FHi. <i ^R-PR Frank A r.><n,r. F^ditm and Proprietor Saturday, Oct. 22, 18i*2. IJCKAIS One Dollar per Year jCntkukd at tlie Postcttlce, Greencistlr Ind., as second.class mail matter. Harrison seems to Vie still of the opinion that cheap and nasty go together, hence he favors protection, ami consequent dear necessaries of life. The history of the past proves that an unscrupulous enemy will steal the State if it can’t buy it on election day. This is one of the facts not to be forgotten. Report has it that if the Republicans succeed in getting Ex-Gov. Porter to make a speech here, “Cap” Frakes is selected to act as chairman, of the meeting. _ 4 The Republican party realizes that it is a “condition, and not a theory” that confronts it in November, and that condition is the three D’s—desertion, demoralization and defeat. In the present campaign two Republicans who figured largely in Republican politics in years gone by are eonspiciously absent—we refer to James G. Blaine, of Maine, and Eliza Pinkston, of Louisiana. Watch the enemy between now and election day; don’t allow any mon key business as to change of residence, or slight-of-hand performances with boodle. Keep everything square and a big Democratic victory is sure.

The Banner-Times has not yet indicated the provisions of the new tax law it desires to have repealed, neither has it made public the additions it wishes made thereto. Surely it lias reasons for denouncing the new tax law, and it should have sufficient manliness to point out its shortcomings of both omission and commission.

In a recent speech a republican said that “one cent a day from every person in the United States would pay the tarifi’taxes on all the goods imported.’’ This admission is made in the face of the Republican assertion that the tariff is not a tax. Now that it is admitted that it is a tax cf a cent a day on each person, a little figuring shows that a laboring man having five children will pay in tarifi' taxes $25.55 each year. What other tax upon the poor man compares with this?

Indiana isa Democratic State when every Democrat works and does his whole duty before the election, and goes to the polls and votes on election day. During the present campaign the Republicans are not making much noise, and the reasonable inference is that they are at work, and “skullduggery” is going on. Knowing that defeat is certain if the people are allowed to vote their honest convictions, boodle and trickery is and will be resorted to until the polls are closed. Every Democrat should be alive and open-eyed, that he may know and see what moves the enemy makes in the neighborhood, so that they may he promptly met and harm averted.

Only 25 cts for the Star Press fur the balance of 1802. Have the Republicans a majority vote in any State? Jf so, is it not the majority made up wholly and solely of the ne_ro vote therein? Saturday last was a cold day for some people, but not for the Demo crats, as is evidenced by the grand rally held at Roachdale. Republican politicians seem averse to honest elections, hence they arc warring upon the Australian ballot system in several States. A strange fact m this connection is that in every Stale where the Australian ballot system prevails there has been a large falling off of the Republican vote. Will the farmers who have not done so, consider fully the conditions that confront them by reason of the provisions of a high proctective tarifi law? Do they understand that every time they purchase clothing, tools implements, tinware, glassware, queonsware, etc., they pay from o0 to 80 per cent more for them than the\ should. Do they know t.iat they sell the produce of their farms in com petition with the markets of the world and are forced to buy the necessities of life at their true worth, with 30 to 80 per c»nt added in the shape of pro tective tariff taxes.

The citizens of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, have taken a new step in the saloon business. It is yet to be deiii onstrated whether this step is backwards or forwards. The new sup briefly described is that the City Council is going tc run the saloon business there with the city’s capital and for its own profit A certain mi mber of saloons are scheduled for the place, and the city hires a superintendent, who hires all the bartend ers, buys all the liquors needed to keep the saloons in running order, garners the cash and turns it over to the city treasurer. The bills for liquor bought by the superintendent are paid by order of the City Council, the same as other accounts against the city. Democrats of Putnam. It is time to speak and .‘act for the good of the cause in this great Presidential Campaign of 1892 The Central Committee can not do it all; the candidates cannot be omnipresent ; the newspapers are the greatest power, but they can’t do the personal work needed. Every Democrat is interested in polling the largest Democratic vote possible in Putnam county—the Democratic majority should be increased over that of four years ago, and it will be done if every Democrat works and exerts his influence as he can and should. The fruits of victory will be reduction of tariff taxation, honesty and economy in the business affairs of the government, and fair elections. The fruits of defeat will he continued high taxes in the name of Protection, corruption, extravagance and jobbery in the conduct of government affairs, the passage of the Force Bill, etc. Choose ye between them! Is not victory worth striving fer?

TRADE IS GOOD. Th« Uu*hie»M Indications Throughout the Country Ar© Favorable. Nkw Yokk, Out* 17.—The Weekly Review of Trade says: “Once more ii must be said that trade indications an* entirely favorable. Even the shrinkftfr© in exports has ceased, an increase of 11,900,000 appearing here last week, while Imports continue surprisingly large and foreign exchange declines. Boston reports active trade. At Philadelphia the iron market decidedly improves. Western orders for coal cannot be niled because the roavls are blocked. Qood orders for the spring trade are reported in dry goods, while the wool market continues active. Trade in Jewelry Is fair, and paints and oils are active. At Baltimore the Infrequency of southern failures is gratifying and collections are more satisfactory Pittsburgh reports a better market for pig iron and a good demand for manufactured products, with improving prospects in the glass business. Trade In boots and shoes and hats Is satisfactory at Cincinnati. At Cleveland rolled iron is in large demand though pig is lower than ever in price. The boot and shoe trade at Indianapolis reports increased sales and at Fort Wayne sales of merchandise exceed last year’s. Building is fair and manufacturing healthy. At Detroit manufacturers are full of orders and trade is good. “Chicago again reports enormous increase in receipts, those of wheat, oats and barley having doubled, while receipts of corn are about fifteen times last year's. In wool a gain of 40 per cent, is reported: in cattle and hogs ‘Jo per cent., and some increase in tiour. dressed beef, butter and cheese. Business was never more prosperous and eastern shipments of merchandise are of enormous magnitude. Trade is remarkably strong at St. Louis, the corn crop proving larger than was anticipated. Business is larger than last year at Kansas City anti good at Denver At Minneapolis nearly all branches show an increase over last year and the output of flour. 230,00c barrels, Is the largest ever known in a week. At St. Paul an increased movement in crops is seen. At Omaha trade is busy. Business at Nashville is improving, but at Little Hock still dull, though in dry goods better. At New Orleans business is active. “Wheat is an eighth stronger than a week ago, hut corn 1 cent lower; oats, 14 cents; hogs, 20 cents, and lard 15 cents per 100 pounds; cotton 4 lower, with sales of more than 1,100,000 bales for the week, and oil 4 lower. Improved crop reports and heavy movement of products push prices downward. “The business failures oocurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 215. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 259.'*

If the old ndage is still true that blest is the bride the sun shines on, surely thrice blessed is Miss Rena Rail. Rev. T. D. Fyffe pronounced the ceremony that made Mr. C. C. Mridges and Miss Uena Hull man and wife, at the residence of the bride's parents, on Sunday last. The parlors were beautifully decorated with flowers, plants, etc. The bride was attired in a frock of gray cloth made en train, trimmed with a garniture of ribbon and jet: bodice trimmed with silk and wattean streamers, and she carried a handsome bouquet of roses, appearing very pretty indeed. Miss Etta Keightley wore a beautiful silk and lace gown. The groom and his best man, Mr. Keightley, were attired in the comentlonal black suits. After congratulations the bridal party and guests adjourned to the dining room where a bountiful wedding feast was served, the good things for refreshments being made more enjoyable by the handsome decorations of fill flowers which adorned the table. The bride and groom start out in life full ofpromise for good, for happiness, and for usefulness, and tlie with is that these blessings, together wilh long life, will be theirs.

Chicago, Oct. 19.—Telephone communication between New York and Chicago was opened Tuesday, marking a most important step in the advance of electrical achievement. The occasion was observed in a most appropriate manner at the offices of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company at 105-107 Quincy street, in the presence of the directors of the local telephone companies, electricians and newspaper men. Mayor Washburne sent the first official message from Chicago over the 950 miles of wire that sketches away to Gotham. At 3 o’clock p. m. he entered the little bootti and clapped the receiver to his ear. The monitor switched the New York wire and in a short time Chicago’s chief executive was chatting with his contemporary, Mayor Grant. Mayor Washburne greeted Mayor Grant and invited him to come to the dedicatory celebration. Manager Mosely had cleverly arranged connections so that forty people could hear the conversations and music at the same time, each being provided with a receiver. Each guest was given an opportunity to talk with New York, and all expressed wonder at the distinctness with which words uttered in an ordinary tone of voice almost a thousand miles away could be heard. The line to New York w ill be at once thrown open for public business. It will not be used for gossip or idle chitchat The tolls will be nine dollars for five minutes’ use and for longer service in the same proportion. Those who have sufficient business with the company can make contracts at reduced rates for fixed times, but there is little prospect of the service ever becoming cheaper for casual customers. The cost and maintenance of the line is too great. II(iine*t«ndpr» Returning to Work Homestead, I’a., Oct. is. —The largest number of Homstcaders returned to work Monday at the company’s terms which has yet applied in the same length of time. These men are all given employment, and the intimation has boon given out at the steel works office that many other local steel workers would be taken back when they applied. The report of the many desertions has caused much comment in the borough, and coming immediately after the declaration of the local news that the strike is about lost is looked upon by many as a verification of that statement. Hal Painter's Fast Mile. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 19.—The trotters drew a larger crowd to Cumberland park Tuesday afternoon and the sport was sensational throughout. Hal Pointer lowered the track record to 2:04^ in the dash with Guy, going to the quarter in 83 seconds the half in 1:02 «, just the clip Nancy Hanks trotted at Terre Haute, but losing time to the third quarter in l:B3l£, finished with nothing to carry him along in 31

seconds.
