INDIANA PRESS OPINION.

by their fruits you shall know them"
The fruits of Democratic administration
are hard times.-Vevay Revielle.
Unsound tariff and unsound money Is the
motto that Democrats are expecting to carry
to the polls next fall.-Richmond Telegram
Say what we may about Grover Cleveland.
it will not be denied that he has redeemed
one pledge made by his party four years ago
to reduce the treasury surplus. = Parke
County Journal.
Every Democrat who has gumption enough
to keep out of the fire will be glad of Re-
publican success next fall, for in such success
ne sees by faith return to prosperity in
this country.-Lebanon Patriot.
The man who is talking the most about
the benefits of free silver knows the least
about it. as a rule. 1t is like the free-trade
talk we heard four years ago-all nice enough
in theory. but no good in practice.-Bloom-
field News.
that protection is necessary for the pros
perity of the country, but the country will
look TO the natural party of protection-the
Republicans-for the proper protective legis-
lation.-Goshen Times.
The advisabiIity of holding the State Re-
publican convention two days. instead of
one is being agitated. One day Is certainly
pulling and red-tape proceedings are elimin-
ated.-Mishawaka Enterprise.
Free trade" and "free coinage Of silver
don't mean freedom to American workmen,
by any means. 1t means slavery at starva-
ton prices and starvation to thousands who
cannot earn the worth of a free-coined dol
lar or a free-trade article.-Auburn Dispatch.
Give us a tariff law that will yield a rev.
enue sufficient to pay the government ex-
penses and that will restore the American
markets to the American farmer and wage
Garner. and our money troubles will disap-
pear, and with them the free-coinage clamor.
-Rushville Republican.
At no time since 1861 were so many Demo-
Gratis coming over to the Republican party.
The pressure of the hard times and the de-
sire for protection and reciprocity is what Is
causing 1t. Democracy brought on the civil
war and Democracy inflicted the hard times
on the country.@Rockport Journal
The question What shall we do with our
ex-Presidents?" is again being revived. That
question is not, in Importance, to be COM
pared to that Of what are we going to do
with the honest workingmcn of our country
who vanly seek employment and what are
we going to do for them."-Knightstown Sun.
1t is a beautiful financial record that the
Democracy will present to the country this
year as plea for a renewal Of its lease Of
power-a balance sheet showing vast excess
of government expenses over government in
come and the adverse difference shouldered
off on posterity at good stin rates OF inter-
est.-Richm0nd Palladium.
The proposition to extend the Republican
State convention over two days should pre-
vail. There are so many candidates and
some of the contests will necessarily be so
long that 1t will not be possible TO do justice
to all in day. Give the subject two days,
then all interests can be given proper atten-
ton. Republicans are not in a hurry this
year. Let them have ample time.-kokomo
Tribune.
II man is at work by the day. week or
month he trusts his employer to the end OF
that day. week or month. When he is paid he
wants good money! hundred-cent dollar.
IL he succeeds in saving some OF his wages
and putting those saved dollars in bank
he wants to be sure that he can check out
just as good dollars as he puts in The work.
ingman has most vital interest in the
money Observation-Disclosures Republican.
In the absence of anything better. we would
suggest that Mr.. Cleveland may save time
and trouble by clipping out Mr.. Carlisle's
letter, attaching his own name to IL and
changing the address to ITO whom il may
concern" He would thus satisfy a long
standing demand for definite utterance on
his personal attitude toward the presidential
campaign. and would decline third term
while leaving the way open TO accept it.
