He wants another term of office. The democrats made pensions a vested right. Who gave $72 per month to totally disabled veterans? The republicans didn’t do it. The democrats did. The miners of Pike county should remember those who work for their best interests, and give those who work against their interests the cold shoulder on election day. The ring is very blue tl»ese days. They know that their “pet” candidates are no longer in the race. Voters, it is now time to set down on the gang who manipulate things in Pike county to suit their own sweet will. The democrats have put out full tickets in every towuship. Every man on the various township tickets are worthy and competent to discharge the duties of the offices for which they are nominated and should be elected. Major G. V. AIenzies, one of the best known orators in Indiana, will make four speeches in Pike county pext week. As an orator he has but ” few equals and it will be a great treat to the people of the localities where he is to speak. Voters of all parties should'turn out to hear him discuss the issues.

There is a little booklet iust published that is of a very high literary production and is eutitled “What the Republican Party has doue for the protection ol^tie Workingman and Farmer.” ThP® work is highly instructive aud shows just what the party has done for that class of people. They eau be secured from almost any person. Mr. Blaine prophesied hard times when the tariff should be changed. But the hard times came before the tariff was changed, and siuce the change the times have decidedly improved. It should be set down to Mr. Blaine’s credit that he did his best to prevent the enactment of the McKinley tariff in the odious shape in which it finally passed despite his iudiguant denunciation. ? Judge Lacombe in the United grates Circuit Court, rendered a decision in the case of John James Howard, Levi P. Morton's coachman. The Judge dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and ordered Howard to be taken back to Ellis Island. He will be sent back to Europe. Levi is fhe republican candidate for governor f»f Kew York. The laws of the counjnust be obeyed. ■*

Jim Brumfield was sheriff for tour years; warned to be auditor and now wants to be clerk. Seems to a “man up a tree*' that ho wants office. Hon. Leroy M. Wade, of Ml. Vernon, is addressing the people ot the county this week. Mr. Wade is an! eloquent speaker and should be heard j by all the voters of P»ke county.

The republican party have denounced it and will repeal it. The McKinley ovation continues. Mighty poor consolation for those democratic organs that continually howl about the Ucath.of Protection —Press. Thomas Reed, of Maine, also has a very poor opinion of McKinley’s robber protection, lienee he says that should the republican party gain control of congress not a line of the present tariff law would be changed. Reed thinks it a good law and so does The People.

Yes, but what is the use to mention sugar when the republicans wont talk about it. Two months ago they were full of sweetened wind and fairly writhed in ecstasy at the prospect of high priced sjngwrunder the new tariff law. But sugar fooled ’em. Instead, of going up it went right down, down, down. Now you can buy 6 or 7 pounds mKre of fine granulated sugar for a dollar, than vou could under the McKinley law* last summer. It fooled ’em as bad as the Shermans silver law. It did just what they didn’t expect or want. Owing to Congressman Taylor’s illness last Friday and Saturday caused by his continued speaking throughout the first district he was compelled id give up his appointments at Needmore, Yelpen and Augusta. S- G. Davenport filled the date at Needmore and made an excellent speech to a very large audience. Mr. Davenport and D. Chappell supplied the Yelpen and< Augusta appointments and at each place had large and appreciative audiences. Mr. Taylor was able to fill other appointments although not wholly recovered. He has been having excellent meetings throughout the district and will lie re-elected by a handsome majority. The democrats of Logan township met last Saturday at Center school house and nominated a township ticket. It was the largest convention ever held in the township, and neaYly every democrat took part in selecting the ticket. The nominations made will meet with the hearty support of the voters of the township and will be elected by a good majority. The following men were selected for the various offices: Trustee, Joseph M. Willis. Assessor Adam E. Clem. Justices of the peace, John L. Miller and Morgan W. Phillips. Constables, Oscar Jenkins and Elmer Inman. Mr. Willis, for trustee, is a man of vast experience. He has the proper qualifications to manage the aflairsof the township and will make the people a splendid official. The other nominations are good and the voters of that towuship should not hesitate to elect them on the 6th of November which they will surely do.

One week from next Tuesday occurs the election. Every voter in Pike county should cast his vote for one or the other of the two great political parties now before the people. To the voters of Pike county the democratic party has given an exceptionally strong ticket, made up of men coming from the masses of the people. They are not common chronic office seekers, but men who were not seeking a nomination. Every man on the democratic ticket is a hard working man in his line of work. The majority of the men are farmers and have never held office or been before the people for an office. Their qualifications are of the best and when elected, which they will be on the 6th of November, they will give their best efforts toward lessening the expenses of the county. These men have been making an active canvass of the county and are now very well known to every voter and should have the hearty support of all at the polls. They hre fair-minded men and of the strictest iutegnty and will make good and accommodating officials.

Voters, If you want the uew tax law to stand ou the statute books vote for the democratic representatives. Rkmkmbei: that lion. J. G. ShankUn speak* in this city Wednesday night, October 3ist. This should be a biff meeting. Let every voter come out and hear the gifted orator. Voters, attend the meetings advertised ttn- next week and hear the issues ably and fairly discussed. Republicans, populists, prohibitionists and democrats are invited. See dates and places in another column. i-i"11™1 . ... Thkkb Is no indication that a single candidate on ttuydehiocratio ticket will be elected this fall and Indeed why should he?—Press. That sounds well. Why should Kimnan,' Brumfield, Beaeh and the other republican candidates be elated. Have they done auything tor Pike county that would entitle them to the votes of the people. Well hardly. They havo not saved a cent of money to ths fax-payers of the county. _ The republicans of Pike county have decided on a **stilt hunt** in the present campaign, and bv a cry of hard times, low price of wheat, high price for hogs and corn, the scarcity of fruits and a general calamity bowl all along the tine, are attempting to win a victory in this county. They will not let their candidates diseuss a single issue of county, state or nation before the voters of the county, and why? Because they have no issues to present to the people. Vote for a party that have some issues and a plat torn) on which to stand. Ask still the republican candidates tor representative and joint-senator will not debate the issues with the candidates of the democratic, populist and prohibition parties. The republican party in the present campaign have no issues whatever to present to the voters of Pike county. Every speech so tar delivered has been nothing but a calamity howl about hard times, and which the republican party is responsiblcrfor. The People want the issues. Next week will yet be time enough tor all the candidates to meet in joint discussion. Conic to time or draw in votir horns.

In Ills Ann Arbor speech ho gave it as hi» opinion t !>a t the republicans won hi .notmake the MeKinhx law an issue in 1890 Conditions have chunked materially in the past six or eight years, he -aid, and there is room for mauy modifications of the McKinley bill. He intimated that the McKinley law was not the conception of the republicans. In this he confesses that the present “off-year** republican campaign is one of false pretenses. The Harrison plan of attributing the financial distress of the country to the abrogation of this law, which was “not the conception of republicans.** is by Reed*s admission a cheap hit of claptrap, a species of gudgeon bait which his party is using more or less adroitly. Tom Reed Is a rat with a long head. He is quick to realize that the ship is sinking and prompt to leave it. The miners of Pike county have nothing to fear in the .vay of legislation from the democratic party. Every law enacted and now on the statute books* have been passed by the democrats and opposed in every instance by republican legislators, backed up by the corporations. If our miner boys want these laws repealed a vote for the republican candidates will do it. The miuers will remember their friends and their enemies on election day. Have the miners any friends among the republican candidates? Point them out. Will they, if elected, do as officials have formerly done? These are questions for

miners to discuss among themselves. They know what laws have been passed for their protection and by whom they were championed and made laws. They know who tried to defeat these measures iu every instance. The following are a few of the laws passed by democratic legislatures in favor of the laboring man, and these laws extend into Pike county: * It passed the mechanics’ lien law. it passed the law giving laborers a lien upon the product of their tabor for wages and material furuisbed. It passed the law protecting labor organisations. , It passed the law providing for the safety of miners and the proper ventilation of mines. It passed the law constituting eight hours a day’s labor in public employment. It passed the law prohibiting the blacklisting of employes. It passed the law prohibiting “piuek me” stores. It passed the employes’ liability law. It passed the law prohibiting the importation of Pinkerton detectings. It passed the law against the importation of|alien or foreign laborers It enaeted the school-book law. It devised and passed the present tax law. It passed the new fee and salary kaw. It enacted the Barrett improvement law.

Congressman A. H. Taylor has • just closed his campaign in this cottniv, and was greeted at every point with the target ami most enthusiastic crowds ever witnessed at politics? meetings lathis county. It’s only a question of how many, a majority is assured.—Rockport Democrat. The Press says the business men of Petersburg had a big trade last Saturday. An 'open confession is good for the soul, B!llv. Business is booming right along, and m>u are now doing more business and making more money than ever before in vottr life. And right under a democratic administration.

Last Saturday was a great day for our merchants. Every o,ue enjoyed a good trade and consequently all were happy.—Press. Tluti's just what we have been preaching all the time. Sometimes you catch a republican editor telling the truth. The tacts are that the people are just on the eve of one of the most prosperous tears in business circles ever known in the history of the county. Business has been fairly good in Petersburg ever since the republican panic occurred and since restoration of aflaits in general business has been on the h.*om. It Is decided!) amusing to hear the expressions of holy horror with which our republican friends greet the small concessions to the sugar trust, contained in the democratic law, iu ilie face of the fact that under their various laws concessions i© the trust have been from tour , to sixteen times that ot the present law, and in face of the additional fact that their, law built up and fostered the suga'trust as well as many other tru-ts, among which may be mentioned the hat trust, the tin trust, the brass trust, the collar and cuff trust, the linen trust, the wall paper trust, the woolen trust, the copper trust, t. e iron trust, the steel trust, the cordage trust, the coal trust, the pearl button ■ trust, the shoe trust, the silk trust, * and others too numerous to mention! in one day. They will please give us] a rest on the trust business.

If all the wheels that the Democrat has in its head were apjktiea to some stKKi purpose they would run about half a doaen of our idle factories 'J'nere has always been a republican "ring” of some kind according to the Democrat.—Press. There ate no ’aetorios itt Peters- ; bnre but what are running, ami be- ! shies that The Democrat has never made w at* *>»» a single industry of t*he I town. The Pre-s1 r< cord is diffcieip. Itt regard to tlte last statement tlte last primary election of the repnbhj cans show conclusively that there i> [a ring in Pike county republicanism. |Every ring candidate of Petersburg was nominated or those whom the ring championed. Such men as Wesley Chandler, Hurston Annstrong, John Young, Lewis Loveless and others were not triembers of the select tew who were destined »o hold nominations. The new editor, of the Press is too young to understand much about political rings. Occasionally you will hear some persons taik against the school book law of Indiana, and for what good reasons they can not tell you. Why is it? Are they in favor of abolishing a law that has saved the people of Indiana a half million of dollars each year for the past five years? Right thinking and fair-minded fathers and mothers are glad that just j such a law is on-the statute books of j this state. They know exactly what j the school books are going to cost them. A republican accosted the editor of this paper with the remark, that the law was a taiiure and an unjust one. We will agree with the gentleman this far that it has been a failure and an unjust one to the old school book corporations who had throttied the people of the state into paying extortionate prices for school books. They were getting a half million of dollars each year from the people of Indiana, hut by the wise actiou of a democratic legislature five years t»go the present school system of books was adopted and prices regulatiug their sale. In Pike county there has been a saving each year to the people of about $3,000 on school books That is quite an item. To show the difference in the prices we called on a book dealer ami asked the prices on books under the old system and the new, and append the same to this article. You will find, dear reader, that the prices are cut square in two: «,

SUGAR UNDER THE NEW TARIFF. FMt» Cooeemlns the Price Per Pound That VViU interest Voter*. The Republican prophecy that the new tariff would increase the price of sugar is effectually disproved. The official records of the wholesale price of refined sugar in Philadelphia show that the price has not increased, and a comparison of the wholesale prices of refined sugar for the month of September in the last four years reveals the faet that sugar at present is nearly 1 cent a pound cheaper than it was in 1893. The figures are taken from thd official records and quote the price of sugar on Sept. 1 for the past four years as follows: 1891—1 MO cents a pound. 1899—3 cents. 18'J8—5% cents. 1801—3 cents. On the 15th of the same month, each year, the quotations were: 1891—cents a pound. 1899—5 M« cents. 1898—5% cents. 1894—5 cents. , 8 The new law went into operation Ang. 28 and on Sept. 15 sugar was 5 cents a Sund, whereas on Oct. 1 the price had lien to 4 11-16 cents a pound. IS A REVELATION ~LNDEED. THE OPERATION OF THE WOOL SCHEDULE OF THE NEW TARIFF.

A Ke« Impetus Given to the Sh$ep Raising Industry—Better Prices For Kaw Wool and Cheaper Prices For Clothing and Blankets, With More Work For Employes In the Mills—Free Wool a Blessing to Everybody. Since the repeal of the McKinley blight and the enactment of • the new Democratic revenue tariff the Republicans have ceased to taunt Democrats by the cry of “Democratic times,” says the Evansville Courier. The tremendous reduction in all of the necessaries and comforts of life since the new tariff went info operation on Aug. 38 has convinced everybody who has made pur- j chases since then that a Democratic tar- : iff means good times for the consumer j however it may affect anybody else. ; But it also benefits the manufacturer | and the wage earner. It enables the ; mill owner to employ more men at as ; good, and in some instances at better, wages than they have received under the McKinley curse. Here is a letter which shows that as a result of froe wool wages have been restored: Lowell MaxuKACTURisa Company. Milk Street, Boston, Sept. 21. Bernard Goldstein, Esq.* Milwaukee: Dear Sir—la reply to yours of the 18th I would say that, in accordance with the j understanding the special reduction of j wages made to take edbui Dec. 2b, 1883, | was restored Sept. 4, 1881, said understand- ! ing. being that the wages would be restored j if the tariff bill, making wool free, passed. Yours truly, John Hogg, Treasurer pro tern. This is an instance where wages that | wore reduced under McKinleyism have | been restored under the new tariff, for ; it should be remembered that the Me- j Kiniey abomination was in full force up ! to Aug. 28. 181)4, the day* on which the new tariff' became a law. But this is not all. Free wool has j stimulated the manufacture of American fabrics and even those who have stoutty opposed it are now warm in its approval. Here is a striking instance of tins kind, taken from a letter written by one of the leading woolen manufacturers of

Plmadelptna, a Kepuoucan, ro a prominent; dry goods merchant of Pittsburg: The operation of the new tariff has been a revelation to me. We are making more woolens, because of free wool, of a better quality, are selling more goods and employing more men. The operations of the new tariff are “a revelation” to this manufacturer because he had been deceived by his party leaders into believing that to make raw wool free would destroy tne wool-grow-ing industry in the United States and compel all home manufacturers to rely entirely upon foreign wools for their supply. But it is already apparent that the number of sheep will be increased under the new tariff because the increased demand for wool consequent upon the removal of the tariff from wool and the*preparation of American woolen mills to turn out goods fine enough to compete with English and French made cloths in the world’s markets, has already strengthened the wool market and will undoubtedly advance the price of wool grown in the United States. Domestic wool is not suitable by itself for the manufacture of the finest grades of goods, but mixed with Spanish wools,which now oome in free, it answers every requirement and our woolen mills need no longer hesitate to reach out for the best trade in every part of the world. The Philadelphia mill owner is ftrmiy convinced after two months’ experience with the new tariff that he can compete with English and French goods, not only in the United States, but caii successfully invade English and French markets with American “all wool” cloths. No wonder the result of free wool has proved “a revelation” to him. He has been following, false prophets and never would have known it had not the new tariff law, with its free wool schedule, taught him by actual experience that the Democratic position has always been right; that he can make better qualities of goods at less cost than those of inferior quality have costand

that the increased demand makes it I necessary fear him to employ mare men. CLAMBAKE AND BARBECUE. The Former at Peru, the Latter at Salem. Cheap Railroad Rates.
