Tae Elkhart Review utters a truth in these words: ‘‘Some men who are charged with party affairs haye an opinion that duplicity and trickery are absolute essentials of political work. Such men are a damage to the party they belong to and to the cause they espouse.”’ . THE republican press and the spell binders have suddenly dropped the sugar part of the argument and we don’t hear so much about dear sugar and sugar trust. Sugar is cheaper today than it was a year ago and the price continues to fall, much to the disgust of the republican orators. EUROPEAN critics say that the Japanese sailors fight like Americans, Ifso, . it is not surprising, for most of the ships of the victorious ficet are said to be commanded by officers who were educated in the navy school at Annapolis. For many years a number of Japanese youths have been sent to this country to be trained for the navy. One of them is now an admiral in the Japanese service. ' - WE HEAR it said that merchants are leaying the democratic party because they can’t make as much on their goods as they formerly did under a McKinley tariff,. The people who haye been footing the bills will doubtless find out in due season that democratic legislatuire is to their benefit. It is a fundamental principle of democracy that that which brings the greatest good to the greatest number is the true . basis of government. ~ THE government corn crop report, which places the probable yield at about 1,100 million bushel~, is generally criticized in the grain trade and in the stock market, and some persons insist that the crop is not short atall, but will be one of the largest, with about two exceptions that has been grown in the last twenty years. All agree that the corn crop in the south is excellent, and will probably be 200,000,000 bushels more than the crop of 1893.

IN ILLINOIS & law was enacted last year prohibiting the employment of any alien as a peace oflicer, or as deputy sheriff, special constable or special policeman in any part of that state or by any of its local authorities. All persons thus employed must be American citizens and must haye been actual residents for one yecar of the county in which they may be employed. We agree with the New York Sun in saying that this is a good law.

NEew tariff rates, great reduction on woolen goods. cry the merchants. And all this has come about since the Gorman tariff has become a law. This is no campaign.lie. Ask your merchants or consult New York, Philadelpbia and Chicago newspapers. The advertisers tell the story. The calamity howler muast hunt his hole in the ground. The tide has turned against them, Good times are coming for the wageworker and the business man. This is a great country.—Valparaiso Messenger.

ABOUT twenty years ago, Germany adopted theé system of compulsory insurance of working men against accidents. Sinc¢e that time there has been

paid into the reserye fund about $BB,000,000 of which about $20,000.000 now forms the capital. In the year last reported more than $7,500,000 was paid in indemnities, and more than $3,000,000 was added to the reserve fund. It is now proposed to extend the system to apprentices and employees whose wages do not exceed $476 a year. e

IF 1T 18 RIGHT to pay raisers of sugar bounties it is equally right to pay the wheat, corn and cotton raisers & bounty. There is no clearer fact than this. The two cents per pound bounty that has been paid sugar growers by the government under the McKinley bill was a tax upon the people which they paid on sll other articles they used, Cheap sugar was a delusion to hoodwink voters while they were being burdened by enormous taxes on other classes of goods and household necessi- J ties they were compelled to purchase. l ~New Albany Ledger. v _

A PLETHORA of gold is reported in London, and money is ‘‘piled up” here. The discount rates are half of one per cent. for thirty or ninety days. This condition of the money market indicates depression in business in England. if not all over Europe. SENATOR VOORHEEs certainly gave expression to a great truth when he said recently that the people were beginning to understand the new tanifl. He can prove it by the reduced prices in most kinds of goods, the increased price in wool, the resumption of thousands of industrial establishments all over the country, and the increasing prosperity that is manifest in all departments of business, The croaking calamity howlers are the only people now found entirely out of business. ALapAMA is making systematic efforts to attract immigrants from the northwest. Mr. Lane, the Alabama state commissioner of agriculture, is to make an extended tour in this interest. He will. make a thorough canvass of Minnesota, lowa, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin, scattering immigration literature and making speeches. To bring colonists from the region of the northwest blizzards he will point out the adyantages in Alabama, where winter 18 hardly known, and where fertile lands for truck-farmine can be _had at low prices, ProrLe who haye been led to believe that hard times are confined to any particular couutry, or due to high tariff or low tariff can be supplied with abundant evidence that that notion is a snare and a delusion. Judge Baldwin, of Logansport, who has just returned from Europe, doubtless tells the exact truth when he says: ‘1 took special pains when in Norway, Sweden, Germany and England to inquire into the financial situation. They are all suffering hard times just as we are. No one is able to give any reason. It seems a universal, world-spread depresssion. Europe has now the finest crops that they have had for the last twelve years. The wheat crop is simply magnificent.” . ' A LETTER received by Secretary Morton from Charles J. Murphy,>one of the representatives of the department of agriculture abroad, reports the award of a gold medal at the Universal exposition at Antwerp, Belgium, to the California wine exhibit. The California wines were late in arrival, as ‘the awards had been made two weeks, ‘and the jury had adjourned. The persistence of Col. Murphy, backed by the powerful influence of Mr. Gore, the ‘American commissioner general, finally succeeded in having the jury reconvened, with the above result. Col. Murphy adds that the jury was a most critical one; embracing some of the most noted wine experts in Europe, including wine merchants from Germany and France. - This is a great triumph for the California wine growers.

CaraMITY howlers persist in crying hard times, but as a matter of fact, business is picking up and readjusting itself since the settlement of that longdrawn tariff dispute. Dr. W. K. Davis, United States postage stamp agent, giyes a unique demonstration that the people are not so ‘*hard up” as they think they are: Said he:

“Postal revenues are undoubtedly the best kind of a business barometer. Uncle Sam’s late traflic in stamps clearly indicates a business rennai:sance. Three weeks ago 385,000,000 stamps were ordered of the bureau of printing and engraving. Two weeks ago the public demand ilncreased to 65,000,000 and last week 69,000,000 were issued by the bureau. This clearly shows that the times are improving fast. It is but just to state that the experiment of manufacturing postage stamps at the bureau of engraving and printing has been a marked success. In the perfection of engraving and the finish of the stamp the workmanship is all that can be desired. and it does not mratter how heayy the public demand may be. The facilities tor supplying it are fully adequate.”” =~ ‘

The Age of Companionship.: When a woman is forty years young' she begins to learn how to live. Then if ever she is companionable. She has gotten through with the romantic, sentimental nonsense of the early twenties and the vagaries and extravagances of the thirties. She can talk to a man without flirting and speak of her children without decrying them and fatiguing her friends. ‘A woman who is not broad and clean minded, tenderhearted quick-witted, healthy, optimistic and lovable at forty was all wrong at the start. :

Were They From Ligonier? All LaGrange people are not afraid of contracting small pox in Sturgis. A little romance taking place here Friday is worth repeating. Thursday evening a young lady from a main town in Indiana took the train for Sturgis. As the’ train pulled out a young man jumped aboard looking the picture of innocence. They to all appearance met accidentiy. Both got off at Sturgis and were as. loving. as kittens. They remained over night and returned home next day. The passengers groaned a sigh when they noted the hugs and kisses, and thought of bygone days, but all tumbled to the racket when LaGrange was Treached. The soft young chap got off the car on one side, the girl meekly on the other, and then the crowd tumbled to ‘the true state of affairs and realized it was not a genuine honeymoon they had witnessed. —Sturgis Times. 1t is reported that the young people mentioned abpve reside in Ligonier. : ; Be Prompt. . : Suaeh persons as are in our debt will please take notice that all accounts must. be settled by Sept. 15, 1894, Yours respecfully, _ ; ZmumeERMAN & Co.

SUGAR BOUNTY OR SUGAR TAX. Many people intimate that the tariff of 40 per cent. on raw sugar works for| the benefit of the sugar trust. 'he Mec-| Kinley bill gave the sugar trust free sugar and gave them half a cent a pound protection on all manufactured sugar. The present tariff on raw sugar 1s more nearly a tariff for revenue only, as some people interpret that expression in the platform of 1892 than any article in the schedule.: Whatever is paid as duty on raw sugar goes directly ihto the treasury of the United States, and the sugar trust must pay the tax into the treasury. It must be borne in mind that the sugar trust is a combination of all the refiners of sugar in the United States, hence they are the only ones who import raw sugar. Thereis an element of protection in this schedule so far as 1t applies to the amount of sugar that is produced in Louisiana, and by the best manufacturers of California. Utah and Nebraska and the manufacturers of maple sugar in different states. It is a protection to the amount ot 40 per cent. in favor of all such producers of sugar, and besides this, as is well known, there is a tariff of one-eighth of 1 cent per pound on refined sugar. ‘That is the measure ot all the protection that the sugar trust gets under ‘the senate bill, but that one eighth of ‘one cent pér pound is also a protection ‘in fayor of ail manufactures of sugar from beets or maple sap. - Besides the 40 per cent onraw sugar it means simply this: that if anyone imports sugar into the United States he must pay first 40 per cent on the amount of sugar imported, and one-eighth of one cent per pound additional if it'is refined sugar. Of course itiis yery plain that this tax or tariff 18 a prohibitive tariff so far as refined sngar is concerned. It, therefore, leaves the entire market of the United States in the hands of the sugar refiners, and there 18 the virus of thiz bill. It shuts oﬁ'l all competition so far as refined sugar is concerned, but it does not give a( a very high protection to the sugar‘ trust, and they (did not want this present bill. They very much preferred the McKinley bill, which gave them not only a monopoly of all sugar coming into the country or manufactured in the country, but it gave them a protection of half a cent a pound and it turned into their pockets all the profit and nothing into the treasury. The McKinley bill took out nine-millions per year from the treasury, which of course, had to be earned by other industries and paid oyer to the manufacturers of sugar in Louisiana and elsewhere. The present law will place in the treasury not less than $40,000,000 per year. People talk of the terrible thing of taxing the people on sugar. We probably have 70,000,000 of people, if they are the ones that pay the tax, then it would leaye about 60 cents per, year to be paid by each and eyery individual in the Uniced States to put $40,000,000 into the treasury from the the sugar tax. We would rather see that paid by the people and go into the treasury than to see it collected by the sugar trust and remain in their pockets, while as under the McKinley bill, $9,000,000 per year was taken out of the pockets of the people and put into the pockets of the sugar producers and all the people compelled to pay tribute to the sugar trust monopoly which was created by the McKinley bill. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

County Papers too Cheap in This Country. J. P. Prickett, who formerly lived in and who was trustee of Benton township twenty years ago. has eularged his paper, the Albion New Era. which is an evidence of prosperity pleasing to his and the paper’s friends. It is one of the few papers that retains a subscription price of $2 a year. Country papers are worth and should get this price. In England and Ireland the writer visited country newspapers, the subscription - of which is a pound a year, about $4.82 in our money. Yet the price of all the city dailies range the same as similar papers in this country. There is no country on the face of the globe where newspaper readers get so much for so little, and this is especially true of the country people, who should not only pay a fair price . with cheerfulness, but who should do so promptly.—Goshen News. S

stay in Indiana, The crop reports from Indiana make a much better showing than six weeks ago. The Indiana farmer should be the happiest man 1n the land this year. About everything that nature yields is most abundant. Good wheat, good oats, in most parts good corn, plenty of hay, a great yield of clover seed, plenty of apples and pears, tons of grapes and such patches of cabbage and tomatoes! Why, Indiana is full of good things. It is the best all around farming state in the union. The man who wants to live in a better place will haye to wait until the gates of heaven are opened for his coming. Stay in Indiana. Spend ten hours a day, as the industrious farmer does, in healthful work, set aside six heurs for reading and recreation, and eight hours for peaceful sleep and ﬁur enjoyment will be as perfect as 1€ can make it.

Work to get a home in Indiana. The man who owns a farm in Indiana is the most independent man on earth. —Logansport Pharos. :

- VISITED BY REGULATORS. Looks as Though Noble County Vigilants Had Invaded Elkhart County. - Clinton township comes to the front with still another chapter to the Cole barn-burning episode, for Fred Huff, who resides on Saloonkeeper Green’s farm, 2 miles north-west of Middlebury reports a midnight visit from a body of supposed ‘‘regulators’’ cn Monday night. Huff is described as being about 35 years of age and a man of good reputation. The fact that he was a tenant of Green, whose name has been connected with the ConnerCole case. supposedly led, the regulators” to believe that he knew some things that would be of Jvalue to them in the coming conspiracy trial. They therefore sought to mntimidate him and he thus describes their visit: He was called at 12 o’clock by two men who asked him to come outside, as they had business with him. Igreplied by inyiting them in and askjng their business. They refused to en @ but informed him that forty men owt side would bring him out forcibly unless he came voluntarily, and after an hour's parley he finally stepped out. He found a string of buggies filled with men and after many had surrounded him a spokesman put several questions to him. These questions involved his connection with the alleged barn-burning conspiracy and indicated the basis for the unusual proceedure. To all of them Huff was enabled to make a truthful negative answer, and the captors finally released their prisoner and he returned home. Daring the proceedings he saw one man take a suspicious looking coil of rope out of a buggy and he interpreted the ilction as a threat to resort to lynch aw.

Mrs. Huff steathily followed the men as they walked from the house with her husband and from her place of hiding heard and witnessed all that ‘'was said and done. T Huff significantly extends an invitation to the ‘‘regulators’ to come again as he says he is now better prepared to entertaln any unwelcome guests — Goshen News. . . An Excellent Publication. ‘ Alhough means of travel haye been greatly cheapened and improved in recent years, many persons still prefer to have their traveling done for them as they sit about the home fireside with a copy of Haper’s Magazine, This year readers have enjoyed or will enjoy, Richard Harding Davis’s descriptions of English and Paris life; Alfred Parsons’ pictures of Japan; Edwin Lord Weeks’ papers on India and Poultney Bigelow’s experiences in Russia and Germany.

Autumn Novelities for Ladies’ Gowns. Woolen goods for autumn wear are light in weight, a desirable feature—as skirts of dresses are now so generally lined and interlined that they become too heavy for comfort even in mid winter, if made of weighty fabrics. Plain colors, mixtures of two or three colors and clouded effects are seen among the new goods. Small figures are preferred to large. Narrow stripes lengthwise, bayadere and diagonal, neat checks or blocks and some plaids are shown in dull and in light colors though not in Scotch. tartans. The particular blue called bluet appears in all materials and there are many bronze shades, with green prevailing in some and brown in-others. Capes will be worn again and must continue in vogue while large sleeyes are used. For general wear the golf cape of cloth with scotch plaid lining will be chosen. The McDowell Fashion Journals from which the above information is gathered contain in their last issue' a great variety of novelities for the coming season. They offer besides by means of coupons, patterns of the very latest styles at very moderate prices. ¢La Mode de Paris,”’ and ‘‘Paris Album of Fashion,”’ cost $3.50 each per annum, or 35 cents a copy. ‘The French Dressmaker’’ is $3.00 per year, or 30 cents a copy. ‘‘LaMode’”’ which 18 considered the best family journal, with colored plates, costs only $1.50 per year or 15 cents a copy. The three first mentioned publications offer each $l.OO worth of coupon patterns and “LaMode’’ fifty cents worth ot the same as a premium for a yearly subgcription. If you are unable to procure any of these journals from your newsdealer do not take any substitute from him, but apply by mail to Messrs. A. McDowell & Co., 4 West 14th street, New York city. ‘
