VIEWS OF INDIANA EDITORS.

Yes, the Democratic party is a good par
ty-to keep out of power.-Vevay Reveille.
TIL literary club that black-balled Gov
ernor Mount lowered itself several points
in the estimation of the people, and the
Governor will not regret it.-Orleans Elk
aminer.
The foundation of all prosperity, as of
all wealth, is labor; and a protective tariff
secures to the American people an oppor-
tunity and a demand for labor.-Elwood
Call-Leader.
Thu tariff "reformers" seem to be will
ing to do still more reforming" regard
less of the damages they have already per-
Advocate.
If the Democrats in Congress insist on
delaying action on the tariff bill at the
present time they will be responsible for
delaying the general Improvement of bust
ness.-Seymour Republican.
The sublime impudence of Mr.. Grover
Cleveland in attempting to rebuke the Re-
publicans for settling the tariff question
before taking up financial legislation has
seldom been surpassed.-Goshen Times.
The Democratic sound-money leaders
seem to forget the important fact that it
is necessary to correct their party's tariff
policy before anything can be done in the
way OF monetary retorm.-ShelbyVille Re
publican.
The indianapolis Literary Club voted on
last Monday night not to admit Governor
James A. Mount to membership. The club
mas cast a great diScredit on itself, but
we think the Governor has escaped some
BAD asSociates.-Cannelton Enquirer.
To delay beneficial legislation and thus
make trouble for the Republican party is
the most important thing in the Democratic
mind. To make prosperity for the people
is a matter of secondary consideration with
the Democracy.-RushvilIe Republican.
What the work people of this country
need is legislation which will create a de-
mand for their labor. A tariff which per-
mits our markets to be filled with merchan-
disc which can be made at home destroys
the demand for labor.-Mount Vernon Sun.
The indianapolis Literary Club, or rather
five of the members, black-balled Governor
Mount, and assign as a reason for so doing
That he is a farmer. This will not lower
the Governor in the estimation of sensible
people, but as much cannot be said of
those who black-balled him for the reason
a~sstgned.-Parke County Journal.
The photograph of the five members of
the Indianapolis Literary Society who
black-balled Governor Mount has been Sc
cured and will be struck off on a single
card and used for weaving calves. Farm
ers will simply tie the photograph to the
COW S tail. one glance of the calf at the
complete. There is no patent on his de-
vice and it can be used for weaving colts,
also.-Liberty Herald.
This first step toward prosperity, as Pres
ident Mckinley has said, is open mills
which will give work to the people. Mills
will open only when a tariff law is passed
Which will protect those mills and enable
them to produce at a profit. Some revival
in business there has been because of the
prosperity will not come until such protec-
ton is an actually. That it will come
then we need not doubt.-Knightstown Sun.
People. who are complaining that the
business conditions of 1892 nave not yet re-
sumed should remember that a tariff bill
cannot be framed and passed in a min
ute or a month. 1t was eighteen months
after Grover Cleveland became President
before the Wilson tariff bill was a law, but
there is good reason to believe that the
Dlngley bill will become a law in less than
eighteen weeks after the inauguration of
time has not yet passed.-Crawfordsville
Journal.
Democrats inclined to censure the Repub-
lican party for not bringing back pros
perity on a jump should remember that
Democrats are now standing in the way
of the most important requisite, namely.
a tariff measure. In view of the many
assertions, it was reasonable to believe
that Democratic members of Congress
would give the Republican party full rein
to do what ii can, but Democratic Senators
stubbornly refuse to agree on a time for
reporting the tariff measure to the Senate.
