keep the compensation Of the laborer
and the producer on a parity with the
value of the dollar and not allow the
dollar to unequally purchase either the
labor Of the working man or the pro-
duct of the producer.
The burden of the tariff in its last
analysis falls upon the producer, be-
cause he is the man that makes the
wealth that meets the expense. The
tariff destroys foreign competition and
trusts destroy domestic competition.
am against both. You can never break
I'D the trusts until the tariff Is revised
and articles manufactured by the
trusts should be put on the free list.
All burdens and injustices growing out
Of iniquitous legislation fall upon the
producer. This unjust legislation Is
brought about by the filling Of our ma
tional legislature with men owned and
controlled by corporate greed. There
fore, the remedy of the people is the
election of a man from the people who
will stand by and fight for the rights
Of the people, who, in a word, Is by
sympathy and interest servant Of the
people, and not of predatory wealth.
1t must be admitted by all classes Of
legitimate business mer that the bur-
den of the day and the menace Of the
future has grown out Of manipulation
Of our laws by unprincipled financial
pirates.
We have had in the last few days a
practical illustration Of what Is meant
by cutting the timber from the water
sheds in the mountainous regions Of
our state. The damage done cannot be
calculated. Therefore, should use all
efforts possible to have such national
legislation passed as would protect US,
if possible in the future from a repeti-
ton of this disaster. There are mil
lions of acres Of valuable land in our
low country which could be made
available for farming purposes by a
system of drainage, and which would
bring a maximum result for mini
mum Of expenditure Of money. should
use every endeavor to bring about the
passage Of such law as would make
the drainage Of our low lands possible.
am in full accord and sympathy
with the platform Of the national DEM
ocratic party and its candidate.
In a word, think that have proved
to the people Of the south that I shall
stand for any and all legitimate legis-
lation that looks to the betterment OF
the condition Of my country.
Whether elected or not, my time and
services shall be at the disposal OF
those organizations which are striving
to better the price Of cotton.

nous flowing beard was cut or, oth-
ers that il was merely painted. In this
guise he was led through the streets OF
Rrussa and subjected to every indig-
nity in spite of his entreaties to be
killed at once-a punishment his In
ordinate pride would probably have
preferred. After hours Of this physi-
al and mental torture he was releas-
ed with the remark that nobody would
soil his sword with the blood of such
a reptile. Deeds like these cannot be
approved, but they are almost excus-
able when all the circumstances are
taken into consideration.
1t must not be thought that these
acts of revenge proceed from the
committee of union and progress, who
have done and are doing all In their
power to arrest acts Of summary ret
ribution. But it is materially impos-
sible at the present moment, when the
old order has been overthrown and
the new has not yet been built up, to
hinder the pent up passions of years
from finding here and there safety
valve, and for this reason the occa-

possibly is but the lesser Of alternate
evils and must not be too harshly
Judged. Those who have been born
and lived in civilized Europe may find
this hard to accede to, but nobody
who has lived in Turkey will have any
difficulty in understanding the situa-

greatest danger would seem to be al

as satisfactorily overcome. 1t is al
most incredible that so many victo-

such a trifling cost, but nothing Is
surer than that the old regime Will
die very hard. The solid fabric of
half a thousand years cannot be raZed

bridges and other improvements which
have been made.
It requires only perusal of the pro-
ceedings of the county commissioners
to appreciate the remarkable amount
of work which has been done by this
group of business men, who are put
ting in hours and hours of their time
for the benefit of the people of Lake
county.
Long Trip of Inspection.
For instance, yesterdays trip took
the commissioners from Hammond to
Merrillville, from Merrillville to a point
three miles west of the city, where
road was inspected; back through Mer-
rillville and Ainsworth to Hobart. From
Hobart to a point three miles west of
the city, where a new road was in
spected; from Hobart to Liverpool and
Lake Station, where six miles of new
road is being built; from Lake Station
to Miller and Aetna and then to the
township line, where three miles of
road is being built; back to the road
northeast of Hobart which is being
constructed; over to the Lake and Por-
ter county line road, back to Hobart.
and from there to Crown Point and
back to Hammond.
Attains Big Impetus.
The commissioners report that the
good roads movement has attained
such an impetus that the people are
crazy about them. Everybody in the
county is petitioning for a road in one
place or another In such townships
as Hanover and ST. John, the funds for
good roads have been exhausted, but
the farmers are still putting in petit
tfons so that they can be taken up in
their order as soon as there are more
funds for the purpose.
Lake county has already has the fin
est system of country boulevards in
the state and with the 100 miles of
country roads which are how being
built, with many important connecting
links constructed, the county will have
as good roads as can be found in the
country.
On account of the locating of Gary
in Calumet township, the greatest de-
velopment in the building Of good
roads is expected to be in that section
of the county. The people of Calumet
good roads, and there is certainly a
crying need for them.
Pretty Shallow Pretext,
1t has been discovered that the big
howl which was raised by the demo-
Gratis in Hammond over the so-called
failure of the county commissioners to
repair Forsyth avenue, is the shallow
est sort of political calamity bowling.
The howlers do not seem to realize
that the law explicitly states that a
city can go ahead and make their re-
pairs, and then, by making an item
lied statement of the expenditures to
the auditor of the county, can have the
expense of the repairs paid by the
county.
1t requires only visit through the
county in an automobile to appreciate
the fact that the present commission
ers are about as affcient a body as
have ever held office.

NEW YORK.

Continued warm unreasonable weather
and the approach of the national election
tend to hamper distribution of season
able merchandise, the purchase of any
but immediate necessities and the proJec-
ton of new enterprises. On the balance
industry is slightly more active, some
branches of the iron trade having in
creased forces, while building is more
brisk but at the same time drought or
low water in various navigable streams
tend to affect such lines as coke, water
way navigation and paper mills. Rail-
way tonnage is heavier, and current
gross earnings show smaller decreases
than for any time in the past ten months.
Summed up, caution still prevails, but
confidence is very strong, and therefore
natural conditions, together with light
stocks, should produce marked degree
of expansion after the turn of the new
year. Until then repression seems to
be the policy, the hand to mouth buying
movement is deemed to be the part of
wisdom, and new enterprises are being
held in allegiance, either by the credit-giv-
ing institutions or by their projectors.

Better indications are found in rail and
