The Republicans are expecting to buy the county away from us this year as they did two years ago, Will Democrats permit them to do it? It is believed that in case George West, of Warrick eonnty, is elected Recorder, he will likely become a permanent resident of Pike county.

Vote for a change. __ Obb formers will bear in mind that it wasn’t under free trade that wheat wae reduced to sixty cents a bushel; it was under, the highest tariff we ever paid.

of land within the last twenty years? The it (-publican party. It is no slander to say that it would be a disgrace to this Nation and a sad commentary on the intelligence of its people to hate placed in the Presidential chair such a man as James G. Blaine.. Don't forget that there is cash in the treasury to the amount of $425,000,000, when it ought to be in the channels of trade. And still the war taxce go on. But wheat is only six ty cents. ._ Tire Republicans have abandoned New York and will concentrate their efforts on Indiana. Democrats, you must wateb now ok they will do yon dirt and steal a victory. Do your duty as freemen. Vote for a Democratic Board of counie. •toners, and atop the Increase of the county debt. There are millions-of idle money in the na tional treasury, wrung from the people by war taxes. The money ought to be in the channels of trade, and if it were, wheat would be more than sixty cents. Wx would appeal to Democrats to see that the election boards are made np of good men, as we are positive the Republicans are preparing to do all the dirt they can. Watch the board% especially in Republican townships. Also see that Democrats are present to watch the connt. Thus is a year when victory depends upon hard work, unceasing effort, united action. Their dose np the ranks. See that the leaders are in their places and every man in hue. Do not allow a single vote to be lost. Act upon the theory: a victory can be won by effort, but not withou t itVole for a Democratic Board of eommtesioaers, and stop the increase of the county dels. At the national conventions of the two parties: The Republicans said Blaine could carry Ohio by 50.000l The Democrats said Ohio was a Republican State, and Thurman was not nominated because the chances were that his own State would defeat him. Not long since the Press said that the county lost nothing by the defalcation of Whitman. In this it is mistaken, for all the receipts that came in after the settlement with his bondsmen were a clear loss to the county. On the duplicate of 1876 alone the loss is now known to be $1,107.55. We Will in dne time publish the total loss. Evert Democrat should consider that it is his duty to assist in carrying Pike county Tuesday. No man should stand back and say, “Oh, they haven’t called me," but should come to the front with his influence. Every Democrat is needed to do the work. Meetings should be held in every township in the county every night from now Until the election. Personal work is : the demand of the hour.

Monster meetings and great processions are excellent political agencies, but as election approaches there is much more important work to be done. Look alter tour own neighborhood. Make converts in your own election district. An average gain of even one or two in a polling; place means a great majority. Let every influential Democrat look alter his own district. Don’t wait nntil election day to do your work abont your poll. Vote to stop the payers *9 per day expart who is doing nothing for receiving the county's money. Scratch the Republican oommliisiBnoTi that will stop it. Ax honest indorsement from a political advasary: Mr. Clevaland is not a politician. He neither evades, nor shuffles, nor talks doable. His speech is straightforward, honest, and sincere. He has nothing to conceal, and he meets thorns who come to see him with the s^me candor of utterance on political questions that he would employ in talking abont the weather. His spjcch all through shows conservative unpartisan character.”—[St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Workingmen wiU bear in mind that the Democratic house of the last congress passed a bill prohibiting the importation of cheap foreign labor under contract; and they win also remember that a Republican senate killed the bill. They will remember, further, that the same Democratic house passed a Mil to restore to the government millions of acres of unearned railroad lands, which bill was also killed by the neglect, or something worse, of the same Republican senate. And yet the Republicans set np the claim that their party is the only friend of the laboring man. Stats Statistician PeeUe furnishes the following statement of the crops of Indiana for ISM: Acres of wheat 2,990311; bushels; 40331,m Corn, acres, 3437,840; bushels 80159,799.

Tub attention of tax-piycre is called to the article headed MS0SU4, which we reproduce. It shown how extravagantly county, affaire ha ve been managed Head and weigh those facts and llgures. Cast your ballots to stop that mismanagement Vote for a Democratic Board of Commissioners. Tux securities of Whitman will, if J. L. Evans is elected Commissioner, present a large claim against the coun ty st the December term, 1884, and it is generally understood that Mr. Johnson will allow almost anything asked for by Republicans. Now, in view of this, would it not he well enough to ask Mr. ISvans before voting for him, If he will allow the claim should he he elected Commissioner. If the claim 1s just it is barted by statute, and! therefore, if allowed it must be by mere grace. To mat e sure work, however, better vote for Mr. Abbott. Mjl J. W. Richakdoon authorizes us to say to the voters of Pike county that neither he, nor his friends, will ask the Commissioners to dismiss the suits now pending against him. That, so far as he is concerned, he does not cant who is elected Commissioners, they will have nothing whatever to do with those suits. That Mr. Johnson will be Commissioner afty way until December, 1885, and that Mr. France is one of his (Richardson’s) bondsmen, and therefore, ought not mil will not consent to a dismissal of those suits. And, furthermore, Mr. Richardson is not afraid of the final results. However, Is thinks the election of the Republican ticket in Pil e county would lie an indorsement of high wages, via.: Eighteen Do LEAKS FEB DAT. Unfo rced idleness means want and distress among those who live by the labor of their hands. To assume that the condition of things which has been reached under tllu» present Republican system is the best that is attainable must appear obsurd to intelligent inquirers. Suppose there is over-production In the United States, the population of this country Is but an inconsiderable fraction of the commercial world. While the United States has 50,000,000 of people, there art on the globe l,4CIO.COOtOOO. There I is no over-supply as to others, even if it should be conceded that there is here. Let our commerce be untrammelled. Liberalize our intercourse vviith the world. Thera could then be j no such thing as over-production. ; There could then never arise any necessity for enforced idleness among our producers, and closed shops and silent machinery while supply should adjust itself to demand. How does the high tariff affect the farmer? Let us see. It is estimated | that the total surplus of agricultural products for sale in the United States over the home consumption of farms and plantations is alntut $1,600,000,000, while the home consumption, outside of farms aud plantations, is $1,0510,000,000 or a little over 61 per cent of the surplus outside of said forms and plantations’ consumption, leaving $630,000,000or near39 percent, for export abroad. iLgain, we learn flrom a recent report of the national bureau of statistics that about 93 per cent of the exports of bread-stuff: from the United States consists of

products of the western end northwestern states. And when to these exports are added those of cattle, cotton, and provisions, it will be found that liilly 90 per cent Of the entire exports of the country ;ue the products of the agricultural sections of the union. Now what dees the logic of these figures teach? Simply, that the lrestern and northwestern states,—the great agricultural region,—are the exporting states of tltfi country, while if not nearly their entire surplus for export depends upon a foreign market et least the foreign m arket determines Its value. Indeed, the eastern states ere thus simply living upon the western; for whereas the western states are subsidized to support the manufacturers of the eastern states, which, the protectionists claim, would aerish without subsidy, it is on the foreign market, not on the home, that the entire agricultural sections of the anion depend for the realization of their living profits. In the first place that foreign market takes 90 per cent. <nf all our disposable property outside the consumption of Ihc whole country, and ia.the second place—and what la of still greater imjportauce—it fixes the price of the enti re consumption of our agricultural products, both that consumed nt home and that consumed abroad. Thus is the west and the northwest bled,—1 ret, to sustain the subsidized manufacturers of the country, and, secondly, to meet the competition of the agriculturists in those states in which manufacturers are sustained at the expiyt of the farmers of the west and northwest. Ponder these figures, farmers, and then stop to tell yourselves what remuneration or return you set for this bleeding process, which is the natural sequence of the Republican policy of protection—and then you will be able protection—and then you will be abli to answer, intelligently, the questkn tint begins this paragraph. The Tariff Tax. [Public Fim) A tariff that favors the rich am robs the poor ought to be revised, bu that is what protectionists call “fao The tariff tax on diamonds is just 10 per cent; on salt, 66 per cent.; or rice 66 per cent. ; on woolen skirti and blankets, 88 and 90 per cent.; oi hate, 76 percent.; sugar, 60 per cent, 62 per cesl.; onflauuel, 8f percent.; and plain cupa and saucers ftCti used ou the poor man\table, 40 __ cent. When the Democratic party aski for an equalization of this unjust tarif desire to lighten the hardens oi and The people, however, can see tin point and also the difference in thi tariff on the rich man’s diamond am on the poor man’* salt.

The ticket nominated by the Democracy of this county last May and which will be voted for by the people on next Tneeday, is a remarkably strong one, and satisfactory to the Democratic voters of this county, as well as all liberal-minded voters. The candidates are capable in every respect Not one is wanting in the requisites necessary to fill the respective offices. From first to last, the ticket is one that any man can support and rest assured that the administrations of the offices to which these men may be elected will be honest, upright and just It is the soldier’s ticket—four serving in the late war. Hox. Lemuel R. Habqrave, the nominee for Representative for this and Dubois counties, ie a former and mechanic by profession, possesses good, strong common sense, knows the needs of the people, and will be a credit to Pike and Dubois eounties in the Legislature. lie served in the war of the rebellion (Qo. L, 58tli Iudn) as did three others mentioned below. William J. Shrode, , our candidate for Sheriff, is wellknown by the people of the county, a man of strong characteristics—justice, determination, and a man foithfbl to duty. He answered bis country’s call and was upon the field of battle in the late war, in the 91st Ind. No duty devolving upon him, in whatever walk of life, has he shirked—always foithfbl to every man as to his government. As Sheriff of this county he will serve the people, and thev can truthfully say, good and foithfbl servant. He is deserving, and should be given a support that will secure his election beyond a doubt. Frederick H, Poetkbb ia the candidate for Treasurer, and will make an able successor to onr present efficient Treasurer. Mr. Ftoetker is a gentleman whose abilhv and integrity is of the highest order; he is qualified for the position he will be called |o fill by the votes of the people. He is the third ex-soldiar on this ticket, serving in the 65th Ind. Joseph C. Ridge, candidate for Recorder, is eminently deserving; and possesses the proper qualifications. A cripple since his boyheod, he is compelled to walk on crutches. The people will never regret placing the Recorder’s office in the hands of thia gentleman, and wc are of the opinion that they will so decide on next Tuesday. Peaks R. Bildebback, for Surveyor, is a young man, of good character and education and excel- [ lent business qualifications, and will | bring to the position a degree of fit- | ness that will prove an Ifenor to himself and the people. He is a first-class surveyor. Prat S. Withers, for Coroner, is known by erery man in the county; he has made a foithfbl officer, and can have the office jnst as long as he wants it. He has noopposition. William J. Abbott, the nominee for Commissioner from the First District, is a successful former of Jefferson township. He is folly qualified, and a man who successfully manages his own affairs can be relied upon to do the same In the affoirs of the county. He is a safe man. Edward 1L Reedt, the nominee for Commissioner from the Seeoud District, is one of the best and most popular formers in Clav township. He is a man that the people will feci safe in giving such an important trust; a man whose eom- | petency can not he questioned. With | Mr. Reedy a member of the Board. I the people will have an economical administration of county affairs—one that will be relief to the tax-payers and a credit to the county. Like'Mr. Hargrave, MrJfoetkerandMr. Shrode, Mr. Reedy was a soldier in the late war. The 91st Indiana was Mr. Reedy’s regiment

Judge Welborn MM. [Jasper Cornier.] Last week we published as assertion made by C. A. Busk irk. Esq., in regard to the feeling of Mr. Evaus, of the Princeton Democrat, and others, towards the Democratic nominee for Judge, Hon. Oscar M. Welborn. We were almost sure at the time that Mr. Bnskirk was mistaken, as we had never known Mr. Evans to act the hypocrite, and couldn't well understand how any man, wishing to be considered a firm Democrat, could privately or publicly oppose a Democratic nomination regularly made, where eTery county had feirly instructed for its favorite. By the following letter from Mr. Evans, it will be seen the Republicans will get as little encouragement from the gallant Democracy of Gibson as from Duboi-. Democrats in this couutv will vote the ticket “solid.” Pkixcetox, Ix»n Oct list, 1884. Fkiknd Doaxe,—In you paper of the 17th, in noticing Um fact that Hon. C. A. Bnskirk. of this county, had been in Dubois county working against the election of Judge O. MWdbwm, this sentence occurs: “He f Buskirk] says that Mr. Evans of the Princeton Democrat, is at heart opposed to Judge Welborn, though Ids paper don't mow it*If Mr. Buskirk gave you such information he had no grounds for so doing. He well knew that the resolutions Introduced into our couuty convention endorsing Judge Welborn and Instructing the delegates from Gibson county to the Judicial convention to cast the vote of the eountv for him, were written and presented by myself. He also knew that 1 have through the columns of the Democrat repeatedly endorsed Judge Weiborn aa an honest, upright man, conscientious iu all his acts, and one of the beat Circuit Judges in the 8tate. Farther Mr. B. has known the writer long enough to know that he is no “hypocrite,” and that were he opposed to Judge Welborn, his paper—the Democrat—would publicly proclaim the feet. If it was Mr. B.’t object to make it appear that there is any considerable dissatisfaction among the Democracy in this county, against Judge Welborn, we can assure you such is notthe ease, as the rote of Gibson county on the 4th of November will •how. He will carry Gibson county by a handsome majority. I .ask you to give this denial of Mr. BuaklrkV assertion against myself; a place in your columns, that I may bo placed in the proper light before the Democracy of Dubois county. True 1 have but a limited acquaintance iu your county, but I do not wish to stand in the position Mr. B. has placed me by bis assertion—that of being a “hypocrite” and blowing both “hot and cold.” 1 am for Judge Welborn, and every other Democratic nominee, for whom I shall have Yo pril[Je£ ofvotiog. Yours, W. H. Evans, Editor Princeton Democrat.

$49,025.14! The Press has bad much to say in praise of the countv commissioners for their cconoraical( ?) administration of county affairs. Some time ago the Dkxocbat published the Amts and figures, showing that for two years the gffairsof the county have been extravagantly managed; that the county debt had increased at an alarming rate, we showed that from 1878 to 1882. under a Democratic administration, that the debt was decreased from $35,000 to $28,000, and that the debt from 1882 to June 1st, 1881, under a Republican administration, had increased to over $40,ooa Hie Press published a report prepared by Messrs. Taylor and Fleener, of all theoutstandiug orders June 1st, 1884. The report of Messrs Taylor ami Fleener was correct; but it was what it purported to be, Vi*.; “The amount of the outstanding orders June 1st, 1881,” without computing the interest on the orders; or in other words, it was the principal of the debt onlv, represented by the county orders then issued. Now, to arrive at the exact amount of the county debt, take the outstanding orders as shown by Taylor St Fleener s report, as published in the Press of last week, add to them the interest at 6 per eent from the date of their issue to June 1st, 1884. Then to that amount add all the allowances by the Board at its June session, as it is part of the debt up to that time. Tho following are the outstanding orders for the several fiscal years from 1867 to 1883 inclusive—the principal of the county debt and the interest thereon, to which is added the June, 1881, allowances. The lota) is the county indebtedness Jane, 1,1881.

The indebtedness is much larger than we thought it was, and the rapid strides it has made iu the last two years alarms ns, as we are sate it alarms every tax-payer in the county. Tax-payers, this is a question we are all interested in, and you should carefully investigate it. The above is correct. You can read and judge for yourself. Do you propose to continue men in office (Johnson, present commissioner, is a candidate for rejection) who have managed the county funds iu this bad manner ? You can see how plain it is. County indebtedness iu 1882, under a Democratic administration—$28,000: 1881, under a Republican administration over $49,008—note the difference, and that the debt will contiuue to increase under the preset state of affairs. Attention, Greembaekers t The Indianapolis Sun, the Greenback organ, exposes the treachery of a few men who are attempting to sell the National vote to the Republicans. It gives the whole thing, away. The Nationals of this county will not allow themselves to be sold out iu the way the following article details. Listen to what the 8un, the Greenback paper, says:

We bare reliable information that a aet of men calling themselves Grcenbackers in Indianapolis have organized in the interest of the Republican party to repeat the sell-out Sine that was attempted in 1876. icy claim to be acting under the instruction of General Butler and Colonel Plyinpton, his' manager, j They have been sending secret agents j throughout the State instructing i Greenbaekers to vote the Republican ! ticket, aud will this week send out a I paper called the “Globe," the same ! paper that had a short existence and was finally merged into the “Dawn,** which was denounced by the Greenback leaders all over the State until it ceased to exist. The Globe wilt be edited by the Paymaster General of the Plumed Knights of Columbia, a Blaine and Logan Club of Indianapolis, pretending to advocate General Butlers election, bnt privately instructing Grcenbackers to knife the Butler electors and vote the Republican electoral ticket. These men are operating with Solon Chase, of Maine, aud are Fa the pay of the Republican Committee. The scheme has been denounced by such Grcenbackers as General James B. Weaver, of Iowa; Governor Begote and General W. P. Innis, of Michigan; Hon. E. II. Gillette* of fowa, Chairman of the National Greenback Committee, and Major Milroy, Colonel A. T. Bliss, Hon. Richard Gregg, Hon. John S. Bender, Hon. B. F. Shively, candidate for Congrcaaia the Thirteenth District; William B. Mohter, Esq* of Shelby county, and William Sears, Esq^ of Hancock connty, and James R. Hightshue and Hon. Peter A. Canary, of Miami county, all promint Indiana Greenbaekers. The' infamous move in the interest of the Republican party must be exposed, so that the honeat Gieenbackers may be informed of the contemplated treachery.” Enforce the Law.
