ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Aug. 10.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1892-08-19

The LoganspOrt Journal has done a
neat piece of work in exposing a series
of misstatements - we might use
stronger word--made by Senator Voor-
hees in a speech delivered in the Senate
in September last. These misstats-
ments referred to the price of the farm
implements made by the Ann Arbor
Agricultural Company, which, Senator
Voorhees, said, were sold much cheaper
abroad than they are in this cOuntryo
He gave what purported to be the prices
of the implements at home and abroad.
The Democratic State central commit
tee has procured cuts of the implements
and is circulating the speech. thus illus
trated. in the Democratic papers of the
State. The LOgansport Journal sent
reporter, with a copy of the article, to
interview an agricultural Implement
dealer of that city who handles the
Ann Arbor company's goods. and who
is a Democrat. AS soon as he looked at
Senator Voorhees, statement in regard
to home prices he said: ''Those figures
are away off," He then gave the re-
porter cuts of all the implements,
identical with those used to illustrate
Voorhees, speech, to be used In re-
futing his statements, and also gave
the reporter the LOganspOrt retail
price for each one. This price-list, ac-
companied in each case by GU of the
implement, shows that in every instance
Senator Voorhees, statement was wide
of the truth. 1t also shows that in ev-
cry case the home price is less than the
foreign price. Mr.. Voorhees, stated that
the home price of the Advance hay ted
der was S45. whereas it sells in Logans-
port for $50; he gave the home price of
a dump rake as S25. whereas the Lo-
gansport dealer furnishes it for S16; he
said an ensilage cutter sells in this coun-
try for 800. whereas it sells in LOgans-
port for $50; he said the home price of
the Cummings cutter, No. 1, Is $2S,
whereas it is $15; he said the home
price of Cummings cutter, No. Q, was
$50. whereas it is only $50: mower
which he said is sold in this country
for $50 is sold for $40. and a horse
power which he said sold for 800 ia sold
for s54. And so on through the entire
list 1t is not known where Mr.. Voor-
bees obtained his figures, but the dem
onstration is complete that they are ut
terly false. This is the kind of matter
which the Democratic committee is cir
culating in Indiana in this campaign
of education"

THE Journal gives considerable space
to brief extracts from representative
papers in different parts of the country
relative to the strike of railroad en-
ployes at Buffalo. These expressions
are Indicative of press opinion and tho
trend of public sentiment. They are in
the main decidedly condemnatory of the
violent methods adopted by the strik-
ers, and outspoken in the opinion that
their lawless acts have deprived them
of all claim to public sympathy. There
is general disposition to sympathize
with the reasonable demands of labor.

The right of workmen to strike for
higher wages or better conditions is
universally recognized, provided they
do not interfere with the rights of 9TH
ers. But when men attempt to enforce
their own rights, real or supposed. by
trampling on those of others and by q
wholesale destruction of property, they
put themselves entirely outside the pale
of sympathy. The recent occurrences
at Buffalo constitute disgraceful rec
ord. and there is nothing left for law
abiding citizens but to hope that the
outbreak may be summarily suppressed
and the rineleaders punished. The only
way to prevent anarchy is by the en-
f0rCement of law.

THE Mckinley Republicans of Indiana
are not discouraged by the sale of the great
Republican tin-plate- mill at Anderson for
debt of $lS1. The operation of the Mo-
Kinley bill in thus promoting the industry
of the sheriff has not permanently cast
them down. The old thresher boiler that
operated the works at Anderson is on the
market and they are now going to star
another Great Mckinley mill at Eiwood, to
be opened ON Sept Is under the auspices of
st Louis Republic.
This illustrates the temper of Demo-
cratic papers towards American indus
tries, and especially toward new indus
tries. There is not another civilized
country in the world where this spirit
is shown. 1t is probable that the inhab-
itants of Central Africa and some other
savage quarters of the globe would re-
sent the introduction OF manufactures
as an interference with their traditional
rights and menace to their happiness,
but among civilized nations the free
traders of this country are the only peo-
pie who occupy that position. They
grit their teeth with rage whenever
they hear of the establishment of new
industry and rejoice whenever one of
them gets into trouble or fails.
