State Central Committee Meeting.

There will be a meeting of the State Republican Central Committe at Indianapolis, Indiana, on Tuesday the 28th of December, 1897, for the purpose of fixing a date for the reorganization of the party campaign of 1898. The- State Central Committee would be pleased to see a goodly Humber of republicans attend the meeting from Jasper County. B. F. Ferguson, Chairman.

The tin-plate manufacturers of the United States will, it is believed, soon be actively competing in the European markets with the tin-plate makers of Wales, who less than a decade ago were supplying not only all of Europe but all of the United States. Will the Democrats claim this as another evidence «f the accuracy of their theory that low tariff cultivates a foreign market for our products?

The United States as a whole is following the example which the • formers of the country set in utilizing their first earnings for a rednction of their mortgage indebtedness. Less of American securities are now being held abroad than at any time in the past quarter of a century, thus showing that the country, like the citizens, is reducing as rapidly as possible the amount which it must pay to others for interest on indebtedness.

The new tariff law presents its compliments to its framers on their return to Washington with an evidence of steady growth In earnings. They were August $19,023614,' in September $21,933,098, ip October $24,391,415, and in November $25,000,000. That is a steady, heathful growth, which indicates that long before its first year has ended it will be producing the promised surplus.

The manufacturing industries which the protective system has brought to such perfection are still steadily moving southward and carrying with them the protection sentiment into that section of the country. The latest example of this is found in the Indian Head Cotton Mills of Cordova, Ala., whose proprietors have just closed a contract for the sale of the entire output of their mills in China during a five years’ period.

There is m growing feeling that the elements . i patriotism and of willingness to ■ > the party in power an opportu.. to test its proposed principles y! ch caused the passage of the tarn. ’.H may result in drawing together . sufficient number of votes in the S.. >te to pass a bill based upon the propositions of President McKinley's message, in which he recommends a system by which it will be impossible to embarrass the Government by a continuance of the use of the greenbacks to draw gold out of the Treasury.
