TERMS One Dollar per Year

Successors to the When.

The repeal of the Sherman law should he closely and firmly coupled to a silver coinage law that can and will maintain a parity between gold and silver coins

Entered at the Postofflce, f.reencastle, Ind. as second-class mail matter. There ie no doubt that reform is needed and will be had in the tarifl and currency laws. The Republicans harp continuously about the 60 cent silver dollar, but we note one truth—you cannot go on the streets, or into bosiness houses or banks and get silver dollars for less than one hundred cents.

The suggestions about an entire change of the financial system of the country and doing away with the greenbacks can be put down as dan-1 gerous to the weal of the people and j calculated only to benefit the select class who are immensely wealthy— only this and nothing more. Tree it is that a poor man stands but little show now-a-days : his vested rights are gradually being wrested from him. Ground for this complaint is furnished in the fact that the courts have decided that even a dog can be levied upon and sold to satisfy a judgment rendered against its owner.

Can such tilings he in these days of Christian civilization and higher aspirations? A preacher down in Georgia, who had charge of three congregations, has been n ested and jailed tor running an illic. distillery. One of two things is surely true—he received small pay from h : ° flocks, cy else he was ardently fond of spirits in liquid form. _ The information at hand is that; badges made of ‘McKinley tin’” arcnot the proper caper in Ohio this year, as they were twelve months ago. “Protection against the pauper labor of Europe,’’.“protection to the farmer,” tin badges, tin bucket brigades, and all such humbuggery will not fool the people ; experience and Trading are more potent than political fakes of the sort named. There is no real foundation for all this talk about the repeal of the Sherman Act “restoring confidence” in financial affairs. The repeal of the Sherman Act coupled with the passage of a silver coinage law’ predicated on honesty, and not catering to the whims and Vishes of the gold standard cracks, will do more to restore confidence, perhaps, than aught else, and if the currency laws are to be changed it should be on the lines here indicated. It is not strange that the financial affairs of the government is in the shape it is. The bond holders, money kings and gold hafpns have dictated the financial policy enforced by the Republicans during the past thirty years, and they have grown arrogant m the matter; they assume that op-1 position to their pet measures is monetary sacrilege and should be punish-; ed with death and d n. The time j is about here for the smashing of j their idols : the day is at hand for the iirTJ.ukv : . i’>: ';? «• of the land. The first principles of Democracy are equal priveleges for all, exclusive priveleges for none : all legislation should be to secure the greatest good to the greatest number. The Democracy are in power; the financial and all other legislation will be honestly in the interest of the many ; the pocketbooks of the masses will be as well and as carefully guarded as those of the capitalists; the great truth will be emphasized that the whole people are greater than the few millionaires.

It Declares the World's Fair to Be II* legally Open on Sunday—Rail ways Reduce Rate* A Suit Thrown Out of Court.

For 18 Years

There are few occurrances in this age of the world that cannot be so vividly pictured in words by’ an eyewitness that but little is left for the reader’s imagination to fill in. On Monday last at the World's Fair grounds, occurred a tragedy beyond the ken of pen, or pencil, or brush to fully portray. The writer was in sight of and only a short distance from the ill-fated cold storage building destroy ed by fire and saw those doomed men tread the path of duty even to the death—and such a death—the old similes of that which is sudden, unexpected, terrible and tragic in meeting the grim destroyer are too tame to describe the fierce and furious ad vance of that maelstrom of fire which encircled and engulfed those devoted men who had been lured by duty into mid air to fight a fire above, while below them was a furnace of smouldering tiames ready to belch forth without a moment’s warning, insuring swift, certain and utter annihilation. Fancy about two score of men on a frail wooden balcony, built around about as frail a wooden tower, - 200 feet above mother earth, with an avalanche of (lame descending and a roaring, seething mass of flame and smoke ascending toward them ; only a few feet of heated air between fire and their heads above and fire and their feet below. No pos sible means of escape save by jumping from the tower to the roof downward some 80 or 1*0 feet. See them huddle together at the northeast corner of the gallery—the spot freest from the red demon because the wind fanned the flames to the southwest; watch them take counsel with each other—’twai only seeing for no word of their’s could be heard by the on lookers because of the roaring of the Haines; you hold your breath with painful suspense, your heart almost ceases to beat as you see that first fire laddie jump from his prison of fire to the roof almost a hundred feet below ; in his downward course he revolves over and over, passing through (lame and smoke, and finally becomes a shapeless mass of quivering flesh from fearful impact with the roof, and this only to become food for the blaz ing pile of resinous pine of which the building was built. This first one to leap from the torture of death by fire to more speedy death by attraction of gravitation, is swiftly followed by another, and another, and still others of his doomed compan ions, until only one is left on that fatal gallery. Then he attempts to make the leap to death, but is too late; the tower, gallery and man collapse and fall down together, disappearing into the sea of fire which by this time envelopes the entire building. Tne stoutest heart turned sick ; no stoic but was moved to open and heartfelt sorrow ; none so heartless but felt the awfulness of that scene of death and destruction. Dante’s Inferno paints no horrors so dread or so realistic as was the trage dy between 1 and 2 o’clock at the Columbian Exposition on Monday, July 10. It will be a day ever remembered in connection with this world’s exhibition. The belief will be that only culpable ignorance or negligence allowed the erection of such a death trap on grounds dedicated to an exhibition of the progress of the world in art, architecture, mechanic!, and the sciences. Tears for the fallen; investigation, and publication of the truth, and denunciation of those, if any there be, whose ignorance or negligence made so dire a catastrophe possible.

Sherman is ashamed of it and wants it repealed. The sensible thing to do is to wipe it out and pass a sensible, effective coinage bill that will place silvei and gold coin on a parity. The fact becomes prominent and unimpeachable that Benj, Harrison desires and expects the Republican nomination for President in 1896 ; it is also plain as the nose on a man’s face that McKinley thinks that he is entitled to and will receive this selfsame Republican nomination for President. This state of the case will make a very pretty little neighborhood quarrel in which the chances are that the “Little Napoleon,” of Ohio, will out general and defeat the the Grandson of his Grandfather.

With honest intent and purposes we wish to affirm that we care notj how much or how little silver the government puts into “daddy dollars;” our desire is that it bear the imprint of “one dollar” stamped thereon in the United States mint, and we will receive them gladly and with all haste possible from those who owe and wish to unload their silver on us to square the books. A “daddy dol lar” pays for the Star Pre*s for a whole year. Bring along your silver coins and we will receive them at par. The silver coinage question is the all absorbing topic of conversation in thise midsummer days, and many are the false statements going about in regard thereto, all calculated to deceive and mislead. These statements are conjured up and given circulation by people who favor the single or gold standard of coinage, and are intended to benefit t:.eir cause. The Evansville Courier says: It is 1 mportant that the Democratic new spapers of Indiana should be thoroughly acquainted with every phase of the legislation instigated by Great Britain and which was begun in 1873, having for its object the permanent and universal demonetization of sil ver, because no other question will be discussed as widely in Indiana, whose people are a productive, as the money question. The Democracy of the nation practically adopted the declarations of Indiana State Conventions for the past twenty years on the sub ject of silver coinage and Indiana Democrats should be the last to turn t raitors to their own reconl for two decades and to the most recent declar at ion of the National Democracy in favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver. Stand fast in the faith! It will be a foolish and baseless error for the so called “gold bugs” to misconstrue the President’s call for an extra session of Congress or the repeal or the Sherman law, which will probably be the outcome of this extra session, as a step in the direction of a single gold basis in this country. Both Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic party are pledged to maintain the parity of the two metals—gold and silver—as the basis of American money. The coin value of gold and silver is now equal and interchangable, and the primary purpose in repealing the Sherman silver purchasing act is to avert the danger of a serious disturbance of the prevailing equilibrium. Itubelieved now that 2 -.uflfco.ifTd uvi.-unt ' ' -ilyev fphvvcally and in the shape of certificates) is in circulation along with the gold, gold certificates, Treasury notes and National bank notes to provide the country with the ?urrency necessary to its commercial transactions—it more silver he needed in the future, it will be provided. Such is the pledged policy of the Democratic party, and there are no indications that it would be wise or patriotic to change it now.
