Taking a broad view of the. work of protection since 1816, it appears that the principal products the farmers sell have advanced iiyprice an average of 144 per cent, whijg' on the other hand, the principal articles they have to buy have fallen an average of 75 per bpnt Yet Demvvz&Lo eaeuk of trippieplated brass declare that the tariff a tax and a particularly heavy burden on the farmers. John T. Brbwn, the present incumbent of the office of Prosecuting Attorney for the thirtieth judicial circuit, will be a candidate for re-election, subject to the decision of the Republican convention. Mr. Brown has made a very | enviable record as a faithful and ( successful public prosecutor, so muck so, in fact, 'hat it is tl;e literal truth to say that his name has become a terror to evil-doers all over the circuit

The vote in the House on the Bland silver bill means that the Democrats are, afraid to do anything iu face of a Presidental eletion. They have decided to fallback on the time-honored custom 1 of doing nothing and having no platform. They can how promise the people this fall silver that the bill williW passed next winter and those who do not want it that the bill is dead. Then they can come back next winter .and pass the bill.A lai’ge edition of the speech of General Bankhead (ex-Confede-rate) in the' House in denunciation of Union pensions is being printed ■for circulation in the South. This is the sjpeech in which Bankhead threatened a disruption of the Union if the South is not relieved of the pension fax. According to Bankhead the North must pay the entire amount of the pensions itself or prepare to face another rebellion. The South will not submit much longer, he says, to paying a part of the pensions.

JJEP ÜBLICAN E 0 In 1891, during January., the I exports of butter fiom iheUnited „ States to Cuba amounted in value 1 t0' 8953. f> In 1893, under Republican „ i reciprocity, during the corrcsponding month, our exports of (’ butter to that country amounted in"value to 83.148. I Th is increase '‘-of 81,196, or ji 125. ii per cent., was caused by Republican reciprocity.

In the little work on “The Tariff Riddle,” just from the press, it is claimed that the ablest freetrade speech ever made in Congress was delivered by George McDuffie, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and leader of the Democratic side in 1832. That speech was indeed an able one, and covered every argument used by the free-traders of the present day. But while elegant and powerful in debate, McDuffie was still more distinguished for outspoken courage and candor. He did not evade and dodge like the modern freetraders, who steal and copy his arguments without permitting themselves to acquire any of his honesty of speech. Explaining his bill to reduce the tariff to the basis of revenue only, he said: “I admit that this bill, should it pass, will do very great damage to the manufacturing States.” Being a Southerner, that consideration did not weigh with McDuffie. Turning to the Northern members, he said: “I am not considering your interests but your rights.” General McDuffie frankly declared that he wanted a tariff for revenue only to cheapen wages. Privileged to get goods as low in price as he could, he claimed also the right to cheapen labor to the utmost. Advocating free trade in its entirety and with complete honesty, McDuffie deserves to rank as the greatest expounder of that doctrine in, this country. '

What Taxpayers Will Find Out.

During the next three weeks, says the Indianapolis Journal, the people of Indiana will be paying their taxes. If they remember the amounts paid last year they will find that they are paying a much s sum as State taxes this year, for the reason the State fax last year was $1,023,160 andi this year it is $2,249,654—an increase of §1,226,494, or more than ’ double.. Some tax-payers will be a good deal surprised at the increase, Among the most surprised will be those readers of the Sentinel who were informed in the most emphatic manner that their taxes would be no higher in 1892 than they had been in recent years on the same property. They will ascertain that either the Sentinel, did not know or was imposing on] them. Many fjtx-payers will find their State taxes 50 per cent. 1 higher, while in some cases they'

■ ■ ' i will be doubled. If the provi-; sions of the Democratic State law had been adhered to the amount required by the State Asfould be doubled.on the same property. Many tax-payers will find the increase confined chiefly to their State tax. If the same ratio of increase extended to counties and cities people would find their taxes a grevious burden.' The chief increase, however, is confined to State taxes. Was it necessary? In part; under the democratic policy, expenditures have been increasing, and a large debt was accrued. The democratic leaders had to increase the taxation to stop the increase of, debt and to pay currrent expenditures. Thera was, however, no need of more than doubling the State tax. But they not know, and so they blundered, and, as a result, people are paying more than double the State tax they did last year. If a republican legislature had perpetrated such an inexcusable blunder as this doubling of the State tax in any State in the Union, the party ticket would have been snowed under in the next election. Public meetings would hive been held to denounce it, and the democratic press would have set forth the enormity of the outrage in poster- type. Republican papers are making very little noise about the blunder, consequently the surprise and indignation will come wlien the pepple go to pay their taxes. If public spirited men at the several county seats desire to render the people an excellent service, they can do it by standing near the places where Ape ril taxes are paid and showing the people how the State taxes -have been needlessly increased by a blundering legislature and its advisers.

Changes in The Election Law.

The amendments and alleged amendments made to the Australian voting law, at the last session of the state legislature are numerous and in some casesvery radical. Some of them are no doubt meritori ous, while others, again, no doubt, justly deserve the criticism of having been made for the supposed advantage of the democratic party. The theory being that, as in 1890, the Democrats had taken, more pains to be fully posted on the new method of voting, so if radical changes went- into effect for the first time in 1892, they would again be better drilled and less apt "io lose votes through mistakes, than the Republicans.. . One of the most important changes made is in abolishing the small square at the left of the titles, “Democratic Ticket,” “Republican Ticket” &c., and instead surrounding the emblem or picture, the eagle, &c., with large square,of at least an inch and a half on each side, thus;

In voting a straight ticket the voter must hit this big square with his little stamp. But if the voter does not want to vote a straight ticket he must keep off the big square entirely, one offlthe new amendments being very difinite on that point. If he watits to vote a mixed or “scratchI ed” ticket, he must stamp every [name he wants to vote for but must not touch the big square. “If the large square is stamped a stamp elsewhere on the ballot makes it void.” If a stamp mark ds made that touches no square, it is to be treated as a distinguishing • mark” and the ballot must be thrown out Another amendment forbids the placing of any candidate on more than one ticket, as, for instance, was done in this county two years ego, when certain candidates’ names appeared on both the demo-1 cratic and the people’s ticket 1

The initials of the poll clerks on the backs of the ballots are hereafter to be placed on the upper right hand corner, instead of lower left hand corner as before. This brings the initials, directly over the democratic eagle, on the, other side of the ballot; and as the mark of the voter’s stamp almost always shows through the paper, and the ballot must be folded so as to show the initials the democratic inspectors will thus have a good chance to see whether democratic voters are putting in. straight tickets or not. Another amendment permits the use of a “paster” or sticker, but it is so complex that it would puzzle the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer to use one and get his vote m correctly.

WITH BOTH FEET

Hon. T.i'. Reed of Maine Jumps on the Late Mr. Hill of New York.--Scorching Shot from the exSpeaker. Mr. Reed said: David B. Hill is a typical Democrat, and he ought to be the Presidential candidate of his party, because he represents it. He is like it. He understands it, and in a short time, if he is elected, he wilTbe"it.~ The' Democratic party is the party of odd and ends. It is made up of people who are opposed tp, tis- for s cmethiiig which has happeiied It is a party negation.

“When Mr. Hill bloomed into a United States Senator, he hastened to give the first signal instance of his national leadership in a‘speech in which he invited the Democrats, in Congress assembled, to repeal the McKinley Tariff bill and silver Act of the year 1890. This was an excellent instance of true Democratic principle. Let us for Heaven’s sake, get back to yesterday if we can. We would like to reel back the tide of 1,800 years, but we are quite sure that we couldn’t do it; but let us, at least, establish something that will seem Democratic in trying to put back civilization for a couple of years at least. Surely there could not be any better experiment of what Democracy is and What it means. “Mr Hill says in his speech that the Whig party has passed away, other parties -have passed away, but the Democratic party is

forever and ever. That is so. That comes from the very nature of things. There never was in the , world a pancake so flat that it didn’t have an under side, or, to raise this metaphor to the dignity of the present occasion, there never was any army that didn’t have a rear guard. S “But, say some of you, this rear guard df yours seems to have been pretty well to the front at tlife v last election. Well, I admit it; but see what are jloing in Congress' assembled. You can change your skies, but nfever minds when you cross even the widest seas. That rear guard is to-day looking as far backward »s it ever did in days of yore. Nature will assert itself. They no more think of being pioneers into the future than they ever;, thought of initiating the civilization of the world. “Mr Hill says that the Democratic party should stand by the principles of the party, but he never utters one, except as a glittering generality, about as useful, as a rule of practice, as the delicate guidance of a will-o’-wisp in a quagmire.”
