temptations or Inducements to capital to

extent closes the foreign market to us

We have had. II is true. remarkable
export trade for year or two past. but 1t

conclusions in favor OF their theory from
these unusual conditions.

glorification OF the protective policy con-
fesses that however much high tariffs were
needed in the past they are no longer nee

There is, possibly, but little substantial

States towards the independent states in
the Western hemisphere.
Undoubtedly, however Spanish agents

THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY.

AS the opening gun. so to speak, In a
political way, Of one OF the great pivotal
States of the Union. the action OF the
Indiana State democracy, Wednesday last,
demands more than passing attention. Tho
platform adopted will have the effect Of
dispeling some OF the recently developed
republican Illusions

sources for some time past that the free
silver issue was dead. 1t has been espo

States. reaffrming Its mistaken faith in

The Indiana platform means that the
republicans will not bo allowed to deter

like TO so before the country In 1895 or in
1900. The big democratic States, and
Texas among them will speak out in

Of tho Chicago platform and In continued
