IMPORTANT OMIssIoS.--The President
in his last Message to Congress, entirely
omitted the following important passage,
which we presume arose from an error Of
the clerk in copyingt. The paragraph
omitted should have followed Immediately
after the TRADE against the late Bank of the
United States, and should have been as
follows :-"I, however, owe it to the cause
of truth and justice to state that, from the
orrs nization of the late National Bank, un-
til my illustrious predecessor withdrew from
it the public deposites, the Bank collected,
disbursed and transferred more than four
hundred millions of public money, without
the loss of one dollar, or without charging
the government one cent for this highly inn
portant public service; all of which the Sc
crctary of the Treasury can confirm

Does this show that the "credit Of Ohio
is daily rising! Did ever creature, at once
prove himself both knave and fool, at SO
cheap arate?
But why, it may be asked are the stocks
of Ohio an exception to the general rule!
Why do not the best stocks of Ohio rise
when even those of the broken United
States Bank are coming up? 1t is because
this same creature has sounded the doctrine
far and wide, that Ohio is under neither le-
gal nor moral obligation to pay them.--
That they are merely debts Of honor that
may be thrown off at pleasure, and at any
time when plausible excuse can be fabr.
Gated, or plausible lie told by those whose
trade is to lie, deceive and falsify.
Look at the above table and see how the
Ohio stocks resisted the downward tenden-
cy, until the accursed doctrine of the States
man struck fatal blow at the very root of
the credit and honor ofthe state. Remember
that these stocks are not like bank stocks
the return being regular and the dividend
fixed, while those of banks are uncertain and
irregular and liable to be affected in thou
sand ways, that do not effect the loans of
states. Look at these things In the light
of unbiased reason, and then look on the
locofoco party and weep for the hour when
it threw its deadly folds around the before
prosperous state of Ohio.

Ono FlNANcK AND THE Ono STATES

ONO FINANCE AND THE Ono STATES
NAN.---lgnorant and silly, as the Ohio
Statesman is, on oil occasions, it sometimes
even outdoes itself in its endeavors to ap-
pear in ridiculous light. One ofthese ex-
ira efforts appears in an article in the paper
Of the e5th Jan. headed, "OHro SToeKs BET
TER THAN OTHERS in which the editor
proves conclusiyeIy, that they are morse
than all others, that he knows anything
about.
He commences by calling attention to a
table from the New York Herald, III which
the prices of different stocks at different Pc
RODS of the year past are set down. He
tells us, that, the poor Bank Reform State
ofOhio, stands far ahead of all the western
states," though he does not tell what the
stocks Of these western states are worth.
Then comes the charging part of the artl-
Gle; as follows:-
"While the credit of the bank whig
states is on the decline continually, that of
Ohio is daily rising
Then follows the table of the prices of
the leading stocks in the New York market
throughout the past year." from which
it appears that from January to November
1889, all the stocks continued to fall in
price, while from November to January
1910, Ohio stocks are almost the only ones
that did not rise. We make few extracts
from the table to illustrate this position.
