country. Only one aspirant from Indianapolis, this year, for nomination on the Democratic State ticket, the other candidates having retired from the field in favor of Joe Fanning, who seeks the nomination for State Auditor. Mr. Fanning is thoroughly capable and Btalwartly Democratic, and his nomination would be satisfactory to all who wish well to the Democratic party ; he would make an active and aggressive canvass, and keep up his end of the ticket. The compromise tariff bill proposed by Congressman Harter, of Ohio, is an excellent one and worthy consideration. It is brief and to

direction of free raw material and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow

All the Republicans and a few Democrats seem to have forgotten the fact that at the elections of 1890 and 1892 the people demanded real tariff reform—reform that would levy tariff taxation for revenue, and not for protection. The issue had been discussed fully and fairly and the voters knew how and why they were voting ; they realized that they had been confidenced out of liaid earned cash for the benefit of a few engaged in favored industries, by the McKinley Bill and its predecessors of like but less pronounced character, and they wanted no more of it.

Mark the prediction—Cooper’s plurality for Congress, in this district will not be less than 1,800, notwithstanding the effort of Republicans to w histle and keep their courage up. Republican's are doing thire rejoicing and jollifying now now, and this is the part of wisdom, because if they put it off until after the election there would he no show for a Republican jollification in Indiana. Three decades of a high protective tariff' have knocked the price of wheat from $1 25 to 45 cts., and tl e price of wool from 50 cts. to 15 cts. tireat is protection, for the manufacturer, but ’tis awful hard on the farmer and the wool grower. The active and vigorous campaign conducted by the women of New York before the meeting of the Constitutional Convention seems to have been fruitless. The Committee to whom the question was referred have reported against woman suffrage, the vote being 13 to 4. The South Rend Times says: Hou O. Z. Hubbell has written a strong argument in favor of the free coinage of silver. It appears in the Elkhart Journal, and reveals a thorough study of the silver question. He regards England as the chief obstacle to free coinage, ami demonstrates very clearly that its attitude is actuated by extreme selfishness, in this that she is the great creditor nation of the world, and therefore, interested in

dear money.”

The claim is put forth by Pullman that his car shops were kept running, at a financial loss, simply that the employes might be given work. This is possibly very true, and if true it only makes stronger the fact that be should have consented to arbitration The arbitrators, who would have been cool-headed, clear-minded men of af fairs, would have made a report sustaining this claim and pronouncing the strike unjustifiable ; the employes would have been satisfied, and the loss of life and money so greatly to be deplored would have been avoided. It takes Iowa to waltz to the front with innovations, whether it he in politics, in morals, in religion, or whatnot. In one of Iowa’s thriving towns the churches have formed a sort of syndicate or trust, the end sought being the care of the sick and the dead. Each member of the churches named is assessed 50 cts per week, and this fund is used to pay for medical attendance for the members of the trust who may be come sick, and give them if3 per week during such sickness ; in case of death the funeral expenses are paid from the general fund. How this church co operative scheme will work out is yet to be developed. These be the days for Democrats to stand up for Democracy and Democratic prinbiples. Allow no man to attribute business depression to the Democratic administration ; an insin nation of this sort should be repelled by a statement of the fact that the hard times began under Republican rule, stimulated by Republican legislation, and nursed by Republican antagonism to Democratic measures that would do much to right the bnsi ness wrongs forced upon ;the 'people by thirty years of Republican control of public affairs. And ^if you hear your Democratic friend or neighboexpressing indignation heoinse th* Democracy do not proceed to the un doing of Republican wrongs with sufficient speed, advise him to be patient; call his attention to the fact that it is impossible to undo in two years what it required thirty years of Republican rule to accomplish.

It is cheering and pleasing to note that business is increasing in volume and activity, nothwitstanding the fact that the Republican press and the Republican Congress have done and are doing all that li»th in their power to prevent a return of prosperity, this too for solely party motives, ia the hope that continued depression in business would weaken the party in power and thereby add to Republican strength at the polls next fall. An examination of the facts demonstrate the claim of improvement above made. In the first half of the year 1893 there were 3170 business failures, while in tho first half of 1894 the:e were only 2559 business failures in this country, this latter being just about the usual number when business is proercssing normally The liabilities of the failures in the first half of 1894 are less than one-half the
