Circulation This Week, 2,550

AFTER wrecking the Nation's industries by threats of free trade and passing the Wilson bill, which abrogated the reciprocity treaties, the Cleveland administration tackled the financial question, with equally disastrous results.

THE Department of Agriculture reports a decrease of the value of horses during 1894 of $192,000,000. That is rather hard on farmers, but they are not the only sufferers from this free-trade, bond-sell-ng, gold-standard administration.

THERE is talk of the two great Methodist Book concerns in New York and Cincinnati consolidating. Nothing can definitely be determined in the matter however until the General Conferance meets in May, 1896. Last year the dividends for the two branches were $120,000.

As THE farmers wives take less for their eggs than they did under the McKinley bill, they can just think that their Canadian neighbors are gaining what we lose. After the passage of the Wilson bill in August, 1894, during the remaining four months of the year, the Canadians shipped into this country 260,000 dozen more eggs than they did in the .same time the previous year under the

McKinley bill. The Wilson tariff is not helping our farmers. This is what we find in the Canadian Trade Review of February 15:

We seem to be getting' back our egg market -across the border. Last week ten carloads were shipped from Montreal to New York, and realized a net profit to the shipper of 3 cents above what he could get at home. The demand there is still far from exhausted, and further supplies from Canadian points will probably find arising market. This reminds us of old times. Before the passage of the McKinley act our exports across the border ran into quite large figures, amounting in 1889 to 14,011,017 dozen,* of the value of $2,156,725. The 5-cent duty of that tariff cut down these exports to the value of $324,355 in the fiscal year ended June 30.1893.

THE American Economist has a fine story without words in its last issue. It is a series of seven pictures showing the condition

of

this country. 1. Under pro­

tection Uncle Sam is paying off bonds

fast

as the holders come up with them. 2. Factories are all booming and have a placard on the outer wall "Extra hands .^wanted." 3. A free trade orator is explaining to a large audience what free

^trade means, viz Higher wages, cheaper &'K1 necessities, higher prices for American products, more factories, more work, prosperity, contentment, happiness.

Such was the speech of the free trader in 1892, did it come true? 4. The Wilson bill passed, hooray! hooray 1. 5. This factory is closed. Notice, this bank is

closed, working men out of work, men standing before the bursted bank. 6. Uncle Sam with an empty treasury and a notice posted $50,000,000 U. S. bonds for sale, and an Englishman walking np li swopping gold for bonds. 7. Uncle Sam slipping round to a pawn brokers shop in

Wall St. with $50,000,000 more bonds under his arm for sale. 8. Uncle Sam flat of his back with Johnny Ball on him with his hand on Uncle Sams throat and a British banker getting the last sack of Igold out of the U. S. treasury. The ictnres speak for themselves. Who ants that state of affairs to exist or ntinue in the future, certainly no 'patriotic American. Then do some .thinking and vote right when the time comes.

THE defeat of Judge W. S. Holman for Congress has drawn some facts from him which may prove useful to aspiring young politicians. Mr. Holman is now 73 years of age and has been an office-holder about fifty of them. He has been in Congress fifteen terms or thirty years, and was willing to go back another term, but was defeated by James E. Watson. The Judge now comes out in an interview and says that politics is a delusion and a snare and does not contain real enjoyment and happiness. If a man who succeeded in holding office as long as Holman did, did not lay hold of happiness, surely there is not much to be had out of it. The man who succeeds in breaking into Congress for a tferm or two does not usually heap up any large amount of money or monumental fame. More honor, fame and happiness are to be derived from a sue cessful business or professional life than from any other source. By business we mean farming, merchandising, manufacturing, etc. The great secret of happiness is to so live that you will enjoy the respect and confidence of all friends and neighbors and also yourself. Be happy by making others happy. Young man, don't seek happiness along political lines. It is not to be found if you fail in your ambitions, and according to Judge Holman it is not to be found even if you are successful.

THE INDIANA OIL FIELD.

It is Growing Greater and Will Add Millions of Money to the Wealth of tiie State.

Few people have an idea of the magnitude to which the oil business in this State is growing. We surpassed all other States of the Union in the extent and magnitude of our natural gas territory and have reaped and will continue to reap great benefits from that for years to come. The oil field, however, bids fair to surpass in extent and territory the gas fields, and will bring more money to the State's wealth than ever natural gas did. V.:\

Producing oil wells are now running in fhe counties of Adams, Wells, Blackford, Jay, Randolph, Deleware, Grant and Huntington, and in other counties there are 45 oil wells which have developed from gas wells. Oil leasers are now busily engaged securing territory, and before snow flies in the fall the Indiana oil field will be devel6ped and found to extend from Terre Haute on the west to the St. Mary and Mercer county fields in Ohio with Indianapolis in the center of the south edge.

There are paying oil wells near Terre Haute and good wells exist near Noblesville. It will also be found that few counties will surpass Hancock as an oil field. It will be developed in due- time. Now to show what profit there is in oil wells we quote the following: Oil is now worth 57}£ cents a barrel. During December the Indiana oil wells averaged for each well per day 23K barrels, January 25% barrels, February 24}£ barrels. Thus you see it would make each well worth nearly $15 daily and easily $100 per week. Some of the wells up in Jay and Wells counties average 150. barrels, daily, so those people know what it means to "strike oil," and strike it rich.

New wells are being put down right along. In January there were 222 wells completed with 99 dry holes or gas wells, and an output of 3,150 barrels daily. In February 171 completed wells, 72 dry holes, and a daily output of 2,425 barrels. There are now in March in process of drilling, 155 wells and rigs up for 111 more. We do not know the exact number of wells in the State but it can .be seen that they are increasing rapidly, and as each producing well means about $100 a week, it can readily be seen how oil wells will add to a county's wealth. We trust and believe that it will be struck rich in old Hancock, and if so we will know in its fullest sense the meaning of that term—^That man haa struck oil/'

Miss Randall will carry the. best wishes of a host of Hancock county friends, with whom she has always been a favorite.

How can a store that runs on a credit basis hope to compete with a spot cash •tore in low prices? We hare an example of this in our city. Mr. H. B. Thayer's Spot Cash has gone so rapidly to the front that it has hardly seemed possible that such a wonderful trade could be built up in a short time. The spot cash system is without doubt the correct way of doing business. Merchants that follow this mode are found to under sell any house that sells on credit. The store is crowded every day and is drawing trade from all the surrounding towns. When Mr. Thayer gets his new building up we may expect still greater things in the mercantile line.

Jackson Township's Last Institute.

On Saturday, March 9, the teachers of Jackson township held their last institute at the residence of the trustee, J. H. McKown. Special preparations had been made by Mr. McKown and his wife to entertain the members of the institute. Accordingly, the trustee invited his married sons and daughters, with their families, to spend the day with him. The teaehers were all present except one, and at noon a bounteous dinner was served, the quality and quantity of which were characteristic of a man who has served nine years as trustee without missing a single institute.

After disposing of the program, a committee on resolutions was appointed, which reported as follows:

Resolved, That we, the teachers of Jackson township, do her by extend a vote of thanks to our trustee for his unbiased and proficient management of the schools.

Resolved, That we extend to him and his amiable wife our heartfelt thanks for their hospitality during the noon hour.

Resolved, That those resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the institute, and a copy sent to the county papers.

The exercises of the day were closed by Photographer Jesse Orr, of Greenfield, who took. the pictures of the entire assemblage, and by the teachers presenting the trustee with a valuable rocker.

The Madison County. Fire and Lightning Insurance Association will give the sum of $400 for the arrest arid conviction of the person, or persons, who set fire to the barn belonging to Isaac Allen, in Union township, Madison county, March 6,gl895. The Association is ten years old. It'has thirteen hundred members and a capital of $1,800,000. It is the largest and mbst prosperous farmers company in the State, and it intends to demonstrate its strength by remaining in the field and bringing the barn-burners to punishment. The company thinks that some parties desirous of driving them out of business have had a hand in the numerous recent barn-burnings in that county.
