The /democratic tarifl’ law bent Ills both \^»roducers and consumers—it is a swoney maker and money saver for all -.ibe people. ■The campaign in Iowa lias one -veD defined issue, nnd that is that fudge Babb, the Democratic candi£s.te for Governor, is a pronounced advocate of silver coinage, while the Republican candidate is an advocate ■»f the single gold standard—the en Sbwsiaem of the campaign is with the Bemocrats, and there is good ground Sar predicting Democratic victory The Wall street plungers and -capitalists are devoting most of their -space time, now-a-days, to fighting Ike-coinage of silver. This is not at xi' etrange, in fact it is after the •Tissajal order of things—Wall street is ■generally opposed to anything the •Htaeses favor, espicially if it is calcu.afced to interfere with the success of j£a financial operations. The new Democratic tariti'iaw has ■gotten down to business and its ^wtivisions are in full force and tBLaiting themselves felt.

per annum.

The Republicans of tins State artscared—so badly scared that thej betray nervousness and fear for the furture—they have already opened up a State headquarters at Indianapolis, in a vain endeavor to pull themsvlvctosether in shape for the campaign ol !£%. '

The Banner-Times seems to have abandoned its old time croaking and calamity howling. Its silly vaporing? about ‘‘smokless chimneys,” ‘‘motionless wheels,” and “idle workmen’’ have ceased to appear, but it is assiduous in its attention to the wcathei and foot ball.

The factories of all sorts, all over j»K latid ate running to their full •wpacity ; new factories are being built wad new business enterprises are iceing launched ; the industries of the laad are enjoying a boom. These terns paralyze MeKinleyites and Meaioleyism, demonstrating as they do fbat the reformed tarifl' law known •*< the Wiison law, not only reduced '.Axation, but has also benefited and Jiided life and vigor to the different jh&partments of business that Repub prophesied the measure would r/i- ■.

The political campaigns of 1895 are rapidly drawing to a close. The Xphltnade by the Democrats of Iowa Ohio are especially worthy of i»«unendation. Judge Babb, in Iowa, a»d Ex-Gov. Campbell, in Ohio, have "beth made extraordinary ram awwigns, becai -o of the vim, .nhe ability, U.c brilliancy, ami ' iddt 'earnestness tl. y have inectediato the canvass, and because v nf the fact, also, that they have driven their Repub'ican opponents rnlo close quarters, and made matters « *'/»>'>romfortab)e for them that they cjtre'oot answer or deny questions ■aiked or charges made. The races ?! these gentlemen are con*"dere<t ■ aiiuost hopeless in such Republican -strongholds, hut they have demonstrated such ability, and have awak■aaed each enthusiasm, and have jrroven themselves so deserving that - we believe there is a fighting chance iibr them and we hope they will win.

The largest cotton manufactory in the woihl has just been completed and put in operation at Fall River, Mass The wheels of progress spin and the hum of industry grows louder since the McKinley protection monstrosity was repealed, and the Wilson tarifl reform tariff bill took its place. The Wilson Dill has proven a blessing to both the wool producer and the wool consumer—the farmer is getting moie for his wool now than when the McKinley Dill was in force, and the people are buying woolen goods of better grade for less money now than when the protection idea prevailed in legislation.

The demonetization of silver in 1873 caused a reduction in the value of all the products of farm and factory, as well as of merchandise amt outputs from the mines. The assertion frequently made that the value of silver dropped because of over production is not a fact—it was forced downwards in value by its demonetization, just as corn, cabbage, cucumbers, cotton, etc., were.

The gold bugs sti'l sing the old son g that “silver coinage is a movement in the interest of silver mine owners,” etc.; this same line of argument would oppose the building of cotton mills as in the interest of the cotton growers of the South, or of enlarging of iron plants as in the interest of the coal and iron miners of Indiana or oilier mineral producing Slates. Such argument is all “rot.”

That book of John Sherman's seems to be capable of raising as great a disturbance in the Republican party of the nation as the Nicholson Bill has raised within the Republican ranks in Indiana. ’Tis wonderful that matters so minute develop into rows of such magnitude in the political party that has always pretended to stand for all that was good, and true, and moral, ami righteous in the affairs of state.

At Logansport the Nicholson Bill lias developed a peculiar state of affairs, and made plain the fact that the police officers of that town are woefully slow, or that one of the city saloon keepers is awfully sly. The facts are that a policeman on duty saw three men in a saloon after the legal closing hour, and lie called an other policeman to view the situation and act as a witness. Next day the owner of the saloon was arrested for violation of the Nicholson law, and when the case was called for trial he testified that the men seen in the saloon by the officers were burglars, who had robbed him, on that occasion, of cigars, liquors, etc., oi consid eruble value, ami he also preferred charges against the police officers for failing to arrest them. The case has not yet been decided ; opinion is divided as to whether it is a genuine case of btirglarly, or a well conceived ami crafty scheme of the saloon man to down the law and discredit the

policemen. Reelsville.

of the trade situation:

“The volume of general trade for two weeks has hardly reached expectations and now assumes the character of between seasons. \Vh< -sale dealers in seasonable staples, site i as dry goods, clothing, hats and shoos, report only a fairly active business, exceptions being at such points as New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City end Duluth. A noteworthy feature of the week Is the revival In demand for pig iron, the upward tendency In quotations of leading cereals ami the liquidaiion in the cotton market. Sales of cotton goods have been helped by favorable weather and eastern as well as southern mills are well sold up. Wool remains steady In price and holders h til: for an advance. While the woolen goods market is reported unsatisfactory, manufacturers generally are hopeful, although advices from Rhode Island are that unless additional orders are received an increased number of mills

Family Reunion.

I’repnrrttions are now being formulated for a reunion of t he descendants of John Kosher, Sr., and a historical association of Hump Crock and the old town of Blakesburgh. The meeting will be held at Fincastle sometime in May or June, 1S96. It is expected that Rev. W. \V. Curry, of Washington, D. C., will deliver an address on the occasion; also, Allen Harrison, of Montgomery county, and many other men and women who visited Fosher’s mills, the ginseng factory, the woolen mills and the tanyard at Blakesburgh during the times frnin lH20to 1810 will l a present and deliver addresses. Indiana has been blessed with very few men who were the superior of John Kosher, Sr., in knowledge smi usefulness. His descendants will be doing a grand work in perpetuating Ids memory and ids many useful deeds, works and words of wisdom. There are few towns in Indiana with more historical facts connected than the old town of Blakesburgh; although the old town town is gone, yet tne many incidents and transactions of pioneer life are fresh in the memory of many. A great day for Fincastle is expected. ^ xx

From Dun's Point of \ lew.

R. 0. Dunn & Co., m their weekly re-

view of trade, say:

"Ten days ago gold exports seemed very near. But the breau in cotton which then began ripened on Monday into a collapse sonicient to Justify hope of a free movement. Hides have also dropped fharply at Chicago, leather is weaker, and the adjustment of prices to teal instead of Imaginary conditions progresses rapidly. Already lower prices In iron have brought out some Important contracts. Labor difficulties, though including u strike of many Pennsylvania coal miners who do not seem to bo succeeding, are on the whole of no serious Importance. Money markets cause remarkably little trouble, considering the heavy movement of products. Cooler weather has generally helped retail trade, and with Increased consumption by the millions the way will be clear lor better business.”

Obituary.

Jacob Plummer, an old pioneer, died Oct. 23, 1*95, at nib home iu Lob! Creek to>» ueklp, Vigo county, Ind., at the advanced aqe of ,9 years, ISmonths and 19 days. Jacob Plummer was born iu Campbell county, Ky., Feb. 4, 1816. He was married to Eliza Jane Summers, of Boone county, Ky., on March 12,1837, at Covington. Ky. By this union two sous were born, M. K. and J. G. Plummer. The ukliai sou was in Texas when heard front 1 last. The youngest, J. C., lives in Washing-| ton township, this county.

His I tirst wife died January 12, 1892, at the age o ' 1

74 years, 8 months, 18 days.

He was a member of the Christian church 1 for 35 years, prior to that he belonged to the Missionary Baptist church; was also a member of the order of Free ami Accepted Masons for 46 years, and was buried with the rites of the order, at Croy Creek grave yard, iu the ’

family lot.

In the year 1810 he moved from Boone coun- I ty. Ky., to illiuois, ueui Mouuti City. Heie he found he had but live dollars in mouey, | and the balance of his money was in a sus- ’ pended hank at Gallipolis, Ohio, which had suspended while he was moving; so he was left almost penniless in a new country, and had bought 160 acres of land, which he had to work hard to pay for, and began getting out ship timber.
