I started this inquiry in December, 1800, so you see there was no thought of the present campaign in laying out the work. The tariff question was taken up because it has come to be one of the greatest moment to workingmen, in whose interest my bureau was established. Now, I am a Democrat—a Hill Democrat, if you will —-and I began this inquiry with the belief that the result would vindicate the Democratic tariff position. The first returns came from the silk industry and were pleasant to my way of thinking. But I am free to admit that the report on the whole is not in harmony with the. Democratic platform so far as the tariff is concerned. However, my duty as a State official is to report things as I find them, not as a reckless partisan would like to have them construed. There is no political bias about any of my reports, nor do I believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the country. All I can say is that the statements of my report are based on actual confidential letters, received from 6,000 repra- : sentatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York State. The result shows me that the leading Democratic speakers on the tariff are in error as to the effects of the McKinley bill. The figures in my report < speak for themselves, and there is no getting away from thorn. —Charles i F. Peck, Labor Commissioner of the State of New York. i

As the supreme court will doubtless set aside the infamous gerrymander, it behooves us to elect a Republican legislature, that the people of every part and party of Indiana may receive equal and just representation. It is the only party that has the heart, breadth of intelligence and patriotism to deal justly with all the people. New Jersey will have a fair election this year for the first time in a decade. In 1889, in Hudson county alone, 8000 fraudulent ballots were counted for the Democratic candidates. To date, 67 of these ballotbox staffers and manipulators (every one a Democrat) have been sent to the State prison. We need a dose of New Jersey law administered in Indiana. Does Indiana need more capital invested in industries to assist this tax-ridden people in paying a Democratic debt? Do we need more laborers engaged in manufactures to consume the over-production of our fertile fields? If so, vote the Republican ticket. Their motto is “Forward march.” We have now one fully established tin-plate factory, and the largest in the world in process of construction; yet every Indiana Democratic Congressman voted to destroy them by putting tin-plate on the free list. Remember, George W. Cooper voted for this measure, and would to-day, if possible, drive every industry from our State. George is not asking votes on his record, but on promises of what he intends to do in the future. John Rusk, suspected of being one of the mob that unlawfully hung Babe Hawkins at Shelbyville a year or two ago, is the Democratic candidate for sheriff in Shelby county. It does seem to us that the good people of Shelby county would tire of the infamy brought upon them by the Democratic party in selecting hoodlums and toughs to fill the county offices. While this selection will meet with the hearty approval of the vicious and lawless element, it certainly cannot have the approval and support of the better class of people- We imagine we see many a life-long Democrat secretly canceling the name for sheriff on his ticket. The Democratic party has been in power so long and in defiance of law committed so many deeds of crime and robbery in Shelby county that a few thieves and white caps of that disgraced county presume to dictate the county officers. We cannot believe that such a selection will be ratified by the people. Mr. Allison, until recently editor of the Brown County Democrat, has this to say in severing his connection with the rotten old free-trade craft, and in answer to their sarcastic howl of “turn-coat:” “Ye editor has not turned his coat. It is an old Jeffersonian coat; threadbare, and out of fashion; and the modem Democrat makes fun of it—and wears a Cleveland cut-away of cherished Rebel Gray! and sanctions the veto of the bill for old and poor Union soldiers. Ye editor is not that kind of a Democrat. He is not ashamed of it! He has not turned his coat on the silver question. He has not changed positions on the tariff question. He is confronted by a condition under the McKinley act. Free sugar and reciprocity! They take sting out of protection, and the masses with a “sweetened tooth” are not howling for McKinley's blood. The Democratic bosses would never even allow the rank and file free sugar with which to sweeten their grog. The ancient and honorable Jacksonian and Bentonian hard money —gold and silver standard dollar doctrine of the Democracy is abandoned by the Clevelandites, and they are down on all fours with their mouths in the dust doing worship to the calf of gold, set up in the Democratic camp by Mr. Cleveland for them to worship. * * Oh, you are a precious set cf self stultifiers. You abandon your party creed,, and then denounce those who won’t go with

you as “turn-coats.” We have always been against Cleveland on the pension question, and we maintain our attitude of opposition to him, mainly on that ground. Free sugar and reciprocity have knocked the wind out of the Democratic orators as relates to the tariff. Desertion of free sugar presents them to the people as unmasked frauds, and their “palaver” thereon is the thinnest pudding ever presented to a public hungry for political truth. The people ask for bread and the Democratic orators give them “dornics” that are indigestible and give those who take them political epilepsy. Selah!” This is the estimate placed upon the slippery old party by a man who has grown gray in its service. He knows what he is talking about, and they now know enough to let the hornet’s nest alone. Emmett Braden and Miss Daisy Young and Londa Butler and Miss India Barnes, of Milford, dropped in here Sunday evening and dined at the Shirley House. Will Ensley, of Flatrock, was over Sunday evening. It is said that Will is looking for a partner of the feminine gender to occupy his new residence. Decatur Warner, of Milton, is visiting relatives here. We Want Your Trade!
