Entered at the postofflee in Petersburg for transmission through the mails as second* class matter. FltlDAY, OCT. <i. 1803. The canning industry iff getting to be a great one. Indiana stands third in the Union as*to the number of factories, being led by New Jersey and Maryland. There are forty-two canning establishments in Iudiana. •They are larger than in the other States on an average. The Senate of the United States is nearly ready to take a vote on the silver question. The latest thing talked of was a,compromise measure, which will have ^coinage measure to the extent <?f $800,^00,000, and coining all tne bullion now in the treasury. Another feature of the copnpyomise is that bonds be issued, in other words silver certificates. The compromise meaus the repeal of the Sherman law. Indiana furnished a good many .tail men for the army. Out of 118,254 juen whose descriptions were taken at the time of enlistment, 11,392 were six feet in height or more. There were 2,015 six feet one: inch ; 1,357 six f(eet two inches,'500 six reet three inches. Dr. B. A. Gould, of Massachusetts. actuary of the United States sanitary commission at that time, stated that the Indiana men are the tallest of fdl natives of the United States, ?nd these latter are the fallcst of all civilized countries. The house ways and means comlnittee has secured fourteen or fifteen Jiundred samples of the goods which foreign ‘pianfacturers send to. this country, and a list of prices at which the articles sell at home. These will be valuable evidence to tho committee in determining the tariff to be put on the different articles in the bill now being prepared, and a comparison with the prices demanded for the same articles here, with the tariff added would prove an instructive and convincing lessou on the evils of a protective tariff.

DtRiS'o the long evenings this win* fer what are you going to do? That’s a very small question to ask but there is a great deal in it. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a meeting at least every two weeks in which to talk over the future of Petersburg and Pike county. There is no question but what the business men should take some steps toward securing a few factories for the city the coming year. It is time to wake up, not let the days come and go without doing something toward the future growth of tho town and county. What do you say ? Senators and congressman from different sections of the United States are acting and voting for the interest of their constituents. They are using every means within them to that end. Jn the silver question, it is not a party measure, but a sectional one, the senators and representatives from the silver states want one thing, while the legislators front other sections want another. Mr. Taylor, representative for the First Indiana district, is representing his people. Ilis ideas on the silver question are in direct harmony with their ideas, and po fault is to be found with his votes tipon the question in the house. The whole trouble now devolves upon the senate and what it will do. The Washington correspondent to the Indianapolis News, has the following t6 say of our representative in congress, Hon. A. II. Taylor: ^Congressman Taylor was one of the most active of the representatives who participated in the knock out of the sixteen extra committee clerks. , He made several speeches in favor of retrenchment and reform, and feels very proud that he played so conspicuous a part in cutting down trfe list of sinecures. The sixteen comjnittees which were left unprovided •with clerks this session have really no uSe for appendages, as no records jiaye been kept of their proceedings for sopte time and the fact was doyeloped in the course of the discussion ovpr dispensing with the clerks that these places in the last session fiad beep held in a npmber pf instances by the sons of members of the committees, who performed no clerical duties whatever, but used fheir money to defray expenses While jjtteuding the Georgetown college.”

IN PLAIN WORDS. Replying to a letter from Governor Northern, of Georgia, asking his position on financial matters, President Cleveland said: • Washington, Sept. 25,1893. Hon. W. i northern: My Dear Sir.—I hardly know how to reply to your letter of thaloth inst. It seems to me that I am quite plainly on record concerning the financial' question. My letter accepting the nomination, read in connection with the message lately sent to congress in extraordinary se.ssion appears to me to be very explicit. I tvaut a currency stable sate in the hands of our people, I will not knowingly he implicated iti a condition that will justly make, me in the least degree answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United States for the shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has received for a full dollars worth of work, or for a full dollars worth ot of the product of his soil. I not only want ottr currency to be such that all kinds of dollars will be of equal purchasing power at jhotne, but of such character as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing us upon a firm foundation and credit among the nations of the earth. I want our financial conditions and laws,relating to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in bQsiness and new enterprises instead of hoarding if. Yotf cannot cure fright by calling it foolish and unreasonable, and you cannot prevent a frighted man from hoarding his money. I want good sound and stable money and a condition of confidence that will keen it in use within the limits of what 1 have written. I am a friend ot sliver but I believe its proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our currency by legislation and by the inauguration ot a consistent and comprehensive financial scheme.

1 linliK sucu a miiig can "in) uu entered upon profitably and hopefully after the repeal of the law which is charged with all our financial woes. In the present state of the public mind this law cannot be built upon [ nor patched iu such a way as to relieve thejsituation. I am, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver by this country alone and independently, and I am in favor of immediate and unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. “I confess I am astonished by the opposition in the senate to such prompt action as would relieve the present unfortunate situation. My daily prayer is that the delay occasioned by such opposition may not bo the cause ot plunging the country try into deeper depression than it has yet known, and that the democratic party may not justly be held responsible for 6ucb a catastro, h , <>■ Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland. A lady reader of. The Democrat sends us an item clipped from another newspaper stating that the perfect shoe polish lias at last been discovered, and just iu time too, for feminine patience with the prepared polish. which cracked the leather was about exausted. This can bo made at home and is as conveniently cheap as it is simple. Mix cosmpliae and lamp black (for a nickel you can get enough to last you five years) in I equal parts and apply lightly with an old tooth-brush or soft rag, then wipe the shoe off with another rag, and you have a polish which lasts for days, and not only gives the shoe the appearance of newness, but actually preserves the leather. No one who has used it ever goes back to the manufactured polishes which are disagreeably shiny and ruinious to fine leather. A pleasant entertainment for a few friends is called a quotation party. When the invitations are given the request accompanies them that the recipient will come to the party with three quotations memorized. When these-quotations are given the name of the author is to be guessed by any of the company who can do so. The first one who guesses or gives the name ot the author usually receives a favor, usually a flower, or a bit of narrow, bright colored ribbon that can he tied in a button-hole may be Substituted, and of course the one who wins the greatest number of tavors is the hero of the hour. Rube Hammond, ono of Petersburg’s hustling old hache—no, we mean insurance men, who has been visiting relatives at Crandall, Harrison county, passed through here Monday on his way home, in company with his neice. Miss Ada Bull, who was returning with him for a short visit.—Oakland City Enterprise.

NOW A DEMOCRAT. Fcality to “honorable traditions of the past,” and a not unnatural hesitation to place himself at the head of I any' movement which would mean, if! not an actual disruption of the pres-' ent political conditions of Great Bri-1 tain, at least a political social upheaval of the greatest importance and sig- ! nlticance, have hitherto kept 'William Ew.art Gladstone from declaring himself openly as a broad-minded democrat in principle and belief. The attitude assumed b\ the House of Lords'1 by the •‘honorable traditions-of the! past” than he is an admirer of the cumbrous, superannuated gilded Chariot knowu as the Lord Mayor’s cohch. : • Mr. Gladstone’s great speech in Edinburgh,.justly called the Modern Athens, for the high intellectual standard of its inhabitants and its superb! national situation, occasions as much satisfaction in this country as it does among the vast majority of the electors in Great Britain. . It has placed him tairly and squarely upon the same platform as the democrats. In' his grand! protest against the interference of the House of Lords with the deliberate decision of the majority in the House of Commons, which j is the only body in three estates of the realm that directly represents, the taxpayers of the United Kingdom, he has practically declared h tin self to be with the people and for the people, aijd there not many disinterested persons who will not join in the hope that his days may be long spared in the land to lead the people. The furore of applause which followed his courteous but stinging comments on the House of Lords for rejecting the home rule bill after a brief, paltry and practically brainless discussion— a discussion born of so-called aristocratic predudico and nurtured by timorousness and self-interest—mark-ed a distinct step forward to the goal where England will throw off her trappings of royalty and aristocracy as alveary dancer might her ribbons, ! jewels and gewgaws, and take her plain and unadorned*, among the great republics of the earth.

It has been Known lor many years past that Air ,Gladstone lias not been persona grata at the cot»*f of England. If he had to kiss the hand ot hjer Majesty the Queen upon taking office it was a perfunctory task distasteful to both parties—the quicker it were over the better; the ceremony was nauseous. A prentieKof glitter, romatie Semitic ideas, and bbuudless if not unscrupulous ambition, like Disraeli, was much more to Victoria’s taste than plain, honest and downright Air. Gladstone. She feared Gladstone for his republican tendencies; she saw in him a menace to the hereditary aristocratic negative forces of the realm; perhaps—for she is shrewd enough—she even saw in him a potential menace to the future sta-' bility of the Hanoverian throne itself. At all events, she bore no love to the Grand Old Alan, and met him only on strictly official occasions. The Queen of England and all the layers of aristocracy beneath her will read his recent Edinburg speech with alarm, for it is decidedly pregnant with something politically serious. Such words as these are surely portentous: 1 respect many members of the House of Lords, and 1 have a high respect for their personal characters, abilities and the claim of their station. Nor have I a word to say against their abstract right,to reject any bill from the Comimms.,but it is evident that in issues where the people have clearly and definitely spoken nothing but the utmost discretion can preserve the Lords possession of smith a right. ^ Slack the subtle importance of these words. They convey a suggestive threat which is not tlie less imporant because it is like the soft glove that conceals the mailed hand. There can be no doubt that 'he Premier of England has placed himself on the platform of democracy, lie will be more welcome now to America titan ever. In his soul he is one of us. 1 La Grippe. During the prevalence of the la grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact .that those who depended upon Dr. King’s New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all of the troublesome after effects or the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid cures uot oulv in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases of the throat, chest and lungs, and has cured oases of asthma and hay fever of long standing. Try it and Ire convinced. It won’t dissappoiut. Free trial bottles at J. K. Adams & Sou’s drug store, * “During my term of service in the army I contracted chronic diarrhoea,” says A. E. Bending, of Halsey, Oregon. “Since then I have used a great amount oi medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief they would injure my stomach, until Chamberlain’s colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy was brought to my notice, I used it and will say that it is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results follow.” For sale by J. R Adams & Son. o

UNPARALLELED CHEEK. Iron and Steel Manufacturers Sr.y There Should lie No Uerislon of the Tariff. One of the manufacturers who has applied for a hearing before the ways and means committee is (James W. Swank, manager of the American Iron and Steel association. He protests against the material reduction of the tax on pig iron and all forms of; finished iron and 6teel in a letter, in which he says: 1 “If there is ho surplus in the treasury to be reduced; if prices of domestic products are fixed by home competition and not by tariff duties; if they are how lower as a rule than they ever have been inour. history; if a day’s wages of an American workingman will purchase more of the necessaries of life under onr present tariff than ever before; if the paternalism that cares for the general welfare is sanctioned by the constitution and by the exact terms of onr first tariff act, what reason or show of reason remains for a revision of the tariff at this time? Weknovvjof none. But we do know and the country knows of one overshadowing reason why it should not be revised.” j * He then refers to the financial and industrial -crisis, attributes it in part to “the apprehension off still greater disaster and stagnation which would follow a revision of the tariff,” and says: “Shall this apprehension be justified and intensified by persistence in a policy of tariff revision which rests for support solely upon the discredited theory tiuy the tariff is a tax, and which would encourage the importation of manufactured commodities that can be produced at home?” Such check! Such a statement can come, only from a man inured by 30 years of protection to hlufiing the people out of their own. No revision because, forsooth, Mr. Swank’s friends, the Republicans, looked the treasury to prevent a reduction of duties and to compel the country tio submit to McKiuleyisrn for the rest of the century? No revision because our constitution may be found to sanction paternalism—by the protected manufacturers, we suppose? No revision because prices are lower than ever before? No revision because wages are higher than ever before? No revision because the theory that' the tariff is a tas has been discredited^ When? Where? By whom? No revision because the present crisis is due to an apprehension of tariff reduction? Holy smoke! Mr. Swank should appear before a lunacy and not a tariff commission. Much tariff has made him mad.

lb uwi n yutowwu vi >» .icuKi juvo tuu lower now that i jrmerly. It is a question of whether or not the}’ aro as low here as abroach The wage earner is entitled to the lowest prices. He should be permitted to obtain the inost possible for his wages. It is not ipossible to increase wages by placing duties on goods; it is possible to increase the purchasing power of wages by taking duties off goods. This the Democratic party is pledged to do, and this it will; do if it has to make good a considerable deficiency”of revenue by taxing the incomes of those who have grown rich by means of protection spoils. Must the ways and means committee spend 14 days listening to the ravings of such men as this one? Must its intelligence be insulted by such statements from Supremely selfish products of our protective system? Where do the farnmi .era, laborers and mechanics come ins Will there be before this committee no representation of the Go,000,000 consumers who have been taxed for 30 years to produce these fine specimens of plutocrats and emiav headed autocrats? Tariff Anarchists. We find the following in the columns of a contemporary, whose name we withhold out of respect to the memory of its former reputation for fairness, trustworthiness and reliability. In commenting upon the wool situation it says; “The feeling in the tariff question is approaching a very acute stage, and there are those who predict not only strikes, but violence, if it is materially changed or if the present condition endures for 30 days longer.” Evidently the writer meant “if it is not materially changed,” etc., else there is no sense tjr,the phrase. We can hardly credit this as being the opinion of' a staid and heretofore conservative publication having its home in an intelligent community and catering to an intelligent, thinking and law abiding constituency. It savors too much of anarchy, destruction, blood, and all the terrible things which such men as Governor, Waite and Most talk so freely of. Whence is to come this violence? And why? Why this incendiary talk? Have* the people lost respect for laws and abandoned their reliance upon the ballot? Is partisanship so uncontrollable that it would do violence because of defeat at the polls? Our contemporary has permitted its political prejudices to warp its judgment and sway its reason.— Wool and Cotton Reporter. Tariff Against Manufactures. Mr. Macbeth, the Pittsburg glass manufacturer, says that he does not need and does not ask for protection. He ships his wares to Europe and can ship more when the exchanges are made favorable by the removal of legal restrictions. Several of the Philadelphia manufacturers of woolens are ready to abandon the protectionists. The difficulties of getting suitable qualities of wool cause them more trouble and expense than they anticipate from a revenue tariff. The theory of making the agricultural sections export enough at low prices to keep up a home market at high prices for manufacturers does not even work for the supposed beneficiaries. The tariff hits them, and its general effect is to restrict markets for everybody. It lowers wages by making employment in factories uncertain and gathering an oversupplv of labor in factory towns. Chairman Wilson and his committee will take np the tariff at an early day, and when they take it up they will not let it go until it is revised according to Larry Neal's resolution in the Chicago convention.—St. Louis Republic.
