The industrial situation. which has
been such thorn in the aide OF the Re-
publican editors and orators since the
enactment OF the new tariff law, and tho
repeal OF the Mckinley law continues to
emphasize the lact that democratic
times" have but Just arrived.
Nowhere in the United States u the
business revival more marked than IN
the state Of Indiana Such . complete
answer has this proven to the calamity
bowls Of the Republicans that they have
become panic stricken and have set
about. with IN utter disregard Of the
peoples interests. to advance their parsi-
san ends ty preventing the return OF
good times until after the election
This movement u not entirely confined
70 Indiana, but It seems to have its origin
in the fertile brain Of the Republican
state coutroI cOuOmlttoos
The FIRST indication Of the movement
came in an interview with the Indianap-
oils Journal, in which the proprietors OF
the Merritt wooden mills expressed their
intention Of closing their mills for few
weeks to '.iuvestigste the prospects
under the new tariff bill" and determine
what reduction in wages they will be
compelled to make - result OF the en-
actment Of the new tariff law.
II will be seen At once that this y
subtsrfuge. for the raw materials from
which wooden goods are manufactured
have been made free. the price OF fuel
has been reduced and the mills are In
better shape to operate at profit than
they have been since the Mckinley bdll
was passed.
Following up this announcement from
Indianapolis comes one from st. Louis
that the Nsidsringhsus tin plate works
coutemplstssa similar shutdown. Neid'

from one Of the st. Louis districts. II

Owen, then commissioner Of labor under
President Harrison, but now Repub'
lican candidate for secretary OF state O
Indiana, violated al the provisions Of
the alien contract labor law and per

The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the attempf O
Neideringhaus 70 make political capita
in this way b amply demonstrated b,
the dispatches constantly coming ron

creased activity in the tinplate industT!

Within the last week al the factOrie
