There is a m?asure now pending before the congress of the United States known as the Wilson bill, which in its original purity promised tariff reform in accordance with the democratic platform and the tariff message of Grover Cleveland, president of the United States; and, "Whereas, There is a strong effort being made by certain moneyed classes against the laboring masses to defeat the tariff policy upon which the democracy was restored to power in congress and elected the president of the United States; therefore, te it "Resolved, By the democracy of Montgomery county, in convention assembled, that we as democrats are in favor of taking no steps backward on the question of tariff reform and we will hold our representatives to a strict accountability for any deviation from the principles of tariff reform as announced in the platform upon which drover Cleveland was elected president of the United States.

II -wa followed by Capt. W. It. Myers, who set the big crowd wild in a magnificent speech. Both speakers dwelt upon the Wilson bill and the hearty applause given this afforded 'unmistakable evidence that the democrats of Madison county are for tariff reform. The following was adopted with hearty acclamation: Whereas, The republican party has enacted or changed the tariff laws more than twenty times within the past thirty years, enlarging and Increasing the rates thereof on every and all occasions; and Whereas, The tariff law of 1330, known as the McKinley law, has brought disaster and ruin to the business interests of the country, shutting down, manufactories and reducing thousands of laboring men to beggary and want; and Whereas, The people in November, 1832, by a plurality of 1,000,000, demanded and' the business interests of the country today demand the immediate repeal of said McKinley law; therefore be It

son.-. the largest manufacturing cotinty in the gas belt of the state of Indiana, request, aye demand, that our senators and representatives pass the tariff reform bill, known as the Wilson bill, and that at once, and that no more concessions be made to special interests; and be it further Resolved, That our senators and representatives be hereby informed that the democrats of Madison county are ready to go to everlasting defeat, if necessary, on the principle of "tariff for revenue" rather than to uncertain victory upon the tariff for protection. The meeting was in many respects the most remarkable meeting ever held in Madison county. It was enthusiastic from start to finish and surprised republicans.' It showed that Madison county democrats are not terrorized by the cry of hard times now so vigorously used by calamity-howling republicans. ELKHART COIXTY.

Be COMFORTING FACT IS THE ART INSTINCT THAT PRCS AGED THE I'AllfS VALVE. Tli I ts Why We Have That Oraad Work of he Camera Jvnonn as Shepp's World's Fair Photographed" This Vole me. When Supplemented by "The White City br JlrnaU and l'wa," .Gives Von the Kpvftltion fa Aecurulc Details am' Lovely Colors. It is a very comforting fact that th art instinct in this country presaged thi value the great exposition would have to the American public and prepared to perpetuate it in faithfully executed pictures. This work was conscientiously done, and in "Shepp's World', Fair Photographed" we have a volume that is instinct with a wealth of outline and detail that is marvelous. It can be truthfully sail that the work is one which amply satisfies the minds of the most critical in all its parts. The views are done in that splendid way that have made the Shepps famous the world over, and the text descriptive of the buildings and exhibits is all that the most exacting can ask. No photographia work that may be put forth for the acceptance of the American people will have anything like the merit of this splendid volume of more than D00 pages and nearly UtiO views taken by the best experts with the camera in the world. It has the further merit of being officially ir.dorsFKl by the world's fair man-agt-ment as the lest and only authorized series of photographic views in existence. This is buttrfSSvid by the opinion, in newspapers in all parts cf the country, whose editors unhesitatingly yield it the palm in every respect. Some of them single out special views as works that are phenomenally fine specimens of the photographic art and recommend the book to their readers as the very befit memorial volume of the fair that liaj been brought to their attention. This is high praise, for the country is absolutely Hooded with I hotographia souvenirs of the exposition, and newspaper people have had cart loads of them dumied ui.n their tables for inspection. The "Acadian Record," of Halifax, N. S.. calls it "a book not only for the present, but for the generations to come." Th True American in speaking of it says: "We are doing cur readers and the public a sen-ice by calling their attention to it." A voke from the Mississippi river from the office of the Davenport, la., Democrat, exclaims: "Months of reading wll not give so Intelligent an idea of the beauty ajid vastnets of th world's fair as this l-ook." The Philadelphia Item considers it "an immensely valuable and important souvenir of the greatest exposition the world ever held," and the Milwaukee Sun concedes that "everv detail of the work is the best." The Saginaw, Mich., Evening News thinks it "is by far the best book pertaining to the Columbian exposition." Senator Teller of Colorado thinks "It is certainly a boautiful souvenir of the fair and a splendid specimen of the art preservative." Senator Daniels of Virginia prizes his volume "very highly" and says "the book Is a work of art." while Governor MacCorkle of West Virginia deems "the volume worthy a place In every first-class library." Ex-President Harrison has a copy of this splendid book, and so have Thomas A, Edison, the electrical wizard, Secretary Gresham and many other men of prominence and who know a good thing in art when they see it. Mgr. Satolli, St. Fc tor's ablegate to the United States, writes: "Shepp's World's Fair Photographed" is an elegant volume of official photographs of the Columbian exposition. The artlstla execution of the views, and the neatness of the work of the printer and binder deserve great praise, and would reflect the highest credit on any similar undertaking in Europe."
