News from all parts of the Stale go V> show that the Democrats are vtiry •dive and doing good work In the way of organising for the campaign. Will the opposition please confine Its attention to facts about wool just wow, not to the campaign theories of the principle of protection ? ®V looking at the sun through a piece of smoked glass you can diatintJy see the spots on its surface that astronomers are so much agitated about at present. A volume of President Harrison’s -campaign speeches is just, published In Indianapolis, as a campaign document. Uis pledges to the people, w Inch ho lias utterly ignored and forgotten Should he an appendix. “‘See what we have done for the country,” shouts the ruling party. **Seo what the country has been able to do for itself in spite of your infamous legislation,” is the answer.

Senators Voorhecs ami Tttrpie made a splendid light against the infamous Nomination of William A. Woods to the circuit bench. And the senate in giving its consent to this scandalous appointment did so with jits eyes tolly open to Hie iniquity o1 )lie thing.__ The Mexican newspapers are agitating the question of putting erim- . fnals to death by chloroform or swill ]>oisoii. Tlio good Mexicans don’t be* )ieye at all in our method of rapid transit by way of blue lightning. “ We have sared to the people the et.ni of *55,000,ObO a year bv lulling » sugar pn the free list.” is one of the cajnj align cries of lite advocates of McKinley protection.

.Three thousand tons of tin platoon ship board from Wales lor this country! What can that mean ? Haven’t our high-lax campaigners elo.-ed these factories anti turned their workmen out to starve?

The Caar’s Council of Empire hasordered that in the future two grain depots shali he established to every 300 peasants’ huts.and that from these depots seed corn shall be distributed in the spring to the peasants, who must return it in the autumn. Special bureaus will bo established to take care of the situation in case Hie crops fail. A despotic government (to save itself) will do everything except give its people freedom and a chance to make a living,lor themselves. The frantic madness of the high taxers in the bouse because the democrats wisely conclude^to knock the props from under their pet measure one bv one and two by two, in so plain a manner that the peoplu will understand just what is getting hit and precisely what it means to (Item, was exemplified by Itepresent alive Dingley’s speech lately. His taunts that they promised to wreck the whole la\f and dare not do it, show imtf the thrice-taxed wool exposures cut home. Americairresidents of Paris will give Minister Reid a grand blow-out and testimonial on his departure, presenting a series of resolutions laudatory of his good work; among others of these is mentioned his heroic labors to free works of art from a MeKinlev tax—which lie failed to accomplish, though the eulogy does not recite that. As has been said, Mr. Reid wilt need to have his proltib-Hvc-proteetion spirtitual strength renewed before he can join his old party in their revels even to the extent of a stool in the Tribune office. Senator McMillan puts a great deal of meaning in few words when he lays: The laborer lias l>een forced to pay more for the roof that shelters him, for the hat that covers his head and Hie woolens that cover his hack. He has iiad to pay more for the linen lie wears, the hammer and hoe witli which he works. Yet his wages have not gone up ono cent? What benefit lias increased protection been to hint ? Tons of brilliant fine spun theories cannot meet the cold logic of facts. The “Odd Fellow’s Grand “March’ and (lie “Air Ship Walt*" are two o/ thelatcst compositions of Isaac Doles, Indianapolis Iud. Both are musical gents. They comprise five pages each sheet music size, besides illustrated title pages, not difficult in execution but beautiful in eotp posit ion, and sell at 40 cents each. By way of introduction Mr. Doles will mail them to any address on receipt of ten.cents caelt, when accompanied by this notice.

If the (senate refuses to consider the Woods'appointiMcnt in open session will it also refuse to permit the eviflcnce taken by tlie judiciary committee to bo published for the information or the country ? If so, it will become necessary for the house of representatives to undertake a public investigation. If the senate confirms this nomination, as it doubtless will, under the plea qf.“party necessity” the country must know all the damnins' tacts of which the senate has been advised and which it must Ignore when it consents to the reward of Dud ley’s savior. Of all the lines of social separation between man and man in a civilized Boininunity,that of mere wealth is the most unfortunate the most demoralizing, the moat anti-social, the most langerons-totlto siate. It cannot...he srased, but it should be the constant ?ffori of every good cit izen to ignore it -or make 111 tie of it. The worship rf wealth, simply as wealth ha* already almost become a national dissase. It has killed almost every oth HP form cf distinction.

Writing iu the March Forum about tire possibilities of better roads, Col. A. A. Pope says: ‘‘I would have each statu by a legislative enactment do at once two or three Ihiags in the direction of this movement, via: Procure and disseiuintat« information by establishing a bureau where the facts relating to the expense, mechanical c< n-traction, care,durability, use and extent of the different kinds of roads sltull he known and ascertained ; then I would have some kind ol stale supervision and advisory assistance by a competent ehgotieer or engcueers appointed by the stale in aid ol road and bridge building and reparing upon scientific principles and upon a comprehensive und economical plan for the whole state thiidlv, I would have tlie state either own or control and maintain some through highways, connecting the principal towns in the state, and connected these with the principal towns of neighboring states, where they aro most needed, either for great public exigencies or for tfee greatest general use. Tire state would thus promote tlie cquali zation and tlie geaeral reduction of expense ot construction and maintenance of these main roads, and would give a profitable exampte anti a sOTmg incentive to the aig^ccut towns to construct belter contributory roads as feeders to (lie main ones. 1 would liaye the state divide the expenses of this scheme of road betterment in tin? tax,levy, so that part of it should be appointed to tlie whole state, part to the counties through wliich tlie roads run. and part to the towns. And, further, 1 would have thi< tax levy kept small and the investment adequate and quickly made by the business man’s method of borrowing tlie money on long loans. It would thus be easily paid out of tlie profits by those sharing them.” World’s Fair Business. Pour Bids Received For Oustrictlng Indiana’s Building.

Small Farm*. So marked Is the tendency in thin : country 49 cover a lahgc area with a small capatal that it might properly be termed an Americanism. We are especially convinced of the truth of this when We understand that in no other country is this mode of procedure employed by the Tanning clasos. * To, I he American farmers the vlcisittides sometime following agricultural pursuits entail nothing.appareiitly more Impossible t han the a bridgemen l of his ideas, the disposal of a I sort ion of the farm, and adapting himself to things on a small scale. To own a vast tract of farming land, and to apply to it a management proportionately extensive, have been part of the farmer’s education both by precept and example. He has learned, not so much to give vigilant care to small daily excuses, as to the calculation of net profits that will accrue to lii.n from his soil productions at the end of the year. These mistaken ideas can only rc,still in one wnj, and the failures might serve as warnings to point out a lalse system, but they are not often so regarded, As this country progresses small farms will he considered not only a necessity, but (lie most profitable in, t lie end. Auicricans would do well to look into the mode of farming employed in European countries especially into those of Holland and France. Farming there lias been reduced to a science, and front their economically planted, well drained and fertilized patches they produce as much as is in this country on land treble the a rea.

In the earlier history of this country, ami especially in the south where labor was cheap and plentiful, there was some show of reason for the purchase of Urge bodies of cheap farming lauds, though to a man of inadequate capital the reasons against it, then and now, are the same. In the past few years.the increased value of well located farming lands, the uncertainty amt high price of labor,and the growing necessity for fertilizing, have formed a combination exceedingly menacing to tlie purchasers of large funis, on deferred pay incuts,sonic 01 which are dependent oh prospective crops. When a man of limited capital buys a small farm within Ids purchase money, and refuse to he led off by the enticing prospects of a larger one on long payinentsjn excessot immediate capital, he gives evidence of rare wisdom which mil often teceivus I lie indorsement it deserves. It is not the size of the farm that insures success, lint the economical laying out and intelligent care it receives. It is said that Cincinnati!-, was called from the plow to the throne, and that his management of seven acres of la-nd gave hint the Iteputation of being the most successful farmer’iti the kingdom. Let no man regard it as beneath hi in to begin on a few acres of land to make a living. Let him give it attention, eiifirgy and patience, ami he will succeed. If lie is deficient in these qn'.ifiualions, he would only be a failure in Whatever he attempted.— Industrial American. When Bab; was sick, we gave her Castoria.

Now these hiah-minilcd and aristocratic indivduals mean' to stir the pride ot vti>rkinj*'people to prepare them for a* advanced price on woolen goods. The great financier, day Gould, understood the shuatioirinprier than the pvliticaus. lie said. u Where a man has lion “li t two coats in a year, lie must now he content with one.” These aphorisms are quoted direct from the published words of these leaders of party policy.. How well did they forecast the future, when added taxation on people’s coals, carpets and blankets was to bring them renewed prosperity? The price of raw wool has gone down instead ol up*- It is printed in official record that'the cheap man is multiplying in i|timbefit, as is shown by the deterioration of goods, the growth of the Shoddy industry even to an increase dn importation of the stuff. In 1860 there acre in this country 30 shoddy establishments, with an attuual product of 402,500 pounds. The slioddv.pmduced in the United Slates, in 1800 will amount to 100,000,000 pounds, producecd by ninety-four mills. The scoured wool produced in that i oar amounted to only 92,000,000 pounds. With what kind of a story will they faco these “cheap men in cheap coats” in the campaign of ’92? They are voters, and the parly needs them. t’OUFOKATIOJf NOTICE.

It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic: But I sec in the near future a crisis arising that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow. The Money Power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people unfit all wealth is aggregated in a few hsndsi end the Republic destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war." There is no disguising the feet, that the condition now confronts as which caused the-patriot Lincoln so much anxiety. A money power controls political parties and ail important elections, placing its agents in high places of honor and trust. The same power controls all legislation and dictates what shall be th< law of the land, a result made possible and easy by “ working upon the prejudice of the people "’ through the medium of the public press, of which ninety-' nine out of every hundred are cither owned in full or part, or controlled by its agency. The political contest of 1802 will again test the strength of this money power, diilereut from previous efforts oulv in its greater virulence and ability to deceive. Like an oasis iu the desert, tin Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer rises equal to the emergency, placing befon its readers unbiased truth and fact so harmful to corruptionists’ plans, and beneficial to the people. “Truth if mighty and will prevail,” is the Eu quirer platform. It is always great comfort to read the Enquirer.
