The New York Advertiser says that
lit is conceded even by Democrats that
the present tariff must CO." Is that so?
When has any body of Democrats made
such declaration? Did not the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate and the Populists to
a man declare that it must stand? Every
Democrat in Congress has within six
months voted against an amendment to
the present tariff which would have in
creased the revenues to level with the
expenditures. The Advertiser seems to
be ignorant of current events.

themselves to portraying the dangers
which beset the Republicans in making
a nomination for President to the fact
that the Democratic national convention
will be controlled by a free-coinage ma
jority. The Republicans, when they as
semble in st. Louis will adopt a sound
money platform. and the man who is
nominated will stand upon it. If the
Eastern Democrats support the same
candidate as the majority will probably
nominate they will vote for a man ac-
ceptable to the Southern Democracy on
a free-coinage or meaningless platform.

While there are quite a number Of Re-
publicans in the Eighth district who
would make excellent Representatives in
Congress, the convention could not have
selected better man than Charles l..
Henry. He is not only a very able man.
but he is sincere and honorable, and has
the courage Of his convictions. The adj
mirable canvass which he made in this
district two years ago contributed large
ly to the result of the election. He stands
in the front rank of the able and useful
men in the Republican party in Indiana.
1t is alike fiattering to Mr.. Henry and
creditable to the convention that he was
nominated by reclamation.

foreign wool, Mr.. Mount probably thinks
that they have future. If not here
after. Anyhow. he is not the kind OF
man to kick sheep because 1t is down.
Meanwhile. let US see what the repeal
of the duty on wool has cost farmer
Mount. His clip of go f7eeces weighed
1892 pounds and brought Is cents a
pound, total of $34ssO. From 1885 to
1894 the average price in the United
States Of Ohio Xxx washed wool was 81
cents. Mr.. Mount sold his wool on the
18th inst. for Is cents a pound. On the
18th OF May. 1889. the market reports of
the Journal quoted wool in this city at
the same on the 18th Of May, 1890. 1891
and 1892. The market report Of May Is.
1888, quoted it at Is to IL cents a pound,
and May, 1894, IL to Is cents. The Jour-
nal of May is, 1895, quoted medium un-
washed, IL cents; fine merino unwashed,
s cents: Cotswold. 10 to IL cents" Those
were bottom prices and represented the
deepest depths of Democratic tariff re-
form. Since then there has been little
reaction in the price of wool. If Mr..
Mount had sold at the average price
which prevailed from 1855 to 1894. say 20
cents, his clip would have brought
1864 68, instead of $343.S0. The difference.
$320.SS, represents what Democratic tariff
reform has cost farmer Mount on wool
alone this year. 1t has cost him as much
per annum for three years past. and has
cost hundreds of thousands OF other

THE MONUMENT AND ITS DESIGNER

The present visit to this city Of Mr..
Bruno Schmitz, architect Of the soldiers
monument, is a pleasing incident in its
history and likely to prove beneficial
one. Mr.. Schmitz had never seen the
monument before this visit. Though he
was it's creator, he had never beheld 1t.
He was here when the foundation was
being put in, but not since. The monu-
ment existed in his mind, and he knew
how 1T ought to look, but not how it did
look. He was somewhat apprehensive,
as any artist would be under the circum-
stances. Chat it might not meet his ex
pectations. He has always been deeply
interested in the success of the work.
When he designed this monument 1t was
the greatest that he had designed up to
that time, though he has designed far
more costly ones in Europe since. He
calls this the child of his fancy" In a
sense he built his heart into it. though
he has since put his heart in better
keeping. This visit has removed all ap-
prehension as 20 the appearance Of the
monument. Mr.. Schmitz finds that 1t
looks as he thought it should, barring
some departures in details from his
nate, but they do not mar the real great
ness of the work, and, besides, they can
be, for the most part, remedied. The
broad base, the noble shaft, the beauti-
full proportions, the true lines, the gen.
eral effect, the artistic and historic OBJ
ject lesson are all there, and these make
the monument Mr.. Schmitz was some
what fearful that he might find the loca-
ton Of the monument circumscribed, the
space too small for its proportions. In
this he is agreeably disappointed. He
pronounces Monument place a beautiful
location, spacious, appropriate and inn
pressive. He is unstinted in praise of the
construction and workmanship of the
monument. This refers to the stone
work, not to the fountains After care
full examination of the monument from
bottom to top, close inspection Of many
stones particularly difficult to shape and
place, scrutinizing every rod and joint
and every arch in the foundation, he
gives his unqualified approval to the ex-
manship. 1t is something to have pub
lie work done by American artisans in
such a way as to elicit the unqualified
approval of one of the first experts in
Europe. 1t should be gratifying, also.
for the people Of Indiana to know that
they have in their State capital a work
of art which, in its main features, is not
surpassed by any similar work in the
world, and that its creator, now the ac-
knowledged head OF his profession in
Europe, is entirely willing to accept it
as part of his life record. Mr.. Schmitz
is clear and decided in his opinion that
the War and Peace groups which are still
to be Incorporated in the monument
should be of stone. the material Of the
monument itself, and his idea will be
carried out. Pursuant to his sugges-
ton, also. the position of the statues now
surrounding the monument will be
changed to the grass plars. and as soon
as practicable the present fountains will
be removed and new ones constructed on
broader PLAN In these and other ways
Mr.. Schmitz's visit is likely to prove of
great and enduring benefit.

/. The street-car strike in Milwaukee Is ac~
companied by peculiar incidents. 1t has
been in progress two or three weeks and has
been peaceful. with the exception Of only a
few riotous incidents at the start. The old
employees OF the street-car corporation hold
entirely aloof and the only disturbances thai
have occurred proceeded from hoodlums with
no interest In the cause Of the employees nor
In the origin of the strike nor In It's results.
This disorderly element has been suppressed
mainly through the Efforts Of the peaceful
striking street railway employees.
The Milwaukee cars are running on al
the lines, on the usual time tables without
obstruction or hncrance Motornen and
conductors have been imported In SUFFICIENT
number to operate as many cars as were re-
quired by the regulations before the strike.
But the cars. comparatively speaking, have
no passengers 1t is saii that On all the
| lines the aggregate Of travel does not exceed
1000 passengers a day. with gross receipts
of $50. The usual street-car traffic Of the
