A Democrat;-;- form of government is conducive to the highest civilization because it opens before each, in .Ji vicrnal the greatest opportunities for development, and stimulates to the . higtb»4tt4fnd<j*W)r by-insuring to each the full enjoyment of all the rewards of toil except such contribution as is net-es.-ary to support the government which protects him.

The national -batik note., being yotieemable in lawful money, has never been better than the United .States note which stands behimi-it. and,yet the bankaigtersfatehtly demand that these United Jdtates notes, which draw-uo interest, shall give nlaoe to in-tenset.-boarina bond*,-in order that the banks may coUect the interest which the people how eatte. To empower national bank's to issue circulating notes la to grant a valuabfauprivilege to a rpvored elass, surrender to private corporations the eontrol aver the volume of paper money, and build up a class which will elalm a vested late rest In the nation's financial poltcy.'
