The Goodland Herald has a column article on the judgship question purporting to be from a “Grant Twp. Republican.” The article was written right here in Rensselaer we are confident. The ear-marks of its authorship stick out all over it. It is an old, old trick of this same person to try to palm off his jealous and malignant productions as the product of some other person, and of some other place.

No dtcent sensible man could have construed Senator Beveridge’s remarks that caused Bailey’s attack M insulting nor even discourteous. Still lees as an imputation of the Texan bully’s veracity. But now Judge Penfield, in the defense of whose official acts Beveridge caused Bailey’s wrath, hasspoken right out plainly and says in so many words that Bailey said what was not true, and knew it was not true when he aaid it. In other words Bailey lied and knew that he lied. Evidently if Bailey is looking for trouble, Judge Penfield is ready to •ooomodate him with all of it be wants and at any time. But unless Bailey catches Penfield when he is sitting down with his legs under a. desk, as Beveridge was* or ban him at a disadvantage in some other wav there, is nothing to fear, tor bullies like Bailey are generally great cowards, also.

PROSPERITY OF THE INDIANA FARMER

BY EDITOR W. H.

There is no class of people in this country so fortunate and prosperous as the farmers. Since 1896 the value of their layils as well as the products thereof have increased -steadily and rapidly. GapitAleeeklng good, safe investments has beep going into lands. Farmers have been paying off mortgages and making large and splendid improvements. With prospects for large crops and high prices farmers are now in a most happy frame of mind. A few facts and figures at this time will no doubt surprise those who have not given the matter carefn) attention. Let us take as a basis Hamilton county. The figures and facts we present below are taken from the report of the state statistician, from the market reports, and from the statements of the Wainwright Tnist company. All these sources of information are reliable and conservative. Hamilton county has 256,000 acres of land. The officers of the Wainwright Trust company, the largest dealers in real estate in the county, inform us that land values have steadily increased since 1896. They say that a conservative estimate of the average value of the land of the county would be HO an acre in 1896 and SSO an acre in 1902. This is an increase of >lO an acre in six years, or 25 per cent This increase alone adds to the wealth of the farmer of Hamilton county $2,560,000. Hamilton county is richer and better than the average county of the state. But cut the average increase on land down to $2,000,000 per county and we have the enormous sum of $184,000,000. This great Increase in the wealth of the farmers of Indiana is the result of prosperous times, soundness in our finances and in stability of values. In speaking about farm values the president of the Wainwright Trust company said: “We now loan more money on the acre, at a less rate of interest and commission than we did six years ago.” Besides the increase in the value of land the farmers are receiving for their products nearly double what they did six years ago. For illustration let us take the average yield of wheat, corn and oats for the last ten years in Hamilton county, with the price thereof in 1896 and 1902. Also the average number of horses, cattle and hogs during the last sik years, with the prices in 1896 and 1902: ■ 1896 1902 Average Price Amount Price Amount bushel.... 652.918 $~57~ $ 372,163.26~$ ?76 $ 496,217.68 Corn, bu5he12,079,362 Oats, bushel 210,487 .12 25,258.44 .38 79,985.06 Horses, head 9,016 60.00 540,960.00 100.00 901.600.00 Cattle, head 15,209 25.00 380,225.00 40.00 608,360.00 Hogs, head 48,447 6.00 290,682.00 13.00 629,811.00 Totals ' L. $2,025,161.00 $3,880,416.46 In the above figures we have made our estimate on cattle weighing 800 pounds and bogs 200 pounds. In 1896 cattle were worth from 3 to 4% cents and in 1902 they are worth from 4 to 7 cents. Hogs in 1896 sold at 3 cents. They are now worth from 6to 7 cents. These figures, which any farmer will admit are fair and conservative, show that the farmers of Hamilton county are receiving on the six items mentioned above $1,855,255.36 more than they did for the same products in 1896. This is not taking into account other products of the farm, such as sheep, hay, poultry, butter, eggs fruits and vegetables of all kinds. These items would add very largely to the above figures. Taking the 92 counties of the state and allow $1,000,000 as the average increase per county on the value of the six items mentioned above, and we have an annual increase in the wealth of the farmers of the state of $92.000,000. Taking all the products of the farm into consideration, it is safe to say that the farmers of Indiana are receiving annually for such products $125,000,000 more than they did in 1896. As there are 221,897 farms in this state this is an average of $563 to each farm. Look at these figures and decide for yourself if it is not the part of wisdom to keep on letting well enough alone.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS

The Democratic* state convention in Nebraska was persona'l.v conducted by Mr. Bryan. If the colonel had taken the trouble to attend the Indiana convention he would not have had to complain in “The Commoner’’ about a Mammonized platform. The census returns show that dur ing the decade ending with 1899 the number of men employed in manufacturing industries in Indiana increased 41 per cent, which is a great result, but that during the same time the amount paid out in wages in these industries increased 54 per cent, which is a greater one. If the cost per capita of maintaining the wards of the state in the charitable and correctional institutions had been the same in 1901 as it was in 1891, Indiana would tyave paid out $311,353 more than she did last year for this purpose. A vote for Republican legislative candidates is a vote for the continuance of the present era of economy in the management of the state’s business. “Virginius killed his daughter to save her chastity; Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent its return to the paths of virtue. And now, still gloating over his political crimes, he invites the party to return to him and apologize for the contempt which it has expressed for him. Will it? Not until the principles of Jefferson are forgotten and the works of Jackson cease to inspire.”—From William J. Bryan's Lincoln interview of June 22.

The suppression of Bryan sentiment in the Democratic state convention was an easy matter for the reorganizers. but the precincts are now being heard from. H. S. Hoover of Richmond, voices the sentiments of thousands of Indiana Democrats when he saya in a letter to the Indlanapolia News: “The abandonment of a great issue, supported honestly and earnestly by hundreds of thousands of true and loyal Democrats through the state and natibn, deserve* the condemnation of all true Democrats, and such perfidy merits and will receive a terrible chastisement at the hands of the Indiana Democracy this falL” Dr. George Wright of Indianapolis contributes to the same issue of the News a card in which he says: “I would not like to continue in partnership with men who, although in a minority, if they cannot control will do all they can to ruin the business.” . The chances are that the reoqpnizeta will wish they had let the job alone for a while longer.

CRAIG OF THE NOBLESVILLE LEDGER

A DEMOCRATIC HARMONY SYMPOSIUM

"They talk loudly about harmony, but they are willing to disrupt the party unless the party humiliates itself by a surrender of its position.” —The Commoner on the makers of the Indiana platform.

“We reaffirm the Chicago and Kansas City platforms.”—State conventions of the Maine and Mississippi Democracy. "We don’t" —State conventions of the Indiana and Illinois Democracy. The attempts of the Republican press to create the impression that there is a lack of harmony in the Democratic party will have no effect There will continue to be as much harmony as ever.—lndianapolis Sentinel. “The Indiana state convention has met and sounded the note of harmony. It has declared its platform unequivocally and has dropped all past and dead issues and put in new, live wideawake issues to which all Democrats could and ought to subscribe.” — Thomas Taggart at the Tilden dinner. “We have no Criticisms to make of any Democrat in the land. We are neither assuming to make or unmake national platforms at this time. We are excluding no man from the party councils. We have no test oaths to administer to those who join us. We need recruits for our cause and our Democratic doors are thrown wide open.”—David B. Hill at the Tilden dinner.

“If this state of Impairment exists, an instant duty presses upon the manegrs of the Democratic establishment, and one which they cannot evade with honor. Those of less prominence in the party—the rank and file—are longing to be led through old Democratic ways to old Democratic victories. We were never more ready to do enthusiastic battle than now, If we can only be marshaled outside the shadow of predestined defeat Is ,t too much to ask our leaders to avoid pai its that are known to lead to disaster? Is it too much to ask that ' proven errors be abandoned, and that ■ we be delivered from a death and re- ! lleved from the burden of Issues which have been killed by the decrees of the American people? Ought we not be fed upon something better than the husks of defeat? If these questions are met in an honest, manly fashion, I believe it will be productive of the . best kind of Democratic harmony.”— Ex-Preaident Cleveland at Tilden dinner. - ' Pj ' * '
