i A Chicago, gentlemen visiting in Rensselaer, and one who for twenty years or more has been an eminent and trusted democrat, remarked yesterday in tliehearingof several persons that “If the Alliaance had sense enough to hold together until 1892, they can elect a president” adding after a significant pause. “A Democratic presient that is.” And that is only a sample of what all Democrats are thifiking; and also talking when they give their thoughts truthful expression The holding together of the Alliance as a political party until 1892 is the hope of the Democracy. There was never a time since the beginning of the world when farmers and laboring men could get so much of the necessaries and luxuries of life for a given amount of labor than right now. Never a time when it was more “money in a man’s pocket” to be alive thaunow; the croakings of the calamityites to the contrary, not-with-standing. There was a short time during the war, when the circulating medium was greatly depreciated, when previously incurred indebtedness might have more easily paid off than now, but not even then could so good livings be made by labor as at this present time. It is not necessary to go back more than five centuries to find the vast majority of the people in all even of the most civilized nations, worse fed, worse lodged, worse -clothed and worse instructed than are inmates of the poor houses and prisons of this day. From that time to this there has been an uninterrupted improvement in the condition of the masses of the people, but at no time and in no place, lias this improvement been in any degree comparable with what has taken place right her 9 in the United States during the last thirty years, under the enlightened and progressive policy of protection and national developement, instituted and maintained by the Republican party. Senator Peffer in his speech here dwelt with much unction on the good old times of his boyhood, when his father’s bureau drawer was never entirely empty of a few dollars, to be drawn on whenever occasion required it; but if his fathers’ money box was never empty, it was a rare exception in all the older days we have ever had reliable {information of. In fact, all the talk about “the good oldtimep,” is the rankest kind of humbug. The old times were tough oldtimep, to the great mass of the people, and there is not a man of fair and sound judgement, whose memory goes back more than thirty years who does not know that they wereAsk auy of the older men or women of your acqnantance what kind of times fanners and working men had before the year lj&l? Ask how many had carpets on their * ' **"•

floors, organs or pianos or any other fine furniture in their honsesf How many of them kept carnages, buggies, fine harness and extra horses to use them with. Ask how the wives and children of farmers and * laboring men were clothed in those days? How much money they spent on flue raiment, in jewelry, on books, music, or "higher education, or in journeyings about,or in luxuries for the table; and when you have made a full and complete inquiry as to all these particulars, then you will be in a position to rightly compare the present prosperous, and progressive period, with any of the alleged “good old times” Senator Peffer or others of his class tell us about.

THAT BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.

Tiie Fifty-first Congress which the democrats are derisively calling the billion dollar congress, appiop riated $988,410,120 or $l7O 446,269 more than the Fiftieth Congress, the main items of increase being $25,321,907 for a deficiency pension bill left unpaid by the Fiftieth (democratic) Congress. $22667,343 was for post office bill, a large amount of which will be returned to the treasury. $7,307,146 for the purchase of Indian lands that will bring the government three times their cost; $14,042,344 was to meet contracts for naval vessels heretofore contracted for and $62,668,536 to pay pensions of soldiers under the liberal laws enacted by that congress. By a glance at the above items of appropria tions it will be seen that over one half the increase was on account of pensions, which we think is the cause of much of the democratic opposition.

The South Learning a Fact.

“The farmers have found out that the tariff is not the cause of disaster,” says President Polk, of the Southern Alliance. In that he speaks for the farmer of his own seetion, the bulk of Northern farmers having known it these many years. And they are wise enough also to have discovered that the nostrums offered by the Polk school of political doctors will not cure any of the ills of which they complain. In matter-of-fact the farmers of the North are doing some of their own thinking nowadays, and they are just now too busy harvesting their big crops to pay very much attention to the croaking of the calamityites.— Inter Ocean.

Tariff Pictures.

§4The Golden Rod brand of skirting cotton cloth is used for making many workingmen’s shirts. The McKinley bill raised the duty on it from 4 cents a yard to 4J cents. But the price of it, which was 7J cents a yard six months before the new tariff, is now 6^ cents a yard’ Workingman, did that tariff tax you by encouraging the production of that goods at home? New York Press. Did you notice in yesterday’s “Press” a cable dispatch from Berlin saying, on the authority of the “Weiser Zeitung,” that an able bodied weaver m Saxony is unable to earn more than niiHaaaMi a week? Well there are very few weavers in American mills, even boys or girls, who earn less than per week. New York Press. We had a revenue tariff equivalent to 22.4 per cent ad valorem in 1860. In 1887 the duty was 40.9 per cent In the former year machinist’s wages averaged $1.65 a day; in the latter year they averaged a day. It is the old story of low tariff, low wages; high tariff; high wages. Our population in 1890 was . 62,625,250, a nd that of Great Britain and Ire-

land 37,740,283. Yet we had in the census year only * 97,265 panpers, while there were in Great Britain and Ireland 990,155 New York Press.

A Monon Locomotive Explodes.

Hammond Tribune. —At exactly twenty two and one half minutes past eleven this morning as engine No. 91 was standing on the tracks at State Line waiting for orders her boiler exploded with terrific effect. The force of the concussion was so great that fireman Denny Conley, of Lafayette, Ind. —who was the only one on the engine, at the time—was blown a distance of 200 feet cr more over the Nickel Plate right of way into the bushes. Conley landed on his feet all right without any broken bones, but he is terribly’ scalded all along his left side; he walked pirt wav to town, and was.then assisted to the residence of Dr. E, C. Johnson, on Sibley street, who dressed his wounds as best he could. He will be taken to his home (Lafayette) tonight. The engine was lifted off the track like a toy and the grass around for a distance of 100 feet is all blown down. One piece of the engine weighing 406 or SQQ pounds was blown through a coal shed directly opposite the telegraph office. The engineer and telegraph operator together with two or three others were in the telegraph office at the time and were knocked off their feet. Pieces of the engine are scattered for several hundred feet from the scene of the wreck and for three or four hundred feet around about fires have been started from the live coals that were blown from the fire box. The wrecking train was on the scene shortly after the accident happened and sooq had the wreck cleared up. The engine has only been in service about one and one half years, and the engineer says when he left her about a minute before the explosion occured that the guage showed only the usual pressure of steam and he is unable to account for the boiler giving way. =*■ :=S _ = “Tt 7 : • ST-, ' 4 ‘ V

The holding of the Worlds Fair in a city scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable event, but whether it will really benefit this nation as much as the discovery of the Restorative Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful.

IOW A PUZZLE!AS SOLVED. When you want a certain article, you want the best make of that article, don’t you? But how to determine which make is best is what puzzles you, isn’t it? And when the puzzle is solved for you, by authority which cannot be questioned, you are pleased, aren’t you? And you would like to hear of one puzzle that has been solved for the people of the whole world, wouldn’t you? Well, we will tell you about that very puzzle, and its solution. At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris, France, the best sewing machines of the world, including those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechan"H3il experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of all, and awarded that company the highest prize offered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French Government, as a further recognition of superiority, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the comE, with the Cross of the Legion of >r, the most prized honor of France. That is how the nuzzle of the best sewing machine in the world was fully solved by the most competent authority in the world in favor of the No. 9 and No. 12 Wheeler & Wilson machines. The No.®, for family use, and the No. 12, for manufacturing uses, are the best in the world to-day. And now, when you want a sewing machine, if you do not get the best, it will be your own fault. Ask your sewing machine dealer for the No. 9 Wheeler & Wilson machine, and if he does not keep them, write to us for descriptive catalogue, prices and terms.
