Indiana ranks fifth in tire roll ol States in the value of its real estate and personal property. Honest money, ns defined by President Andrews, of Brown University, is “gold and silver working together.” President Andrews hath a level head.
The Republicans nre woefully mixed ami muddled on the currency question—i very 1 irje minority of those who have heretolore voted the Republican ticket, without asking any qiustkns, now i.vtr that they will vote for no candidate who is not an avowed bimetaliiet standing on a bimetallic plantform of principles. The tropics could do no better in the way of hot sunshine than was our Indiana experience, on Monday last. It was the hot.cst day in June known in the history of this section ■of the country, nt:d t'fe records- show that only three summer days in the past twenty five years were ps hot as Monday last, and they oecured in either July or August. There has been much talk about Cleveland calling an extra session of Congress to provide funds to meet the deficiency caused by knocking out the income tax law. There is no probability that the President will do any thing of the kind. The fact is that tiiere is not going to be any serious-delloif Postmaster General Wilson says that ‘d trade revives and continues to improve it has of late ‘there will be revenue t>., ’gh. From now oh^an increasingly L.rge amount of whiskey must be taken out under the new tax, and this increa»e will amount to over ii>15,<HH)00<). With an increase in the revenue from customs duties the new taxon whiskey will make up the deficits this month. You see, the internal revenue collections are $0,0000,000 and the tarill nets about $7,000,000 while we paid out over $10,000,000. I think times are improvin'* and the government will have all the necessary revenue and a deficit will be a thing of the past.”
The boom of Carlisle, for President, does not seem to gather strength— its sponsors should, withdraw it, and start it again later in the season. Wool, on the frte list in the Wilson B;l! commands a better price that it did during the McKinley Bill period, with a protective tariff placed upon
it.
The W-Uon Bill and thirty cent wheat was the burden of song in Republican newspapers, but since wheat went up to 75 cents the Republicans newspapers have “come down” wonderfully The talk is that the > ditors of Indiana will attend the Atlanta Expos! tion in a body, next October oi November. The Cotton Slates Exposition will undoubtedly be a wonderful fxhibit of the arts and Indus tries of the South, and will do much towards informing Northern visitors as to the | ossibilities of the South. Be it un letstood that the attempt of the Republican party to rob silver of its coinage value will not be a last ing success — the people are determined to give silver its old time place ami power in the coinage of the country, and the laws emasculating it and detracting from its money value will be wiped out. The people demand and will enforce their de mand—just as well tumble to this fact now, as in a year or four years hence The Albany Timss Union take? Upon itself the task of explaining the true meaning of bimetallism, a? there is diverse opinion in regard to the matter. It says it is a mistake to suppose that it implies overvaluation of silver. It would undoubtedly raise the price of silver by monetizing it, but the direct purpose is to give free coinage to the metals at whatever ratio may be accepted by the leading civilized counto s ns reasonable, practical and stable. The desire of bimetalists is that the world’s silver shall be added to the available mass of legal tender money metal, believing that this would stay the full of prices, which they attribute to the deficient supply of gold. The men who manipulate and manage the affairs of the Republican party nre much worried over the out 1 >ok for the future. They fear that they have a Congress of their hands that will buck, kick, jump and balk when the members are placed in Congressional harness. The Republican leaders want nothing done in the way of legislation on the questions of finance and tariff; they want sppro-p-iation bills passed, and a lot o f speeches fired off that can be used as Campaign literature, but they don’i want to make a record on the tariff or currency questions. What the result will b 1 * is bard to determine, its there are a lot of young, untried, rattle-brained statesmen who have seats in the next Congress that are desirous of making records calculated to give them a boom for a second
term.
The Plymouth Democrat has been unearthing some old newspapers, and
says :
Anions the most interesting of these papers is the Chicago Democrat, May 22, 1839, edited by John Wentworth, “f3 per year always in advance." It is a 7 column folio, all home print, as electrotyping and “Chicago Heady Prints" had not then been inrented. At the head of the editorial column stands this notice, which, in the present condition of financial matters more than half a ce ntury later, is now of special interest. “Shall ours be a government of the Hanks or a government of the People? Shall we have a constitutional Treasury or an unconstitution National Bank? Shall we have a constitutional currency of gold and silver, or one of irredeemable paper? Shall we live under the despotism of a moneyed aristocracy or under the safe guards of a free constitu-
tion "
The Rothschilds—bankers and money boac-es of the continent of Europe — who have more practical knowledge in money matters than most mortals, have declared themselves in favor of international bimetallism and this fact causes a New York newspaper to say : "The truth is that men who deal in worldwide loans are, more than anybody else, anxious for the world-wide stability of exchanges. And some of them are beginning to think that the recent business depression extending over the world was largely due to the disturbance produced by making gold payments a trade barrier between Europe on the one hand and Asia and South America on the other. They take the broad view that the co-operation of all nations upon a bimetallic basis would insure greater stability in finance and greater freedom of commerce than can be expected from the present situation, with silver monometallism the basis of trade in one-half of the world and gold monometallism in the other. And besides, the output of gold is increasing in Alaska, in the Rocky Mouutains, in Africa and all over the world at a rate portending a depression of its value within the next ten years. There are whispers abroad of vast quantities of long-hoarded gold in China and in India. When the Rothschilds see danger ahead and begin to look for safety to the old stability of gold and silver bimetallism, spare us the spectacle of American statesmanship makinir ajfetich of monometallism, either gold or sil-
ver.”
God and the saloon-keeper are never on the
sanif side of any question.
What Our Factories Sell England. 1 New York World. The United Kingdom takes more of, our total exports than we sell to nil other countries combined. This is well known. It has been much discussed, but ns our exports are so largely agricultural and mineral an important fact has been lost sight of.
