To THE EDToR-Sr: 1) Has DR.
FLETCHER of the insane asylum left the
democratic party and gone over to the re-
publican party? (2) Why did CLEVELAND

sion bill? 90 Where can person get a
good political history of the democratic
and republican parties? and give author.
(4) Is it true that Secy WHITNEY will re-
sign his position as secretary of the inte-
rior? JOHN A. SHAFER.

The Naturalized Cinnamon.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Senator Drake says
the Chinese were naturalized to secure claim
of money, instead of the right to obtain citizen
ship. Is that so? NJ. w. ID.
LaGrange, Ind, Oct. 2.
II Senator Drake refers to the Cinnamon nat
uralized in this city in 1880, he lies-under a
mistake. They were naturalized for voting
purposes and nothing else. The papers were
issued them by Dan Ransdell, republican
county clerk. Some of these papers bear date
the day before election. The Cinnamon were
marched up to the polls by republicans and
voted over democratic protests. They voted
for Porter and the whole republican state
ticket, and for the republican candidates for
the legislature, who afterward helped to send
Ben Harrison to the U. s. senate, where he in
turn voted fourteen times in favor of the
Chinese. The whole proceedings were illegal
and fraudulent. The facts as given above are
all of record, have been printed in detail in
THE SENTINEL, and have not been denied.

Last spring the following petition was sent
to congress by the great canning companies of
California:
We most respectfully petition you to use
your best endeavors to have the duty on tin
plate removed. No tin plate being manufac-
tured in this country, it ought to be placed on
the free list.
The consumer of canned goods is one of the
direct losers through such unnecessary tariff !;
also the fruit growers and Gamers suffer ma
terially, a removal of the unnecessary duty
would undoubtedly result in larger consump-
ZION of canned goods throughout this country,
and consequent larger demand by the Gamers
for the products of our orchards.

Pensions and Per Cents.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Please answer the
following questions in your next issue:
Out of the 1,51S pensOn bills submitted TO the
president, 1919 were vetoed. Why did the
democratic house permit the 1879 to pass un'
molested?
Republicans say that the average reduction
by the Mills bill is IL instead OF per cent
claiming that the average, as it stands per
cent? was arrived at by counting in the duty
collected last year on the articles which the
bill places on the free list. Yours truly,
L. s. DALTON.
p S.-Argument involved.
Greencastle, Oct D.
1. Because neither house Of congress- pays
proper attention to pension business. One
night in the week is set aside for pension bust.
ness, and about dozen members attend. A
member who wants to get bill through
vOuches that it is a meritorious case and that
settles 1t unless some one else happens to know
that it is not. Almost anything will pass if the
Hon. Mr.. Jones or Mr.. Smith says it ought to
pass The president has paid more honest at
tention to the merits of the cases than both
houses of congress combined.
2. The reduction is only 5 per cent OF
course the duty of proposed free list articles is
counted in. If it were not, the reduction would
be only about per cent.

Another Republican FaIsehood

Republican speakers in Indiana are
telling their audiences that sec. 40 OF
the Mills bill repeats the internal taxes
on liquors.
This is an outrageous falsehood. The
Mills bill does not reduce the taxes on
liquors BY single penny. 1t repeats the
SPECIAL or license tax of $40 on manu-
facturers of stills, the special tax of S25 on
retail dealers in liquors, and the special
tax of $50 on retail dealers in malt liquor
These licenses yield an Insignificant rev.
enue, in comparison with the revenue
from the tax on liquors, which the repub-
lican platform proposes to repeal.
There is no free whisky in the demo
cratic platform or the democratic policy.

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.
The Public Ask For Cheap Lumber ant
Are offered Free Acorns.

The Public Ask For Cheap Lumber and
Are offered Free Acorns.
To THE EDIToR-Str: For four months the
republican senate has been wrestling with a
tariff bill. Az last it has delivered itself, and
put acorns on the free list.
All the hogs in Indiana, when they heard il,
sat down on their fat hams, with their shouts
toward Washington, and gave the senate
the laugh. Why? Because acorns are
free. III that intellectual body of congregated
monopolists had labored another month they
would have added toe-cOrns to the Stree list"
When the people ask for cheap lumber the
republicans offer them free acorns. When
the people ask for lower-priced clothing the
same party offers more acorns. Cheaper blan-
kets, SALT etc. the &. o. p. offers whole hand
fulls of acorns. In fact when the people de-
mand cheaper necessities the party, against
them, offer, with nastodonic gall. free acorns
and Tree whisky.
The senate tariff bill has not been read
through yet, but with the same degree of fair
ness, which characterizes the majority in that
body, they will offer the people free paw-paws,
free buckeyes and free tOad-stools. Republi-
cans ought to be happy when they obtain all
these things free-they are so necessary to the
salvation of that party. With a free whisky
platform and free acorns, Harrison ought to
carry Indiana. Danger free acorns!

recent election in that state. The Hot
Springs Gazette says that in the ,entire
state there was not single negro killed or
wounded on election day, but that two
white democrats were killed in one cleo
ton disturbance. The colored voters of
Indiana are, we think, too intelligent to
be deceived by stories OF southern out
rage and murder, which used to do such
good service in political campaigns in the
North. The fact of the matter is that the
colored man is as secure in his person,
property and political rights in Arkansas
as he is in Indiana, and the story Of the
massacre in that state on election day is
a lie made out of whole cloth.

those means, succeed at the coming election,
that knavery and corruption may be fastened

James Russell Lowell on Cleveland.

subscriber asks THE SENTINEL 10 print
the exact language used by Mr.. James Russell
Lowell. the most accomplished man of letters
living and always republican, in public
address at Boston few months ago in refer
ence to the president. Mr.. Lowell, among
other things, said:
Never before has Pandora's box
so full of the germs OF infectious demoraliza-
ton been offered TO any people as to us in our
growing surplus. Never have such grotesque
schemes for squandering what should be the
life-blood of the nations industrial energies
been proposed by men IN public place, and,
what is sadder, by men who have persuaded
themselves and are striving to persuade others
that they acting from patriotic motives.
Never before have such enormous brides been
offered to self-interest, to cupidity, to dishonor,
to sioth. Ii unthriftiness be thus preached in
high places, with what force can thrift be incul-
Gated in the lower?
One, certainly, of the reasons that have
brought us hither, one at least of those that
chiefly suggested the opportuneness of our
coming together here has been the presidents
message at the openingo of the present congress.
Personally, | confess that feel myself strongly
attached to Mr.. Cleveland as the best represen-
tative of the higher type of Americanisn that
we have seen since Lincoln was snatched from
us. And by Americanism l mean that which
we can not help not that which we faunt that
way OF looking at things and of treating men
which we derive from the soil that holds our
fathers and waits for us. | think we have ali
recognized in him manly simplicity of character
and an honest endeavor to do all that he could of
duty where all that he could was nade impossi-
bic by difficulties to the hourly trials and
temptations of which we have fortunately
never been exposed But we are not here to
thank him as the head of party We are
here to felicitate each other that the presi-
dental chair has man in il, and this means
that every word he says is weighted with what
this man understands politics to mean business
not chicanery, plain-speakng not palterng
with us in double sense; that he has had the
courage to tell the truth TO the country without
regard to personal or party consequences and
thus remind us that q country not worth tell
ing the truth to is not worth living in nay,
deserves TO have les told it and to take the in
evitabie consequences in calamity

Estimated average rate under Mills


It will be seen that the average rate
proposed by the Mills bill is higher than
the rate actually collected in 1S62-63-64-
72-73-74 and 81, during all of which years
the high-taxers tell US the country was
growing in wealth because 1t was well
protected" And yet they also tell us
that the Mills bill is "free trade" and
BEN HARRISON asks the people to believe
that the issue presented by this measure
is whether the protective system shall be
destroyed.
The figures given above are complete
refutation of these most dishonest claims.
If tariff duties averaging 42.49 per cent
are free trade, how high must they be to
give protection? This is a question which
some of the monopoly takers ought to
find time to answer
