The Vincennes and state conventions being in the hands of the “reorganizers” ignored Bryan and the Kansas City platform; the Greene county convention with wild shouts proclaimed Bryan as “the greatest living Democrat,” while the official state organ— The Sentinel —is openly and so bitterly opposed to him as to indicate that it is ashamed of having supported him two years ago.—Bloomfield News.

A SOURCE OF DANGER. Just two months remain until the state election. The outlook for the Republican party was never brighter tnan at this time, but we must not forget that that very thing may prove a danger to the success of our ticket Too much confidence Is always an element of danger. People get the idea In their heads that It’s all right anyway and the organization is neglected. Then the voters get busy and fail to go to the polls and vote. Next morning they wake up and find that overconfidence has resulted in a victory for the other side, together with all the dire results that such a victory Implies. They forget that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; that it takes organization and votes to win. If we want success in the coming fight every Republican must do his full duty.— Connersville Times.

LABOR INSURANCE

Senator Charles W. Fairbanks was permanent chairman of the committee on resolutions of the last Republican national convention at Philadelphia June 19-21, 1900, which reported the following plank in the national platform: “In the further Interest of American workmen we favor a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lands, the extension of opportunities of education for working children, the raising of the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as against contract convict labor, and an effective system of labor insurance.” There is a growing sentiment not only among workingmen, but among the true friends of labor in other walks of life, that some system of labor insurance should be devised for the protection of employes who have passed the age where they can be useful, and who deserve some protection against poverty in their old age. Commenting upon the outlook for labor insurance, Gunton’s Magazine for April, 1902, says: “It should not be left to the philan> thropic impulses of individual employers or corporations, but should be made a part of the national policy. It is encouraging to note that some progress has already been made in this direction. In 1900 the national plab form of the Republican party favored definitely labor insurance.” The editor of Gunton’s then quotes from the plank of the national platform, which was reported by Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, as chairman of the committee on resolutions in favor of “An effective system of labor Insurance.” “This declaration,” says Gunton’s, “committed the Republican party to the principle of labor insurance.” It is a source of pride to the friends of labor in Indiana that the senior senator from this state should have been officially identified with the first declaration in any political platform in favor of labor insurance. Senator Fairbanks is much interested in this matter, and has given considerable study to the subject.

INDIANA PROSPERITY

Louis Ludlow, the traveling political correspondent of the State Democratic organ, writes from Muncie under data of Sept. 11: “At the moment when gas is almost a thing of the past, Muncie is enjoying the most prosperous era of its history. New buildings are going up all over the city. There Is such a demand for flats that every’ apartment in one of the new flat fundings was rented before the -foundation was laid.” Was it so under the only Democratic administration this generation has experienced.?

MORE ARTFUL DODGING ON THE STATE DEBT QUESTION.

The Rushville Republican calls attention to the fact that the $720,000 received by the state government in 1891 as a refund of the direct tax by the general government, did not go to make up a million dollar payment on the state debt, but was swallowed up In the vortex of Democratic debt The Indianapolis Sentinel answers this by saying that this money was returned to the state treasury during the administration of Governor Hovey, and that It was used to pay current expenses, because the Republican tax law of 1881 In ten years “resulted In the state’s running behind about half a million dollars a year in its current expenses.” What are the facts’ The Republican legislature of 1881 did pass a tax law, and that was the last legislature controlled by the Republicans until 1895. In 1880 the ordinary annual expenses of state on which this tax law of 1881 was based, were $844,000. By 1889 they had increased to $1,320,502. It does not take a great mathematician to tell where the half million dollar deficit comes In. And despite this vast Increase in expenditures, Democratic leadership refused to provide for the deficit by an increased levy or an increased appraisement. The result of this was not only the addition of nearly half a million dollars annually to the state debt by reason of a deficiency in revenue, but the piling up of interest and interest on interest until, in 1890, interest alone was costing the state of Indiana $740 a day. How hold Governor Hovey responsible for the refusal of successive Democratic legislatures, despite the recommendations of successive governors, to make provision for the ordinary expenses of government, preferring to avoid responsibility for securing sufficient revenue, even at the expense of a four million dollar addition to the state debt? There is no use trying to shift that responsibility. It rests where it belongs—on the shoulders of Democratic leadership. The Sentinel also insists that Republican fiscal officers have nearly five million dollars on the state debt since January Ist, 1895, solely with three and a quarter millions of revenue derived from the sinking fund provided for by the law of 1893, and the $600,000 derived from the refund of interest on war bonds paid by the general government, a total of less than four million dollars. This is better financiering than Republicans, even, would claim, especially in view of the fact that along with this vast debt reduction has come a reduction in general taxation, by a decrease of the levy in 1895, almost equal to the amount of the payment on the state debt. And the amount of this tax reduction has not been tacked on to the state debt, but saved by honest and economical methods In legislation and administration. A vote for Republican state and legislative nominees is a vote against the state debt. •

Mayor H. C. Berghoff of Ft. Wayne, at a meeting of the city council held on Sept. 9th, recommending certain expenditures for public improvements, justified them by saying: “THE TIMES ARE GOOD. NEARLY EVERYBODY HAS WORK AT FAIR WAGES, AND ‘ THINK NOW 1?

REAL PROSPERITY

Indiana Farmers Are Mow Enjoying It SOME STATISTICS ON PRICES Show That the Purchasing Power of an Average Crop Is Far Greater To-* day Than It Has Ever Been Before. Indiana Democratic newspapers are engaged in trying to make the Indiana farmer believe that while he may be enjoying some "fictitious prosperity" in the selling price of his products, he is paying for it in increased prices for the articles he consumes. It is alleged that agricultural implements are being sold at a greater price abroad than at home. • That argument was industriously used from 1888 to 1892, and then came an administration Democratic in every branch, with a Democratic tariff law. While the farmer failed to secure agricultural implements at the “export price” so industriously exploited in Democratic campaign documents of the early '9o’s, he did get a taste of tariff reform prices when he came to sell the products of his farm.

Inquiry of one of the leading hardware merchants of Indianapolis revealg facts which form the basis for the following table of comparative prices on standard agricultural implements: . , l->Od. 1902. Buckeye Reaper SIOO to *l*6. SIOO to 125, Buckeye Mower . 40 40 Moline Farm Wagon ... 56 02 Oliver Chilled Plow ... 12 13 Corn Cultivator 25 2s Hooker Wheat Dri11.... 45 to io 50 to 55. In other words, this total bill of implements would have cost an Indiana farmer in 1896, $277; in 1902, $290. In 1896 it would have cost him 500 bushels of wheat, in 1902, with more wheat to pay with, he can buy the lot for 382 bushels; in 1890 it would have taken 1,385 bushels of corn in an even trade for the outfit, in 1902, 518 bushels buy it, and the farmers of Indiana have the corn. In 1896 the purchase price, expressed in oats, was 2,308 bushels, in 1902 it is 764 bushels. In 1896 it would have taken four horses and $37 besides to buy the lot, in 1902 three horses of equal quality would buy the implements and the farmer would have $lO coming to him. In 1896 the Indiana farmer would have had to sell eleven steers of average weight, and borrow two dollars, in order to secure the implements; in 1902 the farmer would have to dispose of only eight steers of equal weight and quality, and then would get S3O “to boot” In 1896 the farmer who wanted the outfit would have had to drive forty-six hogs of average weight to the scales, and then would have owed one dollar; now twenty-three hogs of the same weight and quality would not only represent the value of the outfit, but the farmer would have $9 coming to him. One of the leading clothing merchants of Indianapolis says: “You may safely make the statement that clothing today is cheaper, quality considered, than it has ever been.” A leading shoe merchant says: “If anything, shoes are a shade lower in price than they were in 1896.” Dry goods are a shade higher, the average increase in price being, however, less than 10 per cent. « General hardware is no higher than In 1896; nails and wire are about the same; stovee have increased about 10 per cent in price. When it is remembered that where prices have been Increased they represent, in very few cases, more than the increase in wages paid to operatives, neither the operatives or the farmers whose products they buy are likely ti find in this cause of complaint.

An Independent Paper’s Tribute to State Institutional Management.

In view of the platform declaration of the Indiana reorganized Democracy that the state’s penal and benevolent institutions have been “prostituted to partisan ends” by the present state administration, the following paragraph from the independent Indianapolis News of Sept. 10th is of interest: “The opening of the new hospital for the sick insane at the Central Hospital for the Insane last night is an event. It justifies the appropriation by the legislature that made it possible, and it is another illustration of the breadth and efficiency of Dr. Edenharter’s management. Some time ago this able superintendent established a pathological laboratory that put this institution in the front rank of similar institutions. With the opening of the hospital to which the sick can be removed from the regular wards, another important step forward is taken. We have made great progress in our state in the care of our public institutions. We have abandoned forever, we believe, the idea of making political spoils of these institutions, and are beginning to awaken to the need of making them models of their kind.”
