HARRISON MANAGERS SCARED.
Blaine Republicans I'm Indiana Will
Vote for Cleveland.

An Indianapolis dispatch to the New York
Tribune says: ''The Harrison managers in
Indiana are panic stricken over the Blaine
secessionsts at Fort Wayne. Saturday Harry
c. Hanna, a prominent lawyer and influential
Blaine Republican of Fort Wayne, resigned
his membership on the State committee be-
cause he could not conscientionsly work for
Harrison. Monday Chairman Gawdy, of the
state central committee, hastened to Fort
Wayne to check the impending Blaine bolt,
but within two hours after his arrival in the
anti Harrison stronghold the majority of the
Allen county Republican committee, including
Chairman Veasey, rendered their resigna-
tions.
Mcdonald, the millionaire electric light
man, and ex-congressman j. B. White, who
took the Fort Wayne Blaine Club to Wash.
ington at their own expense, are said to be at
the bottom of the revolt. The anti Harrison
feeling is so strong there that whoever accepts
the chairmanship of the county will be ostra-
cised by the business and professional element
of the Republican party of Fort Wayne.
Captain White, who was in the Fiftieth
Congress as Republican and who stumped
his district for Harrison four years ago, is
outspoken for Cleveland. Most of the Blaine
Republicans say they will vote for Cleveland
and the Republican State ticket. Their scheme
is to hnmiliate Harrison by electing the State
and defeating the national ticket. This feel
ing extends all over the State, but only in
Fort Wayne is it outspoken.
"Allen county gave Cleveland 1890 major
ity four years ago, but Blaine Republicans
now offer to wager that this year the majo rity
will be 5000. The county was the third
county in the State to instruct for Cleveland,
and the district sent two radical Cleveland del
egates to Chicago. Even without the Repub-
lican disaffection Cleveland is 500 votes
stronger than four years ago, as he will get
the solid German vote.n

Taxation of State Banks.

The very able speech of Hon. Chas. b.
Roberts, which is he delivered in the House
of Representatives sixteen years ago and
which published on the fourth page of this
issue, discusses a question that is designed
to play an important part in the present
campaign, particularly in the South and
West, where the subject of currency is a
matter of great prominence. The subject
of Mr. Roberts speech was taxation of
state banks, he speaking upon bill intro
duced by himself to reduce the Federal
tax to an amount equal to that imposed
on national banks. He was deeply inter
ested in the subject, and showed the in
Justice Of the present discrimination,
against state banks, and its unconstitu-
tionality, because it practically destroyed
reserved right of the states. In support
of his views Mr.. Roberts quoted the
decisions of Chief Justice Chase and other
eminent jurisls, and the following from
that eminent statesman, Daniel Webster,
who in his day vas the leader of he oppo-
sition to Democracy
"My opinion is that currency emana-
ting partly from national authority as
broad in It's origin as the whole country,
and partly from local banks organized as
our banks now are, and issuing paper for
local circulation, is better currency for
the whole people than ever before existed
in the world. Each Of these classes of in
stitutions, and each of these kinds of cur
rency, has its own proper use aad value.
The theory laid down by Mr.. Webster,
is likely TO be given practical effect, and
state and national currency is not far dis
tant The first step is TO do away with
the unjust and unconstitutional tax dis
eriminatioD against state banks, and TO
Mr.. Roberts is due the credit of taking
the initial step by presenting in the House
of Representatives bill for this purpose.
He has the satisfaction of seeing his party
take stand practically on the ground he
occupied sixteen years before, for the Dem
ocratic platform adopted at Chicago dee
clares for the abolition Of the tax on stat
banks. We commend Mr.. Roberts speech
to our readers, and especially to the young
men, who will find a brief history of the
imposition of the tax on state banks and
some constitutional law on taxation and
the powers of the Federal government and
the rights of the states.

A Chairman Secured.

After long sea.ch the Republicans have
at last succeeded in getting a chairman for
their National Committee
The position had been offered in turn to
John S. Clarkson, Redfeld Proctor, of
Vermont; Ex-Governor Cheney, of New
Hampshire; Joseph H. Manley, of Maine;
Samuel C. Fessenden, of Connecticut; Mel
son W. Aldrich, John c. Spooner and
Henry C. Payne.
Mr.. Clarkson wanted Il reelection, but
Mr.. Harrison was opposed to him, and he
declined, and all the others declined in sue
cession. Finally Thomas H. Carter, of
Montana, Land Commissioner, was elected.
sPublic Office is public trust, according
to civil service reformers, one of whom Mr..
Harrison processes to be, but in this in
stance it will be private snap, to maintain
Mr.. Carter while he manages the colonial

ranges to purchase voters in "blocks of

How it Was Done.

The New York correspondent of the Balti-
iaore Sun says:
The recent hint that a draft would have to
be made on the veteran reserve Of the G. o.
p. TO get chairman for the national COM
mittee seems to have been taken, if the true
story of Mr.. Carter acceptance, as related
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel today, is reliable.
1t is stated that when the committee met last
Saturday it was agreed that Garrett j. Hobart,
of New Jersey, should be elected chairman.
He was the only member of the committee
who had not declined and it was believed
that he could be relied upon 10 accept when
he returned from Europe. The plan was on
the point of being carried out, when White
law Reid was escorted into parlor DR.. Mr.
Reid vehementy opposed the selection, not
because he objected to Mr.. Hobart, but be-
cause he feared Mr.. Hobart might decline
and thus spread further encouragement
through the ranks of the party. Mr.. Reid
theH !old the committee that he and Presi
dent Harrison wanted the committee to
elect chairman from those present, and
do it at once, so as to atop the talk about
the difficulty of finding chairman. A few
minutes later dispatch came from the Presi
leHt absolutely commanding Mr.. Carter TO ac-
cept the ehairmanship. Carter resisted as
long as be copld, and then became most
unwilling chairpan.

Mr.. Cleveland on the Pariff Plank,

CHICAGO, July lS-Mr. Ralph E. Hoyt, of
California, now temporarily residing in Chi
cago. recenty wrote letter to exPresident
Cleveland touching his Endorsement of the
tariff plank in the Chicago platform. Mr.
Hoyt is an old-time Republican and now a
single taxer; but will support the Democratic
ticket on the ground of tariff reform. In his
letter to Mr.. Cleveland he expressed the hope
that the candidate for President would see
bis way clear to indorse without qualification
the anti-protection plank in the Chicago plat
form. No answer was solicited or expedited,
but to-day Mr.. Hoyt received an autograph
letter from Mr.. Cleveland of which the fol
lowing is copy:

Your Letter of July is at hand, and am
exceedingly gratifed to learn ofyour intention
to support the principles and candidates of
the Chicago convention. | think no sincere
advocate of honest tariff can be dissatisfied
with the position the Democratic party has
assumed on that subject, and am sure none
need fear that the contest will not be made
on the lines laid down, which have already
proved to be so acceptable to great majority
of the people, Very truly yours.

The Democratic advocate., 1892-07-23

In discussing the tariff in the House of
Representatives, Congressman Frank p.
Coburn, of Wisconsin, closed his very able
speech as follows:
"The power ofthe government to tax must
be confined TO its need of revenue, and the
industries of the country be placed upon
legitimate aud respectable basis, where they
must depend for success upon industry, econ
omy, and skilful and prudent management,
and not an ability, given by tax laws, to plum
der the people of the land.
That states the case exactly. The in
dustries of the country should stand upon
their own merits, and not depend upon the
government. The industry that cannot
sustain itself in open, fair competition is
not needed. Instead of a benefit it becomes
a burden
The advocates of Proteeti0a hayeno valid
constitutional ground to stand upos, They
claim the ngeneral welfare clause as their
constitutional authority, but it cannot be
claimed in reason that the taxing of the
many for the bene&tof the Rew contributes
TO the general welfare.
Justice Miller, in delivering an opinion
of the United States Supreme Court, said
the placing of one hand of the government
in the pockets of the people and with the
other bestowing their taxes on favored
few was 'None the less robbery because it
is done Ander the forms of law and is called
taxation
Judge Cooley, in Constitutional Limita-
tions, says:
''Constitutionally tax can have no other
basis than the raising of revenues for public
purposes. and whatever governmental exac-
tions has not this basis is tyrannical and un-
lawful. A tax on imports, therefore, the pur-
pose of which is not to raise revenue, but to
discourage and Indirectly prohibit some par
ticular import for the benefit of some home
manufacturer, may we'll be questioned as being
merely colorado, and therefore not warranted
by constitutional principles"
The Mckinley act was framed ''to dis
courage and indirectly prohibit" imports to
put money in the pockets of the already
.over-rich tariff lords. Under the former
tariff, with Democratic economy in the ad-
ministration of the government, huge sur
plus resulted. The Republicans made haste
to expend this, and increased taxation to
reduce the revenues. Under the Mckinley
act, the revenues of the government are
perhaps no more, and no surplus is accu-
mulating, but the people are paying more
for the necessities of life, which goes into
the pockets of protected manufacturers.
