4L..L— .i/ - - - - — There is no question but what Petersburg is just as good a city as there is in Southern Italians for manufacturing purposes. The couuty is very well suppltefl. with almost all kinds of timber, and with irs vast ,coal fields fuel is but a very small object. It is the center of cheap fuel. It is thecenteif of the timber district. The White river bottoms furnish some very excellent timber, while the Patoka bottoms are also heavily timbered. A good slack barrel factory, hub factory, spoke factory, or .coiled hoop works would be a paying investment. There is no question ahout it. The timber is ejp hausttcss and can be had. at a very small cost* This timber has no market at the present time, and for years elm and kindred trees have been cut down and burned. A gentleman spoke to The Democrat man a few days since, while he was in the northern part ot the state iu regard to a location in this section, and he will visit this city sometime this fall with a view of seeking a location. Ilaisa responsible man and has been engaged in the timber business for years. If the place suits him he will locate and employ a number ot hands. We are sure that when he looks over the field he will locate and become a citizen. More factories is what the city and county needs and it is but a small efl'^t to secure them when all citizens work together with that end in view.

Henry S, Cochran, lor over thirty years the trusted guardian 0f tho gold vault of the Philadelphia mint, has coutessed to stealing $134,000 of pf gold ingots. The temptation of the glittering bars was loo much tor him and with a hooked Wire he knocked them down. Over $100,000 has been returned by hint. There was deposited in tills vault something like $16,000,000 in gold, and his stealings were only found out tvhen the gold was weighed. The people should not forget that we are hying under protective tariff times of the republican party. True, the democrats are now in power and are working on tariff pleasures that will convert this republican panic into democratic prosperity. This is a republican hole the country is in and the people have appealed to the present administration tor relief. Hotter times will result and the country will scon be in a prosperous condition. And at last the silver debate has closed in the senate, and a vote is to be taken sometime in the near future. For the past sereral weeks it has been heap talkee and not much worfcee. Talk is cheap while work )s hard on the constitution. An early $iljourumeut would be in order.

The Financial Condition. Ed. Democi:at — A« our government Is in confusion from center to circumference, and the people seem to lie standing still to see the salvation of the Lord, and I am one of the oldest citizens in the county, and never interd to be an office seeker again, I will break the silence by giving some of mv views as to the cause of the great financial trouble now upon us. and vrhat t think would be the proper remedy, and for a starting point will quote the first grand and great principle announced in the declaration of independence: “W’e know that all men are created equal,’* (which has been shamefully ami hypocritically abused for over 30 years.) Soon after the civil war began and we had to have monev, congress passed an act to issjie what was called the greenback monev making it a legal tender for all debts, both public

ami private, which if it had been Gained out would have saved to the Union soldiers millions of dollars and to the laboring millions of American people over two billions of dollars, and carried out that great principle of the declaration of independence. Bui when that bill went to the senate, the great money power of the earth with their heads in the citv of i^ndon, England, had their emissaries "lhere, and they got an amendment to the legal lender clause except for duties on imports and the interest on the public debt which the soldier and every laboring than was robbed of from one-third to three-fourths of his honest and just dues for the sole benefit of the money lords, so all can see how much all men were created equal indliat act. Again in 1872 London sent her agent to America with her millions of gold to help the monc$ lords oftheUniled States to elect « cong ress that would demonetize silver that had been the standard currency of the world for more than 3G00 years. Sure enough they succeeded and in 1873 that congress did demonetize silver in all sums over five dollars. Prior to that time we had over fifty dollars per capita, and in a short time we got down to about seventeen dollars of a .circulation medium or currency for each inan, woman and child in the United States, and we all remember the result and can see how all men were made equal in that act. And about that time the trade dollar was coined by act of congress and paid’ out to the people at face, and in «l short time the money lords got most all of it at a heavy discount, then congress passed an act to redeem all the trade dollars at face and recoin Wietn, so the poor man was robbed again for the benefit of the money lords. So at onr last election the poor and laboring men of the United States, thought!'thei' could not put up with such rqbbCfy any longer and elected a president, congress and senate pledged to remedy their tyrongs and as soon as the administration changed hands the money lords united and made a strike against the verdict of the people. Being legislated for their especial benefit for over 30 years at the expense of the masses, a few thousand of . them by such legislation becoming ;he owners of over half the wealth of tlie nation and by their united organization controting most all the circulating curreucy, and bv so contracting the currency undertaken to force the peoples represenatives to revoke the peoples will, by continuing the demonetizing ot silver stopping the

further coinage ot same, ami promising them that they will not change the robber tariff as the great mass of the people decided it by their.votes last November, which is clearly indicated by the speeches of senators Sherman and Reed a few days ago. See the great difference in the poor laboring men’s strike and the strike ot the money lords~wheu the lord Carnegie of Scotland who never pays a dollar ot fax in any way to help support our government, while he is boasting of his annual profit of a million aud a half of dollars he makes out of his manufacturing establishment in Pennsylvania each year, more thau half ot which the robber tariff makes h„im, and after McKinley got the tariff to suit Carnegie he undertook to cut his white slaves wages from fifteen up as high as 30 per cent ou their daily labor and they made a strike against the cut. Instead of conveying to congress or even applying to the civil authority for redress he hires a Pinkerton mob to come there and shoot the strikers down, but the strikers defended their wives and children and themselyes by resisting force with force and killed as many as they lost and. forced the inoh to surrender. Then the "goyerner sent the state mllita there at an expense ot $8,000 per day till they captured many of the leaders ot tho strike who are now serving a term of years in the penitentiary for trying to defend themj selves, their wives and children from

starvation. But when the money lords make a strike against the verdict of (lie nations congress is convened to try to appease their wrath. The remedy I think best is to go back to the constitution and declaration of independence that we ail claim to love and reverence so much, repent and do our first wortis b remonetizing silver; coining every ounce of silver bullion in the vaults of the U. S- Treasury ami say by Unit shall be a legal tender for all debts, dues and demands, both public and private, and pay it out for the soldiers pension, fur the feet and salaries of alt government officers and employes, until the pro-ratio is about forty-eight or fifty dollars instead ot $2 03. Then levy an income tax on Carnegie and ad other money lordsufficient to pay the pensions of our disabled soldiers, then cut down the robber tarifi'so it will be sufficient to raise the balance of the necessary expenses of the government and let the money lords know that all men are created equal and must and shall have equal rights. Levi Lockhart

Congress is still in session without doing much, but it js supposed that during tlm next week an attempt will be made to force the silver question to vote. Let Vr come and tht* sooner the better, as the people are generally on the anxious seat to knowjust what is going to happen. The Slaie.Normal School at Terre Haute is still torn up. The governor and the trustees should come to some conclusion in the matter, and thg sooner the better. It might not be a bad idea to “fire” the whole faculty and hire mew blood to run the institution. Pror. Tompkins is the last gentleman to walk the plank. Last Saturday the Cherokee strip was opened up Tor settlement. The boomers wero ready at the hour of twelve fof a grand rush for the new country. Several people were killed in the graud rush for homes. Madeline Granger, of Terre Haute, one of the boomers, was found dead on the prairie, and is supposed to have died from exposure. Gov. Matthews at fast came out on top in the lloby matter. The state militia and Chicago bums did not work well together, hence the postponement of lights. And now comes the startling information that the Lake countv grand jury has returned twenty-nine indictments against managers, fighters and seconds. The slate of Indiana is big when she wants to be. The disgrace is at an ehd. A great many cities and towns throughout the state are putting down brick streets this year. Tills would not be a bad idea for Main street in this city. The property owners abutting on either side of the street are well able to pay for such a street, and there is no question but what if the plan was talked up among them that the subject would receive honorable attertion. Let the city fathers take some action in the matter and talk it over with the property owners.

It does seem to utr outsider that President Cleveland has about decided to let all old post masters hold out their commissions, some of whom will serve during the next year. Many of the present postmasters in Indiana will serve five years if they hold out their extra time. The Petersburg postmaster is destined to serve until next March, but in his case it is all right. Bvhis good management the office has been raised to a higher class and made to pay over $450 in salary. There is now no question in the grinds of tho people hut what the Petersburg creamery should again be operated. Farmers who prepared themselves to furnish milk to the creamerj have a lot of milch cows on hand tor which they now have no use. The creamery was on a paying basis and the fanners were just seeing that there was mouey in supplying milk. The revenue is now cut otifrom tho city. It may have been a small enterprise, but it amounted to about $500 a mouth to Petersburg. Siarl ’er up. Business is again beginning to take on its normal shape. People who besaine scared sometime since are replacing their money in the banks, which have opened out and are loaning money once more. This in a great measure has cuused the stringency in the limes. The people who become alarmed and withdraw their monev from the banks are alone responsible for the hard times and the stringency in the money market. Open up your purse strings and let’s have better times; that is, put the money in circulation by paying your small obligations. i

PROTECTION TO LABOR A FARCE. The Contract Labor Ltw Is Constantly Violated by Manufacturers. The senate immigration committee Bow conducting an investigation at Ellis island is obtaining strong evidence against “protection to American wages." The evidence is not obtained for this purpose, and thoughtless persons may not see the connection, bat it is there just the same. The committee finds that the contract labor law is being constantly violated. It is noticeable that the violators are nearly always manufacturers engaged in highly protected industries—silks, embroideries, glass, tin plate, etc. It is also noticeable that the government officers whose duty it is to prosecute the offenders have avoided their duty with suspicious negligence—giving the appear

anee that t-ney are somehow in league with the manufacturers and their agents who import laborers under contract. Now, as the laborer has but one article to sell—his labor—it is not easy to see how a duty on goods which he must buy can protect him from the competition of foreign labor, which is on the free list and which is being imported almost daily in violation of the contract labor law by the very manufacturers who for 20 or 80 years have posed as the friend of the laborer, and who have ob-^ tained duties on their goods in order that they might pay the highest wages in the world to their protege—the American laborer. The law which proteots the manufacturers by imposing almost insuperable barriers to the importation of competing foreign goods is enforced with great stringency, while the only law which offers even the semblance of protection to the wage earner is trampled under foot by the manufacturers. Goods on dutiable list; labor on free list. Manufacturers sell goods and buy labor; workingmen sell labor and buy goods. Manufacturer protected and pampered; workingman unprotected and robbed. Is there a greater farce in this nineteenth century than “protection to American labor!” Protection’s Measly Record. "Wberever protection has been tried for any length of time it has shown its true fruits in low'Vages; pauperism and national degradation, China, with its immobile masses, stagnant, dead; Russia, prohibiting the importation of grain and suffering famine in the south in spite of her rich agricultural resources in the north; the Ottoman empire, with its enslaved population, protecting itself by letting nothing go out of the country, a somewhat less dangerous policy than that of letting nothing come in; Spain, with her absurd tariff laws, “a whale stranded upon the coast of Europe;” England, groaning in 1840, and for very agony snapping her tariff chains, arising in 1846 renewed and stronger than ever in her protective tariff days. Chi the other hand, what of little Holland in her days of freedom and free trade? Let another speak: “Though she produced not a bushel of wheat, nor a single plank, nor one bar of iron, she ate the whitest bread, made the cheapest and noblest ships, with the finest iron plating and strongest canvas of all European nations because her trade was the freest.” Yet the United States has protection and is more prosperous than England, which has a kind of free trade not yet wholly freed. True, but with only part of the factors any case may be made out. Anything may be proved if all the evidence for the other side is excluded. America is more prosperous because she has more free trade than any European nation. England is an island in the-sea scarcely larger than New York state. America is a continent. Continents can stand more protection and stand it longer, just as large ships can carry cargoes that would sink your lightweight clippers. It is because we have so large an area of free trade that we can stand so large a measure of protection, and to make the case of America analagous to that of tariff ridden Europe, every one of our states should have a tariff against every other. Then, and then only, if we were prosperous still, would it be fair to attribute such prosperity to the tariff.— Joseph Dana Miller.

* Selling Pig Iron In Canada. The Toronto agents of importers of British pig iron are not busying themselves very greatly this season in pursuit of orders for that material. They say that the pressure of competition from the United States makes business both too small and unprofitable for it to be worth much trouble and that this year's imports from Scotland and England will be lower than ever. Some consumers here, notably the Doty Engine Works company, claim that the quality and price of American brands suitable for their purposes are better than in British brands they have heretofore used. The company named above bought in Glasgow all the iron they imported up to this year. Our Canadian pig, which, by the way, is coming into wider consumption, needs to be mixed, and a suitable complement for the production of close, strong castings is found in certain brands of American which blend well, particularly with Londonderry iron.— Iron Age. If we can pay freight to Canada and undersell Great Britain there, why do our producers need a protection of $6.73 per ton to keep British pig iron out of our own markets? Let the duty be abolished, give our metal workers free raw material and prevent a pig iron trust from selling cheaper abroad than at home. ._ Prices of Bicycles Tumbling. At last there is a promise of bicycles at reasonable prices. One of the great English makers has deserted the American trust and has reduced prices from |150 to $85, and to $65 for an 1893 machine. As the average cost of a $15(f wheel is only $30, it is not surprising that a few manufacturers have become suddenly wealthy and that within a year 40 new bicycle shops have started in New England. By nexs year, when the present 45 per cent duty is cut in two or entirely abolished, we may expect to purchase good machines for $50 br $60.
