To Indiana Republicans.

Indianapolis, Inti-, July 25, 1890. j Section 13 of the new election j law provides that certain classes I of persons wishing to vote at tjie next election must register at least ! three months before election, by i appearing in person at the office ! of-the County Clerk and signing ! and filing notices of intention to became qualified electors. The persons who are required by that i section to register are those who, having been residents of Indiana, shall have absented themselves from the state for a period of six months or more, or who shall have gone into any other State or Sovereignty with the intention to vote therein, or during any absence in another State or Sovereignty shall have voted therein, or who shall not have been a bona fide resident i of this State and of the county in ; which he resides, at least six months before the election. The election will be held Tuesday, November 4th, 1890. ©nly those can vote at that election who had a legal residence in this State on May 31, 1890. There is no charge to the voters for making this registeration. All committeemen, and Republicans generally, are urgently requested to see that all who are required to register before voting shall be registered in the Clerk’s office of the county of their residence on or before" August 4, 1890. There should be a careful canvass of the several voting precincts by committeemen and others, to the end that there shall be a complete register of all those voters who are included in the above clauses. We trust tli/it this matter will be looked after promptly and efficiently. Yours Truly, L. T. Michenek, Chm’n. F. M. Millikan, Sec’y.

American Machinery In Europe. It is an oft repeated though . uiauy timßS-i'LVutedr Oha-rge Free Trade enemies of American industries, that machines made in America, and agricultural machines, are exported to foreign countries and there sold for less prices than the same machines are sold for here. This matter is well shown up in a letter from Id. J. Dunlap, of Illinois, now United Btates Consul, at Breslau, Germany, to the Champaign, Illinois Gazette, in the course of which-occurs the foliow- , IBgi . _-

It lifts been a favorite statement of the Democratic political orator, and many farmers have mada.it in my hearing, that “American manufacturers shipped their machines to Europe and then sold them for a less price that the American farmer paid.” I have no doubt til;it the men 'who made f.linse statements did so with honest ininleutions, but the facts are against them. Below I give the prices at which the American made machines are sold here, premising that all those named were on exhibition: McCormicks’ binder, complete $228.00 McCormicks’ selk raker, c0mp1ete,..........,..... 144.00 McCormicks’ mower, S - foot cut, 115.00 Woods’ binder, complete 276.00 Woods’ self raker, complete, 144.00 Woods’ self raker, com- - plete, light, 132.00 Woods’ mower, 96.00 D. M. Osborne & Co., self raker, 144.00 Moline Flying Dutchman riding plow, 62.50 Moline 12-inch plow, with rolling cutter 16.08 Acme harrow, 4Q,08 Philadelphia lawn mower, 14 inches 16.00 Philadelphia lawn mower 16 inche5,............. 19.00 Philadelphia lawn mower, 16 iuches, for short Let any one who desires to contrast prices call on any of the agents who sell the above and get their prices. The prices for German made machinery was no lower, while the workmanship was in every way inferior. We have taken a little trouble to find out exactly how American prices for these same machines compare with the prices in Germany, as given by Mr. Dan lap, and find that the McCormick complete binders can be bought

. . .-I q ' « ■ right here, in .Jasper county for less than half the price in Ger-. many, and all the other machines named, in the same proportion. The price of the binders here, in, to' be exact, $140; the self-rake reaper, S7O; the 5 foot mower, SSO, and so on clear through the list. The name of Judge John H. Gould, of Delphi, has been mentioned by several papers in Northern Indiana in connection with the Republican nomination for judge of the' supreme court. A successor to Judge Mitchell will be elected next fall and should the selection fall on Judge Gould the people of Indiana would have reason to congratulate themselves. By a service of twelve years upon the bench in the . judicial bench district comprising White and Carroll counties, J udge Gould has given evidence of high judicial ability. He is clear headed and fearless and as a jurist easily stands in the front rank in Northern Indiana. Judge Gould has a wide acquaintance and his nomination would greatly strengthen the State Ticket. Hejhas a splendid soldier record and to all his other qualifications adds those of the polished gentleman. The Republicans would do well to canvass the ayailibility of Judge Gould.—Marion Daily Chronicle.
