GREAT DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE.

At Shelbyvllle, lad, Sept. 2S, 1897.
The Democracy of Shelby Coun-
ty, Ind, the old home of the late
Vice President Hendricks, will
hold its usual mammoth Democrat
ic Barbecue on Sept. %. Hereto
fore, more than 10000 people at
tended each of the Barbecues at
that place aud from present indi-
cations, this one will assume ma
tional proportions and eclipse any
thing of the kind ever attempted
in the country. Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, the running mate of
Grover Cleveland, will be present
and make speech on that occa-
sion. This fact alone gives the
meeting ntional significance
and insures an immense gathering
of the unterrified Democracy. Hon.

REPUBLICAN extravaganza has
run the cost of Government up to
nearly four hundred millions of
dollars. Nearly three-fourths of
this vast sum must be got through
the Custom houses. Hence any
thing like precipitation in revising
the tariff schedules is impossible.
Wicked as they are they must con-
tinue to rob the people for a good
while yet. We cannot revolution
ize the tariff. We can weed out
some of its abuses. We can reduce
many of its impositions. We can
change the policy of Checking i'm
ports" by the Mckinley process to
one of increasing at one and the
same time both the imports and
the revenues. We can serve notice
upon the Robber Barons, that, hav-
ing got to the top of the hill of pro-
lection, we are going to come down
again. But we can not get rid of
protection by single act of Con-
gress. 1t is disease. Its poison
percolates the entire fabric of the
Government. A cure can only be
effected by long and patient treat
ment. More's the pity!

Organize Clubs.
Cleveland Plaiu Dealer.

Cleveland Plaiu Dealer.
Organize! Organize Democratic
clubs in every school district and
and in every voting precinct. This
should be done in every state in
the union. There should be a solid
Democracy with union of feeling
and purpose in this campaign.
Campaigns of education during the
past two elections have done much
toward enlightening the people up
on the great economic questions
that form the issues, but there re-
mains much more work to be done.
To accomplish the desired end
clubs should be formed with Dem
ocrats and independent Republi-
cans who will go forth to meet Re-
publican falsehoods with living
truths. There is a great work for
good live Democratic campaign
clubs to do. Each member can
take 1t upon himself to induce one
two, or as many as possible Repub
iicans to vote the Democratic tick
ct.
With Democratic clubs in every
part of Ohio, filled with voters who
will do the work, Ohio would. be
placed in the Democratic column
in November. The hearts of the
people in this state are with the
Democrats and with proper effort
the prevalence of that feeling will
be made manifest at the coming
election.

Balancing the ParadOxes.
N. Y. World.

N. Y. World.
No acrobat on tight rope ever
had a more ticklish task before
him than have the champions of
MeKinleyism in balancing the par
adoxes of Protection.
Their chief organ in this city is
busy in trying to prove:
1. That putting tax on an arti-
Gle cheapens it to consumers.
2. That cheapening the product
enables the manufacturer to in
crease or to "maintain" wages.
8. That the cost of food can be re-
duced to workingmen, while the
farmer gets higher prices for his
products on account of a tariff on
foodstuffs which constitute the
main part of our exports.
1. That the foreigners really pay
the duty, though Mr.. Mckinley, in
the kindness of his heart, taxes
them only $1sO,OOO,OOO a year to-
wards the expenses of the Govern
ment.
1t is a very nice piece of tight
rope balancing which the defenders
Of taxing nation into prosperity
have undertaken.

ocratic party has opposed protec-
tion robbery and stood for reve-
nue. tariff. Its platform in 1875,
carefully prepared under the eye
OF that sage of Democrats, Samuel
j. Tilden, denounced the inequities
ofthe Robber Tariff and demanded
that all Custom-hou duty should
be "only for revenue" The plat
form of 1880 repeated this demand.
The straddle of 1884 was made to
cover supposed political necessi-
ty. 1t faced four ways for Sunday,
and had a side for all the compass.
1t was a masterpiece of chicanery,
and, still, we onlypuIled Cleveland
through by the hair of his head.
The great message'of 1887, and the
straight platform of 1888, made it
all right, however, and, although
we lost the election because of To-
cal and personal causes in the
State of New York, we carried the
two Tariff States of Connecticut
and New Jersey, made gains in all
the Tariff centers, and educated
the people up to full comprehen-
sion of the monstrous nature of the
Protectionist swindle and robbery.
The result was that the attempt of
the straddlers and jugglers in the
Chicago convention to play fast
and loose with cardinal Demo-
cratic principle and automatic
Democratic doctrine was overwhel-
mingly beaten; the party decided
by an immense majority to stand
by it's colors. Even the great edi-
tor of the Nea0 York Sun, with all
his resources, his wit and ingenui-
ty, could not escape the inevitable.
So, let every true Democrat fall
in line and all along the column
let the banners wave and the song
be, "Down with the robber tariff"
Down with the robber tariff in the East,
Down with the robber tariff in the North,
Down with the robber tariff in the West,
Down with the robber tariff in the South
Down with the thieving duties
at the Custon-houses; down with
the swindling reciprocity treaties;
down with the cant about the wage
earpers; down with the fraud that
taxes make wealth; down with all
fallacies of protection, and up with
the starry flag of the Union, Free
Trade and Sailors Rights!

Our Flag is Still There.

Courier Journal.l
The plain speaking of the Cour-
Ter Journal has Wakened up the
Republicans, horse foot and dra-
goons. They started out upon the
idea that the Democratic plan of
Campaign, as prearranged by the
National Committee, with its mil
lionaire procliyities and Peppsyl-
wants adjacencies, involved a be-
trayal of the people and the party
by the practical repudiation of the
Tariff-for-R Revenue plank in the
National platform, They even
went so far as to assume that Mr.
Cleveland meant in some way to
qualify it, or to explain it away
The Madison Square Garden
speech dispelled this illusion. Mean
while, the National Committee is
going about its business precisely
as II nothing had happened, and
the Democracy from one end OF
the land to the other is shouting
"down with the robber tariff"

Reunion of Old Sailors and
Soldiers.

Two coming important events of
interest to sailors and soldiers of
the late war will be the Reunion of
Naval Veterans at Baltimore, Sept
10, to 10, and the Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Washington, commencing Sept. 20,
Immediately after the Sailors Re-
union. Interest in the reunion will
be heightened by the presence of
the White Squadron in the harbor
of Baltimore. The G. A. r. En-
campment will be the occasion of
the greatest military assemblage
in Washington since the Grand
Review of 1865, following the fall
Richmond. For both of these
events the Baltimore & Ohio South
western Railroad and connecting
lines in the west and southwest
will sell tickets at greatly reduced
rates, and will grant most liberal
concessions in the way stop-over
privileges. Tickets will BIZ sold
from Sept 13, to 20, inclusive, valid
for return journey until Oct. IO,and
will be good to stop off, going or
returning, at all stations between
Cumberland and BaItimore-a re-

Cleveland the Platform.

"But it was not necessary in this
canvass that the Democracy
should have platform. Before
the'Presidential election four years
ago, the President of the United
States addressed message to Con-
gress calling attention to the injus-
tice Of the tariff and urging the re-
peal of many of its protective fea-
lures. Friends advised against it.
Cabinet officers demonstrated, His
party leaders disapproved. But
neither advice or remonstrance,
nor self-interest, nor threats, nor
fear of defeat restrained him. Low
ing the truth, solicitous for the con-
ditions of labor, fearless of conse-
quences, he staked his election up-
on his message and its merits and
lost. The people didn't see the
truth clearly. The hold of monop-
oily upon the country was so strong.
The laboring people did not realize
their burdens. Bnt the work of
education was inaugurated. The
light has commenced to shine in
dark places. He who lost his life
