Keliable statistics prove that Indiana ranks among the States as third in the production of wheat, fourth in corn and hogs, seventh in cattle and railways, and eighth in coal. It seems that there is not much left for Indiana to hone for.

The suggestion of the Star Press that Indiana should head the next Democratic Presidential ticket, and that Governor Matthews is the man to head it with, has been widely copied and favorably commented upon by the Democratic newspapers of the State. The Indiana Supreme Court has decided that a fence is a structure under the mechanic’s lien law, and that “a mechanic, laborer or contractor, who furnishes the material or does labor in the erection thereof is entitled to the bcueiit ot the provisions of the law.” Lost, strayed or stolen, the “home market” for wheat, cattle, labor, etc., which Ilepublicans promised as the result of the passage of the McKinley Bill. A liberal reward will he paid for information leading to the discovery of this often promised but never materializing McKinley Bill Home
Market.
It is amusing to hear the opponents of an income tax kick and croak and growl about this proposed law, especially when the fact is considered that these kickers, and croakers, and growlers will not have a cent of these income taxes to pay. Many of them have incomes nearer ijiKJO than $4,000
per year.
Possibly the Republican party had ' a mission that it was called into existence to fulfill, but it has outlived ; its mission and its usefulness is a j matter of the past. The sooner it j drops into inocuous desuetude the better it will he for the people. It is strange to note the effect of [ business depression in highly protected Pennsylvania; it seems that all i the “infant industries” of that State are in bad shape. A special telegram : notes the fact that “five grave diggers employed in Ivy Hill Cemetery have been discharged,” and of course the Republican newspapers immediately averred that their discharge was the result<of business depression resulting from the threatened passage of the
Wilson Bill.
It is hoped that the Bland silver coinage bill, which passed the House 1 last week, will pass the Senate and receive the approval of the President. If it does it is a favorable omen for j further legislation favorable to silver coinage. This Bland bill is only a I moiety of what the people demand in the way of silver coinage. It is time for Congressmen to begin making good their promises made when the Sherman bill was under considera tion—the promises were to give si! ver favorable and fair treatment after the Sherman monstrosity was re-
pealed.
The Democrats in Congress should round-up and cling close together until they make good the platform and pledges upon which they were elected. The promise of tariff reform legisla tion and the doing away witii Protection, ivliiCu is ‘robbery under the form of law” gave Democrats control of the Legislative and Executive branches of the government—there was no other issue before the people ; the Republicans during the campaign

Democratic victory meant free trade; the people rushed to the Democratic standard and made their fight for economic reform, and a great and glorious victory was won by them. They will not stand by and see the fruits of their victory frittered away by time servers who make plain their desire to prove recreant to the trust reposed in them by their constituents without protest sufficiently emphatic to make itself felt at the next general election. Their demands are not full}' met by the Wilson Bill, as it
It is all foolishness to attempt to convince the people that the Demo cratic party is reponsible for the hard times and business stagnation which we are having and through which we have passed. The people cannot be

The time approaches for the nomination of Democratic candidates for city offices. Good men nominated assure a possibility of election and doing away with the era of extravagance that has long burdened the city. Let us nomitlale a ticket made up of competent men and if victory is not ours the signs of the times are deceiving. Those Protectionist Senators who pilfered their way into the United States Senate by pretending to be Democrats should resign t their seats in Congress, that their constituents may not be misrepresented ; they are a stench in the nostrils of tl e people w hen viewed in the light of Democratic platforms, Democraticljprecedents, and Democratic promises. The Protective Tariff League is “doing its dirtiest'’ to prevent legislation favorable to a reduction of tariff taxation. Money and inlluence are being used where t::ey will do most good in the endeavor to defeat the Wilson Bill. The petition racket is also made part and parcel of the tight against tariff reform in that the League is paying big money to individuals for their time and talk in securing signatures to fake petitions that are forwarded to Congress, pro testing against the passage of the Wilson Bill The people who read and think for themselves are not taking any stock in the vaporings of Republicans to the effect that they are going to be victorious from Maine to California and from .Montana to Mexico at the next election. The Democratic party is all right; it is not attacked with a fatal malady; it is suffering from malarial poison taken into its system by the election of certain protection ists to the House of Representatives and U. S. Senate who were supposed to be honest out-aud out Democrats ; alterative and tonic treatment will soon right this trouble, and the rem edy will be applied. Ti.e farmers and wage earners re alize that promises made by the Re publicans are never fulfilled. They promised a home market and big prices for the products of the farm as the result of the passage of the McKinley Bill, and the passage of thai law has resulted in ruinously low prices for these products. They pro mised plenty of work and high wages as the result of the victory of McKin leyism, and as a result mechanics and wage earners are receiving the lowest wages known in two or three decades, when work is furnished to them, but they are not furnished work for more than one-third or one-half of the usual hours of labor. It is in order for Republicans to make good their promises or stop their croaking. As a matter of fact the passage of the McKinley Bill put unearned dollars into the pockets of milliouaire-mono-polistic-manufacturers and took dol lars out of the pockets of the balance of the people.
