Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-10-08

Republican senators from the West, who
have given it the enormous pecuniary sup
port which has enabled the ring to control
many newspapers and to place an army of
lobbyists in the field. In Ohio. in spite of
the desperate efforts Of the Republicans to
direct attention from the tariff, we are
likely to hold them to it and defeat them
signaly in November. II we win it will be
great victory for tariff reform, for we
have, of course, been Handicapped by the
free silver blunder in the p,~ FORM. If we
lose (Which does not seem at s-' probable),
all will agree that free silver dr. it. The
people Of Ohio are beginning, however, to
understand that the Democracy Of the state
Of Ohio are at least sounder than their Ee
publican opponents on this question and liz
fnitely less hypocritical in their attitude,
for the Democratic disposition there is to
ignore the silver question, considering ito
position mistaken, untimely and adopted
without proper consideration. 1t takes no
very astute mind or remarkably keen vision
to see that ''free silver' is dead, and that
after this falls elections it will cease to be
an issue.
1t is the aim of Mr.. Harter's article in
the Forum to substitute an issue for it and
to place in the possession of the Democratic
party one which will be only second in
value to the tariff. Armed with the tariff
and an equitable, popular and sound bank
ing system. opposition to the Democratic
party in 1899 will be as futile as King Ca
nute's attack upon the waves OF the sea.
If, after a careful reading of the Forum ar
ticle, you are convinced that it is not or"
safe but that it provides for a restoration
of the party to its time-honored position on
the great subject of banking. l know you
will give it strong support, and here l leave
the matter. Respectfully yours,
A. B. FARQUHAR.

THE HARTER PLAN.
How an Ohio Congressman Would Modify
the National Banking Law to Secure
Permanent Bank System.
The Forum.

l. The list of bonds acceptable as security
for circulating notes should be enlarged so
as to include state. county, city and railroad
bonds pnder the following rules:
Street railroad bonds are excluded because
their franchises are usually of short duration:
and bonds secured by mortgage upon farms
and other real estate have always proved in
ferIor and usually unsafe security for bank
notes.
(a). All bonds thus rendered available
must be registered, and the principal and
interest must be payable III gold OF the pres
ent standard OF weight and fneness.
There are enough bonds of this kind now in
existence and available to increase the bank
note circulation several hundred millions: and
most bonds issued hereafter would naturally he
registered. and payable in gold.
(b). All such bonds must have been listed
for at least five years prior to their deposit
as security for circulation, upon at least
one stock exchange located in some city in
the United States having a population of
son, 900 or more.
This would exclude all bonds except those
having weli-established character. as well as
recognized high value.
(c). No bond which has ever been in de-
fault for non-payment of interest or which
mas SOLD on any stock exchange below par
WITHIN nve years, or which has sold on any
STOCK exchange at less than premium of D
per cent above par within three years of its
proposed deposit as security for c1rcula-
ton, shall be accepted under this law.
The result of this would probably be that the
bonds deposited as security for circulation
would nave an average gold market value OF at
least no. which would make them to-day very
much better security for bank note circulation
than United States bonds were from 1859 TO
1885.
(d). No state bond representing per
capita debt of over two dollars for each of
its citizens. no county bond representing a
per capita debt OF over four dollars. and no
city bond representing a per capita debt of
over eight dollars, shall be accepted as Sc
curity for bank-notes.
The object of this is to discourage rather than
encourage the increase OF state. county and citT

He heard the old man call sharply. MIR
Beck ran to him. Not understanding the

too late. Vanvactar staggered to the next

was over. The deceased was sixty.nine
years old the day before his death. He is
said to have some distant relatives about
Queens Peak. They have been notified.
He was unmarried and was somewhat &C.

SIR.-In your issue Of December ap-
pears a letter from GrsySville, w. Va,
IN which the writer attempts to defend
the LIQUOR traffic. He claims that the
PrOhibitioniSts have no proof that the
water Christ turned into wine was not
intoxicating. Granted. Everyone is
aware that there can be no alcohol I'M
oil fermentation has set in, and when
a thing ferments IL is in the first stage
Of rOttenneSS, and Christ never made rot
tennesS. Another objection Is that
Prohibition will interfere with the
rights OF the citizen. But OF course
saloons must have the right
10 lure young men into paths that
bring destruction and shame to them
selves and all connected 10 them, and
end in death and a drunkard's grave.
Must have the right to rob men Of their
hard-earRed money that should 20 10
clothe, feed and educate their families.
That is indeed a noble right to claim.
lie further argues that the drunkard
can be convinced OF his folly aud will
admit that they are wrong, but not more
than one In fifty has the determination
and will power to reform for any
length Of time. He speaks OF 'the
proper instruction OF children at
your fireSideS." Yes, thousands
have received proper instruc-
tion and still have gone

fuence of comrades and the social
glass The sin, the crime and the Sor-
row that is born OF the rum traffic is
greater than that Of all other evil in

tic that puts 20 per cent. of the GRIM

Only three rounds were fought, but
they proved enough, as Kenny was no

the best work until the latter part OF
the round, when first blood was claimed

some very hard blows were struck by
both men. but the Englishman was cool
and aid nor strike unless he had a good
oDeping. When he did let go with
either hand it was with telling effect.
They came together repeatedly In the
second round, and each time they
cIinched the referee had to separate
