tration is responsible for all the business depression and titu.ncial stringency ot the past year, or more. They forget, or ignore the fact that they promised business activity, plenty of work, and big prices for farm products a» the result of the passage of the McKinley bill. They seem to forget or ignore the fact that the McKinley bill was passed and is now law. They forget or ignore the fact that from the time that the McKinley law was passed times began to get hard and business depression became more and more apparent. They forget or ignore the fact that past history and present events go to [trove that the policy of Protection and the extravagance of the last Republican administration are the first great causes of the hard times, and that the logical escape from this condition is the enactment of tariff reform measures and the management of the affairs of government in an economical manner and on strict husiness principles. The whole truth in a nutshell is that Republicanism passed the laws and administered public affairs in a way that brought disaster, and now they prate and howl about the evils they are responsible for, attributing them to the present administration, hoping thereby to make political capital and attain success at the coming elections.

The scheme won’t work.

It appears that a number of U. S. Senators who were elected as Democrats are really Protectionists—they should change either their opinions or their parly fealty.

There is no good excuse for Demo cratic U. S. Senators playing the role of Protectionists. The Democracy of the ('.untry is disgusted with such apostasy. Neither Republican filibusterers nor Democratic (?) time servers should divert this Democratic administration and Congress from their pledges to pass a tarifl'reform bill. Honesty is best in politics, as well as in religion and l jsiness.

The Republicans say that Harrison McKinley and Reed are to canvass Indiana during the campaign of 1894. We hope these distinguished Repub-

the conseen and

stronger the

Democratic parly will be at the polls. Indiana is ferninst Protection.

The news is that Gen. Harrison is swinging around the circle from Indianapolis to the Pacific Coast by the Southern route, intending to return by the Northern route—’twill be all in vain ; it is a foregone conclusion that the Republican bosses have no idea oi allowing him to have another Presidential nomination.

During the past week Capt. W. P. Wimmer circulated a petition which was signed by hundreds of our best citizens, urging the U. S. Senate to speedily pass the Wilson Tariff Bill just as it came from the House, and that petition has been forwarded to Washington. The Senators from Indiana should remember that the people aie in earnest in demanding taritl'reform ; there’s no compromising the matter with them.

Reih blicans now oppose or have opposed, the Indiana school book law, the Indiana tax law, the Indiana election law, the income tax law, reform legislation and, in fact, every sort of law or legislation calculated to bring about the honest and economical conduct of public affairs The chief aim in life of Republican newspapers and politicians seems to be to pose as loud and tireless ca-

lamity howlers.

Tmu pvtravflgurme of the last Republican administration left the United States Treasury bankrupt and a large deficiency for the Cleveland administration to make good. Now Republicans spend most of their time harping upon the depleted Treasury and other evils for which the Republican party is solely responsible, in a

The people are as much interested in the enactment of the income tax law, or they should be, as in any [mb lie measure ever considered by Congress. The passage of this law means that the men of extraordinary large incomesshaH pay their proportionate share towards the support of the gen eral government. An income tax law will equalize the burdens of government and relieve the farmers and workers of at least a portion of the taxation they have heretofore been forced to pay. In Clay county they seem to do nothing by halves—in matters, public and private, conservatism fails to count. A few days ago two reputable citizens of Brazil had a war of words followed by a fight. In the melee Pierce bit otf Andrews’ nose; not a piece of his nose, but the entire handle of his face, clear up to his eyes Now the doctors are trying to sprout another nose for Mr. Andrews by cutting tlesh from Ins back to graft on his face, but report does not promise that tins tsuigical operation will prove a pronounced success.

The Republican campaign of 1894 is to be made wholely and solely on a calamity howl basis; Republicans are going to continue their endeavors to hoodwink the people by

The demand of the people made at the polls in IS90 and 18'.il!, for tariff reform and the breaking down of the barriers to trade known as McKinley-Republican-Protection, i« as strong now as when their votes were cast; they have taken no steps backward ; the issue was clearly cut and plainly defined; the discussion in the press and on the stump in the campaigns named was confined solely to the taritl'issue, and the majorities against protection were phenomenal. There was an avalanche of public sentiment against a continuance of "robbery under the form of law.” The Democrats in Congress, especially in the U 8. Senate, should heed this state of facts. The people are in no mood to accept, without murmur, a stone when they demand bread ; they insist on the passage of the Wilson Bill it left the House of Representatives, without alteration or amendment, save as alteration or amendment makes it a more pronounced tariff re form measure. The Wilson Bill’s great defect is that it does not cut leep enough; it does not reach far enough. The reduction in tariff taxation, as provided for in this measure, will not average more than ten per cent; it is not calculated to effect a cure of the great wrong of Protection at a single bound ; it is eminently a conservative measure ; too conservative to give absolute satisfaction, but it is headed the right way. Failure to pass the bill substantially as it left the House moans Democratic disaster ; means a loss of confidence by the people in the pledges of the party made in its platforms and reiterated in the press and upon the stump; means rebuke at the polls. The passage of the Wilson Bill means a step toward the fulfillment of the party's promises; means confidence by the people in the party’s pledges ; means victory at the polls and a continuance of the Democratic party in power. No half hearted service in this matter will be tolerated. Tariff reform legis lation means a vote of confidence by the people at the polls next November; failure to enact such laws means rebuke by the people at the polls. The Democratic party cannot success fully serve the people and the plutocrats at the same time ; it mustcleave to the first and forsake the other, else

disaster will surely follow.

The capitalists and bondholders of the east seem to fear that the silver men will eventually secure the passage of a silver coinage law, and are determined *,o head it off as far as possible. To this end they have prepared a new form of mortgage to secure loans they make on farms and homesteads in this and other Western Slates. This new mortgage provides

that:

"Both principal and interest payable in gold coin of ihe United Stales of the present standard of weight and fineness. T. e mortgagors agree that upon failure to pay any or either of said principal, interest or coupon notes at maturity, or taxes, assess inents or insurance as hereinafter provided or on the death of the owner of said premises, then all of said mortgage debt shall at the option of the mortgagees become due and col lectable; mortgage foreclosed and forthwith entitled to the possession of said premises.” This mortgage is truly of the ironclad variety ; the borrower is given no privilage that can possibly fie withheld, and his debt is enhanced bv making it payable in gold.

Thf. cigarette and cigarette smoker is given a black eye by Dr. Jordan, President of Stanford University, formerly President of Indiana State University, in the following language : “As a college teacher my experience rfith boys who have formed the cigarette habit is somewhat limited. It however, confirms me in the opinion that such boys are like wormy apples; they drop long before the harvest time. Very few of them ever advance far enough to enter college. Very few of those who enter last beyond the first year. They rarely make failures in after life because they do not have any after life. The boy who begins cigarette smoking before he is fifteen never enters the life ol the world. When the others are taking bold of tire wotld s work he io concerned with the sexton and the undertaker. There is one grim argument to be made for the use of vigaretts by boys ; it helps on the survival of the fittest. The manly hoy does not take to such things.

Automatic Time Register. City Engineer Arthur Throop has completed and placed in position at the fire department headquarters an electric machine that automatically registers the time required by the fire boys to hitch up and leave the house after a fire alarm is turned in. It works like a charm, as was demonstrated by a test on Tuesday night. On one trial they got ready and were away in 7 seconds; in another trial, the boys being up stairs and in their bunks when the alarm was given; they were ready and out of the house in 15 seconds. The register is started by a wire running up to the bell tower, and it is stopped by a switch set ip front of the hose wagon wheel, vnich throws olT the electric current as the wheel passes over it in leaving the house. Mr. Throop demonstrates hy this and other artistic work in the same lino, that he is a genius in electrical ma-

rassed at the very start hy the bad condition of affairs that had grown up under the previous administration. The republicans staked everything upon the theory that the panic was brought about solely because the democrats would reform the tariff and repeal the McKinley act. The people should remember that the McKinley act went into effect during the administration of Ben Harrison, and if it was a good thing for the people, no threatening cloud of financial or business disaster should have hung over the people at the time of the election in November.

If the McKinley act was a good thing for business and for the people, is it not strange that all this panit should have fallen upon us with tliai act in full force and effect? For tht McKinley act is yet in force, as we ab
