European tour on Tuesday evening, and
was awarded very numerously attended
as we'll as enthusiastic and noisy reception.
Michigan avenue from Harrison street to
the Illinois Central Depot, was crowded
with people, and we'll ordered procession
of the city officials and police waited upon
him. Carter couldn't we'll feel otherwise
than flattered by such demonstration and
addressed the crowd in his happlest vein.

The democrats of Massachusetts in
state convention Tuesday nominated Gen.
Benz. F. Butler for Governor. He had
previously been nominated by the Green
back Labor party. A platform OF nine
planks was adopted, the most important
referring to the tariff, as follows;
I. Thorough and immediate reform of
the tariff The constitution of the United
States sanctions taxation, whether by ex-
else, impost or customs, to the amount of
the necessary expenditures of the Govern.
ment, whether in war or peace, to which
all its revenues must be limited. National
expenditures are now SO great that all
proper protection can be given American
labor within those limits. Therefore, we
call upon congress TO reform the present
war taxes, that hundreds of millions may
not be, as now, needlessly extracted from
the earnings Of our people to lie in the
treasury as a temptation to wicked and
reckless appropriations for extravagant
public buildings und useless and wasteful
river and harbor bills; that no taxes shall
be levied upon the necessaries OF lite or
raw material which Is not found or pro-
duced IN our country; that the tariff shall
be so iudlciously adjusted that American
commerce shall be fostered, and, above all
American labor elevated and amply re-
warded. We affirm that all these results
can be fully realized under a tariff limited
IN amount to the sum necessary and ade-
quate for revenue.

The republican politicians are Of course
fully aware of this fact, and while lodging
the prohibition question in their state con-

are giving in~ardly the fullest practical

English Bank-Notes-How They Are
Made and Printed-The Forger's
Heartbreaker,


While on his rounds recently, Cicvc-
land Herald reporter ran into an eK-
change office, where Che bookkeeper
was handling some foreign bank notes.
Among them was new Bank Of Erg-
land note for E10. It was beautiful
specimen Of papermaking and printing,
and inquiries as to the way in which it
was made brought out the following ex-
pianation Of the process:
Said The money changer: 1.-The Bank
of England notes are the most uncoun-
terfeitable of any securities in the world.
1t is n simple matter to learn their peeu-
liarities, and once learned it is impossi-
BILE to pass a counterfeit upon a man
knowing those peculiarities. They are
in both the paper and the plate and type
printing of the note. First notice the
paper! 1t is distinguished by its pecu-
liar pink color. Such paper is never
seen and is made and used for no other
purpose. See how thin and transparent
it is! Those qualities are made specially
to prevent any portion of the printing
being erased by the knife or acid-wash-
ing. the two specialties of American
counterfeiters and forgers. Take the
note in your hands! 1t is peculiarly
tough and crisp. Those qualities are
brought out by the paper being made
entirely from new linen and cotton, and
not from rags.
''Do you see the peculiar water mark,
or wire mark rs it is calledP That is
produced by a special mold used when
the paper is in pulp. Do you see that
rough edge on the ends? That's called
the deckle, and is also produced when
the paper is in pulp. Two notes are
placed in a mold when they are in pulp
and divided lengthways. Hence the
top and bottom. or long edges, are al
ways rough. This deckle cannot be
initiated by cutting. The paper is also
exceedingly strong. 1t is said that
bank-note evenly adjusted will lift
hundred pounds weight without tearing.
Do you see the difficulties forger must
overcome before he can even produce
the paper on which the note is printed?
"Every process described requires the
skill of an artisan, whose high remune-
ration keeps him from any necessity of
dishonesty, and necessity makes the
majority of thieves. Look at the print
ing! Besides the water or wire work,
which is beautifully regular and intri-
cate, plate print is Autographed over
the face of the note. Then the type
printing is done. The paper is moist
ened first by atmospheric pressure, S0,-
600 double notes being dampened in an
hour.
1.-The printing ink is also made at the
Bank of England, from linseed oil and
the charred husks and vines of Rhenish
grapes, which produces impressions Of
peculiarly velvety black, especially in
the heavier figures. After printing, the
notes are numbered by machine, which,
unlike man, cannot err, and lastly are
indorsed by the Secretary. The bank
notes are printed IN typo on the side of
the paper that receives the water mark,
and even IN the event Of Che note being
split another OF the forger's favorite
tricks, the imprinted surface would only
retain slight trace of the type and
water marks"
