A point Well Scored.

One OF the resolutions of the Prohib:-
tion State Convention raises an issus
which at least does not belong to last
years birds nests.
In this resolution the charge is delib-
erately made that the Sinking Fund
needlessly sold 81 600, 600 of interest,
bearing Government bonds and deposit
ed the proceeds among favorite banks
which pay the State no interest. This
action is denounced as "a gross piece OF
mismanagement" and "a wanton viola
ton" of the laws for investing the
money of the Commonwealth in State
and ne tional securities.
The grave statement here made by a
respectable body OF the citizens OF Penn
sylvania Is one which neither the Sink
ing Fund Commissioner nor the Repub-
lIcan candidate for State Treasurer can
afford to iguore. While it is true that
the candidate is not responsible for the
financial acts of the Sinking Fund CON-
mission, he was nominated by the same
political Influences that control the
state Treasury. Ifhe should be elected
State Treasurer, Speaker Boyer would
be expected TO pursue the same policy
that now prevails in the management OF
the Commonwealth.
The people OF Pennsylvania have a
high interest in the election OF a State
treasurer who will infexibly obey the
laws relating to the public finances, and
who will not manipulate the Treasury
balances for the promotion Of private
interests. This is what the Prohibition
State Convention charges against the
present State Treasurer and his sssoci-
ates In the Sinking Fund Commission.
In the election of State Treasurer this
All the question is whether the abuse
shall be arrested.
Ibe Prohibitionists have done well in
bringing this important matter before
the people of the Commonwealth.

SIX millions increase OF the public
deot during the month of August ,
That Is the record of the Harrison Ad-
ministration. And it has managed to
effect this increase in spite Of purchases
during the month of Gogernmenr bonds
by the Treasury to the amount of some
$40 100000. The real increase of the
countTy's obligations is, therefore,
many millions IN excess OF the Treasury
statement. In July there was another
increase of something over a million.
This might have been accidental, but
when figures like those for August con-
front the people they may be pardoned
for doing some thinking. What be-
comes of Republican professions of
economy ? We suggest that a Star
Chamber Committee, composed of Rub
Der Stamp Window, ard God-Help-
the surplus Tauner, be appointed to
consider the problem and report a solu-
tion. The explanation, if any can be
offered, should be of a nature to adapt

THE PLATFORM.

The platform AS reported by Mr.. III.
;. Cayanaugh, OF Northampton. from
the committee Oh resolutions is a fol.
lows
The Democracy OF Pennsylvan ia, in
convention assembled, declare
l. That all powers not expressly
granted 10 the general government are
withheld and a sacred observance OF the
rule OF construction contained in .he
tenth amendment to the constitution
itself, is essentia! 10 the preservation of
the principles OF home rule, aud of pure.
honest and economical Government, TO
the end that labor may not be robbed
o. the bread IL has earned.
>. We applaud the action OF President
Cleyel ,nd and our Democratic represen-
tstives in Congress looking TO tariff tax
reform, and We re-aflirm the declaration
OF principles made by the Democracy
OF the Union at -. Louis in 1888, es-
pecially that demanding a revision of
and reduction of tariff taxes for the
relief at once OF American labor, AmerS
repeal OF such tariff taxes, as low invite
and protect monopoly greed that lssssns
production, lessens employment os
labor, decreases wages and increases
cost TO consumers, aud by the admission
OF raw material free of duty in all cases
where it will enlarge our products,
multiply our markets and increase de-
mand for labor.
3. We regard trusts, in whatever
form organized, as the result of the ex-
isting monopoly tariff. and We demand
the repeal OF such tariff taxes as enable
them To control domestic production.
by unlawful combination, and TO extort
from the people exorbitant prices for
their products.
4. We accept the decision OF the peo>
pie OF Pennsylvania rendered oy the
ballot on the Prohibitory Amendment
as a declaration in favor OF a reasona-
BILE, Just and effective regulation of the
traffic IN ardent spirits. We bold that
the agreement of the Republican party
through its representatives in the Legis
iature TO the proposed Prohibitory
Amendment to the Constitution, and
its defeat at the polls iE spite of the
Republican majority of so, 600 votes, are
facts that establish beyond doubt the
hypocrisy of the Republican leaders in
their treatment OF the question OF Pco-
hihition.
3. We hold The Republican party re-
sprusibie for the failure-s failure will
fully and corruptiy tucurred-to en-
force by appropriate legislation the
sixteenth and seventeenth articles
OF the Constitution, designed to protect
the land and labor, the people and in
dustries OF this commonwealth.
G. We bold the Republican party re-
spousible for the failure o pass any Jaw
Tor he relief OF the manua! iaborers OF
the State of Pennsylvania, and We re-
commend the enactment OF such laws as
will give equal protection and equal op-

portunities in every branch OF Industry
to ali citizens irrespective of race, re-
hgion or nativity. We also hold the Re-
publican party responsible for the fail
ure OF the Legislature to consider favor
ably the ps,ition of the workingmen and
farmers of this State for the equalization
OF the burdens OF taxation and for relief
from the exactions of monopoly.
4. We hold the Republican party
responsible for the notorious corrup;ious
which have for many years prevailed in
the management Of the State Treasury,
Tor the system of depositing loans with
out interest, enricaing favorites of the
ring by The use of the public money, and
for the 1agrant violation OF law by the
Commissioners of the sinking fund, and
We pledge the faith of the Democratic
party tat The candidate this day nom
mated will, if elected, reform these
wrongs.
s. We favor the Australian ballot sys-
tenn as adapted To meet the require.
ments of our constitution, and the spe-
cial wants of our people, in order to Sc
cure the freedom and purity of elec>
tioDs menaced by the combined power
of monopoly and the corruption OF Re-
publican rings and bosses.
.. That the sufferers by the recent
floods have our sincere sympathy, and
that while we deprscate and condemn
the mauapamat,t On t1a ,ar, os a.
State authorities by which relief to our
sorely afflicted fellow citizens has been
delayed, we urge our
in the legislature to
take such constitutional action as will
give substantial relief to the stricken
10. While we favor a liberal system
of pensions to such veterans of .he late
war as have been houorably discharged
and who from wounds or other physical |
infrmities have been rendered unfit for
or other labor, We deem it un-
Just to that large class OF faithful SOL !
dieIs OF the union who take a Just pride |
IN the heroic achievements OF their |
comrades in arms, that there should be |
added to the pension roll the names of |
my who are not qualified therefor by
,eason of honorable and faithful service
n the line of duty.
The foregoing declarations were
unanimously adopted, as was a resolu-
ion expressing sympathy for the suffer-
ng people OF Ireland, and another en-.
Iorsing the association of Democratic
ubs.
