Call for Township Conventions.

Office of the Republican ) County Central Committee. •> Rensselaer Feb. 1 1888. > In accordance with a resolution adopted by the Jasper County Republican Central Committee, at tlieir meeting of Saturday Jan. 28, 1888, the Republican voters of the townships of Hanging Grove, Gillam, Jordan, Newton, Wheatfield and Milroy townships, in Jasper county, Ind., are hereby authoiized and requested to meet in township mass conventions, at the various voting places of their respective townships, or some other convenient place, on ; SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11,1888 at 2 o’clock p. m., and organize their townships for the campaign ot 1888, by the election ofa town - ship committee, consisting of a chairman and not less than four additional members. The said chairman to be, ex-officio, a member of the County Central Committee. M. F. Chilcote, Chairman. G. E. Marshall Sec’y. Many reckless Democratic papers continue to assert that a tariff of 75 cents a ton is levied upon imported hard coal. The assertion is entirely without truth. There is no tariff, whatever, upon hard coal.

The Indianapolis Sentinel ravfesj and rages over the conviction of the tally sheet forgers in the same "/strain in which it damned the souls of the State Supreme Court judges, last winter. /There is not a paper published in this whole country so utterly foul, degraded and unscrupulous as_is this blackguard state organ of the democray of Indiana. The regular semi-annual an nouncement that DeLasseps’ Pan ama canal scheme has collapsed, is now going the rounds of American and English papers; but the indefatiguable and bull-headed old Frenchman still keeps pegging away in spite of these periodical announcements of failure. It can’t be concealed howover, that the affairs of the scheme are now n a pretty desperate strait. • The trial of Sim Coy, W. F. A. Bernhamer and Stephen Matler, •the tally sheet forgers, before Judge Woods of the U. S. court, at Indianapolis, has resulted in the conviction of the first two and the j acquittal of Matler. The fixing of the penalty is the duty of the judge. It may be fine, imprisonment, or both. The conviction of these scoundrels is a grand victory over corrupt and dishonest methods in politics. - , Our friends would place us under great obligations by reporting to this office matters of news that we have no means df finding out. AVo are especially desirious to learn items pertaining to the country

If you can not conveniently call at the office, drop us a line through the mail. Incase you adopt the latter course, don’t forget to send your name with the commuoicnition. We will not publish the ' name, but must know who the ■ writer is, to be sure that the com- , munication is reliable and written ' in good faith. John E. Sullivan is county clerk lof Marion county. He is the man I who furnished the maggotty butI ter and the diseased hog meat, to . the insane asylum, under contract. He is also under indictment for complicity in the tally sheet forgeries and similar crimes against the right of free suffrage, in Indianapolis. He is a coarse, brutal scoundrel, but a power in democratic politics, in Indiana. This wretch, big, buirly and in the prime of life, made a cowardly and brutal personal assault upon Judge Solomon Claypool, a man of advanced years, last Sunday, because of the part the latter had taken as assistant government counsel, in tlie trial of Sullivan’s partners in crime, Coy and Bernhamer. The Democratic party does not profess, in so many words, to be in favor of absolute free trade. A “tariff for revenue only” is what their platforms usually demand; but at the same time the whole drift and tendency of the organization is that of a free trade party. They denounce protection on principle. “Protection is robbery,” is their most constant declaration. They also claim that protection is inherently wrong because it interferes with what they declare to be every man’s inalienable right to buy what he wishes in the cheapest market he can find, v hether it be in their own country or in a foreign land.

With a party which holds such principles as these: that protection is robbery and that every man has an absolute right to buy in the cheapest market lie can find, without restriction from the government, there is no consistent stop-' Ding place, short of absolute free trade; or, in case the necessities for a revenue can not be fully met by internal taxation, then they can not consistently levy a tariff on importations of any kind without placing a like tax on similar articles of home production. If there is a tariff of ten dollars a ton on imported steel rails, then rails of home manufacture should also be taxed ten dollars a ton. If imported wool pays a tax of five cents a pound" then wool produced at home should pay the same tax. ! Sugar, coal, iron, ululb, clothing, wheat, corn, beef, everything, in fact, upon which a tariff is imposed, should be taxed as much if it is produced at home. To adopt any other plan than this is not only to virtually admit that the protection principle is right, but it is also an interference witfl every man’s alleged inalienable right to buy in the cheapest market he can find And now let us suppose that these democratic views and principles were put into practical effect. Let us suppose that all foreign goods and productions were admitted to our markets ou equal terms with home goods and productions—and bear in mind that this is what the Democrats ought to do if protection is wrong and free trade and tariff for revenue is right. Let us suppose that free trade be adopted, absolute and entire, or if the necessities of the revenue will not permit this, let a very large class of articles be placed on the free list and iipon what- ; ever classes of goods or merchandise a tariff is retained/ let Lome produced articles of the same class pay an internal revenue tax equal to the tariff imposed on the foreign goods. To adopt any other course but this, we repeat, is to adopt the protection principle, (and. protection is “robbery,” say the democrats) and it is also to interfere with the right of every man to buy in the cheapest market he can find, ajCv US buppvbtj. men, Tuai rncSß’ democratic doctrines are put into practical effect, and mention a few

of the most obvious and inavoidable consequences. is not a single person in the country, possessed of clear intelligence and sound judgment, who does .not know that the result of such a course would be the flooding of all the rparkpts of this country, from one end to the other, with all sorts of goods of foreign manufacture, which, being produced by the immeasurably cheaper labor of Europe: could be brought across the water and sold at rates sufficiently under what they could be produced for here, to supplant the domestic articles, to e great extent

I > The first result of these vast importations would be the closing or ciippling of hundreds and thousands of manufacturing establishments in this country and the whole or partial loss of employment of hundreds of thousands of American wage earners. Those who were still lucky enough to obtain employment would soon find their wages reduced, by competing offers if cheaper labor from the unemployed, until wages of all kinds approached the starvation point prevailing in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people who now earn their living as wage workers would resort to farming or gardening for a livelihood. This would greatly increase the supply of, and at the same time, greatly diminish the demand for, the productions of the farmers, and would speedily bring back the “good old Democratic times” when 40 bushels of corn would pay for a pair of cow-hide boots, and the price of a good cow buy 50 pounds of sugar. That fearful bugbear and, in a Democratic point of view, unheard of thing, the accumulating surplus in the treasury, would soon be replaced by a much more democratic annual deficiency; and instead of laying up 50 or 60 millions of specie every year in the treasury we should be compelled to send three oi four times" that amount To

Europe, every year, to settle the inevitable balance against us, resulting from the excess in value of our imports over our exports; and when the gold and silver were all gone, (as they were iu lSoCaud 7) the deficiency would have to be made good by depreciated government bonds, bearing a high rate of interest, while our own people could return, for currency, to the wild-cat money of old democratic free-trade days.

The Central Committee.

The Republican county central committee met last Saturday afterpleted their organization by the elc.-:ioiTof a chairman and secretary. In view of the faithful, impartiid and eminently successful manner in which Capt. Chilcote, as chairman, managed the campaign two years ago, the committee wisely decided to make use of his services in thesame capacity, during the present year. « G. E. Marshall, the former secretary, was also reelected. 1 he committee adopted a resolution authorizing and requesting the Republicans of the townships of Hanging Grove, Gillam, Jordan, Newton, Milroy, 1 - and Wheatfield to meet in mass conventions on Saturday, February 11, to organize for the campaign.

Walker Township Convention

The Republican mass convention of Walker township elected Willard Stockwell as township chairman and member of central committee, Henry Summers, Lincoln Braddock, Fred Hasselbring, Win. Webb 'and Alston Nicoles, additional committeemen,and Win. Hoile, township secretary. Delegate to Logansport, Samuel Nelson. alternate Lars Gulbranson.

Francesville Gets Gas.

I.Friday a good flow of gas was struck in H. E. Bucklen’s well, at the v>ld Blair farm, 2-J mii-»s fmm Iraneeavi!le. While some of the telegraphed accounts of the well are greatly exnggerated. we are safe in saying tiiati t is a good, paying well. W. A.

Deafness Can’t be Cured « by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed conitiou of the mucus lining of theEustachain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed, you have a rumblingsound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness. is the result, and unless the inflaination can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which isnething but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. ’We will give One Hundred Dollars for any-case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh.
