We hear less aid less said about the election in Pennsylvania by Republicans. The figures show that the Republican candidate for Con-gressman-at-large received 31,000 less votes than Ben Harrison in 1892 The whole matter in a nutshell is that the Democrats staid at home in-

stead of going to the polls.

Czar Tom Reed’s Presidential boom has been started in a practical way, to-wit: Chairman Manley, of , the Republican State Committee ol

Party paper in Greene county, is in prison for committing forgery, etc. From all accounts he succeeded in confidencing the people of Greene county out of considerable money. One of the “goaks’’ of the day is the admirable and self-confident manner in which the Republican politi clans and newspapers are proclaiming Republican victory at the next ensuing November elections. They should restrain their wild fancy—no high protection party can ever again prove overwhelmingly victorious at the polls. The people have had

enough of protection.

There is a grapevine rumor abroad over the county to the iffeet that

Messrs. Thompson and Talbott, tl.e Xhf fact ig p , ea8inK to note that , he Democratic candidates for County Farmers Institutes held in Indiana

The fact is plain that the iron, the coal, the sugar, and the collars and culls U. S. Senators are indulging in a great big hiuIf, hoping to frighten their tarilf reform colleagues into voting against their own convictions

! and in favor of the special interests that the first mentioned coterie dc sire protected. The scheme won’t work. Better pass no tariff bill than pass one that smells to heaven of the

taint of protection.

Commissioners from the First and SecomlJDistricts.are in favor of building a new Court House. There is no foundation in fact or in truth for this rumor; it is a fabrication from beginning to end. Messrs. Talbott and Thompson are opposed to the build ing of a new Court House, and they have never intimated anything to the contrary to any person. The possi bilities are that the rumor was started by the Republicans, and if so, it demonstrates that they will halt at noth ing to gain partisan advantage. The true Democrats in the United States Senate—the men who are tariff reformers, who believe in levying a tariff tax for revenue only—should not be hoodwinked by those Senators who pose as Democrats but insist on making the Wilson Bill a Protection measure. Tbe Democratic majority is not bound to tumble down to their ideas. The Wilson Bill should be made, as nearly as possible, a tariff for revenue bill, and the kickers will not dare to vote against it when it reaches a final vote. Give the people what they demanded at the pu’.lo, they understood the issue and they understood themselves; they have

this winter have received a large share of puolic attention in the communities in which ih n y have been held. This is an indication that the Institutes are of practical benelit, hence the public’s appreciation of them. The fact is apparent that in teliigent and progressive farming are deemed necessary to profit, and farmers are reaching out to learn what is new and what is practical in the search lor ways to make farming successful.

He struck the key note when Congressman Cooper said : “I do not be lieve the Senate ought to construct a new tariff bill for us.” The Senate should prove a purely ornaments! body in matters of revenue for tne support of the government. In a rocent speech on the income ttx question Hon. George W. Cooper gave expression to truth in a pointed manner, as follows : “I will tell you who my constituents are. Most , f them are the hardy tanners of Central Indiana I leel that I do not exaggerate, Mr. Chairman, when I say that if you withdraw the protection of government, if you abandon this magnificent struct jre which we have reared here, the greatest republic which the world lias ever seen, the Indiana farmer, self supporting, selfrespecting, and self maintaining, will suffer least of all. There lie is. There is his home nestling on the hillside, his acres spreading out before him ou the plain down to the brook or the river's brink. He is inured to toil, and accustomed to self reliance. Now withdraw your gov eminent! What becomes of him? He is on the ground. He went there in advance of your government. He and his ancestors went there when that was a wild country, inhabited by wild men, and when wild nature held her away. If he maintained himself then he can maintain himself now If as a pioneer, with no oilier protection than his rille slung over his door ami his faithful dog on guard, lie could prosper then, he can prosper now. You need him more than,he ueeds you. But if you abandon your government, the government of this republic, what becomes of your stocks, of your bonds, of your corporations, and all of these intangible and incorporeal rights, the machinations of the minds of men, that are built up under the protection of government? They will disappear like the airy fabric of a dream. Therefore, I say the men who have incomes, the men who have property of this character, are the nio«t greatly benefited.”
