WE GET THE CONVENTION

The Republican Congressional Committee for the Tenth District, met at liojganspprl yesterday and fixed the time and place for holding the Congressional nominating convention. The time selected was Thursday, August -Bth and Rensselaer was chosen as tne place for holding it. Much credit for this just recognition of the claims of Jasper County is dun to our comm it teem at?, M. F. Chilcotc > who attended the meeting at Loganspovt and ably advocated the claim 3 of Rensselaer. The official call for the Republican state convention, appears on one of our inside pages. The date is Sept. 10. i Indiana is the only strictly Northern hat_—h as —haT__a series of Democratic Legislatures. It is the only one in which the public debt has been increasing for a similar peroid. The Hale amendment to the McKinley bill embodies the Blaine proposition, and ,if the bill m its present shape be passed, and it probably will, we will have both revision and reciprocity. If it were not for the obstructive tactics of the Democrats the Senate could dispose of all the important bills on ite calendar inside of a week. That is to say, the session is being prolonged and the public business delayed simply to gratify a spirit of partisan spite And obstinacy.

These are several adequate reasons why the country did not adopt ihe reciprocity project proposed toy President Arthur in the last year of his administration. The chief reason is that Democratic party was in power at that time in the popular branch of Congress. This time .however, the conditions * aye more favorable for reciprocity. The Republican party has held A safe and consistent position on the silver question, and can go before the people and defend it without npology. It has redeemed its promise and restored public confidence in the security and stability of the country’s finances. II can go into its next national convention with the full consciousness of having done its duty, and will revive due credit therefore. „

The Democrats tried to carry | the country a few yearn ago on the { cry that there was a fearful and wonderful surplus in the National Treasury—and they miscalculated the amount of superfluous money about $113,000,000 a year. Now they propose to capture the nation on the outcry that the surplus is gone. But they have miscalculated $ L 00,000,000 or so a gain. One of the troubles of the Democrats is there are so many things they do not know. Democratic conventions, taking the wrong cue from the hypocritical attitude of their Representatives in Congress, have, of late, fallen into the habit of declaring in favor of free coinage of silver, j This thing is likely to keep on until the national convention assembles in 1892, and then we shall have the beautiful spectacle of another sudden Democratic flop. »So long as N. York, Connecticut, and Nevrdersey are doubtedstates, and so long as Cleveland and Hill are the only presidential timber in sight, free coinage cannot get into a Democratic national platform.

Reciprocity.

In an interview, Eugene Hale, one of Blaine’s supporters said: It is the duty of the Republican Senate to stick to the tariff bill until it is completed and passed. It will not necessarily be the McKinley bill, but will retain all its features. * * * The proposition Vhich will be debated and passed upon by the Senate will be one to secure a foothold in the and Central America nations, South and to get their markets for our goods. This does not in any way interrupt the working of the protective system, nor is it inconsistent with a protective tariff. Central and South America furnish the products we need. We produce and manufacture things they need, and which they can not produce. Their market is largely with Great Britain and France. Instead of-paying lor their products in money, which goes to Europe, we ought to give in exchange our farm products and manufactured goods. Let their goods come to us and ours go to them. “When we open the ports of the United States to the sugar of South America, Cuba and Porto Rico, the benefits which she will derive from such a policy ought to be paid for by their admitting the> agricultural implements manufact--uvadall over -the-—ecun t ry ,~ ihapetroleum of the Middle States, -breadstuff* of the .West,- thethe lumber from Maine and the manufactures of cottons and wooled and perhaps a few other articles. “The duties laid in Spanish ports upon American flour alone are euormous and the sugar products of these ought to be held where they now are till the enormous duties which they levy on American flour shall be wholly or partially removed.”

Tariff Facts For Farmers.

Just now the farmer is singled out from the great body politic for the especial solicitude of the free-trade attorneys. Ignoring the fact that a policy which makes possible the creation of national wealth from otherwise worthless materials, must inure to the public advantage, even though but a portion of the population may be engaged in the process of transformation, the indefatigable freetrade advocate seeks to have the farmer believe that it is not he but the manufacturer alone who is advantaged by the protection of domestic industries. This is no nearer true than would be the contention that. the summer rain can bring no benefit to the manufacturer or the professional man because they have no growing crops to be invigorated; which is to deny that what brings wealth and benefit to any single class of the community is a public advantage. But as & matter of fact the business of the farmer is by no means so independent of foreign competition as his whilom free-tiade friends would have him believe. American agriculture is quite as much in need of direct protection as the majority of American manufacturing industries; and it is for this reason that the farmers’ interests were kept so constantly in

view in the preparation of both the existing and the proposed tariff leghslatfbli. More than onesixth of the $745,131,652 worth of imports .during the fiscal year 1889 was made up from commodities coming in immediate competition with the products of American farms, viz: Animals and Meat 5,...,........... 14, 010, 498 Cotton 1,104,50 S Dairy l'roducts 1,250,922 Fruits, other than tropical. 8,794,272 Flaxseed 3,831,685 Grains, hay, hops, etc 9,252,912 tAd.vAvphA;.

In fact, under the heading of “commodities which might be jteimqd product&- -of agriculture,” the treasury department has classed over iorty-sevem per cent of all importations of merchandise. And yet in the face of these incontrovertible statistics Cobden Club attorneys have the effrontery to reiterate the fallacy that the farmers’ interest, would be best promoted by free foreign trade.

Farmer Gilman a Useful Legislator.

Fowler Era. ' An article published in The Toiler of July 11th, tend to misrepresent Hon. W. W. Gilman, though not mentioning his name, by asserting that the farmer candidate of Newton county will in no wiserepresent the views of the farmers, unless their party should happen to go that way. Mr. Gilman’s record in the legislature is an open denial of this assertion, as the following brief review will show, and it is but fair that the farmer constituency, or those who are not familiar with his work should be informed, that they may judge for themselves, by the past, whether he will represent their interests in the future or not: Amended the Road superintendeney bill, so that farmers should not be deprived of the right to work out the tax instead of paying money, and voted against the bill as amended, believing such a law w,ould not suit the farmers. The foregoing law repealed the ensuing term. Introduced a resolution that the State compile and publish its own school books, and furnish same to pupils at actual cost —a saving to the people of Indiana, as estimated, over 850,000 a year. The pioneer movement to furnish good books? at reasonable prices in the State. Voted against the alien land ownership bill, believing those who -were bound to protect should be tne owners of the soil, and not proYing.._o£_aAieut._.liaiidbrdism.This law re pealed the very next term. Introduced and advocated a bill making it unlawful for counties and townships to vote aid to railroads, believing it unjust to compel one to help build a property in which he would have no ownership nor rihgt, except such as would belong to all who contributed nothing. Introduced and advocated the passage of a bill to make the collection of attorney fees —as is now the pratice where befault is taken —unlawful; belieing the party who has the fee to pay should in justce have asy so as to the amount. Introduced and advocated a bill concering the construction and operating of railways. Right of v, ay first to be obtained; fences and farm crossing to be built as fast as construction of road bed Railway company to furnish all transportation needed. No discriminating between persons or places while acting as public carriers. Rebates allowed to one, must be allowed to all. On failure of Railway company to obey the law, States Attorney to bring suit in the name of the State, on behalf of the relator, thereby putting the weakest or poorest citizen on an equal its before the law with the strongest corporation.

The L., N. A. & C. R. R. and Its Sew Management. Last Saturday’s Chicago Times contained a lengthy • review of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad and-its reorganization, from whicli we make the following extract: One of the most important .of our southern connections is the Louisville, New. Albany & Chicago railroad, now more popularly known as the Monon Route. As originally projected the road made its northern terminus at Michigan City, and its Chicago business was done over the Michigan Central tracks, or by other connections via Lafayette. In 1881 direct connections was made with Chicago from Monon, Ind„ a small station on the main line some thirty miles north of Lafayette. The road is now accommodated for its passenger traffic in the. Dearborn station at Polk street, and has excellent facilities for handling its freight—-busi-ness here. It would have been wise and profitable if a direct Chicago connection had been a part of the original plan, but the wisdom of the fathers was unfortunately clouded with jealousies. State pride dictated that Michigan City should be the northern terminal in Indiana,| just as state pride in Michigan designed a great furture for New Buffalo, and the state pride in Illinois would concede nothing to St. Louis, but preferred Alton instead. However, all that is now past, although it was more or less a costly mistake in every instance. * * * The new board elected Dr. Breyfogle president. Mi,' Postlewaite first vice president and H. W. Hunt second vice-president. William F. Black was at once called to the post of general manager. Mi. Black was superintendent of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis railroad, and was selected by reason of his peculiar fitness for the position. The new board at once sought for and effected a release of the company’s -ibilities on roads south of tne Ohio river. It refuned its 6 per cent, debt at 5 per cent., and was thereby put in possession of immediate resources for the improvement of the old road-bed and rolling stock. Its made a thorough revision of the working force and the salary list, retaining some of the most efficient of the old officers and employes, and introducing a new system ot division super intendencies. In these four months of the new management under Dr. Breyfogle 500 Dew freight cars, each of 60,000 pounds capacity, furniture cars, and six ten-wheel locomotives have been added to the rolling stock, with additions also to the passenger equipment. The vestibule trains which are now run by this road to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Louisville, are of Pullman’s best con"parior cars, dining, smoking cars, giving all the comforts of a palace on wheels. The heavy steel frames which are fixtures of the Monen coaches insure perfect safety to the consolidated train. Three hundred thousand new been purchased and more than 60,000 have been put in the track. A large amount of steel rails have been contracted for, to be put down on heavy grades. New bridges have been supplied and all the culverts from Chicago to Monon have been renewed. The road between Chicaga and Indianapolis has received the most attention and is now in fine shape. Friendly relations having been restored with the southern trunklines and the result has been an enormous increase of traffic, taxing the freight department to its utmost As against a loss of $40,000 in the operating expences of the first three monthe of the year under the old management the receipts of the first three months of the new management show a net gain of $60,000, the month of Jane alone showing an increase of $24,640. The new management having cut every cord that in any way tied to the old moorings, the improved condition of things has been phenomenal. An old and prominent railroad man familiar with the matter says: “As president of the road Dr. Breyfogle occupies the position of business manager, assisted by Major Black as general manager, W. H. McDoel as traffic manager, James Barker aa general passenger agent and W. H. Lewis as secretary and treasurer. The heads of departments and the board of directors are all young men in the prime and vigor of life. The employes aie, therefore, naturally enthusiastic over the new management and manifest it in a thousand ways.”
