national reputation by his able and brilliant championship in congress of tho people's interests against the monopolies, norey's "Homestead Record. Sect 22 of art. 1 of the constitution of Indiana reads: The privilege of the debtor to enjoy the necessary comforts of life, shall be recognized by wholesome laws, exempting a reasonable amount of property from seizure or sale for the payment of any debt or liability hereafter contracted; and there shall be no imprisonment for debt except in cases of fraud. This section, except the last clause, which was adopted as a separate resolution, but added by the committee on revision, stands as reported by the committee on righta and privileges to the constitutional convention of 1SÖ0. It Aas adopted by the votes of 103 delegates apainst that of the present republican candidate for governor (Alvin P. IIovey) and seventeen others. To us it may seem strange that such a humane measure shou d have been opposed by even eighteen members of that memorable body. A fair, number of the delegates were for fixing, by the constitution, the extent of the exemption right. Others would accept nothing more specific than the section adopted, while a few others, including Mr. IIovey, stood out to the 'last, on the pround that the principle was bad and ita adoption bound to lead to vicious results. Gen. IIovey did his utmost on the floor of the convention to defeat this measure. In his set speeches he was bold enough to Btigmatize the principle of the homestead as, being that of the agrarian law of Home. After stating what he was pleased to term the true course and effect of these laws, he said: "And now, sir, without "tracing this historical chain any further, "I think I can see through the distant "twilight of the past the 'Lieinian law' "casting ita gloomy shadow until it has "reached the present age. The arguments "of Cassics of Stob and the Gracchi are "resounding through England, America "and France. 'Give us honors and an "equal division of property,' cry the agrarians of England. 'Down with the rich, "and an equal division of the stealings,' "scream the wild, infuriated 'sans culottes' "of France. 'Permit us to use other men's "property as our own under the sanction "of law,' is the more gracious language of "the followers of those great Romans with "us. Yes, sir, hide it as you will, dis"guise it as you may, the homestead and "the Lieinian law have been woven in the "eame loom and are both of the same tex"ture they web other men's property; "they woof the prejudices of the poor "against the rich. The Lieinian law took the "property of one and divided amongst "others. The amendments proposed "would have the same practical effect, as "they would permit one cla?s, under the "guise of contract, to obtain the property "of another, and then keep that property "under the sanction of tho laws." Debäte Jnd. Const. Con., vol. 1, p. 751. The language quoted was used by Mr. IIovet in the course of his speech against the adoption of an amendment to the F resolution as reported by the committee, embracing the following: And that a homestead owned byany person, the head of a family, in this state to consist of Jand or tora property, not le3 in value than live hundred l.Ilin, l:allbeexmrfP( t mm fctfoyn r ?inrl cul Kv unv Ip'.ral rtrn-

ceas whatever for any (M: conti-nfttd ai ter the adoption of this Constitution: Provider!, that such exemption fh.tll not aüect in any manner any mechanic's lien or niortairc thereon lawfully obtained. "We thus see that the claim of Mr. IIovey, that this measure would discharge existing debt?, was unfounded. He was very wrong also, in his contention as to the Lieinian law. This was fully shown by Mr. Borde.v in his reply to Mr. IIovev's ppeech, by citations from authors ot standard authority. The wrrarian law, to which Mr. IIovey referred, did not interfere with private property, but waa meant to obtain for the plebeians a share of the public lands gained by the republic by conquest, "and to restrict the quantity occupied by individuals, and to cause a rental I to be paid from them for the support of the army. The most celebrated movers of these laws were Cassivs Licinius and the two Gracchi, whoso reputation has suffered with posterity, from being intrusted to the hands of writers who favored the party whoso unjust encroachments were sought to be moderated by these .laws." Erond-t, Tit. Agrarian Law. i Gen. IIovey opposed at every stage of its progress the passage of the measure securing a homestead exemption. He opposed it as being bad in principle. Ho urged that its incorporation in the organic law would be unwise. The debtors' exemption was then but $125. It was raised to 100 by an act of the general assembly reciting the constitutional provision Gen. IIovey fought 60 hard to kill at its first session after the constitution was adopted. It was increased in ISTf) to ;)00. Gen. Hovey's record upon this question is thoroughly bad, and in conflict with the humane and enlightened spirit which has j found expression in the homestead and exemption laws in the various states of the union. The Surplus and the Hank. To tiie Editor Sir: I ee that the republican paper are chargin? the president with depositing a jrreat part of the surplus in "pet" banks and chartrinz n interest, is this no? Lena, Ind., Au. 27. Voter. The statement has a basis of truth, but Is not susceptible of the inference nought to be drawn from it by the republican organs. A portion of the government funds Is kept in banks, designated as government depositories. This is done by the administration under protest, eo to ßpeak, and because the accumulations in the treasury have been so large that it was regarded as necessary to allow some part of them to get into the channels of trade. The government has, fur many years, kept a, portion of its funds in banks. When Jons Sherman was secretary of the treasury immense sums were kept on deposit .Xin the First national bank of New York, Vqn which he was popularly understood to be a large etockholder. The bank was highly favored during his entire administration of the treasury department, made piles of money out of the handling of the government funds, and is known to this day in the financial circles of the East as "Ft. Shermax." There is no law authorizing the government to charge or accept interest on ita deposits, and such a practice is regarded by publicists of all parties as unwise and dangerous. President Cx-syilaxd does not believe In

keeping government money, in any large amount, on deposit in banks. He has only permitted it to be done as a choice of evils. Upon this point he said in his last annual message: The proposition to deposit the money held by the government in banks throughout the country, for use by the people, is, it seems to me, exceedingly objectionable in principle, as establishing too clo.He a relationship between the operations of the government treasury and the business of the country, and too exteuhive a commingling of their money, thus fostering an unnatural reliance in private business upon public funds. If this scheme should be adopted, it should only be done as a temporary expedient to meet an urgent necessity. Ieifislative and executive effort should generally be in the opposite direction, and should have a tendency to divorce, as much and as fast as can safely be done, the treasury department from private enterprise. If congress had reduced taxation as the president has urged it to do in each of his annual messages, there would be no surplus in the treasury, and there would be no necessity of keeping large suras on deposit in the banks. The surplus may be treated in three or four ways. It may be used to purchase bonds in open market at a fancy premium, which is what the bond-holders desire, and what the republican press advises, but is an injudicious and a dangerous policy. Or it may be squandered in extravagant and reckless appropriations. Or it may lie in banka, where it is available for the business of the country, until such time as tho government can find profitable use for it. Or it may be kept in the vaults of the treasury, depleting the circulating medium, and making a "tight money market," with all that that implies. In other words, the surplus may be hoarded or wasted, or allowed to perform gome useful' functions until congress solves tho revenue problem. The administration is certainly pursuing the most prudent and sensible course in the matter.

A Nut That Is Easily Cracked. The Journal in one of ita amusing tariff editorials says: "While on the wheat question, here is another nut for the free-traders to crack. They say every duty is a tax, added to the price of. the article and paid for by the consumer. There is a duty of 20 cents a bushel on wheat, and 10 cents a bushel on oats. Many persons will be surprised to learn that we import these articles, even to a small extent. In the fiscal year ending June 30. lSS, we imported 683,1 1; DU'hels of wheat, valued afci4tJJ.Sö; also 67,803 bushels of oats, valued at $23,töG. These are not large quantities, and probably they were imported for seed, but according to the free trade theory it should have resulted in an addition of 20 rents to the price of every bushel of wheat in the United States, and 10 cents to the price of every bushvl of oats. Of course it did not, nor does it in any case. This is a "nut" that most anybody, be he a free trader or tariff reformer or free whiskyite, would find it easy to crack. In the first place, no free trader ever claimed that a duty was added to the price of a commodity unless the element of foreign competition was present. For instance, we produce a vast surplus of wheat, cotton, etc. Tho American producers of these commodities control the American market and export vast quantities of them to other countries, where they are eold in open competition vith tho wheat and cotton produced elsewhere. The foreigu price governs the domestic price, because if a penny more could be obtained for wheat or cotton in this country than is obtained abroad thy would not be exported. The Sentinel has said perhaps a bunrln-d times that if cotton were protected a dollar a pound or w heat a dollar a bushel it w ouldn't add a farthing to the price of either of these articles. If wheat were put on the free li.-t, where cotton is to-day, it would not affect its price by the smallest fraction of a cent. The duty is sheer humbug imposed for the sole purpose of making the farmer believethat he is "protected." There is no "free trade theory" or any other theory such as the Journal states. As to the small amount of wheat imported the Journal does not seem to know that the most of it is brought from Manitoba and other parts of the Dominion and manufactured into flour at the Minneapolis mills; and that this flour is exported and the millers are refunded the duty paid on the wheat. We are glad the Journal offered us an opportunity to crack this '"nut." The cracking of it may open the eyes of some farmer who now supposes that his wheat is "protected" by the duty of 20 cents a bushel. William Didley Foclke found the republican state of Blaine a very sad place. He says that in many towns there is "really more disgraceful drunkenness than instates where there are no restraints upon the liquor traffic. He speaks particularly of one of the oldest towns in Maine, which impressed him as the most disagreeable and miserable place that he had ever seen. Duringthe morning of a day hespent there, and cn hour quito too early for a community to become generally intoxicated, he saw a dozen persons staggering, leering or talking incoherently. In the hotel w here he w as stopping one of them was yelling out to a friend : 'I w on't drink alone,' while others were swearing and calling each other every sort of vile name. Fighting seemed to ba the principal occupation of the inhabitants, and he thinks that he never saw so large a proportion of disfigured bodies and faces outside of a hospital." Now is this true? If so, the republican state of Blaine is pretty badly demoralized. But we ßhould want some better authority than Mr. William Dcdley Foclke before giving credit to such reports. Mr. Foclke, you know, is the eame man that told Senator Hale's committee about those shocking abuses in tho civil service of Indiana. Ix the house Monday Representative Scott, a democrat, offered a bill providing for the absolute exclusion of all Chineso laborers from the United States, whether they have had a previous residenco hero or not Not a single republican member had the nerve to object to the bill, although its passage is a severe reflection upon their candidate for president. Harrison, it will be remembered, cast fourteen votes against the restriction of Chinese immigration, and his supporters have been explaining that he did so because tho proposed measures conflicted with a treaty. In the senate Monday Mr. Sherman showed that congress had an unquestionable right to abrogate a treaty by legislation. A treaty Is a law, and. like any other law, may bo superseded by an enactment by congress, in due form. Senator Butler of South Carolina put himself in a very ridiculous attitude when he denounced the bill on the ground of its conflict with a treaty, and at the same timo expressed his in

tention of voting for it. Butler, - we should infer from his remarks 'esterday, is a very cheap statesman. The bill went over in the senate until to-day, when it will doubtless be passed. - It is amusing to observe that William Dudley Foclke is being liberally advertised in the East as a man who, four years ago, honestly believed that ''the cause he had eo much at heart" would be best promoted by the election of Mr. Cleveland, and gave him his support and vote. This is rich. William Dudley Foclke didn't give Cleveland his support or his vote four years ago, and he wouldn't do so if Cleveland were tw enty times a saint ami ran on a democratic ticket. Foclke never votes for democrats. The authority which President Cleveland has asked for in the fisheries matter is precisely the same that President Grant asked for in 1870. The Republican senators cannot denounce Cleveland for his action without condemning Grant at the same time. The Journal, in giving the history of the "rebel battle flag" matter, ncglect3 to say that the proposition for the return of the flags originated with Adjt. Gen. Drum, a republican, and now a zealous 6Upporter of Ben Harrison. TnE Journal has never vouchsafed any editorial comments upon Mr. Blaine's defense of the trusts. Our republican tariff protects capital and lets labor shift for itself.

Our present tariffsystem makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. We now have high protection for capital and free trade in labor. Free raw material means better wages for labor. Wages and the Tariff. The Xcw York Tribune devotes a leading editoral to a close and cievcr argument in favor of a higher tariff than the Mills bill imposes on woolen cloth, in order to cover the difference in waget between foreign and American workmen in woolen-mills. As a particular illustration, it takes the wages of weavers, and ays that because the American weaver is paid 67 per cent, more wages for his work than the British weaver that the American mill owner should be paid 67 per cent more for his cloth. In 1SS0 our 1,990 woolen-mills paid 25.8.X392 wages to make product worth $160,600,721. Wages represented IG per cent If this 16 per cent, included 67 per cent, more than British wages it did not; the 7VioMn'wage table are base forgeries, but let that pass the British wages represented 9 per cent of the cost, and the difference between foreign wages represented 7 per cent of the product Take $1,000 worth of cloth, without wages. Here it costs $160 to make it, or $1,160. In England it costs $00 to make it The difference in wages in $70 or 67 per cent. What per cent, must be levied on $1,090 worth of British cloth to add this difference of $70 in wages? The Tribune says we must levy a tax of $7M30, or 67 cent. The Tribune says that the Mills bill tax of $436 10 per cent. is not equal to $G0, when in fact it is over SIX TIM KS the difference in wages, and nearly THREE times the whole amount of wages. The American manufacturer now receives $730.30 in return for every $160 he pays in wages. He receives nearly TWELVE times the difference in the wages, and FIVE times the vhole amount of wayct paid. The Tribune is not fighting for the $70 difference in wages. It is fighting to keep the $29-1.30 plunder in the manufacturer's pocket When it misrepresents and misleads in one thing, it will misrepresent and mislead in another. It has no facts, and must invent It considers its readers fools and unable to see through the folly of its proposition that the manufacturer must receive for his goods the same per centage over the British maker that his workmen receive for their wages over the British workmen.

POOR MAN'S FRIEND IIOVEY.

ANOTHER SCORCHER FROM EDSON. Some Calient Chapters In the Record of the Republican Candidate for GovernorIlia Antagonism to Jews and Ke. SToea-IIU Life Work." Mt. Vehnox, Ind., Sept. 2. SpecialsJudge William P. Edson, republican, furnishes the following statements in regard to the record of the republican candidate for governor. In response to the question, what is there in Gen. IIovev's past career, and more particularly in his administration of the Maelure estate, which entitles hirn to be called the "poor man's friend?" Judje Edson said: - "It sounds rather strangely to a person who has known Gen. IIovey ever since his early manhood, and has witnessed his every-day arrogance of manner, selfish exclusiveuess and aristocratic pride, to hear him designated as 'the poor man's friend.' "Very unfortunately for Gen. IIovey, some indiscreet admirer has invited an examination of his record, by a special to the Indianapolis Journal published A neust 23, 1SSS, in which it is sail that en. IIovev's record has raanr features which recommend him to the support of the khoring men and wage earners, generully that 'vrht-n he voted ior Tlioebe, who contested Speaker Carlisle's seat in the house. he was singly following up a line of action which only was a portion of his life work;' that 'a wealthy old citizen named William Maelure died at 2iew Harmony leaving a will which gave to the poor people deiirinjj literature and an education, ail his possessions;' that 'there were a number of suits in the lower courts, and finally Gen. IIovey was compelled to take the case to the supreme court in order to maintain the provisions of the will. He was sustained in the court above, and then followed over fifty 6uits for the sales of the lands. With, his customary tenacity, Gen. IIovey won every case, and succeeded in securing over $150,001, in cash, from the estate. All of this he judiciously and carefully expended for books, as provided by the will,' and that 'the suits brought in contest of the will are to be found in the Fifth Indiana lleports.' "Ilefore showing what Gen. Ilovey's life work has been, it is proper to say that his vote in the Thoebe-Carlisle ca.se, according to the general belief of those acquainted with the tacts, was instigated by his hatred of Speaker Carlisle on account of not haviujf been appointed on any important committee, and was not influenced by any friendship or sympathy for Mr. Tlioebe; and it is also proper to say that Gen. IIovey is uot entitled to any credit "whatever for his acts cs administrator with the will annexed of the Maelure estate. He simply collected the money and disbursed it in the purchase of books for laboring men s institute?, as he was compelled by the will to do, and in addition to that he received very large fees for bis services, lie also required a complete record to be made of the estate and of all allowance to institutes, with copies of their constitutions, by-laws and lists of books: swelling the clerk's fees to a large sura; and he also required the institutes to employ lawyers and pay large fees and other unnecessarv expenses to obtain their allowances. If he had Riven his services and had saved the expenses of a complete record and of lawyers' fees and other unnecessary expenses, for the benefit of the institutes, he might be entitled to some credit as a benefactor of workiugnien. "A bad feature in the case is, that the decisions of the supreme court in the fifth volume of Indiana Reports, which are referred to as evidence of his wonderful achievements in winning the lawsuits which resulted in his great work as such administrator, have been all overrated by a subsequent decision in the thirtyfifth volume of Indiana Reports,' p. VJ'J, frhowins that the money which he collected, by the hi'ty suits referred to, from hard working farmers who had previously bought the Maelure lands in good faith, und who were compelled to pay for them a second time or lose tlieiu altogether, was wrongfully obtained. Certainly be is not entitled to any credit as a benefactor to those hardworking and much wronsed farmers. All of these tacts are fully proved by the record as a reference thereto will show. "Probably the friends of Gen. IIovey will leqrn in due time that the lcsg slid bout the Maelure estate the better it will be tr him. "What has been Geu. Ilovey's 'line of action,' as a part of 'his life work,' toward the laboring classes? "An fnvt'stigation of Gen. Ilovey's life work, as the 'poor man's friend,' so boastfully referred to by his indiscreet friends, will disclose the following facts: Gen. IIovey, after he became a voter, commenced his political life as a whig, with the repeated declarations of the following very proscriptive and uncharitable principles: (1) Thnt no man should be permitted to vote unless he was the owner of a certain amount of property. (2) That no man should be permitted to Tote who could not read and write. (3) That no foreigner should be allowed to vote until be liad resided in the United States for a period of twenty-one years. Some five or six reputable citizens of rosey county made allidavits that they had heard him make these declarations, which nliiduvits were circulated in hand bill form during the year 18-11, when he was the whig candidate for prosecuting attorney. Afterward, in 1654, when he was the democratic candidate for judge of the supreme court, copies of the hand-bills of 1844 were circulated, and nonie of the parties who had nude the original affidavits signed a certificate that they had not had anything to do with publishing the hand-bills of IH.4, but none of them ever certified that the hand-bills of 1841 were not true and correct These facts will not be denied. If they should be, they are susceptible of proof. "The next act of Gen. IIovey in hii life work as the 'poor man's friend' was when ho was a democratic member of the state constitutional convention and opposed, with great vehemence, the humane and charitable provisions of a homestead exemption in favor of the oppressed debtor and his helpless family. See convention debates, p. 774. "The next act in bis life work as the 'poor man's friend' was his cruel and prescriptive vote in the plate constitutional convention for a provision making it a crime for any negro to come into the state of Indiana and imposing heavy fines And penalties on any person giving employment to twh netrro. See convention journal, pp. '2, 707 and 7'iS. "The next act in his life-work, as the 'poor man's friend," was, during the war, when he was a republican and isoued his bigoted proscriptive order, as a military commauder, pgainst the jews ns a class, excluding them from his lines nnd denouncing them as mercenary spies, traitors, and blood-hounds of commerce. "The next net in his life-work, as the 'poor man's friend,' was after the war was over and he had returned from Peru, as a kind of nonpartisan free-trader, when, year after year, he bought for taxes, in large quantities, the real estate of helpless widows and orphans, as well ns of poor soldiers and other laboring men, compelling them to pay the exorbitant sums necessary to redeem their real estate, or taking it and quieting his title thereto by lawsuits brought for that purpose, all of which are matters of public record. "These arc a few salient points in the history of Gen. Ilovey's life work, as the 'poor man's friend," and now that he has become a candidate for governor and his indiscreet friends have invited an examination of his record it is proper to let the people know the facts. "In view of the premises, it seems somewhat strange and incomprehensible that the republican leaders of Indianapolis, after failing to secure Gov. Porter as a candidate for governor to strenethen Gen. Harrison where he wna the weakest, with the laboring classes, should aid in the nomination of Gen. IIovey. "The friendship; of Gen. IIovey for the poor man, like his Quixotic measures in congress for the su pposed relief of the soldier, entitles him to the appellation of Humbug IIovey, which has been given hlra. It is not a very dignified appellation, but nevertheless, it is very appropriate." One of Chase's Misstatements. To TnE Editor Sir: In a recent speech Ira J. Chase aaid, nubstantially: "That when a bill had recently been introduced in congress prohibiting the importation of foreign prisonmade goods, every man who voted against the bill was a democrat, and every man who voted for its passage was a republican." Did he state the facts? J. L. I Aue. 27. Xo, he did not. A bill of this kind has been IntroducetTin the house, but no vote has been taken on it. During the consideration of the Mills bill an amendment of this kind was offered and ruled out on a point of order, no vote being taken. An appeal was taken from the decision of the chair, holding that the amendment was not in order, and the demo

crats voted to sustain the ruling of the chair, which was clearly right under the rules of the house. See Congressional Record, page 5,163. The matter was not brought forward at the time in good faith, but was merely a partisan move for the purpose of obstructing the progress of the Mills bill.

A Genmne True-ltlue Democrat. To tiie Editor Sir: I am a German, nearly sixty-nine years of age, forty-six years in America. I take both purty papers. I know the action and.principle of both parties. Before the war we had only a few millionaires, now we can rount them by the dozens. Nearly all got rich by the sweat and blood of the poor laboring man. I was a Union man; a war democrat. I had a son in the Union army from the beginning to the end of the war. He M as severely wounded. As I know the difference between European and American jaw and government, I said then, and say yet : . . Tho Union foreTer, hurrah, bors, hurrah! lN.wn with oppression, up with the law; We'll rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, Shouting for Cleveland and 'Ihurinan.

Our oldest child, now six yr arc of age, when an Infant tlx ill on tlis old was attacked with a virulent, malignant fkia disease. All ordinary remedies failing, we called our family physician, who attempted to cere it; but it spread with almost incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the little fellow's person, from the middle of his back down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and malicious. We had no rest at sight no peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the Cutlcura Remedies. The effect was simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow's person as whit and healthy as though he had never been attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedy saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of tie disease baring ever occurred. GEO. B.
