BayThe cry of the free traders Is
that every thing is cheaper in free
trade England than here, and that the

General Harrison assuages the for

of the dollar-a-day falsehood by
the Democratic organs in this pro

saying: Has it not occurred TO you
that in this matter about which yOue X

are only illustrating that which has so

the intelligence of our peOple?'
H~The difference between precept !
and practice in the Cleveland Admin
is in no case more strikingly /
than in the free loan Of l
sos, 600. 600 OF the public funds 10 /
favored National banks. The banks |
to be thus accommodated were selected /
by the Secretary Of tue Treasury at
his pleasure. No interest is required /
on the loan. In addition TO receiving /
these large sums free. and which they |
in turn loan to their customers at /
market rates, banks receive from the
Treasury the interest on the bonds /
which they deposit to secure the loan.
