The government s receipts are now larger than its expenditures; before Harrison retired from the Presidency just the opposite was true.

The Coxey Army business is the legitimate and direct result of class legislation such as tbe McKinley liill, and Republican law-makers are entirely to blame for it. Democrats should not bp charry or choice of words in denouncing thee protectionist amendments that have been and are being appended to th Wilson bill in the United States Senate.

When you hear Republican calamity howlers talking about “these bard times,’' just remind them of the fact that “these hard times'’ are the di reel result of Republican legislation on the tariff and finance questions. The policy of the Republican party in teaching the people that this is a paternal government, dutifully bound to see that each individual’s sitting her>a attend to business, and that every truck patch return a rich harvest, and every shop and store make money for its owner, is responsible for Coxey’s army. Paternal government teaches pauperism and crime, instead of industry and self-reliance.

It is a wonder that Republicans du not allow the Democrats to pass the W ilson Bill. Republican politicians and newspapers say that the passage of the bill will annihilate the Demo cratic party, and as its annihilation is the supreme wish of the (>. O.R P., fillibustering and speech making in the St nate should cease, that the bill may be passed immediately. There is no notice in Republican papers of tbe fact that the Democrats carried the election in the Third Con gressional District of Ohio, last week. 1 his was the only election held in which national political issues were at stake, the others being purely local contests. In tins Congressional race, however, the Republican press of the country had loudly boasted that the \\ ilson Bill was the issue in the district, and that Rathbone tbe Republican candidate, would be elected by from one to two thousand majority. The result shows exactly the reverse. Gov. McKinley carried it last year by over ( UO, and the fact that tarill reform was an issue against protection and that both sides worked hard, that the respective candidates were strong men in their parties and personally extremely popular, gave a da-h and zest to the campaign that called out the entire vote, but there was no McKinley majority last week —Sorg, the Democratic tariff for rev enue only candidate, was elected by a majority of nearly 2 000.

The speech of Senator Mills, on the tariff question, in the Senate last week, was a masterly etiort and full of sound argument and truthful iu formation. It has always been aserted that the prime object of pro tection was to protect the wages of American workingmen, and prevent competition by the pauper labor of Europe. Mills demonstrated that tiiis allegation was false, and his deirtonstration is not denied by any Re publican Senator, it logically fol lows that protection is for the benefit of the owners and not the employes in the prelected industries. Mr.

Mills said :

“In one ton of steel rails the labor cost is

»3; the tariff is 113.14.

"In flOO worth of cutlery the labor cost is

*44.24; the tariff is *81.11,

The Democrats of Indiana are

firm in tlie faith ; the local contests of last week and their results cut no tigure in the field of national politics. The effect of the late elections on the coming campaign will he that Demo crats will get together and make a stronger pull than under ordinary circumstances. They arc firm in their belief in the Democratic creed ; they stand by the Democratic platform which declares for the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the use and coinage of both gold and silver, without discriminating against either metal, or charge for mintage; they stand by the policy of a tariff for revenue only ; in a word the Democratic masses are honestly supporting the platform of the party as honestly interpreted, and on this record they will stand and force the fighting un-

-1- ii r i 0- . van———» i It seems from the liistory of busi nees affairs during the past months that the enactment of tb* McKiuley law did not bring with it business activity and prosperity, and the country is not uproariously jubilant over the workings of the law From common rumor it is learned that some of the Greencastle Repub licans were so terribly in earnest in their efforts to carry the late election that they undertook to force people to vote the Republican ticket by threatening to boycott them in business. These men should remember that it is not good politics, neither is it good business, to mix business and politics, and furthermore that the boycott is a two edged sword—in wielding it you are apt to injure yourself more than the one whom you endeavor to boycott. We hope that tliese hoycotters were not reilly in earnest in their threats; that they were simply endeavoring to work -i bluff—if they were in earnest it will prove a boomerang.
