I repeat, Mr: Chairman, that are may all rejoice that this unpatriotic administration is . growing to a close; this bondiissuiug, queen restoring, debt increasing, factory clhsing, wage reducing, prosperity killing Democratic administration. • GoNGREssnaN Morse. In 1895 we sold almost 6,000,000 bushels less wheat and 1,680,000 barrels less flour to foreign countries than in 1894. The mgney loss exceeded $10,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that the average price of wheat was about 9 cents a bushel higher last year than in 1894. The new cotton crop year still shows a falling off in our exports of that commodity, the decrease this season, in four months to December 31, being 2,367,500 bales as compared with the corresponding months in 1884. Japan still continues to be the only country that is increasing its purchases of American cotton. Wire nails were worth $2.10 per keg on Jan. 1, 1892. But the Free Traders, by reducing the Me Kinley Protective Tariff, got the price up to $2.53 per keg on January 1, 1896. With a little more time and absolute Free-Trade, we might have reached the old antebellum price of 17 cents a pound for wire nails. But the people want Protection and cheap pricesThe world’s production of gold last year was $203,000,000. To realize the import of those figures it may be added that this product exceeds the value of the annual output of both metals down to 1878, when it was $214,000,000. Only as long ago as 1880 the output of gold and silver together was valued at only $203,200,000. Now the gold product alone is as much. We are the only rival that England fears, for we alone'have in our borders the population and the wages, the raw material, and within ourselves the great market which insures to us the most improved machinery. Our constant power to increase our wages insures us also continuous progress. If you wish us to follow the example of England, I say yes, with all my heart, but her real example and nothing less. Let us keep Protection, as she did, until no rival dares to invade our territory, and then we may take our chances for a future which by that time will not be unknown. —Hon. Thos. B. Reed. >

This bringiDg of every dirty little family or neighborhood row into the coarts, has come to be an intolerable nuisance in Rensselaer, and it is about time for our prosecuting attorney to let up on that kind of business. And this last Ankeny-Moore matter, with a dozen or two respectable ladies, who know nothing whatever about the case, summonsed as witnesses, a young girl arrested in the school house; the trial set for Sunday and in the town hall, so that all (he bums and loafers in the country Could be present and hear the dirty details and observe the humiliation of the respectable ladies compelled' to be present as witnesses; this was the crowning outrage of all. The prosecuting attorney is the party responsible lor bringing all these miserable cases into court. He is not only under no obligation to so bring them, but it is his duty to the community to refuse to bring such cases, with nothing in them but personal spite, into the publicity of the courts.

God could do any thing -said He could not make a three-year-old colt in a minute. The American people are very active, enterprising, patriotic ahd eneigetic, but they could not build 1 an armorplated war ship in a few days nor make a ten-inch rifleq gun in a week. If the United States ever expects*to be in & condition of selfdefense the means must be preparetl in advance..—lndianapolis Journal. * > ■ And still mote' does the nation need to be prepared in advance* if we, as a nation* are to adopt the policy of “looking for trouble” or, figuiatively speaking, going around with the chip on our shoulders at all times, as Cleve-. land’s Venezuela message, and Senator Davis’s Monroe Doctrine resolution seems to indicate. But whether it be an aggressive and warlike, or a peaceful policy that is adopted as our national mle, the necessity of properly preparing beforehand for both offensive and defensive war, is none the less our duty. If we want war and are bound to have it, then we should put ourselves in shape to wag's it successfully. * If it is peace, (with honor) that we want, then the sur, est way to preserve it, is to put ourselves in shch shape for war that no other nation will dare to insult or injure us.

How Markets Are Captured.

The Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department enables ns toßhow how we have been captaring the markets of the World. Here are onr exports of American products and manufactures for six years, 1890 to 1895. EXPORTS OF AMERICAN PRODUCTS. Year. “ “Value. 1890.. ,$845,987,711 1891 957,333,551 1892. ..923,237,315 1893 , ..-.854,737,771 Protection average 920,824,087 1894.. .807,312,116 1895.. ....807,776,846 Free-Trade average 807,543,982 During the four years of McKinley Protection we captured foreign markets worth, ou an average $920,324,087 a year. The breach in the wall of Protection cost us $121,780,000 in each year of 1894 and 1895. The sooner the wall is repaired the less costly it will be to ns.

Governor McKinley’s Prophecy.

Considering the verdict of the people in 1893, 1894 and 1895, the following extract from a Bpeech made by Hon. Wm, McKinley, at the annual dinner of the Republican League of Ohio in honor of Lincoln’s Birthday, delivered on February 14, 1893, seems almost prophetic: It was in this year, 1892, while in the enjoyment of unexampled prosperity, that the Republican legislation which made this condition was, as the Democratic leaders would have us believe, repudiated by the people, and the Demcratic policy of British Free-Trade and wildcat money indorsed. Ido not believe it. If they act upon that belief they will be promptly repudiated by the people. Not only has the year 1892 registered an era of conspicuous progress and unexampled prosperity, but it witnessed a National administration under President Harrison unexcelled in honesty, power, and patriotism by any of its predecessors. Of this rich inheritance the Democratic party becomes the trustee for the people. It is my hope that it may suffer no loss or waste in their hands. I wish the country could he assured it would not. If it does, the trust will come back to us—and it will come back to us with the doubly-renewed confidence of the people.

One of the Old Free-Trade Theories. It is mighty interesting reading to look over the files of the Democratic papers during the campaign period of 1892. When we recollect how the shoddy factories of Yorkshire have been running day and night during 1895, and note the millions of pounds of rags and shoddy that we have imported during our first year of free wool, it is rather amusing to recall what the English editor of the New York Evening Post said, Novemher 21, 1892. with the flush of victory blazing and blustering upon his shoddy countenance. Here it is: " “Even supposing q complete re-

vision of the Tariff could not be made in the spring, consider what might be done in the way of commending Tariff reform to the country, and re storing hope and confidence to industry in general by simply taking the duty off one article—wool. This would at once start one of our most important industries, the woolen industry, which has long been languishing, into renewed activity. Clothing, blankets, prime necessaries of life-would promptly feel the effect of it. The shoddy mills would shut U p with much cursing aiid execration of FreeTraders, but the poor: man would get a coat whose cheapness and durability would, far from making him a ‘cheap man,’ increase his self respect as well rb his temperature, and he would go to sleep under a real woolen blanket, and not a McKinley cotton or shoddy simulacrum.” The “cheap man” now, with his cheap wages or no wages, has plenty of time to go to sleep under a Yorkshire shoddy blanket if he can afford that, cheap article. Many of them suffer, uncovered, under leafless trees, hardly to dream, but to think of the good old American wbbl blankets of McKinley times.

DEATH OF JOHN KARSNER.

John H. Karsner died last Wednes day morning, Jan. 22nd, 1696, at the home of bis son, W. W. KarSner, at No. 69 Hamilton Ave. Chicago, at the age of 66 years, 2months and 4 days. Having sold his residence here, just three weeks and two days before his death, he and his wife went to Chicago to make their home with their son, above named. Immediately after his removal to Chicago he was taken with the grip, and While still suffering with that, he was seized with paralysis; and from this he died. The deceased was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 18, 1829. He came to Jasper Co., in 1853, where he made his continuous or nearly continuous residence until his recent removal to jbhicago. Thus he has lived in Rensselaer for nearly 43 years. He married Mary R. Babb in 1855, and she survives him as do also all of the eight children born to them. His remains were brought back here, for interment, and his funeral was held last Friday afternoon, at the Church of God, conducted by Rev. F. M. Austin. Interment in Weston cemetery.

The Circuit Court.

Hairy Gifford was tried for assault and battery and found not guiltyKane Galbraith gave his own recognizance, for SIOO, to answer at the March term on the charge of intoxication. Geo. W. Goff and Joe Reynolds, his clerk, were tried, separately, on the charge of selling tobacco to minors. Very promptly found not guilty. Chas. Pefley, John Minicus and Frank Minicus were all tried by jury on charge of drunkenness, and all were acquitted. Orange Brewer and Al Catt, charged with the same offence as the above, were indiscreet enough to plead guilty, and they were fiaed $1 each. The grand jary, in its re-called session, to investigate the 1 alleged attempt to bribe a juror, in the Graves vs. Hoile case, found an indictment against John Graves, of Wheatfield, the plaintiff in the case. The charge of the court to the grand jary, previous Ho investigating the alleged bribery case was an interesting document, bat a little too long to be published in full and from its nature. not easily susceptible of condensation.
