Every shipload of foreign products that we buy displaces just that quantity that is made in the United States, aud as you displace this quantity the requisite labor required to make it in the United States- You may put more money into the Federal Treasury, b\it while you are doing it you are putting out the fires in your own furnaces. — Hon Wui. McKinley. A nation dependent upon agriculture only may possess a large population aud produce a superabnndant food supply, but will always be loaded with foiegu debt and subject to panics and hard times. Where manufactures, commerce end miuing are abundantly encouraged aud protected-the nation may with a limited ability to compete in agriculture, stand in the front rank. This nation, with its imcomparable advantages, can lead, all others in weatbf aß j*rw i eT, independence l and continuous prosperity, if its own labors d capital are sufficiently encouraged aud protected.—Tariff Review.

Something to think of.

We clip |be following statement from the Ainerieau Economist. It is something for the people of Jasper county v to think over and make up their minds before depositing their ballot next fall: “Cider a protective "tariff the public debt was reduced over $75, (XX),000 anuaully for 28 ' year*, while under the Wilsou-Gorinau tariff bill Cleveland and Carlisle have increased the bonded debt about $80,000,000 a year. These figu.es clearly show the difference between protection and low’ tariff, but., unfortunately for the people, the effect of this latter policy has been far more disastrous to the industries of the country than it has been to the revenues of the government" And now come the Chinese, with their nsnal brag and blow, claiming that the X rays are on Dew discovery to them. They claim the X rays were known in <3hina centimes age.—Michigan

City ?yews.

Nay, brotfer, the Cbmese make no stich claim. There i#li brood of professional liars Neopnected with the daily papers, of close kin to the pestilent “telegraph liars’’ that correspond with them from country towns, and the invention of big lies about the wonderful things the Chiriese have done in the past, is a regular part of their business. No matter what wonderful and unheard of thing be discovered in science, nor what marvellous new machine be invented, thereis aTwayssomebody ready to start the Story that their “ancient records” show that the “Heathen Chinees” knew all about it centuries ago. The professional “Chinese liar” is a pernicious and brainless frauds i

What Congressmen Say.

Irelaud once supported in reasonable comfort 8,000,000 of people. Her manufacture of linen, silk, wool and cotton, protected by Tariffs and encouraged by subsidies, absorbed her capital, employed her laborers, promoted a diveisity of industries, and insured prosperity. England was her next friend, advised, cajoled and flattered her into the belief that she could raise raw materials op her fertile soil, sell them to her, buy of her the manufactured products more cheaply than she could make them, and that Free-Trade would be a national blessing Beguiled by her, Ireland consented, her Tariff was gradually repealed, horizontally destroyed, her subsidies withdrawn. Since then she has been raising raw material, selling it to Englaud, buying her manufactured goods of her at prices determined by England alone, and today, with only 5,000,000 of people, is the poorest, most distracted and harassed country on earth. She drauk the Free-Trade cup which England pressed to her lips to the very dregs.—Hon. William P. Frye, V. S. Senator, of Maine. It is a pity that Mayor McKinley will not talk to the satisfaction of his enemies. Harper’s Weekly says he has no opinions of any kind about anything save the tariff, or if he has they are not accompanied by the courage necessary to express them. It is too bad. If Mayor MeKinley would only shoot off his mouth on all subjects at all times, what a prime favorite he would be with Harper’s Weekly, the Democratic party and his Republican opposition. ’ .

I remember that these people found fault with liraut because he didn't talk eaougli to suit Them. They called him a sphinx, and abused him in all manner of ways because he wouldn’t talk, But there came a time when he did talk, aud when he opened his mouth Lis enemies disappeared before him like .dust before a cyclone. There is no satisfying these people, and McKinley understands j that perfectly. He is conscious {'that the great- majority of the people of the United States have confidence in his ability, and in his fituess for the Presidency, aud that be is sound on all of the issues in which they are concerned. He has never yet lacked for courage to express his views on public questions at the proper time. It took courage to force the enactment of a protective tariff law in 1890 against the combined hosts of Democracy, mugwumpery, and a considerable number of weak kneed Republicans, who were imbued with the notion that the McKinley idea of a prptective was too radical, but he hkd the Gourage, the law was enacted and the greatest era of prosperity was entered on that the country had ever seen.—Lafayette Herald.

Some of Our County Candidates.

Robert B. Porter, better known as Bruce Porter, is the Republican caodidate for County Recorder, and is a man of whom no criticism of any kind can be . truthfully ihade. He was'Bom on'lfie £ar£f

where he now liv'ee, a few mileiy south-east of Rensselaer, has livetU there; all his life,- and has always commanded the fullest respect and esteem of all his He was born a Republican and cant be anything else, and a mighty earnest one too; but for all that* le has lots of strong friends outside the party lines. Mr. Porter will be 44 years old next June, “if he has good luck.” /He was too . young to have been a soldier in the great war, like his brother candidates, Gwin and Reed,: bnt he came of a family that probably sacrificed as much for the Union cause as any family in Jasper County. Three of,, his brothers went to the war, and two of* them fell in battle and the other died of sickness. Z- ■-

Nathan J. Reed, the worthy candidate for County Sheriff on the Republican ticket, is not a native Hoosiei, but he came near enough to being a Hoosier to be a Buckeye; which is the next best thing. He was born in Warren Co , Ohio, in Sept. 1844; and therefore, although he doesn’t look by a dozen years, he is now nearly 52 years old. Nate i 3 an “old bach” and very probably will not relish our giving away his age in this public manner, but the truth is the truth, and it must come out when a man runs for office.

Mr. Reed’s parents brought him west with them, with other portable property, while he was still a mere kid, and from Warren Co., Ohio, jumped to Warren Co., Indiana. It was at Williamsport, in the latter county, in August 1862, that Nathan, being then 18 years old, enlisted in the 72nd Indiana Regiment; and in which he served nearly three years, or uutil the end of the war in 1865. In 1871, with his father, the late Wm. Reed, he came to Jasper County, and located two or three miles from Rensselaer, where he lived until three or four years ago, when he moved to Remington. Mr. Reed is all right in every way, and is popular with everybody, and all parties, and will make a good sheriff.

The lately much advertised Encyclopedic Dictionary is an “Encyclopedic Fraud,” and it is a sin and a shame that the great daily papers of the country have so extensively advertised what they must have know was essentially a a swindle. And more especially, when the advertisements of the .work are so gotten upas to convey •to the mind of the ordinary reader the idea that the newspapers themselves are publishing and selling the work. The dictionary as now being sold' by the alleged “American Newspaper Syndicate,” a syndicate that has no existence in point of fact, is a photographic reprint of an English work, over 20 years old. A few American changes, in spelling and other matters, have been patched and cobbled in, to conceal the too evident ancient English origin of ofi-the work, but these are not numerous nor extensive enough to make it in any sense an up-to-date work. The names of eminent men are advertised as “editor’s” who never had the least connection with it. The alleged introductory price of sl6 is also a swindle. The English edition of the work, essentially the same as this, is sold regularly by John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, for $6 and in St. Louis it has been sold for fonr. |

The New Tariff And The Farmer. Republicans will have an advantage in tariff argument this year they have not had in recent campaigns—a fresh object lesson, in the shape of the Wilson tariff law. Heretofore they have had to go back beyond the present generation to bring to view the evil effects of a low tariff. Now they have statistics which are borne out in the* experience of every ■ man, woman and child now living who is able to reason from cause to effect 0 □lt was the stock in trade of democratic writers and speakers to denounce the McKinley law fbr ]

its discrimination against farmers, and the advocates of the Wilson law insisted that they were legislating in a way to protect the farmer and at the same time increase his sales abroad. The actual working of the new law show how misleading were these assertions and pretensions. Official figures furnished by the Treasury department show that in all the great staples of farm produbtion, such as w’heat, barley, wool, hides, tobacco, meats, flax, bread-stuffs, hops, hay, hemp, cotton, aud others, the importations have largely increased under the new law, while in the same class of articles the exportations! uud6r the new law have decreased. On twenty of these farm staples the imports in the last year of the

MeKintey law were 556, while for the year 1895 under the Wilson law they increased to $134,860,468, thus supplying to the I home market about $70,000,000 worth of products from abroad I I which had heretofore been fur- [ I nished by the farmers of our own/ I couutrv. !j ■ r Did the farmers sell enough abroad to compensate for this loss? Let the Treasury figures answer again Id the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, the last fiscal year | under the Wilson law, the exports of products of domestic agriculture amounted to $628,71,4763 In the year 1895, the first calendar year under the Wilson law, the exports of products of domestic agriculture amounted to only $545,714,375. This was a falling bff of $83,000,000 in the amount exported. s

So for the first year* under the Wilson law the results for the farmer may be summarized thus: Foreigners sold $70,000,000 more .farm products in the farmer’s home market, and the farmer Bold $83,000,000 less of his products abroad than in the same, length of time under the McKinley law! A great thing for the farmers are “the markets of the world” as demonstrated by democratic tariff Taws.
