In speaking OF the final settling uI
of the claims of the State National
bank of this city, the Monitor takes
occasion to praise the national bank.

iStence." The hOwlerS have not OBJ.
jected to the national banks on ac-
count of their safeneSS; they do not
object to them on the ground that
private banks are better. The Objec-
tiOnS are directed against the rela.
tiOnS of the government with these
institutions. The fact that the gov
eminent is behind them is what
makes them safe as repositories.
That is what secures depositorS
against loss. What the refOrmers OBJ

this business out to individuals in
such manner that the general gov
eminent is not benefited, while the
bankers are in a position to extOrt I'M
just and uSuriOuS interest from the
people who are the backing-the
SuretieS of the banks. The people
are the gOvernment-the government
the security Of the banks. Why fur
niSh these institutions with a safe
circulating medium without interest
and allow them to extOrt a heavy tax
from those so unfortunate as to be
compelled to patrOniZe money lOaners?
That is the ground on which these
objections are based. Why not let
the government establish these insti-
buttons with the same safe backing
and loan the money direct to the peo-
pie at a low rate Of interest? Surely
II the government can loan these in
stitutiOnS money without any inter.
est, it might derive a handsome reve-
nue. by supplying the people with
temporary loans at a very low rate of
interest. Why set up a man or set Of
men between the government and the
people? If the profits of the business
went into the government treasury
there would be little objection by the
people, knowing that indirectly il
would return to them, but when the

The PopuliStS insist that the national
banking law is class legislation, and
that there is no reason or Justice in
fayOring one class of subjects above
another. tits true, anyone financially
able may become a national banker
but that is no reason why the people
should be taxed to enrich him. Elm

True to its lying instincts the Mon
itOr Of last week had misleading ar
ticle in regard to the FOrney case.
The court Over-ruled a motion to dis
miss the case on account of an error
in certifying the appeal papers, Judge
Herrick having certified to them af-
ter his term of Office had expired.
The case has not been decided on its
merits as the Monitor would have the
voters believe. Even if it had. or
does hereafter, it does not settle the
question of just and equitable rail-
road legislation. That is the subject
the voters are interested in now.
The Monitor and its gOldbug hackers
are interested in defeating Mr. For
ney because they know he will work
and vote for a just revision of rail
road tariffs and a United State Sena-
tor. Let no farmer or labOrihg man
be deceived by these attempts to d.
vert their attention from the main
issue. Stand by your ticket and pay
no attention to the false and mis-
leading charges of the opposition.
