THE industrial notes printed in this
issue of the Journal do not indicate that
capital has been drawn away from the
city by the recent strike or that it has
been alarmed in the slightest degree.
Our manufactures are all running full
handed and full time. Some are in
creasing their facilities and all are en-
larging their field of operations. One
firm of brick manufacturers has con-
tracted for the delivery of six millions
of bricks during the coming season. and
this is only one of many. The truth is
the manufacturing and building indus
tries of Indianapolis were never in a
more prosperous and promising cOndi-
ton. The recent strike will not affect
the prosperity of the city any more than
a summer breeze will affect the stability
of the soldiers monument. 1t is true
the city has been temporarily disgraced
through the imbecility of "the best gov
eminent the city ever had" but that is
not going to drive capital away. Indi-
annapolis is all right.

lest the Republican Representatives
give encouragement to free coinage by
not stepping in to prevent consideration
of the Bland bill comes, too late, even if
it We're not open to the suspicion of hav-
ing its origin in their interest in the
welfare of the Democratic party. When.
In the last Congress, the Republicans
were battling against free coinage, these
same Democrats and papers gave no
vote or word against free silver. Dur
ing the election of 1890 the free traders
and Democratic importers contributed
to secure the election of these free-coin-
age Democrats when the Republicans
opposing them were hostile to it. In
that canvass they did all they could to
defeat Republicans pledged against free
coinage. Now they call to Republican
Representatives to vote against consid
Grafton of the Bland bill, and thus
shelve the silver question until Decem-
Der. temporarily postponing it as an
issue. That way may save the Democ-
racy, but the way to defeat free silver
is to put both parties in Congress on
record on the Bland bill. Then there
will be no evasion, no deception.

ON H WAR PATH.

The Charlotte Observer formerly the
Chronicle came out on the 18th CORY
with war paint in a political way.
After telling how the Texas and Ten
nessee Democracy has acted in reading
all Of the "crazy" Sub Treasury De
m%ocratic Alliancemen out of the party
it proceeds to tell how the party in the
State ought to act. And in doing so,
it seems to be nearly as extre ne as the
Democrats of the States above named.
After getting rid of a good deal of
logic along that line, it proceeds to call
the politicians of the State "tender,
foots" and towards" We have
thought all the time that some of the
politicians Of the State could justly be
termed tenderfoots and towards, but
not in such a sweeping way. Some of
the gentlemen in North Carolina who
are active in politics, are men in every
sense Of the word. They are above
low, under hand tactics They are
willing for a reasonable and efficient
platform to be put before the people.
They are willing that there be some
thing in the platform. 1t is the ex
tremists like the editor of the Observer.
who are afraid to put anything in the
platform. That is what the row is
about. The Democratic Alliancemen,
with the help of conservative non-Alli-
ancemen, got up a very good platform
in 1890. But these extreme politicians
who are afraid of their shadows, have
been kicking more or less ever since.
This is as we see it. We may be
mistaken, but we venture the above
opinion for what it is worth, and ask
the public to consider it.

In the meantime extravaganza IN g "

rule prices and coerce lawmakers,
millionaires are made by the dozen,
palaces are built, paupers are count
less. While refOrmers, men who love
their country, men who are honest,
brave, are striving to change these
conditions, a large portion of the press,
preachers from the pulpit, are silent,
or else busy heaping SANDER and rldl-
Guile upon the heads of these patriots.
Even some of the poor fools who have
failed in business are ready to join the

NONSENSE THIS.

A Florida paper suggests that the
farmers go back to the Old shUck col
lars, bring out the old candle moulds,
reinstate the spinning wheel and loom
and do other n~onsensical things. If
this all could be done to advantage we
would be for it. But that would tend
to break up the manufacturing bust
ness. We think the factory loom has
a perfect right to supplant the old
fashioned hand loom, but the people
must get something for their products
and get manufactured goods at reason
able prices In order to be able to buy
such things. Of course a good many
people need to be more economical
than they are.

looking more useful than ever.

some other scheme, assumed it's proper
place In the St. Louis demands Just as
naturally as water seeks a level, and
why should any one wonder at it?
This plan has been the bulwark and
educator of this, the greatest reform
movement of modern times. Tt has
been read and discussed by more peo-
pie than any other economic question
of the present century. While the
tariff has been discussed at a much
greater Tenth, the few have done the
talking and writing while the many
have blindly followed. Not so with

THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY
AND IN THE TOWNS AND
VILLAGES.

1t is now perfectly evident that the
people in the country have been pay
ing more attention to the consideration
of financial questions than the people
of the towns and villages; therefore it
is nOthins but right that they should
represent themselves in the various DO
litical conventions. Every fair minded
man wants every intelligent view rep
resented and not a second hand. How
ever, wherever a man in a town or vii
lage showshe has carefully considered
the.6nancial question, those interested
and instructed in the country, should
see that such Il man represent them.
Don't be fooled however, by such as
only pretend to be interested, or by
such as will be converted suddenly to
serious inquiry after they read this ed
itOrial. Let the late convert take a
back seat until he has served a fair
term of probation to see how his faith
is. The people will hear a good deal of
hypOcrltical demOggery about trying
to array n class against another Pay
no attention to it. We wish to see the
town and the country both fairly and
freely represented in every convention,
but we don't want them to misrepre-
sent each other.

WHAT ARE THE IssUEs7

There will be bold and clearly-defined
issues before the people in the coming
campaign. The people are watching
parties and the favorites and the can
didates, to see what will be their posi-
ton. No lodging will be tolerated.
The people have declared their issues
and they will demand of any and all
man and of the party that gets their
vote, a manly and open and unequivo-
cal expression on these issues. The
Democratic party stands before the
world to day seriously divided on one
of these issues, and it has been parad-
ing the merits and claims of two of it's
champions, with the view of ascertain
ing which of the two is the stronger be-
fore the people. Wall street is intense
ly interested in the outcome. Mr.. Hill
has just finished a junketing tour
through the South. He spoke at Roam
oke, Chattanooga, Jackson, Meridian,
Birmingham, and Knoxville; and the
whole country, and especially the Hill
wing of the party, is greatly puzzled
to determine whether Mr.. Hill has any
issues. Will some one who has read
his speeches tell US where he stands on
the great issue in his own party-the
silver question? What public man,
before Mr.. Hill, was it who won the
title of "artful dodger?" Say, will
some one tell us where Mr.. Hill stands
the silver question? We have lots
of politicians who are asking the peo-
pie to vote for such a man. Clear cut
issues and bold, manly men who stand
them, are what the people are de
handing.
