The Courier adds: “As the latter ueeds only five votes from Vanderburg, his nomination on the first ballot by a good majority seems to be assured.” Howeve r, Menzies' friends are active for him, a nd the end is not vet, they say. ._ Uncle Sam welcomes in his domain 3,200 babies a day, not counting those who eome by sea.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF. The following paragraph from the Philadelphia Times is worthy of consideration by the laboring men who have been deluded with the idea that high wages in this country are due to the tariff: “Who brought to our land these willing dupes of such murderous Anarchists as Most ana Spies? They are not brought here by our naturalized workingmen; they were brought here by the suieidai greed of mean American corporations and other large employers, who hoped to obtain cheaper labor. They scoured the slums ot the Old World for laborers who, as they have conclusively demonstrated, will ontstrike all American strikers, and when they start in revolutionary action are utterly regardless of life, property, or law.” It is a matter of much concern to the laboring'tQan to decide whether the tariff is due to high wages or whether high wages are due to the tariff. An investigation of the question from the standpoint of history will show that high wages were in the beginning urged as an argument in favor of a protective tariff. In the early days of the Republic, when the IIrat tariff was adopted, the argument was that the rewards from agricultural service were so profitable and the attractions of free lands were so great, that in order to get men to turn from the fields to the factory the manufacturer would be compelled to offer the same rewards; that if he were forced to pay a laborer as much as he could earn in clearing the land, or in cultivating it, wages would be higher in America than in Europe, and the Americau manufacturer would be at

a disadvantage. In order therefore to counteract the “evil” eflect of cheap lands and a free government the tariff was imposed. It was imposed not to make wages high, but because wages were already high. And so the trriff tempted men to abandon profitable for less profitable vocations and the people paid the piper. So much for historical argument; we see that high wages preceded the tariff and could not therefore be due to the tariff. Moreover, from everyday observation, we roach the same conclusion. Manufacturers are very much like other men. Among them you find exactly the same number as elsewhere of good men and bad; of fools and philanthropists; of patriots and plunderers. If the tariff increased the price of labor—if it compelled the manufacturers to pay high wages— they would be opposed to the tarifl' unanimously. The manufacturers could not be expected to uphold a system which they knew forced them to pay high wages. They uphold it because, being compelled b~ other circumstances to pay high wages, they want to recover from the consumer this loss. So the manufacturers, as a rule, uphold the tariff. Workingmen do you believe your employers are so kiud-hearted that they do this at their own loss for your sole benefit? Still further, when the man ifaeturer wishes to increase the price of woolen goods he puts a tax on all woolens which are imported. When he wishes to advance tho ptice of iron he puts a tax on iron. When he wishes to keep up high prices on any article he puts a tax ou the importation of that article. If he really wishes to keep up wages, the price of labor, he would put a tax ou all imported labor. Laborers, you will not find the only article you have to sell on the tax list. Everything yon want to buy is taxed. The free list is very small, but on the free list is labor. The law forbids you to buy a woolen hat in England or a blanket. If you do buv them you must pay a line at the custom-house. But vonr employer thinks wages are too high._ He " concludes to buy his labor abroad. He will import it to reduce vour wages. The tariff permits this. No taxation on imported labor is thought of; so he directly imports it, sometimes at the rate of 750,XX) persons a year. This is a strange condition of affairs, my brethren. Surely some huge confiSence game has been played for a century past. Protending to protect labor, the tariff leaves labor alone unprotected. Crying out against the IVee importation of goods made by the pauper labor of Europe tho manufacturers- have without restraint been importing pauper labor itself, in this way relieving the labor markets abroad, but flooding our own. Down with the war tariff!

Alex. Herox, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, has prepared a table showing the estimated gross value of the products of Indiana for 1885, as follows: Wheat $27,210.474; corn, $34,630,174; oats, $6,307,008; barley, $82,869; rye, $250,252; buckwheat, $40,053; Irish potatoes, $2,088,549; sweet potatoes, $137,946; flax seed, $198,371; clover seed, $1,105,225; timothy seed, $57,335; clover hay, $13,080,084; timothy hay, $15,096,551; flax straw, $60,000; tobacco, $1,104,268; wood, $922,435; coal and quarries, $3,703,412} gardens, $5,074,629; orchard, $3,750,320; dairy, $11,758,390; poultry, eggs and feathers, $4.973,461; honey, sorghum, maple molasses and sugar, $5,903,741; hogs, slaughtered, $19,225,170; sheep, slaughtered; $278,845; cattle, slaughtered, $8,418,270— making the total value of the proiucte, $160,908,713. The State Superintendent has made ho semi-annual apportionment of ichool revenue for tnition. The total imount of revenue roceiTcd flrom the winties is $924,926.47; the amount on •and in the State Treasury, including ho State’s interest ou non-neogotia-jle bonds, is $136,954.77, which makes i total for apportionment of $1,061,582 24.

POLITICAL PICJC-LPS. The Knox county Democratic ticket is a strong one from top to bottom, and will be elected by a, good majority, as it deserves to be. The Prohibitionisfs have a full State ticket nominated. As Republicans and Democrats are ret to nominate, there will be three tickets suie this fall in the field, in this State, to be voted for. 1,826, and as the National vote was 131, how can the g. o. p. make such “concessions F Were the Republicans afraid of the 1,883 Democratic votes, which number was cast iu 1884? The Nationals were given places on the ticket, only to discover before many weeks that their candidates have the least show of suet-ess, while a desperate effort will be made to save two Republicans on the ticket. Mark this prediction 1 Thomas S. Smith is a candidate for County Clerk, and will submit his name to the convention, Saturday. Ilis announcement app?ars elsewhere in this paper. Mr. Smith has residtd in Pike county twenty years and is well knowu to our people. For a number of years he served iu the capacity of miller at Augusta and Petersburg and his acquaintance is extensive, which will aid him in the cauvass he is now making. Ex-Speaker Chas. L.. Jewett, is of the opinion that the Democrats will have a good working majority iu the next general assembly, and that they will also carry the State. He does not believe that the dissatisfaction with the administration will materially affect the election . He regards high liquor license as a business problem—uot a political question. He is inclined to considered it as he would any other matter of taxation.

The Seventh District Convention. The bolt at the' Indianapolis convention last Thursday is the talk of all Hoosierdom. A bit ter and purely selfish opposition had been made to the renominatiou of Congressman Bynum, led bv Hon. Will E. English. The convention was the hottest ever known in the district, and the largest attended. After the By nUm men had secured the organization of the convention, and pending a call of the roll upon the adoption of the rules governing the convention, a motion was made to adjourn, put, and declared carried by an anti-Bynum delegate, on the floor of the convention, after the chair had decided that the motiou to adjourn during a roll call was out of order; and the anti-By-num men, led by the junior English and John W. Kern, left the convention. The bolters then placed Senator Leon Bailey, of Marion county, in the field for congress without a pretense of loll call, and ij; is not known how many of the bolting delegates were present; an Indianapolis paper .states that everybody was a delegate in the “rump” convention. The regular convention, after the bolt, renominated Mr. Bvnnm, by a vote of 75, for Bynum, and forjudge Turpie. 60(a majority) beiug necessary to nominate. The bolters say that Mr. Bailey will remain on the track, and we have a personal statement from Mr. Bynum that he went into the convention to abide by. its results, and now that he was fairly renominated no power on earth can take him oil' the track. Ho has letters from men prominent in shaping the affairs of the district and State urging him to hold the fort. He proposes to do that, and the contest there will attract attention all over the State, as it will have much bearing on the State and Legislative tickets. The bolt was un-Democratic, and whatever the result may be, the malconteuts have made the worst break of their lives.

Baptizing^ Four or five persons were baptised at Gray church last Sunday. At Old Pilgrim next Sunday one hundred aud thirty people are to be baptised. A goodly number of people on the bauks of White river, near \Vm. Merrick’s farm, on last Sunday evening, witnessed the baptism of ten persons by immersion and sovoral by sprinkling and pouring on. The pool on the farm ot Wm. Robling rivals in attractiveness and propriety almost any place for the purpose of baptism. On last Sunday Revs Richardson and Oliphant administered the ordinance of baptism by immersion to forty-eight persous in the presence of about one thousand persons. It was a lovely sight to look upon, when a beautiful girl, arrayed in snow white entered the water; after the little Christian came up from the water she was taken in the arms of Rev. Richardson and'set upon the shore with the tenderness of a father. The ceremony was impressive throughout. One Flag, One Country. The Chicago licrald expresses the opinion of a great many good men besides its editor when it says: It is pertinent here to remark that there are altogether too many flags in use in this country, and the one flag which should at all times bo uppermost is too often displayed, if at all, subordinately to that of some foreign potentate or power. As the red flag symbolizes blood and destruction, so the standards of European monarchies represent tyrany aud class rule. The oue should lie as hateful to Americans as tho other. Not one of them belongs here and no good reasou can bo given why they should ever be displayed. The American flag w ill be more admired and more admirable when none of tho people of whose sovereiguity It is typical: persist jn dragging around the royal standards which they have de sorted and

Our singing school is improving the vocal music in our church. Prof. Felix McGinnis is the proficient teacher. * Lelia, iourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Berneu, died on Monday evening, May 31st, of consumption. There does not seem to be much enthusing over the ticket nominated last Saturday. The head of the ticket fails the flattest. Our Suuday School is the very best in the county, and is accomplishing much good, as is evidenced by the elevated tons of ths morale of the entire neighborhood. Albert A. Meadows went to Oakland City Tuesday to get a position as clerk m a store. He is a good business man. and any man who needs a clerk will do well to emplov him. The tattlers have been circulating falsehoods about our prominent citizens. Oh! for shame on such creatures to circulate such bare-faced falsehoods to the detriment of good citizens Our young people are on tip t$b of expectation, as the air is full of rumors of the approaching nuptials of at least four couples.

The important article on the Biitish Jfavv, by Sir Edward Reed, whieh attracted much attention in the February Harper’s, and the description ot the Krupp establishment in March, will be followed in the June number by a timely paper on the U. S. Navy, by Rear-admiral Edward Simpson, of the Navy Department at Washington, with a large number of excellent illustrations. The history of our navy is briefly sketched, and the record is one that Uncle Sam need not be ashamed of. But as one reads of its present deplorable condition, every patriot must regiet the indifference and stagnation which have left ns far behind the age. Previous to last year our navy consisted only of thirty-five wooden ve - sels, two iron sloops of war, and a few old primitive monitors. In 1883 the construction of three steam-ei nisers and a dispatch boat, with steel plates, was authorized. These vessels are the Chicago, Boston, and Atlanta, which are nearly finished, and the Dolphin, now doiug service. With the construction of these vessels the manufacture of steel plates for ships began in this country. This feeble array constitutes the present naval force of the United States. We have not one armor-clad man-of-war (the old single-turreted monitors not being considered as having any efficiency), and the ordinance and equipments are ridiculously behind the age. It would be impossible for us to cope even with some of the smaller powers in our own hemisphere, and the naval armaments ot Europe make our deficiency a humiliation. Public opion is stirring Congress to action, and the article Hlentious some important improvements which are in operation. It is to be hoped that this able paper will hasten the adjustment of our navy to the Age of Steel. The Cure for Gossip. What is the cure for gossip ? Simply culture. There is a great deal of gossip that ijas no malignity in it. Good natured people talk about their neighbors because and only because they have nothing-else to talk about. The habitual, confirmed gossip is always either malicious or ignorant. Reading isa safeguard against gossip. People who can talk of books do not have to talk of persons. When you see a family in which good literary magazines and newspapers are taken, you see ouc where there is little gossip.—Ex.
