Cincinnati Il Birm'nsha M RaiIroat

For the past few months there has
been a good deal of talk about an air lire
through road from Birmingham to Gin
cinnati, and though there has been but
little demonstration about the matter, a
number OF prominent capitalists Of the
north and south have interested them
selves in the affair, and have stirred up
the old company, which was granted a
charter some time ago. Speaking OF the
road, the Nashville Democrat SAYS:
President M. R. Campbell, of the Gin
cinnati and Birmingham railroad, left for
New York City ten days ago. for the pur-
pose OF negotiating for funds to start the
new line. Every other preparation
seems to have been made, and the only
thing necessary now to commence and
push it to completion is money. This
will. it is reasonably sure, be obtained in
New York.

Such combinations have always been
condemned by the Democratic party.
The declaration OF its National conven-
tion Is sincerely made. and no member
of our party will be found excusing the
existence or belittling the pernicious
results OF these devices to wrong the
people. Under various names they
have been punished by the common
law for hundreds OF years, and they
have lost none OF their hateful features
because they have assumed the name
OF trusts instead Of consplracies. We
believe that these trusts are the nat
ural offspring OF a market artihcially
restricted; that an inordinately high
tariff, besides furnishing the tempta-
tion for their existence, enlarges the
limit within which they may operate
against the people and thus increase
tho extent OF their power for wrong
doing. With an unalterable hatred

Farmer whiting Quotes History for the
Benefit OF Tarifr Faisifers.
Public prints and speakers on the
side Of high tariff unblushingly teach
that panics are caused by low tariffs.
The noted panic Of 1S37-40 is made o
specimen case. A reverend political
orator in o recent speech at this place
(Tiskilwa, ILL. after an appeal to
God TO witness that ne would tell the
truth, Immediately fell into the cur
rent error that the panic Of 1887 was
caused by the tariff, and other panics
had like cause. He also stated that
President Harrison ran upon the same
issue which the grandson now repre-
sents.
There affirm that the panic of 1887
was not tariff panic. further state
that President Harrison did not run on
a high tariff issue. That panic was a
financial panic. The United States
bank had recently gone out and the
vacuum was filled by brood of Wild
cat banks without proper foundation
or limits as to their issues. Wild
speculation was engendered. Useful
industry was neglected for the more
speedy road to wealth by speculation.

The Democratic party; and the Re-

party of obstruction and negation. It
admits the burning Importance of rev.

to the well-considered and well-nfa-
tured Democratic plan. It's platform

bacco, sooner than reduce the tariff on
