TIE NEW FOLLY.

a year ago, it was the silver craze that
Ook sensible people off their feet.
Now, many of them are beginning to
see the folly of 1t.
This Fall, "the Ohio Idea" that was so
carefully nursed by the Democracy, was
repudiated.
Now, we have word from Washington,
that there is to be sprung new measure
for financial agitation. War is to he made
on the National Banks, and it is said this
will receive, as the silver measure did, the
support Of many Republicans.
Let the people at once notify their rep
resentatives, that all tinkering with the
currency must cease. A. long as we have
Congress fooling with the currency, we
cannot expect stability ur n revival OF bus.
ineSS. Congress wants to keep its hands Off
The National Banks are n blessing to
the country. II they have undue privil-
eges, IL might be well TO curtail them.
But any project for abolishing the Nation
al Bank system, or Withdrawing their
circulation, will result in disaster to bust
meas, and should not he countenanced.
The system is the best this country, or any
other ever saw. The losses to the people
from National Banks, are far less than by
the private or savings banks Of the conn-
try, and the advantages are many. The
stories OF the immense profits they make
are pure fabricatiOns. Their average pro-
Its in the whole country, for nine years
past, as shown by the late report OF the con-
tnOller OF the currency, is only ITO per
cent, while their profit from their circua-
ton, amounts only to q per cent. on their
bonds. At the same time, they pay SIG,
100000 year taxes, 10 the National and
State Government.
A system that is sound and as beneficial
to the public as this, and which Is free to
every body, should not be suffered to go
down before the shallow cry OF demagogles
and trieksters. And 10 tamper with II in
its present condition Of business would be
