Indiana Democrats.


Indiana's Democracy deserves the
cordial commentator of the American
people for the enunciatiOn of Demo
cratic principles in State platform
which makes a leading issue of the tar
If and the trusts and pledges the State
candidates TO faithful observance of
those principles.
The Indiana Democratic platform
opens with a declaration on the tariff
and the trusts as follows: I'VE de-
nounce the Republican party for its
surrender to and alliance with the
trusts, and we favor such action as
will suppress and destroy all trusts or
combinations TO control the production
and the price of commodities. We de.
nounce the DingIey tariff law as the
breederof trusts and semand that tariff
duties shall be ievitA for the purpose
of revenue only and limited By the
needs of the government honestly and
economically administered. We con-
demn the Republican party for refusing
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to enforce its DECISIONS
against determinations in railroad
rates. which dis riminations have been
a potent cause of the creation and
maintenance of trusts. and we demand
that the commission be given power to
sdppress this evil
This is plain pronouncement 0n the
leading issue Of the day and places In
diana Democracy in line ON the side Of
the people as against the trusts. The
peonle may rest in confidence that the
national Democracy will take the same
stand. and that the Congressional cam
paigns Of the present year and. the
Presidential campaign Of 1904 VIII be
fought on the issue OF the tariff AMI the
trusts That issue is vital indeed, and
the American public has of late receiv-
ed certain object lessons which have
aroused the popular mind to a full real
ization OF the necessity for a settle
ment. SO general Is the public urder-
standing of the trust and tariff evil at
this time that even in the ranks of the
Republican party itself there is a: dis
affection which makes harmonious par
ty action ominously difficult.
The Democratic organization In In
diana has in its State platform sound
ed a clear call to the political battle OF
1902. The Democratic party and al mt
jority of the American people will fail
in line at that call arrayed for conflict
with the tariff-bred trusts and the par
ty Of the tariff and the trusts. They
must win the fight if the country is to
be rescued from oppressive monopoly

Regulating the flow of water into
troughs and tanks is something which
causes farmers more or less anxiety
and trouble. In the plan as illustrated,
the water pipe enters near the top of
the tank, which places the valve out Of
water, thus relieving it of all danger
from rust or the collection of sediment.
Such a valve may be bought at any
hardware store. The pipe may enter
nearer the bottom Of the tank and If
the valve is kept clear the device will
still serve its purpose. Another point
in its favor is that, if desired, the valve
can he closed just as effectually when
the tank is one-fourth full as when
filed 30 the brim.

Another Phase of Pa.ernaiism.

Irrigation is an excellent thing. So Ia
the fertilization of land. The redemp-
ton of the arid lands of the West is a
desideratum. SO is help to the farmers
of the South who did not even have
seed corn from last years crop. There
is, too, just as much reason why the
d donal government should provide the
farmers of the South with seed corn
and should manure all the WORKOUT

What Pays9

The cows on many farms would be
considered first-class producers if each
of butter per year, yet it is claimed by
some of the best dairymen that 200
pounds Of butter per year from a COW
does not pay. Those who aim to make
the most butter from their herds have
the STANDARD up to 300 pounds per
year, and some fix the limit higher.
Every farmer can have the individual
members of his herd reach that
amount by breeding for better cows
every year.

National Honor sacrificed.

The beet sugar Republicans refuse
justice to Cuba because the duty on
raw sugar would have to be lowered.
The sugar trust is in favor of justice
to Cuba-provided the revision OF the
tariff applies only to raw sugar. When
it comes to touching the duty on refined
sugar the trusts regard for itself over
comes it's noble sympathy with suffer
ing Cuba.
And the administration Senator's
stand with the sugar trust. They can
get Democratic votes in plenty to aid
them in reducing or removing the du-
ties on both raw and refined sugar, but
rather than disoblige the trust the adj
ministration Senator's will let Cuba
starve. Meantime the American re-
public is disgraced before the world.
The national honor is sacrificed on the
altar of the protective tarif.-New

Actions Speak Louder than Words.
The Ohio Republican platform is
brave in its denunciation of trusts: "All
combinations that stiae competition,
control prices, limit production or I'M
duly increase profits or values, and es-
pecially when they raise the prices Of
necessities of life. are opposed to public
policy and should be repressed with a
strong hand" That hits in particular
the Food Trust. Why is the Republic
can Congress not so brave in action as
the Ohio Republican Convention is in
speech? The Republican convention
declaims against the Food Trust, the
Republican Congress refuses to remove
the tariff duties. which protect the Food
Trust from competition with foreign
meats, whose incoming would at once
smash the monopoly and reduce prices.
Actions speak louder than words.-Chi

MANY KILLED IN MINE.
Two Powder Magazines Explode in
Da1y-Wes Shaft.


Two powder magazines at the l, 200
foot level of the Daly-West mine. near
Park City. Utah, exploded early Wednes-
day morning, causing a loss of life which
could not AT once be estimated. Within
three hours twenty-seven men had been
taken out of the mine dead and several
Others had been recovered in a dazed CON
dition. These were ali brought out
through the Ontario mine shaft, a mile
from the Daly-West, in which the explo-
sion occurred. The ! ,200-fOot level OF the
Daly-West corresponds to and is con-
nected by tunnel with the 60O-fo0t level
OF the Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100
and $50 men We're at work. In the On
tario were nearly 100. It is not known
how many Of them are dead. There are
two powder magazines at the l,200-foOt
leyel OF the DAILY West-one at each side
Of the shaft-with a capacity OF one to
swo ears Of powder each.
The explosion occurred at an hour
when every person in town was asleep
0r at workl The shock was 50 great that
it awakened everyone withia a radius Of
several miles. As an example Of its
awful force il Is told that two horses in
the ore tunnel one and a half miles away
were killed by il.
Excitement was tremendous. Every
person in the town had friends or rela-
tives working in the mine, and women
and children thronged to the Ontario
shaft house. midway between Park City
and the Daly-West Nearly all Of them
had husbands or fathers in the mines.
and their grief was pifiable.
