Chronicle Criticizes Logansport Chronicle for Falsity
An unidentified Wells County reader accuses the Chronicle of inventing a false report about a Logansport milling firm shipping 16 000 barrels of flour to Cuba. The Logansport Pharos editor calls the clipping an infernal lie and urges readers to doubt Chronicle rhetoric and tariff claims.

Political War Over State Debt and Party Strategy
The piece argues the state debt is manageable and credits a tax refund for debt service. It attacks the Indianapolis Journal’s claims and asserts Democratic unity, condemning Republican tactics. It cites a party chairman letter urging hard work and funding for Indiana campaigns.
State debt reduction aided by new tax law
The year ending Oct 31 shows the first reduction of the state debt, funded entirely by money from the new tax law despite it not taking effect until 1891. Refunded direct tax money had been used earlier to pay interest, and the Chronicle is challenged for its silence amid political pressure. The writer accuses a Chronicle editor and two candidates of cowardice and betrayal of party principles.

Danger ahead warns of overconfidence and tariff lessons
The piece urges immediate alarm citing fear of over-confidence seen since 1876 and 1884 and warns against repeating 1894 mistakes. It notes Republican papers claim Democratic meetings attract Republican audiences, arguing Republicans read Democratic papers to stay informed on tariff bill effects and Democratic news.
McKinleyism and Wool Prices for Wells County Farmers
In October 1890 the McKinley bill pushed Bluffton wool to 28 cents per pound. By August 1894 the repealed flaw saw prices quoted between 8 and 12 12 cents. McKinleyism raised protection for Wells county farmers by supporting higher market prices for wool and stabilizing profits.

Tariff Bill Skews Benefit to Farmers in Canning Sector
The Chronicle omits a point about the new tariff saving the canning industry $600 on tin next year if usage remains the same. Farmers as stockholders gain from the tariff, while critics argue McKinleyism and the 1940 plan loom. The sugar duty funds go to the U S treasury, not to Louisiana planters, clarifying price questions.
