The Indianapolis Sentinel says the conviction of the Chicago Anarchists was ‘‘the most flagrant judicial outrage in the annals of this republic.” We wonder if -the Sen* tinel represents the prevailing sentiment of the Democratic party in this open sympathy with lawlessness and wholesale murder? There is no place on earth, or anywhereelse, so far as reliable information is obtainable, where a good canning establishment and pickle factory ought tod do more gooo for itself, and for the people of the vi--■cinity, in both town and country, than right heie in Rensselaer. "Why cant we “get a move on us,” aud organize a joint stock company and start one?

The infamous Indianapolis Sen - Uriel, the recognized state organ of the Democratic party, which “damned the cowardly souls” of the Judges of the State Supreme CouxW » mv denouncing. , with equal bitterness the jury which

| condemned the wholesale murderers of the Chicago Hayinarket. Great, indeed, is Democracy when the Indianapolis Sentinel is its prophet. Why do so many otherwise reputable and honorable papers contmue to violate th e Jaws of. the state and the plain principles of right, by advertising that conscienceless and monumental fraud, the Louisiana Lottery? Brethren of the press, you know full well that this lottery is inveigling tens of thousands of hard earned dollars from the pockets of laboring men, every month in theyear, that ought to be devoted to supplying the necessities of their families, and the publisher who permits the advertising space in his paper to be used in the interest of this colossal robbery can not escape his share of moral responsibility for the evil that.issues from it.

Under the rules and practico of the last congress, a- democratic body, not over five per cent of the business introduced in the House* was ever considered at all, while as much, or nearly as much time .was wasted by filibustering and dilatory tactics generally, as was spent in dispatching the public business. On one occasion the House was held in a deadlock for two weeks, because a small band of conspirators were opposed to the passage of a bill which nine tenths of the members desired to to pass; and the filibusteres had

their way iii the end. In the present Congress this unconstitutional practice of filibustering promised to defeat all legislation, and all business of every kind except such as the democratic minority chose to permit. Previous to the meeting of Congress such recognized Democratic leaders as Springer and Mills openly boastpd that the Democrats would control the House, by virtue of the power of filibustering. But, to what should be the great satisfaction of every believer in government by majorites, and of every opponent of the rule or ruin method, the Republican majority in the House, under the magnificent leadership of Speaker Reed, has overthrown the plans of the filibuster conspirators, and hereafter, during the presenVCongress at least, and we .believe for all time, the constitutional majority will rule. Filibustering is dead and Speaker Reed is its executioner. All honor to Speaker Reed.

AMERICAN OR BRITISH TARIFF—WHICH.

As so mncliol. inspiration andmaterial aid in behatt~of -a t!tmiigH in our taiiff policy come from Great Britain, a comparison of what we now have with what are offered in its stead is likely to prove interesting. For it must be remembered that the theoretical free trader’s dream of untrammeled commerce is a long way from realization, even in England. The cold fact that money is required for running a government, aud that commerce may very properly be called on to contribute its quota, has rendered it necessary to keep on the British tariff schedule a list of articles from which revenue is derived amounting to SIOO- - annually. Great Britain collects by tariff about the same amount of money per head of population that the United States does. Biit with this the parallel ceases, for the first British tariff enumerates only some twenty articles, while ours names about three hundred. The British tariff is “for revenue only,” and is laid indiscriminately against articles of necessity aud luxury, while the tariff of this country seeks revenue and

protection to domestic industries at the same time. There a round duty is place on tea and coffee, while here both are admitted free. In some years the British revenue from imports of tea, coffee, fruits aud other table necessaries has equaled eighty per cent of the amount collected from imported liquofs of all kinds. If the British duty of 12 cents per pound on tea, and 3| cents per pound on coffee had been levied

by the United States on the quantity imported in 1889, the aggregate would have been over $26,000000. This is more than was collected in 1888 from all imports of iron and steel, including tin plates, and, only twenty pet cent-

short of the amount collected from all kinds of woolen goods, caroets iudnded, for the year. Here we get a glimpse at practical results under a “revenue only” tariff as wrought out by the nation that now occupies the unique relation of sponsor and beneficiary of tariff reform in the United States. And the question is; what do voters think of a reform that proposes to transfer iron and steel to the free list and put a heavy tariff on tea and coffee by way of offset?

THOSE “GOOD OLD TIMES.”

Delphi Journal. To the Old Man on the Corner: My dear old friend: I have no doubt but that you would like to have a few lines from an ‘old timer,’ one of the boys that was with you in the palmy days of Democracy, in the years of 1836 to ’4U, when we had plenty of corn at from eight to ten CBnts per busbel, and wheat twenty-five to thirty cents; pork at $1.25 per hundred net, and salt, without a tariff on it, at six dollars per barrel: eggs three cents per dozen, butter four cents per pound. Oh, how nice we could live then with our buckwheat cakes and maple molasses. Oh my, how we did smack our lips, over the good things we had to eat.

Everything was free, even whis- j key was only twelve and a half ; cents per gallon, but there was not j many of us boys who drank it. England and other foreign countries sent us our calicoes, ginghams, muslins, ere. They were free also, but we had to pay for : them - thirty-seven and a half r cents a yard for calico, thirty-one »<nd one-fourth cents for muslins unbleached, and thirty-seven to fifty cents for bleached muslins. I W e had free coffee at thirty-seven and one half cents per pound. We only used it on Sunday mornings and then it was mixed with parched rye. When we received a letter, if it was from Pennsylvania,j it was twenty-five cents postage at the office where it was received.; That was nothing, however, for we ; could get the twenty-five cents for a day’s work, or for cutting and ; splitting a hundred rails. it took a day’s work to buy a yard of calico or a pound of coffee, j By the month, we could get eight dollars for work. We did not wear m«Dy fine clothes then. Broad Cloths were out of the question. , Nearly -all the woolen goods were manufactured by our wives and daughters at home on the spinning wheel and hand loom. These were the good old Democratic times of free trade that we hear so much about. At the conclusion of this letter you will naturally inquire, “Who are you, and what is your name?” You will certainly recollect me as one of the stalwart young men who hurrahed for “Tippecanoe and j Tvler too” in 1840.

ABOUT GRAVEL ROADS.

Editor Republican: In regard of our highways I feel tp drop a few suggestions to our energetic farmers as well as the citizen of our county beat. There is no need of portraying the condition of our road-beds, as the study with me has been to avoid them, and to get to town by some other track; but finding both impractible, 1 would j suggest to make one good gravel road, and then decide which is j beet. And if the gravel road is a j failure, Jet us continue on in the j mud-holes, as is now. There is ten- 1 sou in it. (Jar soil or any j clay soil is not fit for as much j heavy hauling as now done, and | this difficulty will continue on the increase as the country improves, ’as well as the city of Rensselaer. So let us go to work and build a good road, a grade 2 ft. high above the water level, 16 ft. on surface wide, 10 or 12 inches higher in the centre, with a gradual slope both ways. Do this in the forepart of the season; and when packed, give I a coat of clean gravel (free of soil) j 15 inches deep°in centre, 9or 10 j inches at the edge. This will be a ; good foundation for a permanent i road. Its no use of hauling dirt

from one point to the other on a road, as can plainly be seen when wet wefclieT comes. Its mud. The only difference is you have a mudhole of different soil, perhaps more tough and worse to get through, than the original. We have good gravel 4 miles north of town, a coat of which (as stated ) will hold up; but the soil must first be taken oft If the soil is left with the gravel, we have just that much mud, and it will spoil the whole work. There is also a proper way of working a gravel pit, which should be carefully attended to to get full depth of the vein and then dump the surface or soil below: this gravel refered to is of superior quality for roads: but first strip off the soil. -‘T’-'* T*!*-' 1 "' Sours Truly, -- ■ A Faumeb.

Tours,

Rich and Poor, Prince and Peasant, the Millionaire and Day Laborer, by their common nse of this remedy, attest the vywld-wide reputation of Ayer’s Pills. Leading physicians recommend these pills for Stomach and Liver Troubles, Costiveness, Biliousness, and Sick Headache; also, lor Rheumatism, Jaundice, and Neuralgia. They are sugarcoated; contain no calomel; are prompt, but mild, in operation; and, therefore, the very best medicine for Family Use, as well as for Travelers and Tourists. “I have derived great relief from Ayer’s Pills. Five years ago I was taken'so ill witli Rheumatism that I was unable to do any work. I took three boxes of Ayer’s Pills and was entirely cured. Since that time lam never without a box of these pills.” —> Peter Christensen, Sherwood, Wis. “Ayer’s Pills have been in use-in my family upwards of twenty years and have Completely verified all that is "claimed for them.
