THE PARTY OF CALHOUN.

The Democratic return to the doctrine
of Calhoun in its plank on the tariff has
naturally attracted much attention in this
campaign, but no more than it deserves
1t is a significant fact in characterizing
the economic vagaries of that party that
by an overwhelming majority it flew in
the face of all the statesmen who helped
to make the country great, and adopted
exclusively the doctrine of one man who
framed for the purpose of notification
and who sowed the seeds of the great at
tempt to disrupt the Union.
Against the Democratic assertion that
any purpose of protection in tariff act is
unconstitutional is to be set the ass ertions
of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and
Madison in the early history of the coun-
try, together with the specific declaration
of the first tariff bill ever passed that one
of its objects was the development of
bCme manufactures. Later comes the
authority Of such men as Web
ster and jackson, who opposed
and defeated the especial doctrine
of Calhoun. 1t is a striking and
significant fact that the Democratic Con-
vention of 1892 refused to make declara-
ton of conservatism and care for indus
trial interests in revising the tariff, re-
jected the teachings of Jefferson, Madi-
son, Webster and Jackson, and nailed the
flag of Calhounism to the mast as its
chosen banner in the fight of extermina-
ton against American industries.
1t is little to the purpose that the Dem
ocratic candidate has in the middle of the
campaign rejected his own platform. The
party which as party attempts to revive
the doctrines of Calhoun after the events
of the last half century is not to be
trusted with power in this country.

"The people of the country will never con-
sent to an increase of the national debt
solely for the purpose of making basis
for national banks" No one proposes an
increase of the national debt. The repre-
sentation of that as the alternative is fat
Misrepresentation. The national bank
system can be maintained by extending
the range of solid securities to be used as
a basis for circulation. Even the much
derided sub-treasury proposition would
furnish more reliable basis of value for
the currency than Democratic idea of
flooding the country with notes based en-
tirely on private credit.
The wildcat plank in the Democratic
platform is the most striking exposure of
Democratic unreliability on financial ques-
tions that has been made for generation.

THE WILDCAT PARTY.

The experience of the country in the
circulation of State bank notes is fortu-
nately preserved in official documents
The annual message of the Governor of
Indiana said in 1858:
The speculator comes to INDIANAPOLIS
with bun die of bank notes in one hand and
the stock in the other. In "a hours he is on
his way to some distant point of the Union
with what he denominates legal currency,
authorized by the Legislature of Indiana
He has nom1nally located his bank in some
remote part of the State, difficult of access
where he knows no banking facilities are re-
quired, and intends that his notes shall go
in the hands of persons who will have no
means of demanding their redemption.
In the same year Michigan's Gov vernor
said:
At present we are giving charters to the
issues of banks about which we actually
know nothing, in whose management we
have no participation, and are thus literally
paying a large tribute for what generally in
the end proves to be great curse.
The Governor of New Jersey SAID:
In many cases our banks, although osten-
sibly located in New Jersey, have their
whole business operation conducted by
brokers in other States. The facility with
which they may be organized and located,
without reference to the wants of the COM
munity or the business of the place. is de-
strucrive to all the legitimate ends OF bank
ing.
The state of affairs thus set forth in Off
cial language, in addition to the memory
Of every man over fifty years old, was
abolished by the 10 per cent tax on the
circulation of all banks save the national
system. This provision the Democratic
platform proposes to repeal Whether
this is merelya sop to the Southern hatred
of the national banks, or a concession to
the Democratic affection for worthless
money, is not important The vital fact
is that the Democratic policy as declared
in its platform simply opens the door to
the restoration of that chaotic condition
of the currency.
1t is amusing to observe the species of
logic by which Democratic organs try to
Justify this return to the wildcat money
of the era of Democratic supremacy. The
Philadelphia Record comes forward with
the assertion that when the State bank
system was wound up S164 ,0O0, 900 CT
notes were retired without loss to holders.
Marvellous! Now suppose the Record
should inform its readers how much of
the State bank circulation became worth
less in the hands of holders during the
twenty-sevep years before its retirements
and how much of the national bank cir
culation has turned out bad in the hold
ers' hands in the twenty,seven years since.
A comparison of those ratios would be
very interesting, if our cotemporary was
frank enough to make it,
The Record goes on to quote what it as
serts to be the real issue of the campaign
in the words of Russell, of Massachusetts.

UNCERTAINTIES are plentiful in this

all is as to the intentions of the Democratic
party. The great certainties before the peo-
pie are that Protection is q national benefit,
and that the utterances of the Chicago plat
form are menace to the country's pros
perity. Commerce cannot flourish under
the load of an unstable currency. and Amer
lean industry can only be fostered by the
exclusion of the products of foreign cheap
