_j4 A o vh et s . & Republicans Appalled by the Business Revival,. Their Organ Refuses Longer to Print -the News, Bat Nevertheless the Boom In Manufacturing Industries Goes Merrily Along — Thousands of Workingmen . Once More Employed — Unanswerable ‘Arguments For the Calamity Shriekers " “to Meet—dßepublican Testimony Proves . the Return of Prosperity. ' “Democratic times’’ has become a phrase which Republicans no longer delight to wuse. In fact they don’t like to hear anything about ‘Democratic times’’ these days. ‘Democratic times’’ are right at hand and they are just what everybody wants — prosperous times. - , ‘When the Indiana Republicans opened their campaign they couldn’t talk long enough or loud eunough about the disasters that would follow on the enactment of the tariff law. But a Democratic tariff law was enacted and immediately business began to revive in all quarters. The revival was not a spasmodic movement, either, but has continned until trade in every line may now be said to be booming.

For weeks, in fact ever since the passage of the new tariff bill, the Indianapolis Journal has on every Monday morning been refuting calamity statements of its editorial columns by publishing a department of industrial news treating of the business situation in Indianapolis and vicinity. This department has been carefully prepared but evidently has not passed beneath the supervision of the political editor. Week in and week out this department has told of reviving trade, of factories starting up, of extensions being made in every line of business. This department has been to the party managers what the traditional red rag is to the sanguinary bull. They have labored with the management qf The Journal to suppress the department or ‘‘cook’ the news so that it would give a semblance of truth to the calamity howling of the orators and organs. The managers have protested and complained and threatened. But still the news in theindustrial department of The Journal has continued to herald the return of prosperity. . At last, however, the state central committee has triumphed; the news instincts of The Journal management has given way to the politieal dosires of the proprietors and the industrial department of The Journal, which has been one of its leading and best featunes for many years, fails to appear this week. It is also to be observed that Repuablican papers all over the state, presumably by the direction of the state central committee, are giving no prominence whatever to announcements of resumptions of factories and other evidences of the restoration of business activity. The action of the Indianapolis Journal in suppressing this valuable department of the paper is the best evidence possible that Indiana has at last fallen on “Democratic times;”’ and ‘‘Democratic times?’ means prosperous times—means Democratic victory in November.

REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY, Manufacturing Institutions Running to Their Full Capacity. . But the fact that Republican papers in Indiana refuse to print news of the revival of business doesn’t prevent the revival from going right ahead, just the same, and a few Republican papers are honest enough to tell their readers so. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette in its Sunday issue has the following items of interest in connection with the resumption of business: . In General. ' ' The Chattanooga plow works will enlarge its plant and double its force of 250 men. - The Globe woolen mills, Utica, N. Y., resumed with 30 more hands than formerly. : Mill operatives are looking forward to an advance in wages at the North Adams Manufacturing company, whose - mill is at Braytonville, Mags., and which manufactures high grad¢ woolens. A reduction of 10 per cent as made last March. ' The manufacturers Chicago are gradually employing more men and are slowly getting back into the condition in which they were prior to the hard times. ’ It is certain co-operative sleepingcar works will be built at Hiawatha, Kan. The Pennsylvania. steel works, Steelton, resumed with a full force in all departments. A new bicycle factory of large proportions is soon to be erectei\at Weatherly, Pa., and when completed employment will be given to several hundred men. The Cleveland Twist Drill company, Cleveland, 0., is now running fufi capacity and 10 hours a day, with an increased force of men. ’ Pullman is to have another formidable competitor in the Goodwin Car Manufacturing company, which has just been incorporated at Des Moines, la., with an authorized capital stock of $2,000,000. Employment will be given to 3,000 men. The silk industrial awakening is being strongly felt in Allentown, Pa.; where the Adelaide mills, employing more than 1,000 hands, has restored the old rate of wages, which were reduced last winter. Another silk- mill is in course of erection. The Barbour threadmill has recently resumed. operations with several hundred hands and increased wages. The Montour Steel and Iron company of Danville, Pa., is'still running all departments of its works to the fullest caga,city. The foundry, machine amd lacksmith shops are busily engaged working full time. The Lima (O.) Steel Casting company opened its, new works on Oct. 1 and gave employment to about 60 men. : The Lakeside nailmill, Hammond, Ind., started ap last Monday on full time. The 25 potteries in East Liverpool, 0., are all being operated with greater aos tivity than at any time probably in their history. oSt ; PILES! PILES! PILES!

BUSINESS MEN TALK. » EFFECT# OF THE NEW TARIFF LAW - ON PRICES, The General Tendency Is Toward Lower Prices er a Better Quality of Goods - For Prices Formerly Paid For Inferior Goods. - , . ; » [Peru (Ind.) Sentinel.] Four years ago The Sentinel laid before its readers statements of a number of our leading merchants as to the effect of the McKinley law upon the prices of merchandise and upon trade generally. That law having been repealed, and a new tafiff law enacted by the last congress to take its place, we have thaught proper to interview the same merchants as to the effect of the new law on prices and upon trade in their various lines.. We herewith publish the statements of 1890 and 1894, in parallel columns, and submit them fto our readers without comment, leaving them to make their own deductions from the -statements of the persons interviewed, all of whom are well known as leading business men of our city:

1894 John S. Lenhart, of the firm of Lenhart & Sons, says: “The passage of the new -tariff law has had the effect of cheapening all goods in our line and of stimulating trade. Trade has improved perceptibly within the past month and as the new schedules of wholesale prices have enabled us to buy our goods cheaper than formerly we can afford to and do sell them cheaper. The placing of lumber on the free list will not benefit furniture manufacturers as much as users of pine lumber and othér timber and lumber in building, but it will have a tendency to make furniture cheaper. The heavy cuts in plushes, velvets, carpets and other materials used in upholstering, also the reductionson glue, paints, oils, varnishes _plulcighbss, ete., will enable retailers to sell a much better quality of goods at the same price they were formerly compelled to charge for inferior goods and to sell the inferior goods at a less Rri(te than under the McKiniey law.” 1894 . J. W. Ellis, of Ellis, Stiles' & Co., carriage manufacturers, says: “The passage of the wool schedule of the new tariff law hasenabled us to give our customers a better grade of clotivin trimming for- the same price they formerly paid for lighter goods. We can now give them cloth weighing 18 ounces to the yard for ‘the same price we formerly had tocharge for 16 ounce cloth; about the same for 16 ounce that 14 ounce cloth cost under the McKinley law. Reductions in cotton fabrics will also enable us to use better and heavier grades of enamel goods, buckrams, ete., without increasing the cost of finished -vehicles. Free lumber will probably enable manufacturers of hubs, “wheels and bodies to make lower prices to vehicle manufacturers, as will also reductions in paints, oils, varnishes, leads, etc., as well as iron and springs. The result will be a very much better grade of vehicles for the same prices. formerly paid under a high tariff system for ordinary work.” - : 1894 John H. Beck, hardware, stoves and tinware: - “Prices of foreign cutlery will be much lower than under the McKinley law by reason of the reduction of import duties on the same. Tin and manufacturers of tin will also be loweér for the same reason. Builders’ hardware will probably remain about the same as at present. Nails will bhe some lower; glass will also be considerably cheaper; paints will tend downward, as will nearly all goods in my line. Builders will notice qui‘s a differenee in the cist of tin roofing fr ‘ ne rates that we . Lave been compelled to charge for the past three or four years. They will be doubly benefited by the new law, as they will be able to buy a much betier qualitf' of roofing tin for less money than they have heretofore had to pay for poor tin.” 1894 ‘ Ed T, Gray, dealer in vehicles, harness, robes, horse furnishings, etc.: ; *'The new tariff law tends to -make all goods in my line cheaper. I boughta bill of goods last week-?fi&? per cent less than was compelled to pay for the same class of %o'ods under the Mec--InleY law. In fact, the bill I laid in last week is a better grade of goods than we were offered under the old system of high tariff, My customers will, of course, get the benefit of the reduced wholesale rates, because having purcnased my stock at lower figures I can make mfy reguJar margin of profit and still sell them at lower _prices than those which have prevailed heretofore.’ 1394 Julius Falk, the clothier and gents' furnisher: : “Mi/mbusinesslor the ‘months of August and September of this year has been much heavJder than du’ring the same period of last year, but not up to the mark of 1892. I am selling woolen suits, overcoats, hats, caps and underwedr lower than ever before and the demand seems to be for the better grades of goods. The Ae e ers are buying the this year is because

1890 John S. Lenhart, of the firm or Lenhart & Sons, said: ~ **Houses with which [ do business have sent out notification that owing to the passage of . the McKinley bill many goods in our line have been advanced. Looking glasses have advanced from 10 to 25 per cent. Cofiin trimmings of all kinds have advanced from 10 to 15 per cent. All kinds of upholstered goods are demanding an increased price on account of the increased price of the material used in upholstering. Varnish has also been placed up a notch. I have noticed that the general tone of all manufactured goods is upward and yet I haven’t heard of manufacturers paying any more to their hands. There is general dissatisfaction all over the country among business men with the effects produced on trade.”™ 1890 - J. W. Ellis, of the firm of Ellis, Stiles & Co.,.said: . “There has been an advance in all kinds’ of material going into the manufacture of carriages and buggies. Manufactories in this country have . advanced thkeir prices. The cloth and finishings have all advanced. Axles and steel tires are higher since the passage of the bill. Anincreased price © for material means an increased price for the finished product, which means fewer sales. Fewer sales means the emgloyment of . fewer ands. Iregard it as a most unjust measure. It affects all classes and the consumer has to pay it all +in the long run. When will the people have the sand and moral courage to rectify the wrongs that are being heaped upon them?” 1890 Beck & Reilly, when approached on the question, said: “There has been an advance in many things handled by us and nearly all kinds of hardware have already advanced since the passage of the bill. Tin was advanced from $10.50 per box to $12.50 per box, and soolder from 15 cents to 18 cents per pound. Of course the man who now hasf)a tin roof put on his house or desires anything in the tin line will have to pay the extra cost. We regard it as a very unjust measure, and it will fall heavily upon the consumer.’’ ¥ © 1890 : Ed T. Gray, when approached on the question, said: “I haven't investi~ gated the subject very much, but from notices received from wholesale houses I have been informed - that leather has been increased from 10 to 15 per cent. I am certain that all li:‘nds of cloth will. be i%her, espe-~ cially in plush goods. Horse blankets will be higher, but as I bought all my goods in that line Dbefore the bill took effect, prices will not be materially changed for the present at least,” : 1890 s Julius Falk said. “The goods in my line that are bought from this time on will be very much dearer, especially is this so in worsted goods. The retailers will be compelled to oha.:ge the consumer the advance in price. 1 have been fiaefiin¥ an efi'e on the cKinley bill and to forestall a rise in prices bought $lO,OOO worth of goods which J now have on my shelves, and over $25,000 worth of stap.ie goods_for, nex{ sumgog- 1 hate now lying Chicago more

they can get the best in the market for about the same prices that we have . had to ask them _ for inferior goods heretofore. There can be no (Luestlon but what the removal of the import duties from raw wool will have the effect of lowering prices and of improving the quality of woolen fabrics at the same time. There is a marked tendency toward improvement in the style. qluality and finish of all kinds of clothing. The sharp competition among manufacturers has nuturalli'l brought this about. FKFootwear and rubber goods have changed but little in price, but the same rule of better values for the same money applies to those lines as well as to all others in which I deal.” 1894 Felix Levy of the French Bazaar: ““As a result of the reductions on cotton goods domestic cottons are selling 25 per cent lower than under the old system. Prices of woolens remain about the same, as the woolen schedule of the new tariff law will not go into effect until Jan. 1, 1895. After that date I think prices of the cheaper grades of woolen goods will fall 25 per cent and of the finer grades about 1214 or 15 r cent.. The genel‘af?etendency of prices on _all goods in our liné where the tariff rates have been reduced will be downward. The present stocks were purchased under the McKinley law and .prices will probably not change materially until after Jan.ll. Then I anticipate an adjustment of retail prices to correspond with the new law. There is no doubt but what better goods can be sold under the new law after all the schedules are in force for the same money inferior goods have brought under the high tariff laws.” : 1894 . Hugh McCaffrey, ot McCaffrey & Co., grocers: . -~ *I -have been too busy lately at the mill <and with other matters to carefully exam.ine all of the schedules of the new tariff law bearing upon the grocery business. I can say, however, that word received from home manufacturers, Jjobbers and wholesalers indicate that there will be reductions in many lines. By reference toour advertisement in this issue *of The Sentinel your readers can see for themselves what we are doing in the way of cutting prices. There is no guess work about our statements in our advertisement. They are the prices we are offering our customers. There are many phases of the grocery business which would ‘require much space to speak of in detail. A list of the prices at which we are offering goods tells the story.” - 1894 P George C. Miller, of Shirk & Miller: . “RBusiness is consid-~ erably better than it was last year, but not up to 1892. The general tendeney of the new tariff bill is to lower prices of goods in nearly all lines. We are selling woolen {.;()ods, such as flannels, lankets, dress goods and woolen clothing, underwear, carpets, hats and caps, ete., cheaper than we did last year. There has been a disposition on the part of manufacturers for some time past to improve the style, _quahtg and finish of goods, which, taken in connection with the gradual drift toward lower prices, enables merchants to sell their customers a better quality of goods for the *same prices they have been compelled to charge them for inferior goods in times past. Cotton fabrics have been steadil%/v declining in price for some time and are now selhn%a.t low figures. There has been very little, if any, change in the cost of footwear, but we are able to give better values for the same money. Queensware is selling at a lower scale of prices than formergr. The reduction of duties on imported - queensware has materially reduced retail prices of foreign ware. Prices of tin have declined and will probably continue to do so. American manufacturers are constantli; improving their méthods of manufacture and the result will be a hlgh'er grade of tin for about the same or lower prices than tin has sold for in the past. Builders’ hardware was never so cheap as now. To sum up, I am of the opinion that there is a wuniversal téendency to im{)rovement in the qua itY of all goods. There is less shoddy put upon the market each virea.r. The natural result will be consumers will get bet_ter goods for their money than formerly."

worsted goods than any 10 retailers in Chicago have, which I bought before the bill affected them. Yes,it will be hard on the fellows who buy now."

1890 ) Felix Levy of the French Bazaar said: “] have reeceived many circulars from wholesale houses in which they refuse to fill orders at the old prices. Plushes have advanced from 30 to 35 per cent, and those that cost $5 per yard before the enactment of the law are now selling at from $6.50 to $6.75 - per yard. The goods affected most are of a cheaper nature, those selling from 15 to 50 cents per yard —that is, woolen goods and cashmeres. We handle a corset that formerly cost $24 per dozen, and we are now informed that they will cost us $27. The bill is a hard blow to’ th% merchants, as it ‘will be a difficult matter for them to make their customers bhelieve that the advance was made necessary by the new law. It will work great hardship.” :

1990 - Hugh MecCaffrey, when asked what goods han‘dlq«fd by him would be"affected most, said: *I have not had the time to investigate all the phases of the bill, but from what I have learned frem word sent out from thelarge wholesale houses, I can say that queensware, glassware, cutler-f and tinware will all be made higher. The American - factories are all stiffening up their prices on account of the McKinley bil%. The consumer will have to pay the advance,”

1899 George C. Miller, of the firm of Shirk & Miller, said: 7 “There can be no question that the new law is having a very decided tendency to increase the prices of many lines of goods. Especially is this true in worsted goods, tin, cax('ipets, queensware and boots and shoes. While I do not think that the bill is brought to bear so heavily on leather goods as upon some other classes, the tariff on the raw material going into the manufacture of them greatly enhances the prices. lam in favor of free raw material for the manufactories. Most of our merchants ‘made their purchases before the . bill went into effect, and its effects will not be felt urtil the merchants go to restock.”

It will be seen by reference to the various interviews that the. consensus of opinion is that the new system will result in a cheapening .of goods and improvement in their quality. ‘A condition devoutly to be wished.’’ The Sentinel has always contended that high tariff meant high prices for necessaries, and we think the unbiased statements of facts of persons in a position to know whereof they speak fully supports that view of the matter. : Seeing the Effects. .

S HONEST AND TRUE Democracy Never Fails to Redeem Its I'latform Pledges, ~ The Splendid Record of Good Faith Made In Indiana., ' It Has Been the Steadfast and .Con:slstent Friend of the Laborer and the Taxpayer and the Persistent Foe of the Monopolies and Oppressors of the People—The School Book Law, Tax Law, Pinkerton Law, Fee and Salary Law and Other Beneficial Measures Enacted by Democratic Legislatures — New Pledges Given. - The Democracy of Indiana has never made fair promises for campaign effect, to be forgotten after election. Every pledge, of the past has been carried out to the letter. Just look at the record:

In pursuance to its pledge of fealty to the interests of the workingman it enacted the Mechanics’ lien law against the bitter opposition of the Republicans, the swindling contractors and grasping property owners. » - Against Republican opposition it enacted a law protecting union labels from forgery. e Though the Republicans fought hard, it made eight hours a legal day’s work in all state employment. A Democratic legislature, against the fiercest opposition by Republicans and mine owners, enacted a law for. the protection of miners while at work, which has proved so effective that not a mine disaster has occurred since the enactment. ;

Against the same opposition a Democraticlegislature enacted laws compelling the payment of wages in cash, thus doing away with the enslaving ‘pluckme’’ stores by which miners and other workingmen were kept always in debt to their employers. - Over the protest of Republicans, Democracy enacted laws prohibiting the blacklisting of employes by railroads and other great corporations. : A Democratic legislature enacted a law prohibiting the employment of Pinkerton’s Hessians in the state of Indiana, though the Republicans, at the behest of their owners, the railroads, fought the bill at every step. o And, as a further boon: to labor, a Democratic legislature, at its last session, enacted the employe’s coliability law, though opposition to it was made ad party policy by the Republican caucus. A Democratic legislature enacted the Barrett improvement law, which gives property owners 10 years in which to pay for public improvements. It is needless to say that the bill, being in the interest of the taxpayer as against the taxgrabber, was fought tooth and toenail by the Republicans. . The new school book law, which cut off 60 per cent of the cost of text books used in the Indiana schools, was enacted by a Democratic legislature. Nearly every Republican pa,pesli in Lhe state opposed it, and the Republ cang.tte officials to a man acted aslobbyists for the school book ring to secure its defeat. Under Republican legislation and Republican manipulation Indiana elections had become a scandal and a farce. A Democratic legislature enacted laws which have prevented bribery and corruption and the Australian ballot law which gives an absolutely secret ballot, freeing from intimidation or bulldozing those employes of the great corporations and others whose votes had formerly been dictated by their employers. After fighting the enactment of all these laws the Republicans sought to beat them in the courts or to devise means to' evade their provisions. All these efforts have proven-ineffectual and Dudleyism, Dorseyism and all their concommitants of “crisp $2 bills,”” ‘“‘trusted men’’ and “blocks-of-five’’ have passed away, never to return to Indiana unless the Republicans secure the legislature, when their {irst act will be to repeal the election aws. :

The new tax law, so advantageous to the ordinary taxpayer and so odious to the great railroad corporations, is a product of Democratic legislation. It has put $271,595,000 of railroad and corporation property on the tax duplicate and compelled the owners of this prop--erty to pay $7,000,000 taxes, which sum is saved to the farmer and householder Not only was the law opposed by the Republican party, but the platform of that party refers to it as an ‘‘infamous law’’ and pledges the legislature, if Republican, to repeal it. Against the opposition of the Republicans the fee and salary law, which saves the taxpayers of the state hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, was enacted by a Democratic legislature, The state board of -charities, a nonpartisan body created by a Democratic legislature, exercises supervision over the charitable and penal institutions of the state, and prevents the abuse or neglect of the insane, the poor and unfortunate wards of Indiana. | Thus have Democratic pledges been redeemed in Indiana. | Examination of Havemeyer. ‘“Which do you regard as most favorable to the sugar trust, the McKinley Jaw or the senate bill?"’ : “I regard the McKin}y law much better for the sugar t , of course.”’ Not a Homes tead Tariff. ‘We hear of no bloody massacres like that of Homestead as a result of the new tariff law.—Evansville Courier. .

Raussian Thistle in Noble County. ~Mr. W. B. VanGorder says that many plants are seut or brought to him by persons who wish to know what they are, and especially so during the last three months, all on aceount of the varied discussion in the papers, regarding the Russian thistle. Last Saturday Mr. James Nisewander of Brimfield,' brought to Albion a plant which Mr. VanGorder at once pronounced Russian thistle. Mr. VanGorder sent a specimen to Prof. Coulter of Purdue univeritsy, who 1n his reply says: *You are correct in your identification; it is Russian thistle, and that is the first detinite record of the plant in Indiana.’’ Mr. VanGorder drove over to Brimfield and with Mr. Nisewander, visited the place where the plant grows.. Itis at a point a mile east of Brimtield on the right of way over the Lake Shore R. R. Mr. ¥aux, whose farm is crossed by the railroad, says that he noticed one plant the fall of 1893; that it broke off near the ground and rolled along the track for quite a distance and finally got Into a field. This year the plant grew up abundantly for the distance of twenty rods and enough to make a large load for a bay rack—plants of sll sizes from a foot to four feet in diameter. Since the character of the plant is known—the section men have been cutting it down, but the plants haye ripened their seed and the ground is well sown, From all appearance it has a good start. Thus it will be seen that Noble leads all the other counties of the state in being the first to produce this dreaded pest, the Russian thistle.—Albion New Era. 2 ‘
