The democrats of Franklin township v/||| hold their primary for the nomination of candidates for trustee and assessor on September 22. 2!M John IliaAYPKM, t'hainnan. The democratic party is the people’s party. Overstreet has not yet accepted Congressman Cooper’s challenge and he will not. The Clay City Sentinel says the democratic ticket will win in Clay county with ease. The people of Indiana are proud of every law placed on the statute books by the democratic party. Read the supplement which goes with this issue of the Democrat and then hand it to your republican neigh-

bor.

this edition the Democrat issues a supplement containing Congressman Cooper’s great speech on Labor day at Columbus, the opening gun of Hon. Franklin MaeVeagh, democratic candidate for United States senator from Illinois, and the ringing platform adopted by the democrats of Indiana. They are worthy of careful perusal and should be preserved for reference during the campaign. 77//: St’GAR TAX IX A FKII WORDS. The McKinley bill gives a protection of half a cent a pound to the sugar trust on refined sugar, and gives the trust free raw sugar. The only opposition which the trust had in having a complete monopoly over all the sugar | used in the United States was in what was produced in this country. The total amount of sugar imported into the United States during the last fiscal year, ending July 1, 1893, under the McKinley bill, was valued at $109,817,948.14, and the total duty paid was ♦193,294.48. The advantage of the McKinley bill to the trust over and above that of the Senate bill is 28 per cent. The McKinley bill fed the trust directly; it gave it free raw sugar and and an absolute control over all the sugar consumed in tiie United States, excepting only what was produced from beets and maple trees, and such as was prepared for consumption from the canes of Louisi-

ana.

The revenue difference between the two bills is this: The McKinley sugar schedule brought less than 1200,000 into the treasury, and took out in the last year $9,375,130, which, of course, was collected from other industries and paid to the sugar industry. The Senate bill, it is estimated, will bring to the treasury $43,478,957. Add to this the amount now paid in bounties, $9,375,130, and it makes 162,854,087.67, which is saved to the national treasury, and not for the sugar trust; and this relieves other industries from just that amount of tax. offxixg ror arxs.

In the light of the popular verdict against tariff robbery, he thus proclaimed himself a veritable Bourbon who learns nothing and forgets what

little he ever knew.

Mr. Overstreet followed in a like strain- ndeed, we but reproduce his endorsement of the speech of his predecessor when he said “them’s my sentiments.” Mr. Overstreet’s oratory partakes of the sophomorical, hut the young man will doubtless succeed in adapting himself to the popular comprehension before he emerges from the canvass. Both speeches abounded in dry husks, and as “keynotes of the campaign” were regarded as signal failures. There was no allusion to the silver question, or the arbitration question, or modern know-nothingism, or the election of United States Senators by the people, nor were State issues even touched upon. But for Tom Moore’s efforts as chief claquer and bottle-washer, the demonstration would not have created a ripple of political enthusiasm or popular signi-

ficance.

The above slalement, which the B-l prints as an official proclamation by the reunion com niittee. is an insult to every democrat who is a member of a G. A. R. post.

it in the science of political economy, or the relation it sustains to molecules. It is hoped that Mr. Overstreet’s health will not result in his retirement from the canvass, in which event the molecule issue, like the republican boom, will “die a-bornin’.” Since Overstreet spoke here our residents have ceased wondering why he did not accept Cooper’s challenge for a joint discussion. He couldn’t stand before the Little Giant live

minutes.

Vote with the party that repealed the federal election laws. Judges Wood and Baker will not manage the election in Indiana this year, and Dudleyism will be handled without gloves in the state courts. In an interview at Indianapolis this week Congressman Cooper stated he was confident he would be re-elected by a larger majority than in 1892. He was also anxious for Mr. Overstreet to accept his challenge for a series of joint discussions. It is difficult to make even a dent in j the armor of the great trusts after they have been fostered and clothed in bullel-proof garments by thirty years of vicious republican legislation. But the Chinese wall of high protection has at last been rammed and next time we’ll walk through the breach with banners flying. Elsewhere we print in a brief form some facts relating to the sugar tax. They expose the falsity of the cry of the republican calamity shrieker who whines about “the demmycratic at-
