One Tear, In advance.. .... $1 85 Six Months, In advance.:. 65 Entered at the postotHce in Petersburg for transmission through the mails as seeoudclass matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 21,1895. Democratic Doctriue. “We hold,’' to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coiuage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar jinit of coiuage of both metals must be .of equal intrinsic and exchangeable yalue to be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with any redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring clases the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency.—National Democratic Platform 1892. The total expeuses of Dubois county for the current year were $27,551.74. ; * It looks like that things have made B change in Pike county. The change is that county orders are not paid for 1he want of funds. Republicans have been referring to the silver movement as “a silver braze.” jNow that the “craze” has struck that party, they will i*efer to it as the silvor question. The supreme court has held the law good relative to the appointment of trustees for the prisons by the new law. The uew law takes the appointing power out-of the hands aof the governor. The new appointees of the republicans will take charge at once. To the republicans of Pike county a hint— jthe party can not be handicapped too much and be successful in the next election.—News. The official organ is now onto the racket and the editor sees the handwriting on the wall. The people will oust extravagance, and don’t you forget it. _", *

The secretary ot state has included the custodian bill in with the other laws recently enacted. * It is said that .Governor Matthews will issue his proclamation proclaiming the laws in force with the exception of the custodiaii bill, i The original bill was burned up. The fun has commenced. John Sherman’s speech before the Ohio convention indicates that the republicans are planning to make another straddle on the money question next year. They will try to Juggle the silver question throughout another campaign-by the adoption of a platform that both gold and silver republicans will interpret to suit themselves according to their particular locality.^ HflE editor of the Press in a recont article made the statement that The Democrat was short on county print? ing. We acknowledge the corn. No air, Tjie Democrat’ is not in it. £iegal5 come higher to the tax-pavers siuce the republican office-holders have taken charge of affairs. All polices are now published in the two pfficiid organs to keep harmony in the party. The Democrat prints the trs free of charge. i : *. - '*•

When Foraker tak«» the Ohio stump for United States Senator there will fall a heavy clew upon the McKinley movement which will augrnent the fear of a fall in the lake level. The assessing of Pike county cost 12,542 this year. Washington township was the most expensive costing $531. The assessing of Madison township oust $113. Last year Washington township cost $323.

Tucks are now only ten licensed saioous io Pike county. Petersburg has two, Winslow two, and Algiers, Otwell, Littles, Ayrshire, Velpen, and Stendal one each. The probabilities are that there will not be a saloon in the county after the first of January, 1896. At the June term of the commissioners’court the members granted themselves a total of 1129.50 extra pay. The statutes of Indiana give counties the size of Pike four sessions of nine days each, and extra sessions may be had when called together by the auditor.' Of the extra allowances Carlisle received $77.00; lladiock $45.50, and Welton, $7 00. When wheat sold for forty and .fifty cents a bushel republican calamity shriekers said that it was caused by the democratic administration and its inability to manage the affairs of the government. Now that dollar wheat is in sight they say it is because wheat is a scarcity and dollars plentiful. It is a wonder these windy pirates don’t run out of jeweled mis> representations occasionally. The results of the last election show that the people of Pike county had pot tired of the Democratic county officials doing nothing but drawing their salary, for fear of political results, and in their place put men at the wheel that were not afraid to do their duty at all times.—News. The people also understand that the couutv is now greatly in debt, so muchso that county orders are floating for want of funds to pay the legitimate running expenses thereof. Pike county is controlled by republicans, county orders are also selling at a discount.— Democrat. If Bro. Stoops will consult the records he will And something he evidently dpas not know. He will see that there has been more j real progress iu the county during the last few years than ever before. We have stuck to mossback ideas long enough. The county’s money has been expended ip a manner that will leave enduring monuments to the publio spirit,fearlessness and patriotism of our commissioners.—Press. We are not jaw are of the number of monuments erected. That makes no material difference to the public. The orders have been floated and more will follow in the due course of time. The debt ot the county has beeu increased nearly $40,000 during the past year, but the people will worry aloug and pay it. The New York World says that when the decision of the supreme court holding the iucome tax law unconstitutional, was announced bankers and brokers swarmed out of their offices to congratulate each other and cut as many antics as school boys in their delirious delight over the construction of the constitution which enabled them ot escape bearing a just and equitable proportion of federal taxation. Among these nabobs the decision was unanimously approved. In striking contrast to this scene of hilarity was4hat through which Justice Harlan passed^ As he appeared on the streets of Washington, he was me^ by many toilers whom he did not know, who seized his hand and warmly thanked him for his brave Words in their behalf as set forth iu his dissenting opinion.

The McKinley tarift went into^effect October 3890, and soon its deadly effect6 began to be felt. The man who had his wages increased or the firm which increased the wages of its employes due to the McKinley tariff is no more easily fouud than a proverbial needle in a hay sWk while on the contrary the wages of hundreds and thousands of laborersNyero reduced uuder the law Wt-vouti»ued so until after the democratic tariff went into effect last August. The increase of wages of the thousands of laborers which have been noted in this and every other paper of the country, and which continued to be noted in the telegraphic columns daily are certainly increasing under a democratic tariff and can be ascribed to no other cause, and wages are beiug restored to what they were before they vrero reduced under the McKinley law. Here are the facts' condensed : McKinley tariff, October 1890 to August 1894: Effect—A depression in 1893 which closed factories, reduced wages and almost precipitated a panic. Wilson tariff only in operation a little over nine months. Effect —Advancing wages, signs of prosperity visible on every hand, establishments opened which have been closed since 1893—Hock port Democrat

[1 > All Honor to H1h. ■f In a broad diKusnion of a broad subject Senator Turpie is adding another laurel wreath to tho§p he had earned before. Ho is oue of the greatest statesmen of otir day. Further, bh; performances in the Senate of the United States have been 5of a character which,place him on a level with Webster and Calhoun. With ail respect for the great line ot liidianianst who have represented

ims siaie in me national oeuaie, u must be owned that Mr. Torpie is entitled to the highest place so far as actual scholarship is concerned. Hie accomplish meats have provoked the charge that be rs a book-worm. Senator Morgan, of Alabama iu hie speech supporting the Nicaragua caual scheme, which Senator T&rpfc has opposed, quoted upon him the Shakesperian phrase: “Too much learning hath made him mad." But Senator Turpie is not impracticable upon any great question. Like all men of learning he goes to the bottom ot the subject before expressing npon it his opiuion. Such men are rare. They have made history from the time of Solon. It was the Greek lawgiver that gave a philosophy to the world whose apostles have been Burke and Chatham in England and Webster and Turpie iu America. It is a matter of pride, which every Indianian shares, that David Turpie was chosen to preside over ?the great convention at Memphis. Iu his brief oration., he showed himself to be worthy of the honor and to have his name enrolled upon the same tablet with the greatest of American statesmen.—Evausville Courier. Ex-Congressman Taylor. The following special from Washington City appeared in the Indianapolis News of last Saturdav: The presence of ex-Cougressman Taylor of Petersburg. Indiana, iu Washingtou this week, prompted an Indiaua democrat iu office here to make the following observation: “Taylor is one of the members ot the last Congress whose name will figure conspicuously in the future politics of Indiana. While most of the other representatives from that state who retired on March the 4 took a solemn pledge to eschew pq|itics for ail future time, Taylor returned to his home with the fires political of ambiliou burning brightly within. He can undoubtedly be leuominated tiext year it he desires, but I am of the opinion that lie will forego me nomination next year anil strengthen himself for a successful run iu 1898. lie is not limited to the congressional race, fori am tolduhat he has a well developed ambition to be governor of the state, and hjs name may be presented to the next statu convention for that honor.” The correspondent of the News is evidently mistaken in saying that Mr. Taylor is a candidates for governor as he is enthusiastically in favor of the Hon. J. G. Shauklin for the gubernatorial nomination, and believes that that gentleman will be the next governor of Indiana. It is a common idea says a horse buyer that the change in motive power for street cars and the consequent disuse of horses thus reducing the demand is largely responsible for the decline in the prices of horses. This is true of a certain class of horses but not the best bind. What affects the price of horse more than the bicycle. This has taken the place of ladies and gents riding and driving horses. People in geueral do not realize how disastrous the bicycle has been to the borse market. The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Caillouett, druggist. Beaversville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with la grippe and tried all the physicans for miles about but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King’s New Disoovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won’t keep store or bouse without it.” Get a free trial at J. R. Adams & Son’s drug store.
