organ, the Globe, openly called upon the States IN
1884 to charter mammoth State Banks TO take
the place of the Vetoed Monster Jet US consider
some recent and striking manifestations
The sslf..tyled Democratic party processes, as
cardinal principle, that the world Is governed
100 much that the Fecuniary evils winch atsiict
the People are no. to be modified by Legislation
and that Irredcemable Paper, especially, IS an un-
rnitigated curse, calculated only to aggravate The
public calamites
Yet what have we SEEM Has not almost every
I,oco.Foce Legislature in the land been engaged
,be past winter in legislasing relieve the pecu-
niary endorsements Of the People passing
Relief and Stay Laws, which enable their citizens
10 keep their property yet postpone the payment
Of their Debts 7-Legislation which the U. ;. Su-
pteme Court has most justly pronounced uncon-
,,;,utional7 And have not seen these loud de-
chalmers for equal rights and equal laws pass
ing such acts on the one hand releasing the Deot-
ccs of Banks from any constraint to pay, yet com
pellipg the Banks meet their obligations ngoio
and silver at all times under severe penalties and
forfei.ures4 And this is called Democracy
But again: The Loco-Focos in the Kentucky
Legislature, having ridden the Relief hobby to
she utmost, both 20 get in and after they got In,
ne, their hearts On Commonwealth Bank, to loan
an indefinite amount of money for the relief OF the
People. This Bank was to be based on credit
purely, and was not even required or expected to
nav specie. For this monstrous project, thirty
one of the forty.one Loco-Focos in the House
voted! If they had been able to carry It, when
their Bank should blow up three years hence,
their party would have yelled in triumph over the
rested worthlessness of Wig Currency
But once more: Let consider the Demo
cracy of the recent Locs-Foco appointments OF
Congressional Districts, OF which Penasylvenla
os,u una Illinois afford striking examples. We
have already exhibited by figures the injustice and
iniquiry of these appointments. Let US farther
examine the Ohio Appcrtionment, as forcibly ex-
hibited in an Address just issued by the Wing
Members of the late Legislature After exhibit
