The Indiana Democratic platform is the on
ly declaration of the principles Of the party
in matters of finance which can claim to have
authority, and that it is more than any other
expressive of the purpose of the organization
to cheat the creditors and ruin the credit Of
the nation, we give the following from the
leading Democratic organ of the West, the
Cincinnati Enquirer;
aThe action of the Indiana Democracy bor-
rows significance from this fact 1t is SO com
pletely in the line of the belief OF the great
bulk of the Democratic party that the De-
moeracy of nearly thirty States will echo its
platform almost as involuntarily as the hill
side echoes the song in the moonlight. 1t is
six years and eleven months ago to-day that
the Hon. George II. Pendleton made the first
public annuncation of a financial doctrine al
most identical with that which the Indiana
Democracy declared yesterday. In few
months twenty-six States will have taken up
the theory and fashioned it into a creed,
and the considerations apostle and herald ofthe
doctrine which is now at home in the mouths
of all men can complacently rest in the assur-
ance that the seed was not sown by the way
side, or on stony ground"

Y A recent Philadelphia letter to the Tribune
Is devoted to a description of the American
steamship line and tho manner in which it
has been successfully established While New
York and Boston capitalists were busy de-
monstrating at Washington that no line of
steam vessels could be founded in this coun-
try without government subsidy, the Phila-
delphians went to work and built in their own
city feet of four large and frst-class vess
sells, all Of which are now in service Thus
they have shown that the way to revive
American commerce is just to do it,; to stop
whining and begging and go to work. Moth
ing has occurred during the last fifty years
that has had more beneficial effect upon
Philadelphia interests than the starting OF
this steam line to Liverpool. These are the
only transatlantic steamers which carry the
American flag. For a long time the Now
York journals and merchants ignored them
altogether, but the time has now come when
they chant another tune. Although there is
deep jealousy Of Philadelphia on the sub
ject, there is national feeling that is still
deeper and is proud of this successful exhibit
ton of American enterprise.

We learn from our Western exchanges that
the reports in regard to the devastation by
the grasshoppers of the wheat crop in Minne-
sofa, which have been prevalent throughout
the East are greatly exaggerated and make
the damage much greater than it actually is.
The latest accounts now say that the total
damage done by the grasshoppers' raid is
equivalent to a loss Of about one-twelfth Of
the usual crop, or about the same as if the
average yield throughout the State were di-
minished from any source something over one
and one-half bushels per acre below the gene
raj average. 1t extends over only about-one
tenth of the area Of the State, and involves
about one thirteenth Of the population. The
crops outside the devastated region promise q
most abundant yield. This intelligence is
very gratifying and it is with great pleasure
that we notice the fact, as fears have been
entertained that the whole Of the wheat crop
of Minnesota-whch this year has been i'm
mense-would be destroyed by these insect
pests. Meanwhile the attention of savans
has been turned to the subject Prof. Cyrus
Thomas, of the Smithsonian Institute, says
the choppers" produce one brood which dies,
leaving no germ. Those of Minnesota arc
fellows to the ,devastators of Colorado and
Utah. They breed on the high table lands Of

The news from the grain growing States in
dictate that this is going to be the most pro-
ductlvc year ever known for wheat, and the
St Louis Democrat advises those having on
hand any OF the wheat crop of 1878 to rush
it into market at once, especially If it is of an
inferior grade. In consequence of the great
yield, there is considerable discussion as to
how low prices will fall, and it is said that the
milling season of 1915 will be long remem-
news for the bakers, but whether it will bene-
fit those who are compelled to buy bread, re-
mains to be seen; for, notwithstanding the
price of flour is considerably lower that it
was a few months ago, the size and the price
of the loaves remain the same.

On July list a little boy in Philadelphia,
named Ross, was stolen from his parents.--
While playing with another boy he was invit-
cd to get in carriage and ride. Both boys
got ill., and after going little ways the older
: was given some money and sent to store
near by. As soon as he was gone the parties
in the carriage drove off with the boy named
Ross. Soon after, the police and detectives
were notified, but for several days they could
gain no clue Of his whereabouts, though in
the meantime letter was received from his
Wallpapers. offering to restore the boy in con-
sideration of large sum of money. On
Wednesday last man named Wooster was
arrested by the detectives as one of the parties
who had assisted in kidnapping the boy.

The prospects for business this fall are
now very good. Merchants in the large cities
expect better trade than usual, resulting
from the general hold back Of the last year,
AS yet manufacturers donot show much i'm
provement, but better times appear to be in
store for this kind Of business. The Ledger
reports decided change for the better in the
iron trade, as orders from tire railroad com
panies are coming in freely. When the tide
of business once gets fairly running money
will come into active circulation and no one
need be idle. ~

wooden barrels, and to be able to stand more
rough usage. One of the manufacturers
predicts that in five years every barrel of
Western flour will DO sent East in barrels
made from the straw the wheat grew on.

1t is stated that John I. Blair, the railroad

on hand. The State Of Nebraska has sued
him for $3.50, 600 worth of lands donated 10
the old Northern Nebraska Railroad Company,
tie legality of which grant is denied because
the road was not built within the time pre-

one of great Importance, and if the State wins
it the Sioux City and Pacific road will lose

Preparations are now making to complete
the railroad bridge across the Delaware river
at Morrisyille. The piers were prepared for
the purpose some time ago. At present there
is but a single track, laid on a wooden bridge,
which has to accommodate hundreds of trains

bridge by telegraphic signals, and sometimes
much time is lost. The new bridge will be of
iron, and will carry two tracks at least.
