are honestly opposed to the trust, and will
antagonize any movement looking TO re-
turn to the old system.
Republican sentiment throughout the
state is. to a very large extent, on the side
of the new law. Intelligent republicans
realize that they have just as much interest
in getting cheap school-books, and in the
emancipation of the schools from the cor
ripping influence of the old trust, as their
democratic neighbors have. They recall
the fact that it was Gov. HovEY who first
officially invited attention to the frightful
extortions practiced by the trust upon the
people OF Indiana, and urged the legisla-
ture to give the people relief. They remem-
Der that many republican votes were
cast in the legislature for the law. They
are aware of the fact that majority of the
state board OF education, which adopted
the new books, declaring them to be equal
in all respects to the trust books, are re-
publicans. They know that as distin-
guished a republican and as sound a
lawyer as LOUIS T. MIcHENER attorney
general of the state and chairman of the
elaborate and carefully opinion,
has held the new law constitutional and
mandatory. They know that some of the
leading republicans in the state-men long
active in the councils OF their party. and
repeatedly honored by it-are associated
some ofthem as its principal ofiicers-with
the Indiana school-book company. For
these, and for many other reasons, the
better class of republicans and the better
class OF republican newspapers throughout
the state are almost without exception
friendly to the new law and the new
books.
Their views are forcibly expressed by
the Marion Chronicle, the republican organ
in one of the leading republican counties
in the state. The Chronicle says:
There never was law passed that met with
such general approval, and, although it may
have to be amended in some few particulars,
we never expect to see it repealed, except by
better one. The object throughout has been
to drive out lot of pirates who have grown
rich through corruption and bribery, and in
this it has been successful. With but few eX-
ceptions every school in Indiana is supplied
with the new looks, and they will not be
changed right away, because no board of edu-
cation would agree to it.

Republicans and School Books.

The course of the indianapolis Journal
on the school book question has led many
people to suppose that the republican
press of the state is generally hostile to the
new law and to the Indiana school book
company. The fact Il, however, that the
law and the company have no stancher
friends than are the leading republican
papers of the state. We believe there are
not to exceed dozen papers of any conse-
quence which the JournaIhas been able to
lead into the camp of the trust. The Evans
vile Journal, the Terre Haute ETpress, the
Fort Wayne Gazette, the Muncie Times,
the Marion Chronicle, the Bloomington
Telephone, the Huntington Herald and
many other important republican papers
are friendly to the new law and uncom-
promising in their opposition to the swind-
ling old trust. There are many other re-
publican papers, OF which the Lafayette
Courier is an illustration, which,
while not specially favorable to the
new law or the new books. have
steadily insisted, and DO now. that the law
shall be faithfully observed. and the books
thoroughly and fairly tried. These papers

Average yearly tax on each farmer, farmland and
dairy-maid Of sS259
The war which the republican party has
declared upon the surplus products OF orr
American farms is not imaginary. Ii is
no political scare" for it is outside the
tariff line on which political parties di-
vide. 1t is an issue far greater than any
that has ever come before the people
of the United State or the people Of
any country on earth. Beside it, when il
is understood, the slavery question was
Insignificant.
In 1860 the republican party, in national
convention, declared:
4. That the maintenance inviolate of the
rights of the states, and especially the right OF
each state TO order and control it's own domes-
tic institutions according to its own Judgment
exclusively, is essential 10 that balance OF
powers on which the perfection and endurance
of our political fabric depends; and We de-
nOunce the lawless invasion by armed force OF
the soil of any state or territory, no matter
der what Pretext, as the gravest OF crimes.
In1SS8 the republican party in national
convention solemnly declared:
We are uncomprOmisingly in favor of the
American system of protection. The protective
system must be maintained. The republican
party would effect all needed reduction of the
public revenue by such revision of the tariff
laws as will tend to check imports.
In other words, it stands pledged I'M
eompromisingly to protect the miil-owners
from the competition OF foreign goods i'm
ported in payment for the surplus product
of our farms. The present tax upon the
farmers payment for his surplus must not
only be maintained, but this reasonable
taxation and restraint now imposed upon
tine American farmer must be so increased
I : L l. L.
and he will stop exporting the
land he tills to become the wage-slave of
mill-owner.
The declaration OF war on slavery in
1860 rang cracked and thin cA.lbc-ed with
the trumpet blast of its declaratior IF y a.
on the farmers OF 1888.
A republican congress and a republican
president propose to begin the war at once.
1t will not be directed at any particular
section, nor at any particular farmers, but
at the whole industry in general. The
payment for our agricultural surplus is "a
be taxed until production is limited to the
needs of the "hOme market" until every
poor farmer, struggling along in hopes oil
better times, shall be driven into ''othel
vocations;" until only enough of those
now rich and prosperous who can stand
the strain are LETT on the land to supply
the exchange within our own border and
among our own people"
Is this time for democratic farmers ia
lie supinely on their backs waiting to hear
the news from Washington, or to vote in
the congressional elections one year from
now? Have they any time to lose in
awakening their republican neighbors anC
friends to a realization of the nature of the
impending crisis, of the fate which threat

that ne is opposed to the Administrations

INDIANA does not getthe supreme judge
ship. Both Atty.-Gen. MILLER and Judge
WOODS are passed over and the honor is
conferred upon DAVID J. BREWER of Kan
sas, who is now judge OF the Eighth judic-
ial circuit to which position he was ap-
pointed by President ARTHUR in 1884.
We feel justified in the suspicion that if
Judge WooDs had that Dudley decision to
make again, he wouldn't make it. The
judge is clearly victim OF misplaced con-
fidence.

The school book trust has opened its
mud batteries on the Bowen-Merrill COM
pany. In its last circular it denounces the
Bowen-Merrill copy-books as absolutely
worthless" The real objection to the
books is, of course, that they are sold for
half the price the trust has been receiving
for its copy-books. This is certainly gross
outrage upon the people, and violation
of the principles Of local seli-government."

mond Palladium, of the convention of the
Ohio and Indiana school superintendents
held in that town in October. 1t will be
remembered that the trust tried to pack
this convention with a view to securing
the passage of resolutions against the
new law and the new books, but
failed. The convention discussed these
matters some, most OF the lndi-
ana members expressing themselves
as friendly to the law and the books. So
strong was this sentiment that the agents
OF the octopus did not even dare to offer
the resolutions which had been prepared.
Yet from this circular the contents of
which were prepared and furnished the
Palladium by one of the truest lobbyists,
it would appear, that the convention was
little else than an Indignation meeting
against the new order OF things. No won

A DISCLAIMER.

The State press has been "going
for" friend Burkhead, of the N. G.
Prohibitionist with gloves off on
account of utterances attributed to
him in recent lecture at Trinity
College. We take pleasure in pub
fishing the following correction con-
tanned in the last issue of the Prohi-
bitionist: 1
The Editor of the Prohibition;;st
disclaims any desire, intention or
attempt to libel or speak harshly of
the editors of North Carolina in his
recent lecture at Trinity College.
He tried to show that journalism in
North Carolina is not money MAXI
ing scheme, but no word was uttered
that reflected upon the selfsacrifce,
the patriotism and devotion to duty
that characterizes the North Carolina
editor. He is sorry the friend who
reported the lecture misconceived
the point. The writer is sure no
word of his can be construed to
mean that the editor Of the Whining
ton Star or the editor of any other
paper was lacy. He knows he nev.
er thought such to be the case. 8 81 4
