Pike County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 49, Petersburg, Pike County, 17 April 1884 — Page 2

Goverxor Henuricks has arrived in New York. The white Republicans of -Georgia have cut Jose from the colored brethren. Tirs Republican party seems to be a thing ot the past in Vanderburg county. Greexcastle, tiie home pf “tie boss ot de emgrasbun,*’ and Ilis Excellen cv, Tom Hanna, elected a Democratic Trustee last week. Two years ago a Republican Trustee was ejected bv 350. The national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held at Minneapolis, Minn., beginning on the 3rd*>f July next. Orders to this etfect have been sent out by Com-niender-in-chicf General Beath. A Washixuton 'special to the Journal says: “Should Mr. Heilman refuse to take the race for congress iu the first district, it is probable Jim Wood, the Irish miner, will be a candidate.’-’ This must a belated April fool joke.—[Indianapolis News. It is to be hoped that every Democrat in i’ike county will be present at the convention at-Wiusiow ou the 1st day of May, filled with the love of party aud a desire for harmony and good will. If such‘is the case success in the coming elections will be assured. The latest Blaine cry iu New York is that he has been twice defeated, by the pojitician?, and now he must be nominated by the people. This would do in the Democratic party ; but in a politicians’ ring and machine party politician’s rings and machines may say to the people, “Now elect your nominee. That would be fatal. James R. Chalmers, of Miss., wlio was some years ago charged by the Republican Press as having been the principal aator in the Fort Pillow masacre, and denounced as a bloody murderer, will be a delegate to the Republican Convention. lie is now a pacroit, and loyal to the core seeking with all his might to wrest the «ouutry from the confederate brigades. The only way in which wages can be permanently increased in this country is to make America what England is to-day-rtlie workshop of the world. When we are manufacturing for Mexico and South America, for Australia and China then there will be plenty of work for all and wages will rise. But while we are hampered as at present with' taxed raw materials our laborers too quickly flood the small domestic market with their productions, aud theu, there being nq work for them to dc iu the factories they nnist go to farming. Talk about the tariff diversifying industries ’ It is every day driving men out of manufacturing.—[Detroit Times.

]j» a recent interview, ex-senator Joseph E. McDonalil said: “The national convention will undoubtedly adopt substantially the platform of St. Louis and Cincinnati, with some explanations ta prevent misconstruction. The cab vane should be fought bn that iss je. If the business of the country can not stand a reduction of taxes to a point accessary tot transact the bdsilnes» «f the government, it should stand a little strain. KewYcrk aud Indiana ban be carried upon such a platform with any candidate the conVCut'on is likely to nominate. They will certainly be elected. There will ha no faction this year. We can not carry Cbiureeticut npon any kind of a platform. Xew Jersey is a solid, hbotn Democratic State. We can ry that. Ohio will depend npon 'midid tte of the Republican? "

amount charged again st them. There are bat few property holders who are unwilling to pay a' tax sufficient to "»»a; oounty in a creditable arfmfe? bn*, whim they pay in their money 1 they waul, to know tiiat* it is paid out i for* legitimate purpolte, and not sto:,! iiom the treasury at the rate of eighteen dollars per clay, (time ttn - limited) to pay two so-called expert!, to manufacture a little campaign thunder. thu I Tub elections throughout the State ^re till that .Democrats could desire, targe Democratic gains have been made, only, to be increased in November. In Center township, in Marion comity, which includes Indiapolis, the Democrats'elected the trustee l»y 932 majority. Every trustee elected in the county is a Democrat, with but one exception. This is without a precedent.in the politics of Marion coun - ty. As Indianapolis goes, so goe3 the State. If there has ever been anv doubt about our ability to carry Iudiaua this fall, last weed’s elections removed it *•

Protection is fast accomplishing its perfect work. The house of representatives of the State of New Jersey has prepared a memorial for presentation to congress in fa i'dr of prohibiting the further importation of skilled labor from Europe. So hr Oregon and the far west it will he proper to demand that the railroad hand or log chopper shall be protected from further importation of u nskilled labor. Protect an industry that requires great capital and you must protect an industry that requires no more capital than is needed to buy a spade or an ax. But perhaps three-fourths of the annual increase of our population is the result of foreign immigration. Mb. Geobue William Curtis, in Harpers Weekly, iu a leading editorial disposes of Mr. James G. Bla ine as a Republican candidate for the Presidency on the score of non-availi-bilSty. Ilis objections are that the Republicans Would be put on the defensive in explaining some of Mr. Blaine’s crooked transactions; that he could not carry New York because the stalwarts would oppose him, that, the independeuts would not support him because he opposes civil service and tariff reform ; aud lastly that the solid, conservative interests would oppose him because of a fear that his “dashing" foreigiivpolicy would embroil the country iu a war, Good-bye Blaine. The steady downward drift in the price of wheat is certainly not the re - sult of grain gambling. On the contrary., every effort within the power of the gamblers, has been majte to' bull the market. Despite of all exertions to “brace up” ami “stiffen,” and otherwise doctor prices, it remains true that wheat is now lower than it has ever been for several years. This is a favorable season for,the farmer who is selling his wheat and his pork and his hogs/at low prices, while he is giving high prices for his blankets^ and his plows and bis cutlery, to rehearse his political creed by sections and ask himself whether he can give a “reason for the faith that is in him’ as to the ben'fioent effects of a protective tariff. It has been wisely stated: “It were much better to see the tax-gatherer and ta k with him face to face—bid him good morning—scan Ids books- - perhaps dispute them—look into his bill. It were better, so to speak, to have a day in court, and see after th s right and wrong of it all. Let him W* t<> you, here is a bs.rrel of sugar, 300 pounds, at ten emits, $30. The maker gets so much, the merchant | gets so much, your state tax on it is fifteen cents, your county tax is ten cents, state and county tax together twenty-five cents. Your federal tax is $7.50. You exclaim, $7.50! Yes, he replies, 300 pounds at 2jj cents a pound, that’s $7.50, is it not? Besides this, however, you pair a merchant's profit on tie $7.50, say at twenty per cent., $1.50 more. Really the barrel ought to have cost vouj but $21. The other $9 is direct and incidental tax. The Republicans hare been in power twentythree years. In that time they have suppressed a rebellion'; made all men frau; established the best banking system the country has ever known; paid off more than: hail the national debt enacted a homestead law by which even the poorest can get a farm l or hiraseli' and h s family; declared that ail men shall he free and equal before the law; they hare built up the manufactories of the country, and havedevaloj: - ed the whole land from ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the gulf, with a rapidity thi.t has astonished the world. The Democrats governed the country for fifty year* What did they do in all that time for the betterment of the country or the people? What law did they enact that elevated mankind? What system of finance did they originate that gave to the corns - try a stable currency. Iu short, what single good thing did they do?—[Indiana Pocket. Under Democratic rule this coun

tv acquire cl all us power, greatness and glory; all its territory, oat of which “even the poorest can get a farm for himself and his family,” save poor barren Alaska, for which the Republicans squandered million s of money. And by (he aid of two Democratic soldiers to one Republican soldier the rebellion was suppressed, four millions of slaves emancipa - ted and all men declared free ami eqnal before the law. Since the Republicans came into power the Democrats in congress remonetized silver and put the country on the soundest financial basis it has: ever known. What has the Republican party alone done? It has raised'the bloody shirt opened , the bloody chasm and fomented sectional strife. It has given birth to a Jay Hubbell system of robbing the government employees for campaign purposes, and spawned a. Dorsey soap importation of voters to carry elections. It lias, by a fraudulent vote of eight to seven, perpetrated the greatest swindle of the presen t century, cheating the people out of their choice for .president and vicepreeideitt; And the hist tiring it has done is to “point witli pride” to its history of rottenness and eorrnptioi.

l.S tile. Iffinunl iliiipiiMinn H»»l I »- F<m lowed the treatment of the tariff by Congress many domestic secrets are coining to light. The statement that some families pay as much money for Mgar’as tor tour has been treiitf‘h.as redHbloas, butfit [is not lifer Ffptt the truth. With floor at i»s th four pents* per pound and sugar costing more than ten cents it is quite easy for some families to pay as much fo r sugar as for bread and yet not indi Ige in confectionery. A pound ot sugar per week is uot a large allowai.ee per individual for sweetening tea and coffee, if these beverages are uled/hi average quantity. Fruit* that are stewed or eooked in auv way are cutirely healthy, and should be used more thau they are, but even the homely apple sauce requires a great deal of sugar. Oatmeal, cornmeal 'and various preparations of whgat ate popular in most families where children abound; all are nutritious and cheap, but they also demand sugnr to make them palatable. There is no sauifary objection to the use of sugar in the ways iudieatod, for sugar itnelt*is a highly concentrated nutriment and is not injurious when combined in proper proportions with qthei food. Why, therefore, it should be treated iu the tariff list as a luxury, or why its cost should be eukanced one-third for the sake of protecting American planters who never c*n hope to meet one-fourtli of our heme demand, is inexplicable by auv h'onest course of reasoning. If latv-maKers were intent upon devising a taj-ifl st rictly for revenue there might be seine reasop in taxing overy man's sugar kowH but no such principle oi taxation can hope for any consideration from the present Congress.

Last weeks Pres* contained the fol lowing; Otvtell, [NIC, April s. 1SS4. Sditok Press—The election here yesleittay was one of the nm-t disgraceful aOTnirsthat ever ocenreil in this community. A howling drunken mob took possession of the polls earl; In the morning, ami by systematic lying and biilliluzen? succeeded in disgusting aod disgracing the go >d people of all parties ft was not Democracy hill “nSobocracy” and decent Democrats deplore it as much as Republicans. A reaction basset in and if the election was to occur again to morrow Mr. Steen would bo elected by: au overwhelming majority. As it was he ran 51 ahead of his ticket here and only 3 behind at Algiers. In conclusion we ask the Republicans of Pike connty to nominate him for Treasurer this fall that we may assist in vindicating, his na ne ind wiping out disgrace that rests upon on)- party since yesterdav. Mast Democrats. 'Many Democrats !” indeed. No such stuff as the above ever entered the brain of any democrat. The very idea of any Democrat slopping with stieh gush is as thin of substance as the air. Why Democrats should derive to “vindicate the name” of any Republican by electing him to a county office is past finding out. The above was written bv a Republican! in Democratic clothes, but, like the ass in the sheep’s skin, liis long ears and Ins bray give him away. A bosom friend of Gen. Shenran makes the announcement that the General stands ready to accept the Democratic nomination for President. This confirms our impression that Gen. Sherman is a man who knows, as a ru le which side of his bread is buttered. Still, we doubt if Teoliumsjeh will be the tinnniimons choice of the Democratic party. If the Republicans should nominate Joljn Sherman i of course the temptation would be great for the Democrats to nominate Jus brother and let the two proceed to exterminate each other in their own way. But it will hardly be done. We understand that the Democracy lias another fellow iu view.—Cincinnati Enquirer.._ “It is in my opinion,” says Mr. Jay Gould, “only a question of a very short time when we shall have very little wheat to export. The wheat growing area ot the country is now pretty nearly developed. The yield is large, because the soil is new, but in l a few years the soil will be iess productive. Moreover, with our increase of population from immigration and otherwise, wo will soon const! jne ail the wheat we can produce. Corn, however is our great staple. VVte have practically a monopoly iu it, ml it cau be utilized in more ways thin one. What the Old World does not want in one shape we can give them iu the shape; of pork and bee f.” Blair’s infamous educational hill which is a sort of sop to the Southern Cerberus, passed the Senate Monday. This vicious measure provides for the expenditure of $77,000,000 of the people’s inouey for the alleged purpose ol wiping out illiteracy in the United States, but the real desigu is to gel surplus money out of the Treasury and thus afford a pretext for the retention of our robber tariff taxes, wiiiieli builds up monopolies and weld the chains of slavery tighter sind lighter about the necks ojf the pcdfSk every year. The House ought to kill 1 ho Blair bill as soon as it comes up in that body.

Tie Harbinger of Victory-. [Evansville Courier.J The victories of last Monday in Ey, £u sville and other cities of Indian! hr4 cheered the Democratic lieai-t all over the country. The following from tie Missouri Republican is but one ol id any similar notices that we find ir cm r exchanges: “The result of the local elections in Indiana ii thu harbinger of victory in that pivotal stat< it* at November. Everywhere the returns shoe Ihmocratic successes. The Hoosicr State, tht hone of a cabinet officer and at least two can relates for the Kem>bli*an nomination for tti< Ih' esidency, is in prime condition for the coniinj notional content.
