REMINGTON.
Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Frank Rich and his estimable wife, formerly of Remington now residing in Brook, paid their many friends in Remington a visit recently. Frank is one of the staunchest of the people’s party adherents and an excellent citizen. We wish him prosperity in his business enterprises in his new location as he merits it. # Mr. and Mrs. John Farrell living northwest of Remington a few miles have had their family increased one, by the recent addition of a daughter. Mr. Matt Ream living two miles west of Remington has sold his farm, also his personal property at a public sale. We are informed that Mr. Ream will remove from here and relocate somewhere in the eastern part of this state. Mr. Ream is a good citizen and we are very sorry to lose him from this community. We commend him to the people with whom he may locate. Rev, J. D. Carson will commence a series of revival meetings at the Green school house, north-west of Remington, next Sunday evening. He had intended to commence the meetings two weeks preceding the time above indicated, and would have done so but the state of the weather was so very inclement as to absolutely prevent the holding of the meetings. At the meeting of our board ol town trustees held last Friday evening a petition was presented praying the board to ascertain the probable cost of a good waterworks system for the town of Remington. and also ascertain the merits of the various kinds in use. The petition was signed by about eighty of the citizens of the town, and Messrs. W. E. Peck, Jasper Guy and Ira W. Yeoman were appointed a committee to investigate the matters and to report its findings at the next regular meeting. Henry Welsh is improving his property in the south part of town by building a good substantial new barn on the same. Brother Welsh has a splendid property already, and this qew acquisition will greatly enhance the convenience and value of the same. John M. Ott will build a good SI2OO residence on his lots in the north part of town the coming season. He has a splendid location, having built a good barn thereon last season. He will move into the property when he has completed his new house. He is a good citizen and will be welcomed here. Quite a goodly number of the Remington K. of P. attended a district meeting of that order at Logansport last Wednesday, returning home on the 4:30 a. m. train Thursday morning. They report a good time. A little girl of Samuel Burlings died last Thursday evening with malignant scarlet fever, and was buried in the Remington cemetery Friday afternoon. Ira W. Yeoman made a business trip to Wolcott, Ind., on last Friday. At this writing the weather is a little more like winter, yet it is not cold by any means. Would like to see it cold enough to make ice.

Correspondence to People’s Pilot. [The following items were received too late for publication in last week’s issue.] Health generally good. Roads are very muddy. ■The Christian people are holding a protracted meeting at Virgie. Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Cooper were made happy by the advent of a ten pound boy Jan. 22. We are sorry to have to record the death of Frederick Haselbring caused by the kick of a horse. Ex-trustee Wm. Cooper is building a fine house and barn on his farm recently purchased in the north end. We think the commissioners would be far bettdr conserving the interests and welfare of their constituents if they would build a decent and passable approach to the south end of Burk's bridge, instead taxing the people at this time to build a new court building. By the action of the present commissioners, and former ones, the people have been compelled for several years to drive through water and ice for a long period of each year. The south approach has been covered from one to three feet in water and ice the present winter and it is only a repetition of what has occurred annually ever since the road was first opened to the public. The approach is dangerous from three to four months of each year, and the facts in the premises are well known to the present commissioners. If the commissioners would make the desired improvement. whic- is absolutely necessary, instead of building a new court house the people would rise up and call them blessed instead of condemning them m their present course. Frank J. Gant.

Members of the peoples party are requested to meet at their usual places of meeting in the several townships of Jasper county March 21, 1896, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of electing a chairman for each precinct and perfecting the precinct organization as was done about two years ago. The precinct chairmen then selected will constitute the county central committee, and will meet at the Nowels House in Rensselaer, March 28, 1896, for the purpose of perfecting the county organization, setting time for holding of nominating convention, and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting.

Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Weather pleasant and roads improving. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap is improving. She has been very low but with good nursing we hope she will be much better by next writing. Misses Caldwell and Chilcote visited in Rensselaer Sunday. Mrs. Merry returning with them. John Baker, who lives east of town, is going to move to town the first of March and occupy the Scott Brinnar property. Mrs. Budd has left to visit her parents in the south part of the state. Mr. Budd will follow with household goods and accept a position at Kingman. We are sorry to lose him, as he is a jolly fellow and will be missed in his office by the town. His vacancy will be filled by Mr. Zerby, a former agent at this place. He served the public very successfully when here before and we hope he will again. Rev. Austin closed his meetings Tuesday of last week. The roads being very bad and nights dark, he did “not receive very good attendance. His talks were highly appreciated by the people. Jackson township will hold 'thejregular monthly institute at the school building next Saturday, Feb. 15. Their will be an examination at Mt. Ayr, Saturday, Feb. 15. for pupils to graduate from the common school. The Jolly Klan met at Lee Haskell’s Tuesday evening, Feb. 4. The evening was passed in social talk and playing crokinole. At ten the Royal Prince called the house to order and asked for those who had not lost a game during the evening only two could respond, Mr. Pumphrey and Miss Hess, and the medal was delivered to them by Mr. Sigler.
Debt and Bond Blessings.
To tlie Editor of the People’s Pilot. I want to speak my piece about the court house. I am not surprised at the action of our worthy commissioners, they are republicans; their effort to put the tax payers of the county under an interest bearing debt of a hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand dollars is in perfect harmony with the policy of their party, and if the honorable board were democrats I could truthfully say the same thing. For years both the old parties have manifested much interest in the developmentof the ‘bond industry,” as John Clark Ridpath calls it. They have been running national, state and county government regardless of cost to the people; spending morey as though it were water, and when they cannot find it in the treasury they get it by putting more intorest bearing bonds upon the tax payers; by this method they have developed the most wonderful industry ever known to any civilization; they have made tens of thousands of millionaires and ixiillions of tenants slaves and paupers; they have largely increased bankruptcy, suicide and murder, and still seem intent on carrying out the same policy.
I am neither a democrat nor a republican, but if I had helped to elect men upon such platforms and pledged to such a policy I would not turn and kick them for carrying it out. They tell us that debt and bonds are blessings; they may be so to those who own them and collect them, but certainly not to those who have them to pay. They believe in bonds, they advocate bonds, big bonds and little bonds, long bonds and short bonds, but always interest bearing bonds, with principal and interest payable in gold. They believe also in carrying an idle hundred million in the treasury; they believe in national banks based upon bonds; they believe also in trusts, syndicates and corporations; these are some of the luxuries we have received at their hands and are now enjoyirig the benefits of. I think that all interest bearing debt ought to be avoided as much as possible by all who expect to succeed financially. Henry Ward Beecher once said that “in terest eats as fast when a man is asleep as when he is awake."” At the present time I think we can get along better with the old court house than we could with the new one and the hungry bonds feeding upon us. All bonds, banks, syndicates, trusts and corporations are always hungry and always eating (they are created for that purpose) and the faster they eat the more they are worth to their owners and holders; they feed upon the labor and legitimate industries of the country and in proportion to their increase does labor fade and perish.

us sound money and plenty of it and we will build the court house without bonds. Spmesay there is nothing that improves a county like public improvements; if this be a fact why not turn all over to the commissioners and give the county a big boom. I list my property honestly and have so far succeeded in getting my tax paid, but have frequently been compelled property for less than it cost me to get the money. I don’t believe in bonds, and the time to protest is election day and the place the ballot box. Tax Payer.

ADVANCE IN PRICES.
"l* Wm All on Account of the Tariff." A recent issue of Bradstreet’s contained a table of quotations of prices o* 1M staple articles per quarter for the past live years. Fifty of the 109 articles advanced in price in the second quartei of 1895, and forty-eight advanced in the third quarter, but only twenty-seven of the latter were articles which advanced in the second quarter, making altogether about seventy-one articles o! the 109 that advanced in price.. A care ful review of the table shows that in a majority of cases the advance was arbitrary and made by the trust or combination that controlled prices. Among the articles which made the greatest advances were print cloths, pig iron, steel billets, steel rails, nails, tobacco, copper, lead, tin, leather, hides, boots and shoes. Among the articles that remained stationary or retrograded were w’heat, rye, flour, pork products, sugai molasses, potatoes, etc. The farmer can receive but little consolation from an inspection of these tables. The things he has to buy, as a rule, have advanced in price, while the products of his labor, the things he has to sell, have either remained stationary or retrograded in price. In the meantime railroad earnings and dividends have increased, and the bank clearings show that the banks have been doing a profitable business During this period we have been living under both the McKinley tariff and the thing which even Grover refused to sign, but which fluent democratic statesmen, in voluble language and carefully prepared statistics informed us would cheapen the necessaries of life, while by opening up the markets of the world for the farmer’s products would secure him a better price for what he raised.
And now we are on the eve of a campaign where orators on both sides of this momentous question will pile ar* gument upon argument to show what magnificent things the two systems of tariff have done for us, wholly ignoring the facts above stated, and the fact that the evidence is all against them and their position. But what does that matter so long as glib tongues can talk down the facts in the case? If the people fail to see that they pay more for nails, iron, plows, prints, harness, boots and shoes, and other necessaries, while they receive less for what they raise, they will also fail to see that it is for the salaries the politicians are talking, and for which they are willing to pervert the truth and twist and contort the real’ facts. The American people are a great people. They are sentimental, or nothing. If one happens to stumble onto the truth and proclaim it from the hill tops he is a crank; not simply because he advocates something without a precedent, but because he is not in line with the procession, and not in harmony with the established order of things.
