MAILING CAMPAIGN LIES.
The Indianapolis Journal is out vii
another S1 900 offer as fnllnwS.

VA
The Indianapolis Journal is out with
another 81, 200 offer, as follows:
A letter from Terre Haute, Ind, says
that Mr.. Ed. Miller, an engineer on the
Vandalia railroad, is repeating the state
ment that General Harrison said, during
the labor trouble of 1877, that "if he
Harrison was in power he would put
the men to work at the point of the bay
onet, and if that would not do, he would
shoot them down like hogs" 1t is hard
ly worth while to deny such story as
this; but, inasmuch as Mr.. Miller is Civ
en- as authority for it, we desire to say to
him, or to any other man, woman or
child in the United States, that upon
furnishing proof of such statement
having been made by General Harrison,
at the time mentioned, or at any other
time, $1,000 will be paid in cash by the
Journal. The proof required will be
only such proof as would be accepted by
ordinary prudent business men for the
basis of any transaction involving that
amount of money. Mr.. Miller, if the re-
port be true, can make more money by
hunting up this proof than by retailing
what any man with a thimbleful of
brains must know to be silly, idiOtic
lie.
The letter from which we have quoted
further says: "The ticket Harrison and
Morton) seems to be gaining strength
every day, and the 1000 offer for proof
of only 81 day was enough was a
bomb in the enemy's camp, and they
are just now trying to look in every di-
rection at once, and asking eXcitedly of
one another what it was that hit them"
THE following is taken from the Cler
mont Courier: "The farmers of Cler-
mont county have direct personal in
terest in the tariff question. One of
their largest and; highest-priced pro-
ducts, the most salable and most easily
converted into money product they have,
is tobacco. This the Mills bill damages
more even than wool, lumber or iron.
1t is proposed in all seriousness by that
measure to still retain the revenue tax
upon that product, which, created only
as a stern necessity of war, weighs heay
lily upon the manufacturer, and yet ad- |
nit foreign tobacco from the West In
dies and elsewhere free of duty. In
other words, the Texas cowboy says to |
the Clermont farmers, You must pay
for the privilege of raising tobacco your
selves, but in spirit of international
generosity let the growers of other coUn-
tries come into your rich home markets
and compete with you free of charge"
