fuss from the Democratic papers about
the Foraker boards" Whose boards is
1t we are hearing from now2
THE latest returns from Idaho give
the Republicans forty-two Of the fifty
two members of the legislature in that
new state. This means an addition Of
two United States senators of the Re-
publican faith.
The tin-plate industry is already es-
establishing in America as the result OF
the Mckinley tariff bill. Millions OF
dollars will be invested and multiplied,
thousands of skilled workmen will be
given employment at American wages.
The governor has ordered his peni-
tentiary managers to cease paroling
prisoners until after the election it is
presumed. This is very diplomatic.
The Democratic papers will give him
another humping for cutting down
their vote bysuch summary process.
The most aborninable, foolish and
idiotic lies ever gotten up by the Demo-
cratic state committee are being sent
out now to gull the people. These boiler
plate inventions are the products of
couple Of chaps whose words will not
pass muster in their own party where
they are known. The stuff is too silly to
be mentioned. It contradicts itself.
Ex-PREsDENT HAYES has denied over
his own signature the Democratic
forgery that he was opposed to the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. To those who know
Gen. Hayes denial was not necessary,
besides the ex-president is capable of ex-
pressing himself in English. The lying
interview carried with it its own brand
Of being fabrication.
The one thing necessary for the Re-
publicans to do is to get out the full
party vote on election day. Do this,
and the result will be most glorious
victory. Organize and vote and that
will settle the case. Everything is
going in favor of the Republicans, and
every Republican should turn out on
election day and take hand in the
victory to be achieved.
We have had nearly thirty years ex-
perience of protective tariff. During
that time the population of the country
has little more than doubled, while
the National wealth has increased more
than three-fold, and in proportion to
population 20 per cent. more families
own the homes which they occupy than
in 1850. True, we have among us men
Of overgrown fortunes; but there were
plenty Of millionaires before 1850. We
shall always have rich people and poor
people. That Is one of the incidents OF
civilization. But we have il the Unit
ed States, in pro. zion to p)pulat o !,
three-fold more general dis 4lbution d
wealth, four-fold more of the comforts
Of life and six-fold greater opportunities
for acquiring homesteads (whether or
farms or in cities and villages) than ar
enjoyed by the people of any natiol
now in existence, or that has existe,
} since the days of Noah. And, be It re
membered, we have, during that period
Of thirty years, been living under Ma
tional laws enacted by Republican con
gresses-laws which were opposed +

THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, NOV. S-p n.
By the operations of the New-York Sub-Treas-
ury for the week ended last evening which in
cluded the payment of S22,705 for purchased
bonds, the New-York banks lost 81 ,36G.494 cash.
The net interior movement of the week Is es-
timated by competent authority to have been
81 500, 00O AS the banks losses to the Sub
Treasury nearly all were on Thursday and Fri
day, the two items amounting to S2,0OO,OoO
should hardly count in the bank averages for loss
Of more than 100000 cash. But to-day's bank
statement of averages returns loss of $4,254,oO9
cash. There evidently has been more monkey
ing" with the money market by Withdrawals and
locking up of money. There is some significance
in the small contraction Of $936,2oo in loans.
The reported decline of $4,o31,loo in the de-
posts is $500, greater than the other changes
call for. The statement results in deficit OF
So ,544,25O from the reserve required by the 70
per cent rule against surplus OF $7oi ,9Io iast
week and against a deficit OF $.60,S5o November
8, 1885, and surpluses of 81 ,557.6O0 November
10, 1883, and S5,5s7,4O0 November IL, 1887.
