He is hustling and is after the scalps er boys, and may possibly |f a republican is to be wouldjust as soon see doe get thar as guy oue we know of. of the othget them, elected we * The Press came out last week changed from a five, column quarto to the same size of The Demorat. In this improved form the paper presents a much better appearance and contains more reading matter for its patrons. We greatly admire the change and the editor hits our congratulations. AFTER 30 years o|* republican high tariff and currency policies we have a bankrupt treasury, stagnate trade and little money in nctnal circulation. There have bepn th ree sqvfere panics pnd only a few years of prosperity among the producing masses. Let us have a vote on the Willson bill and a change. Thirty years more of republican laws would ruin us> The Indiana Appellate court decides that an employe who knows, or by the exercisti of ordinary diligence could know, of ani’ defects or imperfections in the things .about •Which be is employed and continues without objection and without promise of change is presumed to have assumed all the consequences resultant from such defects'tind to have waived all right ta recover for injuries caused thereby.

Do not be afraid to say a good word for your owti^own or its citizens. Encourage everyone who is worthy and active to come in and pettle among you. Those who have capital will buy lots, build houses, c*r tear out and remodel old ones. Work and stimulate every legitimate enterprise by giving it friendly encouragement, or by pitting your industry, influence and capital in tthe commorf cause. Encourage your city authorities in making public improvements for the good of the town. It is suph things that make a tovyn grow, and their cost is insignificant when'divided among all. ***'• those perto give the at the best the county', The Democrat of last week was the talk ^Mtyie town. Why ? Simply becapse it contained all the happenings of the week written for some regard fp truth and fairness. The editor was highly complimented on the issue, and in this connection desires to return thanks to sons. It is the one aim headers of The Democr paper ever published in and from the many warjm words pf praise received during the past year we believe our object lias been accomplished. As a narrator of news The DajfopRAT Has stood gt the front pf all county papers in Southern Indiana and in Pike county especially, ft hat been the leader aod the other papers are on their metal to compete and follow in the foptsteps of a model country paper, gnd in which stop The Democrat took the initiative.. Always looking forward to giving its* readers the best of everything, The Democrat stands to day the leader* among Pike pounty newspapers. The subscription price of The Democrat remains the same.

WHO TINKERED WITH THE TA RIFF. The Louisville Courier-Journal finds a funny passage in Mr. Reed's minorty report, on the Wilson bill. He say«£hat the majority of thennihmittee ‘Ojas presented a bill which is onlv anotMbr tariff tinkering bill, the like of which has disturbed the conditions of business so mapy times the Ust thirty years.” Now, it is well known that no tariff bill has been passed by the democrats in the last thirty years. Some have been framed, indeed, but they ifave net'er been able to disturb business for the reason that it was known in advance that they could not become laws. Thev wJre offered simply as indicative of thedisposition of democrats to reduce the tariff, find pot w|th any expectations that they would pass. Heretofore, the expression ^tariff tinkering” ha« been used by republicans to describe democratic efforts at reform* But it is evident, for the reason indicated, that Mr. Reed inteiujs to apply it to acts of his own party. He has good grounds for say- i ing that these changes has been fre-v quent. The following is a list of the acts by hich republicans have tinkered with the tariff; Act of March 2, 1861. Act of August 5, 1861. Act of December 24.1861. Act of July 14,1862. Act of March 3,1863. Act of April 29.1864. Act of June 30,1864. Act of March 3. 1865.

Act ot May, 1865. . Act of July 28. 1865. Ac* of March, 2, 1867. Act of March 25, J867Actof February 24. 1869. Act of July 14, 1870. Act of May 1,1872. Act of June 6, 1872. Act of J uue 22,1874. Act of February 6,1875. Act of March 13 1875. Act of July 1,1879. Act of June 14, 1880. Act of May 6,1882. Act ot March 3.1883. Act of May 9, 1890. Act of June 10, 1590. Act of October 1, 1890. It is proper to remark that while this may be a complete list of the billfc actually passed, it does not quite include the whole of republican tinkering with tlje tariff. Some *of the beneficiaries of protection, after contributing liberally to the campaign fund, would often become so impatient for a •‘raise” that t^cy could not wait patiently for congress to act. So it came to be fashionable to go- to treasury officials and get a new “ruling” about the classification of imported articles that vtould have all the effect of a new bill 90 far as the articles affected were concerned. Many of these rulings were afterward reserved by the supreme court, and millions of money improperly collected have been or will be refunded in copseqtience, but the “tinkering” had in the meantime served its purpose. Thus the people who paid the tax first to republicans will how have to pay a second time to supply the money to bo refunded. After all this tinkering by republicans it is high time Some were done by democrats. Yet the republicans had the assurance toofiera resolution in congress the other day giving a pfcdge that no change would be made in the tariff during the present administration.

About ever ten to fifteen years in oppression, or panic, hovers over the country like a buzzard over a dead sheep. Why? Because a “creditsystem” and indirect taxation places profits and Interest in the hands of the shrewd at tji© expense of the mass ot the people frho have been forced to borrow. Inuring these depressions liquidation takes place and the great majority of men gradually get to work again, and being out of debt, gradually accumulate a little. Then, a great «nanv become discontented, with their condition, they go in debt, in phort, become speculators and gambler^, and within a few years profits and interest going in one direction, and necessarily into the few hands, bring about & depression or panic, followed by the natural remedy liquidation, gnd industry and enterprise find themselves comparatively free once again. If vou desire to avoid being <*a victim,’’ just simply keep out of debt and live within your income. The Winslow Spectator is a new Pike county publication seeking the good will and support of the people. J. L. Stewart, who was formerly in charge of the old Leader, flies his name at the masthead of the paper. There is no reason why the citizens of that plane should not give the paper a cordial support. We wish the pew paper well anil a bright future..

As the time is m ir at hand for candidates to annou ice their names for township and county . office ’ The Democrat wot: d insist ou ah those desiring’ to announce their names to send them n early accompanied by the cash, If you are a candidate tor town hip office yon Should so announce to the public., It is jnst as important as tlmngh von were a candidate for & county or district office. Another thing that should he observed very closely and that is that in urging men to become candidates for the various office* at the disposal of the voters of the townships and county yot| select the Very heist men to make the race Men that‘can win. The coming light in Pike County will be hard fought on every hand and every inch of ground thoroughly contested. Be prudent in your selection of the candidates. Out* republican friends will not ieive a slot e unturned to s«cnre a victory iir Pike county this fail, and it devolves on the democrats to be just as active in the matter. In some future issue The Democrat will deal more fully in the issues of the" coming fight. It will be truths which canuot be deni ad. Our attention was railed on Saturday morning last to the fact that we did not know what we were talking about in regard to the specials sen' out from this city to the metropolitan papers. A young gentleman said we intimated that he was the person. Far from it. We don't know who sent them ahd neither do we care. They were sent out just the same, and whoever sent them kn^ws wheu he is hit. We never accuse an innocent person. But be that as it may, specials are sent from this city calculated to do the town an injury. Sometime ago a special was sent to the city press that scarlet fever was raging and that the physicians were unable to check it, or words to that effect. When the facts were that there was not over two cases in the city. But the greed of money will send out most anything. Gentlsmcn, give the special business a rest.

The opera honsq project has assumed tangible shape once more. Mi*. E R. Klbg has had plans drawn for an opera house 52)^x105 feet, wilh store rooms below and four office rooms on tbe second floor. The plans show a very beautiful building. Mr. King offers to take $1,000 in stock in the project and will agree to furnish all lumber necessary at cost of purchase. The plans call for a $10,000 building. Now that the petfple have a chance to show their metal vhat will they do about building a new opera house. Organize a stock company and go to work.! Now is the Nine when the building can be erected cheaper than at any other period. Commence work. Politics will soon begin to boil in Pike county, and our republican friends will have more fun at their coming primary tWhn you could see at any cal fight. By all means have a pleasant time while yon can, as at the general election next November the democrats will take a hand in the fight and make it very interesting.
