A CAMPAIGN OF LYING.

The Democratic campaign in Indiana is fast
becoming one of unadulterated lying. The
policy seems to be to coin lies faster than they
can be denied or exposed, and, by putting out
a great number, trust to some having an eff
feet. We do not think it will succeed. An
occasional lie ingeniously dovetailed
with the truth might be foated
several months, but a campaign
based wholly or even largely on lies will in
evitably break down. Their very number
defeats their purpose. Men of average hon.
esty and common sense see through the
game, and conclude it is a bad cause that re-
quires such support. Besides, men hate to
be lied about, and are apt to resent it as q
personal insult. Many a man has been
changed from a quiet and conservative citizen
into an active and determined partisan simply
by being lied about. The Sentiners attack
on the Clay county delegation is a case in
point. A little reflection would have shown
it that the significance and effect Of the
miners visit could not be weakened by lying
about it. disappearing the numbers
did not change them. Asserting that the
miners were paid, or otherwise induced to
come here, did not make it so, and was very
easy to disprove. Saying that one-half of
them were drunk and the other
half for Cleyeland was a palpa-
BILE falsehood, and, like the other,
easily refuted. Statements Of that kind
could not alter the real facts of the case, and
were sure to make the Clay county people
mad, aud thus react. That it had precisely
that effect was shown by the card in yester-
days Journal, signed by about four hundred
and fifty of the Clay county visitors, in which
they characterized the SentinePs statements
as .'willful and deliberate fslsehoods." and a
reflection on their personal intelligence, So
briefly, integrity and patriotism. They were
Justly angry, and, of course, are now more
jealous Republicans than ever. We think a
good many of the lies now being circulated
by the Democrats will have a similar effect.
One of a different kind, but not less stupid
and malicious, appeared in the Sentinel of
Monday as a special from Logansport. 1t
read as follows:

THE SENTINEL AND THE MINERS.
Further Answers to the Slurs of the Demo.
Gratis Against the Clay County Miners.

TO the Editor OF the indianapolis Journaa.
There are several statements in the Indian.
apolis Sentinel of July q which 1 would like te
correct.
1t says. mot 20 per cent of those who par
t~icipated were miners" There were more than
80 per cent. miners, as any man who is acquaint
ed with Clay county miners will admit. The
Sentinel continues: "And rot 10 per cent of
the miners came of their own volition." or
whose volition did they comet This is an insult
to every miner In Clay county, TO inslnuate that
he Is not his own man, and is a barefaced false
hood. Again it SAYS that our expenses were
paid. This is another lie. Il further says that
"all the men that could be induced to come to
indianapolis were credited with their time"
which is lie No. 4 Any man with the least re-
epect Tor truth would not make any such state
ment.
On the question of wages the Sentinel says
The Clay county miners are paid 80 cents pes
ton for mining coal" The facts are that the
miners are paid as high as 81. % per ton, and nc
coal is mined for less than So cents per ton.
Here is another blunder. and shows the unrelia-
blity OF the Sentinel. even in ordinary affairs.
But IL Is unnecessary TO contradict its state
mente further. They carry with them their
own refutation. One thing the article has done.
and that is 70 aid the very cause tina, the Sen.
tinel has sought to injure. We solicit another
article OF the same sort P. H. PENNA,

. miner, and there IS 20 body OF men in this
country moro noted for sobriety. frugality, intel
ligence and patriotism than they are; yet the
indianapolis Sentinel Indignantly and u~njusti-
fably represents us as inebriates, unfit to pay
our respects to General Harrison. The Senti-
mel, OF course, willfully lies, as everybody knows.
No men are soberer. more benevolent or more
loyal to their country than miners Then why
does the Sentinel speak Of us as il doesl Is il
because a large majority of US are not il favor
of the doctrine of free trade. but are in favor OF
protection. and will support representatives Of
that party which made this government the
freest and most oeDefcent that the world has
ever scent 1t seems that that is the true reason.

The Drift Against Cleveland.

1u0 DTlIt Against OleVeIauu-
The New York correspondent of the Wash
ington I'd. c. Gazette says:
1.-THE Democratic revolt against Cleveland and
free trade is not confined to cities and manu-
featuring centers. 1t extends throughout the
farming districts as we'll. The r~allyine cry is
protection. 1t is heard in the stores and in the
streets in villages. 1t is heard at the cross.
roads and in the valleys. 1t is echoed among
the hills. Wherever two or three farmers chance
to meet the issues OF the campaign are discussed.
Interest centers on the vital issue-protection
against free trade-and the result is a declara-
tion all along the line against the Cleveland
Mills free-trade programme. 1t is conceded that
free trade would be disastrous to the agriculture
al as well as the manufacturing interests of the
country.
These facts are as patent to the farmer as
is not behind the latter in apprehending the
situation.
For example, take just one county. that Of
Rensselaer,, In which is situated the large and
important city of Troy. In the farming country
east Of that city protection runs high. In the
termination to vote for Harrison and Morton are
found men who have been leaders Of their
party in their respective towns. and have repre-
sented their constituents in the board of SUPER
visors of Rensselaer, county. Several Of them
are known as Democratic warehouses;, because Of
their popularity in the party. and their success
In local political contests.

Gratis of New York who have left their party on
account of its free-trade heresies that, it is, said,
the leaders Of that party have got badly scared,
and are doing their best to ~conjure up some plan
that may arrest the tide. For if it continues
they will have to confess, even in their speeches.,
that New York is hopelessly Lost to them; even
without the extra help of any such presidential
amusements as knitting a Governor"

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Please state the origin and object of the Cob

MARSHALL, Ind, July 80.
The Golden Club is q society which has its
headquarters in London, and is composed prin-
cipally of British n~oblemen, members Of Parlia-
ment and manufacturers, including also some
forty or fifty Americans. The club WAS formed
in 1866. Its object is to disseminate the theory
and practice of free trade. In other words. it is
a free-trade club. None but pronounced free
traders are admitted to membership. It's re-
port for 1887 says: There are champions Of free
trade in all parts Of the British empire, and in
most of the countries of the world. whose in
terest, zeal and enthusiasm in the cause are due
in a large degree to the work and the teaching
Of the Golden Club" The club works in this
country by disseminating free-trade literature,
by contributing money to influence elections,
by offering prize medals in American colleges
for free trade essays, etc. Mr.. Cleveland's
name does not appear in the list of members,
though that Of Speaker Carlisle does, also those

THE Sentinel is having uphill work trying
to prove that the Mills bill does not favor free
trade. As a matter of fact the Mills bill de-
clares for:
Free trade in lumber, which we produce to
the value of $500, 900, 900 annually.
Free trade in wool. of which we produce
over 300. 000, 600 pounds annually.
Free trade in salt, of which we produce
nearly 40, GOO, 600 bushels annually.
Free trade in flax, hemp, jute and other
fbers.
Free trade in cement, potash, lime and
brick.
Free trade in meats, game and poultry.
Free trade in vegetables, peas and beans.
Free trade in stone.
Free trade in nearly one hundred other ar
ticles produced in this country, most of which
would be produced in sufficient quantities for
home consumption if properly protected.
This is a pretty good start towards destroy
ing American industries and surrendering the
American market to foreigners.

The Chicago Herald quotes this remark of
General Harrison:
ri am one of those uninstructed political
economists that have an impression that SOM
things may be too cheap; that cannot find
myself in full sympathy with this demand for
cheaper coats, which seems to me necessarily
to involve a cheaper man and woman under

And says editorially:
."It is very likely that General Harrison did
not intend to make a harsh remark, and that
he simply expressed his Indifference 20 poor
