The thousand dollars still remain on deposit in Fletcher's Bank, at Indianapolis, subject to the order of any person who will prove that General Harrison ever said that a dollar a day was enough for any workingman. Another thousand dollars has been deposited in the same bank, to be paid to any person who will produce the proof that General Harrison ever said of the railroad strikers, in 1877, that “if he [Harrison] was in i power ho would put men to work at the point of the bayonet, and if |lmt would not do, lie would shoot them down like dogs.”

The Mills bill takes the tariff clear off from salt but does not disturb the 68 per cent, duty on rice. It admits wool free of duty but neglects to lower the tariff on sugar. The reasons for these seeming inconsistences are obvious enough. Rice is a production of South Carolina and sugar of Louisiana, while wool and salt are mainly the products of Republican states. The wfiqje bill is formulated upon the principles indicated in thesa instances. The productions of ’democraticstates and sections are protected, those of Republican states and sections are sacrificed.

State Senator John S. Day, of New Albany, is an active Democratic partisan, but at the same time he has judgment enough to preceive that the Republican position on the tariff is the right and the Democratic position the wrong one. In a late letter to a friend at Crawfordsville, he says: “While I am not a Republican, yet I am an American who believes that we, as Americans, should make and manufacture all our goods that we consume, and that every man so engaged with capital and labor Should be so far protected that he can live as only Americans live. I don’t want to see our labor stand idle,and $560,000,000 vyprtb of iron annually imported here for consumption, or compel our laborers to work for 30 or 40 cents per day in its production. Nor do 1 to see men who have, in good faith, put | up money to develop the country, lose it, for the will or wish of thirteen or fourteen Southern states. None of it for me. I want to see every dollar of labor and every dollar of American money guarded and protected to the fullest. When this is done we will have a prosperous and happy land. Our j milh are all cloned except the cot-j ton mills. We have between two thousand and three thousand idle men here at this time.”
