THE ISSUES

What the People of Indiana Will Ba Called Upon to Decide on Tuesday. November 8. »l //'•- ■ - '‘ J The issues In this campaign have not tyeen manufactured, but have come to the people as a natural outgrowth of Republican policies. The Democratic has met them freely and has taken the side of the people against corporate power where that power has been exercised to the injury of the masses, and, now that the vote is about to be cast and another verdict rendered, every thinking man should ealmly and honestly review the facts presented in the campaign and reach a conclusion that will be his Justification for the manner In which hts suffrage Is cast. When one stops to consider that the elective franchise is of all franchises the most important and that when his vote is cast it should represent the highest of human ideals, the suffrage becomes the best and dearest privilege that he enjoys, and as such should not be lightly esteemed. Some of the questions which the Intelligent voter, the true patriot, should ask himself before entering the polling booth are found in the following: Shall this country be ruled by a President who has traduced its statesmen, bullied its distinguished Generals and advanced an underling to the highest of military positions, ignoring the constitution and setting the law at defiance, or shall it elect a man who will bring the government back to its honored position as a peace-loving na- , tion, proud o. its past and glorified by the example of liberty which it has set to the world? Shall corruption continue in the executive departments of the government, men in high places be protected from the just consequences of their corrupt acts and Congress refuse to Investigate and lay the facts before the people, or shall a congress be chosen that will probe all corruption, wherever it exists, to the bottom and thus justify the confidence reposed In it by the people? Shall constitutional government be denied to the Filipino people on the specious pretext that they are not prepared for independence and an example of tyranny set abroad to be later invoked at home, or shall the American people, following the theory of their honored fathers and carrying Into practice their noble examples, make the American flag the symbol of liberty wherever it floats and thus loved and honored rather than feared and hated by these unfortunate people? Shall the trusts continue to prey upon the people of this country through license given by a national administration, eating up the hardearned substance of the poor, trampling into the dust the laboringman and his family, and growing richer and more arrogant each year because of contributions to the Republican campaign fund, or shall they be bridled by the law. their Iniquitous combinations broken up and competition with all its benefits to the consumer restored ? Shall the Dingley tariff law continue to rob the people and feed the corporations by enabling them to sell in foreign countries the products of American labor at prices lower than Americans can buy them at home, or shall these tariff charges be reduced to the actual needs of the government for revenue, thus putting the manufacturer, the fanner, the tradesman, the laborer, all upon that equal basis that w’as designed by the framers of the government? Shall the ship subsidy bill, which once passed the senate, but which has been permitted to lie dormant because of the nearness of a national campaign, be revived and the people robbed of uieir substance to enrich owners of steamships, or shall the merchant marine stand upon its own merits as the individual must stand when he goes out to make his own way in the world? These are a few of the questions which every intelligent voter should ask himself when he enters the polling booth and receives frOm the election officers the official ballot on which are printed the lists of Presidential electors. Then, turning to the state, congressional and legislative ballot, might with profit ask himself these questions: .Shall the legislature be again Republican In the face of the fact that every session in which It had a majority has increased the expenses out of all proportion to the benefits received by the people, or shall It be controlled by a Democratic majority that has always kept expenses down to the minimum and at the same time has enacted every law of importance that is now on the statute books, including the new tax law, the schoolbook law, the sinking fund law, the Australian ballot law and many others whose benefits the people now enjoy? Shall the state of Indiana be longer represented In the United States senate by men who have voted for the ship subsidy bill, who have favored the trusts and defended them openly whenever they dared, who are In favor of perpetuating the tariff and who are notoriously not in sympathy with the people whom they thus misrepresent, or shall they be displaced by conscientious guardians of the public weal, men who have proved themselves both honest and fearless in the discharge of duty? Shall a state board of tax commissioners which has increased the assessments on farm lands and form laßd Improvements $27,090,000 and re-

duced the‘assessments on corporations. $16,000,000, be indorsed at the polls and continued in office, or shall there be a return to the original purposes i of the law which were to make corporations bear their just proportion of the burdens of taxation and in which spirit the Isw was administered by the Democrats till the Republicans came Into power? The man who esteems his suffrage lightly, who Is controlled by prejudice rather than principle, who is a Republican because someone else is a Republican. whose ideas of existence are comprised in mere meat and drink and clothing for the body, may turn away from these questions as he would from hnything that would evoke a serious thought, but the man who loves hl& country, who despises wrong regardless of Its source and loves and recognizes right and defends it against whomsoever would debase it. who standß for high ideals in citizenship, in government, in law, should take them and ponder on them, for they represent in part the issues of a campaign whose result on November 8 may mark a new era either for good or bad in our country.

FAIRBANKS AND THE JOURNAL.

When the Indianapolis Journal was absorbed by the Star and its publication discontinued, Republicans over the state were very indignant over the sale and Senator Fairbanks, who was known to be interested In the Journal, was roundly abused for selling out the party. He caused it to be circulated by his friends that he had nothing to do with the sale of the organ. and thus the whole blame was shifted to the shoulders of Charles R. Henry, who was associated with Fairbanks and who was actively engaged in publishing the paper. It develops that Mr. Henry has written a history of the deal in which he charges that he had very little stock in the paper and that Senator Fairbanks was the principal owner; that, when it was found that the paper was losing money in its competition with the Star, he advised that money be put into it and a fight made for its lost prestige; that Fairbanks refused to spend any more money oq it and opened negotiations with George F. McCulloch, through which the transfer of the paper was finally accomplished. W r hen it became known that Henry had written such a statement and proposed giving it to the press, Republicans besieged him on all sides and begged him to withhold it till after the election'. It was urged that, while the facts as he stated them were true, Fairbanks would be injured if publicity were given them, and he finally consented to hold the matter in abeyance till after the election. Thus, while Fairbanks is posing as the man who tried to save the paper to the party, Henry is regarded as the real betrayer of the party, and.the man who deprived it of an organ on the eve of an important campaign.

More Prosperity.

Steel workers employed in the rail and sheet departments of the Illinois Steel company’s plant at South Chicago have been notified that when the present agreement expires. January 1 next, it will not be renewed. The workmen understand this to mean that they will be asked to accept the same I reduction in wages and the same ; lengthening of hours as were recently ! enforced in the company’s plant at Joliet. The Joliet steel workers acI cepted a cut of 15 to 43 per cent in wages and the work day was lengthened about two hours. Nearly 4,000 men will be affected at South Chicago. j No one supposed that Fairbanks and Beveridge would prove to be the drawing cards that Mr. Bryan was when he : went over the territory which the two : Senators have traversed. Indeed, j there is little room for comparison beI tween them and him. Mr. Bryan rep- : resents the people, the Senators the J corporations; Mr. Bryan spoke as one ! of the masses, the two Senators speak as men having nothing in common j with them; Mr. Bryan was inspired hv j the justness of his cause, the two Sen- ! ators by fear of the weakness of j theirs; Mr. Bryan found the people in sympathy" with him and coming out | voluntarily to hear him, the two Senai tors know that the Republican state l central committee has chartered trains j to carry people to their meetings. I These are the differences found ■ in the tours of the representatives of the two parties, the one being a spontaneous uprising of the people and the other being an outing on the part of Republicans whose expenses are borne j by the state organization. It only remains for Democrats to ; do their •whole duty on election day to Insure the state for Judge Parker, and I for the state ticket and Democratic i control of the legislature on Joint bal- ; lot. Every help has been afforded by : the state and local organizations, and there is no question but the state will be Democratic if members of the party come out and vote. Do what the party organizations may, it still remains for the people on the final day to say what the result shall be. No Democrat should prove recreant on that day. Every vote should be polled and every honorable effort made to carry the state. Let there be no laggards. Let everyone vote and work as though the result depended upon him alone, and Indiana will be redeemed from Republican rule. ’•» We appeal to Senator Fairbanks to define his position on the ship subsidy bllL He voted for the measure, .but here we are at the close of the campaign and not a word has he said on the subject Have the people no rights in this campaign?

DON'TS.

: Don’t be late at the polls. Don’t go away early. ~,j Don’t let any man vote whose nameis not on your poll-book. Don’t forget that the Republican state tax board is trying to make the tax law odious. Don’t take any chances with voters. If they don’t come to the polls promptly, send after them. Don’t forget that Charles W. Fairbanks and Albert J. Beveridge voted for the ship subsidy bill. Don’t forget that your vote may he Important in determining the result In county, state and nation. Don’t forget that th€f Democratic party is depending upon you to do your whole duty on election day. Don’t forget that these are prosperous times only to me trust magnates who own the Republican party. Don’t appoint any but simon-pure Democrats to act aB watchers of the count on the night of the election. Don’t forget that November 8 will determine whether tyranny or the constitution shall rule in this country. Don’t let Republicans bulldoze you out of any of your rights. The law defines them and you should assert them courageously. Don’t stay away from the polls on election day, but vote early and remain to help your election officers in emergencies. Don’t fail, if election Judge or watcher, to scrutinize every ballot, and don’t take a Republican’s word for anything in counting the vote. Don’t forget that Governor Durbin has admitted that the payments on the state debt have all been made from money raised through a Democratic tax law. Don’t forget that the Republicans expect to vote negroes who are not legal residents of the state, and when such things are attempted stand squarely for the right. Don’t forget that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and that the Democrat appointed as watcher on the night of election should be a man wholly above suspicion. Don’t forget that Charles W. Fairbanks voted for the Dingley bill, which enables the trusts to sell their products abroad for less than they charge the home consumer. Don’t forget that a Republican board of state tax commissioners has increased the assessments on lands and improvements on lands $27,000,000 and reduced the assessments of corporations more than $16,000,000.

THE TRUSTS FOR ROOSEVELT.

Mr. Armour, the head of the beef trust, in an interview says: “We are going to support Mr. Roosevelt most emphatically. We have been satisfied with his administration, and will be well satisfied to have him continue iq office.” To be sure, Mr. Roosevelt is good enough for any trust. They are all satisfied with him and will support him most emphatically.

Protection for the Farmer?

The steel beam plow, for which the American farmer is asked $11.50, can be purchased in South Africa for $10.35, a difference of 11 per cent. The churn which the farmer uses, manufactured in Boston, costs him $2.47. In South Africa he could buy it for $2.00, 23 per cent less. A corn sheller, for which he pays $4 .20, can be bought at Cape Town for $3.50, a difference of 20 per Cent. The Boston corn planter, which sells here for sls. is sold to the South Africa farmer for sl3, a difference of 15 per cent. A fan mill, for which he pays $21.80, is sold to the farmers of South Africa for $17.60, a difference of 21 per cent. Cultivators, for which the farmer pays $4.90, bring only $4.20 in South Africa. 17 per cent under the price obtained here. A two-horse plow, for which in this country the farmer is asked $5.25, can be obtained by the farmer down in Cape Colony at $4.15, a difference of 25 per cent. Is there road work to be done, the farmer needs a heavy road plow. He pays for it $10.20. Roads in South Africa are made with the same plow, for which the owner pays $8.50, a difference of 20 per cent. The New England chilled two-horse plow, for which the American farmer pays $8.40, is sold to the farmer in South Africa for $7.90, a difference of 17 per cent. Rope, for which the farmer has much use, is sold at 11 cents per pound In South Africa, while 13 cents per pound is charged for it in New York state, where it is manufactured. The difference is 22 per cent. American-made axes and hatchets, which are sold in this country for $7.50 per dozen, can be purchased in South Africa for $6.75, a difference of 11 per cent. Crowbars, which sell here at the rate of 6 cents per pound, are sold in South Africa for five and four-tenths of a cent a pound, another difference of 11 per cent. Bhovels, which here cost $8.25 per doxen, can be purchased in South Africa for $7.25, again a difference of 11 per cent

FROM BRYAN’S COMMONER.

The gentlemen who complain that presidential campaigns unsettle business are finding difficulty in securing the proof this year. Republican leaders are explaining by saying that Mr. Roosevelt wrote those books long years before he ever entertained an idea of running forAhe presidency. Speaker Cannon’s touching reference to “Pilgrim’s Progress” seems to indicate that Uncle Joe has arrived at the “Slough of Despond” stage of the campaign. Of course Statistician Wright will not overlook the fact that on the day that dressed beef in Chicago went up 2 cents a pound the price of beer came down $2.50 a barrel. The outlook in Indiana and New York is such that Mr. Addicks grows more confident of being able to fix up a deal for Delaware with the managers of Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign. Of course those disgruntled Filipinos must understand tnat the expressed desire for peace has no connection with those who object to the g. o. p. policy, of imperialism. “From Lincoln to Roosevelt” Is the title of a pamphlet just Issued by the Republican national committee. The pamphlet is a short one, but the distance covered is immense, and down hill all the way.

It is reported that Mr. Cortelyou will succeed Mr. Payne as postmaster general. Mr. Cortelyou is much more successful as a successor than he w-as as a public official charged with the duty of investigating and prosecuting illegal trusts and combinations. The Topeka Herald says that “every strike settled before election is a blow to Democratic hopes of success. How about the packinghouse strike? The g. o. p. is welcome to all it can make out of that. Secretary Shaw couldn’t see a $41,000,000 deficit with a microscope, but he managed to see the little surplus of $6,000,000 with his naked eye at a distance of 1,800 miles. The g. o. p. optics always were in need of a firstclass oculist’s services. It is noticeable that the papers clamoring loudest for the policy of “teaching the people self-government” are also loudest in their support of the party whose policy is to let the trusts do all the governing in this country.

A POPULIST’S TRIBUTE.

William V. Allen, former United States senator from Nebraska, has given out a letter in which, while maintaining that he is still a Populist, he pays a high tribute to Judge Parker. He says he has studied Parker's legal opinions and has found him to be clear on the trust proposition and that he has been consistent throughout his judicial career, being able, conscientious and fearless. Senator Allen concludes his letter thus: “Thus it will be seen that, whatever may be said of Judge Parker’s poltical belief in the gold standard, his judicial opinion of the authority of the government to restrain monopolies and of the jurisdiction of the courts jo enforce anti-trust legislation is strong. Being the chief judge of the highest judicial tribunal of a state in which monopolies have their habitat, Judge Parker must possess a strong individuality and a pleasing personality to win the confidence of t#e people to the extent of intrusting him to administer this office. “A careful reading of other judicial utterances of Judge Parker in a great variety of cases which came before the court of which he was the presiding judge clearly demonstrates his capacity and fitness for judicial work. His writings are facile, clear, perspicuous, and his reasoning of undoubted soundness and along the lines of the best judicial thought of the country on the trust question. They are marked by method, candor and care, which manifest that while he is conservative and therefore safe, he as at the same time fearless in the discharge of duty. "Such a man, other things equal, is much preferable for an exalted and responsible public position to one who is a lover of guns and martial airs and given over to tinsel and spectacular display.”

No Constitution There.

Associate Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court caused a sensation in the International Congress of Lawyers and Jurists at the World’s Fair by saying regarding the Philippines: “The purchase w’hich this great exposition commemorates was not the result of conquest and came not as the result of war. A lawyer, not a soldier, made the transfer. The glory of the transfer is one of the laurels of our profession. “You can see twenty acres of Philippine life at the World’s Fair, but you cannot see a. square rod of the constitution. Perhaps it is because it has been judicially declared that there is no connection between the two.” John W. Foster, former Secretary of State, who followed Justice Brewer, declared that the navy Is too big. He said he hoped that the Secretary of the Navy had not made the statement attributed to him, that he wished to make the navy of the United States equal to the greatest. I went up and down your land four years ago as your candidate and in every speech I made I asserted that the question of imperialism was more important than the money question, —William Jennings Bryan.

PUBLIC SALES. If you contemplate having a public sale this season don’t forget that the place to get your bills printed is at The Democrat office. No office in the county gets out a more artistic or better bill than The Democrat, and our prices are as low as any office in the county. Coupled with this is the fact that a free notice of each sale is published in The Democrat, and “everyone reads The Democrat.” Such notice really does you more good and is read by more people than your bills. Remember the advantages of getting your bills printed at this office aud be sure to come here for them. Fruit Trouble*. The apple is attacked by at least six different species of fungi. Some of them utterly destroy, as the bitter rot and the ripe rot. Others disfigure, as the apple scab, which opens the road for the rots. All of them are avoided by early', frequent find judicious spraying. Among the worst of peach diseases is the yellows, the nature of which is not understood and the remedy not forthcoming. The same is true of the little peach. All that can be done is to educate tlie eye to detect the first symptoms and the will to destroy every affected tree. The Essential In Grass Growing. Harrowing is one great essential In preparing a seed bed for the tiny grass and ciover seed. The writer does not remember ever seeing timothy or clover sitting up on clods half the size of his fist making much progress toward a bay crop. Harrow and roharrow until the soil is like dust. Then and then only the seed bed is tit to yield a profitable crop.—J. It. Detrich.
