The Republican. OFFICIAL PAPER OF JASPER COUNTY ) 1 ■ lT' ' '' ■ ISSUED EVERY TUESDAY & FRIDAY BY GEORGE E. MARSHALL, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. OFFICE—In Republican building on corner of Washinytou and Weston Streets, f TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year $1.50 Six Months 75 Months 50 Tuesday, February 1, 1898.

Democratic free-traders who claimed that the enactment of the Dingleylaw would ruin our market abroad are not saying anything about the official figures showing the exports of 1897 to have been the largest in the history of the country. The Populist Convention recently held in St. Louis vehemently declared against further fusion with Democrats. The leaders attributed all the confusion and loss of strength during the past two years to the entangling alliance entered into with the Democrats. The leaders declared absolutely against any further combinations of the sort.

The apparent determination of Mr. Bryan to make 16 to 1 and 16 to 1 the only issue so long as he remains before the country in the position of chief spokesman and representative of the Bryan Democracy, has led a good many silver Democrats all over the country to the belief that some broader man, who will not confine himself exclusively to a single hobby, is likely'tor be a more successful candi- , date for the next national campaign. It seems that Senator Morgan was mistaken in his assumption that President Cleveland really favored the annexation/>f Hawaii, and based his apparent opposition upon technicalities which could easily have been removed. Mr. Cleveland rushed promptly to press on hearing of the Senator’s expression of views, anil assured the palpitating public that he, as well as the sugar trust, was dead against the annexation of HuVaii, which has been and is favored by the Republican party. Because the Treasury gold reserve has passed the $162,000,000 mark and is still moving upward, it is no reason why Statesmen should not provide for a rainy day and enact such currency legislation as will preclude the possibility of the draining of the Treasury gold through the emlless-clmin system of presenting greenbacks for redemption which must bo immediately reissued. It is hoped that enough sound-money Democrats will be found to co-operate with the Republican in the Senate to insure the adoption of some such currency measure as that suggested by President McKinley in his message to Congress. The large annual increase in the consumption of sugar showH a constantly widening field for the growers of sugar beets and the promoters of sugar beet factories. The sugar consumed in 189(5 was 1,900,086 tons, but in 1897 was 2,09(5,260 tons, an increase in the year of 166,177 tous or 272,854,000 pounds. Of the total production in 1897, only 41,847 tons was from beets grown in the United States. The total sugar production of the United States was 886,650 tons, leaving other countries to supply us with 1,760,607 tons, most of it coming; from Europe. There seems no reason why this should be, possessing, ns we do, the best sugar beet land in the world. .The free-traders are still trying to tell the people that the cause of the reduction of wages in the New England cotton mills is found in the iniquitous Dingley law. When such assertions are persistently make by Democratic statesmen

they point to a lack of sincerity, as a casual examination of the facts and conditions as they exist shows clearly that the operations of the tariff law have nothing whatevei to do with the reduction of wages and the strikes irf New England It is simply a question of internal competition and' the ability of Southern cotton manufactures, by reason of lower Images and less freight charges, to place their finished product upon the market at a lower figure than the New England manufacturers. This necessitates a reduced cost of production among the New England mills, and has resulted in a cut in the wages of the employees

A Possible Sugar Factory At Rose Lawn.

Monon Nows. Wm. Kile, of Rose Lawn, was in Monon last Saturday He informs The News that the prospects are favorable for the establishment of a sugar beet factory at that point the coming season. A representative of syndicate that has in contemplation the founding of several of these factories in this section of the State visited Rose Lawn last week for the purpose of interesting land owners in the enterprise. He wants pledges from the farmers to devote so many acres to beet culture, and if a sufficient amount of acrenge can be subscribed to warrant the company in locating a plant there, it will be completed in time to work up the coining seasoh’s crop. Mr. Adams, who has large land interests around Rose Lawn, has promised to devote 1,200 acres to the culture of the new sugar product, while others are giving like encouragement. Northern Indiana beats the world in growing a fine quality of sugar beets, and The News expects to see a wonderful development of this hitherto dormant territory, as a result of beet culture;

Sunday School Column

BY W. C. SMALLEY,

CONDUCTED

REMINGTON, INDIANA. “Only that is important which is eternal.” Most all the good Christians were made in the Sunday School before they were twenty one years of age. Union Township has five good church buildings and all are doing good work. At Brushwood a wonderful meeting was held this winter. Surely to drive 4hrough a township and see so many churches ! indicates the character of the peo- j pie living in it. Fair Oaks has lost a noble Sunday school worker in Bro. Blue who has recently moved to Attica, in this state. We shall miss him i but know he will help the work in liis new home and what is our loss is Attica’s gain, Attica is in a county that has a double Banner. We want to ask a personal question of every one who has the success of the Sunday school at heart. What are you doing to help your school? If a Supt.—does your school grow? If a teacher do you follow Paul’s advice to Timothy “Study to show thyself an approved workman? If a soholar do you have your lessons? The Bible is an inspired book but it does not inspire a way of learning for the scholar. It must be studied as other books are studied in order to be acquired. When its truths are gained in this way it inspires life. Union Township comes very near getting a Banner this time. Five out of her six schools are evergreen which is a very healthy condition but could have been made a little better by putting the' “canned” school into the House Class. Dept, for the winter quarter and in so doing got a Banner. We are sure Township President Blankenbaker would have done, this if he had known it in time. It takes a great deal of visiting to keep in touch with all the schools in the Township but it is noble work. We trust the thirteen (there is luck in thirteen) Township Presidents are doing the very best work they can this year as we want to have every thing in the best possible shape beforo our next state codyention. Dear Presidents don’t fail to see that the statistical report is properly made out by each school and returned to the county Sect’y. They have not yet been sent to the schools. Remember these reports will go to the World’s Sunday School Convention at London, Eng., our own State convention and the International convention at Atlanta, Ga., next winter so you see they are very important. They will be sent to the several schools but if they are not returned promptly you will bo asked to see that they are properly filled out and returned.
