When will the tiuie arrive when the business men aud the capatilists will act ? This is a question which Is notv puzzling the laboringmen of Petersburg. It is true that |here is btjit little employment here for men who work at days labor, but there is no reason why there should not be plenty of it. With but a small outlay in the way of a money considera- „ tlon manufacturers could be induced to locate here aud operate factories that would use up the iipmeusl quantities of timber that is going to waste. Men who engage |n the timber trade are always on the lookout for localities where timber can be had at a low price and in large quantities, and there is no doubt but what this section has a plenty and to share. Would it not be a wise thing for the moneyed meu a^d business men to work hand in hand and try and secure a few of these woodworking enterprises during the copiing year? Jt would certainly pay for the investment and trouble in a very short time. i

Don't stand back and wait for someone else to make the start, but get right down to work at once. The i* < | town needs it; the laborer needs it; and it might as well be said that the merchant needs it. Dout wait until tomorrow but act today. I Wheu will you act? Xuere will be fifteen republican candidates for governor of Indiana, namely: Charles T. Doxey, <>f Anderson; Charles F. Griffin of Hamilton; George W. Steele, ©1 Marion; W. D. Owen,ofLogansport; Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash; Theodore Shockuey, of Union City; James E Watson and John K. Gowdy of Rushyille; Smiley N. Chambers, of Indianapolis; James N. Houston, of Oonnersville; C. A. Denny and John t>. Griffith of Indianapolis; Frank Posey, ot Evansville; L. P. Dewby,<>f $tnightst;own and Will Cumback, of Greensburg. The name of Charles tj. Henryk of Anderson, is being spoken of by republican leaders, but Mr. Henry has not annouuced himself. Do you want trade? Bid for it. J)o you want business to come to your town ? Eucourage those who do come. Do yob want a prosperous town, whore people can come who at e disposed to make homes? Then do away with aud bury from sight all spite; work together for mutual benefit and to help each other. Republicans were quick enough to charge the democratic party with responsibility for the “hard times," tmt now refuse it credit for returning prosperity. It's a poor rule that does’nt work both ways.

-—.y Opposing Lower Wages. A tecanvasa of the bituminous miners shows that they are unalterably ^opposed to the fifty one cent scale, which was accepted by the delegates one week ago, and they are in bad humor with President Purcell and the other officers for submitting thereto. Seven miners participated in the conference with the operators, of whom two were officers, and these seyeu reported an agreement, hut which now for the second time has been repudiated by the miners. There is a possibility that a demand for the resignation of the officers may be made, so thoroughly are the miiiers imbued with, the belief that the general tendency toward higher wagesin other branches of industry should have a corresponding effect on mining. The fact that Pittsburg river miners are asking for 69 cents has encouraged them into the belief that a pixty-cent rate ought to prevail in the Indiana coal fields. Some of the operators, notably at Washington, Curryville and Star City, are paying 60 ceiits, and the Sullivan cotintv operators are siid to lie willing to do the same. This fact is said to be esausiug dissension among the operators, and it is doutfui if euough of them would be willing to meet again in conference to make it effective. Meanwhile President Purcell has said that the miuers will not he called together again unless the operators have something better to offer than a fifty-ohe-cent scale. Musi Fly Old Glory. Secretary Scott Wike is not to be behind any of the other treasury officials in administrative patriotism. Not long ago, it will be remembered, Assistant Secretary Hamlin was genera)ly commended for au order which directed that ail the vessels belonging to the treasury department should continually fly the United States flag iu order to bring the country’s colors into all waters they might enter. Assistant Secretary Wike has issued a formal order directingMhati the United States flag float upon ejvery building in the country in which there is government business transacted, and over which the treasury department has jurisdiction. The flag is ordered to fly on every business day in the year and all national holidays, February 22, Mav 30 aud July 4. When these last named days come on Sunday the flag is to be displayed ou the day locally observed. Secretary Wike said that in many of the smaller towns throughout the country, especially where the government business was carried on in rented premises, ther*. was no United States llag to designate the government house, and this order is iutended to force such designation.

Indiana Revenue Taxes. The State of Indiana paid iu internal revenue taxes last year the sum of $6,SGI, 164.98, being a little over 4 percent of the total revenues of the government, Illinois came first with $30,000,000. Kentucky second with $19,000,000, New York third with only a few thousand less than the Blue-Grass State, Ohio fourth with $12,000,000, Pennsylvania fifth with $10,000,000, Missouri sixth with $7,000,COO and Indiana seventh. f 1 Of the sum reported from Indiana, Collector Jump, of Terre Haute, collected $4,355,821.85 and Collector Brackett, of Lawreuceburg, $2,448,‘34313. Another Change in Effect. Siueej the Nicholson bill went into effect, and the dice box and card table are forbidden in saloons, the boys are at a loss to determine who shall “set’em up,” and various schemes have been devised to get around the law. Here is the latest now in uset Each man takes a small piece of paper, dips it in the beer and then they are placed side by side along the counter, aud theg. the owner of the piece of paper that Is first visited by a fly has! to *‘set’em up” August Weather. August comes iu as a regular vulI can storm period comes on, hence it will grow steadily warmer during the opening days of the month, the barometer will fall to the storm readings progressively from west to east, followed by storms in the same general order, from about 2nd to 6th, says Prophet Hicks The period will culminate not far front the full of^the moon, on the 5th, followed immediately, and up lo about the 8th, by rising barometer with cooler fair weather. The 8th and 9th are central days, ipi which a series of reactionary disturbances will develope and run their courses. Those who own barometers, or who watch official reports of barometer readings, will note the grow lb and progress of storm conditions from about 7 to 10—first in the west, winding up In Atlantic coast regions. Correct observations will show that the change to higher prea1

I i‘ ■ ■ *** ' wire and cooler air will faU between 9 and 13—not over the country generally on any given date, but progressively from west to east within the specified time. From about the 13th to 17th falls the next regular storm period, embracing the moon’s last quarter on the 13th. All the changes to much warmer, soutberuly winds, falling barometer and storms, will show themselves in regular order during the period named. The probabilities are that, while storms, and marked storm conditions move ovdr the country at that time, there will be a j! manifest falling off in the amount of || general! rain-fall. The local cloudburst tendency for the season may expromt itself hero and there, but blue-1 tering clouds and thuuder, with little rain, will be the general order. A change to cooler, higer atmospheric pressure and westerly • winds will follow from about 16 to 18th. The moon will not be between us and the sun on the 20th, which is the new mo<>n, but that it will be in perigee, or at its nearest approach to the earth on the same date. Not only these, but the moon will be at one of its eclipses points, bringing it on a direct line with the earth and sun, producing am eclipse of the sun on the same, seen on the other side of our globe. These tilings, added to the fact that reactionary storm disturbances are central on the 20 and 21, indicate that ver^i marked and dangerous storm perturbations are apt to fall between the 19 and 22, or touchiug these dates. A hut wave, with menacingly low barometer, will precede the storms and many earthquake shivers in various parts of the globe will be very natural consequences. The earth’s autumnal equinox wili bear on the period and help to aggravate the phenomena. Cooler weather with | anti-storm conditions will fojlow j from about the 22 to 24. From the 24th to 27th is a regular storm disturbance, with equinoxes (of Mercury and earth bearing on the i period. It will culmiuate in active i storms and other phenomena, not | far from the moon’s first quarter, or about the 26th. Watch the clouds and expect much violent bluster, with heavy local downpours. The month goes out in the center of a Mercury j perturbation, with reactionary storm conditions on their eastward march warm, falling barometer and threatening. Cure for Headache.

BESET WITH DANGER. FREE RAW MATERIAL WILL WORK OUR “UNDOING.** V and XeKlntoj Have (Sow Unheeded. Haw Idle Mill* Would Hava Helped Bailee——Cheap Coat* uad Hen. The evils that McKinley and Reed j predicted would follow the removal or lowering of the tariff are becoming more manifest every hour. Oar woolen mills have been running night and day for j months, being among the leaders in the industrial revival, whereas if the protests of the Ohio Wool growers’ association had been heeded the raw material oould not have been so profitably worked, and goods would not have been put : down to starvation prices in order to compete with the panper products of Eu- j rope. t As a good suit of clothes can now be bonght at retail for $10, and as a cheap coat means a cheap man, the nation will be degraded as well as lose the benefit of years of education in the maintenance of high wages by means of high tariffs. Had the mills staid idle a few months longer, we should not now be talking of the return of prosperity and an era of cheap prices at the same time. And when prosperity did come the workingman could take his big salary and pay the manufacturers the old established 40 per cent profit and respect himself as much as the gambler who throws away his last quarter for a cigar. The sudden rise of men like - Carnegie from penury to oolossal Wealth would encourage him to speculate with such money as he could save or barrow, banks would be established, boom towns would be built, lucky investments would go up like rockets, and when he bad won his fortune he wouldn’t know how to value it and himself by the knowledge of the hundreds of his comrades who had failed. Nor is this alL When wo took off the duties on certain raw materials, we not only made low prices of manufactured goods possible here but all over the world. This led to such increased consumption at home that our manufacturers have been producing enormous stocks in the effort to keep up with their orders, and new men have been coming into business, who have rushed into markets that the older and wiser generation neglected, thus letting down the bars to all manner of future disasters. They have been carrying coals to Newcastle by shipping woolen goods to Bradford and shoes to Bristol. The result will be that when they shall have lost all their money, once the English see fit to cut prices, the foreigner will again seize our markets, and we shall be ground under the iron heel of English gold. Already they have begun reprisals by marking down tljeir goods and threatening to overrun the new Asiatic and South American markets, which we might have captured by judicious stealth, with the added satisfaction of making the heathen pay double or triple the profits that v.*e can get from the British. The Christian prerogative of spoiling the lands of the benighted are thus lost to ns forever. Likewise we have subjected ourselves to still another menaea We have no tariff on hides, and when the supply ran low here our tanners went abroad and bought in Argentina and Australia, being compelled to pay 100 per cent more than 12 months ago. Under the McKinley regime raw materials were cheap and only manufactured products high, thus putting the chief burden of production on the former, where it rightly belongs. We do not deny that in this case leather has gone up enormously, but this has been used to our disadvantage, just as it was in a different way with cheap woolen goods. The Boston Commercial Bulletin, a stanch high tariff weekly, had the following mournful intelligence in last Saturday’s market reports:

Some rears nave Deen expressed mat vne rise tn hides would cut American tanners off from the foreign markets, but this will not be the case, for our people can buy hides as cheap as anybody else, and the rise here has been followed by a corresponding advance on the other aide, so that the relative cost of producing leather in the eastern and western hemis pheres is unchanged. But another element comes now into play which is suocinctly confessed by the London Shoe and Leather Record: ‘“The English market has never influenced the American to any extent, either by buying largely or by holding off. Pur American cousins simply usod our manufacturers as a means of getting rid of their surplus stock au^ consigned goods hers at suck low prices that people were tempted to use them and shut out other material. At last, then, we have got to depend on them for our supplies, and of course now that we want the goods we shall have to pay their market prioe for them. “ There we have it Heretofore our sellers have let the English market severely alone, but now a hypocritical trade.1' journal is seeking to decoy tanners into the trap to Which we have already alluded. In other words, the English are following the masterly plan employed by France with Germany in 1870—to decoy the enemy on her soil and then, crash him to death in her embrace. It -is true the burly Teutons were able to s arrive | the French hug, but is onr case parallel? Have we not been repeatedly warned by Governor McKinley and Mr. Reed that onr manufacturers are in no condition to eope with British gold and British cheap labor? Oflce we invade England’s industrial markets, we shall have onr ships burned behind us, and when we have grappled with the enemy we shall be his’n. We can see from this that no matter how business continues, we have laid the foundation of our undoing. If prosperity do not fully return, it will be be- j cause onr industries were stricken down i in the Democratic congress, and if it do, I it will be to overwhelm ns utterly with j the cheap prices and the low instincts ; that go hand in hand with the sordid habits of economy we have acquired dnrthe hard times. —Louisville (. ourierJournaL _ Mot a Believer In the Old Ma lm.
