PRESIDENT LIVINGSTONE, of the Farm
ers' Alliance, has issued a circular letter
to the w%orkingmen of the country in
which he takes strong ground against
the Democratic idea of returning to old
State bank note currency. After refer
ring to his own experience with that
kind of currency. he says:
The farmers and planters products, good
as gold. should at ell times be paid for with
an honest dollar worth n hundred cents.
No more direful calamity could befall them
than q return to State bank issues-a retro
grade movement of dangerous character.
Such a currency, good one day and good for
nothing the mex, is not wanted by the
farmer, whose wheat. and corn. and cotton
are always worth gold or its equivalent at
the hundred cents. But to carry
out the eighth plank of the Democratic
platform would be o vicious and destruct-
i've act, involving the country In confusion
and discredit- would tend to disesta blish
the best system the country ever lad and
return to the financial distractions of thir.
ty-ive years ago-a long step back ward. re-
sulting disastrousiy to capital and labor.
The Farmers Alliance platform itself
is unsound on the currency question, but
it is gratifying to find the president Of
the order thus ~condemning the Demo-
cratic State bank plan. There is not
much room for choice between the two.

Az IMPUDBET ADDRESS.

Chairman Taggart, of the Democratic

address Ito the Democrats of Indiana"
i'm which he informs them that the party
in this State is united and harmonious,
and that everything points to Demo-
cratic victory next November. The ad-
dress continues:
From the reports submitted it is safe to
say that if the present plan of organiZa-
tiOn Is carried out, not only will the State
and national tickets have "A su bstantial mas
jority, but the Democrats will carry eleven
of the thirteen congressional districts, and
the Legislature which will choose a success
sor to Senator Turpie.
This is a practical admission of the in
fanny of the congressional gerrymander.
In 1883, the Republicans of this State
cast 40. Oc per cent. of the total vote,
and in 1890. they cast 45.45 per cent. of
the total vote. They have never, since
the party was organized. cast O smaller
proportion of the total vote than they
did in 1890. In 1886, they cast 1850 per
cent. of the total vote; in 1884. they
cast 4S.17 per cent; in 1882, they
cast 47.28 per cent; in 1880.

of the furnaces that had been built by
the tariff of 1912" and then goes on at
some length to deny the correctness of
Mr.. McKinley's statement. Perhaps
Governor Mckinley got his information
about the effect of the repeal of the
protective tariff from Professor Perry's
Elements of Political Economy Prof.
Perry is known all over the country asa
very pronounced free-trader. If there
Is anything he believes in to the bottom
OF his soul it is free trade, yet he will
not misrepresent facts. In that part of
his work which treats of the various
American tariffs (page Aga he says: 1.-THE
Wing party. coming into power, passed
what | shall call the Wing tariff of 1912.
1t was n high protective tariff. Under
1T millions of capital were seduced into
manufactures. particularly of iron. and
when the high duties were abolished, as
they were a few years later (by the tariff
Of 1846), hundreds and thousands of
persons were pecuniarily ruined" Of
course, free-traders would say, as Prof.
Perry distinctly implied, that the capt.
tai which was ''seduced" into manufact-
uring enterprises was engaged in an
illegitimate business, but his admission
that hundreds and thousands of per-
soDs were pecuniarily ruined" by the
repeal of the protective tariff of 1912
fully 'sustains the assertion of Governor
Mckinley. Surely he ought not to be
censured for repeating in substance
what one of the most distinguished free
traders has written in a textbook de-
signed for use in our colleges.
