The Bankruptcy Bill.

The bankruptcy bill, which the Com
merclal convention held in Washing
ton recently, agreed to recommend to
congress, is substantially the Lowell
bill as amended by the senate judiciary
committee of the last congress. The
recommendation of the committee that
person who is actually insolvent who
has been "dealing in futures" shall be
deemed liable to bankruptcy was strick-
en- out by the convention. Another i'm
portant change was to give bankrupts
an exemption to the amount of $1,000.
There was no exemption at all in the
Lowell bill, as agreed upon by the ju-
dietary committee. The Lowell bill
abolishes the fee system of remunerating
officials, and provides for their compen-
sation by the payment of salaries. The
powers of the commissioners acting as
ancillary judges are enlarged for the
accommodation and protection of suit
ors, especially in sparsely settled dis
tricts, and in those districts where the
business does not warrant the main
tanning of extra court machinery,
the judge himself will perform the Ia
bors of the commissioner. The trustees
must account more expeditiously and
the estate must be wound up more rap
icly than before. No expenses can be
incurred save by sanction of commit
tee of direction elected by the credit
ors. The entire proceedings are placed
under the care of new salaried officer,
termed a supervisor, whose duty it is
made to guard the interests of all con-
cerned by detecting wrong-doing, or
omissions of duty, and reporting the
same. The composition clause con-
tains many provisions tending to pro-
tect the rights of creditors as we'll as of |
debtors. Discharges cannot be OBJ
tanned as easily as under the former
law, and the section devoted to crimes
and their punishment has been found to
overcome the constitutional objections
urged against the former provisions on
the subject. The convention adopted
about twenty changes, the most i'm
portant of which are mentioned above.

The political party that seeks to array the one
against the other is an enemy to both. The pc
litical party that checks investment, and deters
capital from embarking in new enterprises by
continually menacing our protective tariff sys-
tenn, is equally an enemy to both labor and cap
ital While change is thus threatened capital
will remain in retirement, and labor will lack
its accustomed employment Men will not build
new factories or enlarge the labor capacity OF
those already built while a tariff for revenue
Exclusively remains a possibility. For twenty
four years the Republican party has maintained
aproteetive tariff system and it intends to con
hnue that system Under it the Nation has
made giant strides in development, wealth and
general prosperity. Business interests are ad-
justed to the system, and depend upon 1t for
continued prosperity. No change of sys-
tenn is needed. The Democratic
party offers only experiments. Its
Those it now offers are fraught with danger to
to the laboring man, to the mechanic, to the
manufacturer and to the farmer. In his speech
to the ''Autocrats' on July Is, 1884, Mr.. Hen
bricks said: 1.-THE policy of the Republican party
is the cause of so much distress when the banks
are breaking, and families are suffering because
men cannot get the proceeds of their labor from
the banks That was silly speech Its pur-
pose to create unjust prejudice is apparent.
That it is an untrue statement, is proved and adj
mitted by Mr.. Hendricks himself in that same
speech. In the sentence before, and again in the
sentence after the one just quoted, he admits
that our country is now very prosperous, and
tries to account for its wonderful prosperity
without giving any credit to Republican admin
istration. He would have come far nearer the
truth if he had stated that the Morrison tariff
bill and the agitation of the tariff question by
the Democratic party in Congress last
winter have done much toward causing
cessation of investment stagnation in
trade, and stringency in all business
and labor interests. The Republican party
offers stability, certainty and confidence in the
continuance of q protective tariff system
that has brought to our Nation unexampled
prosperity. The Democratic party offers insta-
bility, uncertainty, change, experiment. unrest,
and threatens tariff system that
has blighted the Nation with bankruptcy
every time it has been tried. Which will you
support2 Cleveland and Hendricks have issued
their letters of acceptance, in which they say
they approve and accept the Democratic plat
form; but neither of them says word about
the tariff question. The people had a right to
expect from these candidates frank explana-
ton of what the Democratic platform means on
this most vital question of tariff; but they are
silent on the question. No one wonders at Mr..
Hendrieks's approval of this plank of the plat
form. 1t is in accord with his nature and mental
habit 1t faces both ways, and seems expressly
designed for q Straddle.
