THE REPUBLICAN Thursday, August 22 "1895. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY BY - Publisher and Proprietor. OFFICE In Republican building, on Corner of Washington and Weston streets. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION, One Tear J"~ |1.50 Six Months... 75 Three Months 60 Official Paper of Jasper County.

“I have been surprised,” said an iron manufacturer yesterday, “that Republican papers have not lorg ; ago pointed out the fact which the Journal called attention to yes- ) terday, to the jeffect that the re- [ vival of the iron trade is due to the protective duties in the metal schedules of the {resent tariff; laws. True, most of its duties are] lower than those of the McKinley law, but some of them are said to be higher. There is no Wilson bill in the iron schedule, but the duties are based upon the McKinley law.” If the whole tariff law had been made as favorable to American producers as are the_ metal schedules they would have retained the home and wages could be increased all along the line.— Indianapolis Journal.

For The Thoughtful Voter.

For the thoughtful American voter who casts his ballot not because he favors a party but because he likes its principles, for the good their enactment will do his country, an interesting set of figures has been prepared by the American Economist showing the loss which democratic policy has caused in American exports in Kne year. For the 12 months ending June 30, 1894, our exports were 8869,058,158. For the 10 months that the democratic tariff measure has governed the country the exports of American products have fallen off $75,505,140. These figures represent the loss in value of exports to American producers operating under a tariff measure prepared by democratic statesmen, excuse the term, and republican statesman. This enormous loss in value was accompanied by a proportionate loss of

wages to the workingmen whose labor produced these goods during the two periods compared. Is this not food for serious reflection by the American laboring man, the American manufacturer and every true and patriotic American? The lues of over $75,000,000 in the value of exports is not the only evil produced by the enactment of democratic theories on the great subject of tariff. A comparison of the figures showing the value of foreign made goods brought into the United States during the periods bnfore noted shows that sb-i,185,303 more goods were imported since the Wilson bill we it into effect than during the last 13 months of the berated McK-n!ey law. Cannot labor see that this 884.000,000 of value meanb a large proportion of loss te it? Is it not a laut that the! lesstbe value of imports and the greater the value of exports the greater the profit to laborer and producer?

An Indiana Judge Criticiz ed.

The decision of Judge Taylor recently rendered at Te,rre Haute declaring certain sections of the Nicholson liquor law inoperative, is criticized by the Indianapolis Journal as {follows. The decision of Jadge Taylor, of Terre Haute, construing certain sections of the Nicholson law, is a good illustration of legal quibbling. Sections 2, 3 and 4of the law pontain several prohibitory clauses, and declare the prohibited things unlawful, and Section 4 says, “Upon conviction for the violation of this or either of the foregoing sections of this act the defendant shall be fined,” etef Judge Taylor holds that there can 'be no conviction under this clause the ueteuuuut is Bhown to have violated every provision in a particular section. In other words, he holds that a section ia

not violated until it is violated in every part. Under this ruling it would be no violation of Section 2 for a saloon keeper to have partitions in his room unless he also has devices for amusement, and music, and so of the prohibitory clauses in other sections. Where the intenhofrrlawTs as plain as it is in this case, courts snould not try to wrest words from their natural meaning. The ~j|gnal clause in Section 4 might have been better expressed and more explicit, but- its meaning is plain enough for anybody but a quibbler. It does not take a lawyer to see that each prohibitory clause in Sections 2, 3 and 4 constitutes a separate offense, and that the penalty Ms intended to apply to the violation of either. y

Owen Hurley, Hiram Smith, Harve Darner and Bill Rowdybush, the “Big Four” from Blackford, came over to Fair Oaks, traveling on their muscle. After skirmishing to some extent they withdrew and the last seen of them they were retreating towards Nubbin Ridge, and their opponents still hold possession of Fair Oaks. A peace conference is expected in the near future between Fair Oaks and Blaokford.
