things now prevailing in this country, and as accurately showed the causes which would lead up to it, is recalled by the Toledo Blade. Read the words of this greatest of latterday American statesmen, and see how early the drift indicated too him the evils chat were to come: "I love my country and my countrymen. I dm an American, and I rejoice every day of of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country and know that the workingmen of this land are the best paid, the best fed and the best clothed of any laborers on the earth. Many of them have homes of teir own. They are surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxuries ot life.

I shudder, however, at the thought thit the time must come when all this must be changed, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land, who are now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread that the day must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut down, aud where there is now life and activity will be the silence of the tomb.

And the reason why this must be is this: The great southern wing of the Democratic party are determined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. There is a great body of visionary, but educated, men, who are employed day by day in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of the doctrine, which find their way to every newspaper in the land. The great body of people have never experienced, themselves, the sufferings which always result when the protective principles are laid aside.

Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of (he Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection: It must inevitably follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction of the principles of protection, will decline to engage in business consequently mills will be shut down,), and the workingmen will be thrown out" of employment.

The people will then see, as they have never seen before, that they cannot be prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their sufferings they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the-industries by which they have gained a livelihood: because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut 'down there Js no demand for the only thing which 'theiy have to sell, and that is their labor."

THE CltOWN OF t'AlLUUK.

"When you have lived your life, When you have fought your last good fight and won, And the day's work is finished, and the sun

Sets on the darkening world and all iU strife— Ere the worn hands are tired with till they've done Ere the mind's strength begins to droop and wane Ere the lirst, touch of sleep has dulled the brain, Ere the heart's springs are slow and running dry,

When your have lived your life, 'Twere good to die.

If it may not be so, If you but light you may not winSee the far goal but may not enter in— 'Twere better then to die and not to know Defeat—to die amidst the rush and din, Still striving, while the heart beats high and fast, With glorious life if you must fall at last, Such end were best, with all your hope and all

Your spirit in its youth Then when you fall.

Far better so to die, Still toiling upward through the mists obscure, With all things possible and nothing sure,

Than to be touched by glory and passed by, To win, by chance, fame that may not endure, That dies and leaves you living, while yem strive, With wasted breath to keep its flame alive, And fan with empty boast and proud regrets

Rememberance of a past That dies and leaves you living, while you The world forgets.

Government Ownership of Itallrotuls Aud Public Safety.

In proportion to the number travelling, there are thirteen times as many accidents in the United States as in Germany where government owership of railways obtains, and six or seven times as many accidents to employees in proportion to the total number. And no wonder! The first thing which attracts attention in Germany is the careful protection to life and limb. Accidents of daily occurrence in Chicago are an impossibility in Berlin, a city of equal size. Contrast the efforts of the United States to save life as seen in our truly admirable life-saving service on our coasts with the conduct bf those railway presidents who rush to Washington and to our State capitals to prevent the passage of laws to compel the railways to use well-known and approved safety appliances! It is claimed that there is greater freedom in the service of government than in the service of the vast cor porations which manage itural monopolies. And the freedom o! the employed may be still further increased by better civil service regulations. The nobility of public service is of importance to the wage earner of every grade. The uni•form of government is an honor, while the livery of private service is considered a badge of inferiority. It is public service which has developed the great leaders of our civilization. Private service could never give us a Washington or a Lincoln. Government ownership implies use for general social purposes, and not merely exploitation for dividends.—From "Natural Monopolies and the Workingman," by Prof. Richard T. Ely, in North American Review for March. It is not alone in safety and comfort that government ownership of railroads is desirable, but in almost every other way.

The time is coming when the government will own and operate all the great natural monopolies, such as railroads, telephones, telegraphs, express business, etc. In cities, street railways, water works, gas works, electric light plants, etc., will be owned and operated by the municipality. Government and city ownership lessons waste, in doing away with ruinous and useless competition gives the public abetter service at less than half the cost. The greatest good to the greatest number should be the desire of all good and public spirited citizens.

Ex-Speaker Reed summed up the entire situation in the house when he said: If the majority party here would accord to members their constitutional right to transact business in accordance with the Coustitution we should cease to have trouble.

Ohio Democrats with purchasable opinions are looking forward with glee to the contest between millionaires Brice and McLean for the seat in the U. S. Sanate now held by Brice. The next Senator from Ohio ought to be a Republican, and doubtless will be.

FROM 1890 until 1894 the American egg market was better than ever before and the farmers know their eggs brought them more per dozen. This also made the price of poultry higher as the value of the hen increased as did the value of her product. The McKinley tariff of 5 cents a dozen on eggs held the American market for the American hen after October 1890. Previous to that we had imported 16,000,COO dozen eggs annually at a cost of $2,600,000 a year. In 1898 there was but 3,295,842 and the cost $400,000, but with the Wilson bill, both the price of eggs .and poultry has, fallen and the farmers goo$l wive? yill find they are getting less less market money.
