soLDIERs, FRIEND OWENS.

The Sentinel publishes this morning an
account Of a little inclden; in the political
career of Mr.. owen. the republican candl-
date for secretary of state; Rieh VIII be
of interest to the cd soldiers ~ the state
Mr.. Owens victim was Capt. AIuI of
Logansport. and his own account Of his
treatment by the foxy candidate VIII be
accepted as strictly true by al who know
him. He is q quiet, modest unpretendous
man. who has learned by experience that
the promises Of politicians cannot always
be relied upon, even when made in the
presence Of others. and guaranteed by TIE
most solemn assurances. or when in ac-
cordance with the expressed wishes Of a
large majority Of the party in the commu-
nifty.
According to Capt. Null there were three
stages in the deception and ignomlny
thrust upon him. In the first pace the
office was expressly promised to him and
given to another. In the second pace a
promise was made that this appointee
would resign and the office would be given
to Null. and this was never done. In the
third place an attempt was made to buy
Null off by giving him part Of the salary
Of a place he did not fiji in any way. and
to which he could never conscientious.y
lay claim. The latter was adding Insult
to injury 1t was bad enough to deceive
the man in the first place. 1t was worse
TO keep him dancing attendance under the
absurd pretense that the man. who had the
necessary pull to get the appointment
would give it up and let Null take it. L
was still worse to offer an honest man a
practical bride Of $500 a year to soothe
his wounded feelings. And Mr.. Owen had
no right to take away from the incumbent
Of this second office $500 of his salary. The
salary is fixed by law, and 1t belongs to
the man who fills the Office and does the
work. II he does not draw it no other
person has the right to do so.
Capt. MulTs record as a soldier adds to
the interest Of the matter. The repub-
lican party sets itself up as the peculiar
guardian of the veterans Of the civil war,
but it has frequently been reproached by
them for its forgetfulness Of its guardian
ship when It comes to the distribution
of offices. This is a peculiarly aggravated
case, and it is not strange that Capt. Null
and his friends are indignant over his
treatment

THE INCOME TAX.
The following striking observation is
made by our republican cont emporary
the ST. Louis Glohe-Daranerat:

The following striking observation is
made by our republican contemporary.
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Neither party is attacking the income
tax AT present. Nevertheless this impost
never would have been adopted had the
republicans remained in power.
The truth of it depends very much on
where the remark is made. The repub-
lican party is fighting the income tax in
New York and some other eastern states,
and is saying as little as possible about
it in the western and southern states.
1t was announced that the republican
campaign book would contain a vigorous
assault on the income tax, but that val
liable document contains nothing on the
subjects but extracts from the New York
Herald, New York Sun, Charles NOrd-
hoff, Congressman Hendrix and Senator
Hill, all New York authorities, and all
democratic authorities. This is another
instance of the funny republican idea Of
making a fight on quotations from the
opposition when they have either too lit
tie courage or too little sense to make
the same fight for themselves.
But there is something very suggestive
in the statement of the Globe-Democrat
that the income tax never would have
been adopted had the republicans re-
manned in power" Most certainly it
would not. The republican party would
never levy any tax that would make
accumulated capital pay its share Of the
expenses of the government. And it Will
go further than that if it gets into power.
1t will repeal the income tax without
moments hesitation. just as it VIII every
reform law that the democratic party
has enacted. That is what the republican
party is here for. 1t is the tool Of con-
centrated capital, and it will do what
ever it is commanded to do to favor CON
centrated capital. No one need be de-
csived as TO that. The republican party
has made IT'S record in that line one
of the first taxes it reduced, and then re-
pealcd. when the conclusion Of the war
permitted it. was the old income tax.
And that it is still Of the same mind is
shown by its more recent declaration that
it would repeal every internal revenue
tax rather than give UP a jet Of its pro
lection to the tariff robbers.
The income tax viii never be repealed
so long as the democrats are in power.
The party in New York has seen fit to
object to it. but all through the West
and South the party stands firmly by
the new tax and viii continue to 60 SO.
But the influences that contro+ the re-
publican party in the West a2d South
are opposed to the income Il and asl,
only an opportunity to get into power to
destroy it. The two parties are squlrely
in issue on the question, and the people
understand it. The republicans will gain
nothing by their halfway fighting.

THE TEMPLATE OUTRAGE.

The beginning Of work in the largest tin
plate works in the world at Anderson IS
very conclusive evidence Of the falseness
of the calm that tin-p,ate factories already
constructed cannot afford to run on the
existing scale of wages Our latest in
formation is that under the orders of the
tin-plate combine every factory in the coun-
try has closed down with the exception
of the Mo0reWood plant at Gas City. The
probable reason why it did not is that its
proprietor, J. II. Rogers, is in Wa.es. Here
is one of those declarations Of wealth" to
which Senator Voorhees, so truthfully re-
ferred as formed to restrict wages and
Cypress worlingmen. and one which de-
serves to be soundly punished for its mean
ness
There was no excuse for its action.
Every condition was most favorable for
pushing work. Each individual manu-
facturer saw 1t, and the tin-plate factories
had started up ali over the country and

Reader, Union City: A shutdown of the

This reduction has come by steps of
one-sixteenth Of cent, and will be
seen by the comparative statement at
the head of the editorial columns it puts
sugar from / to cents a pound lower
on various grades one year ago. 1t Is
also lower than it was two years ago.
This result establishes the principle for
which The Sentinel contended, which was
that the domestic price of sugar is not
controlled by tariff rates, but by the
sugar trust. On the face of the PROPOSE
ton, on general principles, the imposition
of a tax of practically a cent a pound
on raw sugar ought to increase the price
Of refined sugar, but as matter of fact
the sugar trust, under the Mckinley law,
was exacting a profit on sugar four or
five times as great as it's protection" of
slx-tenths OF a cent. Either the new law
in some way takes away its power 10 do
this, or 1t is in some way controlled by
some other influence. But whatever may
be the case as to that, sugar is in fact
cheaper than it has been for many years,
dL THIS TIME Oh the year, anu II udS ldlleIl
steadily since The Sentinel began call
ing attention to the market price.
The Sentinel is not making any claim
that a fall of one-sixteenth of a cent
a pound in the price of sugar makes any
material difference in the expenses of an
average family. It does not believe that
a movement Of price to the amount Of
cent, in either direction, would make a
mlterial difference in the cost of living
That is not the point. 1t is simply estab-
fishing the principle that tariff rates
alone do not control the price of sugar,
and that the new tariff has not, in fact,
Increased the price to the consumer.
Whatever there has been Of narrowness
in the discussion Of the sugar question
has been on the republican side, in the

These are the official average prices of
the bureau of statistics OF the United
States. They are all on a gold basis. 1t
will be seen that they show a material
differ nce in average prices in the differ
ent months of each year, but the prices
are almost always lower in October than
in the preceding months. Whether wool
has risen or fallen permanently can be
shown only by record of prices extend
ing over number Of months. but that a
mere change OF the tariff would cause it
to fall is very difficult to believe in the
face Of the recorded fact that it has fallen
steadily under the tariffs specially de-
signed to keep up its prIce-even under
the Mckinley law itself. OF course spa-
cial dates can be picked out in almost
any year that would show higher than the
average. but they are always produced
by special and temporary causes. 1t is
certain, however, that wool did advance
slightly after the passage Of the tariff law.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-10-10

Bynum and other democrats have said
was that wool advanced after the passage
Of the bill over the prices that obtained
just before the passage of the bill. and
this is strictly true. No one has said that
wool is higher now than it was one year
ago or two years ago. 1t is a notorious
fact that wool has fallen steadily for years
under the efforts to keep it up by tariff
taxes. and 1t will probably take as many
years to regain its Old position.
To Illustrate the movements of wool,
we give the following statement Of the
average price Of medium washed cloth
ing wool for four months Of each Of the
following years:

DO NOT MOVE.
IL You Do You VIII Probably Lose
Your Vote.

Democrats should make ii a point not
to change their place of residence until
after election day.
The election law OF Indiana requires
that a voter must have resided previous
TO the election day six months in the
state. sixty days in the township and
thirty days in the precinct in which he
IS to vote. 1t will. therefore. be appar-
ent that if a man mas changed his place
of residence from one township to an
other since Sept. he has lost his vote,
and that if he changes his residence
after Oct he will also lose his vote.
Democrats should therefore make ii a
point not TO change their place of resi-
dence till after election day.

NARROwNEss IN POLITICS.

There is occasionally heard a com
plant Of narrowness in politics, and there
IS usually good support for it. The ten
dency Of mankind is toward narrowness
in everything in which there is intense
personal interest. You viii frequently
see lidgant, and sometimes an attor-
ney, Who becomes so wrapped. up in his
side of the case that he believes every
one on the other side to be dishonest,
IL not worse. and whose estimate of the
good qualities Of every one on his side
grows higher and higher each day If
the judge decides in his favor a second
Daniel has come to judgment If he de-
cides against him he has been bought.
This is human nature. and it manifes,s
itself very frequently in politics. There is
also narrowness shown in appeals to the
ignorance, or to the baser passions Of
voters, which Is deserving of rebuke, and
So perhaps, with the magnifying of un-
important matters. The Sentinel is not
often accused of narrowness by its con-
temporaries. Ii is generally recognized
to stand for principles. and to stand for
them boldly and consistently. Tt is there
fore somewhat surprised by the following
assault from its evening contemporary.
the Sun:
About the narrowest bit of political
capital that the democracy has yet
brought into use IS that One-siXteenth of
a cent per pound decline in sugar. On,
they draw the line mighty fine these
times.
The Sun is apparently hbOring under
the impression that thing is small in
principle because il is small in amount.
Il would probably denounce as a peanut
politician the man who said. Millions

As a matter of flct. the movement Of
sugar prices is usually by sixteenths
There is seldom a movement of prices
either greater or less than that amount
The Sentiners various editorials on sugar
have all been for the maintenance of a
principle-or, perhaps better. a theory.
1t was claimed by the republican press
everywhere 1.-THE beginning of the cam
paign that the new tariff had increased
the price Of sugar. The Sentinel has
shown that in fact it has not increased
it above the Mckinley prices. The re-
publican press declared that sugar would
rise steadily in price and make "a dear
breakfast table" The Sentinel has shown
that in fact it has fallen, as appears by
the following Journal quotations for
Aug. %, our first publication. and for

4 MANLY LETTER.

Republican papers in the gas belt are
trying to prejudice the Hon. w. D. By
mum with the glass makers by publishing
the following letter:

d. c., Oct. a, 1898 Messrs. b. O. Nor
cross, Charles ]. Hoffman, Elwood,
Ind:
Dear Sirs-I am in receipt Of yours of
the nth inst. inclosing certain sundry
petitions. numerously signed, addressed
TO me requesting that l use my influence
as a represe ntative in congress to pre-
vent a reduction of the tariff on window
glass. After five successive campaigns
in which 1 advocated, without reserve, a
reduction of existing duties, 1 cannot be-
lieve that there is an intelligent voter in
the Seventh congressional district, which
l have the honor to represent, that did
not, when he cast his vote, understand
my view on this important question. 1
shall not at this time undertake 10 dem
onstrate that the present rates of duties
on window glass ara unnecessarily and
eXorbibntly high and ought 10 be re-
duced. 1 am firmly convinced that such
is the case. and L would be an unworthy
deavOr 70 carry out the principles which
1 have so unfaltering.y advocated and
which 1 sincerely believe to be for the
best interests of the people. Yours truly.

The Sentinel does not believe that Mr.
Bynum can be harmed by that letter.
This is a tariff-reform district, and it is
a district that believes in manly, out
spoken representatives. OF what use
would it b. for a majority to elect rep
resentative if a minority could step in
afterward and bu.ldoze him into doing
what he had pledged himself net to do?
We would like 10 have this letter placed
in the hands Of every voter in the dis
trlct. 1t will make votes for Mr.. Bynum
everywhere. This country has come to a
condition in watch it needs men who are
not afraid to proclaim their principles,
and VINO stick TO their principles after
they are elected.
