MR. sPRINGER'S FEAT.

Congressman William Springer has dis
tanced both ex-President Cleveland and
Senator Hill in the race for getting away
from the Democratic platform. The
branch of the platform with regard to
which Springer deserted the authoritative
declaration of his party in his speech at
Alton, ILL.,, yesterday, was the State bank
plank. Springer's argument on this point
is so unique as to entitle that gentleman
to medal for campaign inventiveness.
In the first place, Mr.. Springer falls back
on the stock Democratic assertion that the
10 per cent tax on the State bank circula-
ton is unconstitutional 1t is a promi-
nent tenet of Democracy that everything
the party does not like, from protective
tariff down, is unconstitutional That be-
ing the case Springer wants the tax, which
has stood the test of thirty years, re-
pealed.
But having got rid of the unconstitu-
tional tax, Springer does not want any
State bank notes issued. No, indeedl He
abjures the entire idea. Such notes, he
says, would "lack universally" and, the
Democratic orator well says, were only
tolerated in the past because the people
were not acquainted with the better class
of notes since issued by the Government
This is Springer's dismissal of the topic:
The people will prefer the greenback or
national bank currency to any such issues.
The National Treasury no tes will always be
preferred. and Congress should give us
enough of such notes, to be issued from
time to time to meet the demands of trade
There is no possible danger of State bank
notes ever taking their place in this coun-
try. State banks are not an issue before the
country at this time.
In other words, the Democratic platform
does not mean anything, and there will
not be any State bank circulation. 1t is
kind Of Mr.. Springer to give the nation
this assurance. At the same time his the
ory Is rough on the Democratic organs
which have devoted painstaking columns
to show that the State bank notes will be
just the thing.

A RADICAL PLATFORM.

The platform of the Pennsylvania Farm
ers' Alliance promulgated from Johns
town on Thursday is principally charac-
terized by its sweeping opposition to the
tariff 1t would be a very strong indorse-
ment of Democratic ideas if it were not
for the fact that the Chicago platform
does not 60 far enough. In condemns all
protective tariffs. but it is not content to
stop there. 1t proposes to wipe out all
revenue tariffs also, because they are un-
equal in operation. 1t is single-tax doc
ument, but by no means the Henry George
single-tax. The single-tax it proposes is
that on incomes, by which all the national
revenues should be raised.
This would be very interesting pro-
gramme for Pennsylvania. The manu-
featuring establishments fostered by pro-
lection afford constant market for the
products Of the farmer. The Farmers
Alliance proposition is to destroy this
market and reduce the Pennsylvania

PITTsBURG. SATURDAY. OCT. IS. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC TREASON.

Another supporter of Democracy in
general has committed treason to the
calamity cry of the present. The New
York San, of very recent issue, knocks
the solefui Democratic idea into several
small fragments by the following very en-
phatic Endorsement of the prosperity of
the nation:
To-day the United States Of all the
countries of the world is the most prosper
Gus. In Europe-in England more especially
doubt and anxious forebodings as to the
business and industrial future prevail. Here
we see only buoyancy and hopefulness. At
no time past was labor SO generally en-
ployed and SO well paid. In all directions
manufacturing industries are active, and
the prosperity of the people is manifested in
the volume of trade. the increase of savings
bank deposits, the paying of of farm mort
cages and the steady progress of improve
ments
We might expect to see our shining CO.
temporary brought to the bar of party dis
cipline for this reasonable utterance,
were it not that experience has taught
Democracy that the San is an exceedingly
tough subject to discipline. That journal
has established a reputation for saying
what it chooses on political topics, and it
is not deluded into swallowing the party
cry that the country is going TO the dogs.
There is mixture of humor and sardonic
effrontery in its persistent declaration that
an alleged "Force Bill'' is the only issue
of the campaign; but it is far too clear
sighted to lend itself to the political de-
structien of commercial and industrial
prosperity.
The party which can only see its way to
success through creating the general be-
lief in business depression, and thereby
creating the depression itself, has justly a
very hard time of it, even among its own
supporters

The presence in the city of that notable
man, Francis Murphy, and the announce
ment that he is to meet the public again
tomorrow night on the scene of his first
great success fourteen years ago calls re-
newed attention to two differing plans of
philanthropic work. Francis Murphy's
effort with those who abuse intoxicating
liquors to their ruin is to get them to
understand their drift, and to inspire them
to use their own will power for their bet
terment There is hardly city in the
land where there are not scores and
hundreds of living witnesses to testify of
the beneficial change in their lives
which the intelligent sympathy and
strong magnetic influence Of Murphy
had much to do in starting. 1t is we'll
known feature Of his conversions to the
wiser and better ways of sobriety that the
subjects with whom he has succeeded
have not been content merely with saving
themselves. Greatly to their credit they
have, in their turn, shown an eager and
worthy desire to spread the work by help
ing others by their speech and example.
This is one method of philanthropic
the principle that the best and most last
ing benefits come when the minds of men
are thoroughly enlightened and the hearts
o f men are changed. 1t is practical ap-
plication of the spirit of Christianity;
and while the gospel that Mr.. Murphy
spreads conflicts with no sectarian doc
trine, and is told in the most matter of
fact, everyday sort of way, there is
abundant evidence that it bears extraordi-
nary good fruit
The other method of dealing with in
temperance is the Prohibitionist idea of
stopping it by law. There is no doubt
that the Prohibitionists are as earnest and
as honest as Francis Murphy in their views;
but, looking at the relative results, it is
probable that this single apostle of moral
suasion has aroused an immensely wider
and more sympathetic sense among the
public of the folly and ruin of intemper-
ance than have the Prohibitionists even by
their organized and incessant political
effort. Where the motive is i'm both cases
good one, and where it is question of
method solely, there should be no hostility
between workers for the same end. 1t is
well for each to consider the work of the
other without prejudice and with an eye
simply to what is accomplished.
Pittsburg will doubtless give an old-time
welcome to Francis Murphy. The good
purpose, good nature and indomitable
earnestness of the man are qualities as
noticeable, as healthy and as general as
the light and air. His words and his pres
ence are splendidly inyigorating to the
weak and fallen. The world will have
become very cold indeed when such man
ceases to have great influence for good
