pairs of old. s125.O00 has been expended on
the construction of a soldiers home. and
100000 to complete the soldiers monument.
All this has been accomplished in the face
of smaller tax levy than that of the Dem
ocrats. In 1891 the Democrats increased
the levy to is cents on each 800 for the
general fund. In 1895 the Republicans re-
duced the levy for the general fund to
cents. The fee and salary law which the
Republicans passed in 1895 resulted in
saving of many thousands of dollars, not
only to counties. but to the State. For
instance, the insurance department, which
is bureau of the state auditors office col
lected as fees from insurance companies
since 1895 1885, $3.50 If the Democratic
fee and salary act had been in force the
state auditor would have been entitled to
s13S.ss2 of this amount. These, however,
are only few OF the many achievements
of Republican administration in Indiana.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT STATE
FINANCES.

One of the topics which excites some of
the Democratic papers is the State debt
Some of them get excited and indulge in
incoherent remarks, claiming credit for the
present reduction. The figures which State
Auditor Hart furnished the Republican
state committee in an exhaustive article
prepared by him should cause the Demo-
cratic managers and editors to steer clear
of State finances. In 1861. when the Re-
publicans came into power in Indiana. the
State debt was sl0.179.267 Republicans
practically controlled affairs most of the
time until 1870, when the debt was reduced
to s4.167, 5O7. Then the Democrats had a
season of control, increasing the debt to
s4.99S,17S in 1850. Thereafter the control
was chiefly in the hands of the Democrats,
so that the State debt in 1891 was S, S31, 615.
In 1895, when the Republicans came into
power. the debt was s7.52O615-a reduction
of s1,3lOo00. but $4,000 of this reduction
was due TO the payment of a federal war
claim, so that the actual reduction for
which any party claim could be made for
that period was $4,000. In 1895 the Repub-
licans practically came into power. and the
debt began TO diminish by hundreds OF
thousands every six months. The last pay
ment was made Aug. !, 1902, 100000. which
reduced the States bonded Indebtedness to
81. sS7. 615. the debt at the present time. 1t
should be said that a considerable portion
OF this last payment came from a federal
war claim which had been prosecuted 10
success by Republican officials in the
State and in Congress. Thus, during the
| period the Republicans have been in power

AS TO TIN PLATES.

The fact that tin plates sold at
dollar a box more in this country than in
England has proved a godsend to the free
of the few articles which costs more in
this country just now by nearly the
amount of the tariff. and it is a delight to
the enemies of home production to find
one such example to cite as one of many
which they cannot name.
Now that the matter is up again, IL may
be we'll to restate a few facts about tin
plates. For many years the Welsh man.
ufacturers enjoyed a monopoly of the tin
plate business. sThey practically consti-
tuted trust which made the prices made
them very high. In 1872 an effort was made
to make tin plates in this country. The
duty on the article then was Is per cent
ad valorem, and plates were selling in 1873
at $l2 box. A factory was started in 1872
and others followed in 1873 and subsequent
years until 1876. The promoters of the en-
terprise were attracted by the high price.
In February. 1875 the duty was increased
TO IL cents a pound. The Welsh competi-
tors cut prices until they reached the level
of $50 a box. Unable to withstand this
competition, all the American factories
were closed. leaving the market TO the
British competitors. What was the result; ?
Although tin cheaper than when the
price was $3.50 box. the price was ad-
vanced to 50 and $40 box In 1879.
Again American capitalists were tempted
BY the high prices Of 1850 to start the plate
