Tilt: time is here, and the Democrats in every precinct in Putnam County should organize, and at once.

Merchants and business men in all the centers of trade report that the settlement of the tarilF question, and the manner in which it has been set tied, has added life and vigor to trade, and the outlook is for a gratifying and healthy increase of business in all lines.

Thk lest evidence of the fact that the new tarifi law is a good one is that it is abused and adversely criticisid by the Republican protection is's.

Last week we published a table showing the reduction of tarili'taxation on articles in general use, made by the Wilson Bill, as compared with the McKinley Bill. Democrats should cut this out and keep it for handy reference—it is a good argument to put at Republicans when they talk tariff in these campaign times. Ot’R prophesy has been verified; the challenge sent to Owen to meet Capt. Myers in joint discussion in ithis city, on Sept. 4, caused conster- ! nation in Republican circles, and they i took to the woods, liepublicans dare | not allow their honest but illy-iu-i for med followers to hear the issues discussed from a Democratic stand punt—they know that the Democracy are now, as heretofore championing the cause of the people, and are (opposing the greed of the manutact1 uring monopolists, who have long I robbed the masses by protective tariff j legislation.

The school teacher will soon b< “teaching the young idea how to shoot,” in the public schools of thir county. It is the people that are benefitted by the new tariff law—the tariff ba rons have had their innings, but now their day has passed.

With perverseness that is com-J The Banner.Times says we make mcndable, the Democratic Congrb.«i| the “glaring assertion that the Methat bos just adjourned failed to pan- Kinley law taxes sugar more heavily dcr to the interests of the protection than the new bill just passed by Conbarons.

The income tax law passed by the Democrats in Congress will cause the wealthy to pay from 130,000,000 to 110,000,000 for the support of the national government, and the taxes on other people will be lessened to this amount. Are there any voters in Putnam County who object to this rijjhtf'ons law ' They have no reason to object, yet the Bepubiican leaders and legislators oppose it most bitterly. The attempt of the Republicans to shield Owen, and prevent joint discussions with Capt. Myers, by asking for thirteen meetings, late in thscanwss a failure. C^p! Myers could -joleil. ,rd to let the opportunity pass, no he has rearranged his dates for the

it of all pain, we re assert the truth of this glaring assertion. The McKinley law levies a tax of one-half a cent per pound on all refined sugars, and these refined sugars are all that are fit for domestic use—this tariff tax is purely for the benefit of the sugar trust, and is absolutely prohibitive of the importation of refined sugars. In addition to this protective tax, the McKinley Bill levied an additional tax of two cents a pound on raw or unrefined sugar grown in the United States, but this latter tax was levied in a way calculated to hoodwink the people; it is paid as a bounty to the sugar-growers by the federal government, and, ot course, the people are taxed to raise the necessary money to pay this bounty, amounting to millions of dollars each year; the free .. .sugar cry of the Republicans is all

sucar is concerned. levies a protective tax for the benefit of the sugar trust, and levies an additional tax of two cents a pound indirectly upon the people for the benefit of the sugar

growers.

Be it observed and remembered that the Democracy of Indiana favor the election of United States Senators

by direct vote of the people.

Reitbi.icans are between his Sa-

tanic Majesty and the deep sea in the campaign just opening. They arc short of political ammunition on both State and national issues ; they know that they cannot sustain themselves in argument on either line, and con-

sequently they are unhappy. It appears that Owens’ sudden at

tack of courage ail oozed out, after he had further considered the situation First he was willing to meet Capt Myers in joint discussion here on Sept. 4; later he discovered that In could not sjiare the time on that day. but would do so later, and th^fatei

appointments will possibly be made

Owen is not desirous to parade his par

ty’s weakness in a joint discussion. The McKinley monstrosity t,

dead—it departed this life last Mot - day at midnight. The protection barons are in mourning, they are weeping, and wailing, and gnashing their teeth, but the people are feel mg pretty well, I thank you, and they will feel better, day after day, as the) learn the benefits tney are receiung directly and nndirectly, because of

the passage of the new tarifi * 1 * * * * * * bill. People who think for themselves;

the intelligent masses who read and consider ; the observant voters of the country can have but one opinion as to their duty politically. The inteicsts of the people are with the Den... cratic party, which has upheld and is upholding their rights.as antagonized by combined capital and aggregated manufacturing interests. The Re publican party continues to do the bidding of monopolists and manufacturing trusts ; it is the willing servitor of corporate greed, and as such is uot in touch with nor is it to Lj trusted by the bread-winners, be they farmers, mechanics, laborers or professional men. The plan of action, indicated by the polities) situation is for all Pemoerete, Ponnjiuta nnH unbiased Republicans to get together and make themselves felt at the polls. Protection, paternalism and political profligacy should he done away with and united ellbrt of the wronged

classes is the way out.

At 1:80 p. m. the senate was again called to order and the committee appointed to call upon the president announced that he had no further communication to make to congress. Resolutions of thanks were tendered Vice President Stevenson and Senator Harris, president pro tern, and at 2 o’clock the vice president declared the senate adjourned without delay. The House. The galleries of the House were packed to overflowing. The attendance on the floor was very light, however, the great majority of the members having already gone to their homes. The resignation of Representative Oates, recently elected governor of Alabama, to take effect December 8, was laid before the house. In accordance with the usual custom Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.) offered a resolution, which was adopted without division, for the appointment of a committee of three members of the house to meet a similar committee of the senate and wait on the president and inform him that congress was ready to adjourn and ascertain if he had any further communication to make. The speaker appointed Messrs. Wilson (dem., W. Va.), Holman (dem., Ind.) and Hepburn (rep., la.). When the committee reported that President Cleveland had no further communication to make, and the usual votes of thanks to the officers of the house had been passed. Speaker Crisp declared the house adjourned sine die.
