STOOPS. he Pike County Democrat has the Urgent circulation ot suy newspaper published in Pike County l Advertisers will make a uoie ot this fact! Entered at the postoftlcd in Petersburg for transmission through the mails as sceoudblass matter. F1UDAY, DEC. 1. 1S93. Delegates will meet at Evansville, January 8,1894, to select a committeeman for the First district to serve on the state central committee for the next two years. Delegates to that convention will be Selected in this city on December 80th. This county is entitled to ten delegates. Mtt. Carnegie, he ot “Homestead fame,” makes the statement that he can inaku steefrails and other articles of steel cheaper than can lie done in Europe, tariff or no tariff. That is just what has been" contended all along by the democratic party, and it is surprising only in the fact that the gentleman should make such an admission as to facts in the premises. Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, who, in the last campaign tried to create the impression that he would break into the U. S. senate, broke loose at Indianapolis last week and in a speech said : “The people of the United States a year ago committed a crime against themselves when they elected Grover Cleveland instead of Benjamin Harrison.” Mr. Fairbanks is the millionaire railroad man of Indiana,, aud of course talks from a millionaire standpoint.

Last week at Indianapolis there yvas a great clamor among republicans t(j see just which conld say the pneanesf things against the democratic party. Our republican triends held a meeting in that city lor the purpose of organizing for the next pampaign, but the only persons who attended were candidates for office. There were a number of them and each vied with the other in denouncing the party now in power. Such is life among ou,y republican friends. ----u Director Preston, of the mint, has prepared lor the secretary of the treasury a statement showing that the amount and cost of silver purchased under tho Sherman law from the date the act went into effect, August 31,1890, to the date of repeal November 1, 131)3, was 168.674,590 tine ounces, costing $155,930,940, an average co«t per ounce of $0.9244. The present market price is about 70c per ounce. Ot this amount $36,986,185 worth was coined into standard silver dollars, leaving 140,699,160 ounces on hand. This aiuouut will coin $181,915,000. The Ways and Means committee hopes to complete the new tariff bill and give it to the public about the close of this week. An opinion is expressed bv some of the democratic members that the differences that have recently <*0een among their number over the policy of adopting an Incomo tax, may prolong the final Completion, of the measure until a later date. What they will do with ?ugar in the new tariff bill is certain, ^>f one thing. They will wipe out

$10,(AX),000 annual bounty and pay no more of It. Atone time ibe democrats seemed to favor a tax ot one cent per pound on sugar, but they have changed on that iine lately. As to the import articles to be added to the free list, they will embrace wool, lumber, iron ore, coal, salt, cotton bugging, binding twine, rice and many other commodities. The com* tnitlee, iu framing the new tariff l>i|l, proposes to stand firmly by the pledges made iu the democratic platform and promises to the people last fall, regardless of the result of the late elections wherein the idea of protection seemed to gain a new impetus. To cheapen the necessaries of lile to all the people will be the policy of the parly in framing this new bill.

It would not be a bad idea, says the Indianapolis Sun, to have a law in this stale providing for the severe punishment of all persons who attempt suieide and fail in their purpose. Sneli a law'is in force in New York, and its effect has been, to some extent, salutary. The sale of poison should also lie regulated and made less free. It is doubtful if that community ever experienced such a general and widespread epidemic of suicide as now seems to be sweeping over it, and some steps should be takeu to guard against such conditions in the future. The ease with which firearms and other deadly weapons are obtained also increases this crime, and that of homicide. Fortunately for our community, the courts are determined to lessen the evil. Congressman Mahtin, of Indiana, is an optimist on the future of the democratic party. lie predicts that in the congressional election next year there will be as great a political reaction against the republican party compared with this year’s results as the late election was a reaction over the democratic victory of a year ago. Mr. Martin thinks that in 1S96 republicans will be routed, horse, foot and dragoon, lie believes that by November, 1S9G, the people will have felt the effects of good times consequent upon tiie wise financial and tariff legislation of this administration. The Christmas number of Ilarperfs Magazine, published this week, contains ten short stories, including Thomas N. Page’s humorous sketch introducing the “Editor’s Drawer,” and an unusual number of beautiful illustrations. Timely and attractive features are “The House of Commons,” by Thomas P. O'Connor,with illustrations by Albert E. Sterner; “The Old Dominion,” a cotemporary view of Virginia,div Thomas N. Page with pictures by C. S. lieiuhart ;| iud “Au Outpost of Civilization,” a sketch of Mexican ranch life, contributed by Frederick Remington, whose descriptions admirably fit his vigorous anil characteristic drawings. The November returns to the department of agriculture of the rates yield per acre make the average for corn 22,0 bushels, which is the smallest yield reported, excepting those of 18SG, 18S7, and 1890, for the past 10 years. The yields for those wars were, respectively, 22, 20.1, and 20.7bushels. It is less than the average for the 10

years 1880 to 1889 by 4.5 bushels ; less than the average for the succeeding decade 18S0 to 1889 by oho and onehalf bushels, and less than the average for three years 1S90 to 1892 by a little over one bushel.The Indiana Christian Endeavor Union will hold its annual meeting at Terre Haute, December 1st to 3rd inclusive. For this occasion the E. & I. railroad will sell excursion tickets from all stations November 30th to December 2d, good returning until fife 4th,at one fare for the round trip. This is alow rate and all members should take advantage of it. Col. Ilargitt, the veteran of all tourist printers, has taken a position on the Elnora Tribune as editor and chief compositor. What 'ho “old man” does not know about the newspaper business is not worth knowing, and since his taking a "sit” on that paper it has made a wonderful improvement. Ited Nelson whom we mentioned as being Instantly killed on last Wednesday was a mistake, lie was seriously injured and unconscious tor a time, but is improving and will recover, unless serious complications set in. He was bruised considerably about the breast and head. Burns are absolutely painless when De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is promptly applied. This statement is true.

TaHIFF and wages WH.S-C THE GLASSWORKERS THINK OF THE M’KINLEY BILL.

Protection to Tlieir Industry Brings I.ow•r Wajres nnd U ns tend y Employment—A Revision of the Tariff Is What the Country Needs. The National Glass Budget, the organ of the glassworkers, often contains evidence of what the laborers and mechanics think of ICO percent protection to tho glass industry. On Ang. 26 it said: “George A. Macbeth was the only glass manufacturer in the United States who had the judgment and courage to appear before the committee of ways and means and oppose the passage of the McKinley bill. At the time of its passage he predicted that an increase of the tariff would precipitate business revolution and financial disaster. How well he guessed the future is best told by the results which have followed. “In 1888 both political parties were pledged to revise the tariff, hut Mr. Harrison was elected because the people were deceived by the free trade cry of his champions. It never was tlie intention of the American people to increase the tariff, and they believed that the Republican party would reduce and revise the .tariff instead of increasing it, and every election held since 18SS tho friends of lower tariff duties have been successful. Mr. Macbeth displays good judgment when he says that this Country is prepared to compete with the world in iron and steel. If in these metals, why not in glass? Before the passage of the McKinley bill we exported glassware if large quantities, but our exports -Have fallen off since 1S90. If any individual or newspaper has the courage to tel! the laboring people the truth, they are immediately called members of the Cobden club, or it is said they are subsidized with British gold. “We now have had the McKinley hill for three years, which the Republican 1 leaders told our laboring men would increase their wages and make the country prosperous. Has it done it? Have yon got steady employment? No. Have your wages been increased? No. Have you got prospects of steady employment? No. With free fuel in many localities manufacturers cannot resume operations owing to the lack of demand. Would this he the case if we had foreign markets for our wares and had American ships to distribute our products? We have the finest harbors in the world and the greatest inland waterways to tlio sea. Our railroads cannot be beaten, yet we aro going through a period of financial and industrial depression brought on by the false legislation of men like McKinley, who possess neither legal nor business ability, but are frothy humbugs who can make a noise in congress and deal in platitudes. “The manufacturers of Pennsylvania and Ohio are largely responsible for making a big man out of very light material. They have contributed large sums of money to corrupt the voters ef Ohio to not only elect him to congress, but to make him governor of the state. He is like some poll parrots. He can remember what somebody else tells him, but in originality of thought he is very deficient. Our manufacturers are beginning to realize that the McKinley bill is an injury instead of a benefit. Tliey are the last to learn. Only a realization by the trying times we are passing through has brought about this change. “We have been led to believe that a high tariff meant high wages. The falsity of this is exemplified by the notice of reduction of wages in the iron and steel mills and glass factories. We read in the newspapers that notice has been posted in such and such mills and factories that wages would be reduced from per cent upon thoso earning 81.50 per day, and 15 per cent upon those earning above that amount per diem, and this in the face of the highest protection ever known in this country. Is it not about time for politicians to quit fooling the laboring classes? Can they he fooled any longer?

e say that one good, strong tabor organization has more to do with sustaining wages than all the McKinley hills you can pass till doomsday. We have always been in favor of a moderate revision of the tariff and the repeal of the McKinley bill. We think that if the tariff was revised with care and the selection of a good commission, embracing all the classes, farmers, laborers, manufacturers and merchants, to adjust it, we would have a rest and give the country a trial of moderate tariff. We would soon recuperate, and business would revive. “If our pension list is not reduced, we must levy an income tax to create revenue sufficient to sustain the government. There are too many coffee coolers on the pension rolls. We must revise it or bankrupt the country. Our waterways must be improved. Our harbors must be kept in good condition in order to give our people cheap water transportation. How can we appropriate what we have not got? Now is the time to economize by lessening the expenses of the government. Make these harpies, who neither toil nor spin, work and produce instead of being idle consumers. Now is the time to relieve the people of their unnecessary burden. “Kevise the tariff, open up other markets to ouf manufacturers, build American ships to carry our wares all over the world, strike off the pension list all® persons who were not wounded or disabled and are able to earn a living. We think any soldier who served his country and contracted disease or was disabled is entitled to a pension, but many are on the rolls who never were touched and who never contracted any disease in the service.”_ f o sustain prices the Sugar trust restricts production by operating an average of only two-thirds of its refining capacity. It now owns 24 refining plants, 7 of which are permanently held idle, 1 of which was burned this year and 5 of which have Ix-sn connected with other refineries. -^—

On November.22,1893, the angel of death called tor the spirit of Katie Thomas, sv.ho so cheerfully went after many days of sufleriug. At last the flower has been taken, but only to bloom, more beautiful in God’s fairer garden. Those who knew this gentle, cheerful,, patient m life, could but love her and those who saw the sweet transformation of her life, the hope and triumph of her death, can surely rejoice rather than weep. She joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church at the age of twelve, she fin • I shed her work and at the age of twenty years and four months, God called Iter to the church triumphant. Beautiful and sweet in life but more glorious in death. Her death was such a victory, a heaven on cartel— such a longing to be with Christ, such a calm, launching out that we could but hid her good-bye with a sruite. While her lips were growing cold shelfullowed the words ol the hv tnns friends were singing around iter bed*—and whispered “this is nothing it is glory.” God who wiped alt tears from her eyesjnow let’s us see ilis glory through ours.
