WHEN Isaac p. Gray goes down to
speak ut the Shelbyville barbecue, on
the 2Sth, perhaps he will tell the hungry
multitude what he thinks of the "cam-
paign of education being conducted by
leading Democrats who sell school sup
plies at enormously inflated prices. A
reference to this matter would vary the
.dreary monotony of any Democratic
speech that Isaac can get written for
him.

THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA.

1--WE denounce Republican protec-
ton as a fraud, taxing the labor of
the great majority of the people for
the benefit of the few. We declare it
to be a fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that the federal
government has no power to impose
and collect tariff duties except for the
purposes of revenue only, and we de-
mand that the collection of such
taxes shall be limited to the necessi-
ties of the government when honestly
and ecomically administerered."- Ma
tional Democratic Platform.
Just as soon as the Democrats get
the power they will wipe out the afro
cious Republican sugar bounty sys-
tenn and restore the sugar duties. In
stead of paying millions of bounty
out of the treasury to sugar planters,
we will re-establish the revenue tariff
on sugar.-Henry Watterson.
We mean to rip up, exterminate,
abolish, annihilate, and in the foulest
ignominy and disgrace, every vestige
of the fraud called protection, wher-
ever we can find it, and, as fast as
the needs of the government, in
creased tenfold by the Republican
party, will permit. Sect = Henry

Mr.. WALLACE BRUCE, United States
Consul at Edinburgh for the last three
years, is now in this country. In pub
lished interview he says the coming
election here will decide the fate of
many industries in England and Scot
land. The people there are waiting and
hoping that the free-trade party will
come into power and open up the mar
kets of the United States to them.
Many manufacturers are doing business
on no profit, or even on q losing bust
ness, hoping for change soon, but. if
the Republicans are successful in the
coming election, many of them will re.
move their plants to this country. Mr..
Bruce has made a close study of the
operation and effects of the Mckinley
law from commercial standpoint, and
is satisfied that it has been wonderfully
beneficial to American interests. He
confirms the general statement as to the
difference in the wages in Great Brit
ain and this country, and says it in
cludes all kinds of labor. The princi-
pal manufactures in the Edinburgh dis
trict are wooden goods, tweeds and knit
goods. 81 have talked with several
wooden manufacturers in my district"
says Mr.. Bruce, land they say that the
United States is now making in Boston
and elsewhere as good tweeds as are
manufactured in Scotland. Tin-plate is
not produced in my district. but have
talked with manufacturers and dealers
in tin, who say that the best workmen
are coming to the United States, and

three banks, only five of which were
able to redeem their notes at par. Re-
garding the fluctuations of bank money
during that period, Mr.. Camp said:


during that period. Mr.. Camp said:
The merchant in his store or tho peddler
on the prairies would rs soon think of doing
business without scales. measures or yard
stick as without ''Thompson's" some
other bank-n0to reporter OF recent date and
coin-chart of all the known coins in the
world. The successful dealings in various
kinds Of bank-n0te currency required great
experiences. for wrthou the requisite knowl-
edge the dealer was subject to the continual
tolling of his money in every subsequent
money by rates of discount however, was
small compared with the losses by counter
felt money OF constantly failing banks.
In the same line is the testimony of
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, in his book of rec
objections regarding the results of free
State banking from 1887, when the coll
lapse of wild speculation incident to free
banking came. lasting until 1S43, which
he states as follows:
The only general currency in use was tho
notes of suspended banks. Gold and silver
had disappeared from circulation. Credit
was unknown only by name The depres.
sion was widespread and all-pervading. It
affected all classes, but the greatest suffer
ers, next TO day laborers, wero the farmers.
This is the system which the Demo-
cratic national convention proposes to
give the country with free trade. 1t
will be done when the tax of 10 per cent.
per annum, which was wisely devised to
put an end to State bank issues, shall
be repealed by Congress. Then the
spectators and sharpers will not have
their speculations confined to such de-
vices as selling school supplies to weak
trustees for ten or twenty times their
value, but they can establish State
banks as part Of the political machin-
cry in States like Indiana, and issue
paper money. which they will have no
coin to redeem, but which wage earners
must accept at its face, while its pur-
chasing power will have fallen off, no
one knows how much. Do the people
of Indiana want such a changef

it has been upheld and defended by that
party. If it were not that the Demo-
cratic party in the South is strong
enough to do as it pleases, it would not
dare to enact measures so grossly de-
faint of intelligent public opinion as is
the convict labor law. 1t is to be OBJ
served also that wherever that party is
strong enough to do as it pleases it in
variably arrays itself against free labor.
