Bear These Bates in Mind.

To the Republicans of Indiana: Any voter who moves from one ] County to another, or from one Township to mother, after Sept. 5, or who moves fr< m one precinct to another after October 5 th, will thereby lose his vote. The election will be held Tuesday, Nov-' ember -1 We request the Republicans of Indiana to keep these dates in mind, to see ttrat all any friends who contemplate moving are fully advised before moving, aiid to notify the local committeemen of all changes of re-id.-:..■ which may be made by members of other Parties after either of the dates first mentioned. L. T. Michener, Chairman. F. M. Millikan, Secretary. The Democrats sometimes nominate Union soldiers in cases where they are in a minority and can only hope to elect their men by winning Republican votes —as in Jasper county, for’instance, and the Tenth congressional district. But few indeed are the cases w-here they nominate soldiers, where they have a probable chance of electing their men without Republican help, and still less frequent are such cases where they have sure majorities. The attitudes of the two parties towards the soldiers is well illustrated by their present

state Five of th<i nine Candidates on the Republican ticket served with distinction in the Union army during .the late war. Ont- a single one of the nine Democratic <• nididstes was in that arinx. . f . • J '

Speaking of the fifrt ‘year of President Harrison’slinin’stration, the I2v-nnsville Jownal makes these pu.iineut roniarksj "On the whole it has been a success, yet not wholly so. No mortal man can give satisfaction to everybody. As Lincoln, in his homely way, said: .‘There are ‘more pegs than holes to put them in.’ In other words there are more applicants than there are, offices. In the narqrp of things, somebody must be disappointed. Everybody can not be supplied with public ‘pap.’ Sow -b dy must go hungry. It is the part of good citizenship* to be satisfied with what comes. No good Republican will make a row because he does not get all that he desires. This year, especially, we need unity and harmony. Every Republican worthy the name will strive for these conditions. A w anh and close contest is impending, which will have afar reaching effect on the party, for good dr —,

We doubt if a more conspicuous illustration was ever offered to an admiring community of the ingenioiiri jiarty rascality to defy justice and nullity laws and constitutions than appears at this moment in the relation of the Democratic delegation in Congress to thepopular majority.—lndianapolis News, Dec. 10 1888. This vyas in relation to the last congressional election. The party rascality was, indeed, ingenious and unique which could carry ten out of thirteen congressional districts with a Republican majority of 2,300 in the State. As a result of this ingenious party rascality 263,361 Republicans were able to elect theree Congressmen while 261,013 Democrats were able to elect ten. The practical effect is that it takes 87,787 Republicans votes to secure a Representative in < Jon gress and only 26,101 Democratic votes. That further effect is to make every Democratic vote in the State weigh considerably more than three times as much as ji Republican vote in the election of members of Congress. Practically, therefore, 261,013 Democrats in Indiana can outvote 263, 361 Republicans in this State, and twice as many more in othe States. No wonder an Indiana Democrat feels big when he realizes that his vote for Congressman counts more than those of any three Republicans. It is a wonderfully ingenious piece of" party rascality, and one that every honest man in this Sude ouglrt to assist in smashing into smithereens.

Policy of The Cleveland Administration.

It is well known that the most prominent topics advocated in President Cleveland’s first message to Congress, and in the reports of his Secretary of the Treasury, related to the reduction of duties oil foreign imports, stopping the coinage of silver, and the retiring of legal tender notes. Secretary Manning devoted tiiiee or four columns of his first report to Congress to these questions, and his policy in regard to Taro\ : is outlined in the following state- >). ut from this report: “Put on the free list as many articles as possible. Reduce duties on every dutiable article to the lowest point possible.” That was the policy advocated ■ by President Cleveland and the : members of his cabinet, and it ! was early incorporated into the Morrison Tariff bill, and discussed by Congress during the first years of Cleveland’s administration. But the bill was not passed, because, fortunately for the people, we had a Republican Senate that was in favor of protecting American industries. A similar bill was introduced by Congressman Mills at the second session, and the discussion continued; but that bill also failed in consequence of a Re-

publican Senate. But the agitation of tlie«e measures destroyed confidence and demoralized business in the meantime Etad both Houses of Congress beeii" for “Tariff Reform,” the whole country would have been In bankruptcy long before this time. During the ten years ending with the close of the last Republican administration, the balance between our exports and imports W ; <>vi-r >155,006,000 in favor of this country, and in the last year of that administration, the balance •"104,000,0x0 in our favor. But, during the first year of Cleveland’s administration, the balance went down to about 844.000,000, a fulliug off of 8120,000,000 in one year. During the second year to 823,000,000 and during the third yefif it went down so that the balance was $28,000,000 against this country. But since IJarrison was inaugurated, that balance has now begun to work this way again, and we shall be mistaken if there is not a large amount to our credit found in our next annual report. — American Economist.

Election-Law Instructors.

Officers of the »State Democratic and Republican committees held a’cbnfefence’ last Friday, at Indianapolis, and agreed upon the following joint committee on information concerning the new election law: Democrats, Hon. James McCabe, Judge Niblack and J. P. Dunn; Republicans, Col. J. B. Black, A. C. Harris and R. O. Hawkins. Messrs. McCabe and Black are members, by appointment of the Governor, of the State Board of Election Commissioners. The joint committee held a meeting Wednesday night, to prepare instructions to voters and the various officers provided for by the terms of the new election law. When these instructions are agreed upon, they will be signed by the members of the committee and by the chairmen of the two State committees, and made public to the people of the State.

Protection or Free Trade, Which?

There need be no misunderstanding of the issue between Protectionists and Free Traders, however zealously the latter may seek to confuse voters by diverting their attention to subjects in no wise affected by tariff laws. Protection means that employment shall be given to every man who wants work, and that for such work the compensation shall be sufficient to enable him to live as becomes an American citizen. Free trade means that all work which can be dong cheaper elsewhere than in this country shall be turned over to the nation that succeeds in getting from its people the greatest amount of labor for the smallest amount of money. Protection means to build up in this country all litu s of m anus actures necessary for making our people comfortable and prcsperous in time of -peice, independent and invincible in time of war. Free trade means to keep this country in perpetual dependence upon foreigners for a market for surplus farm products, and that by way of payment we are to accept manufactured products at such prices as the foreign sellers may dictate. Protection means that the existing American standard of life shall be maintained' that the wages of all classes of workers shall remain, as now, higher than the the wages paid to Europeans for similar service. This cannot be done exdept by placing a tariff on foreign products sent here for sale in competition with the products of the farms and factories of this v , \ < . Free trade means that all barriers against the competition of foreign labon and commerce shall be removed, with* the inevitable result that wages throughout the world wilt be equalized, or that the labor on all products that can be transported be turned over to those who will perform it for the least money—whether it be in making the " loom, weaving the cloth, or at the sewing machine by which cloth is transfoi med into garments; whether in mining or smelting the ore or in making machinery by which the products of the farm are transported to market. The issue now before the country is to determine which of these divergent policies shall prevail; whether, following the advice of Jefferson and Clay and Lincoln, we will continue the policy of keeping mills and factories near the farms that feed their opera-

fives, or whether in accordance ' with the teachings of Cobden and i Gladstone and Cleveland, and other advocates of tariff 1 reform, Jwe will consent that our people ' shall confine themselves to agriand turn over to others those privileges and profits found ; only in a diversity of industries.

Senator Wilson on Iowa Farms.

The Senator wants to know why ■ it is that Jowa has 'not got the grent money fortunes that are possessed in New England. Mr. President, I might ask the Senai tor in response why a boy of five I years of age has not the strength and endurance of a man in his ■vigor. But the Senator from Ar- : kansae need not shed tears over ■ the condition of leaps in lowa j even, for I have here an extract from an lowa newspaper, the Delmar JdurnaT, in regard to mortgages in Clinton county, which says: “The abstract, of the mortgages on farms in Clinton, makes ing in which the people of the county may take pardonable pride. Mr.J£. A. Miller, the census abstractor, informs us that ndt more than one-fifth of the farms of the county are mortgaged, and many of them are drawing but 5 to 7 per cent, interest.” Another curious fact you will find in the towns in lowa, and that is you can scarcely go into one of the towns, and especially the county seats and the villages of any considerable size, where you do not find numbers of farmersand farmers’ families who have retired from the farm and are living on the result of their industry. You will find another fact which may seem curious, and that it that in proportion to the number of retired persons living upon their iiicomes the percentage of farmers is greater than that of men from other departments of business. # * * * * * * It was stated that in lowa the farm mortgages amounted to $567000,000. When I saw that I had a profound conviction that it was not true, and I tet about to discover if possible where the inventor of this falsehood obtained his data. Turning to the compendium of the census of 1880 1 found there that the aggregate valuation of farms in lowa in 1880 was $567,000,000. That the people could understand how dreadful their condition was, they took the assessed value of the farms and told the farmers that the mortgages on the farms amounted to that in the State of lowa. Our governor set about a line of investigation to find out how much of a lie this was, and he found that the outside limit of the farm mortgages in lowa would not go beyond $71,000,000. There is a little difference between $567,000,000 and $71,000,000.

That amusing paper, the News, wants to know what measures distinctively Republican have been passed in the House by the aid of Reed’s new rules. It knows of but two such bills. The Journal is too busily engaged to undertake the colossal task of telling the News all it does not know, but the ignorepce in this case is so pitiful that a chapter of enlightenment cannot be refused. Here are some of the measures that are properly classed under the designated head: The customs administrative bill, a much needed measure, now a law, to pass which Speaker Reed was obliged to count a quorum; the McKinley tariff bill, which was passed by virtue of the new rule which gives the majority power to fix a date for taking a vote; the present silver law, which was passed in tjhe House, in the first instance, by assigning a day for taking a vote under the present rules; the socalled original package bill, passed under the operatidn of the same rule; the compound lard bill, the anti-lottery bill, the federal election bill, which the News, borrowing the prattle of the Democratic press, calls the force bill; the eight-hour and the contract labor bills, none of which could havfe been reached under the old rules, for the reason that all measures on the calendar, must be considered in the order they are reported, unless otherwise ordered by a two-thirds vote Furthermore, none of these measures could have been passed if tne Speaker was not authorized tq refuse to put dilatory motions. These are a few of the measures which the Republican rules, enforced by Speaker Reed, have made it possible for the majority in the House to pass. There will be more legislation of the same excellent character to report later, no doubt, and if the. News’s political ignoramus will study the Journal’s columns from day to day with care he will learn many things to that paper’s advantage.— Indianapolis Journal
