A NEW POET.


The Journal has had frequent occasion to
call attention to the boundless resources of
the great and growing West Do you speak
of crops? The West gets away with every
thing east of the Alleghenies. Hogs? Our
hogs-of all kinds--lay over all manner of
porkers the world ever saw. Storms? Our
billiards and cyclones are the personal pride
of every Western citizen. He glories in the
fact that our winters are colder and sum-
mers hotter, our billiards. more pene-
trating and cyclones more devastating than
can be found elsewhere in all the known
world. And when it comes to liars. the
genuine Western article towers above others
like Colossus of Rhodes over babe from
the land of Lilliput. We will not be out
done, and that's fact. This has come to be
recognized everywhere and few are bold
enough to dispute the title. In every de-
partment of art, literature and science we
have walked right along with the head OF the
procession. In fact, we have always crowded
the band-wagon of advancement in every
direction, and now an Indianan has actually
climbed into that important vehicle
and toots very large brass
horn in manner that must
command respect for its vigor, if not for
any other virtue. This time it is poet. and
he breaks into very enterprsing contempt
rary to the extent OF nearly four columns.
But the poem is a good one-the paper says
so editorally, and that ought to settle it.
The fact that exactly the same production
word for word-was written number of
years ago by n man named W. w. Story
doesn't spoil its merits. 1t is fully as good
now as it was on February 6, 1878. on which
day it appeared in the Indianapolis Jour
nal, as will be recalled by intelligent
readers. This time it is written by w. B.
Martindale, or at least the paper gives him
the credit of it's authorship, and as
a copyist he has been very faithful, there
being but few grammatical mistakes incor-
nal has considerably been retained. 1t is
our duty to congratulate Mr.. Martindale and
his publisher. Who knows? In years to
come the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy
may be varied by references to the Martin
dae-Story puzzles. If Story would clear
himself. let him do so now. for if he should
happen to die, Indiana expects to walk right
away with his entire outfit. If anybody,
any where-highland or lowand, far or
near-has the plagiaristic bakery concealed
Indiana. It's ours, aud we want it, and
must have it.

bacon about twenty cents. As fair aver
age of wages paid in America may be taken
the following figures from the Commissioner
of Labor Statistics for Ohio giving the
weekly wages in the industries named in
that State:
Carpenters. g. 20 cahinetmakers- .$12 90
Brlckniasons-. u 00lCnopers- -----.--. 90
StoneMasons 80. 1850 Blacksmiths.. 1868
BOotmakers. 1890 f-
From these figures it is apparent that the
cost of living is little if any more in the
United States than in Great Britain, while
the wages paid here are fully twice as large.
But valuable as are these statistics, the
logic of events would prove this conclusion
without the aid of a single figure. The fact
that an army of workmen hundred thou
sand strong annually cross the At
lantic from Europe to America to
better their condition is proof conclu-
sive that the condition of our people is vast
ly preferable to that of any nation in the
world. Whether this happy condition of
affairs shall continue indefinitely depends
largely upon the continuance of the general
features of the system of protection of Ameri-
can labor aV5s -naf
Remove the restrictions Of the tariff en-
tirely, as the free-traders desire, and the
mechanics of America will be obliged to
work for tine same wages paid in Glasgow,
or not work at all, while the cost of living
will remain much as it now is These are
facts that cannot be controverted. The
friend of the working man and of national
prosperity must defend the tariff. 1t is the
American peoples fortress OF strength, and
properly reformed must be kept up to
avert financial disaster and industrial pros
tration.

THE Columbus Republican, discussing the
question of newspaper advertising from
business point of view, well says:
IA frst-class attorney cannot afford to
compete In prices with a shyster who has
spent neither time nor money in preparing
himself Tor the profession; no more can a
first-class paper compete in prices with
second or third-class paper, and if it does, it
will soon cease to be first class When
paper has great influence, either on ac-
count of its high character or large circula-
ton, it is entitled 10 the benefit of that IN
fiuence. and patrons are not swindled when
they are required to pay more for the assist
ance of such a paper, than for one of less
value"
