THE law passed by Congress taxing Greenbacks is a good one. They always should have been taxed. Greenbacks have enabled some people to dodge taxes that, they should have paid. All kinds of money should be taxed so that every one would fare alike. Uuited State bonds should also be subject to taxation.

SENATOR ALLEN, of Nebraska, has introduced a bill against lobbyist in Congress It defines a lobbyist as a person who habitually endeavors to secure legislation by influencing members of Congress, and it imposes a penalty of not lees than $1,000 nor more than $5,000 and imprisonment in jail for not less than one year nor more than five. This is a good bill and should pass. Lobbyists have done much to defeat honest legislation and to promote thousands of dishonest jobs. Let the system be abolished.

THE Republican party is taking more advanced ground in favor of silver. The Michigan state convention was especially strong in speaking out in favor of the white metal. Silver is the money of the people and it is one of the ''money metals." (The talk which we hear about "honest money," "honest money," comes from the holders of bonds, mortgages and others securities which they hope to double in value by the gold standard. They desire the return of two dollars in value tor every dollar they investad. It is a case of the well to do, the lenders attempting to hold up their more unfortunate brethren, the borrowers, the toilers, the men who produce the wealth of this country and get back from them at least twice as much in value in labor or the products of labor. All that the friends of silver ask is that the same conditions prevail as when the debts were contracted. The present condition is an artificial or unnatural one. There is not gold enough in the country to pay one tenth of the debts of the country and with the single standard adopted the masses of the people are comparatively helpless.

CONGRESSMAN W. D. BYXUM was renominated by acclamation at Indianapolis Tuesday, but Hancock county Democrats are dead sore on him. They .will use their hatchets this fall. 'te

IT IS certain that immigration should be restricted. The general average of our citizenship should be raised, not lowered. The immigrant class for the past few years has had too large a percentage of criminals. This is shown by the convicts in our American penitentiaries, over half of said convicts being of foreign birth, though foreigners comprise only 17 per cent, of the population of this country.

THE Democaatic State Convention yesterday was a very tame affair. Only about half the delegates were present, and it was the smallest State convention ever held. Few men wanted nominations. The candidates are only local lights, and some of them not very bright lights. The nominations were made by acclamation, as it was felt that this was a Republican year, and men did not want to be sacrificed.

IN Congress the Democrats are not considering the good of country or truth the rights of the people. They are thinking of themselves and their party rather than the good of the country. Instead of facing the questions of the day fairly aad squarely, they dodge and twist and attempt to look out for the trusts and big campaign contributions. They might .as well understand right now that big campaign contributions and the influence of the whiskey trust, the sugar trust and the Nova Scotia coal syndicate can not withstand the wrath of the people whose rights have been sacrificed that the trusts might prosper.

THE Democratic Chicago platform of 1892 has had the stuffing knocked out of it. It was never lived up to and now every plank is busted. The Democrats have to show as a result of this session of Congress hard times, riots, strikes, souphouses, money decreasing in savings banks, less labor, and lower prices for labor and its products, business failures, •whiskey aid sugar trust bribery, the President charging Senators with "party perfidy and party dishonor." Senators openly accusing President Cleveland with double dealing and working in the interests of the Nova Scotia coal syndicate and the sugar trust, oh it is a savory mess that Cleveland and his Congress are responsible for. The trouble is they are demagogues and not statesmen.

Pithy, Pointed and Pertinent.

Japan seems to have better judgment as to the proper time to strike than Debs ha i.

Mr. Cleveland seems to have lost his g. on some of the erstwhile Senatorial cuckoos.

The Senatorial sugar scandal whitewash became transparent as soon as it had time to get dry.

Wonder if the coolness between the Senate and the White House had anything to do with those August frosts?

The Democrat with "gall" enough to "point with pride" to the work of the Fifty-third Congress is yet to be found.

No fouler blot will appear upon the pages of the history of Mr. Cleveland's second administration than his treatment of Hawaii.

Some of the female bicyclists, if newspaper reports be correct, are becoming envious of the showing made by the "living pictures." "What are Democratic principles?" asks a headline in an exchange. That is a question that cannot be answered by the smartest man living.

Colorado's governor will have an opportunity at the bicycle meet to see how much more advantageously wheels can be used on the ground than in one's head.

Congressional investigations seldom find out anything of importance. Still, the country believes with Senator Chandler that one should be made of the Whitney coal syndicate.

Did the government overplay its hand when that California suit was began against the Southern Pacific railroad? If not why did Attorney General Olney have the suit dismissed?

After reading the reports of conversations between Senator Butler and Gov. Tillman the most peaceable man might be excused for regretting the illegality of the duel in South Carolina.

Can't somebody persuade Secretary Gresham to spend a few weeks' out of reach of the newspapers and the telegraph? Then the U. S. will have a better chance to keep out of the China-Japan war.

If the danger was considered pressing enough by Mr. Cleveland to call for an issue of $50,000,000 in bonds when the gold reserve fell to $65,000,000, what does he think of it now that it is $15,000,000 less?

Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska may lack judgment, but bis nerve cannot be doubted since he announced his intention to simultaneously be an editor and the dem-pop candidate for the U. S. Senate. He'll wear a smaller hat after election.

The duties of Deputy President are said to bo weighing very heavily upon the shoulders of Dan Lamont. He finds things very different from what they were when the Republican Senate kept the first Cleveland administration out of mischief.

A Striking Difference.

By this time everybody must have remarked how differently the Republican party and the Democratic party go about making a Tariff bill.

The Republican party frames a Tariff bill on the principle of Protection, in which it practices what it preaches. No minority holds up the majority and com pels an abandonment of principle accompanied by breach of faith.

There is no occasion for any investigation to ascertain whether Republican legislators have dallied with the stock ticker, playing the market on inside iuformation. There are no irreconcilable diiferencesbetween House and Senate.

The Republican President does not publish a letter charging Republican Senators'with "party perfidy and party dishonor." There is no mud-slinging between the President and the Republican side of the Senate. The country is not kept on the anxious seat while a family row is fought out.

The Republican party understands business and is expert in the business of legislation.—The Wheeling, W. Va., In telligencer.

Our Colorado .Letter, DENVER COL. Aug. 6, 1894.

I have been on the point several times of writing the REPUBLICAN another letter touching current events here, but conditions have been so unusual, and my sympathies have been so enlisted that I was afraid to trust my feelings in a letter which was to appear publicly before my friends in Indiana, for fear my statements would be miscredlted and myself considered an enthusiast,

The truth of things here would certainly appear very radical, stated through the REPUBLICAN to the solid well-to-do farmers of Hancock county. Boiled down, the most remarkable features of the situation consists of three things: The majority of the people are positive the depressing times are due almost entirely to the demonitization of silver, and look to a free coinage measure as the one means of redemption. That is the first point. The Populist idea embraces that, and the leader of all the Populists is Gov. Waite, and right here comes in the second point: Of course I am well aware of the standing Waite has in the East, but there is not a man in Colorado to-day who can command the enthusiasm that Gov. Waite can whenever he chooses to appear before the peo pie on the platform. He reads nearly all his speeches from previously prepared manuscript, which is very common among speakers here. The third point is the figure the Catholic church is cutting in organized labor. The Catholic following is very strong in this country, and as you know that church is very jealous of any other power which does not depend on it for a guide. You remember the great Cripple Creek affair last spring. Before that trouble opened up three Catholic priests went through that country "sightseeing" and "incidentally" visited the mining camp. Of course these facts were not intended at the time for the public, and since the trouble was over interested irties have sleuthed out the facts. These priests called on a delegation of the mine owners and offered if they would allow them to dictate the foreman and superintendent of all the departments the mine owners could reducc wages, which would be accepted. The figure was put down to $2.50 per day of eight hours, then offered at nine hours, and finally they offered ten hours, but the mine owners did not consider it policy to so involve themselves. When the clash came the principal fight was Protestants against Catholics. Numbers of people from Denver went there and put themselves under the command of El Paso county sheriff at $5 per day to help suppress the insurrection in the mining camp—about 1,600 iu the force altogether. They were just winning an almost complete victory when Gov. Waite sent down the State militia, which took the miners under its protection, and ordered the sheriff's force to go home. Then the real trouble came. The sheriff claimed authority over the premises and Waite asserted his supremacy. It looked as if the sheriff of the county with his deputies would have to settle the question in a decisive battle with the militia. But the sheriff turned over the authority to Waite after several days, and he was not allowed to take any of the miners in custody. Just last week the militia was finally brought home, and the sheriff is proceeding to arrest those for whom he has warrants and whom he was not allowed to arrest. During the beginning of the outbreak the most atrocious and revolting crimes were perpetrated. I have heard several talk who were of the Protestant minority in the mining camp, and who slept with their bands on their guns and did not dare show themselves in daylight. The Protestants were too few in number to make any show of resistance. After the war was ended Gen. Tarsney, who defended these people with his militia, took the cases and defended them in court in his capacity as a lawyer. Hence the tarring and feathering of Tarsney. "H is a-boilin" in El Paso county. Generally considered the worst hasn't come yet. "THEBGQ."

A Business Proposition.

Desiring in every possible manner to furnish our readers with a superior grade of literature at as little expense as possible we have made arrangements whereby we are enabled to furnish the weekly National Stockman and Farmer and the Greenfield REPUBLICAN for only $2.00 per year. The regular price of the N. S. & F. is $1.50 per year. It is a brilliant, clean, spicy farm and stock paper, touching intelligently every subject concerning the farm, stock and heme. Read what we say in the article headed "Wonders Never Cease."

Address all orders te the REPUBLICAN office. For Petoskey, Mich., the great hay fever resort take the Grand Rapids and Indiana Ry. from Richmond or Winchester.

The Sheep Industry lu Indiana.

Judge William Lawrence, of Ohio, advises Indiana farmers to go into the Sheep industry more largely. He has an extensive letter in the Indianapolis Journal from which we quote:

Free wool i3 thus a conspiracy with two purposes, to (1) limit wool manufacturing to the New England States and Eastern cities, and (2) drive Western farmers into an over production of cereals, beef and pork, thus to furnish cheap food—food at less ihan fair prices.

The next thing in order is for Indianapolis capitalists and enterprising citizens to manufacture all wool shipped here, They can buy interior wool at a less price than Eastern manufacturers obtain it, because the freight, commission, etc., on wool to Boston can be saved, equal to 3 cents per pound. And there will be a saving, too, in selling the manufactured goods more nearly direct to consumers than Eastern manufacturers can do.

The West should avail themselves of these advantages. The people of the United States under normal condition-:, consume 650,000,000 unwashed pounds of wool annually. Of this, there is imported in raw wool and woolen goods about one-half, thus draining our country of its gold to pay for foreign wool and woolen goods. The United States can and, with adequate protection will produce all our people need. This has been fully proved we need no foreign wool to mix with ours. The flocks of Indiana should be increased to 8,000,000. If an addition of only 4,000,000 were made to the flocks immense advantage would result. They would aid in preserving the fertility of the soil. The proper developement of the wool industry will be a large addition to the wealth, annual income and profits of Indiana farmers. An addition of 4,000,000 to the number of their sheep will add in the value of sheep, $10,000,000 to the wealth of Indiana farmers, and will add to their annual incomes $6,000,000 for wool and $4,000,000 for mutton, or a total of $10,000,000. Of course this would only be so under normal conditions and with adequate protection.

Sheep husbandry is valuable because it utilizes lands which connot be advantageously used for any other purpose. There are some millions of acres of this kind of land in Indiana. There are other millions which will soon be worn out, if not employed for sheep husbandry. There are other millions of acres of hill lands, which will be destroyed by the washing of rains with ordinary continuous cultivation.

Sheep husbandry is important because it give® employment to 1».bor and thus adds to population and wealth. An addition of 4,000,000 of sheep in Indiana give employment to csrpouters and masons to erect barns and sheds to men to clear lands, make fenres and care for sheep. With increased incomes all these would more largely patronize home merchants, and bakers, and grocers, and schools, and colleges, and churches.

It is sometimes said by a farmer, "I own no sheep I have no interest in the wool tariff." But he is interested. The proper increase of sheep would make an increased demand for corn and oats to supplement the pasture and hay furnished by the transfer of apart of the lands to sheep husbandry. An increase of 4,000,000 sheep will make an additional annual market for at least 4,000 000 bushels of com for stock sheep,and for 1,000,000 mutton sheep, nearly if not quite 3,000,000 bushels, or a totai of 7,000,000, worth an average of $2,100,000. With the needed reduction in cultivated lands, the annual corn product in Indiana would be about 80,000,000 bushels. The increased demand for 7,000,000 bushels would enhance the value of all that would remain. If other States would follow the example proposed it would be worth all the foreign markets that Europe crop failures could produce. The total annual exports of corn from the whole United States from 1870 to 1889, inclusive, were only 56,786,864 bushels, or 3.9 per cent, of all produced.

It may be said that free wool will give Eastern manufacturers such an advantage that Indiana cannot compete with them. Free wool, indeed, seems inevitable, but the overthrow of the political party that brings it is as certain as that Representatives in Congress are to be elected in the year of grace 1894. Free wool will go faster than it came, and the people will not let it stand on the order of its going. It has started to go before it is here. It "will die a borniu'." Now is the time for Cleveland to get ready for the "good time coming."

For a brief period, under free wool, sheep, if kept, will be kept at a loss to their owners. It may be well to fatten all the old weathers and old ewes, but keep all the young sheep, especially all the ewes, and be ready to supply the demand for sheep and wool when the general policy of protection shall be restored as it will in the next presidential election including what we have never yet had, "full and adequate protection for the wool industry."

I advise wool growers to "hold the fort," protection is coming. Keep your ewes and be ready. Encourage interior wool washeries and wool manufacturing. Sheep will rapidly advance in price so soon as a protection Congress is elected, even in advance of a law for the protection of the wool industry.

And now a word to wool consumers Free wool will not permanently secure cheaper clothing We now have in the United States but little over 40,000,000 sheep. We need 115,000,000 to supply all the wool the people of this country require for consumption. With this number we will need no foreign wool, and scattered as our sheep are and will be over forty-five States, besides Territories no combination or trnst can possibly monopolize the wool clip and then fix exorbitant prices.

But free wool, as a permauent policy, would substantially destroy our American sheep husbandry, and then importers of foreign wools would combine and organize trusts to buy foreign wools at low prices and then put up prices te extortionate figures for our consumers.

Our American consul at Buenos Ayres in the Argentine Republic, reported to the State Department Dec. 30, 1893, that a. Massachusetts syndicate of carpet manufacturers have for years bought up the course wool of Donskoi, "and thus instead of competing with each other, get the product at the lowest possible price and then distribute the clip by some arrangement among themselves." (See U. 8. Consular Rep., No. 163, vol. xliv), April, 1894, p. 663.)

A similar arrangement exists as to Russian Donskoi wools. In these days of trusts and syndicates, similar combinations will be made to bear down the price of all wool, imported and domestic. If we permit wool manufacturing to be limited to a narrow circle in the Eastern States. The Eastern manufacturers

Free wool, as a permanent policy, will substantially destroy American sheep husbandry. The Democratic party is committed to this free-wool policy. The Democratic Senators and Representatives in Congress voted for it. Your own two Senators could have prevented this ruin. The Republican party is pledged to "full and adequate protection." Farmers should vote to secure justice for themselves.
