THE INDIANA STaxx. SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY JUNE 20. 188a

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20.

Faimtrs in thii country have over $12,210,COO,000 inyested in their business. Ma. Jay Gowld's yacht Atalanta has been tried and can easily make seventeen miles aa hoar. The Star Boats verdict clears Kerdell, one of the gaDg, who swears he is guilty anyhow. Things look mixed. IVili. Mr. Dorsey tell us how much money he used in Indiana to elect Governor Porter? Fiahback says $400,000. Is he right, Mr. Dorsy? The total exports of provisions, tallow and dairy products for the month of May amounted to $6,2J5,415, against $0,13i,01-" for May, 1332. Now, perhaps Mr. Dorsey will tell ns who wrote the Morey letter. They say he knows, and that he is a Republican. New, Mr. Dorsey, let ns have a clean breast of it. Dcbisg the coming campaign in Ohio Keifer will lead off for the Republicans. His first effort will be to show that he did not charge the Government fire cents for shining his brogans. Do?.3iY swears he will divulze. that is to say, he will vomit This he will do aa Secretary of the Eepublicaa National Comaiittee. It will be interesting to see him heave and Eet when he throws up an Indiana "high official." Chattanooga, Tenn., reports the death of an old citizen. Hi3 age is given at 107 year3. Bayard Tajlor only excepted portions of California when he made the broad statement in a lecture in this city about ten years ago that Lower Tennessee contained the healthiest climate in the world. The Star Route Juryman who was threatened with "jimjams" Beems to have been wore level-headed than his more tenperate brethren on the Jury. He was for conviction until the last moment It looks as if the moral to be drawn from this man's example -would rather lean in the direction of antiprohibition. The Republican partisan prejs used to lie about Mr. Hendricks or McDonald separately and at intervals. They have mate quite an artistic advance recently. They pair them and then lie about them together. It is a thrifty and ecoaomical arrangement, and leaves them with what the banks and insurance men call "a reserve"' something over for a new lancier. The Star Route gang go out from a Court of Justice in the Capital of the Nation cleared by the yerdict of a Jury of the terrible charges that have been made against them. Mr. Dorsey should by all means take his place once mora as the Secretary of the Republican National Committee, ani Brady would make a capital Chairman. He evidently has all the requirements necessary to fill that t-QBitirm. Democratic Presidential candidates ought not to take life too bard Here comes a report from Indianapolis that Mr. McDonald and Mr. Hendricks, being, by some awkwardness of a master of ceremonies, placed next to each other at a banquet," failed to recognke each other. New York Herald. All of which is false. They did recognize each other aad talked together. The Herald sheuld be sure of its informatioa before it ventures to pronounce opinions. This all eprung fror a let of "swash" which appeared in the Indianapolis Journal the other morning. "Whes a new moon makes its appearance, farmers, as they meet, are in the habit of asking each other, "See the new moon? Is it wet or dry?" Something of the Eort takes place when one of Henri Watterson's interviews makes its appearance. Men read and laugh. One asks, "Wet or dry?"andthev laugh and criticise. "When Henri is wet he is certain to flash like a firefly or a glowworm; when dry he pitches into revenue for tariff only. Those who know Henri prefer him when he is wet It would seem by reports that a considerable portion of the State of Michigan, at the depth of about 1,500 feet, is supplied with a bed of pure rock 6alt. The deposit of salt has been penetrated to the depth of 115 feet without any indications of being near the bottom of it The discovery was made in the vicinity of Marine City, on the St Clair River. The extent of the deposit is noi known, but it is believed to be large. A few square miles of solid salt, eay 200 feet thick, will be sufficient to 6upply the world far several years; and with euch great abundance, the salt industry ought not to be ranked with the iniaata. The Indianapolis Sentinel denounces the War! bummers In unmeasured terms for making a political corruption machine out of the Insane Asylum. It says it will react on the Democratic party. rKokomo Gazette. "Ward bummers" have not been mentioned in the Sentinel, except perhaps, when a crowd of them, with a Republican Board, had control ot the Insane Hospital a few years ago, or were doing some local deviltry. They were ousted by Democrats in 1?7:. Republican "Ward bummers" in this city are "a bad lot" They have controlled Marion County politics for lo! these many years. The Sentinel has never associated the present management of the State Benevolent Institutions with "Ward bummers." As the mail brines ns papers from various sections of the country we find the same lie in all of them concerning Messrs. Hendricks and McDonald at the Bates House banquet, -viz: "That they turned their backs and did not apeak, otherwise discourteously treated earn other," etc. We have branded this as a lie several times and now repeat it once again. It is a deliberate, malicious lie, made up the night of the banquet by a batch of youcg Republican correspondents for papers in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities. The straDgest part of the matter lies in the fact trat snch papers as the New York Sun, Herald and Times believed it and treated it seriously in their editorial columns. A Hawkete fellow asks to be pardoned for Lis Republicanism, and then proceeds to say that "the fashion of these days is to write and speak in apologies, bat if you were here, obliged to live in the light and see the practical workings of the Government you wouid on'y wonder at the ecarcity of my utter

ances on political subjects. It has been my ill-luck to see the Republican party giving itself away for several years, and playing into the hands of its enemies, until I have wondered that Lincoln, Wade, Stevens, Morton, the noble dead, do not rise from their honored graves and utter anathemas upon the weaklings who thus forget their struggles and triumphs." Alas for the "noble dead" of the Republican party and several times alas for the ignoble living, like Mahone, Dorsey and other "high officials." How deoeut Republicans hanker for a number cf first-clafs funerals.

STRIKES AND STRIKERS. There are really but two causes prodacMve of strikes one is to advance wages and the other is to prevent a reduction of wages. Workingmen are intelligent, and as honest as other men. They are disposed to let well enough alone. Their income is their wages; they have no other resource whatever. They study the problem of living, and arrive at conclusions severely exact They deal constantly with necessities. Lnxaries are out of the question. Besides bread and meat, clothing and shelter are to be provided. Workingmen know they and their families are liable to fall sick. The doctor must be employed and medicine must be provided. They know their children must go to school ; therefore books must be purchased. If the family attends Church, there is ano'her demand upon the wages. Frudent men take all these things into consideration. They are discussed at home and among themselves. Thousands of workingmen are ambitious to lay by someting for a rainy day, for old age, for funerals. Death, under the gaise of fickle f ishion, has of late years become expensive. A man can't die any more for $3 or $10. Common poplar boards are tranformed into rosewood, and a coffin or a casket costs almos', as much as a cottage. When workingmen find that their wages will not support themselves and their families, they ask for an advance. They say: "We are makine fortunes for others; we ought to have enough of the gains to live like men." If it is refused they bear it as long as they can ask again. If the advancs is not granted, sometimes they work on; again, they strike. When they are receiving just enough to live comfortably, it often occurs that propositions are made to reduce their wages. To this redaction they frequently consent, when convinced that the exigencies demand it, and at the reduced wages they can pull thrcugh. Sometimes they decline to accept the reduction, and a strike occurs. In some establishments strikes are never beard of. The relations between employer and employe are so thoroughly understood that strikes are not resorted to. In other establishments strikes are common. It is held by some that strikes are never profitable to the striker; that he is always the loser. These propositions on their face are plausible and arithmetic is apparently against the striker. But the proposition?, when analyzed, are fc-UDd to be defective since there is no stopping place. Take the propasition of reducing wages. A man is receiving say $1 per day. The proposition is to reduce wages to eighty cents. If he strikes he gets nothing at all while idle. He loses eighty cents a day or $1.80 a week. It will hurt him if he strikes. Any wages are better than none at all says the philosopher and it appears like common sense. But there is a principle involved S3 serious as life or death. Bslow a certain point life can not be sustained, hence the employer can aot be permitted to determine the question of wages. The workingman must have a voice in settling the question. Theworkingman for a time may be the loser, but if in the end he secures wages that will enable him to lire and support his family, he has been immensely the gainer. Besides, a great principle of right has triumphed for himself and for others. In the matter of wages he has a right to be consulted, to have a voice, and in gaining such a victory he dignifies labor, elevates the 'aborer, and thereby confers a blessing of no small proportions upon socity; for since laboring people are in the majority, ani are clothed with all the high prerogatives of sovereignty, the public welfare demands that labor shall not be impoverished nor degraded. "Strikes," says the New York Herald, "are becoming more frequent and weges are being Blowly but relentlessly cut down under a spell of industrial depression ; and this process must continue unless some relief, other than such as will merely stave off the evil hour without removing the cause, is afforded. These disturbances, which are from time to time recurring, only show a deep undercurrent of discontent on the part of the workmen with their condition." If we are to believe reports wages are going down, and the reason assigned is "over-production." Over-prcd action is the result of a limited demand, want of market, and this want of markets is the direct result of a tariff policy which shuts the manufactures of the United States out of the markets of the world. The tax on raw materials, es we have shown in these columns, is a decree against competition of the United States with European workshops. Workingmen have learned to their sorrow that a high protective tariff does not protect them. On the contrary, that it, in the long run, is their deadliest enemy. The remedy for strike?, efficient and certain, is in the Lands of the laborers of the United States. It is to move in solid calania against the protective tariff. With untaxed raw materials the workingmen of the United States can command their share of the markets of the world. The cry of over-production will be hushed. Granting all that the advocates of protection claim for it in the past, "jet it is an absolute certainty that it is now nothing but a dead weight on the commerce and in dustry of tha country. Its defects are so glaring aa to completely shut out the good that might be attributed to it, and these de fects act against the interests of the work man." The time has come for workingmen to go to the bottom of the wrongs under which they have labored, and to see if there is not a better way to impiove their condition than to resort to strikes. The Herald further eajs: By lestrictiog the foreign commerce of the Ni tion it prevents a free and full development of its resources, which are as yet scarcely known, so great are they. This restricts the employment of labor. By increasing the cost of manufactures it pre vent a free competition wltn the foreign pro ducer in fecign markets. This not only restricts the employment of labor here, bat It also render Impossible the export of surplus products, and If the high rate of domestic prjductioa which has

prevailed dor ;3f tie paatdecads is tobe maintained a foreign market is eaaential.

By restricting the outlets for surplus products this excess is forced on the domestic markets and a period of stagnation ensues, during which pro duction Is restricted, profits are almost nil, the de mand for labor is rendered unsteady and at low rates of wages, and finally strikes aad riots prevail. Are we entering upon such a period? By taxing articles of common use the cost of living Is increased and the struggle for existence rendered more severe. Moreover, these taxes are proportionately much heavier for the laborer than for his employer, because a rauch greater share of his Income Is spent Cor articles of consumption. So that while restricting the employment of labor a severe tax is levied on him, thus doing him a louble Injury. By Its action It creates a real antagonism tetwaen labor and capital, as it aids the latter at the expense of the former. These are tut a few of the many ways In which the tariff robs the workman. The foregoing makes the situation plain. The wayfaring man can understand it Wcrkingmen have the ballot. It is in their power to remedy the evils of which they rightfully complain, and that remedy once secured will b permanent It is to move against the protective tariff policy at the ballot-box, to turn a deaf ear to the advocates of monopoly, and free themselves from a bondage which tariff taxation has enforced upon them. THE STAR ROUTE INFAMY. The Sentinel long since placed itself oa record in regard to the result of the Star Route trial. We have never believed that the Government contemplated a verdict of "guilty." Those who will take the time to analyze the altogether infamous business from its inception to its close will readily see that conviction was not what was aimed at. The Republican administration conceived the idea that it could thrust its skinny fingers into the public Treasury and take therefrom all the moey required to purchase for the Republican party what it stood much in need ef. Its character for honesty was totally wrecked. In matters of Integrity it was bankrupt. Its reputation for veracity was dilapidated to an extent that thorough repair was demanded with an emphasis that admitted cf no delay. To prosecute the Star Route thieves was thought to be a remedy for the ills and evils ior which the Republican party was everywhere denounced, and it was resolved upon and begun. The country is familiar with the hitches and delays experienced at first to get the prosecution under way. Just here it ihould be remembered that there never was a purpose to punish the Star Route thieves for stealing. That was not the programme. It wes proved beyond nil cavil that they individually robbed the Treasury. In that regard the testimony was overwhelming. But the charge was nut for stealing, but for a nmfjilrar, to steal. Twelve men, pood and true, say the charge of a conspiracy to steal was not proveD. The Jury do not say that the Star Route thieves did not steal individually. They simply say they did not form a league or plot to steal. If the charge bad been for simple robbery, each thief standing alone responsible for his own acts, every one of the rascals would have long since been in the l'enitcntiary, but the Republican Administration did not do that The Department of Justice formulated the charge of conspiracy, which it knew well could not be proven, and went to trial. The New York Herald says: The Attorney General and those he selects to help him are responsible, not only that there shall be no failure of justice, but that men shall not be brought to trial on charges which can not be substantiated; for there is as great a wrong in the one case as in the other. The verdict of the Jury has not merely acquitted the defendants; it condemns the Attorney General and his helpers. It declares on the oaths of twelve men that the Government brought false charges against these defendants. That is a serious matter; it is an Injury for which these men ought to have redress from the Govjrnment. That the verdict does not declare that there has been no waste or msladniinistrat'.oa in tne Star Eoute management gees without sijlng. That question the Attorney General did not choose to put to the Jury, lie and his assistants deliberately brought a specific charge of conspiracy. The Jury says they did not prove it. Why, thea. did they bring it? Brewster and bis pals evidently had two reasons for bringing the specific charge of censpiraye against the Star Route thieves. One was, by bringing a charge which they could not prove, the Republican party would gain an immense amount of notoriety for virtue and honesty which it did not possess, thereby placing it in a better condition before the country to demand a new lease of power. It W8S a well-laid scheme of depravity and duplicity. The Department of Justice, under Republican rule, played viliai n to catch villains, and the fact brings to the front the other purpose Brewster and his pals had in view in carrying forward the Star Route trials. They found that the trial would afford an excuse for robbing the Treasury undtr the tanction of law, and they have robbed it. Brewster has deliberately permitted, aye, sanctioned the most stupendous robberies of the Treasury under the pica of prosecuting robbers. The result is the Jury has whitewashed the Star Route robbers, and Brewster has already begun to defend himself against charges quite as infamous as any that have been laid at the door of the Star Route robbers. The indications now are that the corruptions of the Department of Justice will be thoroughly exposed. Brewster deserves impeachment, and the probabilities are that an effort will be made in that direction. The United States Senator from Nebraska, Van Wyck, i pledged to have his rascalities investigated as soon as the Senate is again in session, and it is confidently believed that the rottenness in his department, if such a thing is possible, will be found to be in excess ot anything ever charged against the Postcftice Department under Hayes' Administration. The scheme, so adroitly laid by the Administration to impress upon the country its anxiety to punish fraud, has already completely collapsed. The people see through the whole network of hypocrisy. Dorsey is free, and it was never the intention to convict him. lie was charged with conspiracy to rob rather than with robbery. The trial was prolonged to enable the Department of Justice to rob the Treasury, and now, after the trial is over, the Republican party is in a worse condition than it was when the indictments were found. It is now known that the Star Route thieves did rob the Treasury. It is known that the charge of conspiracy was made with a full knowledge that it could not be proven, and that in prosecuting the thi jves robberies of the most flagitious character have been per petrated by the Department of Justice. The

people are now more fully convinced than ever before that the Republican party cam not reform itself, and that the only thing left for them to dt r to remove it from power. That will be- done when opportunity offers.

It is amaz'npiy amusing to note with what ceaseless severity the Republican press ef Indiana let Mr. W. P. Fishback alone. Mr. Fishback, himself a distinguished Republican, has arraigned the . bosses of his party in Indiana "high officials" for crimes that should have sent them to tbe Penitentiary. Yet not a Republican organ nor a Republican boss dare utter a word of defense or apology. Talk of Dorsey and Brady, the Star Route thieves bad enough, men, devils and angels know; still they are not charged, as Mr. Fishback charges Indiana Republican "high officials" with conniving at such flaeitious crimes as "bribing election tßriah tuff hallot-hott and falsify ejection rebtrns."' We challenge the Republican organs and the Republican bosses of Indiana to deny the absolute truthfulness of Mr. Fishback's terrible arraignment We challenge the Republican "high officials'' to intimate that Mr. Fishback has falsely charged them with felonies. Not a word can be by any means extorted from them. They are dumb as paving-stones silent ss mummies. They take Mr. Fishback's excoriations with less resistance than would be exhibited by donkeys or spaniels. Why is it? Ordinarily Senator Harrison would respond. The time was with the Republican party in Indiana that a thousand tongues would wag in defiant unison to extricate their "high officials" from sach scathing charges as Mr. Fishback makes. Air. Fishback is high authority. He is a gentleman of position, character, and intelligence a writer of renown, the peer of the best men in the Republican party of Indiana. An important campaign in Indiana is near at hand. Can the Republican party go into the fight with head up while Mr. Fishback's charges against the "high officials" of the party remain uncontradicted and disproved? There stands the charges black, hideous, threatening and crushing. "High officials" ciniveil at Penitentiary crimes. No Republican organ, no Republican boss.has dared to put in a denial. Do the peop'.e of Indiana want a repetition of such infamous proceedings as Mr. Fishback charges upon Republican "high officials" in 1830? Will honest Republicans follow again where such "high officials" lead? We do not believe they will. FAIU SKX FAN'CIES. A roi.OR r.EAH R The average belle.

DAKOTA KOT A PARADISE.

A Repräsentativ From a Disappointed las slSraai, The rush aaade last summer to Dakota Territory in consequence of the repatation of the "bonanza wheat farms" and tbe agents (f interested Railway Companies, is likely to be augmented during the coming season by the large immigration arriving from abroad as well as by our ewn citizens whs are willinto believe the silvern stories promulgated by interested parties. It seems well, therefore, to caution the adventurous to look at both sides of the question, the negative of which is rather ably stated in the following extraet from tbe Chic igo Journal: Notwithstanding that the emigration to Dakota this fpring has been so great that some of the lines of railroad leading thither Lave been absolut blockaded, tbe Chicago Journal bas lifted its voice against the expediency of the exodus, especially from tbe State of Illinois. Th story of Dakota , has been in some respects altogether too highly colored: tbe emigration business has been overworked ; the excitement i3 abaat over, and now comes the relapse. Dakota is no cenbt a good place for wheat growing purposes, and is just the place for the pcor foreigner from Sweden or Norway, or any other cold country in Europe, to settle in, but the climate is too severe for a man who has been raised anywhere south of the fortieth parallel of latitude. As a matter of courtesy on the part of the geographers, Dakota is placed in the "temperate rone," but when wells twenty feet deep are frozen over and winter seti in abeut the 1st of October, with a csldaess that defies the registry of Fahrenheit, and continues until May, it might as well be called a cold section of country. From a letter written to the Aledo (111.) Record, by Mr. Thomas 8. Sharpe, who hai been a resident of Hutchinson County, Dakota, for the past five years, s me facts may be gathered that will en! ightn those who are contemplating settling in that Territory. We quote some extracts from Mr. Sharpe's letter: "Persons East will do well to accept with caution the reports about Dakota. They appear znastly written by persons who have never raised a crop or seen one raised. North Dakota ia a wheat region. South Dakota is rot, and between is debatable land. I have lived here five years cn a homestead. There is plenty of good wate:, bat more bid, aad seme have dug several wells before they hit palatable water. A roan can rabe timbsr very easily: orcharding has been tried and determined. "I have net teen a crop of wheat of twentyfive bushels per acre; htve asked old ettlers and they have do.

Flsx n our nisia market cop, and is fast ruioing lini dvote i to i Many who nderfciic shiep firoiiaa; hae given it up. Cattle hu&iuets is tbe most profitable business at prpeot, and th men who run threshing niaoh?iei grow poor at ir. "There is a heavy immigration ti this Territory, and muc'i of it f a land-griVin nature.

And many an honest pioneer taes his claim, toils to make a Lome, and in a yetr or two finds himself alntos isolated lrun ::esghbrs and debarred from tbe blessings of s c 'y. "If g a$! oppersora failure of craaocc irs this year, iht re will be a bigger stimpade then followed Moses r old "Ane one intending to cutis to Dikita Teintory ocght to bf? prepared to accept the regular hardships of pioneer life.

His grip is on some qiarter or mire of nearly every eection. and five years will sea tbou&ands of farms in his hands." It Feems from the alnve that Dakota is not the land of promise, flowing with milk and honey, which many people have been led to believe, and Mr. Sharpe's representations are abundantly corroborated by others. The man who leaves Illinois for Dakota is going away from home, "and don't you forget iL" A Good Investment. One cf our prominent business men Baid to us tbe other day: "In the fpring my wife got all run down, and could not eat anything. Passing your store I saw a pile of Hood's Sareaparilla in the window, and I got a bottle. After she had taken it a week she had a rousing appetite, and did everything. She took three bottles, and it was the best $3 I ever invested." C. I. Hood t Co , Lowell, Mass. After Uresliau. The New York Times, tbe leading Republican organ of the coantry, thus attacks our new Postmaster General. Ou May 5 Postmaster General Gresham advertised for bids from all firms that aesired the contract for money crder blanks and books. lz bidders responded, and one of them was the Public Printer, who is at the head of the Government Printing House In Washington. The lowest bid far blanks was submitted by a firm in Philadelphia, and the lowest bid for blank-books by Wynk.iop &. Hallenbeck, of this city. The contracts were tbetefore awarded to thee tirms, and awards were announced to them on the SJi inst. Theso firms had spent money in preparing proposals which contained nearly SOO items, and in other ways. They were proud of their success, and they seat their thanks to the Department. They were then unacquainted with the Departmtnt'smethodj in BUCh C8SCK. On the following day they were informed that the Public Printer had found several clerical errors In bis proposals aad that the awards mtde to them had been canceled. The firm In this city immediately forwarded to the Department tin emi haue protest. It would be useless, they sail, to I id again. They bad carefully prepared their est mates, and the Public Printer, knowing what tJ ey ere, could easily bid lower in the next ci mpetition. Thev als gave aotice that they inter ded to sue the Postmaster General for damages. The course pursued by the Department ia letting contracts seems to depend upon the character of the bidder. When Micer, a member of the tar Koute ring whom the Department is prosecuting, happens to be the lowest bidder, the ofli cers of the Department send the papers to the Conrt House sad bee him to take the contract, after they have caused the withdrawal of all bids. When reputable business men become the lowest bidders contracts are taken away from thea, even after awards have been made, simply because another bidder has discovered la his estimates several blunders, ior which it Is right that he saoull süßer. Mrs. Xtngtry'a Stocklaga. INew York Star. I was making some purchases Thuraday afternoon at a Breadway store when my eyes fell upon the diviae Lillie Lsngtry at the boeiery counter. She was in search of a bax of black hore, and in considerable doubt as to the proper size. "It you will permit rae to hofd the foot cf the stocking to your closed hand I can judge if the size is right," suggested the dapper clerk. The Lily glanced at him searcbingly to see if he was in earnest, and then, with all the coyness of a schoolgirl, she drew her hand from a ccuettish little pecket in the aide of her wrap, and extended it hesitatingly with a qoiver in the Ingers, let it drop suddenly at last into tha clerk'a outstretched palm. Iler hand is certainly large, but it is plump and piak and pretty, and tbe grace with which it was extended was worthy of Modjeska. You csn't think of rose leaves while looking at the fair digit, but it will suggest pink sea shells and round balls of golden butter lying to cool iu the clover that has grown up around tbe well-curb. I was ungallant enough to glance on the box for the tiae of the hosiery, and the figures were .,1 ' M '2 The farm of Mount Terdon is now in excellent condition. An eighteen-acre wheat field promises a crop sach as wonld have delighted Farmer George Washington's heart.
