To the United States Senate: Pass the Wilson bill and untax the masses. Tariff reform is still in the swim, pet in the big wagon and go alqng with the masses. Protection does not protect the farmer or laboring man of Pike county. If Ljbdoes we have not heard pf it. ™ Repeal the Federal election laws, pass tlie Wilson bill and adjourn would be a wise thing for congress to do. * The coming campaign in Indiana will be fought to a dnish. The same geutlepaen who presided at the heads of the republican and democratic parties have been placed there again. Candidates tor* office in Pike pouiity are not very numerous, probably on account of the very close ruargiu in the voting population, A man that gets a nomination must tight for his election and po mistake.

The democratic editors are in session at Indianapolis to-day. The editor of Thk Democrat will not be presept owing to the many duties imposed on him, and besides we labored under the idea that it would be about as well for us to stay at home and let the boys fight it out. The Wilsou tariff bill and income tazmaeasures passed^the lowser house <pt congress last Thursday by a vote fof 204 to 140. Every democratic congressman iu Indiana voted for the pteasure, while the republicans from this state, Johnson and Waugh, voted against tpe measures. The senate Will debate the question during the pext six weeks. Some Indiaua congressman should now take up the cudgel of warfare against the civil service law and knock it sky-high. No such law should be on the statute books of our government. The old republican motto of “to victors belong the spoils” should be strictly adhered to and things, cleaned up at once. Compieuce the work uow and give the democrat boys a chance. , Hon. Tom Taggart was fe-elected chairman of the democratic state committee at its meeting last Thursday at Indianapolis. Tom is a hustler and pullett the party through to Victory in 1892 by his wise council. The dose will be repeated this fall. The democrats of Indiaua are ever watchful and on the alert. Now let pvery man go to work and duplicate the grandf victory achieved iu 1892. Farmers t»ave been required by the laws of the land to squeeze along With free trade prices for their products. The demand for their sur* plus has been diminished by restrictions on exchanges and by the habit the tariff trusts havo acquired of runping on short tipie and throwing la- i por out of employment. By a splendid majority the house of repreeenatiyes has spoken fpr. the farmers and nonprotected masses of the country. Before another harvest the law will pe improved and the masses will get ippie ot (lie benefits of free trade.

---=-»■*-- -- Manufacturers will begin to provide a belter home market for agricultural products by exporting a surplus and employing more laWor. It Is trade which gives to any kind of labor its highest rate of earning?. Manufacturing labor will receive more after protection disappears entirely from the tax system. f,; McKinley’s humbug tariff bill to advance the wages of the laborer and iucrcase the prices of the products ol the farmer wilf soon be wiped from the records at Washington City. Instead of increasing wages, they decrease, and the farmer has seen the price of his products gradually decrease, especially is it so in the price of wheat, which declined from one dollar to fifty cents per bushel. No wonder tjie people voted for a change. • The Bland silver bill will come up in the house this week for debate, the Hawaii matter having been disposed of. Bland’s bill is for the coinage Of silver seigniorage in the treasury, amounting to $55,000,000, to be made available at once to meet the demands of the treasury by the issuing of treasury notes similar to those j under the act ot 1890, There promises to be a lively debate on ihe question and the party lines will be drawn very closely. • ~f: ' Ouit neighbor editors of the Press and News are fighting over their true-blue republicanism. One claims the other bolted a convention aud iupported democrats, while the other claims that (other fellow is trying to make the candidates dance to the music. Crack away, boy9, and possibly the people may find out just which is which and who is who. And the dago with the cinnamon bear will be on deck to g|ve the comtuaud “cli tna-pola-jest-lika-niao.” John Welfley, a tried and true democrat §pd friend of the editor of this paper, has been appointed postmaster at Decatur, this 6tate. The colonel wis a brave soldier, and went out at the first call of President Lincoln, enlisting in an Ohio regiment, and served until the close of the war. He has stood defeat calmly and came up smiling ,at the next election, working with a will for the common masses of humanity, and is^thus rewarded. Colonel, we can congratulate y<&‘ John Borer, of Perry county, made application fpr pension twenty-foui years ago* and fiually dispared of re cciving an answer, or an allowance Last summer he renewed his claim, apd received notice a few days since that his pension had been granted. He received $2,500 back pensiou and goes on the roils at $14 per month. From this it will be seen that Hoke Smith is not such a bad fellow after ail. What was the matter with the republican peusion department all tiiose years.

C. H. Layman, grant} secretary of the Ohio Grand Lodgd of Odd Fellows, has received a letter frpm Mas. Jennie Heck, of Albany, Indiana, a prominent member of the Hebe a.ah Degree in which the tatter calls on the Odd Fellows of the Bucke -e State to lead in the effort to make t ie widow of the late vice-president, Schuyler Colfax, comfortable in her; declining years. The writer explains that by reasou of the failure of in Indianapolis bank, a judgment 1 as been rendered against Mrs. Coftuc for $25,OtX), which will leave her practically penniless. Mr. Colfax was a prominent Odd Fellow and be founder of the degree of Rebekah to which women are eligible. Republicans as a genera) thing ire greatly pleased whenever they hear of a factory shutting down, and talk with mpph gusto over the fact. It is all politics with them, not carip f a demnjtiop whether there is prosperity or not, but do fill in their ppwerto help make a panic all for the sake of politics. The following special to the city papers of last Sunday from Elyyood will strike them a little bird, as Col. Conger is one of the stan ichest republicans in Ohio: UCol. A. L. Conger, of Akron, was in the city to-day and announced that on Monday 20 more pots would be sta rted at the Diamond plate glass works here. This will rai6p the number of hands to 200 and (he factory will soon be ruuuing at its full capacity. At a meeting of the board of directors ot the American tin plate company to-day. at which president A. If. Conger was present, it was decided to double the capacity of the fiant and make a tin-mill factory, as it has been foiliid impossible to fill orders at the present rate of production •—300 boxes per week. With t he inr creased facilities they will ei iploy 700 men aud turn out 1,000 box s per week.”

N SB A OF FREEDOM. ' Re 'Oblican politicians are very mud aipazcd and demoralized by the j Uhnsiasm and discipline displays! by the dcmocrala of the Horn e in the closing scenes of the tarili struggle. They and their Rinded p ess have bee» confidently predict! ig that the Wilson bill would split (he democratic party especially if the income tax measure should be inpc porated wdth the bill. The unpree dented scene In the House after bfr. Alison closed the debate and the splendid discipline in the party ranks whi h brought to the support of the bill :ven those who had opposed the incc me tax feature in the debate, unpleasantly dispelled the illusion that had been indulged so long by the republican press and leaders. The thu iders of applause that came from the galleries when the great measure of eform bad triumphantly passed the first stage in its journey to the sta ute books, showed them-that the mu ises were heart and soul with the dei tocracy and the haste with which the bill was engrossed and delivered to the.Senate emphasised the fact that (here fs to be no hailing or untie essary. delay in relieving the people of the heavy curse of protection, lu their disappointment and desperation republicans now cling to the hope that the senate will interpose ol stacles to the passage of the bill through that body and they are b ginning to renew “predictions” that it will either fall entirely or be at changed by amendments as to be u irecognizable as the bill that passed the house. But they will be disappointed again. The spirit of reform pervades the air, the earth, the sky, the very universe. Such amendments as may be made to the bill in the senate will be in the direction of till larger liberty. There are not our democratic senators who will dare (o oppose the mighty impulse or freedom that ii sweeping over he country. Within ten years the .•evenues collected from customs duties will be produced ou less than 100 articles of commerce whereas there are now more than 4,000 npou which tribute is laid,—Evansville Courier.

Tom Taggart’s re-«*iecitiou as State chairman of the democratic committee meets with iho hearty approval of Indiana’s congressmen, the lollowWashington special denotes: “A thrill went through the hearts of the democratic brethern4in congress from Indiapa on hearings Thursday that Thomas Taggart had been re-elected chairman of the^state committee. The Hoosier democrats will enter the fall campaign with tear and; trembling, and they naturally turn llonging eyes in the direction of the old pilot who has weathered several severe storms in Indian^ successfully. There was almost a unanimous sentiment here in favor of Taggart, a»d his name only was mentioned. When it was thought in some quarters that Taggart would not accept the place again, Captain Allen, olt Frankfort, was mentioned as the ne^f most available man, buthis following here never took the form of opposition to Taggart.” Factories are opening up work in every locality, and the depression in times that has been on for several mouths is gradually being lifted, and in a few months the people will be busy as bees iu the humdrum ot business affairs. New factories are being located in various localities and with them comes the increased demand for employes. These high protection times to the laboring man which was promised them in lg$8 was a farce, as every working man iu the country will now attest. A la republican “argument” against jhe Wilson bill!. The hens will not lay any eggs, the cows will give no milk, wool will not grow on the backs of sheep, people will <^uit eating and will not wear any clothes, the sun will not shine, the dew^yrill no more epot the morning air, the rains will come no more, water will run up hill, every chimney will smoke, the hogs will refuse to fatten, nature will stand still and shoel will be to pay and no pitch hot if the Wilson bill becomes a law.
