It Costs You Nothing.

It is with pleasure we announce that we have made arrangements with that popular, illustrated magazine, the American Farmer, published at Cleveland, Ohio, and read by farmers in all parts of this country and Canada, by which that excellent publication will be mailed direct, free,ld the address of any of our subscribers who will pay up all arrearages on subscriptions and one year in advance, from date, and to any new subscribers who will pay one year in advance, or to any subscribers in arrears who will pay us hot less, than $3.00 on his back subscription. This is a grand opportunity to obtain a firstclass farm journal free. The American Farmer is a large 10-page illustrated journal, of national circulation, which ranks among the leading agricultural papers. Its highest purpose is the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture through the higher and broader education of men and women engaged in its pursuits. The regular subscription price of the American Farmer is SI.OO per year. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. From any one number, ideas can be obtained that will be worth thrice the subscription price to you or members of your household, yet you get it free. Call and see sample cop}’.

The Indianapolis Sentinel afad its co-worker the Chicago I'ribnnc are trying to make trouble and dissensions in the Republican party by . publishing what purports to be an account of an “Anti-Har-rison” meeting said to have been held in Indianapolis lately. The account as published is no doubt a pure fabrication, throughout. Among other features of the article is a list of some of the Republican papers of the State which are alleged'to be “vouched for as solid for the anti-second term movememt,” which list includes The Rensselaer Republican; an entirely unauthorized act, for the justification of which no ono„ca8 point to a single line in our columqf, nor quote a single spoken word.

Some years ago the then superintendent of the Soldiers’ Oif phaus’ Home, at Kuightstown, this state, committed suicide at Now Orleans. A few weeks ago his. successor in the tame position wisited New Orleans, and he, too, •committed suicide. This occurence might perhaps be explained as simply a remarkeble co-inci-dence, but the more reasonable as well as the more scientific explanation is to be found in the law of suggestion, or association of ideas. It is this tame subtle bi t not til el ess real law of human mentality that causes many deeds of violence and folly in theso days of universal dissemination of “news.” It is not many years since the fin t

case of the rejected lover killng his * inamorata oceured, but what an epidemic of deeds of that character has prevailed since, although hap- i pily it has now largely spent its force. It wjts not many years ago,; either, when such an occurence as ; a man killing his wife or mistress j and then himself, was an almost unheard of thing. ’ For the last ten or a dozen years, however, almost every papeT hascoutained the particulars of such a deed. In the same way through the whole catalogueof crimes of blood. No sooner are the particulars of some terrible deed that is novel in some of its features published over the country, than a succession of similar deeds is almost sure to follow.

The publication of the particulars of crimes, whether through the newspapers or by word of mouth, is one of the great- - est causes of crime; and we believe that the time is not far distant when this fact will lie recognized araiwhem ~snch—reeog.nition will result largely in the suppression of the publication of the details of crimes through the uewspapers, and especially in such aggravated and pernicious forms as in the Police Gazette, and similar publications. The reform must come from the people themselves, however, for ns long as they deni and and purchase that kind of reading, so long will they be furnished with it

Col.lngersol says the new thirdparty movement is “the old greenback party, revamped and halfsoled.” He thinks thatasa party organization it will hardly last till November, 1892. “In fact, he says, ”it has already begun to divide. The farmers in Ohio want a prohibition plank—the farmers of some other State will want women suffrage, or a coustitutiona amendment against cigarettes, and •so the isms will be added, from month to month, until the whole fabric falls in pieces and the farmers will seek reform in one of the great parties.” This will probably be the outcome of the matter. The inherent folly of the movement will prove its death, and most of those who are engaged in it will drift back into the old parties. There will be a noisy few who will continue to pose as reformers and bob up every year or t wo as leaders of a new party movement, but even they will finally wear themselves out. The parties in the future iu this country are the Republican and Democratic patties.

HOW THE TARIFF REDUCED THE PRICE OF BUNTING.

Gen. B. F. Butler, in speech delivered in Boston recently, said: All through the war of the reI hellion no bunting was made in this country. It could not be made: it was not made. "We depended upon Great Britain. There was no Tariff mi bunting exe- pt the very ordinary Tariff of that class of goods, for another purpose, and we were paying from •t? 25 835 for the different grades of bunting; and no soldier or sailor fought in the great war under a yard of American bunting.

Well, at the request of the Secretnry of the Navy I undertook, with some of my young friends up in Lowell, to see if bunting could be made here, We found out how to make it; sent a man over to England to to learn; and we started it with 12 looms, and there was a 40 percent Tariff put on the bunting. What was the effect of that? I would not, if 1 could have had my own way, had more than 10 per cent, put on it Everybody said: ‘Oh, General Butler, put a great deal of Tariff op. the bunting.” I Knew too much for that. What was the effect of that? The Tariff was so high that within 12 years there were 13,000 looms weaving bunting in the United States, and the bunting now has come down so that tiie very best that can be made on earth may be got for 818 a piece instead of 830 and 835.

And so it is with every article. I hear some people say, “Why, the Tariff is always an addition on the prices.” The last I knew about cotton cloth (for I am not a cotton cloth weaver, and somebody will correct, me if am wrong) the Tariff was five cents a yard on calico cottons, print cloths they are called: and I can buy all the print cloths in this country for thiee and-qnart-er cents, as you all know. A voice.—Three cents, three cents, General

The South Not In It.

j Congressman Mills says the third-party movement “will not ; amount to anything in the South.” ' That means that Southern Farm- ! ers’ Alliance men will continue to ; vote the straight Democratic tick- | et. So they will generally in Northern States. The third-party movement, is intended as a decoy for Republicans. JnditmttpoUs Journal.

The Calamity Howlers.

Long ago the Tribune predicted that so soon as the prices of farm products advance, those who wept copious tears over the farmers’ calamities would begin a new series of wailing over the high prices “of the necessaries of life.” Our prediction is true already. They mourned over the low prices of wheat and hung their harps on the willows in sore distress; now they will wail louder than ever over the high prices of flour and com and pork. — New Albany Tribune

The Green Smith Plan.

Frankfort Banner. Reduce the levy for county, township and municipal purposes to the lowest possible point, are the instructions sent out by Democratic politicians. These instructions will be observed even if money has to be borrowed to meet current expenses. These leaders know that somethingmust be done to deceive the people in regard to the effect of the new tax law, or the chances of the Democratic party for future success “will go where the wood-bine twiueth.” They argue that so long as the tax-payer is not required to go down in his pocket for money, it is all right, and that a constantly increasing debt has no terror for him. The average citizen and tax-payer is not a fool, as the Democratic party leaders will yet learn.

Tariff Pictures.

A “high tariff Democrat” sends us word of a firm of large manufacturers of flannels at LaPorte, ind., whose business has been so stimulated by the passage of the McKinley bill that the cost of manufacture has been They, are now able to offer flannels which they sold at GO cents a yards last year, at 47 cents a yard this year.

OBITUARY.

Died. Sunday, May 24, at the residence of her only daughter, Mrs. Alfred Armstrong, at Marl borough, this county, M rs. Jerusha Holt,aged sixtyseven years, ten months and twentytwo days. Mrs. Holt was born July 5, 1*23, in Posey County. Indiana. Her parents moved to New York when she was but two years old, but soon afterreturned to Indiana, residing at Y orktown. She is best known at Delphi where she lived, a greater portion of her life and where she leaves many of her truest and best friends, who follow her in their thoughts to the blessed home beyond the dark river. At an early* ageske united with the Universalists and remained a faithfu and consistent Christian until her death. A terrible sufferer for many months of a terrible malady, she was quietly hopeful through it aIL Ever thoughtful of those around her she never complained. Her one desire for living was that she might aid her grand-children to become useful men and women. That she could accomplish this purpose is abundantly exemplified in the lives of those who had already passed out of her care. Her dear friends have lost a tender and painstaking companion; her relatives, a thoughtful and loving grandmother, our community has been called upon to mourn the departure of a thoughtful Christian soul. Her funeral service was largely attended, after which the body was taken to Delphi for interment

Notice of Meeting of the County Board of Review r Notice is hereby given : —To the tax payers of Jasper County, Indiana that the County Board of Review will meet at the Auditors’ Office in the Court House in Rensselaer Indiana on Monday the Gth day of July, A. D. 1891. For the assessment, review and equalization of taxes for the year 1891 and continue from day to day until they have completed such review. Geo. M. Robinson.^! Auditor, Jasper County Indiana. Can You Alford to do Without It? Editor Republican. —We wish wish to say through your columns, for the benefit of the farmers and our agents, that our Steam Fruit and Vegetable Evaporator is iio humbug. It will do just what we represent it will do. There is a vacant place in every farm that has always been vacant. This is why we say “Ecopomyi? Wealth.” We come to you through our agents to fill the vaoarcy. It is the poor man’s friend; the rich man’B luxury. The question is asked “Is it economy to pay out niue dollars for the machine?” We answer yeß. Because it saves a certain part of our vegetables and fruits that cannot be saved by any other process, that will prepare them for the market and for reliable winter use. By the aid oE this machine

the farmer can have, without money, almost all the luxuries of the land. Can have green peas, string beans, tomatoes, wine plant, and pumpkin pie, not asa rarity but 365 days iu the year. Retaining the same flavor as when plucked from the vine and can sell enough of the above-named vegetables that go to waste, almost every year, in nearly every farmer’s garden, to pay for several machines, to say nothing about fallen apples that rot in our orchards, which can every one of them be prepared to bring the highest market price. Also our small fruits prepared in so short a time will bring the* highest possible market price. Taking the sensible view of the above facts, we ask you the question, “can you afford to do without it?” G. S. GUILb & SON. See the nice hats at Mrs. Leeklider’s Notwithstanding the big advance in coffee you can buy fresh roasted coffee at C. C. Starr’s at the old price. Watches, Clocks and Jewelry, repaired and warranted at Frank B. Meyers’ drug store. Cushwa Bros. Cream at King’s. Some very fine lace curtains at the very lowest prices *at Willey A Son’s.
