Tariff, to be the Absorbing
Thought.

indianapolis, Ind, May 81
Interest in the Republican State
Convention. which meets in this
city on Thursday. became very
apparent to-day, when several
of the candidates for the Gubers
material nomination arrived and
opened quarters at the hotels.
The candidates present include
Frank B. Posey. of Evansville;
Charles F. Griffiu, of Hammond,
Theodore 5hockney, of Union
City. Each is attended by a half
hundred enthusiastic friends.
who will assist IN steering the
delegates into their quarters.
Charles T. Doxey, the mills
lionaire ex-Congressmar, of An
derson. will be here to morrow
accompanied by a brass band,
and the campaign in this city
will be spirited till the fight in
the convention results in a NOM
nation.
There was d conference yes
terday afternoon between a num-
Der of local Republicans regard
ing the several planks to be en-
braced in the platform. and a
draft of the instrument was
taken to Elk President Harrison
at MS residence for approval. He
declined to redraft the inssru~
ment, but said he believed the
party should give utterance to a
conservative sentiment in res
spect to the tariff, and should De
as pronounced as possible on the
money question. He favored an
unequivocai declaration in favor
of the gold standard. saying that
the money question and not the
tariff would be the issue between
the two parties this year. The
republicans who visited him re-
fused to given out the exact
terms Of the tariff plank, but
said that it would require
little if any modification to meet
his wishes. It was determined
to rewrite the money plank and
make it as strong as language
could express the party's posi-
ton.

and tho knowledge of this fact
presepls another spectacle, as
we have recently witnessed. Dur
ing the last three years our gov
ernnenf. puder the gold stand
ard. has turdenea the people
with al. addttional debt of nearly
5000, 600 900. including principal
and interest, aad the whole debt
has to be paid with a circulation
that every dollar we ave has ~
pass through the hanos Of the
tax collectors each year.
All the abstract and subtle
theories of so-called economic
writer's does not hasea feathers
weight upon the people, when
the farmer has the stubborn facts
staring HIM in the face that the
price of lis produce does not
equal the cost of production. and
the laborer does not receive
enough lay to provide the me-
cessities for his family.
Would that I had the power to
convey my Thoughts with winged
words to arouse the masses and

The busiest and most useful men

Especially are they liable to be at
lacked and completely disabled by that
most annoying and painful ai1rnent-
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at any time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbeatable
mental anguish at the thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supp1anted by a condition of utter
he1p1essness. Under the effects of
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-

are robbed of heir usefulness.

Iagitated a great many people

wrote January l., yeal /, then we,
when we write January 1, 1900,
mean that the 1900th year has
just begun, and we must wait
twelve months before we can

Major Mckinley and His Visitors.

1t does one good to go to Canton and
to meet and talk with the man who is
to be chief magistrate of the greatest
republic during the coming four years
1t gives one additional pride in his
country and its democratic spirit. You
find nothing but true, manly American
simplicity Of manner and habit in the
home of the President elect. Major
Mckinley is as approachable as any
private citizen. 1t is easier To get at
him than it is to get at the average
head of d mercantile house or bank
president. The truth is. about all you
have 10 do is to walk in, and there You
are. A foreigner visiting in Canton
asked his local friend, Please take me
past the residence of your president
elect. | want to see where he lives, for
| know it is impossible to see him. -
The friend smiled and promised To take
him where he could see the house at
least. They walked up North Market
street under the Mckinley arch and
entered dooryard from which every
blade of grass had been trampied by
hundreds of thousands OF feet. The
foreigner commented upon the absence
Of a sentry from the gate and asked if
there were no soldiers on guard about
the premises. No. not even a police
man or a dog.
To the amaZement of the visitor
from across the sea the door was
opened without a ring at the bell and
without any announcement or presen
tation of cards. They had no sooner
entered the little hall than man with
stocky figure. smooth face and lumin-
Gus eyes under heavy eyebrows came
forward from the library at the right
to greet them. 1t was the president
elect himself If the foreigner was
surprised at this manifestation of true
Republican simplicity he was a little
later both amazed and delighted. AS they
took seats and the PresidenteleC
started the conversation, his perfect
tact soon showed itself. First. he asked
the foreigner some questions which
quickly placed that rather startled
gentleman at his ease and led him to
think the American President-elect
had taken a great fancy to him and
might ask him to become an American
and member of the cabinet. The
Canton caller Major Mckinley had had
but little acquaintance with, but he
drew upon his remarkable memory and
presently asked after the visitors
