I The natioual committee has selected Minneapolis as the place for the next Republican National Convention, and June 7th as the time. The eud of the Nineteenth century is not showing up very magnificently in the matter of polite literature, at least Not a single really great novel writer, in the English language, is now living, on either sfde of the ocean, and all the great poets are dead or very 'old. When such a tiresome writer as W. D. Howells commands the largest prices for his works of any novelist, it is evident that the world is in a bad way for a fresh crop of great authors.

Ira J. Chase, of Danville, Hendricks county, as Lieutenant — Governor, has now succeeded to the office of Governor. Mr. Chase was elected in 1888 as a Republican over Wm. R. Myers, Democrat, by a plurality of 2,155. Mr. Chase is a minister of the Christian church, Rn ex-Union soldier ,of distinction, aud a gentleman of rare accomplishments, and there is no doubt that he will prove a model officer in the exalted position he is thus suddenly called upon to occupy. 7 The people of Jasper county know that there is work here for all that want it, at good wages; they also know that the same condition prevails throughout the en- - I tiro- country, <mdr-i» a degree scarcely ever equalled, except in time of war. They also know that never before in the history of the world could so much of the necessaries and commonest luxuries of life be purchased with a day’s wages, or with the products of the farmers’ fields, as now. These indisputable facts ‘‘knock silly” all the sophistical theories of the free traders, and all the demo»ogical rant of the calamityites.

W. D. Bynum, the ‘‘grass burning” statesman and pernicious wind bag, now in congress from the Indianapolis district, imagines himself to be a candidate for the speakership of the House. His aspirarationsin that respect are about on a par with those of Tom Wood, of this district, when he wanted the Democratic nomination for vice-president. In fact Bynum, * with his boundless over-plus of conceit and very conspicuous lack of sound sense and ability, is very much of a Tom Wood sort of a man, only a good deal more so. In fact it is decidedly slanderous of Tom Wood to rank him with the grass burner.

The official count in Ohio will show McKinley’s majority to be about 22,000. This is 2,000 greater than President Harrison’s majority and indicates the reaction which was bound to follow Democratic misrepresentation of the tariff bill. It offers an opportunity also sores ery citizen to discover

that the Republican party is not legislating for any class but for the beet interests of the people of the United States. The story of the McKinley bill should be remembered and when any Democratic paper makes an unreasonable about any act of Republican legislation, think of the McKinley bill and how the public was misled about it in the campaign of 1890. There is but one reform party, but one party devoted to the best interests of the country and that is the Republican party. All others are mere clay-trap vote catchers after the s poils of office or seeking to promote injurious policies.

The New York iSwn continues to shine in a way its tariff reform readers despise. It gives its party the truth in wholesome though homely chunks, and the way it 1 ifts the cuticle of Mr. Cleveland W horn it refers to alternately as the “Stuffed Prophet” and “the Claimant” is almost cruel to behold. One of the most clear-cut arraignments of the tariff reform nonsense that has ever appeared anywhere is the following f rom a recent issue of that democratic paper, referring to Cleveland aud Mills:

This well-satisfied and thriving country the Corsicana Cobdenand the Claimant have undertaKen to persuade that it has been ruined aud still is being ruined by the protective tariff. These two singular compounds of mountebank and -crank want the democratic party to §hut its eyes, stand on its head, and say to the farmers, whose barns are bulging with grain, “your granaries are empty on account of the tariff;” to the jobbers and the country storekeepers, whose stocks are being sold as fast as they are ordered, “you are prevented from doing business by the tariff;” to the laborers, whose services are in greater demand than ever, “yon can find no work, on account of the tariff;” to the welldressed, “you are naked on account of the tariff;” to the well-so-do, “you are paupers on account-of the tariff;” to a nation digesting its dinner with enjoyment and peace of mind, “you are starving on account of the tariff.” If the democratic party were sufficiently far gone with paresis to be scared by the croaking of these ridiculous crows, it would be laughed out of sight in 1892. Hired weepers are not in demand at a wedding feast, and crows are hunted with shot-guns. .......

Lincoln Never Said It

The calmity howlers of the land, who would kick if every cornstalk grew a bushel of corn worth one dollar a bushel and every stalk of wheat grew a bushel of golden graiu worth two dollars a bushel, take great pride in attributing to Lincoln the following words; “As a result of the CORPORATION S have been enthroned, an era of corruption in HIGH PLACES WILL FOLLOW and the MONEY POWER of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until ALL WEALTH is aggregated in a FE W hands and the republic is destroyed.’’ Now the plain truth of the matter is, Abraham Lincoln never used any such language, and the Journal defies any dyspeptic shrieker of distress to show that he did. Lincoln neither had the time to think about any such stuff. He put in his entire time fighting the confederacy. . He had -has hands full bearing the ills be had rather than “flying to others that he knew not of.” Lincoln was not a pessimist. Had he been, he would never have steered the Union safely through the teacherous channel she navigated from ’6O t<3 ’65. Had he been a monopoly cryer and a corporation whooper he would never his face to the front during the, trying ordeal of our great ‘civil war. He would have whined about “expenses” and “loss of life” and other things, and trembled with fright while Jeff Davis and his co-conspirators were riddling the flag on Fort Sumpter with their cannon and ravishing the United States navy. > It a slander on the fair fame of the sainted Lincoln to attribute to him these words, which Nieolay, his private secretary, who is

Governor M’Kinley and Protection.

In the entire series of recent state campaigns that of Ohio was the only one in which was prominently brought to the front the issue between Protection and selfstyled “reform.” In other /states the success or defeat of candidates can be traced to local considerations, which failed to align either of the great political parties on a distinct national issue, or to call from either its fullest possible vote.

Not so in Ohio. There the issue was boldly made by putting to the front the author of the avowedly protective law now in force, indorsing the spirit of that measure in the convention platform, and extolling its results by speeches in every neighborhood of the state. Opposed to Major McKinley was a prominent statesman who had avowedly severed former party affiliations by reason of his preference for the non-protective policy of Cobden, Cleveland & Co., and who proclaimed the virtues of his recently acquired faith with the proverbial earnestness of the new convert. . < ■.

And the result was the same that has invariably characterized the decision of American voters when ever the question of Protection for domestic industries or the free use of our markets for foreign competitors has been passed upon. A vast majority of American voters believe in Protection, and can be relied on to so vote when led to believe that the protective features of our tariff laws are in danger of repeal or such modification as will rob them of their recognized efficacy. The overwhelming majority for McKinley in Ohio is but additional evidence of a fact that finds emphasis in every page of political history whereon is recorded the untrammeled expression of American voters.

It would be impossible to secure for the tariff question more prominence in a political campaign than it was given by the platform aud canvas of McKinley in Ohio, and it seems equally impossible to ig_ nore the significance of the major, ity by which the policy of Protection to home industries was there indorsed.

WHY I AM A PROTECTIONIST.

By Hon* Henry M. Hoyt, Ex-Gov-ernor of Pennsylvania. I am a ‘'Protectionist’, because tbe welfare and happiness of the people in America depend on their ability to enjoy the necessaries, conveniences and comforts which our manufacturers supply. There is no other source of adequate supply for many such commodities except American Manufacturers, so that the American manufacturer is more indispensable to the American people than tbe American people is to the manufacturer. While American labor is more efficient and more productive than labor elsewhere, it yet remains ineontestibly true that there are thousands of commodities which cannot be made by our artisans in competition with low priced labor elswhere. If the laborers here are to consume this class of manufactured goods, the industries which produce them mustbeshielded from destructive competition or the producer most lire in some other country, Hbe lire* here he must

either make them or go without them; he cannot buy them, for the reason that there is no “ something else” he can do by which he can earn the purchase money for the foreign article. Nobody but an economic idiot would now contend that the Protective duty adds a “soumarque” to cost of the commodity. Its only effect is -to give the market to the American producer. The Free-Trader may beat about’ the bush with his speculation, dogmatism, sophistries, and insolence, but the root of -the matter lies within the compass of the foregoing proposition of facts.

Tariff Pictures.

New York Press: The average rate of duty on all our importations during the six months ended Sept. 30, 1890, and just preceding the enactment of the McKinley bill on Oct. I, 1890, was 29.58 per cent. What do you suppose it was under the McKinley bill -for the six months ended Sept. 30, 1890? 19.27 per cent. New York Press: For the three months ending June 30, we bought woolen and worsted goods of Great Britain to the amount of For the same period in 1891 we bought of these British goods only $1,906,515 This means that in three months the McKinley tariff has put into the pockets of the American producers of this particular class of goods the sum of $1,559,554 which would otherwise have gone across the Atlantic to help swell England’s wealth.
