measure will soon be agreed upon, and thac it will be a great improvement on the senate till." Srnalp ShonltJ Heeede. Chris Stein "I think the house Is right. The senate should recede. We have promised raw material free. The letter is the right stuff." Albert Gall "The matter, I am confident. wl!l h? adjusted all right. Free raw material is what thoj people want. We promised it to them an 1 it is what they ought to have. The president's letter ia all right. With free raw material we can compete with the world." J. C. Shoemaker "I have no hesitation in s.iyingr tha: I favor the house bill in preference to the senate bill, as a whole. We want either in preference to the McKinley till. Free raw material, such as free c kx! and free iron and a straight tax en iuar, it necessary, 13 what I should like u J. 15. ilaynar.l "The senate's demand is in direct controvention with the democratic platform and It should recede from the position it Jias taken. Senator Hill's position on the pure tariff question is correct. ' A3 a private letter, that cf the president was all riarht, but it is Questionable, as a matter of prudence, whether or not it should have been made public. I think a mi! der means is- always much better In a close fight than the use of bulldozing tactics." A. M. Sweeney "I am with the house .-ong. The senate should recede. I am lined to believe there will be no bill. 'im president's letter was very excellent, very vigorous and well timed. The legislators needed a little heroic treatment." Attorney-Gen-rai Smith "My view have undergone no charge. I am for free coal, free iron, free sugar. I am a laboring man. and, therefore, do not want the clothes I wear taxed. Senator Hill is all right. He turned a double somersault and struck on his feet- The house cannot recede." Albert Sahm: "I am with Grover Cleveland in the tariff fight. I think the senate should recede from its position. The house bill is all right." St. George B. Rodgers: "The situation is assuredly a mo3t unfortunate one. It Is especially unfortunate for the reason that there is no probability of congress arriving at any final settlement of the question of tariff reform. I believe it would have been better if President Cleveland's letter had never been written. It has necessarily had the effect of blocking any reasonable compromise which might have been arrived at between the senate and house conferees and which would have led to something which would (at least in a measure) have satisfied the people that the democratic panises of tariff reform wre to be fulfilled." Samuel o. Pickens: "The president's letter, like his famous tariff message of .;, is admirable in purpose and ttate--iL Like all cf Mr. Cleveland's utterr :. j this 1 -tter Impresses everybody as ; convictions of an honest, courageous n. Every on? understands what be in?. Kven the callous senate is iinssed. Whatever the enemies of the ident may say the sentiments of this ; are in accord with all his utter- : upon The tariff question. -No one has closely followed Mr. Cleveland ten yea .3 believes for a moment i he counseled and advised a surer or compromise of the principle of - raw materials for which the party 1. '.s s strenously fo-ight, as Mr. Gorman and his co-eonspirators would have the roi'Ptry believe. And the country doesn't beMtve it either. The eftect of this letter Is to turn the search-light of the public upon th'js? in the senate who were on the y -i:u kK treacherously abandoning- the .ri":irial principle of tariff reform for which the party and the people have so i jng battled and on which they won the most decisive political triumph In 1S92 ever won by a political party in th country on a single issue. This letter again demonstrates that in Mr. Cleveland the people - have a champion of their Interests, who, whenever those interests are assailed, from whatever c.iurtrr. will not hesitate to strike although at the risk of the cry of 'unpre-ed-nte 1. The talk about the president having violated the constitution or In-wuh-d the province of the legislative branch of the government is the worst kinil of antiquated political rot." Edwin G. Farmer "I read 'the president's letter with much interest,, and while I believe it could have been written earlier with better effect it was nevertheless a characteristic expression on the part of the president of pure democratic doctrine and in the exciting difficulty should stand as a guide for honest democrats in congress in dealing with the question of tariff reform." Henry X. Spaan "Cleveland is right. The cry that his attempt to forestall the action of the senate was unconstitutional is simply the cry of senators who care more for form than they do for principle. If the senate fails to act properly tariff reform will only be postponed, not beaten. The voters are are with the president. He la a grand, courageous leader. Hurrah for Cleveland." Charles E. Cox "I believe fully in maintaining the independence of the different branches of our government. I think the system of checks and balances provided by such Independence constitutes an almost perfect government. But t also believe that the president should be in fact as well as in name the head and director of the government. I think the president's letter was proper, and though, perhaps, a little late, a vigorous discharge of a duty owing by him to his country and his party In a grave emergency for both." John W. K-allng "President Cleveland's letter to Chairman Wilson 6hould jneet with the hearty approval of every democrat. It is a ringing document and purely expresses ttfe feeling of nearly rvery democrat. In strong and unmistakable words it reiterates the pledges vt the Chicago platform. His characterization of t ie obstinate senators who have been folding up the Wilson bill fits the situation exactly. The people voted overwhelmingly for free raw material. They expect the party to rede.;n Its promises. To do otherwise would b-j party suicide. Gorman and his Toilov.ers are standing in their own light. The dA.o.afio party has no sympathy With trusts and will not tolerate legislation !n t.Vir behalf. The Cleveland idea Is bound to win. It is sound democracy. The people are with the president and Jiuse of representatives and will give them hearty and enthusiastic support." A (iood Letter, Franc's J. Reinhard "I consider President Cleveland's letter as plain, forcible and astute. It gives only additional and strong evidence that Mr. Cleveland Is a man of the people aad not the creature of corporations and trust. It shows with a clearness as bright as the midday sun that he will not uphold, on the part of the democracy in congress, a recreance to the pledges made to the people of the country in the Chicago platform in 132." Christian Brink "Mr. Cleveland, of all those who have filled the presidential chair, stands closer to the people. He baa demonstrated this in many ways and never so forcibly and opportunely as when he wrote this letter. It would have been better for the country, better for the people, better for the democratic parly If the senate had "been filled with men of Mr. Cleveland's caliber." Martin C. Anderson "JresLdent Cleveland is all right. He, with the democratic majority of the house, is on the side of the maws of the people and his letter was another declaration of that fact. Tariff reform must come and It will come In fulfillment of our party promises to the pople." Edward W. Little "In looking over the history of Mr. Cleveland's career as chief executive. I con find not one thing which more distinctly points to the magnlrlcent character of the man than does this much-discussed letter. Its utterances are those of a man whose manhood Is unassailable, whose democracy ix pure and whose citizenship 13 as solid as Gibraltar." Eudorus M. Johnson "The Cleveland letter is a second declaration of independence. It la an honst expression of

a man who knows no half-way methods when the interests of the masses are at stake." Edward C. Buskirk "Mr. Cleveland's letter Is as sound as a twenty-dollar gold piece. It simply Is an enunciation of the only position which the democratic party of this country can take. For strength and honesty of purpose I admire Senator Hill's defense of Mr. Cleveland, which stands right alongside of the president's letter." William Yerger "The president's letter was all right from beginning to end. Mr. Cleveland and the house of representatives are on the people's side of this tariff question and the democracy throughout the country must take a firm stand accordingly." Hiram Miller "I believe in living up to promises. Iam with Grover Cleveland and he stajids upon the Chicago platform. The senate ought to recede from its position. I do not believe in people saying what the result will be until it has been tried." S. P. Sheerin "I believe there will be some mutual concessions and that some bill will pass that will not tv as acceptable to democrats as the Wilson bill, but will be le?s objectionable than Ihz s?nat j bill. Personally. I prefer the Wilson bill." W. F. C. Golt "About all I care to say Is that everybody is now talking about Hill's speech. Everything else is in the background." Dr. Helm "I want to see the Wilson bill straight through. President Cleveland has taken the correct stand. Hill's position shows that he appreciates the situation." J. J. Bingham "The democrats fought for tariff reform. The people should be given what they voted for. The house bill comes nearer this than the measure the senate proposes." AdJL-Gen. Robblns "I am decidedly in favor of the -Vilson bill." Nathan Morris "I believe if the democrats want to place themselves In the most favorable light before the people and fulfill their pledges to the people they will pass the Wilson bill. Some kind of a bill must be passed and the Wilson bill is the best. The house should therefore not weaken." John W. Holtzman "The senate hould by all means listen to the business people, who unquestionably favor the Wilson bilL They are all with the house. The president's letter was timely and a very able presentation of the views of democracy. Mr. Hill's attitude i3 surprising, but very pleasing." John W. Murphy "The senate emphatically should recede from its position. I am in favor of the Wilson bill. President Cleveland is right. I have always had the utmost confidence In him." Allen W. Conduitt "I am with the house in the tariff fight. If it ia necessary I think the eenate should by all means recede. I would like to see a settlements and the Wilson bill is the one favored by the democrats who voted for tariff reform. The president's letter only emphasizes what we know to be his sentiments as to the tariff." Milton H. Daniels "I scarcely know what to think of the situation at Washington. In view of the pledges made to the people in the democratic platform of 1sj2 it cannot be denied that the senate has flown in the face of the party obligations to the people and proven false to a duty which was plaLn. The Wilson bill was a very wide step in the direction of a fulfillment of the party pledges and I have no fears that the house will recede from the position it has taken, and especially after the clear and forcible expression by the president of his views. The reform of the tariff is democratic, it is for the deepest good of the whole people, it Is right and therefore must prevail-" Jackson Landers "I am a democrat. I am always for a compromise and think this Is the best way to secure the passage of a tariff bill. The president's letter was an excellent one. Hill's position is the proper one and it is to be hoped that he will not Jump again." Sterling K. Holt "The letter written by the president was not only a magnificent piece of literature, but was a splendid expression of democratic doctrine couched in Just the right terms and promulgated at just the right tlm?; in short, it was Grover Cleveland in all its essence. It is manifestly the duty of the house of representatives to act on the lesson taught by Mr. Cleveland's letter and recede not an Inch from the position it has taken on the question of tariff reform. I believe that ultimately the reform of the tariff, as promised to the people in the democratic platform of 1832, will be brought about effectively and for the dearest interests of the entire people." Jerry S. Hall "The democracy of any man Is questionable who will not acknowledge the force of Mr. Cleveland's letter. It was brimming over with plain, common, everyday American sense and it came Just at the right time. There are democrats who have been elevated to the senate who have never before been compelled to show their hands. They have howled for tariff reform when they knew that tariff reform was impossible with a republican majority in the senate. Now that it was made necessary that they should declare themselves, they are found making a stand in the senate as democrats in name only, but in reality as high tari.T republicans and affiliating with corporations and trusts as against the interests of the masses of the people for whom the reduction of the tariff on raw materials has become a necessity which, sooner or later, by a democratic or republican congress, will have to be supplied or we will continue to have labor troubles In this country in comparison with which the recent upheaval will not be a marker." Gen. Kuntz "The Wilson bill as it left the house expresses the sentiment of the democratic platform and of the party at large. I believe that this bill or nothing ought to pass. There might, however, be a few concessions made, but none so glaring as those embodied in the senate bill. I believe the senate will concede to the house the right to fix the sugar schedule, but this is not enough and the concession ought not to be accepted as a compromise. Better defeat the bill and leave the tar;.ff question to a future congress than to compromise on principle. I want to express my gratification at seeing the position taken by Senator Hill. His -objection to the bill was the Income tax; he Is, however, a loyal man to the democratic platform and showed his true feeling in his recent speech." James Murdock "I etand with the president. Since he first entered national politics ha has never taken a position on a publlo question that was not right. He has often been In advance of his party, but his party has always come to his views finally and it can make-no mistake In following where he leads. As for the democratic United

If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels, thev would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangerous diifcases. That, of all known agents to accomplish this pur)Ose, Dr. llerce'a Pleasant hellrts are uneouailed, is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their aecondary effect is to keep the bowels open ami regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills. Kence, their preat popularity with sufferers from habitual oonstiriation, püss and indirection. States senators, I doubt if these are three who could go before the people and be elected to any office." C. C. Roth "I would like to see congress adjourn. The Wilson bill as it left the house ought to be passed, but if not that then something which is an improvement on the McKinley bill. But by all means let's quit talking and give the people to understand what It is to be." Charles II. Adam "The house should not recede from its position in the least. The Wilson bill is framed upon the Chicago platform, anil anything short of it would not be a fulfillment of the party's pledges to the people. I would rather see congress adjourn without having passed any tariff rather than see the house accept the senate bill." Henry Russe "The tariff question as it stands at present is a most unfortunate one. The uncertainty which has been felt all along since congress had it under consideration has affected business and I, as a business man, would like to see the matter settled. But still I could not favor the acceptance by the house of the monstrosity presented by the senate. It is with regret that I notice that a few black sheep, who have gotten high in the ranks of the democratic party, should place the party in such a predicament." S. Ii. Corbaley "I am opposed to all trusts, but do not want to dictate to the makers of tariff laws." Judge H. Burns "I think the democratic senators who are fighting the passage of the Wilson bill deserve the severest denunciation of the people, but that it will be better for the interest of the country and the democratic party if some tariff bill can be pass-d that will materially lessen the tax below the McKinley bill rates." Henry F. llabeny "I think the senate should recede and accept the house bill." T. J. Riley "I am in favor of the house accepting the best possible compromise it can get from the senate" K. T. J. Jordan "I believe the house should not recede from the Wilson bill. The democratic party should perform all that it promised. Failing In this the responsibility should be placed where it belongs. I am opposed to trusts dictating legislation." THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Interviews ivllh Prominent Persona In Various Pnrt of Indiana. The following circular letter was sent to Sentinel correspondents throughout the state a day or two since: "EDITORIAL, ROOMS. "INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, "INDIANAPOLIS. July 25, 1S91: "Dear SI:? Please send immediately interviews with democrats on the merits of the tariff controversy between President Cleveland and the house'on the one hand and the senate on the other. Do not confine yourself to officeholders and office-seekers, but talk a'.so with merchants, mechanics, farmers, professional men, laborers and all classes. See as many people as possible and give what they say in the fewest possible words. The question is: Should the hou,se or the senate yield? Yours very truly, "THE SENTINEL." The following answers have been received: DEJIOCKATS A UNIT. Onlnlonn of the Controversy an Gathered la Terrc Haate. TER RE HAUTE. July 27. Special. The democrats of Terre Haute are a unit on the tariff controversy between the house and President Cleveland on the one hand and the senate on the other. They are for the Wilson bill first, last and all the time and refuse to entertain any idea of an abandonment of democratic principles as embodied, as far as could be done at this time, in the Wilson bill. If the senate measure has any supporters here among Terre Haute democrats they were not discovered today among those seen by The Sentinel correspondent. The democrats Interviewed were all prominent ones and fairly represent the prevailing sentiment here. William C. Ball, editor of the Gazette, who is admittedly the leader of the tariff reform element here, said: "I am a supporter of the Wilson bill and against the senate measure. President Cleveland's letter to Chairman Wilson has the right ring, and I hope the house democrats will make a stand for democratic principles and that their conferees will be able to secure the passage of the Wilson bill, as it is in line with the established policy of the party and the democratic platform on which Mr. Cleveland was elected." K. H. Bindley, wholesale druggist "I would rather see the whole tariff legislation of this session fall to the ground or go by default than to see the party abandon its fight for free raw materials. The party had better be responsible for no tariff legislation at all than to compromise with the senate. I would personally rather see the income tax feature abandoned than abandon the principle of free raw materials, although I favor the Income tax. We have been preaching the doctrine of free raw materials for years and the party ia committed to that doctrine. The delay of the senate In passing the Wilson bill has greatly injured the business Interests and disgusted the people generally. The Wilson bill comes nearer being true democratic doctrine and should be passed." Judy Thorman, clothier "Of course all Indiana democrats favor the Wilson bill. I haven't heard anybody In this section who thinks the senate bill should be passed. Cleveland Is right and the democrats of Indiana will support him." J. T. H. Miller, clothier "The senate should have passed the Wilson bill months ago. Business has been affected greatly by the uncertainty growing out of this senseless and damaging senate delay. By all means the senate stiould pass the Wilson bill at once, adjourn and go home so that the country could adjust Itself to the new order of things. I think you will find sentiment here wholly against the senate and that democrats are generally disgusted at the senatorial display of fixing up a tariff bill so as to suit each senator who happened to have some local interests affected." A. Z. Foster, furniture dealer, is Stiongly In favor of the Wilson bill and thinks the senate's action reprehensible. James M. Holten, farmer "Why, I hadn't heard of a democrat who Isn't for the Wilson bill first, last and all the time. The democrats are a unit on the question." Jacob Kern, Jeweler "Which bill do I favor? Why, the Wilson bill, of course. No democrat In thla aeotion

wants the eenate bill. If the senate bill becomes a law we cannot face the people. We cannot abandon democratic principles in such a fashion as this." I. K. Clatfelter. shoe dealer "The Wilson bill should become the law. It may be imperfect in some respects, but it is nearer what i right than anything else. Our salvation rests in passing the Wilson bill." A. G. Austin, hardware dealer "In the first place prompt action is needed. The country has suffered enough already from senatorial delay. The house acted promptly and deserves the support of all democrats. The Wilson bill may not be as radical as some democrats wish it. and Ijjoo radical to suit others, but democrats generally favor it in this section and wish it enacted into a law." Gustave Conzman, cashier Vigo county national bank "Cleveland's letter suits me exactly. I think he is right and I think the house is right, and I believe the sooner the Wilson bill is enacted into a law the better frr the democratic party. The senate bill has no supporters here among democrats that I have heard of." V. G. Diokhout. trunk dealer "I am a disgusted democrat disgusted all around, but doubly disgusted with the senate than with Mr. Cleveland nd the house. The senate has condemned itself with me. The members have said to each other: You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. That's the kind of a tariff bill they have framed. We were out of power so long that we thought surely we would redeem our pledges and give the country a tariff bill that would Insure prosperity to the country, but I'm so disgusted I can hardly express my condemnation of the senate. Their delay in handling this matter is lUtle fhort of criminal." Albert II1I. real estate agent "The Wilson bill should have teen passed six months ago, then all would have been well. In the present business depression I hardly know what ought tobe done, as the senate has hurt business so badly already by its inaction that it requires skillful handling now to prevent the country from going from bad to worse." Thomas Ryan, farmer "There is only one sentiment out our way among democrats and that is that ' the Wilson bill is the measure for the democrats to pass-" Judge John C. Robir.son, lawyer "Indiana democrats answer in Just one way and that way Is that the Wilson bi'.l is much more satisfactory and the party would be In a much better position to pass it." Dr. W. II. Roberts "The senate has disgrace"d Itself by its Inaction. What would have met democratic hopes would have been to have p.i?ed the Wilson bill long ago. It Is not too lat to do it rw, but much damage has already been done by the uncertainty business Interests have had to contend with. Cleveland's letter hits the nail squarely on the head." Frank Skelton, railroad employe, prominent officer of the Jackson club, favors the Wilson bill strongly ns against the senate bill. FOR THE WILSON HILL.

The president's letter was right and ought to have been published sooner." William J. Gaebler, deputy postmaster "Yes, I am for the Wilson bill straight. The senate should yield. We would better go Into the fall campaign without any bill than to father the house bill as amended by the senate. Mr. Cleveland's letter was right." D. M. Carlisle, stave and heading dealer, farmer and merchant "I thing the house and president are right all the time. The senate should yield, and If It -wants to please me It will. Yes, the president's letter is right. Yes, sir!" A. J. McAllster, general business "Yes, nir! I think the Wilson bllF ia right and the senate ought to yield. Yes, sir! Yes, sir! The house ought not to give an Inch, sir. No, sir! Was the president's letter right? Why. of course, It was. Yes, yes. It, was right. He came down on the senators pretty hard, but then they deserved It and only got what they needed." F. M. Scott, furniture dealer "Why, I think the senate ought to yield, of course, and If I were In the house I would stay there until the senate did yield. Of oourse the president's letter Is rljcht." Samuel Spencer, liveryman "I am for the Wilson, bill. I think the senate ought to yield. The president was right when he wrote his letter." Daniel Chesser, teamster "The senate should get out of the way and let the Wilson bill pass. The party cannot afford to go back on Its promises, and, besides, the bill Is right. I never read the president's letter, but If It Indorsed the Wilson bill and scored the senators who tried to change it the letter must be rljrht." V. M. Bryant, Justice of the peace "The senate should yield. The president's letter was right." II. H. Bice, farmer "I believe in the Wilson bill as It came from the house and the president ought to keep them thr until they pass K that way. Th

. senate should yield. The president did

right when he wrote the letter to Mr. Wilson." Z. E. Newkirk, laborer "I think the Wilson bill as it came from the house is right and the senate should let it pass that way. Yes, Cleveland's letter was right, and Grover Cleveland will do right every time if they'll let him, and don't you forget it." Z. T. Overman, merchant "I think the Wilson bill as it came from the house is right and the senate ought to yield. I think we ought to have free sugar, however. I think the president ought to veto the senate bill if it passes. The president's letter was entirely right." James B. Thompson, painter "I think the senate ought to yield. Yes, I think the letter was right. I approved It as soon as I read it. Marvin Case, farmer "The senate should yield to the house and let the Wilson bill pass. I would like to see about a cent a pound tax on sugar because that article can stand It and the tax would go into the government treasury. I believe with Mr. Cleveland that it is a legitimate subject of taxation. The president's letter was right." George Miller, bank clerk "The senate should yield. The president's letter was right." Prof. C. E. VInzant. county superintendent of public instruction "I think the time has come when the senate should yield. Yes. the president's letter was right. His grounds were well taken." Time would not allow me to see more persons, but I believe the foregoing expresses the almost universal sentiment j of the county. All of the above were very earnest and were very bitter In their denunciations of Gorman, Brice, Smith et al. THE SENATE SHOULD YIELD. I.ngrnnnpnrt Democrat Tnlk and Alno .Some Fw Hepatillean.

When these senators are chosen directly by the people, as I believe they ought to be. they will heed the wishes cf the people a little more." Charles P. Drummond. lawyer "Certain senators have said that no man I? higher than his party. Yet with what consistency do they kep the whole country in a stat? nf business blockad? They owe th ir ability to pass any kind of democratic measure to the promise made that protection should be an incident to and a means of revenue. They now seek to protect the peculiar Interests, of their respective states, thus surrendering and pacrincltig the cardinal principle upon which they were elected. The house and the president are with the people the senate is renegade to both. Democratic senators should either be true to the whole party and country, or change their seats to the other side of the chamber. A man who believes that coal should be protected, for protection's s- e, is a republican." Ci. 11.

It his uitugeiher too much. The house a:id president are right." John W. Ric'rcd "I understand the democratic do.-trine to b- that the McKinley bill should be wiped out and something bett;r put in its stead. To my mind the senate bill does not refTvond to this Mj.i.
