Gov. McKinley is announced to make the opening speech of the Indiana campaign, about the 15 th of September. It had been hoped that ex-President Harrison could return from California to make the opening speech, but this lie will be unable to do. In securing Mr. McKinley in his place, Chairman Gowdy has made the best possible selection.

A girl was killed in Tennessee, last week, doing the parachute leap act. A week or two previous another parachute girl met the same fate, at Anderson, this state. This parachute business is altogether too dangerous, and managers of fairs and celebrations who provide it, as drawing attractions, are guilty of a great moral wrong, every time they do it.

The large force of stone cutters working on the new court house, at Monticello, who were getting 35 cents an hour, struck for 40 cents. After laying around on expenses, and losing their time for over a week, they went to work again, at the old price. Many of the men had long been out of work, were hard up and had families to support. Yet they went on a strike when they were earning such good wages as $3.50 a day, and lost their time and money and ran a big risk of losing their jobs. This striking business, as a general rule, is the monumental folly of the century.

The Situation as to Finance.

The Indianapolis Journal puts forth the present financial situation in the following words: The gold reserve is down to $53,000,000, and this week’s foreign ship-

ments will probably reduce it to $50,000,000. The administration is hoping for a large increase of revenue from the heavy importations that will set in under the new tariff bill. It is possible this hope may be realised, but it will Be ’ at the expense of American manufactures and workmen, who ought to profit by the-business which it is proposed to turn over to their foreign rivals. There are better ways of raising revenue than by destroying American industries.

Capt. R. W. Marshall, whose probable candidacy for the Congressional nomination, was mentioned last week, is now, to use a much misused but m this case, entirely proper expression, “in the hands of his friends,” and his name will be presented to jthe Logansport convention, next Wednesday. In the present fair, free and friendly canvass for the nomination, he will imitate the example of all the other gentlemen throughout the district whose names are prominently mentioned in this connection and will make nd special canvass, or effort to secure the nomination. His friends will properly present his claims to the convention; and ■whether that body in its wisdom, sees fit to make him its nominee, or bestows the honor upon- some other, he will still be the same unswerving, hard working Republican he always has been. That Jasper county will stand by him unitedly, so long as there remains any reasonable prospect for—securing the nomination for our county, his friends confidently and rightfully expect.

A Party of Pure Negative.

Ex-Speaker Tom Reed strikes very close to the inner heart of the situation when he says: “The history of the last year must have been a bitter disappointment to many good men, who, not satisfied_Lwitk_al reasonam good government. sought to find a future better than the past by throwing themselves into the hands of a party which was and is the creation of pure opposition, a party which has never been for anything in particular, but? simply against everything in general. How these men could have hoped for anything but the dismal result which now darkens the country they are probably at this moment asking themselves with more of anger than of sorrow.”

Why he Wants Free Coal.

The American Economist asserts boldly that President Cleveland urges free coal for the one so’e purpose of benefitting his ex-Sec-retary of the Treasury, Mr. Wm. C. Whitney, and the coal combination with which he is associated, to "develope the coal mines - of Novia Scotia. It refers to an official document published less than a year ago, with the sanction of President Cleveland—the last annual report of the United States Geological Survey, dated September 30, 1893—for the following' confirmation: It may be noted as a fact of some interest that the imports of coal (at Boston) from Novia Scotia, never large, have fallen off steadily, until last year there was practically none received at this point. Now, however, that the Cape Breton county coal fields have passed into the hands of Mr. Wm. C. Whitney and his associates, new and improved machinery will be employed, both increasing the output and reducing the cost of mining per ton over the primitive methods hitherto Employed, and it is expected that, as a result more of this coal will eventually find its way into this market in competition with the product from Pennsylvania mines.

The Best Fiat Money Scheme Yet.

Word and Works publishes verbatim, the appended communication on the money question. It is no doubt written in good faith by a populist victim of the fiat money lunacy, but whether it is or not, when you come right down to the essential reasonableness of the plan, it is not one whit more senseless and impracticable than any

other of the populistic cheap mpney schemes. Following is the communication: “I see so much said on the money question and it is plain that they cant come to an agreement they all hav their oon way now i am a populist but hav the best financal skeam, yet it would give plenty of money to all and everybody would be happy it is this way Mr. Cleveland he doant like silver and we populist doant like goald so my way or plan is to have the government issue money in blank form like check booke with one hundred in a book they should read like this this is legal tender and is based on the welth of the whole government they cud sei theas books for fifty cents a peace i think that would be a fare price for them doant you see how handy it would bee if I buy a cow for fourteen dollars and seventy five cents all I would have to do would be to take my pencil and fill it out like this sl4 75-100 you see it would do away with all small change and be so much handyer and everybody would have all the money they wanted and it would stop the train robbers for they could make their own money cheaper than they could steel it and it would settle all this money question without enny bloodshed now I want to hear from some one what they think of my patent.— Yours for peace Yankey williams Mystic lowa. Eli Perkins is classed as a humorist, but he has recently been presenting some practical facts touching the labor question and present democratic times that are calculated to attract the attention of a class of people who deal in cold facts, and bard sense alone. He says: “The other day I called upon ex-President Harrison, at the Hawthorn, a beautiful apartmenthouse overlooking Central Park. The ex-President looked happy and contented as he held and petted his beautiful grandchildren but I could see a feeling of sadness.conwßiver him when he spoke of the hard times which have come upon us. Z

“On the first of January, 1893,” he said, “’we had in the treasury $108,000,000 in gold. Last year we sold gold bonds which, with the premium on them, put $58,000,000 more gold in the treasury, making $166,000,000. Of this $166,000,000 we have only $56,000,000 left. We have lost in this time $110,000,000, It is not a happy thing to think of,” and then he sighed and looked over into the park. “These gold losses are mers bagatelles compared to the daily loss of $14,000,000 through idle labor,’ I said. The President listened but did not reply, but looked at me inquiringly. So I continued.

“Tom Reed, with the census as his authority, says in good protective tariff times, when the wheels are all turning, 15,000,000 people out of the 70,000,000 were at work Some received 850 a day, some 810 and some 81. The average was 82. So 830,000,000 went into circulation every day. The boys earned it and spent it. Now one-third of these workmen are idle, the mills are stopped, and 810,000,000 is lost every day. The 10,000,000 people ct work have had their’ per cent, to match the Wilson bill. There is 84,000,000 more lost every day. Fourteen million dollars lost every day is what is surely bankrupting the Nation. The income tax, looses on sugar and all the little 1-cent vagaries of Democracy are nothing compared to the labor loss.” The ex-President nodded his head.

“I'his terrible loss of $45,000,000 a month, of $530,000,000 a year,” I continued, “is what makes the hard times. . It makes the strikes. It makes the Coxey tramps. “Something is doing it,” said the ex-President. “What will change this disaster to prosperity,” I asked? “Why the same protective tariff that filled the treasury with gold for thirty-three years—the same protective tariff that enabled the Nation to pay off $2,000,000 —two billions of our national debt in thirty-three years; the same pro-

tective tariff that kept all the wheels turning and 15,000,000 people at work.” “These are interesting statistics,” said Mr. Harrison, “and they ought to be put where the people can refiectupon them.” After the Democrats of the House had swallowed the bitter dose Gorman and his gang forced down their throats, and had passed the Senate tariff bill, without having changed a letter, their action in rushing through a lot of new bills, putting sugar, coal and iron ore on the free list, was little better than child’s play. They knew perfectly well that not one of the new bills would ever b.e even, considered by the Senate, at tliig session. ■———__Z ’ .- _*
