Free Gas for Factories and the Tariff

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
What was the matter with rolling mill heref
Protected to death with tariff materials needed
in it's work which enabled the steel monopolists to
close it.-News.
Current opinion differs from the above an
swer as to what was the matter with roll
ing-mill. A number of steel masters control a
cheap and superior process for manufacturing
the advanced product of steel ingots, which in
turn these monopolistic mill owners make into
steel rails but it is in proper sense raw mate
rial as classed by the News Without these in
gots or their equivalent, at competing rate,
steel rails cannot be manufactured at a profit.
Some eighteen months ago the owners of our
rolling mill were made acquainted with pro-
cess for making their own steel and at once set
to work putting in the necessary plant SO far
it has not been a complete success, but like all
new enterprises it takes time and patience to
overcome unforeseen obstacles and they are being
their failure, if failure it prove to be, because
certain monopolies control secret process and
viii not give the snap away" is dishonest
trick, used bolster up free trade theory.
The cause is disconnected with tariff entirely.
As long European manufacturers can afford
to sell their products to American jobbers, duty
paid. at lower rate than they sell the same
done within year, notably the manufactured
goods cutlery, glass and queensware, the News
will have easy task to convince its readers
that tariff approaching free trade would not
close every factory in the United States even
with the advantage Of free fuel The writer is
still Of the opinion that the News, in its effort
to obtain free gas and free trade for Indanapo-
lis factories. is attempting to perform the disas-
trous equestrian feat of riding two horses going
IN opposite directions. MANUFACTURERS

shirt whenever necessary. When I look at
the old soldiers that are now broken
down from the effects of the rebellion,
who are robbed of their once manhood am
forced to ask myself the cause of those physical
wrecks. When see the Wanting boastfuIness
OF those traitors in power chanting the
praise of jeff Davis and lowering the stars and
stripes at half-ma at the death of Jake Thomp-
son, all of these things to go unrebuked, I feel
that we certainly must have been mistaken as
to the principles we fought for But if we were
right in what we fought for then it behooves us
to wake up to the situation and face the old
enemy, not in arms hut the same enemy we
met in arms from 1860 to 1864. but in a more
dangerous form They now seeking to gain
by the ballot-box what they failed to gain by
arms only in different FORM Then the ex-
tension of slavery was the object, but now it is
the control of the government by Southern
Democrats, aided by Northern demagogues. Re-
publicans must rouse themselves and shake off
their lethargy and meet them face to face,
protecting their rights at the North and demand
ing equal justice at the South where thousands
of Republicans disfranchised. If they were
allowed to cast their ballots peaceaby and were
then counted as they should be, the country
would never be disgraced by Democrats

age of the New York Republicans in instructing
Evarts and Hiscock to oppose the confirmation
of Lamar. This is what the Republicans of

Lamar's Nomination.

T6ethe Editor of the indianapolis Journals
What is the difference between indorsing the
the treason, and appointing the traitor to the
most honorable and lucrative Office within the
government he undertook to destroy? The
nomination of L. @. c. Lamar of the
justices of the Supreme Court is deliberate in
suit to every just minded man in the Nation,
degrading to the court and foul aspersion
upon the Senate. What becomes of our fancied
security by the syste N of checks and balances
the different branches of government
ate is expected to sacrifice its independence and
meekly acquiesce in whatever the President
may choose to dictate? Imagine. If you can,
what a tremendous uproar it would have raised
from Maine to Georgia If President Madison
Monroe had presented to the Senate, for con-
firmaton to the same position. the name of
Aaron Burr, compared to whom. in any of the
attributes qualifications that adorn dignity
the station. the present nominee is an idiot.
Burr was also guilty of his countrys blood
What becomes of the moral effect of Furnishing
anarchy with DEATH if greater criminals are
warded with honors and emoluments2 Does
any body suppose these red handed outlaws who
arc banded against organized society, are indif-
ferent SPECTATORS of this distinction made against
them2 The members of the Supreme Court be-
ing power1ess to prevent or resent this indig-
nity makes it all the more obligatory upon the
Senate to save them from this humiliation.

Farm Nores.

The general aspect of the dairy animal is
thinner, sharper and more angular than tina
feeding animal.
A small garden is better than large one, il
well cultivated. Spread some well-rotted
manure that is free from litter on the garden
plot, and use the manure literally. The crops
will more than repay it.
When the ground is hard and frozen work
may be done in cutting out the surplus canes of
blackberries and raspberries The old cane is
only useless incumbrance to vine, and should
be removed while there is plenty of time for
such work. "A liberal application of wood ashes
may be applied after removing the canes. while
bone dust will also be found very beneficial
Whether it pays best to feed the skim milk on
the farm to pigs or hens depends on cireun-
stances. One thing is certain, and that is the
milk will make the hens lay, and the matter of
profits depends upon whether eggs or pork will
find a ready sale. 1t will not do to feed all the
milk to hens unless large numbers kept, but
if attention can be given the hens it will pay to
feed the milk to hens and purchase pork. II
milk is plentiful at least give the hens ali they
will drink of it, as it takes the place of animal
food.

The Most Complete Newspaper in
all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is widely or mors
favorably known than the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
By the display of enterprise and strict attention the
of the reading public it has taken leading po-
sition among the most prominent journals of the
country aud is certainly among the best. Among
the newspa persof the State it is prominently the
best and Indiana readers nowhere else find whac
they want in the way of State and local news. It
circuates largely in every county in Indiana has
correspondents in every town and village of mpor-
tance. It's market reports prepared with the
greatest possible, and pains or expense are
spared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable.
1t is the only newspaper in the State owning and pub
fishing all the furnished by the two great press
associations (the Western Associated Press and the
United Press, in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all the principal
cities of the country It has BEEN and will in future
be- the aim of the publishers to make the INDIAN
APoLIs JOURNAL perfect and complete newspaper,
deficient in department particular. Tho paper
challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries.
The approach OF the great campaign of 1888 rem
it desirable for every citizen to have frstclass
newspaper; in fact, it will be impossible for him to
keep fairly abreast of the times without cuch paper.
Great political battles be fought in the State
and Nation and their conduct and progress the JOUR-
NAL will carefully record. No Indiana reader, GER
tanly Indiana Republican. should be without the
JOURNAL in the coming campaign. While it is thor
oughy and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to
the interest of the Republican party. the JOURNAL
win allow its be colored by partisan bias,
but will give the of the day without fear
favor. The present session of the national Con-
gress will be among the most important held in recent
years. and questions of great national moment will be
considered Every citizen is interested in the pend
ing legislation, and keep himself thoroughly
posted by perusal of the JOURNALS columns,
in which the dongs of Congress will be fully reported.
In addition to its features the JOURNAL re-
gales its readers with the productions of of the
best known literary and women of the day. Many
of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors
are contributors to its literary columns makingsita
paper for the household and home circle. Special
rangements have been made forefeatures OF this
character, which will appear in the JOURNAL during
the coming year. These appear most largely in the
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is special edition, and can
be subscribed for and received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.
