CORN is now selling at a higher price than wheat, something that never happened before in this county. Farmers will feed lots of wheat to hogs this year.

THE a of he A an a phabet is something to be proud of—Altgeld, Breckinridge, Coxey and Debs.— New York Tribune.

All are Democrats too.

THE present Democratic Congress is raising the value of one thing sure, and that is a Republican nomination. It is more cs rtain every day that the Republicans will win everything in sight this year.

CONCERNING the tariff mix in Congress the

Shelbyviiie

Democrat says: Better let

the whole nauseous affair go to grasp, gentlemen, and come home, where the greater number of you will find business of'

importance awaiting you.

THE Republican government at Hawaii, seems to be firmly established. Royalists have given up hope of restoring Queen Liluokalani. The Americans made it so hot for Clevelahd and Gresbam that they have gone back on the uegro queen.

PENSION AGKNT SPENCER at Indianapolis, is preparing for the quarterly payment, which begins next Saturday. Angnst 4. He states that the amount to be paid out this coming quarter will exceed that paid the last quarter, which was $3*596,863. Thers are in this State 65,soldiers and soldiers' widows drawfog pepsions, which amount to $10,155,662.0^, every year. Hancock county gets about |95,000 of the above pension fund this quitter.

GROVKR CLEVELAND is always saying mean things about Trusts and monopolies and yet he and his party have been doing everything they can for the Sugar trust, the whiskey trust and Cleveland ftidetermined to have free coal so his friend Whitneys Nova Scotia coal which will pay a royalty of 12 cents a ton to the Canadian government can capture the New England market. Oh, yes, Cleveland fff against trusts with his mouth but he not deceive Che people anymore*

IT is now rumored that the Democratic State Convention will indorse several of the Populist nominees for the State offices. The managers feel that so many Democrats are going over to the Populists that they might as well indorse a part of the ticket and try to sneak in a

of their own men. The Populists are gaining quite largely from the Democrats over the State.

THE way Grover Cleveland did sling in personal pronouns in his late letter was a caution. He used in caps "I" twenty times, "me" three times, "my'' four, "myself" once, "we" eighteen times, "us" three, and "our" fif een times making twenty-eigkt times be referred to himself alone and thirty-six in which he referred to himself and others, or a tor-al of sixty four times he referred to himself. You know he is an important personage.—Shelbyviiie Republican.

How the mighty has fallen. Grover Cleveland, once the idol of the democratic party is in hard lines. He is trying to secure free coal for his friends, W. C. A' hitney, Dan Lamont et al who own the N ovia Scotia coal mines? and also put a tax on Sugar to please his friend Haveyer who contributed $500 000 to the democratic campaign fund of 1892

Cleveland has. made so many blunders a uring his present, term that he is losing is prestigs as a man of great intellect ind clear judgment and since Gorman -hanged him with double dealing and IU plicity and proved it on him by Vest, 'oues and Harris, all able Democratic Seuators, people question Cleyelands much lauded honesty and faithfulness to iie interests of the people.

ANDREW CARNAGIE, who is now in -..on don, says that he does not think the Joited States now requires protection as Manufactured imports have fallen so low ley are of but little use for revenue puroses. Since the people have found out hat thieves and scoundrels the Carnaie Company are in furnishing defective mor unite for the big war vessels of our y.vy crafty, Andy has been trying to slid in with the powers that be. He ime out for the Wilson tariff bill and eveiaud remitted $210,000 of a $840,000 ne imposed on the Carnagie Company frauds. There is another committee »vestigating and now Andy goes back all protection. That should not sate tii m. Big thieves as well as little thieves should be in the penitentiary and for a longer lime too.

THE Cleveland boom still continues. The weekly" reports of the twtT^gTeat »aimeriial agencies

R. Gr.

Dunn? &

Co. and Bradstreet, shows that business is very badly depressed and the future •-''arker. R. G. Dunn & Co. said: "The heavy outgo of gold, the] fall of the treasury reserve and of the price of wheat to the lowest point on record and the increasing uncertainty about the tariff, have entirely overshadowed the industries. Business delayed for months by two great strikes now crowds the railroads and swell. returns, and gives '^e impression of a revival in business. But it is not yet clear how far there is an increase in new traffic, distinguished from that which has been merely blockaded or deferred. In some branches there has been more activity, but in others less, because events early this week led many to infer that no change of tariff would be made. The internal revenue receipts on whiskey suddenly dropped more than half and sales of wool greatly increased. But the uncertainty is not removed and much of the business done seems to be in the nature of insurance against possibilities. Wheat has found in the lowest depth a deeper still and has sold below 55 cents, making the monthly average at New York the lowest ever known."

SINCE the Receivers appointed by tl Court have had charge of the Atchisc n, Topeka & Santa Fe railway system, the books have revealed the fact that $7,000.000.000 in rebates have been paid to favored shippers within the past three years. This was contrary to the Inter State Commerce law and also against public policy and the welfare of the people. The stock-holders of the Company have been cheated since eteck which sold at par in 1886 is now practically worthless. Small dealers and general producers have been forced to the wall as they could not compete in business with the big firms who by means of the rebates secured cheaper transporations rates Men who sold grain and bought merchandise had the regular rate freight charged up against them and then the big dealers received rebates aggregating $7,000,000 all of which had been paid by the people, so the dealers profltted by both what they got from the people and also the rebates amounting all to $14,000,000. If many good cases grand larceny could not be made out there we would like to know the reason why. If the laws are not such that men can be properly punished for such crimes they should be changed at once. The penitentiary is where such men belong. Government ownership of railways would do away with all such evils and the people, all the people would get the best service at the lowest rates.

Pithy. I'olnuxl and Pertinents

The House says Senators ought to be elected, by the people the Senate says nothing.

Mr. Cleveland is again enjoying the echoes of the cuckoo songs, in and out of Congress.

Wonder what the late Jay Gould would have thought of an impecunious prince for a son-in law.

Paul would have been a more appropriate name for him than Grover lie writes so many epistle*

msy*.s

THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1894.

Pv Mie uieu t'Vei kuuvv vviieu liieir little games are blocked. Coxey and Debs are recent specimens of this class.

lt„

More trouble is caused in the world by bad men than by bad laws, the Coxeyites to the contraryuotwithstanding

Gov. Hogg's revolution nightmare was probably the result of indigestion brought on by overfeeding during his recent eastern trip.

The assertion that "Debs will never surrender" sounds a little odd in view of the occupancy of a cell in the Cook county jail by Mr. Debs.

It it curious that every time a professional office seeker is turned down he should feel specially called upon to lead a new party of reformers.

The silver men have called a national conference to meet in Washington, August 16th. Mr. Cleveland will probably not send a letter to conference.

The man who makes a practice of changing his political principles may be honest, but ho cannot blame people for being a little distrustful of him.

A Richmond, Va., paper says it doesn't believe that Mr. Cleveland would accept a fourth nomination for President. Not unless it be offered to him, brother.

The places where socialism is reported to be a success are always a long ways off and the nearer the impartial investigator srr'j! to them the less apparent is the success,

Mr. Cleveland's attempt to play the little joker in the tariff game between the House and Senate may win the game, but as yet it'has only caused him to be accused of cheating,

If, as the adaere says, "an idle brain is the devil's work-shop." the devil must have an overstock of w%,kshops in the misnamed "industrial" armies now in the vicinity of Washington.

The statements of Democratic Senators differ so radically from that made by Mr. Cleveland as to his position on the Senate amendments to the tariff bill that they are equivalent to passing the lie.

The wise cuckoo gets himself taken care of before the rush that will follow the Congressional elections. Congressman Breckinridge, of Arkansas is a wise cuckoo $17,000 snaps are scarce now.

Mr. Cleveland wants free trade, without any ifs, ands or bnts. and he bus the gall to say so, notwithstanding the awful condition of industrial and business affairs. He is a bourbon of the bourbons.

Mr. Cleveland is about to learn the difference between having the people with him and having them against him. In his stand for law and order the people were with him and success was easy in his "break" for free trade the people are against him.

Somebody around the Treasury department must have blundered when a formal application was made to Congress to pass a bill giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to do certain things, as the administration has been to dictate to Congress, instead of getting authority therefrom.

Coxey is not feeding the tramps he has already induced to go to Washington, and the only object he can have in trying to get all tne tramps in the country to go there is to make trouble. He doubtless hopes that if a very large crowd of tramps assemble there that starvation will drive them into committing riotous excesses which would lead to their being shot down by U. S. troops. This man Coxey is a more dangerous anarchist than Johann Most, who has "done time" for incendiary speeches.

The Chumpulist Catechism.

Do you see the man? I do see the man. Who is the man? He is a Chumpulist. What's that? A political "What is-it." And what is it? Across between a Democrat, a Populist,

Cuckoo

and a

Mugwump.

Has it the good or the bad qualities of the strain it represents? Mostly the bad.

What started it? Political cowardice? What is political cowardice? Making

promises Under the precepts of

a platform, and repudiating them in the

practice

a policy.

How is that? It is obtaining political goods under false pretenses.

How, for instance? The tariff bill. Is that Chumpulistic? That's what. How? It is the culmination of a cumlative atrocity.

How cumulative? Not satisfied with the McKinleyfication of the Democratic tariff policy, it adds the Socialistic supplement of an income tax.

Is the iBcome tax socialistic? It is a slap in the face of energy and thrift.

Is Socialism antagonistic to energy and thrift? A Socialist doesn't want anything he must work for.

What does he want? He wants what other people work for. And the income tax takes from the workers and not from the idlers and the lazy? XK

It is hot the idlers and the lazy who have made this the greatest country on earth.

Why do the Chumpulists want to do thi6? Because they are Chumpulists.

Why have they led the Democrats astray? 'Because the Democrats have no sand in their craws.

What would be the result if they had? They would make their platform their policy, and fight it out on that line if it took a leg.

And would it? It might but it would not be as bad as it now is, for what they are doing will take body, soul, and breeches.

Won't there be any Democratic party left? Oh, yes it will be entirely left the worst left you ever heard of.—[New York San (Dem.)

Farming Can Be fltade To Fay Big.— Farmer Blount's Success. Indianapolis Journal.

It should be a source of pride to the farmers of Indiana that one of their number, Hon. J. A. Mount, of Shannondale, has been selected by the Chautauqua Assembly committee to deliver an address at that place August 16, and will have for his subject "The Future of Agriculture in the United States Imperatively Demands of the Farmer a Higher Standard of Intelligence." Mr. Mount is no stranger to the platform, he having been selected by the State Central Committee to represent the Republican party in several joint political discussion, and wos recognized as a painstaking and able servant of the people when in office. But he is, perhaps, even better known in farmers' institute work and agricultural interests generally. Mr. T. B. Ferry, of Ohio, himfcelf a farmer of more than ordinary ability and a line platform entertainer, said: "Mr. Mount's success on the farm has had but few parallels in the United States," There is food for reflection for the young farmer in Mr.

Mount's success. After his return from the war he began farming under circumstances as discouraging as confront the poor boys of the farm to-day. For nine years he struggled as a renter. The pessimistic farmer, as a matter of course, was near at hand, advising him to go west and take a "homestead" claim, arguing that he could never own a farm within the borders of Indiana. But, undaunted by snch discouragement, he said he would demonstrate what it was possible to do, and the demonstration is today a practical, tangible thing in the way of a farm of 500 acres of superior land in Montgomery county, which is noted for its fine farms. He is also giving his children the best college education and is building a residence that will rival the best in the city for architectural beauty and modern convenience. This latter act is one which should entitle him to the praise of every true agriculturist. It is too often the case that the farmer, after having spent almost a lifetime in farm labor, and having acquired a competence, "moves to town to take life easy,'' and with the wnittlings that such a man carves from the boxes at the corner grocery there falls chunks of discouragement that enlarges into a debris of discontent under the feet of the easy-to-be-discour-aged farmer who happens along. Mr. Mount has repeatedly said: "I am determined to carry out to the end of life my idea of farm life and farm work." Thus it is felt that the selection of farmer Jlouut to deliver such an address is a wise one, that it is an honor to the State and a source of pride to his neighbors, who have known him throughout his struggles and brilliant success, and a cause of gratification to his friends elsewhere. In troubkus times, such as we are now having, the nobility and strudy integrity of the farmers of the State are worthy of mention. Notwithstanding the fact that multitudinous agencies at the present time combine to make some branhes of husbaudcy unprofi table, the farmer has no time for strikes and anarchy and who is the laboring man if not he? Unceasing toil. Democratic legislation, a superb wheat crop and ruinous prices, and yet, with all advantageous conditions in many branches, compose a mixture that he must take, and he thrives under the medicament better than many people think.

Let the young farmers be encouraged let them be wide awake and aggressive, and the day will soon dawn when farming as a business will be viewed by all classes in the light wherein it has already revealed the splendor of its possibilities to James A. Mount and to hundreds of others of letsar note.

OLD MONTGOMERY.

Darlington. Ind July 25.

Proceedings of Jackson Township Sunday School Union.

Pursuant to the call of the president, the various Sunday-schools of Jackson township met at the M. E.church in Cleveland at 2 p. m., July 29th. The president being detained at home on account of sickness, Rev. J. W. Bowen, county president, presided. Miss Edith Hunt, of the Friends' school, Charlottesville, was elected secretary and Thomas Williams, of Brown's Chapel, treasurer. These officers, with the president, will serve for one year.

The duty of the president is to visit each school in the township as often as possible and call township conventions whenever practicable. The whole Sunday-school interests of the township is under the township president's supervision. The secretary shall aid the president in convention work, by correspondence and otherwise. The treasurer shall keep all funds placed in his hands until orders signed by the president and secretary be presented for its use.

This convention was a great success, there being more present than the seating capacity of the church could accommodate. Every school was well represented and each gave a written report. The addresses and declamations were all first class

The average attendance

each school

is as follows: Charlottesville M. E. 65, Charlottesville Christian 50, Charlottesville Friends' 30, Conklin 40, Cleveland, 50, Brown's Chapel 70, Center 35. Total 340. The enrollment is about twice this number.

The object of these union organizations in the township is to bring all the workers together, that they may be helpful to each other in discussing successful methods in Sunday-school work.

NOTES.

Joseph B. Hunt's address, "Sundayschools, the Hope ef Our Country," was full of facts and all to the point.

The recitations of Misses Blanche Heywood, Pearl Hill, Minnie Johnson and Miss Bundy, were well rendered.

Miss Mollie Staley was at her best in a soprano solo, "Rock of Ages." Elder Hammon treated the subject, "Teachers, and Class," in a very happy manner.

Miss Emma Parnell, Mrs. Vinnie Hatfield and others from Greenfield were in attendance.

Presidents Mrs. Coffin, of Blueriver and Mr. Martindale, of Brown townships were present. Mr. Martindale will call a convention at Willow Branch some time in August.

Jackson township may pride herself upon a thorough organization and one of the largest conventions ever held in the county. Now for real downright practical hard work at home. WORKER.

Desecrating The Sabbath

WILKINSON, IND. July 31.

Surely no man or woman can look upon the transactions of last Sunday, at this place and not blush with shame.

Base ball was played throughout the whole day, stores were open, cursing, loud hallowing, foul mouthed talk on the streets and grounds could be heard at all hours. Parents with their boys growing into manhood and smaller ones around them, were there urging them on to break the laws of the Sabbath, and the laws of our land. What do parents expect of the future of their boys, if they urge them on, either by their presence or by their words, to break the laws of God and of our country? Step by step, little by little they are led on until reform and reclaim are words of the past.

Train up a child in the way it should go, and when it gets old it will not depart from it.—Meditate! think of it! Women and children could not pass along the streets without passing through or around a lot of foul mouth young and old men.

Shame on a community that cares so little for themselves, their neighbors, their Sabbath-schools and churches, as to patronize or encourage such evils to exist in. our land. Let Christians and law-abiding citizens everywhere rise Up, and by their words of condemnation and disapproval, forever stamp the curse ef Sunday base ball and desecration of the Sabbath from our land.

Indian doctor,

is known throughout ihi.s and other States, as the most, skilled specialist of the age in treating Chronic Diseases. His wonderful cures of thousands of ca-es, pronounced incurable by others, marks a now era in the history of medicine. Hundreds of persons suffering from chronic ailments, can be cured if tliey will stop using mer* cury, arsenic, quinine, strychnia and various mineral poisons, which will make a person sick, and use these remedies which nature provided for all mankind, viz: Roots, Barks, Herbs, Leaves and Plants. Common Sense as appied to medicine, should teach everyone that which many already know, viz: That nature has provided a harmless remedy for every disease and that theory (incorrectly called science) annually kills thousands by the use of remedies opposed to every known law of chemistry and phisolophy of the human system. The whole history of medicine contains no record of cures equal to those made by DR. MAN-O-YV with the roots and herbs which nature offers as a pricales gift to suffering humanity.
