KedD THIS, Read and weigh every linepublished in this supplement. It has been produced with a particular regard to accuracy and its statements may be fully relied upon. : , : . It is hoped that some of the appalling facts set forth may cause some republicans, who love their families and their country’s gnod above party, to think well before they again give their support to a system which means Inpvitable ruin to our farmers; degradaHon to our laborers; a renewal of sectional hatred among our whole people and the imposition of a system of wicked, wanton taxation upon the toiling masses. lead it carefully, article after arti. ‘cle, line after line; study it; use its arguments with your republican friends and then give it to some friend to read, : TPR R R Indiana Will Go Republican Unless : Democrats Do Their Duaty. The present contest in Indiana is one of vital importance to the whole people. While this is measurably true of all general strugglesfor principle, the cenflict now being waged is especially so, because, first, there is a U. 8. senator to be elected, and second, because the state is to be reapportioned for congressional and legislative purposes. Aside from the vast amount of legislation to be accomplished these questions are of vital moment. If the democrats are defeated in this contest the state will go into republican hands to remain perhaps for twenty years to come. The two things most important now are, first, to get out the vote, and second, to teach the voter how to mark and deposit his ballot.

Every man interestad in the cause has something to do and unless prompt effort fge made Indiana will be lost. These words are written advisedly and plainly, Democrats make a fatal mistake in feeling that

we are secure without a struggle. The Dudley-Quay-Clarkson. combina~ tion, liberally aided by the beneficiaries of the McKinley monstrosity, are arranging to throw all their strength and stratagem into Indiana. They must be met and defeated. ; Perfect polls should be taken in every precinct; every doubtful voter who can be honorably persuaded to vote the democratic ticket, should be seen at once. Local advisory committees of ten or more in each of the several precincts should be formed and meetings held frequently until the day of election. Fach man, whether 8 member of the committee or net, should go. to work. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty;” and organization, quick, close and universal, is the only thing now which can save the calamity of & republican victory. Indiana is against the tariff robbers; against the force bill; opposed to the centralization of power; dissatisfied with the administration and the republican policy generally, In short Indiana is democratic, but only so when the party is aroused, organized and at the polls.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS

After Passing the McKinley Ontrage.

The first session of the fifty-first c¢ongress closed Oct. 1. Its record is one of most brutal indifference to constitutional rights and popular interests. The force bill iniquity, elsewhere given in all its enormity, and the McKinley high-tax-robber-tariff bill are among its mest terrible examples of damnable legislation,

The force bill, in effect, takes all power of pbpular election from the people and puts it absolutely in the hands of the aristocratic money power of the country. The McKinley bill raises the average tax on necessities from 47 to 80 per cent, Inquire how to fix your ballot. :

Leave your lead pencils at home,

Bury the tariff robber deep, deep, deep.

Vote for Green Smith, th ! fiiond. i B 0 ey

Every democrat will recognize the Yrooster.”

The way to vote is to vote the straight democratic ticket. 2

Vote your judgment; partisan hatred does not pay mortgages, :

A vote for the democratic ticket is a vote against the tariff robber,

Btamp the little square eopposite the head of the ticket you wish te vote.

A “rooster’”’ is the democrat emblem and is at the tep of every democratic ballot. :

The safe way is to vote thestraight ticket, No demoerat can afford this year to gcrateh, {4

The man who seratches and fails te get it right may lose his whole ticket. The safe way is te vote straight. ‘

Stamp the little n%uare o;;pdlito the heading “Demoeratic Ticket” and let it go in. Don't fool about scratching.

Bee your ceunty enairman, who has or will have samples of the new election ballot, and learn exactly how to vote, .

If you are in doubt about how to stamp yeour ticket, inquire of your county chairman, the judge or yeur precinct committeeman. The tariff robber is on trial; the con. Bumers are jurors; the testimony of hig fuflt is conclusive. Let a speedy conviction follow. : Have youn talked with your intimate friends aboat hew they are goinf to vote? 1 not, find out immediately, and let your: committeeman knew, Gl : If the immense sum secured from the people through tariff taxes were raised b direct taxation instead, the Imny whieg maintains such a system of in quitg would be swept from the face of the eart . 2 e e e e s e e Mg Demoeratic success depends upen democratic Gbgfly.

\ e STATE TICKET Nominated By The Demoorats—Szetohes of : . tv Men, ' JOSEPH A. 8, MITCHELL, Judge Joseph A. S Mitchell, the gentleman whe received the high compliment of A 1 ananimous renomination to the effice of supreme judge, which he has so ably filled for the past six years, is a native of Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood, and after receiving an edacation in one of the best colleges in the Fast, entered upon the study ot law, and when admitted to practice was recognized as one of the brightest young attorneys in that state. He came to Indiana just before the war, and when a call was made for velunteers he enlisted in a cavalry regimemt and served nearly four years, during which time he was promoted to the rank of captain of cavalry for gallantry in action. Upon his return from the army he resumed the praciice o his profession, and has ever since held a high position among his associates, whe esteem him not alone for his wide kngwledge of the law, but for his many excellent traits of character. He was married soon after the war to Miss Jeliries, dunghter of a prominent citizen of Geshen and of the state. He never aspired to political preferment, but in 1884, when the democracy of Indiana sought a man who weuld’ gll the position of supreme judge with credit te the state and honor to his party, it instinctively turned to him, and that he has proven himself all they thought him to be, is evidenced in his renomination. A preminent republican politician and attorney of Kokomo, Judge Blacklidge, speaking of him, said: *There is & man whom I consider embodies ali that is honorable in a man and politician. No dilierence what inay be the nature of the case it becomes his duty to pass upon, whether political or otherwise, his decisions have always been fair and just, in accordance with the best construction of the law.”

CLAUDE MATTHEWS, Farmer Ciaude Matthews of Vermillion county, the democr‘agic nominee for secretary of stats, was bofn in Bath county, Kentucky, Dec. 14,1845, and is theraiore in his lorty-fiith year. In our sister state of the Qouth Mr. Matthews was reared a farmer, though at an early age he was sent to Center college, the university of Kentacky, from which he graduated inlB6B. Mrs, Matthews waa the only child of Gov. Whitcomb. They moved to Vermillion county in 1869, and immediately toek up the occupation of farming, which he has “actively followed ever since. In the fall of 1877 he was elected to the state legislature, overcoming a large republican majority and having the henor of being the first democrat elected from that county. Again in 1882 Mr. Matthews made the race for state senator when he succeeded in reducing the republican majority from 900 to 300. In 1880 he was a candidate for the nomination of the, office of lieutenant-governor, but was canipelied to give way in the demand for Gray. He has been & life-long democrat and farmer and his neminatien as a candidate en the state ticket is due to those facts, Fe issa fluent speaker and a cordial man to all who know him and is undoubtediy a popular man in both these respects. He is prominentiy connected wfth the Farmers’ alliance movement, being president of that organization in his own ceunty. His interests and sympathies are in full accard with the farmers of the state, whoze true friend he is and always has been. Mr. Matthews is a pleasing and fluent speaker, and feals confident that tho referms sought ior by his peopie can be best and quickest obtained through the demeocraic party. : ; JONN €. HENDERSON., John Oscar Henderson of Kokeme, the .nominee for auditor ef state, was born in Howard county forty years age. He received his primary educatien in the public - Bchools of Kokome., After finishing the high school course there he entered DePauw university, from which institution he graduated in 1872. Upon leaving college he returned to Kokomo and at ence adopted journalism as his choesen profession, and in which he has been actively engaged up to the present time. Mr. Henderson is now editor and proprieter of the ‘Kokomo Disputch. a democratie journal of recognized ability and inftlence all ever the state, He has always baken an aetive working interest in pelitics, and has done a great deal for the success of democracy in state politiess. Deserved honers have shewered about Mr. Hemderson without ‘ceasin% for a number of vears. He haa been chairman of the demecratic cemtral committee of Howard county for years, and is now a member of the execitive committee of the demeocratic state committee, He is an ex-president of the democratic editerial association of Indiana, and in 1885 was appointod internal revenue cellector for the Eleventh district by President Cleveland and heid the office until it passed out of existence, in 1857. Mr. Henderson’s nome relations are very pleasant. He has a wife and three children. He is most sanguine of success for democracy in the coming election. ' ALBERT GALL. / The name of Albert Gall, though widely ‘known througheut the state, is alnost ~constantly beiore the eitizens of Indian~apolis and vicinity, in conmection with deeds and workings in the interest of the city and state. Preminent in affairs of t Indianapolls and feremest among her ; citizens, as he has made himself invaluable as a citizen and business man. Albert - Gall was born in Green Bay, Wis., in 1842, During the vear 1847 his father, Dr. A. D. Gall, removed his family to Indianapolis to reside, and from here in 1852 Dr. Gall - was sent to Antwerp as U. S. consul under ’ Pieree’s administration, remaining there there until 1858, having served twe years in Buchanan’s term. Albert Gall ‘went West to seek his fortune, going as far as Onlifornia, where he experienced those ups and downs that were common to the early settlers of that eeuntry. Mr. Gall came back to this etate in 1864, and went into the employ of J. and @. Krause, earpet and wall-paper dealors. It was but a shert time hefore the name of Albert Gall was placed as a &artaer in the firm’s title, ono of the -Krauses having sold his interest to his ewmploye. In this business Mr. Gall has prospered nutil his well-knewn house is ‘patrenized threugheut the state. Though the mame of Mr. Gall has frequently been mentioned by his friemds as a candidate for nemination te seversl public offieBs, he has always refused te accept a nemination, and as a candidate for treasurer of state he eame before his party in his first request fer favor er office. ie has been a democrat all his life and sinee 1860 has always been feund inthe demecratie ranks werking for the cause of the party and his friemds. As a member of the (gomm.mial club and the board of trade he has beem achive in the advancement of state and city interests. Past eminent eommander of the Raper commandery, knights tem:— larsia ene of thetitles of whieh he is proud. ‘He is also a member of several prominent German societies, : o GRERI SMITH, e The nemination ef the Hon. A. 6. Smith’ was highly gratifying to his friends, and will be hailed with great enthusiasm by ‘the democracy of tha state. His selection has been conceded gince the day that his ‘name was announced for the bigh office to born in Meggs county, Ohio, in the year &nd located at North Vernon, Jennings

county, where he still resides. Witheut relatives or friends, as a boy, be began life, and for years struggled along amidst many adversities, but through indemitable enerygy steadily ferged his way to the front, and ip 1870 was admitted to tne bar of his county, wher2 he has since continued in the practice of his profession. No lawyer of southern Indiana enjoys a higher reputation as a practitioner or has been a more thorough student of the law. As expressed yesterday by a professional iriend: ‘‘Green Smith makes as determined and intelligent a fight for a elient as ho dees fer his party, and few men in indiana win more hard legal battles than he.” :

As a democrat Mr. Smith has been actively and earnestly engaged in the success of bis party in every can‘hp’aign gince 1868, and has a wide and briliiant reputatien as 8 speaker. In 1884 he was elected as a state senator frem the counties of Jennings and Jacksen, running ahead of the ticket. In the senate he was made a member of the judiciary committ~e amd teek a very prominent part im the debates of that body. At the elose of the speeial session he was chesen by his celleagues as president of the senate. Owing to the resignation of (Gen. Manson as lieutemant-gov-ernor he suecceeded te the duties of that otfice and presided over the memorable session of 1887, which elected David Turpie to the U .S. senate. It was during that gession that Senator Smith showed himself to be an exceilent pariiamentarian and a democrat of unflinching courage and ability. Gov. Hill in a speech ence said: “In many of eur western states it takes a million deliars te elect a U. 8. senator, but in Indiana it only takes the courage and ability of Green Smith.” Honesty, energy and ability will characterize this grand demecrat in his tight for the ticket this fall. Mo one ceuld create greater enthusiasm er give the excellent ticket named greater strength. There are very few, if any, more effective speakers in Indiana. He is elogquent, siimple, direct, thoroughly informed, and : exceedingly convincing. Though never abusive of his opponents, he presents questions of public interest ‘with such force and clearness that he makes votes for his cause wherever he gees. He should speak in every county in the state. _ ANPREW M. SWEENEY, Andrew M. Sweeney of Jasper, Dubeis county, the nemines for clerk of the supreme court, is a native of Cincinnati, and is thirty-six years old. / His ear'y education wae obtained by surimounting difficultics that would have appalled a less zealous youth. His father was a centractor, and at a_very early age young Sweeney was put to werk driving a cart fer a railroad censtruction cempany. Not until he had arrived at the sage eof fifteen did he obtain the first rudiments of an education, He rapidly acquired a thirst for knowledge, and pgoing te Illinois he entered a private scheel at Teutopelisin 1884, where ke remained three years, evincing great preficiency in the elassics. After leaving Teutepolis he spent a |year in Bt. Meinard’s eoilege, Speneer ‘eounty, Indiana, graduating therefrom in the classical course. Mr. Sweeney’s taste for the clasgics has earmed him anfenviable reputatiom a 8 a linguist. He speaks high and low German, Fremch and Irigh, as well as the English language and has a classieal know!edge of Latin and Greek. After teachingone year in the ungraded schools of Dubeis ceunty he was chesen principal of the Jasper high sehoel in 1874 and held that pesition for the succeeding seven vears, later being meminated and defeated in 1886 with the rest of the ticket in the race fer state superintendent of public instruetien. In 1831 he was eiected superintendent of the Dubeis county scheols and served in that capaeity for eight years. One year ago Mr. SBweeney began the practice of law im Jasper in partnerskip with John L. Bretz, the Secend district’s. neminee for eengress. He has beem actively engaged in politios since 1876, and has dene smuch in aid of the demeocratie party. In 1878 he married Misg kelen E. Knebler of Jaeper, and has three children—boys—exch of whom he thinks is a premising demeocrat. Mr. Bweeneyv thinks the political outlook is of the best, and that Ee, as well as the rest of the ticket, will be elected in Nevember, ;

HARVEY B, VORIES,

Harvey D. Veories of Franklin, Johnson county, the nominee for superintendent of public instruction, is a native Hoosier and a gelf-made man. He was born en a farm in Johnsen géunty Aug. 27, 1835, and reeeived his early education at district scheols, working threugh the summer months at farm and raiiroad work. At the age of nineteen voung Veries, through his own indomitable efiorts, entered Valparaiso normal college and after five years of hard study graduated in 1880 in the scientific and classieal courses of that instiiution. Bhertly after leaving college he was appointed superintendent of the Trafalgar publie schoois and served in that capacity so faithfully that he was soon called toassume the superintendeney of the Frank!in eity schools, In 1885 he was clected superintendent of Jobnson cennty schools and has held that office continuous'y untilithe present time. Mr. Vories is a thorough educater, having had experience in all branches of schoo! work and is in every way amply qualified to fill the pesition he will undeubtedly be elected to assnme next Nevember. Mr. Vories is confident not only of his own election, but of the entire democratic ticket nominated. Heis a handeome man just entering the prime of life, and his wife, a charming weman, who toek a lively interest in her husband’s canvass, helped to entertain visitors about headguarters.

PROF. 8. B, GORBY,

Nominated for state geologist, is a native of Dearborn ceunty, and is abeut fifty years of age. Inr 1887 he became assistant te State Geologist Maurice Thompson. Two vears later, upon the resigmation ef Thoempson, Prof. Gerby was appeinted state peologist by Gov. Gray, and he was subsequently elected by the legisiature. He has brought the experience and study ef a life-time to the duties of this office, and in @ few years, has given it a greatlyincreased prominence and impertance among the scientists of the eountry.

W, .A. PEFELLE, Nowminee for chie! of the bureau of statistios, was bern in Wayme eounty in June, 1845, When fifteen years of age, the Peello family settled in Rundo!ph county. In 1874 he was chosen by the glon. J. é. Neff to be assistant secretary of state. He was deputy, also, to the Hon. J. G. Shanklin, secretary of state. In 1883 he was elected chief of the bureau of statistics by the legisiature, and was re-elected in 1885, In 1887 there was no eleotion, but he held over, and in 1889 the legisiature selected him te sueesed himself as chief of the bureau. The supreme eourt, however, by a three to two decision, concluded that he had no right te the otfice, and that it must be filled ,by popular election. “Billy” Peelie is. kmown aud admired by nearly every ome who ever visitod the FHoosier capital. Consideriag the abeve cirecumstanees surreunding his department, he has aceemplished wenders, and with the enaetment of gropor laws for the ‘Eow,rnment of his oflice, he will soon make it an indispensable source of valuable information to tlie people of the state.

Ohailengers and Poll-Book Holders. Sec. 41 of the act of March 6, 1889, provides, “One challenger and one poli-book holider appointed and designated by each party organization shall be entitled to stand at the side of the chute near. the chailenge window.”” The county chairman should providie a written appeintment for suc{x persons, which should be recognized by the election board, unliess revoked and a substitute appointed over the same signature. ] The judges of the Marien guperier court have consirued sec. 2of the political purity act of March'9, 18389 (chap. 130, acts 1889), to prohibit the payment of chailengers, poll-book holders, drivers, or any other party workers on election day. -We acquiesce in their censtruction of that act. e KEleotion Sheriffs, Election sherifis will preserve order at the polls, make arrests en the demand of a member of the election board or on affidavits, - They should eounduct blind voters or others needing physical assistance through the chute anf to and from the votingroem. : : : They should attend from the opening of the polls to the conclusion of the vount. Counting Ouh, When the polis are c¢losed the slection board must firat cemnt the ballots remaining and-unvoted, and the clerks must record the number of unvoted ballots on the tally-sheets. Thereupen these unvoted tickets must be totaily consumed by fire, The board must then couut the state ballots befors eounting the local ballots, by laying each baliot upon the table in the order in which it is taken from the ballotbox, and the inspector and the judge of the election, differing in pelitics from the inspecter, shail view the ballets as the names of the® persens veted for are read therefrom. If a ballot is net siampfd on ene eof the squares at the left of the titles of the tickets it will be ecounted for the names with stamps omn the squares to the left of them, and ne others. I twe or more names of opposing candidates for the same office are stamped neither ean be ceunted.

- If the title of a ticket is stamped and no names are stamped, the ballot will be counted for a!ll the names en the ticket whose title is stamped. If twoe or more titles are stamped, the ballot must be trea ed as if either title were stampaod. If the title of one ticket is stamped and alse names on eother tickets, the ballot must be counted for the names so stamped and ase for all the mames ef the title stamped, except the opponenta of names stamped. This issubject to the following exception: Inm case there are two or more candidates for the same effice en the same ticket, as in the case of candidates for the legislature, judges of the supreme court, justices of the peace, ete., in some counties, if the title of ene ticket and the names of one or more, but less than all, of such candidates on another ticket are stamped, such ballots cannet be ceunted for any of the candidates for sueh offices, for the reasen that the intention of the veter is not apparent. If a voter desires te vote a mixed ticket, as to such offices, he must stamp the name eof each eandidate tor whom he desires to vote, whether he stamdps the title of the ticket or not. To avoid possibility of mistake in such cases, election officers should advise voters, if they vote a mixed ticket, to stamp the name of each person voted for. ¢

If any ticket is found not indorsed with the initials of the poll-clerks, or if any ticket bears any distinguishing mark or mutilation, it shall net be counted, so if any ticket properly indersed and not mutilated, is so made up that it is impossible to determine from the ballot the elector’s choice of candidates, ruch ballets shall not bs counted, as to the eandidate or candidates atiected thereby, but should be counted as to the candidate not thereby aflected. In making the count, if any member of the board shall protest or objeet to the decision of a majority thereof, as to the ceunting er net counting of the ticket, such ballota must be preserved by the inspector, and the poll-clerks miust record on the tally-sheets a memorandum stating hew the tickets were stamped and counted, describing them for identification, = : ‘

THE TRUTH ABOUT ‘'JERRY.”

The Republicans’ !n-;nmoul' Gerrymander,

Republican speakers and newspaper organs are making a 8 much ado as possible over what they term . a democratic gerrymander of the state. They insist that peopie vote the republican ticket to secure a “fair apportionment,” as they style it. Well, the last time the republicans were in'a majority when the state was to b« apportioned was in 1873. They then fixed up the most infameus. gerrymander the state ever saw, It was the law for six vears, and under it at the election of 1876, while the atate went democratic by mearly six thousand, the republioans eleeted nine out of the thirteen congressmen. la other words, at that election 53,000 demserats were necessary to elect a member of - congress, but 23,000 republieans could elect ene; 207,000 repubgcan votes eleeted ninety-two members of* the general assembly, while 213,000 democratic votes were only able te elect fi tyeight members. The seame men whe veted for and appreved this eutrage are at present anun; howling against the present fair appertionment. v d

De you want to vote the democratic ticket straight? Yeu deo! well, get yeur ticket. Yeu will sce the rooster’s head and tail up, ready to crow. You will gee just below the fighting fewl, i~"i Democratic Ticket. - Now, then, take the stamp ‘and make that i " "i attheleftef “Democratic Ticket” look this way ? Then fold up the tickot according to directiens and hand it n, snd you will have dene your share teward ridding the state of republican rule. If you don’t want to vote “the straight ticket,” stamp out the little i} in front of the mame of each individual eandidate, on whatever ticket found, whem you wish te vote for, - o ~ A mark er scratch of any kind, except that muda“zthc rubber stamp provided by the election beard, will destroy your tieket. e e e Don’t mark your ticket in any way except with the rubberstamp. . .

The despairing leaders of the g. o. p., with Michener in charge, begun eight months ago the labor of setting in motion a movement which should result in the farmer organizations seie'cting tickets in democratic counties over the state, where such a step would naturally be to their advantage. Itisa trick, a snare,” It will be observed, too, that in no county in the state has the republican party indorsed the farmer move= ment where they have a clear majority; and also that they have indorsed mno Farmer alliance candidate for the legislae ture in any county who has not been a republican heretofore and stands committed te vote for the republican caucus nominee for the U. 8. senate. : "~ A demecrat who would be led into euch a political pitiall needs a guardian, and all farmers who do not approve of the highe tax-robber-tariff, the force bill, the record ‘of repubican extravagance which shows &' deficiency of $£80,000,000, and other reck= less legislation, should steer clear of all side shows and vote the straight demos cratic ticket. - - |

' ANSWERING |TBELR : A Republioan Newspapsr in the Great Ack : of swailow:ing liself, The Ohloaga “Heraid” on the Ohicago . “Tribune.” D The spotted Chicago Tribune now finds itself engaged in a political campaign and it is, therefore, strenuously in favor of 8 monepoly tariff, which it advocates with all the false and foolish “‘arguments’ thas play se important a part in the maintenaace of every great wrong. In its issue of yesterday, referring to Roger Q: Mills ot Texas, who is not more of a free trader than is the Tribune itself when no election is pending, it says: ‘

Mr. Mills has been frank enough, He has teld the people of Wisconsin that it is the ine tention of his democratic party to substitute for a protective tariit a “tarill for revenue only.” That ehange would close every Ameris ean factory or mill and bring thé wages of the men employed in them and e\ ery other kind of business done in cities and towus down to the European standard, 'Are the Wisconsin voters: quite ready for that change? - . Let us securo an‘answer to this folly and faisehood from the Tribune itself. On the sth of May, 1888, it said: The lowest wages paid in this country fop labor at all skilled are 1n industries haviug protection, and noue of them pay any more than the market rate for labor, while all strive to ape propriate the entire taritt bounty to themselves and give workmen no share, - On the 11th of February, 1888, the Tribune said: , . In point of fact protected workmen are the poerast paid town laborers in the United States, and the more highly protected the factories are the less the wages. . : %n the 6th of January, 1888, the Tribune said: - New England has two strongly distinguished olnsses of population—tarii-proteoted monopos lista and coupeon-clippers so rich that they don’s kvow how te spend their money, and paoper faotory hands who never get a cent’s worth of protection out of the tarilg.v " The Herald might multiplv these quotations almost without number, but the above will suffice. A campaign is on, Jim Binine has winked and his servitors in all parts of the country have put their consciences to sleep. The monopolies are to be saved again, and the Chicago Tribune is foremest in the fight in their behalf, \ “Ben's” Relatives Geot Oflloe, Shertly after his inauguration, President Harrison laid dewn “the rule that “the only way to get satisfaction out of a public effice is to please yourscli while in it.” Hers is the family list of appointments, revised to date, and indicates one way Brother Ben is ‘“pleasing himseli” and “getting satisfagtion” out of the office.

. No wonder that the amiable and mothe erly Mrs. Harrison has taken ground, in quite an elaborate interview, that the white heuse should be immediately en= larged. The Farmers' Homs Market, Heon. Hugh McCulloch, secretary of the treasury under Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur, addressed the farmers of the the country as follows: Farmers have been so drilled in the idea that it is the heome market upon which they should. rely, that they seem to have been unconscious of the faci”that the home market is altegether insufiicient for the supply which is inereasing more ravidily than the home mare ket demands, and that either increase of de« mand or diminution of supply has become & beoessity., Western farmers are complainhz of the low prices of what they have to sell, an many of them attribute the depression to s scaroity of eurrency. If they would ceass looking to protectionists fer infermation and would examine the trade relarions between their ewn ocountry and other countries they wonld discover that it is markets, and not enre reney, that is needed to improve their com; tiens, The taritt has centributed immensely ta the eains of manufaoturers, while for some time the farmers who have Leen as well off &t the olose of the year as they were at the coms mencoment, have been the exceptions,’ V. 8.
