ILLOGICAL APPEALS TO CLASS.

Demagogues who seek to array the many
against the few have always striven to make
those to whom they appeal believe that the
few men who direct business and industry
may be more successful when the mass of
people whom they employ and for whose
products they find a market are in the most
straitened circumstances. Such foes of the
general welfare have labored to inStill into
the minds of those who work for wages
that it is for their interest to vote with the
party opposed to the one to which the most
have striven to ALLEVIATE the two elements
in production and industry, when the high
est success of both depends upon their CO.
operation. Demagogues would have wage
workers forget that the largest employment
of labor is essential to the prosperity of
those who employ and that when the larg-
est number of men are idle wages are low
est and there is a limited sale for the joint
product Of labor and capital.
In 1885, when such demagogues appealed
to the wage classes to vote for the policy
which would have brought this country to
q silver basis, because the members of cor
porations employing large numbers of men
favored the gold standard, tens of thousands
of the intelligent wage earners turned their
backs upon these would-be champions and
voted with those who employed them They
reasoned that if the men who furnish en-
ployment are confident that business will
be better if gold basis is definitely estab-
lished, there will be more employment and
more money distributed as wages; yet there
were other reasons why the wage classes
should vote with employers. not against
them Coming to the question of money, the
intelligent body of wage and salary men
reasoned that If gold is the best money for
those who use money chiefly in exchange
for goods and labor it must be the best
money to receive as wages, because it has
the greater purchase power.
Now, in 1898, when the predictions of nine
tenths of those employing labor that the
establishment of the gold basis would re-
store confidence and bring better times,
have come true, the thing that many thou
sands of wage-earners did with some hesi-
tation at the election of 1896 they should
do with confidence on Tuesday. They must
see that better times have come to the
varied industries of the country and that
the better times for the employers and 1.-THE
heads of the house have been shared by
those who work for wages and salaries in
larger and steadier employment. and in
employment for tens of thousands who
were without it two years ago. All sensible
people must have learned by the experience
of the past two years that what is best for
one of the forces in the production and dis
tribution of merchandise, or in the prose-
cution OF any business, Is best for all d.

A DEMOCRATIC DEVICE.

A sealed circular has been sent through
the mails to thousands of Republicans
which is signed by one Heinricns, the pur-
port of which is to induce Republicans to
vote against Mr.. Overstreet. The real OBJ
ject of the circular is to anger Republicans
with Col Harry B. Smith and lead them
to vote for Johnson.
This circular is sent out by the Demo-
cratic county committee; not from their
headquarters, but at their expense. 1t is
the trick of an INSCRIPTIONS and desperate
enemy. 1t would give the impression that
it was written by a friend of Colonel Smith.
and no man is more indignant concerning it
than he. When he saw the circular Satur-
day evening, in his manly. outspoken man
ner he said:
Heinrichs is neither friend nor support
er of mine, but has been engaged in making
the bitterest fight he knows how upon Mr.
Overstreet, and, with the assistance of the
cular to set the friends of each against the

ceive the support of every Republican and
every man who believes in honest money
and good government.
1t need not be stated that there is entire
accord between all of the candidates on the
Republican ticket, so that this or any cir
cular that may give any other idea is the
work of the Democratic county committee.
Neither Mr.. Overstreet nor Colonel Smith
would get vote for himself at the expense
of the others. They are Republicans, and
are loyal to the party ticket.

Hon. John W. Kern has been running up
against his record to his great embarrass-
nlent. Wherever he has gone recently to
make free-silver speeches he has been met
with extracts in the. local papers from his
sound-money speech delivered in this city
in Nav, 1896, in which he said:
Shall the owner of 80 or SO cents worth
of silver bullion be permitted to have Inc
same coined into a piece of money labeled
a dollar and made a legal tender, and shall
the WOrkingmen of the country be COM
pelled to receive this debaSed and depre-
ciated currency in payment of their wages!
Shall the 4,5000 900 depostors In the savings
average of $371 for each depositor-be paid
with a deprecated money, with dollars
worth little more than half as much as
those deposited There are now in this
country hundreds of millions of dollars OF
capital ready to be invested II the owners

put down. If a man has gold he is putting
it away until he sees how all TINS hnanclal
agitation is going to end. He knows tnar
his dollar is now worth 100 cents, but ne is
afraid if it gets away from him 1t may come
back worth only 80 cents The enactment
of a free-silVer law would result IN lneVl-
table disaster, not to those at Wnom 1t IS
aimed, but to the boys in the trencnes, 70
those who earn their bread by the sweat of
their broWS. If the country has one absorb
ing need at this time it is stability IN our
financial affairs.
When this speech was delivered Mr. Kern
thought his party would have sense enough
to get on the right side of the money ques-
ton, but when it took the wrong side he
went with it.

In the able address of John l.. Grifiths
on Governor Morton are new features re-
garding the public life of that most remark
able man which will be read with interest.
Mr.. Griffiths brings out the fact very clearly
that Governor Morton had the prophetic
vision which marks the statesman. When
President Grants proposition to annex San
Domingo was before the Senate Governor
Morton, in speech, went further and de-
clared that Cuba and Porto Rico would ulti-
mately be annexed to the United States.

In his speech at Tomlinson Hall Saturday
nighl Mr.. Bailey, of Texas. according to
the Sentiners report. said that for twelve
months the Democratic minority pointed
out to the majority the way to avoid war
by recognizing the independence of Cuba,
and that his own opinion was that the Re-
publcans would not consent to this because
they wanted to give Spain a chance to re-
conquer the island 1t is astonishing that
a person should come all the way from
Texas to Indiana to utter such idiocy as
that. But, then, if Bailey, of Indiana, went
to Texas to speak he would duplicate it.

rectly or even Indirectly connected. The
farmer finds quicker market in towns for
his produce because the great body of men
who work for wages are more fully en-
ployed and have more of the means with
which to purchase. There is more money to
expend for the maintenance of families, for
the fitting up of homes and for hundred
things which make a demand for the prod
uct of varied occupations 1t is this which
makes good times for ALL And these better
times came with the victory for sound mon
ey in 1896 They can be best continued by
keeping the Republican party in the as
tendency.
Not the least gratifying of the cheering
indications of the past two years is the
fact that the friction between employers
and employees is dying out. Both are be-
coming more tolerant. The Sovereign and
Debs element has ceased to lead labor or
CARNATIONS, and conservative men direct
the large unions. Arbitration and concilia
ton are supplanting the strike and the
lockout. The recent agreement between
the employing printers of the country and
the representatives of the typographical
unions for fewer hours a day proves how
far the better era of reason and conviction
OF interdependence has advanced.

The News evades the charges against E.
M. Johnson in connection with the Landers
transaction by asserting that the County
Commissioners value the forfeited lands as
being worth as much as the money in de-
fault. The commissioners, in report of the
school funds to the superintendent of public
instruction, have always put a value upon
forfeited lands equal to the amount of
money loaned upon them. The value of the
lands as returned by the assessors does not
average $500 a lot. They could not be sold
for that to-day, and they could not when the
$1,000 was loaned upon each Of them. The
faulty valuation is not the main offense in
the Landers case. One Democratic treas
urer had loaned Mr.. Landers money. His
Democratic successor would not take the
Landers notes. The money had to be raised.
Either Democratic bondsmen must furnish
it or it must be got from the school fund.
Mr.. Johnson assisted in getting 1t from the
school fund. Mr.. Landers had seven lots,
valued by the assessors at about $3.50 each.
They could not have been sold for 5000 at
the time of the transaction In order to loan
$1,000 on each of these lots six of them had
to be conveyed to other persons. The con-
veyances were fictitious and were made at
the time the loans were made. In few
days after they were made the lots were
decided back to Mr.. Landers. The name of
a colored man is in Mr. Johnson's handwrit-
ing The man denies that he was ever a
party to such a transaction If he was Mr..
Johnson must have known that poor col
ored man could not nave been making
bona fde purchase. If the man was not
present, then the signature in Mr.. Johnson's
hand was graver offense. Again, the inter-
est for all the loans was taken from that
made directly to Mr.. Landers. Now. it is
possible that Mr.. johnson did not know
that these transfers of land were bogus, and
he may not have known that lots appraised
at $3.50 each were not worth $1,000. If it is
possible, Mr.. Johnson is not mt man to
be auditor of Marion county.
