Let rs Make No Mistakes.

In little more than week the demo-
cratic state convention will assemble. a
majority OF the delegates are already
chosen. Most of them, we are glad to say,
will come to the convention unhampered
by instructions OF any kind. They will
come, as we believe, with an honest pur-
pose to nominate the strongest possible
ticket, regardless of considerations OF per-
sonal ambition or local pride.
Every intelligent and patriotic democrat
must realize that this is a poor year to in
dulge his pride or crafty his prejudices,
or get even" with his enemies at the ex-
pense of his party. We are on the eve Of
a desperate battle. We have a ma
jority in Indiana, but not such a
majority as viii warrant us in making any
mistakes or committing any foolishness
whatsoever. Like Mercldio's wound, it lacks
dimensions, but twill serve, if we hold it.
To hold it we must nominate strong
ticket on sound platform, effect first
class organization, bury all personal
prudges and animOsities and factional
quarrels so deep that they can never be
resurrected, and go into the fight deter
mined 10 wiz, if victory is to be gained
by legitimate and honorable methods.
There are some things that must be
carefully avoided if we are to carry In
diana this year.
Perhaps the first and most importan
thing to be avoided is Understanding
the strength Of our opponents. The re-
publicans of Indiana are very hungry and
very thirsty. They have all the reckless
desperation that attends a naturally
voracious appetite, sharpened by a
long period Of enforced fasting. They
are determined to carry Indiana
this year, by fair means or by foul. They
expect to have, and doubtless will have,
an abundance of the "sinews Of war" The
tariff rings and the great corporations will
see to that They expect to have an Indi-
ana man on the republican national ticket,
and they intend to nominate their most
popular and artfuI demagogue Tor gov
ernor. They win contest every inch OF

] am aware there is a prejudice against any.
thing has the name of Trust" But this is
owing TO the fact that the object of trust is so
little understood.
trust is the union of business institutions,
and its object is TO prevent ruinops competi-
tluon IN trade; experience having demon
strated that competition is not the safe and
honest method OF doing business. To compe-
luton may be traced eighty per cent. of all
business failures, and the survival of the fttest
or strongest becomes an oppressive monopoly.
trust is a compact between TWO or more in
. dependent business firms, agreeing to do or
not TO do certain thing in the line of their
business, and implies a trustee 10 execute the
trust, who is restricted or limited to the specific
object OF the trust. By these modern institu-
ions, uniform grades OF prices are established,
thus protecting the weak against the strong;
respectively reserving to each member of the
union all the rights and powers not delegai led
to the trust
A trust, therefore, is decentralizing in its in
fuence, and check upon monopoly the lat
ter being consolidation of capital or a GEN.
.tralization of business power, acting under
7 one supreme principal head deriving IFS nour-
ishment and growth from the failure and ruin
OF competitors in trade. When combination
in business assumes this character il ceases TO
be trust, and becomes a monopoly.
The manufacturing and commercial classes
! are organized, but the agricultural the funda-
mental industrial class, is unorgsnized, and at
the mercy of the other two.
The farmers trust movement therefore has
become necessity in order TO secure an equit-
able exchange of product and TO restore the
normal condition OF trade, or an equilibrium of
production and consumption.
The interstate convention of farmers called

A Word With You. Friends.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL is now a
larger and better paper than ever be-
force 1t is printed on new Hoe perfect
ing press with capacity of $4,000 sheets
per hour, folded. This wonderful ma
chine costs $4,000. New and handsome
type are used, which makes the print
clear and legible. \ better quality of pa
per and ink is used than ever before. The
idea is 10 make THE INDIANA STATE SEN
TINEL the best, the handsomest and the
cheapest weekly paper considering its
superiority ever offered to the people of
Indiana.
All of these improvements have cost a
large amount of money. 4 new invest
ment of something like $4,000 has been
made, and the running expenses largely
increased. We hope our friends, and es-
pecially those who are interested in the
democratic cause, will appreciate these
things, and aid us to get fair return on
our money, our enterprise and our labor.
They can do this in two ways: First,
all who are in arrears can square them
selves on the books at once, and at the
same time remit year subscription in adj
vance. The INDIANA STATE SENTINEL only
costs one dollar year, less than two cents
copy, including postage. Where else,
reader, can you get so much comfort, SO
much information for yourself and your
family, so much substantial benefit, for
two cents? Send us your old debt, then,
if you owe one, and dollar for the year
4oooooo. 60 that v-han Won enjoy thn In vt1ry
OF THE SENTINEL you will have the salts
faction Of knowing that it is paid for.
There is another way you can aid TIE
SENTINEL and the democratic cause. Tell
your neighbOrs and friends about the pa
per. Tell them of the improvements it
has made, and impress upon them the
TACT that it is the cheapest and best week
" paper in Indiana. Get them to try it
for year, Zone dollar or if they wont do
that to send sixty cents for THE SENTINEL
until the end OF the presidential campaign.
III you have a friend or relative who has
left the state, or is about to leave it, sug-
gest to him that by sending a dollar to
THE SENTINEL he can get what amounts to
weekly letter from home for fifty-two
weeks, giving all the news of interest from
dear old Indiana, besides the news Of all
the world.
Every subscriber of THE SENTINEL
could easily get it another subscriber if he
would make little effort. Wont you all
try, friends? Wont YOU try, ladies, and
boys and girls, who get so much pleasure
out Of THE SENTINEL every week?

the Farmers trust" differ from the grange?D
can answer without prejudice as have
been a member of the grange for the past
seventeen years.
The grange tried to regulate prices on what
the farmers had TO buy. The Farmers trust
undertakes to control the prices on what the
farmers have to sell. The one appoints agents
to buy cheap; the other will appoint agents to
sell to the best advantage. The grange Is a
secret social society; its members are bound
together by moral obligations; itsoughl to ac'
cOmplish political ends. 1t excludes from
membership ali persons who are not farmers
The Farmers trust has no secrets, signs,
passwords nor blach-balls, and its members
are bound together by peeuniary obligations-

Ex-senator Harrison's popularity as an In
diana aspirant for the presidency over Judge
Gresham (also of Indiana( who is mot can
didate, is said TO be demonstrated by the fact
that he (Harrison) has captured the delegates"
in Gresham's own county. That certainly does
look like popularity, and also like business
among the wire-working and delegate-electing
class of Indiana republicans, but whether that
means true popularity among the people whose
votes make presidents may be question with
an opposite answer. There is big difference,
occasionally, between that popularity with
party bosses and workers which makes candi-
dates and that high estimation among the peo-
pie which induces them 10 elect presidents. 1t
is not ut all unlikely that while ex-senator Har-
rison may have more Of the one, Judge Gresham
may have most of the other

Now that the deadlock in the house has
been broken, and the direct tax refunding
bill laid over until next December, the
country expects that body TO make up for
lost time. The reduction of taxes, and
not the refunding of taxes collected more
than a quarter OF a century ago, is what
the people demand, gentlemen. The way
to solve the surplus problem is to remove
the taxes which are levied in the interest
OF MONOPOLY.

P THE Journal says it has always been in
favor of taking the asylums out OF politics.
Ii so, it kept mighty quiet about it when
its party was in power. Should the SEEM

cans carry Indiana at some time in the
distant future, the Journal will, we predict,
antagonize any movement to take the

THE leading mugwump newspapers OF
the country admit that the commanding
issue in the presidential campaign will be
that of revenue reform. On that issue
nineteen-twentieths of the mugwumps
stand squarely on the democratic plat
form. The New York Times, the New
York Post and Harper's Weekly are con-
stantly dealing effective blows at the spolia-
ton tariff. They will support President
CLEVELAND for reelection because OF his
attitude on this question. They admit
that the civil service issue, however i'm
portant, is subordinate to that of tariff re-
form, and besides they know that a
republican restoration means the revival
of the spoils system in its most aggravated
form. After all, the mugwumps are pretty
level-headed fellows. We beg to assure
them of our distinguished consideration.
