The great bulk of every bushel produced
by the farmer and sold will never leave this
country, and with good wages, the consum-
ers can pay a round price for their bread,
vegetables and meat. If all tariff was re-
moved, and pauper wages only paid to OPP
eratives, thousands would quit the business,
take to farming, cease to be consumers Of
farm products and become the competitors
of the farmer. The demand would cease in
this proportion as they would become sellers
instead of buyers. OF all classes, the farmer
is the most interested in protecting Ameri-
can industry.

Did Democrats Sell themselves?


Indianapolis Saturday Keyiew.
In its most prominent place and with the
blacklist of black type, the Sentinel has been
advertising the fact for a week that Demo-
Gratis sold their votes for So and So. in 1880.
We heard of no Republican vote selling in
that memorable year. We fear, according
to the Sentinel's advertisement, that there
are Democrats, or were in 1880, who should
not be classed among the noblest work of
God. If they sold their votes, it is an indi-
cation, under our rules of civilization, that
they were not honest.

America for Americans.


Fort Wayne Gazette.
The people of this country are Americans
and mean to be Americans for ever more. 1t
is the purpose of America to manufacture
our own goods, or at least that part of our
manufacture hat naturally belongs to us.
Besides these they propose to foster manu-
facture until such time when our people
have acquired the skill and capital to success
fully compete with England, with our pro-
duets in the market OF the world. This is
what hurts, and what the English SO much
dread.

The True Rulers.
Evansville Tribune.

IVdH5FUTg IIIUUHg.
1t is sheer absurdity to talk about the ag-
grandizement and gloriication of the
ruler in this country, where one day a
man who has been unheard OF before is sud-
denly lifted into power, while it may be that
another who has been in, high office for
years is as suddenly pushed to the rear to be
forgotten in a week. The people are the
rulers in this country, and the sooner they
undertake the management of the railroad
and telegraph systems the better.

A Satisfactory Administration.


The country now has the best and purest
administration it ever enjoyed. and the hue
and cry OF official corruption will not win.
The facts and practices of the parties speak
louder than stump harangues by loud
mouthed d~emagogues. The people are too
well informed to be misled b. declamatory as
sertions of venality. Those who are loudest
in condemnation of others are generally

independence of the Republican Press.

DIdLII IteSIsItT.
The indianapolis Sentinel says independ-
ent newspapers are always Republican. The
Sentinel IS right. If you want to find real,
genuine independence among newspaper
men you will nave TO look for it outside OF a
Democratic newspaper office. Doubtless the
editor of the Sentinel spoke from experience
experience that dates back to the last cam
paign, when the party lash compelled de-
pendent Democratic editors to advocate, as
in the saloon and its c~oncomitant vices,
measures utterly repugnant to their per-
sonal sense of moral right. The Republican
newspaper press is too independent to be
forced into the advocacy of any such abhor-
rent and nefarious measures to advance party
interests. Fortunately M such demand ex-
lists. TIL Republican party needs no such
defense.

irving to invalidate the action OF the Police
Jury. Now for the facts and the falsehoods:
First the Police ury met on October Sth and
the matter of more polling places for the 9th
Ward was brought up. The Jury laid the EN-
fire matter on the table for future reference
thinking that the authority to act in the prem
iscs was vested in the returning officer and not
in the Jury. 1t was agreed to confer with Mr..
Kayanaugh On the 9th while was absent by
permission from the sitting of the Jury. it hay
ing found, / presume, authority to act in the
matter without advising me. proceeded to
recommend Mountain Bayou and Thomas Nor
ris' as the additional polling places i'll the 9th
not ment the approval of the voters most inte-
rested l simply asked until my constituents
could be heard on the subject. Hence the card
which seems to have caused so much astOnish-
ment in the mind of Chas. Dossman. admit
the receipt Of Chas DOssman's petition. us he
states T admit said l had no objection to
more polling places. But most emphatically
DENY ever leaving any word with the Jury to
act in my absence. The best evidence of my
entire Willingness to the establishment OF more
polling places in the ward, is given III my vote
favorng the proposed change. without which

not have granted the change. Gentlemen have
