HAY

dealers have formed an Associa­

tion which will hold its second annual convention ac Cincinnati beginning September 24. The association has established „ts standards for hay and straw and it is cite object to benefit the producers consumers and dealers, especially tne latter all that is possible.

MR. GLADSTONE is of the opinion that if London stands firm for the single gold standard that advocates of bimetalism a a ':. ill the influences they can enlist will not be able to overcome it. Just why it the grea:: majority of the people want to be banif"Ozled. is hard toj understand. The gold s:--.ndavd.is simply in the interests ol the few.

THE Chicogo Inter-Ocean says that ^Cleveland seems TO be^at the mercy of the sharks that swim uround the ship of .-tate, and the ship itself is rudderless. The administration seenis|to have mistaktirthese'sharlis for*the meneyed interest cf -he country. This is much like mistaking the bears and bulls in the Chica•ror zrain pit fo the farmers of tke wheat tu- corn belts of the praries.

THE Kansas farmers do not propose to Tsf- rohberi of the great benefit's'aud profits to jf derived from their enormous corn :rot this year. The railroads in the past -jave too frequently reaped all the regards by their high freight rates. The \ansas farmers are this year buying -atfcle and hogs, which in that section are celling rather low and will feed their surplus corn and secure profits to be gained bV stock raising.

1 ,' this country men who Oelieve in and advocate the return of silver to its former «stablished place as a money of ultimate redemption, are recklessly abused and calumniated. Men are neither cranks nor fools who simply desire to see silver put on an equality with gold end restored to that place in the finances of this country to which it was assigned -by Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison and other patriots of those early days. Such a policy would lead to the greatest good to the greatest number. While the gold policy favors and benefits a few, of the enormously wealthy people, the bimetallic or silver policy would benefit nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand. It would benefit ail men who work—men who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, because it would enhance the value of the products of labor.

THE U. S. Treasury officials are in a close place, and bonds, bonds, bonds will have to be sold, unless the policy of the government is changed. The treasury officials hope to see an increased amount of dutiable goods broughc into this country from abroad so that the custom revenues will increase the stock of gold in the treasury. They seem to forget that tl^se goods must be paid for, and as our exports have decreased it will take gold to settle the balances of trade against us, and that takes the gold out of the treasury. The thing to do is to protect our markets by a proper tariff, sell all we can abroad and that is only what the other nations cannot help buying of us and keep our gold at home. Borrowing, gold of Europe is the most foolish thing in the world to do to keep our Jsupply up. For every doliar we borrow we have to pay back two, as both principal and interest are made payable in gold. The Cleveland policy only benefits the English money loaners and their New York Wall street allies. Shame on such an un-American, unpatriotic policy.

GREENFIELD.stands an excellent show of securing a North and South road from Maxwell to Fairland. Meu who are on the inside with the officials of the Big 4 railroad say they look very favorably upon th9 project. From the nature of the country passed through, the road could be built in-expen3iveiy and from its location it could easily be operated by the Big 4 in connection with their Martinsville branch. Such a road would give Greenfield and Hancock county an outlet to Cincinnati and the South, aud via Shirley an outlet to the North. It would also give us another East and West out* let. Greenfield would through cheaper freight rates, become a better grain ,! market, making the farmers from one to three cents on every bushel of grain. It would also make freight rates to Greenfield lower, whereby the farmers and citizens of Greenfield would save additional money on their purchases. It would make express rates lower, bring more property into the County for taxable purposes which would lower the tax rate. It would give Greenfield and other points in the County additional inducements to secure factories. In fact there •are hundreds of arguments and reasons why we should have the cross railroad aod none why we should not. A committee of gentlemen will in the near future wait upon President Ingalls and other Big 4 railway officials, and present the*matter to them la as forcible a manner as possible. Since they are already favorably disposed toward the road It ooks like it certainly wiil .be Jbuilt soon

IMPROVEMENTS JT GREENFIELD.

OUR REPUTATION GEOWIXG ABROAD

Greenfield is Mow Getting Kindly Wards 1'ram Every Body.

Indianapolis Journal.

In speaking of State improvements, Mr. L. H. Gibson, architect, said yesterday: "Our pride in local improvements is specific. It grows out of good buildings, well-made and clean streets. Our State pride is aDt to be general. It attaches itself to no particular thing. The citizens of Indianapolis do not know what is going on around them. Towns like Muncie, Anderson, Marion and Kokomo speak with aloud voice, but the smaller cities, like Greenfield, Lebanon, Martinsville and others of this size are not so well known and appreciated by our citizens as those of otner localities. The spirit of improvement is a part of the communities. The city the closest to us which is doing the most in this way is Greenfield. That city has a wide-awake Mayor and a city legislature which is full of the right spirit and backbone. The external evidence of this is visible even to the casual visitor. One who sees that city frequently is astonished at the improvements that are being made in its streets and sidewalks. Even brick and asphalt are now in contemplation. I believe that it is fair to say that Greenfield will spend more money for buildings per capita than any city it. the State. They are now constructing a Masonic temple building with rough stone fronts on two streets, at a cost exceeding $80,000, and a stone school building representing about the same expenditure. Two new church es, a city building and a large number of commercial and resident structures are being built. Greenfield owns its own water works plants, and the best municipal methods are familial* to a large number of its citizens. It is unfortunate that a larger number of our citizens are not more familiar with the spirit of improve ment which dominates a large number of the cities and towns of our State.".

We are obliged to Mr. Gibson for his kind words and trust that all our citizens appreciate the reputation that Greenfield has and is now acquiring, and will do all in their power not only to sustain our present reputation, but to increase it. This can be done by each man doing his best in his own business and keeping his own property in the best possible condition.

The Sunday Enquirer contained a column illustrated write up of some of the poker playing and other gaming indulged in by some of our citizens. It seems the Enquirer proposes to rival the Indianapolis People in catering to people who enjoy reading sensational slush.

The Duncau Family Reunion.

Sunday the children and grandchildren of the late Washington Duncan and wife assembled at the old home place, about four miles northwest of Greenfield, and held a family reunion. The place is now occupied by his son-in-law and daughter, W. W. Piles and wife. Mr. Duncan was one of Hancock county's foremost citizens. He owned over 1,400 acres of land and was a large and successful buyer and shipper of hogs and cattle. Few men had more business push than Washington Duncan. He was born in Virginia, but come to Rush county when two years old and when a young man married his wife, Lucinda Sargeant, of Rush county, and came to this county in 1837, settling on the farm now owned by T. E. Bentley in Brandy wine township. Dec. 28, 1855, they moved to the farm where the reunion was held yesterday, and lived there ,until they died. There were present yesterday the eight children, JohnT., George

W., David L., Marshall T. and James M. Duncau, Mrs. Wm. Piles, Mrs. M. H. Smith, Mrs. Elmer E. Gant, with their wives, husbands, children, sons-in-law, grandchildren and other relatives to the number of 68. A most bountiful afnd elegant dinner was spread, which was en joyed to the utmost. A rail fence was built to make it look as much as possible like the old home place, and then the eight children had their pictures taken. After that the entire group was taken by Cuyler, the photographer. The editor of the REPUBLICAN and family drove in about this time and assisted in disposing of a fine lot of watermelons in proper style. All were loud in their praise of the happy time they had, and next year want to have a reunion which will include all the Duncan families in the county. May they live long and prosper.

Deafaesg Cannot be] Cured

By local applications a? they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely elosed deafness is the result, and unless tihe inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cave. Send for cireulars, free.
