The Republican. T '«z. OFFICIAL PAPER OF JASPER COUNTY ISSUED EVERY TUESDAY & FRIDAY BY GEORGE E. MARSHALL, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. OFFICE—In Republican buijding on corner of Washington and Weston Streets. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year $1.50 Six Months 75 Three Months \ 50 Friday, October 29, 1897„

The persistency with wjiich the Ohio Democrats avoid discussing tariff or currency this year is quite remarkable, especially in view of the fact that they made silver their chief issue only three months ago. The deficit of the second month of the Dingley law.was over three million dollars, bfit the deficit of the second month of the Wilson law was over $13,000,000. Does anybody want to trade back? The farmers of the country will probably be interested in the fact the August (1897) importations of wool under the new protective tariff were but a little more than half those of August, 1896, under the free trade tariff then in operation, and that the importation of manufactures of wool in August, 1897, weie less than one-sixth those of August. 1896, in value.

Senator Hanna has made a prompt and vigorous denial of the recently published statements of the New York World and other papers which charged him with making a deal with capitalists of the East last year by which they were to get certain advantages in the prospective sale of the Union Pacific road, as compensation for their contributions to the Republican campaign fund. In a speech recently delivered at Cleveland he said: "The facts are that I never heard of the measure or the svndicate, or anything about it, until early in July last, one year after this alleged plot was laid- I do not even know who are the members of the syndicate, I never had any conversation with any of them in regard to it, and I never was called upon by my vote or influence to say one word in regard to that sale. It was a contract made on the part of the Government by Grover Cleveland’s administration, and the only part of it relating to this administration is that the contract has been agreed to on the part of the present administration on the agreement that the syndicate should give five million dollars more for it than under the terms made by the Cleveland administration. That is all I know about it; the rest is a lie.” Prof. W. E. Henry, state librarian, has inaugurated a most praiseworthy plan for collecting and cataloguing a bibliography of Indiana, to include as far as possible every book, pamphlet and magazine article written by an Indiana citizen.

He desires that all persons who know of such works send him the name of the author, the title of the production and the date and place of the publication, without regard to the character or merit of the work. His bibliography is to be published as soon as it is approximately complete, and will be of inestimable historical value. Comptroller Eckels of the Treasury Department says that the conditions throughout the country are most satisfactory. The improvement has come rapidly and permeates all lines of industry. It began with the agricultural classes. Tire farmers have good crops and are getting high prices for them. The cattle-raisers are benefited by a substantial raise in he price of cattle. Tiru same istrue with the sheep-raisers. This improvement in agricultural earn-, ings has had its effect on the railroads by increasing their earnings. It has put money into circulation and has enabled peeple to discharge their debts and thereby benefited the merchants.

Not even tlie< satisfaction is left to the free-trade Democrats of saying that the Wilson law was better for the exporters of American manufactures than the Dingley law. They thought they had things dead to rights on this score, and that as soon as the new law went into operation they would be able to point to the decrease in the exportations of American i manufactures, but in the very first month of the new law's operations the exportations of manufactured ! articles were larger than in the ' corresponding month of any former year. This is disappointing to these gentry, and somewhat ■ amusing, in connection with their . wails of regret that such a wicked measure should be enacted as the Dingley law, which would cut off 1 our foreign markets.

The free silverites last year made sundry bold statements about a contracted currency; that there was not enough money in the country with which to do business, and that the only way out of it was by the adoption of the free-and-unlimited-coinage scheme. This would tlx things up all right, but unless adopted, many terrible things would happen; wheat would drop to 25 cents a bushel, mortgages would be fore-closed, men could find no employment, and a general gloom would settle over the country. such as had never been seen before. It will be remembered, however, that the free-coinage proposition was not adopted by the voters of the country, and yet in spite of this fact the circulation of the country within a year has increased nearly $100,000,000, wheat has gone up' to the dollar mark, mortgages are being rapidly paid off, men are employed everywhere, and the only gloom observable in the country comes from the factdry smoke.
