Republican zeal, Republican enthupiasm and Republican confidence aro tisinj? ia Marion county every hour. It begins to look as if Mr. Bynnm had finally set tire to the grass, and that his own nay-stacks will Kp tip in tho conflagration. - , TnE Democratic editors and stumpers aro running their fake milla day and night in tho vain effort to offset Republican facts. Republican victory is in the air. One week from to-day it will bo condensed into the ballot-boxes if Republicans do their ivhole duty. Tns one industry that Republicans ore against is the publication of bankpoto detectors, which will prosper with Btate and free banking. Everything js cheaper now than in 1S90, except Democratic taxes. They Lave advanced from CO to 50 per cent., and the movement is upward in Indiana. Mr. Cleveland appears to think that lie would have stood a better chance for election in 1S0O than In 1S03. It Is tho first tinio ho has boen correct in tho campaign. After all, the work that will tell la that of the Republicans in every precinct who will make it thoir duty, cext Tuesday, to see that every Republican foes to the polls. Let every Republican bear In mind that this year lie votes the Republican ticket not to favor any man, but to take care of his own Interests to protect his prosperity and his homo. Vote tho whole Republican ticket in Marion county. Every man on it la superior to his Democratic opponent, bocause the Democrat, if elected, must Obey the mandates of Taggart and Coy. A veteran has sent the Journal two circulars from an alleged non-partisan -veteran association in Washington, of Which Sam K. Forsyth ia president, urging veterans to vote for Sir. Cleve land, giving reasons therefor. One of these Is that two Democratic Congresses tave paised arrears of pension bills. JhU ia a falsehood. The arrears of

pension act was passed in January, 1879. Tho House was Democratic, but the bill was presented by ifr. Cummings, a Republican, of Iowa, and was hung up in the Democratic pension committee for months. Finally, on motion of a Republican, Mr. Hnskell, of Kansas, the committeo was discharged from further consideration, and the bill was brought to a vote and passed 104 ayes, CI nays. The ayes were made up of 116 Republicans and 43 Democrats, while the CI nays were all Democrats. That is, if tho fate of the measure had depended upon Democratic votes alone, it would, have been defeated ayes 43, nays 61. It became a law by the approval of President Hayes, n Republican. If it had gone to Mr. Cleveland at tho time he vetoed the dependent pension bill, it would doubtless have been vetoed. This is a sample of the lies of the 'non-partisan" association in Washington which urges veterans to vote for the pensionvetoeraudtho member of the Golden Circle.

THE BD8IKES3 ELEMENT. As the campaign approaches its close it becomes apparent that one of tho strongest factors operating for Republican success is the support of conservative business men. The business element in this countryis very strong, and its relative strength increases rapidly from year to year. There is a very large number of business men who do not care much for party politics except as, they affect business interests. They would hardly turn over their hands to secure the success of the Republican or Democratic party exceptas they thought it might affect business. When times are hard and business poor they will vote for the party which, as they think, holds out the best promise of improve ment. When times are good and business prosperous they will vote for the party that holds out the best promise of maintaining that condition. When things are not in a satisfactory condition thGy will vote for a change, but when business is prosperous and there is no good reason for desiring a change they .will vote to keep things as they are. It was to this element 'that Mr. Bynnm referred in an interview pub lished in the Sentinel a few months ago, when he said: "This element is more powerful to-day than ever before in our history. Great commercial interests have grown up within tho last few years, involving the investment of millions of dollars, tho operators of which care nothing for politics so that they can be assured of a stable and honest administration of affairs." There is every indication that a large majority of this class, j.'e., of the conservative business men of the country. who are notdistinctively party men, will support the Republican candidates this year. - And why should they not! Being entirely satisfied with the situation of aftnirs, why should they desire a change? Business is prosperous, trade is good, the finances of tho country are in a healthy condition, and everything points to a . continuance of these conditions. Why, . then, should any business man Who has no other interest in politics than good government and good times, vote for a change? Business men know what tho Republican policy is, what it has'dono in the past and what it is likely to do in the future. They know Harrison as a wise, cautious, conservative, patriotic President, who has given the country one of the best administrations in its history. Why should they vote to torn him out, and exchange a policy of assured prosperity for one of, at best, only doubtful wisdom? If a Democratic President were now in office, and a candidate for re-election, who had given tho country as good an administration as President Harrison has done, and if the general business conditions were as favorable and prosperous as they now are, the Journal firmly believes that tho conservative business men of the country generally would vote for his re-election. They would vote against a change because they would think thero was no good cause for a change. For the same reason w believe a Urge majority of this class will vote for Harrison and Reid. They are satisfied with the present condition, and do not want a change. There is evidently a very strong. drift among business men toward the lie publican party, and it will not bo surprising if they turn the scale in favor of the Republicans in every Northern State. BULLS i.HD BEAR8 IN POLITICS. Everybody knows what "bulls" and "bears" in the commercial world are. Bulls are the speculators or investors who are interested in a buoyant or rising market, and bears are those whose interests are the reverse. The bulls try to put prices up, the bears to break them down. Consequently the former try to put the brightest and most cheerful aspect possible on every feature of the situation,, while the latter try to mako everything tako as gloomy and discouraging a phase as possible. The bulls attempt to keep prices up, and perhaps to raise them, in ordor that they may sell dear; the bears try' to pull prices down, so they may bay cheap. Often n bear sells stocks, grains, provisions or other commodities neither ownr d nor possessed by him at the timo of felling them, but which he expects to buy at a lower price before the time fixed for making delivery. There aro bulls and bears in politics, &b well as in trade. For many years past the Republican party has been laboring to establish conditions of general prosperity buoying up the hopes of the people and cheering them with proofs of new industries and larger-production, pointing to the steady increase of our foreign and domestic trade, to the rapid increase of our manufactures, to tho advance of waces and the reduction in the cost of living, to the general employment of labor, to tho increaso of sav-. ings bank deposits and the universal prosperity of tho people. Every new evidenco of material progress has been hailed with delight by the Republican party, and it has sought to convince the American people that they are the most favored and prosperous people on earth. Its legislation has been directed to developing American industries and pro

tecting American interests, and keeping America on top generally. It is the bull party in American politics. The Democratic party has played bear to the Republican partyTs bull. For every move that tho latter has made to advance and promote American interests the Democratic party has made a counter-move to break them down. If Republicans have watched the field closely to note every -sign of prosperity, Democrats have been quite, as quick to take" advantage of every indication of disaster. Business failures, bankruptcies, crop failures, drouths, farm mortgages, grasshoppers, labor strikes in short, everything that might tend to discourage people, depress their spirits, deaden energy and enterprise and make Americans dissatisfied with their country and government has been made the most of by tho Democratic party. It has not only carefully avoided any legislation that might tend to promote American interests at tho expense of those of other countries, but it has sought to make American interests subordinate to foreign. It has studiously distorted . and misrepresented official statistics and reports that tended to prove the general prosperity of the country, and has done its best to convince the world that tho American people were the worst governed and the most oppressed people on earth, and wero fast becoming the most impoverished. The Democratic party is the bear party in American politics. Who would not rather be a bull than a bear in politics when it is a question of keeping np or breaking down American interests?

MB, WANAMAKEE IN INDIANA. Postmaster-general Wanamaker, who Is to spend this week in Indiana, is billed for two speeches each day, except Friday, on which day he is expected to speak three times in as many different towns. This is doing pretty well for a man who makes no pretensions to oratory, but simply undertakes, as a part of his duty as a citizen, to tell his countrymen what means he believes the best for maintaining and promoting their prosperity. Mr. Wanamaker was made a member of President HarrisonTs Cabinet because he was a practical business man, a proceeding that caused somo criticism from tho class of persons who regard such positions n3 mere political appointments with which tho qualifications of tho appointees for tho performance of their duties have comparatively little to do. But the innovation and experiment have proved successful. No department of the government has greater need of abasiness man at its head, one accustomed t tho management of large interests in general and in detail. ' Mr. Wanamaker had proved his executive ability in his own affairs, and in tho transfer of his energies to the Postoflice Department showed that his private experionco had qualified him for the control of great public interests and demonstrated the wisdom of the" President's choice. The postal service was never such a perfectly working system as now, and presents the greatest possible contrast to the disorganized and demoralized condition in which he found it and to which it had come under the Cleveland administration. Ho has managed the service on business principles and with an eyo single to the convenience and accommodation of the public. As a business man he has seen tho possibilities of improvements and has recommended several to Congress which will eventually, no doubt, bo adopted; but the system as it exists under the law has been made operative to its highest possibilities. It is as a business man that he is talking to the people, and what ho says to them is not theory, but the results of actual experience. With all his close attention to the department in his charge, Mr. Wanamaker, has been tho most shamefully abused member of the President's official family. It is even regarded as a grievance by certain curiously constituted people that he is a member of a Christianchurch, though he has at no time flaunted his religion in tho face of the public. A local paper has indulged in a number of contemptible attacks of this sort, but with this excuse: that its editor is a new comer, and is, perhaps, not aware that in this community it is no discredit to a man to be known as a Christian, or even as a Sunday-school teacher. Mr. Wanamaker can well afford to let his public and private career serve as its own defense azainst tho malicious assaults of his political enemies. " PENSIONS IN INDIANA. . Friday morning, Nov. 4, Pension Agent Ensley will begin to pay the quarterly pensions due for tho three months, and on tho evening of Tuesday, Nov. 8, he will have paid out to Indiana pensioners $2,500,000. This vast amount of money will furnish the necessaries of life, in part, to 100,000 soldiers, or their widows, orphans, or dependent parents. It will keep the wolf away from many a door and it will save many a brokendown veteran and his wife or widow from the poor-house. More than that, this vast sum of money goes into circulation in Indiana evey three months, increasing trade, paying wages, rent, and generally stimulating local business throughout the State. Nearly $12,000,000 a year is paid in pensions in Indiana, of which $700,000 is paid in Marion county. The pension system by which this sum goes to the pensioners of Indiana is a Republican system. Every important pension measure was instituted by Republicans and became law by Republican influence and votes in Congress. Years ago Southern Democrats did not oppose pension measures very strenuously, but when they had secured tho Mexican pension act they turned against all pension legislation for Union sol diers. Northern Democrats vote for pensions because they dare not do oth erwise, but at this time there is a movement ging on to curtail pensions in the event of Democratic . success. The Cleveland papers in New York, like the Timef,, the World and the Herald, are hosti'.e to pensions. Mr. Cleveland's lead ng admirers, the mugwumps of Nov England and New York and the

importing free-traders, applaud Mr. Cleveland's pension vetoes. Of the pensions which will be paid this week ,10,727 were added to the rolls under the disability pension act of June 27, 1800, passed by the Republican Congress, and approved by President Harrison. This is essentially tho measure which Mr. Clevelaud vetoed. These pensions date from the filing of application, and all other applications made under it not yet granted will, when granted, draw pensions in the same way. The average rate of pensions under the disability law is $30 per quarter. This week this class of pensioners will draw over S500.000. Mr. Cleveland vetoed the dependent pension bill in February, 1887. If he had signed that bill, the men entitled to a pension under it would have drawn $96 a year throe and a half years earlier. fThat is, Mr. Cleveland's veto cost each one of these $336. If he bad been elected in 18S3 not one of them would now bo pensioned. Why should an old soldier voto for him now?

WHAT TEE CENSUS TELLS I0E INDIANAPOIn another column may be found the statistics of tho manufacturing and mechanical industries of Indianapolis for 1880 and 1800, collected by tho Census Bureau. They tell the story of the growth of Indianapolis during tho decade 1880-00. But for these industries the city could havo made no progress in wealth or population. They show that 60 per cent, more peoplo were employed in theso industries in 1800 than In 18S0; that nearly twice as much money was paid out for wages inl890as in 18S0, and, what is better than all that in 1800 each person employed received $06 more wages than fye received, in 1880 an increase of 23 per cent. This means that steadier employment and an increase of wages have ndded that amount to the average wages of every worker in Indianapolis in these industries. Those who find pleasure in crying down the prosperity of tbeir country and their city will mako haste to say that the statistics aro not reliable. This will not do. The statistics of 1890 were collected and put into, form under the direction of Frank R. Williams, a special agent and expert who did the work in 1880, having been se- J lecteu men uecauso or nis mness oy Gen. Francis A. Walker, now a Cloveland man. In his introduction to the volume of manufacturing statistics of 1880 General Walk er expressed. muiseit. in terms of , admiration of tho character of the work performed by Mr. Williams. To the work of 1890 he has brought larger experience and greater skill. Besides, Mr. Williams is a Democrat. The figures are reliable, and every real friend of Indianapolis will rejoice that they tell the story of her great and con tinued prosperity. There has been no stronger Republican argument presented during this campaign than the budget .of industrial notes which, for several months past, have been published onco a week in the daily Jocrnaj There has been no thought of politics in these notes, and yet they have pointed a plain political moral. Week after, week and month after month they have f uyiiahed convincing proof that the manufacturing industries of this city are in a most prosperous condition, running on full timo and with all the orders they can fill. They have shown that business in all departments is' prosperous and that the trade of the city is extending in all directions. Skilled labor finds steady employmont at good wages and tho products of Indianapolis factories find a ready market nil over the country and even in foreign countries. In one senso there is no politics in this, and yet thero is a plain political lesson in the evidenco it furnishes of the' practical results of protection. In view of these results the Journal confesses itself unable to see why any person should desiro a change. Lieutenant - governor Sheehan, who is managing the Democratic campaign in New York, wrote the New York World June 13, 1892. as follows: Mr. Cleveland, if nominated, could not be elected. The action of the Minneapolis' convention fettled that point. Harrison defeated Clevelaud four years ago. He is no weaker now than he was then. He is stronger. He has given bis party everything it wanted. Ho has made one of the best Presidents that the Republican party has given us. Lieutenant-governor Sbeehan seems to have been inspired by the true prophetic spirit when he wrote these words. The venerable ex-Senator Evarts, in his recent speech, asked the following question: Who can doubt that if the British government could appoint a Governor-general for this great Nation it would appoint Grover Cleveland, and not Benjamin Harrison? There is not a reading man in the country who does not know that Mr. Cleveland would be the man, because Great Britain believes that he favors a policy which will promote British industry and trade. The "deadly parallel" was never, irioro fatal than when Harrison and Cleveland aro put in two columns regarding tho veterans as below: Harrison. I Cleveland. I know of no higher honor in this world than to bo called "comrade" The inKenuitr developed in the constant and persistent attacks upon the public treasury by by the survivors of those who Bavea tne union.; tnose claiming pensions, and the increase of thoao already granted. Is exhibited In bold relief by this attempt to Include pore eyes among th results ol diarrhea. - TnE remarkablo statement of Jndge Baldwin, of Logansport, that "America is filling up with lousy Italians and lousier Poles" is winning for him a na tional reputation. It has reached East ern newspapers, in which he is called the Western MacVeagh. When all money is good, wage-earn era will have the best; when dollar notes worth but 90 cents abound, wage-earners will be compelled to take them, be cause it is the currency which, to use the words of Mr. Bynnm, "will staj at home." In a brief report of his speech, Monday evening, Mr. Henry wasraadetosay that Jefferson was one of the founders

of the Constitution and a member of tho First Congress. What he did say was that ho was a member of the first Cabinet, and a protectionist. General Walkrr, of Massachusetts, a free-trader, told tho Democrats that Jefferson outranked all modern protectionists.

Tns Journal has received a circular which declares that Mr. Cleveland bestowed more offices upon soldiers than anybody else. The record shows that he made fourteen ex-confederate soldiers foreign ministers, while only three Union soldiers were given such positions. The compiler evidently had reference to confederate soldiers. The desperation of the Democracy appears in the large output of roorbacks and canards which appear from day to day in the columns of the local organ. These panicky and absurd stories are signals of distress. Read between the lines they mean that the Democracy are beaten and that they havo no hope except in lying and fraud. . If the Civil-service Commission is assuming that all persons are prohibited from soliciting campaign contributions of federal officials -its members should be furnished a copy of the laws bearing upon that subject. Only federal officers are prohibited from soliciting campaign funds of other federal officers. Charles L. Henry is proving himself an ideal candidate. His zeal, his rare command of facts, his practical knowledge of affairs, his hearty sympathy with the industrial and business interests, and his candor command for him cor.dence and good will wherever he appears and wherever he speaks. In view of the fact that thero will not be this year, and has not been for fifteen years, in ten of the States which will give Mr. Cleveland their votes, such a free and fair election as the Constitution and the spirit of popular government contemplate, his talk about corrupt election methods is cheeky. The following table shows how the electoral vote was divided in 18S0. 1SS4 and 18SS, and tbe number of votes each State has in 1832: 18 SO. 1834. 1888. I1S9J & 2. STATES. ft.

The gift itself is a generous one, but tho circumstances make it peculiar. Mr. Haivelon is a farmer, and Purdue is primarily an agricultural college, but the gift was for the constrnction of extensive machineshops. In thus designating his gift for a purpose outside of his own calling the giver showed at once bis liberality of ideas and. his appreciation of the importance of tech nical education.' In proportion to hia means the gift Is one of tbe most liberal on record, for it amounts to about one-half of the giver's fortune.

POLITICAL XOTh AM CUllMKST. "It I only secure a balance of power in tbe Electoral College," said Gen Weaver, at Dakota. "I will throw my influence for a good tnend of free silver." The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle notes that "certain Hill Democrats, who thought it might be too cold to go fishing on election day. accomplished their purpose by neglecting to register. Hill and his. gentlemen of leisure are out in lorce." David Martin, of Pennsylvania, who has been in New York helping the national committee to dcteet and circumvent Democratic registration frauds, says be is willing to bet J5.000 that Harrison will carry the Empire State. Cbns. MAgee, of Pennsylvania, is also said to be willing to waeer a similar sum, and Senator Quay has 10,000 to bet on Harrison. Cn airman Uartf.r8 denial of the Democratic yarn that 1L C Frick had made a big contribution to tbe Republican campaign fund is supported by the statement of Hamilton Disston. of Pennsylvania, a member of the advisory board of the national committee. ' who says Sir. Frick has absolutely refused to contribute one cent to the campaign fund. The Democratto leaders refer contemptuously to MaoVeagh. and in order to counteract the effect of his slurs a number of emissaries have been sent among tho Irish to repudiate him and to denonnea him as a Republican spy in their camp to create dissension. It is now evident that whichever way matters may turn. Mr. MaoVeagh will find himself in the soup. Editor McClurk, of Philadelphia, who pretended that he wanted to engage in joint debate with MoKinley, spent half a day in New York last week, at tbe end of which time he telegraphed to his paper that Cleveland would carry that State without donbe Instead of inspiring serene confidence in results this leads a Democratic committeeman of Pennsylvania to remark sadly that "Every time McClnre prophesies defeat the confounded Republicans run off with the victory." Mb. Rlaikk said to a friend in Washington on Monday: 'Harrison will carry Indiana and he will be elected. I do not base my opinion as to Republican success in Indiana upon my own impressions. I have it as the judgment of an eminent Democrat who is familiar with the situation. As to New York." said Mr. Blaine, 'the registration would seem to indicate enormous . possibilities of ; Democratio fraud, but the reports from the interior of the btate are favorable, and I should think that the chances of Republican success In New York State are at least even. But I am sure that Harrison is to be elected. He ' has been gaining very much in the last month." republican song.

' PROGRESS IN INDIANAPOLIS The Glowing Story of Its Industrial GroTvih Durinj: the Decade 1880-90. Capital Increased 45 and Hands Employed 60 Vr Cent Amount Paid in Waces Nearly DcuMed Wages Increased One-Fcurth. From time to time the Journal has published the industrial statistics of cities in different parts of the country, collected by the Census Bureau, showing tbe most remarkable growth during the census decade, T&50-90, that has ever been known. Now come the statistics of the manufacturing and mechanical industries of theoityof Indianapolis. The showing is a most gratifying one, as by these statistics it appears that no city of its sizo in the Northern States has made a more marked growth. The comparisons are mads between ths industrial years ending May SI, 1SS0 and 1800, and are as follows: 1830 1890 No. industries reported 81' 120 No. establteinents reporting. C83 - 1,056 Capital $10,049,500 $14,510,379 Hands employed 10,000 15,967 Wages paid $3,917,114 $7,793,899 Coat of materials used 19.198,102 18,316.095 Value of product 27,453,0t-9 32,025,851 Population. 75,056 105.436 Municipal debt $1,914,500 $1,846,072 The value of hired property is not included, because it was not reported in 1880. Miscellaneous expenses in 1890 were $2,010, 514, but they were not reported In 1830. Cars and general shop construction and repairs by steam railroad companies, wholesale druggists' preparations, illuminating gas, and custom millinery and dress-making were omitted In tho reports of l&SO. All of the above figures are important as showing the growth of the city and its industries, but some of them are very remarkable. For instance, wnile tbe number of hands employed increased from ten thousand in l&O, to 15,967 in 1890, or more than one-third, or, to be more exact 59.67 per cent The amount paid out as wages to these employes increased from $3,917,114 in 1S80 to 87,7'3.8S9 in 1890, wnich was almost double, or per cent The most striking fact is tbeinerease in wages during the decade. In 18S0. ten thousand workmen were paid 3.917,114. or ?J2 per hand, while in 1S90. 15,967 hands received S7.,;03,S99. or ZlbS per hand. Here is an increase in the amount of wages paid each employe during the census year of 18J0 of $06 over the amount paid during the census year of lb SO. This is an increaso of nearly i!5 per cent, or one-fourth. It appears, further, that the cost of materials, with all this increased number of workmen and amount of wages, was less in 16'j0 than in 1S30. But while tbe labor and skill of Indianapolis industries increased the value of the material used 7.6C0.O0O in l&SO, in 1890 they increased its value 13,700,1)00. In 1HS0 the labor of each employe added 760 to the value of the material worked up, while in 1890 each employe added S0 to its valuean increaso of S9J. while the increase of wages paid was (4a A striking feature of these returni," says the oilicial report "is the satisfactory increase in the number of establishments reported. Still more gratifying is the in crease during the decade in the number of bands employed and the amount of wages paid. The wages have increased not only actually, but relatively, the average wages per band increasing I row 5"- in lhbO to 193 in 1UU0, or Stf.28 per cent Part of this increase is undoubtedly due to the fact that in many industries relatively more men were employed Iu 1S.0 and less children, and also to the iaot that. in ten years, many branches of industry have improved the grades of their products and for this reason require more skilled and higher paid employes. After making all possible allowance for these changes, for the mora thorough enumeration of 1(90 and forth advance in quantity of manufactured product we havo a decided relative increase in the amount paid in wages between 180 audit'.)." But while the showing is so Mattering to labor, it reveals that capital did not receive the remuneration in U'.0 that it did in ltSO. In fact when the wages are deducted and the miscellaneous expenses, the share left for the return on capital will be found to be considerably less in 1&90 than in 1SS0.

Nothing can illustrate better the enthusiasm in Bepubli can and Democratio ranks than a contrast of the political meeting held in the Grand Opera-house Monday night and last night Monday night Senator David Turpie delivered an addreit which had been widely advertised, and, although the weather was very pleasaut he had an audience of three hundred only. Last night the weather was as disagreeable 0 as it well could be. yet . the fact that Hon. Charles L. Henry and Hon. John M. llufer were to speak tilled the opera-house with an audience of eight hundred, and n splendid, attentive audience it wa There was no parade attending tbe meeting. For fifteen or twenty minutes the Brotherhood Band discoursed musio in front ef the opera-house, and then the house began to fill up. The opera-house was appropriately deoo rated for the occasion. Large flags were suspended from the Hies, and in the center was a huge eagle. From this streamers of bunting were stretched, and the sides ot the boxes were embellished with festoons of the stars and stripes. The decorations also extended around the balcony and gallery rails. Potted plants were alo banked against the lower boxes. At S o'clock the meeting was called to order and a campaign eong was sung by tbe Watkins Brothers' colored glee club, of Anderson, which was vociferously received. The chairman, Mr. Chapin C Poster, then said: "Fellow-citizens, tbe pleasant duty has been assigned to me to introduce the man whoisto succeed the man whonowmis represents this district m Congress." (Applause. Mr. Henry then stepped forward, and was greeted with such a round ot applause that he could not begin his addre&a for some time. STATE BANK ISSUE. In commencing his address. Mr. Henry sketched briefly tho course of the Republican party for the past thirty years in selecting its candidates for the presldeney, contrasting its candidates with those of the Democratio party, and showing that since 16C0 the Democrats hare scarcely gone beyond the shadow of Tammany Hall in selecting tbeir presidential candidates. Mr. Henry then took up and discussed the repeal of the ten-per-cent tax on . fctatt bank issues, and on this subject he said: The eighth plank In the Democratio platform reads as follows: "We recommend that the prohibitory 10-per-cent tax on titate bank issues bo repealed." This plank of the Democratio platform has attracted widespread attention in this campaign, and deservedly so, for there has betn nothing suggested In a quarter ot a century which would so vitally enoct the currency -of the Nation. It has bsn tuu;M br some of our people that this plank was put into tho platform &t Chicago simply for campaign purposes, in order to hold some of the votes that wero likely to leave the party on the money question, and that if the DenlocraUo party should 15 buccesnful iu this campaign the recommendation of that rUnk in the platform would not he l'ollowed. It is of the utmost importance that we should consider this matter carefully, and I therefore doKire to call the attention of this audience to the fact that it is not simply a campaign movement, but is a proposition that the Democratic party is insisting upon. - I have in ray possession here the Campaign Tsxt-book of the Democratio party for the presidential election of 1892, prepared by authority of the Democratio national .committee, whicfc was issued after the letter of acceptance of Tres ldent Harrison bad been published. On page 224 this book says: "The movement to repeal this tax is not of recent origin. Since 1 875 more than thirty bills have been introduced in Con. gress, either to secure the repeal, or to place Hate and national bank issues on tho same level. ' It will be ram em be red tUat the tax was injieid x m an emergency, that its object was to crush out Diaic oauK notes, couur a uionupojy uj wav 91 , Inducement and secure a market for United 8tates bonds. This unconstitutional step was taken under the guleo of a scheme to raise revenue. Now, however, that ths emergency h as long passed away, should tbe law be permitted to remain longeron the statute books! Should not the Mates to restored to their constitutional rights!" By these introductory remarks it will be seen that the party arrays ltsslf in favor of the rep al of this tax upon Btate bank issues, and in favor of the issue of State bank notes. But we are not left on this subject alone to the statements of the Democratic natlonU committee. The pressure and demand on the part of the Democratic - party in tho South tor the repent of this tax has been eo great that' on tbe 6th day ot June, in tbe lowet house ot Congress, Mr. lUchardhon, of Tennessee, mo red to suspend the rules and tako from the ways and means committee, and pa, under the suspension of tho rules, a biil which he had Introduced for tbe repeal of the 10-percent tax on ths circulation of btate banks. Not willing for the bill to take its regular course, the advocates ot the mea.-ure were so urgent In their demands that they desired to take the bill out of the hands of the committee to which it had been referred for consideration, and pass It under a suspension of the rules. And tho movement was only defeated by the arguments of members ol that committee and others, to the cfSeot that it would be discourteous to the commltteo to take the biU away from the committee before it had had time to properly consider it. In spealrinc npon the motion, Mr. liacon, of the committee on banking and currency, said: 'l bay to tho House, in all good faith, that the committee on banking and currency is taking no more time in deliberating on this question than its imjtnrtanco in the opinion of the committee demands! We desire to make a report when it can be deliberately considered by the House." It is niear that the Democratic party Is insisting upon the repeal of this law in order that Etate bank notes may again be put into circulation in the country. This view is reinforced very strongly when we call to mind that Senator Yoorhees ot Indiana, Senator Harris of Tennessee, and Eeuator Vanco of Sorth Carolina Joined in a minority report, protesting arainst the adverse report made by trustor Morrill, of Vermont, upou a bill introduced by Senator George, of Mississippi, asking the repeal of this tax. bo we have the Dcictx-rats In both bouses of Congress favoring tho repeal of ths tax, and the statement from the national Democratic committee in a campaign text Uok furnished to their speakers throughout the country, glrfhg to tho.e speakers tbe arguments to be used in favor of it. What more evidence is needed to satisfy tbe jH-opie that this great political party Is, upon this question, bowing again to the deiuandi of tho irouthrn wlnjr. and intend, as soou as they fel safe in so doing, to repeal the prohibitory tax ujHin Mate bank IcMSrii. so that the country may again la flooded with a woithless currency.
