lege of enjoying the fruits of the ma
ticAal banking system, while the other
95 per cent. suffer the consequences.
The national banking 81 stem will be
thing Of the past if the Subtreasury bill
passes. They know it and that is why
the enemies of the bill kick so hard
against the measure. The Alliance
wants to issue $50 per capita, and will
do it if we press on to success. The
Democracy Of New York is in sympa-
thy with John Sherman of Ohio be-
cause he is for the national banking
system and against the Subtreasurv.
The speaker declared solidly against
the third party movement. "Don't 60
out OF the Democratic party" said he,
"you can't do it and look your wives
and children in the face. Stay in the
grand old party that redeemed South
Carolina in '76, we cannot afford to
leave it for all time to come. There is
no third party in the State. Mr.. Has

institute third party last year-they
went to the bottom never again to rise.
No third party, no, never"

HARRISON on THE SOUTH.
Bloody Shirt.-A Speech to the
People OF Vermont.

MoNTPELLIER, Vermont, Aug. &C.
President Harrison spent the night at
st. Albans and reached here at II
o'clock this morning. He was intro
duced to the Assembly, which was in
session, and spoke briefly in acknow-
ledgment of his welcome. He spoke at
greater length to an open air assem-
blage.
The following is an extract from his
speech:
cit is great thing to be a citizen of
the United States. The association of
the States is a geographical necessity.
We can never consent that hostile
boundaries shall be introduced with all
that such divisions imply. We must
be one from Maine to California, one
from the Lakes to the Gulf, [applause,] ]
and everywhere in all that domain We
must insist that the behests of the
Federal Constitution and of the laws
written in the Federal statute book
shall be loyalty obeyed. [Applause.]
A statesman of one of the Southern
States said to me, with tears in his
eyes, shortly after my Inauguration:
'Nlr. President, I hope you intend to
give the poor people of my State
chance I said in reply: "A chance to
do what? If you mean, sir, that you
shall have a chance to nullify any law
and that I shall wink at the nullifca-
ton of it, you ask that which you
ought not to ask for and that which I
cannot consider. LApplause.]
eff you meaa that obeying every
public Jaw and giving to every other
man his full-rights under the law and
Constitution they abide in my respect
and in the security and peace of our
institutions, then they shall have so
far as in my power lies an equal chance
with all our people. lApplause.]
ave may not choose what laws we
will obey. The choice is made
for us. When the majority have by
lawful methods placed the law upon
the statute book, we may endeavor to
repeal it, we may challenged its wisdom,
but while it is law it challenges our
obedience" [Applause.]

So to Speak.

Woman is wonderfully made! Such
beauty, grace, delicacy and purity are
alone her possessions. So has she
weaknesses, irregularities, functional de-
rangements, peculiar only to herself.
To correct these and restore to health,
her wonderful organism requires a res
torative especially adapted to that pur-
pose. Such an one is DE-. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescriptior-po :essing curative
and regulating properties to remark
able degree. Made for this purpose

cQeaLluS, tue OiSSeSL Ia9Cil Sel9 OiA Iho
lightest.
6. The demand for Government SUI
pervision ofrailroads is AUST one. They
enjoy great privileges and owe proper
service to the public. The value Of all
the railroads in the Union is put at
about IS, ,000, 900, 900 this year. The cen
sus of 1880 gave the value of all in the
Union at SlO,o00,0 O0,CG0. Their pres
ent value I have not seen stated. 1t
can be seen, however, that to purchase
the roads, therefore, would require al
most the full farm values of the coun-
try. At 3 per cent the interest on this
purchase would be S270, 900. Would
the railroads after paying all costs OF
management, return this? How many
railroads pay dividends to-day? Would
they bring more money to the Govern
ment than to the stockholders, when
the object of owning them is to make
rates cheaper? Would the Government
appoint managers for business or po-
litical reasons and change them with
every election? Would the South Caro-
lima Republican leaders manage our
roads better than 1nman, McBee or
Andrews? Which of these would Har-
rison appoint.
7. Why should United States Sena-
tors be elected directly by the people?
To prevent bribery and corruption, Of
course. Will this evil be prevented by
throwing the election into the hands
of the people? In what way? When
Stanford or Jones or Stewart wants a
seat in the Senate, it matters little to
him whether he buys enough votes at
the polls to elect him directly or enough
to elect legislators who will elect him
indirectly. Ifa voter will send bribe-
taker to the Legislature, what will pre-
vent him from sending bribe giver to
the United States Senate? The elec-
ton of Harrison, it is claimed, came
through purchase Of voters at the
polls, not of Presidential electors. Stan
ford must now control the whole State
of California. 1t would be easier and
cheaper for him to be able to confine
his efforts to his own election alone.
Is it not easier to corrupt State nomi-
mating convention, whose members as
semble for day and then dissolve,
than to corrupt Legislature? Where
public opinion sanctions corruption
does it matter in what form the elec-
ton comes?
If any one examines the Constitution
and the debates of the Constitutional
Convention he will see that the pro-
vision regarding Senators is a funda-
mental feature Of our Government.
The Senate represents the State in its
corporate capacity, the House repre-
sents the people. The State elects
through its Legislature, the people
choose their representatives directly.
The seventh demand of the Ocala plat
form would wipe out this recognition
of State rights. Is it worth while to
make this change when there is no GER
tainty of attainining the desired end,
which is to secure a purer form of elect
ing Senators?
Let me not be understood as oppos-
ing all the measures to which I have
shown objections. But since there are
so many orators engaged in portraying
the brightest features of the Ocala plat
form, it is we'll for some one to call at
tention to some of its possible defects.
