MISUNDERSTANDING TIE ISSUE.

The Philadelphia Record is the last
paper to represent the Democratic propo-
sition for the repeal of the tax on State
bank notes as something radically different
from what it really is The persistence
with which this is done argues the straits
in which the Democratic platform has
placed the organs which were formerly
outspoken in their defense of sound cur
Iency.
The Record first improves on familiar
phrase by speaking of the gradual and
inevitable extinction of national banks
owing to the high price of United States
bonds" Our cotemporary should know
that there is no extinction of national
banks, either gradual or inevitable. On
the contrary, the amount of capital, the
deposits and gross assets of the national
banks are as large now as ever. There has
been shrinkage of bank circulation for
the reason named; but it requires little in
telligence to see that the cure for that is
to add to the classes of securities available
rs deposits for circulation, instead of trust
ing the soundnesS of our currency to the
vagaries of legislation by A different legis-
latureS.
Next we are told that there is danger in
silver certificates and 65-cent dollars and
in the issue of United States legal tender
notes. Inasmuch as the issues of State
banks would be redeemed in these forms
of currency, the danger of them-proven
as they are by the experience of a genera
ton to be reliable, except as they are af-
fected by the fluctuation of the precious
metals-is entirely imaginary. To present
them as currency whose value in one
State cannot be told by man in another
is little short of effrontery.
Finally the Record comes to the stereo-
typed Democratic conclusion that the rem
edy is 'the repeal of the ten per cent tax
with proper provision for the redemption
of the banking currency authorized by the
State laws" Two criticisms are pertinent

TWELVE PAGES
PECK's SECOND EDITION.

Labor Commissioner Peck is evidently
more easily goaded into new activity than
terrorized into innocuous desuetude. And
it Is well for those who believe in circu-
lating the truth that he should be man
of such stubbornness His new sta
tistics are valuable supplement
to those already published. They demon
strate that New York workmen have
distinctly and directly benefited BY Pro-
lection in the reduction of hours and the
increase of wages. Out of 177,701 men
working in constructive trades, the con-
ditions of whose labor were ascertainable,
III, ,634 had their lot improved during the
twelve months from 1890 to 1891, while II
were less prosperous OF the laborers re-
ported, 6,342 had wages increased and II
received lower pay. Of the 112, ,342 work
ing people heard from, every one had the
hours of labor reduced. The statistics
were gathered from employers of both
parties and from the accredited repre-
sentatives of labor organizations in New
York.
All these details are valuable as bearing
out and emphasizing the advantages of
Protection in fostering American interests,
promoting industrial independence and
enlarging the home market. These things
to say nothing of the obvious necessity
for the maintenance of high wages by ex-
Guiding European competition-arep potent
to all thoughtful observers, but they can
not be set forth too clearly or too often at
this time.

CHICAGoANs ought to be shrewd enough
to realize that there is a limit to the endur-
ance of the public, and that a universal and
extortionate rise in the prices of everything
that visitor needs will be bound to lessen
the number of visitors. Small profits ana
quick returns is the maxim which will pay
best to follow during the attractions of the

The New York San says 'There is no
nonsense about the Southern Democrats.
The South is solid" The South certainly
does appear to retain its solidity. But that
is only an indication that the thick-headed
stolidity which pre- fers prejudice to reason
is nearly as predominant as ever, and non.
sense is a good description for such a mental
condition.

IT is good thing for the whole country

WoRKMEN have tested and strongly dis
approved of the system Of payment for their
labors in store tickets receivable at certain
establishments only. They would find the
use of a currency destitute of national In
dorsement, and of u f1uctuating value
always below par, a far more serious evil.
Yet the Democratic platform asks them to
vote for a measure that would re-establish
wildcat banking.

A LIBERAL MEXICAN FREE LIST
Corn Can Be Sent to the Big Southern Re-
public Until December.


public Until December.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-Secretary Rusk has
received through the Department of State
advices from the United States Consul Geu-
eral at Neuvo Laredo, Mexico, not only con-
firmng the dispatch recently made public
announcing the time for free importation of
corn into Mexico to have been extended to
November 80, but stating further that in adj
dition he is in formed that between Decem-
Der and January 81 next only one fourth of
the regular duty, which is cent per kilo
gross weight, will be collected on imports.
He adds:
"This free importation until the end OF
November and reduced import duties until
January 81 has caused q greatly increased
demand for our American corn, particularly
in all the region west OF the Mississippi.
The extension OF the time for Tree or re-
duced import duties will continue this de-
mand and probably double the amount OF
the imports. At present from 90 to 10 car
loads of corn are sent through this port
daily to points well into the interior. The
local demand in Northern Mexico is nearly
supplied"

1T is striking example of the disorder
prevalent under his vacillating administra-

should find it necessary to his safety to have

The combined demands of the Mayor,
Chief Brown, the Central Board of Edu-
cation, adjacent property holders and
some labor organizations which have been
talking up the subject, that the Fifth ave-
nue. market house now and for years lying
unsightly and unused should be employed
for high school in place Of armory pur-
poses, will likely be successful if persisted
in. Chief Bigelow, it is true, says the
property has been promised" for an
armory, and the Finance Committee may
be bit slow about changing the pro-
gramme, but the position of those who
want the property for school purposes is,
ali things considered, the more reasonable
and should be favorably considered.
Ii is not merely the sentimental plea
that books should take precedence of guns
and that when the people are well
taught there will be the less need for
shooting-which supports the position of
the Mayor, Chief Brown and the Central
Board That argument is good and peril
nent; but there is also the plain business
one that 1t is the duty of the State, not the
city, to provide armories for the troops.
In expressing this idea there is no inten-
ton to detract from the credit which is
due to our various military organizations
and to the public and patriotic spirit of
the men who compose them. The i'm
mense value of State troops and the nee
esSity for them at times in preserving
peace and order have been too forcibly
demonstrated near home to be forgotten
or disputed. But that does not alter the
fact that the provisions for the proper
maintenance of the National Guard
should be made by the State, which levles
taxes for the purpose. The State should
provide armories, and it should not be
parsimonious in doing that duty, either.
But in case a different view is taken and
it is esteemed needful that the city should
provide an armory site, there need still be
no need for insistence in competition with
the educational interests. Other and much
less costly yet equally as suitable sites
as the old market house could be had for
the armOrieS.

VISIONARY Democrats who are depend

make serious changes in the result OF the
election in this State this year may temper
their excitement when reminded of the case
of Ohio. In the election for Governor of

Foraker in 1889 received outside of counties
containing the cities of Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Columbus and Dayton, 29O,681 votes.

Republican vote In the farming and manu-
featuring districts, Mckinley received s99,-
