An Organ of Sharks.

The National Tribune, which is pro-
fessedly published in the interest OF the
old soldiers, but is really the organ OF a
ring which robs the government with one
hand, and plumbers the unfortunate ap-
plicants for pensions with the other, has
been literally circulated in this state by
the republican committees since the cam
paign opened. Its attacks upon CLEvE-
LAND and MATsoN have been especially
bitter. and its columns have been filled
with all kinds of campaign ISLANDERS. We
have received number of letters from old
soldiers denouncing this vile sheet, which
we would be glad TO print if we had the
space for them. We warn the old soldiers
OF Indiana to be on their guard against
the Tribune. 1t is down on President
CLEVELAND and the pension bureau be-
cause they have defeated many of the
swindles attempted by the sharks whom
it represents, and have interfered with
many of their attempted impositions upon
old soldiers who have fallen into their
clutches. And it is getting a good deal OF
money out of the republican campaign
fund, besides. The motives OF the
National Tribune, therefore, is plain, and
we caution the old soldiers of Indiana
against being deceived by its villainous
falsehoods.
Hurrah for those brave soldiers, JOHN
c. BLACK, Col. MATsoN and Capt. MYERS,
than whom the Union veterans never had
stancher friends.

How Hardy Was Recaptured.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-ISpecial. i'm Fri
days Journal is a special asserting as lie the
fact that Col Hardy had announced himself
for Cleveland and reform Now the facts are
these: Col. Hardy Thursday morning
came 10 the leading democratic
politicians of this city and in
formed them that he was at their service, and
that he had permanently renounced Harrison
and high protection" file further said:
Cleveland IS better president than Harrison
can be-" In an interview with a correspond
ent of the Chicago Times he said his change
sincere and permanent, but expected the
republicans would ''rawhide" him, and there
fore, he asked the democrats to stand by him.
When told by the Times correspondent that
his statement would be telegraphed TO the vari-
Gus newspapers OF the country, he replied that
he knew it, and desired it to be done.
The republicans, however, kept close watch
and finally John l.. Griffiths, who was then in
town, with few local politicians, succeeded in
bringing Hardy into an old saloon REPUBLICAN
free whisky headquartersj and there by some
means-"fair or foul"-forced him TO put his
signature to the card published in the G0zcfte,
DENYING that he ever had any intention of be-
coming a democrat. These are the undeniable
facts. Nor was there any bluff on his part but
the force of domestic as well a. political, cir
cumstances brought him back into the republic
an mound.

The average amount paid to each hand
in 1850 was $40 40; in 1860. S2SS.90; in
1870, $3.50; in 1880, S346.9O. A part of
the apparent increase between 1860 and
1870, and of the apparent decrease be-
tween 1870 and 1850 was fictitious, because
values in 1870 were expressed in depre-
ciated currency, and in 1860 and in 1880
were expressed in coin. As will be seen,
the increase in average wages from 1850
10 1860 low tariff was l5.S per cent,
while during the twenty years, from 1860
TO 1880, twenty years OF high tariff, the
increase was only II per cent In other
words, the increase was almost as great
during the ten years OF low tariff as dur
ing the twenty years of high tariff, not
withstanding the great progress made
during the latter period in the use OF labor
eaving machinery and the discovery and
utilization of valuable natural resources.
All the facts and figures in our census
reports, bearing upon this subject, show
that low tariffs are in the interest Of wage
workers, and that high tariffs are detri-
mental TO them.

Union City, Ind, Oct. "A, 1888.
Cutting the Farmers Throat.


Some time since the Daily NeaUs charged that
our protected agricultural implement makers
were selling their best reapers and binders in
the British colonies and other foreign countries
at $50 less than they are selling them to our
American farmers, while by so doing they are
placing in the hands OF foreign farmers the
means of competing with the American mar
kets of the world at an enormously less cost.
Now comes |, ). Congressman Hatch,
chairman of the committee on agriculture of the
lower house of congress, in a speech at the great
Granger fair in Pennsylvania, claiming that
plOws are manufactured in this country and
sold cheaper in Canada than in the United
states, even with the So per cent ad valorem
duty of the dominion government added.
Is it possible that, in the face of such facts as
these, our farmers can still be made to believe
that they are not robbed by the tariff, which
compels them to sell their products at the mar
ket prices OF the world, and at the same time
eompels them to buy what they consume at
prices artiicially advanced in the interest of
men who are helping to undermine their ability
to compete in said worlds markets?

Annihilating a MultifOrm Disease.

MissmatIc, malarial, disease has many forms.
Physicians have for the sake of convenience and for
the purpose Of indicating its most strongly marked
FORMS subdivided it into intermittent and bilious
remittent fever, dumb ague and agUe cake. But il
presents infinite variety Of symptoms in different
individuals Pc these symptoms what they will,
always remember that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will annihilate them at the outset and prevent their
recurrence 4 review Of the proofs would convince
anyone OF the fact. This however is impossible be-
cause they are too numerous, and unnecessary be-
cause the effects of this grand entimaaria specific
are a matter of common knowledge. No less familiar

than in England. This proves conclu-
siveIy that it is not our high tariff that is
responsible for the better wages here than
in England. Wages have always been
much higher in this country than IN the
overpopuiated countries of Europe, with
their land monopolies, their great stand
ing armies, their established churches,
their burdens of royalty and nobility, and
their ignorant and stolid working classes.
made so by centuries of despotlsm. Wages
are higher in new and thinly settled
countries all the world over than in old
and densely peopled countries-always
have been and always will be. They
average higher in Australia and certain
parts OF South America than in the United
States. In England they have nearly
doubled since free trade was established.
In this country they increased more rap
idly during the ten years, $4,000. under
a revenue tariff than during any other de-
cade in our history.
AS to the 'table from the census reports
showing an advance of 40 per cent. in the
wages in protected industries since 1860"
it is enough to say that the census re-
ports contain no such table. The Eaton
editor got his transformation from some
lying campaign document. The census
reports make no distinction between the
protected and the unprotected industries.
The reports for the last few censuses
show the number OF hands employed in
manufacturing industries and the total
amount paid them in wages in the census

KoKoMo, Oct. 29.-[Special This has been
the biggest day Kokomo ever knew. 1t was
the final grand democratic rally of the cam

ever yet held in Howard county. Even repub-

10000, ana democrats are astonished at the
phenomenal success of their efforts for a grand
roundup, while republicans stood against at
the crowds that assembled from every direction
and frequently asked in amazement, where
do they all come from?" The forenoon parade
was three miles in length and included scores
of big wagons drawn by six and eight-horse
teams, and loaded with ladies, bands and
glee-clubs. The acres of democrats were adj
dressed in the afternoon by Senator Voorhees,,
who always attracts the people in great num-

mented by delegation from Peru eight coach
loads, and another from LOganspOrt and Wal
ton of thirteen coaches, bearing twelve hun
bred enthusiastic democrats, who were accom-
panied by three drum corps and two brass
bands. Capt. w. r. Myers and John W. Kern
addressed the night audiences. While the
courthouse and opera-house were packed to
suffOcatOn, the streets were filled for many
blocks in every direction with surging masses
of shouting humanity. In every way it has
been the most satisfactory gathering of the
democracy in the history of the county. Next
Saturday the republicans will have their grand
blowout, and they are apprehensive of failing
to come up to the meeting of to-day.
