INDIANAPOLIS UNION DEPOT.


From two-thirds Of the towns in the state
one may go to indianapolis in the morning,
do several hours shopping or talking politics,
and reach home by reasonable bed time.
No other place is ever mentioned for political
conventions; and even religious, literary
or educational gathering at any other place
than indianapolis is apt to be looked upon as
''side show" Unlike most Of the states,
Indiana's capital is also her commercial
metropolis; and though the Ohio gives her
nearly 400 miles of boundary on navigable
river, it has not yet built up great rival to
indianapolis, though Evansville is good
second. Hence the need for, and pride in,
the new Union depot
The structure is 100 feet wide and near 900
feet long, with fine lunch room, dining room,
ticket offices, main railway Offices, and all
the other belongings of first class union
depot. The annexed cut presents the ex-
terror view; and, as will be seen, it ranks
among the finest depot buildings in the
United States. The main waiting room is
120 feet long, with glass roof sixty feet above
the floor. The cost, including the payment
for the site, is set at 81, 300, 900, which is
shared by the following roads: the jefferson
vile, Madison and Indianapolis; the Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indiana
polls; the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, st. Louis
and Chicago; the Chicago, st. Louis and
Pittsburg, and the Vandala combination.

WHO PAYS THE TAX?
Several Illustrations of the Fact That 1t Is
the Consumer.
Boston Herald

A reader of the Herald, residing in the
Roxbury district, asks us the question
whether it is true that the foreigner pays
the tax which our government exacts upon
goods imported into this country. We
are aware that this statement has been
repeatedly made by those who are defend
ing the present system of eXtravagant pro-
lection, but it is so palpably in contradic-
ton with the everyday experience of
hundreds of thousands of our citizens
that it seems almost a gratuitous work to
expose its falsity.
One instance of the righteousness of
the assertion is shown in the fact that
very large amount of the merchandise
imported from foreign countries is pur-
chased in these countries by American
dealers or manufacturers. For example,
the treasurer of the Arlington mills of
Lawrence, either directly on his own ac-
count or through agents whom he en-
plOys, purchases in London 100000
pounds or more of Australian wool.
He pays for this wool the current
price in the London market, and has it
shipped to this country. Now, it is evident
that the foreign seller OF this wool does not
repay to Treasurer Whitman penny of the
duty that Mr.. Whitman has TO pay to the
government when the wool arrives Mt this
port The Arlington mills pays this duty,
charges it to the cost of manufacture, and
in selling the products of its spindles and
looms, reimburses itself by the increased
price that 1t gets upon its goods. That
is, the consumers of these goods pay everv
cent OF the duty. assuming that the goods
are sold at profit, which is what the
business OF the Arlington mills is carried
on to obtain.
Ii Treasurer Whitman could get the
foreign seller of wool TO pay the duty for
him, he would, no doubt, speedily avail
himself of such money-saving operation.
But, as we have just said, he buys this
wool in the London market, and gets it at
no lower prices than the English wooden
manufacturers pay for what they buy at
the same time. We have taken this
personal illustration for the reason that
concrete examples OF this kind are much
easier to grasp than abstract forms of rea-
soning.
Now for others of thesame class. Messrs.
Jordan, Marsh & Co., Q. L. Hovey & Co.,
r. H. White & Co., Shepard, Norwell &
Co., r. ii. Stearns & Co., and other lead
ing dry goods houses in this city, send
each year anywhere from one to dozen
representatives abroad to purchase the
goods which they believe that their Bos-
ton customers are DESTROYS of using.
Some of these buyers make two or three
trips to Europe each year, ana no lncon-
siderable part OF the patronage of the
transatlantic steamers is made I'D Of the

coCnition of the prison sufferers. To say
it is the fault of the democrats viii not

has never been a determined effort on the
part of the republicans TO bring about this
result Theyare justas negligent about that
as they were about exchanging for US, and

hoodwinked. and is liable, through pred

and that of his children after him. as the
issues are now concerning the future and
not the past.
As friend b ailudes to President Cleve-
land having hired a substitute TO send to
the war, there is no proof that he
did not pay him every dollar he agreed to
pay him. Neither is there proof, nor is il
a fact, that he died in the pOOr-house. The
president is no more to be held response
bic for that than Gen. Harrison, even
though it had been fact. The fact of
him having hired a substitute is certainly
as creditable to him as anything that could
be said of James q. Blaine, who is wor-
SHIPPED by the republican party, and who
was voted for in 1884 by republican sol
diers for president of the United States,
and who to-day is the chief dictator of re-
publican policy; and the only substitute
we hear spoken of for him is a candidate
for president at the present time, and yet
we hear of no republican soldiers COM

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.
The G.. o. z. and the Prisoners OF War
Profession VS.. Practice.

Profession VS.. Practice.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: l thank friend
Bohal of company b, Twenty-second Indi-
ana volunteers, for reminding me of some
facts that sustain me when 1 say that if
the ex-prisoners of war have to complain
of either OF the political parties they
should complain of the republican party.
Nv friend argues that | know it to be
fact that the rebels would not exchange
us till we were so weak from starvation
that one in ten would not live to reach
home. Now. If his political prejudice
does not totally eclipse his memory,
he will recall the factthat there were few
hundred prisoners exchanged ut Ander-
sonville in August, 1864, and the only men
that were exchanged were a few robust,
hearty men, who had been prisoners but a
few DAYS and were able for active service at
once. The fact sustains me when l say
that the republicans seemed TO care moth
ing for us further than for our service, and
as we were physically unable to 90 into
the ranks at once. their sympathies did
not reach us, and it further proves that
the rebels were willing to exchange men
that were able TO meet them in arms at
once. Why did not our commissioners OF
exchange say to them: Hold our strong
men; give us our sick and helpless, that
we may administer to their wants" This
would have been more in keeping with
their professed love for US. But rather than
concede to the rebels the advantage OF ex-
changing strong for weak men. we were
suffered to remain in the dismal den, en-
dure the pangs of starvation, sickness and
death, where no tear of sympathy or hand
of pity was present to soothe the last mo-
ments. And yet twenty-three years have
passed and the republican party has not
so much as recognized the prisoners of
war for this special service by any act Of
congress. Now, this cannot be charged to
the democratic party. The government
was in the hands of the republican party
for a period of twenty years from the
close of the war, and if II had
been so interested in us as it has
been trying to make us think, there would
long since have been O law passed in re-
