INDIANA PRESS OPINION.
The United States is able to pay all hon.
est demands in 10O-cent dollars. But If it
were not it is quite too honest to propose
10 pay them in 50-cent dollars.-Huntingto
Herald.
Silver Democrats and Populists might just
as well work under one organization. There
is no practical difference in views and they
cannot deceive any one by a pretense of
the contrary.-Lafayette Courier.
During his stay in washington Mr.. Dole
proved himself to be a gentleman,
scholar and a statesman whom every pa
triotic American will be glad to welcome as
w-citizen.-Greensburg Review.
Mr.. Dupuy dc LONE had perfect right
to express his mind to Canalejas, but proba-
bly, he would have foregone that satisfac-
ton had he known how the thing was
going to kick.-Terre Haute Express.
Bryan and Organism were the strongest
the day he was nominated. He could have
been elected the next day, but the. sober
second thought beat him. That is the
thought that stickS.-Sullivan Union.

The Dingley law has already outrun the
Wilson law as a revenue producer, despite
the fact that the Wilson law found enor-
nous quantities Of goods awaiting to come
into the country when 1t went upon the
statute books while the conditions were
precisely the opposite when the Dlngley
bill became a law.-Covington Republican.
Have the intellectually blind as yet
learned that the Teller resolution was laid
out on the cooling board 4 it reached
the House Of Representatives? The repre-
sentatives are direct from the people, and
surely the decisive vOte>of that body is evil
dence conclusive that the free-silver sentl-
ment is not growing but would indicate the
opposite.-PeterSburg Press.
The CURRENCY system of this country is too
complicated, AID everybody knows it. The
Republican party has the business sense to
do the work and Congress ought to have
the courage to go about the work me
morey system ought to be Slmpnned, anu
so arranged that it will be impossible to
contract the currency, embarraSs the ma

1t is a strong, unanswerable fact that pro-
lection has steadily cheapened the cost OF
production and lowered the price paid by
the consumer while at the same time main
tanning the American standard OF wages
and tie American standard of living. 1t IS
an achievement which stands to the credit
of protection in the United States. This is q
matter of history and not q matter OF doc
trine.-Bluffton Chronicle.
The prediction that the enactment OF
protective-tariff law would reduce the for
eign market for our manufacturers has not
been realized. The expectation of manu-
featured articles since the enactment or
the Dingley law is greater than IN the cor
responding months of last year under the
Wilson law and amounts to $ll3UOO.UOO Tor
the first five months OF the operations OF
the Dingley laW.-NobieSville Ledger.
Mr. Teller and his associates are shouting
that It is the capitalists who are against
their proposition to pay United States bonds
in silver 1t does look as though the ''capi-
talists'' who deposited their money in saw
ings banks were at least in that way of
thinking for the savings banks OF the
States which voted against the resolution

900 0O0.-Columbus Republican.
The people of Indiana are beginning to be-
lieve that they are unjustly taxed to support
institutions for higher education. Higher
education is a luxury which should be paid
for by those receiving it and people fail TO
see the reason for such schools when their
pupils could obtain the same or better IN
struction at nonstate schools for the same
money. When the whole question is boiled

Let no man get it into his head that be-
cause he is a candidate he is either in or
'out of politics" The running for office is
only an incident of politics. 1t is the
steady-going voter, the man who believes
in his party and it's principles, who shows
his LOYALTY by talking for his principles
whether a campaign is on or not. and VINO
never fails to be at the polls He IS the
man who is in politics and not the man

The gold standard is the only fit corner
stone for safe and scientific monetary sys-
tenn. To attempt to create double stand
ard out of widely differing values is but
time wasted. There cannot be such thing.
The only safe thing to do is to establish or
rather to recognize as the standard or value
that which has value equal to what it pur-
ports to have, and which is recognized the
world over as the true measure of values,
and to use the other metal in such quaint
ties only as the government may, by It's
nledge and credit maintain at parity with

During the last few days Anderson has
located one factory that will employ hun

engagements whereby it will locate one that
will employ from two to three hundred men,
and another is knocking at the door that
will employ from three to six hundred men.
