The growth of the National bank
system shows the wisdom of the
Democratic party in forcing through
Congress free banking" Before
that provision was adopted it was al
most impossible to start new Ma
tional bank at the South or West;
since then however, there has been q
rapid extension of banking facilities
in these growing sections where they
were most needed. In 1880 there
were only 2,O45 National banks, with
a capital of $454, 600, 600; in 1884 the
number had increased to 1858, hay-
ing $575, 900, 600 of capital In 1876
the bank currency was 1922, 600, 600;
in 1880 it was 1923, 900, 900 and in
1884 1882, 100000. The increase has
been chiefly in the West and South.
Such are some of the fruits OF Demo-
cratic policy.

In 1872 President Grant appointed
Mr.. ]. G. s. Harrison, banker of
Indianapolis, one of the directors of
the Union Pacific railroad. While
acting in this capacity Mr.. Harrison
declares that he traced directly to
James G. Blaine $4,000, paid him
by the company for services rendered
in Congress. When Harrison was a
delegate to the Republican National
convention of 1876 he sprung this
discovery on Blaine, and it largely
assisted in preventing that statesman 3
nomination. Now that Blaine has
been nominated, Harrison declares
that he will support any good Demo-
crat in preference to one whom he
knows to be bribe-taker, and offers
q contribution to the Democratic
campaign fund to show his sincerity.
Yet there are those who still believe
that Blaine can carry Indiana.

Issues.

The Republican platform is very
long and is drag net sort of concern
intended to catch voters without re-
gard to any particular policy. nthe
main it is meaningless and such is
the pronounced Judgment of many
intelligent Republicans. When the
Democrats shall come to prepare
their platform we hope they will pur-
sue the opposite course and present
a policy clear-cut and straightfor-
ward. We should pay no attention
to what the Republicans have said in
their wordy and windy and involved
schedule of political promises, but in
simple and terse language make our
deliyerance on the vital questions of
the day.
The people demand that the sur
plus should go, and this demand
should be recognized. 1t is calum-
NOUS to ascribe to the Democratic
party any sympathies not associated
with the growth, development, hap
piness and prosperity of the people
and the whole people of the United
States, and inasmuch as an attempt
will be made to fasten on our party
purpose to advance British interests
at the expense of America, care
should be taken to exclude any such
inference from the wording of the
platform indicating our tariff policy.
The foundation rock of Democratic
policy and Democratic principles in
this matter is wise and sterling
patriotism; and it should be carefully
looked to that no such general terms
shall be used in our platform as will
admit of any twisting or turning SO
as to give the basis for any question
or doubt touching our firm and fervid
attachment to American interests.

Il win not be necessary for Demo

It win not be necessary for Demo
cratic journals to dwell upon the
points Of weakness presented in the
personal character of the Republican
nominee for The Presidency. The
leading Republican journals have al
ready performed that service. The
battle for the Presidency will be
fought ON questions OF principle SC
far as the Democracy are concerned.
Mr. Blaine il peculiarly the represen-
tative OF the high tax wing of his
party. and has always appeared IS the
advocate Of lavish appropriations, Of
subsidies to great corporations, of land
grants to railroad companies, Of that
paternalian which robs nineteen
tWentisths OF the people of their hard
eanaings toearish the other twentieth.
The present system of federal taxa
tom grew up while Blaine was at the
head of hts party in Congress. The
esa OF subsidy and the lobby began
when he took up the Speakers gavel.
He mas the deus SC ntackiaa in ell the
great jobs that were put through

majority OF the American people.

One thing the country is assured
OF in the Chicago Republican plat
form and that is that the Republican
party is pledged to tax the people for
something besides the necessary reve-
nue.. The tariff resolution declares
that 1.-THE imposition of duties on
foreign imports shall be made not for
rereaae only"
II the taxation on imported articles
used by the American people is not
to De for revenue only, then what in
the name Of justice is it to be for p
Is the money wrung from the indus
try OF the country by this means to
be for plumber or distribution among
favored classes?
The Republican wiseacres at Chica-
go deserve be hearty thanks of the
Democracy for putting that impudent
declaration into their platform. They
will wish they had omitted it before
the ldes OF November shall have come

The Democratic Opportunity.

g. Blaine is not SO powerful as to
attract the whole body of his party
10 his support. There is not an in
dependent Journal of any standing or
influence, from Maine to California,
that does not oppose the election of
Blaine. Indeed some of the most
reputable and influential Republican
newspapers are as pronounced and
emphatic in their opposition to the
Republican nominee as any Demo-
cratic newspaper in the land.
The Boston Advertiser, Springfield
Mass. Republican, Worcester { Mass.
Spy, New York Times, New York
Evening Post and Brooklyn Union are
prominent among the Republican
journals which have already announc-
ed their hostility to Blaine. These
papers supported every Republican
candidate for the Presidency from
Fremont to Garfield.
The independent journals of note
which oppose the election of Blaine
are the Boston Herald, New Haven
News, New York Herald, New York
Morning journal, New York Truth,
New York Stats Zeitung, Puck, Phil
adelphia Record, Philadelphia Times
and Chicago Times. Other independ-
end journals deplore the action of the
Republican convention in making him
the nominee.
These newspapers are read daily by
not less than a million voters. The
influence they viii exert upon the
minds of intelligent and thoughtful
people.wi be quite sufficient to en-
sure Mr.. Blaine's defeat. Already a
movement for the nomination of
another ticket which shall represent
the Unaffected Republican element is
in contemplation.
The opportunity is thus once more
presented to the Democrats to make
winning fight for the Presidency
Only the gravest and most inexcusa-
bic error on the part of the Democratic
national convention can prevent Dem
ocratie success in November.
The nomination of an experienced
Statesman, whose public record is
proof of his capacity and integrity
and whose views on the subjects of
finance, taxation and the foreign pol
icy OF the government are soundly
Democratic, and the adoption of a
platform which shall declare unequiv-
ocally for constitutional revenue
tariff laid to relieve labor OF its bur
dens, viii place the success of the
Democracy beyond question or doubt.
It should be an agreeable duty to
every delegate to the Democratic
national convention to aid in the Sc
lection of such candidate and the
adoption of such a platform and
neither personal prediction, nor
pride of opinion, nor any feeling or
sentiment should be permitted to
defect the convention from delibe-
rate choice in both these important
matters.

Constitution than to tax the people
