popular subscription ought to be realized
within sixty days from its inception. Let
everybody be asked, not for dollars but for
cents, and let each community see that all its
people are represented, and the needed fund
will be secured without delay. A monument,

gested, would be an honor to the patriotism of
the State because it would represent all the

similar, or even wholly different plan be
adopted, let the enterprise be prosecuted

FARMs-FAOTORTBs-THB TARIFF.

We have heard the story of an Indiana
pioneer who held out his booted foot and said
II carry fifty bushels of wheat on that foot,
and as much on the other. 1t took hundred
bushels of good wheat to pay for these boots"
That was in the old mud-road and flat-boat
days, when transportation was costly and
Slow when the factories were on the seaboard
or across the ocean, and our markets far away
from our farms. Now railroads, with home
made iron or steel rails, give us cheap and fast
freights, factories and iron mills are in our
midst, coal mines are opened, the market is
brought near the farm, goods are cheaper and
farEz products higher, and hundred bushels
of wheat would buy ten pairs of boots instead
of one. Plainly enough it is good for the
farmer to have these mills and factories among
us. AS they increase the farmer thrives.
When they decrease his purse grows lean, and
his soil gets lean, too The best farming is
where there is broad space for the farm and
good spot for factories close by. Here in the
West we have room for both.

prices, in a newspaper of the interior of that

THE PROPOSED SOLDIERS MONUMENT


l.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
If you will examine your files containing the
account of the soldiers reunion, held at Indian
apolis the latter part of 1875, you will discover
that monumental association was organized
and fully Differed for the purpose of building
fitting memorial to the Union soldiers of Indi,
ana. General John Coburn was elected pres-
dent and Captain Brouse secretary. To that
association was donated the balance left from
the reunion fund, 81 100, and it is now in the
hands of the treasurer, Colonel ]. W. Ray. The
association had one meeting, Dec. 8, 1875. and
decided upon plan of work, designed to reach
every soldier and soldiers friend in the State,
and erect a memorial hall at Indianapolis
of the most imposing and permanent character
At subsequent meeting the secretary reported
that he had lost the books containing record.
of the proceedings, and the association has since
been waiting for those books to turn up. About
that time, too there was such widespread COM
mercial distress that it was determined to wait
until the people were better able to respond to
this patriotic call. Before it had been fully re-
solved what further steps to take, the Grand
Army of the Republic at the State encampl
ment resolved to undertake similar work. and
since that the monumental association has done
nothing except to ask the treasurer for state
ment of the condition of its fund General
Streight and Judge Julian, of indianapolis, are
members of the executive committee, and can
give any additional information called for
Unquestionably the work Of buildinga soldiers
monument ought to be entered upon without
further delay and to this end it would be well
for the officers of the monumental association
and the G. A. r., to have meeting previous to
theState eneampment,of the latter next month,
to determine the course to pursue.
