The Democratic “War to the death on the protected industries of this country,’Vis meeting with greater success than even Senator Vest dared hoped for. But the Democrats don’t seem to be having as much pleasure oyer the going down of the “robber baronß” and their industries as they apparently anticipated.

“My Commissioner” and later, “My Minister,” Blount, is about starting home from Hawaii, and will arrho about the time the Myiy Cue gets “My Congress” “On his hands.” Out of respect to Mr. Blount's well known feelings, the national flag ought to be hauled down wherever there is danger of his seeing it, along, the line of his journey through the country -or they should be put a half-mast in his honor, at least. An Indiana Republican paper offers a liberal reward “and no questions asked” for the banner the Democrats of the locality carried in their procession last fall bearing the motto: :“Help Elect Cleveland And: : Get 81.25 for Your Wheat.” : • • £••••••••*• & *#'••• •• ••••••••• # No one has j 7 et delivered the banner and claimed the reward.

The free trade panic has closed many cf the furniture factories at Shelbyviile, and this has caused the removal of many families from the town, with the result of vacant houses in every direction, where before such a thing p«s -a vacant house was itnhaoWn. A few nights ago Bumo parties decorated the doors cf n! ! these houses with large red roosters. The appropriateness of the symbols was apparent to everybody.

This season of terrible financial distress, caused mainly by fear of impending democratic free trade, dbes not disturb the serenity of of mind of the i J resident and the members of his cabinet. They all continue to absent themselves from "Washington, in pursuit of their personal pleasures, with the exception of Hoke Smith, the pen-sion-ripper. He is attending right to his knitting—and even he would not be at his post were it not that he has more joy in suspending pensions than Clevelagd h as in catching fish. In along with the long and ever increasing lists of breaking banks* closing factories and failing firms, iu the daily papers now days, there are almost always several articles headed, “The worst is now over” or “the skies will soon brighten,” ctc, ! <fcc, all being designed to arrept- the rushing tide of free trade adversity, now devastating the country. We sincerely hope that these optimistic promises of better times may be realized, but have little confidence that they will. If the. Democratic Congress which meets “ ff9Xt week, would adopt and publish a solemn declaration not to meddle with the protective tariff, and outline >a safe, conservative financial policy, the improvement would come at once and come to stay. But “whom the gods would (I'eßtroyy they first make mad.” The Democratic party is so full of free trade, free silver and wild-cat money madness, that its madness must work its destruction before permanent prosperity can return to the people.

A Democratic farmer, of Jordan Tp., applied to a Republican neighbor the other day for a loan of 525 to help him tide over the free trade panic. The Republican told the applicant that inasmuch as he had voted for ’ that sort of times, he guessed he would have to make the best of it, without any help from him. The Democrat admitted the justice of that view of the case, and remarked that he would be if he ever helped make another Democratic president.—He—will have plenty of company in that way of thinking before the year 189 G rolls around.

Eckles, cross roads lawyer whom Cleveland made controller of the currency, waxed very gay indeed, when the national banks first began to go down before the approaching democratic panic, such as the Capitol, of Indianapolis, the Chemical and Columbia, of Chicago. Those banks were not to be allowed to resume business except through compliance with very rigorous terms. Now, however, that the bursting of banks has become ns frequent a feature of the free trade panic as is the closing of factories and the failure of business men, the high and mighty controller has assumed quite a different tone, and the national banks are to be encouraged to resume business on almost any terms they can. The controller and his creator Cleveland, are beginning to perceive that the Democratic party, itself, is in imminent danger of being swamped in its own panic.

During the Protective administration of President Harrison the business in the country so prospered as to warrant an increase of 26,000 business concerns newly started up, but, notwithstanding this unprecedented addition to our mercantile institutions, the failures duriug the last year of his administration were 335 less than in the last year of President Cleveland’s first administration, and the total amount involved in such failures was less by $9,786,000. Immediately after the election of President Olevelandln 1892 came the speedy contraction of business and preparation for unknown impending dangers, and the amounts involved in commercial failures increased over 200 per cent in six

months, comparing the first half of 1893 with the first half of 1892 The following is an extract from a speech delivered at Sheffield, England, on the 4th of July last, by President Cleveland’s cousin, Benjamin Folsom, who is United States consul at Sheffield. The speech was delivered at a banquet and printed in the Sheffield Independent of the next day. Mr. Folsom said: England’s greatest customer has been the United States, and in spite of tariffs that have been raised against foreign countries there is, and must continue to be a great and gigantic trade flowing from England to America. [Hear, hear.] You have passed the worst period; you have crossed the highest barrier that can be raised between the United States and England in the way of trade obstruction. [Applause.] I will tell why this is. For the first time since 1860 the Democratic party, which has been the party of free trade, is in power, not only in the executive, but in both its legislative branches. This wag an assurance to English manufactures that the period of worst depression in their trade with the United States was past, that from this time forward that trade would improve, and that the success of the Democratic party was a guaranty of good times for them. Mr. Cleveland’s cousin must be a very short-sighted person if he does not see that the surrender of the American market to English manufacturers means the min of our own. No wonder the British manufacturers applauded these assurances from the United States cqnsul that the Democratic party would aid them in gaining control of the American market. - Indianapolis Journal.

It is currently reported that Hie people of Kentland and vicinity have contracted with a professional rainmaker to make a good rain, to cover a scope of country around Kentland, of 25 miles radius. The price to be paid is 11,200, and the rain to come within four days fr om the time the machine is put in motion. At the time we go to press there is. considerable appearance of rain in the sky, and if there were a professional rain-maker here he could well afford to risk $25 worth of dynamite or $5 worth of chemicals on the chances of getting $1,200 in case it rained in the course of nature, within Lhe next four days. Do you tumble to the rain-makers’ scheme?

Panics in this country have generally been brought about by over speculation, by an undue inflation of the value of stocks upon, which more money had been loaned than gS&Bb’ warranted by theirESeSH; value. In such panics the disturbances and failures, though being of large amounts, were generally limited to speculators of all classes, and, soon after the crash was over, business moved along steadily again. In our present experience the cause is an entirely different one. We now find, even after months of financial stringency, that the stringency has not yet been removed. Money has not returned into circulation, but is evidently being locked up for safe keeping. There is no renewal of stock purchases, which always act as the barometer of commercial prosperity. On the contrary, the conservative feeling is growingTrade is contracting. Manufacturers have become cautious and everywhere show a disposition to close their mills or work on part time. They are vary sceptical as to what orders they accept, in some instances even demanding cash with orders.

In the face of an expected and promised reduction in the tariff, which will permit the importation of large quantities of foreign goods similar to those we are no manufacturing, it is but right that they should prepare. The whole trouble hinges upon the Tariff, which affects our industries^-thus-’creating an industrial panic. There is but one remedy for this fcondition, namely, an appeal, on the part of the people, for the maintenance of of the existing Tariff as it now stands. This the people must demand.

Two Pictures.

New York Press: Last week Joseph King, a Boston veteran, was led up to the pension offiice to receive the pension that would be between him and his faithful helpmate on the one hand, and starvation on the other. The blind hero who had marched bravely to face the rebel shells presented his sightless eyes at the wicket of the pension agent. The money was not there. The government he had helped save has deserted him. Grover Cleveland’s secretary of the interior had ordered the blind soldier’s pension to be suspended. Let us turn for a moment from the picture of want and anguish in the blind soldier’s home to a far different spectacle. Grover Cleveland, who sent a substitute to the war, while Joseph King was fighting the confederates, was yachting in Buzzard’s bay. Hoke Smith, his secretary of the interior, who had ordered the old solier’s pension suspended, was enjoying a trip to Yellowstone Park probably free of expense. Other officials of the administration that hatei the soldiers of the Union were taking their ease in various ways at the expense of the government which men like Joseph King preserved from destruction. ,

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic. Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the b r st remedy in existence for tho flax. Mia experience is well worth remembering. He says: “Last summer I had a very severe attack of flax. I tried almost every known remedy* none giving relief. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recomonded to me. .Tpurcbased a bottle and received almost tmipediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recomending this remedy to any persoh suffering with such a disease, as in .my opinion it is the best medicine in existence.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Meyers the Druggist.

REMEMBER “BILL N.” JONES.

while taking in the World's fair. His place is very easy to get to from this section, being only a few blocks from the Monon’s Englewood depot. The electric street cars pass within two blocks of his place, taking you direct to the fair grounds at a cost of only 5 cents. He has fine rooms, quiet, respectable neighborhood and his charges are very reasonable. A dollar a day, or for two in a room, only 75 centpj each person. He furnishes good meals, in an adjoinirg private residence, at 20 cents a single meal, or 57 cents a day for all three meals including a nice lunch to take with yblltOthegrounds. An especially strong point in favor of his place, is immunity from danger of fire. Two World’s Fair hotels have burned already, and several others nanowly escaped. His place is 1216 West 61st street, Englewood. Get off the ears at Englewood, go west a few blocks on the 63rd street cars to May street, then walk north two blocks to 61st street, and there you are. Again we say; Remember “Bill N.” and be wise.
