feet that the brewers of Cincinnati, including
Christian Moerlein have resolved to support
Cleveland, and another report excepted Mr..
Moerlein from the list, but made all the other
brewers a unit for the Democratic ticket.
Neither of these statements is correct The
brewers are very guarded in their statements
as to their positions on political questions, for
the reason that their customers belong to both
parties. Their retieence has prompted the
politicians on both sides to undertake to speak
for them, and hence the conflicting and I'M
truthful reports that have gone abroad. Mr..
Moerlein said yesterday that while he did not
care to say any thing about politics, he knew OF
no agreement among brewers to give their
united support to either presidential candidate.
Each one of them would vote at the presidential
election with the party of his choice, and with
out any reference to the action of other mem
bers of the association.

Does This Look Like "Monopoly?"

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
The Democratic national committee, under
direction of Seven mule Barnum, is flooding the
country with documents containing accounts Of
the closing, reduction OF wages, or curtalment
of laborers, engaged in different industries of
the country. The object is to show that protec-
ton does not protect, and consequently, labor is
not benefited thereby. But how is this showing
to be made to consist" with the hourly repeated
lie about 'monopolies" undermining and
assuming control of our government Surely
well-paying "monopolies" would have no
reason for closing doors, and giving over their
effects to- the sheriff, would theyl If this firm

| Speech at Brazil.

Speech at Brazil.
Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Sept 30.-General Lew Wallace spoke
here last night to an audience of about one
thousand people. He first gave Thomas A.
Hendricks theory of distributing the 300 900,
900 in the Treasury among the people thorough
ventilation and showed that it would amount to
nothing less than repudiaticn He showed that
every dollar of the money in the Treasury was
being held for necessary purpose, either to re-
deem gold and silver certificates, to pay soldiers
pensions, or to pay maturing bonds and meet
the accruing interest on the government debt
His treatment of this branch of the subject
thoroughly answered the howl of the Democracy
over the 800, 600 600 in the Treasury The largest
part of his speech was devoted to discussion of
the tariff His argument upon this topic was
exhaustive, and must have convinced all his
hearers that protective tariff is the only means
by which our manufacturing and agricultural
industries can be maintained He showed that
Germany and France and all the leading nations
of Europe, except perhaps England, have estab-
lished the protective system, and that under it
their prosperity had increased to an extent never
before known. The Generals speech was the
richest in argument illustration and infOrma-
ton that we have had during the present cam
paign.

Grover Cleveland and His Family.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
You do Mr.. Cleveland great injustice. Even
your party predictions ought not lead you to
do this. Even your own witness, Mr.. Cleve-
lands brother-in-law, testifes that Mr.. Cleve-
land has charge of his boy. He is not keeping
house now, but the boy is provided for and sent
to school. When Mr.. Cleveland goes to house
keeping next March, in Washington he will
take his boy home and provide for him. Mr.
Cleveland is also taking care of the boys mother
"at a respectable private house." and keeping
her away from wicked and adulterous people.
When he gets to housekeeping next spring he
will take her home, TOO. He can not afford all
this now. You had better advise the people to
vote for him so as to unite this long separated
household. FAIRNESS
