YOUR CANDIDATE CANNOT BE.

Mr.. Charles A. munson Declines to be q
Candidate for State Auditor.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: / take this method
OF informing nay many democratic friends
that am not a candidate for auditor of
state. am compelled to decline on &C
count of purely business reasons. My
partner in business expects TO be away a
portion OF the year for the purpose of re-
gaining his health. His absence will re-
quire me to devote my entire personal
attention to the management of our trade.
Within the last three months have an
ticipated such a contingency arising, and
have so stated to all of the former candi-
dates on the state ticket, TO most OF the
members OF the state central committee,
ana many OF the leading democrats Of
Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and elsewhere.
1t is gratifying to me to know that
since the election OF 1886 l have
not met with, or heard from, democrat
within the confines of the state, who has
not offered me his cordial support, to all
OF whom tender nv most heartfelt thanks.
feel assured, beyond the slightest doubt,
that Indiana will give Cleveland her elec-
toral vote, and the democratic state ticket
be elected by q large..majority. To accom-.
plish 80 desirable a result, / propose, as
usual to do my utmost in the coming cam
paign, in order that Allen county shall roll
up her old time majority OF 1000 for Cleve-
land and the democratic ticket and thus
assure the continuance of an honest adj
minlstrati0n Of public affairs for the peo-
pie. Respectfully,

A FOOL AND HIS FOLLY:

We printed the other day letter from
Fort Wayne, relating how an extensive
wagon manufacturer of that city was con-
verted from protectienism by his exper-
fence in trying to sell wagons in Mexico.
He found splendid field for his goods in
that country. AS our correspondent put
it "the demand was good and the price
magnificent, and he was about to start
thriving trade" when he discovered that
the Mexican tariff prevented him from
selling his wagons to Mexicans, or the
Mexicans from buying them. He con.
cluded, very naturally, that a protective
tariff was a humbug and strsightway
abandoned the republican party, became
a democrat, voted for Cleveland, and has
ever since.
Now comes some scribbler in Fort
Wayne, calling himself American"
who expresses amazement that The SEN
TrNEL should have printed the story of the
wsgon-msn's conversion. For" this
sapient person says, "a glance will show
that 1t proves the very reverse OF what is
intended to be shown"
So, so! Softly Our wagon msnufact.
urer, who had supposed himself "pro-
tected" by the tariff, found that the home
market for his goods had failed him. He
had facilities for making a good many
more wagons than he could sell in the
United States. The supply was greater
than the demand, or, to put 1t more accu-
rately, it had outrun the purchasing power
of consumers. Tens Of thousands Of Amer
lean farmers needed new wagons, but
were unable to buy them, because
their earnings had been confscated by the
protected monopolies. So our manufact-
urer cast his eye about for an outlet for
his wagons. He found one in Mexico.
There was q country contiguous.to ours,
practically without wagons. The farmers
needed them by the thousand, and were
able to pay well for them. But their
government said, by Its tariff laws, that
they should not buy them, except under 8
ruinous penalty. By the same token it
said to the enterprising American manu-
facturer that he would not be permitted
to supply their needs.
Here was an illustration of the practical
workings of protection which could not
fail to open the eyes of an intelligent man
to its folly. The Fort Wayne gentleman
took in the situation. He saw
that protection had not made MexS
ico rich or prosperous or cen
tented that it had not secured
good wages for Mexican laborers, had not
built up the industries of the country; had,
in fact, done nothing for it except to de-
prive it OF those things it most needed to
promote its growth aud development, A
man who, after such an object lesson as
this, could retain his faith in the policy of
protection, must be either phenomenally
stupid or preternaturally blgoted. The
Fort Wayne manufacturer, being neither q
fool nor bigot, was disillusioned at once.
We have no doubt that il American
had had a like experience he would have
pro6ted nothing from it. Some people are
built that way

legislation. When, Ga ia the case now,

ton of the most unjust and vicious kind.
That this policy thus permits one private
citizen to invade the rights OF another,
should of itself condemn it in the eyes Of
all fair.minded men. Protection would
no longer be living issue but for one res-
son: The fallacies, sophisms and half
truths Of its expounders confuse and
obscure subject really clear. When peo-
pie understand that trade between nations
in no way,differs from trade between indi-
viduals. we shall have heard the last Of
this immoral and psrnicious dogma.

down to bottom rock to find the true de-
posit. Hence, the indolent man, the SUI
perfcial, the artificial man, was spoken Of
as surface washer" Such a man In
pain gives one or two superficial rubbings
with the pain cure, actually too indifferent
to bring about its true effects by friction
creating warmth. He simply washes the
surface, and if a miracle is not performed
by curing him at once, he believes there is
no virtue in the preparation. II he only
knew that chronic and crippled cases have
been cured permanently after forty, thirty,
twenty years ofsufering, he would, perhaps,
as these patients have done, give it an intel
hgent and patient trial But he is sur
face washer" and what he says about it is
superficial nonsense Not so with the
earnest man, who earnestly seeks prompt
relief and certain cure he acts according
to the directions. For instance: Two
years ago Mr.. John OFT, ST., of st. Boniface,
Cambria county, Pa, was afflicted with in
hammatory rheumatism in acute form, and
was permanently cured as he testifes in
the following: "St. BOniface, February IL,
1SS7.-1 herewith express my kindest re-
CARDS to your remedy for its great healing
qualities. Two years ago l was taken to
bed with infammatory rheumatism, and
got so bad that one of my legs was par
alyzed and swelled up as thick as a bag,
burning and paining learfully. 1 could
not get out of bed, nor could move my
leg or let any one touch it for all the pleas
ures of the world. My son advised me
to apply your st. Jacobs Oil, and after two
applications was able to walk. used half
q bottle, and have not felt rheumatism
since. In my estimation gold will not
compare with it, 1 am ready to testify
take OATH to the above at any time if
desired" Mr.. OFT was certainly no super
fetal manipulation with so valued rem
edy. He experienced all the pleasures of
the world in his prompt and permanent
cure; and to such patient who followed
directions strictly, and was relieved Of
torture, gold will truly not compare with
his estimation of its benefcence.

Great Is humbug.

The republican members OF congress
have been parslyzed by the receipt Of cir
cular from some unknown source in which
the following questions are propounded:
l. Are you in favor of Roscoe CoEKLGxe
returning to his old place as the leader of
the republican party? II so, please give
your reasons therefor; and il not, your
reason for your opposition.
, DO you not think that under the
leadership OF Roscoe CoEKLIEG the repnb-
licaD party would be more certain of sue
cess at the next presidential election2 In
giving the answer, please state reasons as
fully as possible.
3 Would you favor Roscoe CoNKLING as
the republican candidate for the presi-
dency at the next presidential election?
4. What candidate would you suggest
that would make q more enthusiastic cam
paign or be more likely to succeed?
Very few members, it is said, have an
swered these circulars. They have, how
ever, made good deal OF talk, f" the gen.
ersl drift of which is not favorable to Mr..
CoHKLING's resumption of leadership. The
republican party might, however, do worse
and undoubtedly will-than to put Roscoe
CONKLIEG at the head OF its ticket this year.
OF course he could not beat CLEVELAND, but
he would lend dignity and character to the
republican campaign which ii is not going
to have under the leadership of any of the
men now prominently mentioned. CoNK-
LING, with all his faults, is far better than
his party, and as for brains he has more
than any half-dozen other republican states
men that could be named, all put together.

MONUMENT MATTERS.

A Chicago Architect Endorses the Commits
sioners' Oourse-Ths Circle Park Trees.
Mr.. Frederick Baumann, prominent
architect Of Chicago, has been in the city
since Friday in consultation with Architect
Schmitz, of the soldiers monument, re-
gsrding the plans and specifications OF the
work. Mr.. Bsumann was invited by the
commissioners to submit 9 plan for the
proposed monument. He complied, and
his design was adiudged inferior to that OF
Mr.. Schmitz. However, instead of being
disgruntled, he says that the commission
ers made wise selection.
Yesterday afternoon permission was
granted for taking up the trees in Circle
park to make room for the foundation of
the monument. The larger portion of the
park will be covered by the foundation
and the circle of stone that will environ 1t.
Within two weeks the commissioners ex-
pect to be ready for letting the contracts,
and the work will be Immediately begun
and pushed rapidly forward.
The commissioners are having photo
graphs OF the monument in three sizes
struck of, which will soon be put on sale
throughout the state. The entire proceeds
are to 20 to the monument fund.

GREAT IS HUMBUG,

The approximate valus of the domestic
breadstufs exported 1:om the United
States during the month of February was
during the corresponding month of 1887.
During the eight months ended Feb.
% last the valus Of domestic breadstgffs
exported was sol, 797, S1S. as against $1O4,a
&c, ASS during the corresponding eight
months of 1861. The figures for the first
two months of 1888 were SIS, 154, Oil; for
the first two months OF 1887, $26, 410, $50.
During the eight months ended Feb.
20 we exported 81, 800, SS1 bushels OF wheat
and 16 44S, 700 bushels of corn. During
the corresponding period of 1867 we
exported 6j 534,67S bushels of wheat and
%, 1S3, 7s9 bushels of corn.
These figures are worthy the careful at
tention of our farmers. They show de-
Ginning foreign demand for our farm pro.
ducts, arising largely from resort by
Europe to other sources of supply. The
indications are that Europe will hereafter
take proportionately less OF our wheat
corn, etc., than heretofore. Where then
are we to find an outlet for our steadily
increasing production of breadstuffs? The
problem is serious one and may well
challenge the consideration of thoughtful
minds.
Reflection, we think, will lead most
intelligent people to the conclusion that
the principal cause of the declining for.
eign demand for American farm products
is the spoliation tariff. 1t is law OF trade
which congresses and legislatures can not
repeal or suspend, that in order to sell, one
must buy. The policy Of fining Americans
for every purchase they make abroad is
having its Legitimate effect. The nations
of Europe which have been our best Gus
toners in the past are beginning to look
else where for the commodities which they
have heretofore obtained almost exclusively
OF Us. They will buy where they can sell
on equal terms with their rivals. The
American farmer will have to grin and
bear it, We suppose. The prices OF his pro.
ducts will still be fixed by the prices OBJ.
tanned for his surplus in Europe. With
this surplus steadily increasing owing to
the declining demand, his revenue will
jlst as steadily fall. Meantime he will be
compelled TO pay srtifcially enhanced
prices for his coal, salt, lumber, tools,
clothing, medicine, sugar and furniture, for
the blessed privilege of a "home market"
And what is more, he will help to perpet-
uate system which is thus robbing him
both ways, under the delusion that he is
thus protecting" himself and his neigh
bors against some vague but terrible mon
ster called the "Pauper Labor OF Europe"
Meantime sleek, well-fed gentlemen Of the
ANDREW CARNEGIE sort will be laughing in
their sleeves at him.
Great Is humbug.

THE North Topeka Courier has brought
to the surface the interesting fact that
JOHN JAMES INGALLS, of Kansas, ran for
governor of that state, in 1864, on plat.
form containing the following 'planks:"
That we hereby ratify the nomination
of GEORGE B. Mcclellan of New Jersey,
for president, and GEORGE II. PENDLEToE Of
Ohio, for vice president, and we pledge
them our hearty support.
That We hereby ratify and adopt the
Chicago platform, as understood and con-
strued by Gen. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN in
his letter accepting the nomination of the
Chicago convention for president of the
United States.
This was the very MCCLELLAN whom
INGALLS, stigmatizsd the other day as an
tally OF the Confederacy." 1t seems that
he was in better company in 1864 than he
has been since.
