slavery for the pleasure and wealth OF our
and heartless rulers?
But mystic and fearful as tbs terrible
interrogatory is, 1t may, We, think, be
answered, and we would say to the
people the key that un.ocks the door of
relief is in your own bands. You are re-
sponsible yourselves for all this confusion.
The dead dog lies at your own door. and If
you like the SMELL you can keep him there.
Just continue to vote to keep the same men
in office who have by their administration
brought all these evils upon the country,
and you may rest assured that the cloud of
financial death will still hang over you, and
you will then be enabled to go on commit
ting suicide and the like to escape disgrace
and the infamy of bankruptcy and poverty
until you are all numbered with the dead In
their graves. TIE choice is yours and the
power is in your hands, and if you allow
yourselves to be Indifferent or permit a set
of party cormorants to lead you to the polls
and vote you like sheep driven to the
slaughter, then be content to abide in your
lot without word of complaint or whis-
per of corruption or of presumed wrongs.
Nothing is more true than the fact that
the American people are the guardians of
their own rights and liberties, and if they
neglect them or leave them 10 be cared for
by the rich tricksters, by the would be finan-
cial rulers of the country, or by the selfish
and corrupt seekers after official places the
hot curses of q low and serviIe citizenship
will be their only national patrimony. Every
citizen has vote, and every good citizen
can WELD an influence that will help to save
the country by placing good men in Office,
and since the party that has been In power
for the last sixteen years have had ample
time to demonstrate its governing power,
and has failed to an extent that has well
nigh ruined the country, let some new sys-
tenn be inaugurated and mother class of our
countrymen be permitted to take the helm
OF affairs, and ii may be that the old order Of
national prosperity will be restored again.
Already we think the light is breaking
redeemed again. We see that the clouds are
clearing away and the sky over us is
becoming suspicious. The Lord will
not be angry with us forever. He will not
leave us to perish in the hands of miser-
able set of financial vampires, or give us away
to the worse delinquency of moral degen-
eracy that would end in our national ruin
God forbid that we as people should for
get to be honest and truthful as well as pa
triotic, and if the last two decades have been
years of confusion, years of fanaticIsm and
unhappy experiments in our national affairs,
let the coming future show that we are
capable OF "the sober second thought" the
high resolve, to be that people whose God is

full of brains. The journal has been
crazy as loon for long time past.
Its views upon finance impressed large
number of its ftiends in Indiana, that 50 far
as it had sny influence at all, it was dan
gerous sheet. That it was subsidized was
generally believed, and now that the facts
have come to the surface, doubts disappear,
and the milk in the coaconut is accounted
foF
The figures published by the Massachusetts,
bureau of statistics were cooked for the oc-
cssion. They are not worth a cent as show
ing the condition of the laboring people in
Massachusetts,, and 20 as a basis
for calculating the number Of
idle people in the country, more
contemplate cheat was never palmed of.
The radical rascals who are running the rad
ical machinery saw very distictly that
something must be done to counteract the
wide spread labor movement and they at
once hit upon the scheme of showing that
there are no labor troubles of any magni-
tude. Massachusetts,, being radical Shy
lock state, and its officials radical
Shylocks, offered the best field for figures
to suit the campaign, and to
help the radical party 70 retain power,
and as a result OF guessing and lying predi-
Gated upon a canvass that was never made
in any proper sense, we are told that about
100000 people are out Of employment in this
country. The Journal, in the largeness OF
its capacity to view the effects of national
calamity, first came 10 the conclusion that
''there were not to exceed about half mill
lion of persons in the country out of work
who desired work" But Mr.. Voorhees,
paid no attention to the Journals
estimates, and now comes the Mas.
sachusetts statistical bureau with figures
which seem to have been gathered up by the
Journal man, SO nearly do they agree. But
| it so happens that two frauds do not constr
tute an honest transaction, and hence the
Journals estimate and the Massachusetts
! guess work are having precious little effect
upon the minds of the people. The
statement that there are 100000 people
out of employment in this country has been
regarded by prudent men whose opinions
are of recognized value, as below rather than
above the real number. Senator Voorhees,
is not likely, as ne discusses the great cues.
1 tons, finance and industries, to take his
figures from the Journal. In no instance
has Shylock organ ever told the truth
when discussing the effects of the policy of
the radical party upon the business of the
country, and as consequence their utter
ances are very generally discredited.

of values forced into bankruptcy. 1t saw
the hundreds of men in its own state bereft
of their business and of their property fail
ing and going out into the world poor.
Still it urged on the damnable policy of the
Shylocks until Indiana has suffered
in recorded failures more than see, o0o, 600, or
nearly $500, 900 for each county in the state
and for the whole country nearly 81, 000,-
600, 900. While this terrible havoc has been
going forward, Judge Martindale's paper adj
vocated the policy that brought it about, and
even now, in its unalloyed lunacy, seeks to
injure the bold and defiant Voorhees,, who
did everything in his power to arrest
the widespread devastation. Notwith-
standing all this we must dissent
from the apparently unkind thrust of the
Toledo Bee sting. The financial curses that
the radical party has set adrift in the coun-
try. and which the Journal has advocated,
have not inflicted upon their victims poetic
Justice nor any other sort of justice, and
IN Judge Martindales case we are inclined
TO let down the veil rather than lift it up.
for we are of the opinion that the distin-
guished radical journalist has been out Of
his head all the time.

public mind to maintain democratic ma
jority in the house. In the Forty-t.hird con-
gross the radical party had fly members,
counting one for Louisiana, and the demo-
Gratis but twenty-three members. while. in
the Forty-sixth congress, coneeding the largest
estimates made by their most intelligent or
gans, the radical party can have but thirty
four members, while the democrats will
have forfy-four. In the Forty-third con-
gress the radical members were equal to
twenty-five states, while the democratic vote
represented but eleven. In the Forty-sixth
congress the democratic vote will represent
TWENTY-FIVE states and the radical vote but
seventeen states. These facts show
the drift of the great public
mind; they indicate the pulse beats
of the great public heart; they tell
in notes that ring out clear as bugle blasts,
that the people are tired of radical misrule,
ana they point unerringly to the fact that
the next house of representatives, like the
present, will be democratic, and that the
grand work Of reform will go forward un-
checked by radical senate.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-08-28
A SPECIMEN OF THE WHOLE.

One day last week the Journal nearly
burst itself in an assault on what il is
pleased to call Mr.. Voorhees, record for
twenty years past. The effort has fallen still
born, and we are not disposed to assist in
giving life to it. AS specimen. however, of
the lying capacities of the writer it is only
necessary to go as far as the threshhold of the
article. He states that Mr.. Voorhees, first
appeared prominently in state politics in the
democratic state convention of January,
1858, as supporter of the Lecompton constr
tuition, and winds up on that point by say
ing:
He, as well Is his pet pro-slayery constltu-
ton, were beaten in that year, 1888. IL was
his first race for congress.
Mr.. Voorhees, was not a candidate that
year nor the next year. He was, however, a
candidate in 1860 a supporter of Douglas
for the presidency, and beat Colonel Thomas
H. Nelson LOIS votes, with boiling Breck
inridge candidate in the field, who received
nearly four hundred votes.
What credit is due to the statements OF a
writer who commences his work with such
brazen lying as this? II is specimen of all
that follows, and there is nothing in the
whole TRADE which can not be exploded as.
easily as this great big opening falsehood.
