Memorial Book.

The committee in charge of the inaugu-
raj ceremonies of Cleveland and Stevenson
have had their proceedings printed in book
form. and it makes valuable memorial of
the occasion that marked the return to
power in the executive and legislative
branch of the government of the Demo-
cratic party, after an absence of more than
thirty years. That party administered the
affairs of the country, with few short in
termissions, for sixty years, 1t saw the
rise and fall of u number of opposing or
CARNATIONS. and it will live to see the de-
struction of the Republican party, the
strongest of its rivals. 1t is the party Of
the constitution, founded upon it, and
must last as long as that instrument en-
dures. Dissolution has usually followed
defeat with its opponents. Defeat with
the Democracy has only served to strength
en- its resolve to win, conscious of the cor
rectness of its principles AS memento
of the return Of the party of the constitu-
ton to power, let us hope permanently, the
book of the committee is valuable. 1t
gives, among other matters, the names of
all those in charge of the ceremonies, the
chairman being Col. Jas. G. Berret of
Carroll, to whom the ADVOCATE returns
thanks for copy.

Looking to German.

The press of the country regard Senator
German rs the one man who holds the key
to the financial situation, and they look to
him 10 devise plan 10 restore confidence
and stable currency, He is chairman of
the Democratic Advisory Committee of
the Senate, and they believe that he is all
powerful in shaping financial Legislation.
Most of the leading daily Journals have
had editorials upon Mr.. German and his
position in the matter, and his power is
placed above that of any other statesman
above the Presidents and Mr. Carlisle's
All this is fattering TO Maryland's dis
tinguished Senator, but are not the press
and people expecting too much Of him :?
The battle on financial legislation is not II
parliamentary struggle 1t is on one Of
the most important functions of govern
ment, and upon which parties are not
united. Mr.. German is man of sound
Judgment, of great discretion and of large
ability. But upon the currency question
men have honest aud deep-seated convic-
: tions that they are not ready to yield.
Some of them have constituencies whose
convictions are just as deep-rooted, and 1t
is not to be expected Mr., German can lead
Senators in this matter as in ordinary affairs
of legislation.
His position is a very trying one under
the circumstances The question he has
TO deal with is one of the gravest that has
been before Congress for some time, and
If he succeeds in shaping Legislation salts
factory to the country be will indeed have
accomplished wonderful task.
The New York SIN believes Mr.. Cor
man is equal to the emergency. and looks
hopefully 10 him to lead his party success
fully in the contest and give the country a
stable currency.

The Boring Sea Decision.

\ decision by the Bering Sea Arbitra-
tors was made on Tuesday, and all the
main points were decided against the
United States, as was expected. When
Russia owned Alaska, in 1922, she set up
Just such claim to exclusive jurisdiction
in Bering sea as Mr.. Blaine and the Har
rison Administration did. The United
States at once protested, and her protest
was followed by one from Great Britain.
Russia finally receded from her claim in
treaties with both the United States and
Great Britain, and when the United States
purchased Alaska she bought only what
Russia had to sell-the territory and a
three-mile jurisdiction into the sea- MIR.
Blaine knew this. but the claims he made
allowed United States sealing company
more time to reap immense profits in catch
ing seals.
The decision of the tribunal seems TO be
All etliucutiy JuSb anu PioPSA ohSi iOi ~
provides that seals cannot be taken from
May to August, the time the females are
rearing their young, and it marks out a
sixty-mile limit off the Pribyloff Islands
within which seals cannot be taken for
commercial purposes. Itprovides, further,
that seals cannot be killed with firearms or
explosives, and the United States and
Great Britain will jointly enforce the reg
ulations laid down by the arbitrator.
The State Department is well satisfied
with the decision, and the people generally
will be, for they did not sanction the Claims
made by tie counsel of the United States
before the tribunal Mr., Blaine claimed
everything, as was his custom in politics,
and the counsel of the United States, fol
lowing his lead, made some astonishing
arguments before the arbitrator.

Proposed Gift to Capital.

Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, on Mon
day introduced bill in the United States
Senate, to allow banks 10 issue notes up to
the full amount of the bonds deposited to
secure their circulation. As the law now
stands banks are entitled to issue notes to
only ninety per cent. OF their bonds.
Should Mr.. Voorhees, bill pass, it would be
clear gift to the national banks Of $40,
900, 900 from the government. This in
crease in the 7olume of currency would be
beneficial to the country, but more so to
the banks The need of the hour is not
more iavors to capital, but more consider
alton for the people.
The government pays interest Of about
four per cent. on its bonds, and gives banks
ninety per cent of the money back to do
business on. This ninety per cent is
loaned out to the people at the rate of six
per cent, and the borrower in reality pays
about ten per cent. interest-six per cent.
to the bank and four per cent. on the bonds
tosecure circulation, for the interest the gov
eminent pays on its bonds is contributed
by the people in the way of taxation. And
it is the poorer and middle classes that pay
the bulk of taxes-the rich manage to es-
cape their share of the public burdens.
We nave no objection to allowing banks
10 issue notes to the. fqll amount of the
bonds deposited With the !. S. Treasury to
secure circulation, provided The bOuds
shall not bear interest while so de-
posted. The present banking system is
robbery of the people for the benefit of
capital, and unless Mr. Voorhees, bill is
amended to stop interest on bonds while
deposited To secure circulation Of bank
notes, the sooner the system is abolished
the better.
Every tax law, state and federal, favors
capital as against the people. They tend
to divide the population into millionaires
and paupers. The national banking sys-
TEN aids in that direction, and the finan-
cial legislation by Congress for the past
twenty years has been in the same direc-
ton.
The bill of Mr.. Voorhees, is astonishing,
coming from Democrat, and it is equally
astonishing that Mr. Carlisle, Democrat
and Secretary of the Treasury, should en-
dorse Mr.. Voorhees, bill
The bill should not pass unless amended
so as to stop interest on government bonds
while deposited to secure bank circulation.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1893-08-19

The Sherman bill is held responsible for
all our financial troubles. 1t may suit
capital to thus account for them in order
to brighten Congress into striking down
silver, bit the people know that the Sher-
man law had nothing TO do with the fail
ure Of the Australian banks, the 6papcial
tronbles in the Argentine Republic or with
the failure of the Barring Bros. These oc-
Cured three years ago, and this country
was yisibly affected, BY the 8ithdrawal of
English capital from the United States.
The Sherman law ought to be repealed,
because Il Is wrong in principle, but coupled
with it ought to be some provision fos tina
use of silver as money, IN order that the
volume Of currency may be expanded In
the ratio Of the increase of business and
popalstion.

Senate TO repeal the federal election laws.
1t is hoped he will press his bill until the
repeal is accomplished The machinery
now is in Democratic hands, and could be
