We find the following welltimed re-
marks under the head Of the "money ar
ticle," in the last New York Evening Post:
The whole fabric Of the 'system Of
credit" which has originated in legislative
favor, or special legislation, will soon be
exhibited to The world in all its deformity;
the mighty decisions under which the COM
mercial interests Of this country have been
sacrificed, are fast passing away, and the
people, in soberness and sound Judgment
are preparing TO investigate The whole Of
this stupendous fraud upon their rights and
interests. Talk Of Freedom! Of liberty and
equality! How can those blessings be en-
joyed, while privileged individuals can
govern and regulate the pecuniary interests
of the whole people. We enjoy but the
name Of liberty, while this system is tole-
rated and now is the time for the people to
raise in their mis- ht and will to be free
traitor, recreant to his trust, any profess
ing democrat who shall dare to vote in our
Legislature in support of any part Of this
system.
A committee Of the Senate Of Maryland
declare, as "their opinion, that the banks
have been the primary cause of the diff

every class and portion Of society are now
contendng, and they have uprooted the

been the ordeal through which we have
passed to this knowledge, and ifexperience
is a severe teacher. the lessons thus ac-
CURED are generally permanent. In a
morning paper which has all along sus-
tanned this system, we find leaning to-
wards the truth of our position, which we
could hardly expect from that quarter. In
the Courier of yesterday morning the mon
strous folly and injustice of the usury law
is pointed out, and the editor acknowledge

But let lis recur for moment to The
former opinions of Mr. Benton. On the
Odd day of October 1924, this gentleman
published, in the Missouri Intelligencer, a
letter, from which we extract the follow
ing paragraph.
''The principles which would govern
Mr. CIays's administration, if elected, are
we'll known to the nation. They have
been displayed upon the floor of Con-
sress for the last seventeen years. They
constitute system Of American policy,
based on the agriculture and manufac-
lures OF his own countrv-upon interior
as well as foreign commerce-upon inte-
rIor as well as seaboard improvement
upon the independence of the new world
CLOSE commercial alliances with Mexi-
CO and South America. II is said that
Others would pursue the same system;
we answer, that the Codnder of the syste m
is the natural executor of his own work
That the most efficient protector of A.
merican iron, lead, hemp, wool and cot
ton, would be the triumphant champion OF
the new Tariff; the safest friend to inter-
or commerce would be the Statesman
who has proclaimed the Mississippi to be
the Sea of the West; the most Jealous
promoter of internal improvement, would
be the President who has lriumphed over
the President, who opposed the construc-
ton of national roads and canals-,he
most successful applicant for treaties with
Mexico and South America, would be the
eloquent advocate Of their own indepen-
denca."
