SPEAKING Of the remark made by
Joseph Manley, the Republican boss of
Maine, that the underlying cause of
the Republican victory was "the abso-
lutte incapacity of the Democratic party
to administer this government. The
Washington Post, an independent pa
per of strong Republican tendencies,
says:
"This is hardly a fair shake. When a
property falls into the hands of re-
ceiVer, 1t is not expected that he will be
able to stand 1t on its feet again in
minute. We do not mean to say that
the government was 80 badly bankrupt
ed as to demand a receivership, but 1t
was certainly in bad way before the
Democratic party came into power, and
no party, richly endowed with wisdom
as 1t might be, could have given 1t i'm
mediate relief. Conditions were such
and still are of character not only to
ADMIT of no miraculous cure by the
mere laying on of hands, but to puzzle
and perplex even our ablest financiers." i"

McKlNLEY's CAM PAlGN ESTIMATED.
From the St. Olairsville Gazette.

1t is a splendid personal triumph for
Governor Mckinley, but his campaign,
brilliant as 1t was and signal as is his
victory, can hardly add a feathers
weight to his reputation as a states.
man, nor advance him one step nearer
the Presidency. His appeal was to the
prejudices and most brutal instincts OF
mans nature. There was nothing
tending to elevate in morals or patriot.
sm. His pleas were those of dema-
gogue, and his practices those of an an.
archist. 1t was a studied effort
throughout to deceive and misrepre-
sent, to depress business and drive men
to the wall, and TO make less valuable
every product Of the country. The
great body of the Democratic party has
withstood the test put upon them, but
q portion were caught in the meshes
but he will hold them no longer thar
they have time to think.

A NEW BANKING SYSTEM


Besides the new tariff law, the inn
portant business of Congress will he q
new banking system, or the extention
of our present system to meet the
growing wants of a rapidly growing
country.
For the past two weeks Congressman
Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the
House committee on banking and cur
rency; Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana.
chairman of the Senate committee on
finance; Congressman De Witt Warner,
of New York, and Others who will be
prominent in any leg g'slation on this
subject this winter, hava been engaged
in frequent consultp ,ops with the
President, Secretary IT the Treasury,
and comptroller of ne currency, and
other financial officers of the admins
tration, with the v,5w of proposing leg
islation which w 4 meet the necessities
| of the government.
In an interview, Congressman Spring
| er, chairman Of the House Committee
l on Banking and Currency, says:
ave have been engaged for several
months in the preparation of meas
ure, which at the proper time will in
| troduce in the House, and have refer
red to the committee on banking and
| currency, of which l am chairman. Our
| object is to respond, as far as possible,
| to the reasonable demands of the coun
| try, for better system of currency, and
to provide some plan by which our cur
rency may be placed upon a better
basis. Any effort, in my judgment, to
return TO the system of state banks
which prevailed before the war, would
be futile"
Mr.. Springer does not outline his
plan; but he expresses the opinion that
| the present National banking system
does not supply an adequate currency.
| Here is an extract from Mr.. Springer's
views, as given by the Associated Press
"What is required and demanded by
| the country Is national currency
| which shall at all times be convertible
| into coin on demand, which shall be
| elastic In character, sufficientin volume
and so distributed throughout the coun-
| try as to respond to the wants of trade,
and prevent congestion In the great
money centers. l don't think the
present national banking system has
| proved itself adequate to the demands
of the country. There are less than
two hundred millions of dollars of
national bank notes now in circulation
and there Is no prospect of an increased
circulation unless more favorable legis.
lation to the banks is secured"
Congressman Harter has system to
propose, which is the result of careful
study of many years, which Is likely
to attract the attention of the country
before the session is far advanced
This provides for the issue of currency
on State and guaranteed bonds OF
approved corporations and municipal
tiles, said bonds to be guaranteed by
the respective States In which the banks
are located. The coming debate on the
currency question will doubtless de-
velop widely divergent views, and the
solution of the problem of the money
of the future is likely to prove mort
difficult than the tariff question.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The announcement has already been
made that the new tariff bill will be
ready to submit to the country about
November 25th.
The debate now in the Ways and
Means Committee is over tbe enlarge
ment Of the free list, 30 as TO include
iron ore, coal and salt; and the pro-
posed income tax.
1t seems to be very generally under
stood In Washington That the bill to be
submitted to the country will have the
approval of the President and the Sec
retary Of the Treasury, before publica-
tion.
1t does not follow, however, that the
bill submitted is likely to become a law
without thorough debate in both
houses Of Congress, with probable mod
ifications.
The bill to be submitted by the COM
mittee is said to be conservative
measure, and one that will meet ap'
proval with all manufacturing indus
tries, not tied up In trusts. 1t is also
understood that the bill, as submitted
will be In accord with the recommen-
dations Of the President, in his coming
| message to Congress-.

THE organs of the z. o. p. are all at
sea again on the Honolulu business.
They find Queen Lii has not been re-
stored to her little island throne, and
that the u. s. Minister presented his
credentials to the Provisional Govern
ment, Just as If this government was as
permanent q fixture as the German EN-.
pire. When the Australia sailed from
Honolulu, our Minister Willis had been
there ten days, and he had never called
on Queen LII, or sent her bouquet.
This condition of affairs has 30 exasper-
ated the &. o. p. organs, that have been
claiming the administration was com.
mitted to Queen Lils cause, that they
are now claiming that the President
has backed down, and that the Queen
could only be maintained on her throne
by the military power of
the United States. What
the Presidents policy is, touching
these far away islands, Is not known
in Washington, and Was not known in
Honolulu, when the Australian sailed,
seven days ago. We may not know
until the President sends his regular
message to Congress, on the 4th of
December next. The U. s. constitu-
tion lodges the treaty making power
with the Senate, as provided in
Art. III, Sec. I'd. The President shall
have power, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, to make treaties,
provided two-thirds of the Eenators
present concur.

THE A. P. A. AND G. o. P.

1t Is claimed the A. p. A. have abso-
lutte control of the Republican party In
many Of our large cities, and in Toledo
and Columbus 1t is powerful enough to
control all elections, municipal and
county. In discussing the connection
and cooperation Of the A. p. A, with
the g. o. p. the Catholic Telegraph
says:
"When the Known Nothing movement
swept over this country about forty
years ago, foreign-born citizens were
driven by 1t out Of the Whig party that
favored 1t, more or less, into the Dem
ocratic party, that opposed 1t. When
the tide turned, the Wing party went
to smash persecution can not ever
lastingly triumph in free America
Aided by its secret allies-the Asso-
ciated Political Assassins--the Repub
lican party may have temporary and
local successes before the new and par,
amount issue of religious persecution
is clearly defined; but when the final
test comes, IL will as surely follow the
fate of the Wing party, as night sue
ceeds the day."

REPUBLICAN RULE.
A Quarter of a Century of Plutocraoy.


From the Toledo News, Independent.
We live in commercial age-not in
a military age; and the shadow that is
stealing over the American landscape
partakes of a commercial character. In
short, the shadow is of an unbridled
plutocracy, caused, created and cement.
ed In no slight degree by legislative,
aldermanic and congressional action; a
plutocracy that is far more wealthy
than any aristocracY that has ever
crossed the horizon of the worlds his
tory, and one that has been produced
In shorter consecutive period; the
names of whose members are emblaZ u.
ed, not on the pages of their natio =
glory, but of its populations; who ri
resent no struggle for their country's
liberties. but for its Doodle, no contests
for Magma Charta, but railroad charte q;
and whose octopus-like grip is extenu-
ing over every branch of industry; a
plutocracy which controls the price of
the bread that we eat, the price of the
sugar that sweetens our cup, the price
of the oil that lights US on our way, the
price of the very cofling In which we are
finally buried; a plutocfacy which en-
courages no kindly relations between
landlord and tenant, which has so little
sense of its political duties as even to
abstain from voting, and which, in
short, by its effontery Is already causing
the unthinking masses to seek relief in
all sorts of isms, many of which would
infallibly make their second state worse
than the first.

ipulation OF the Money Panio-A sensa-

Correspondence Toledo News.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. Is The cam
paign just closed was an example Of
the most skillful political engineering
ever seen In Ohio or any other state for
that matter. When Mckinley was
first nominated he stood no more show
of election than the man in the moon.
The party was distracted with in
ternecine strife. Ex-Governor For
aker's friends were determined to even
up old scores for it is matter of his
tory that John Sherman and Mckinley
and Foster used their raZors on Foraker
fou years ago.
Q situation was critical. John
Sb' man felt that nothing short Of the
el . Ion of Mckinley would vlndicate
u election of himself to the u. s.
Senate by legislature pledged to ex-
Gov. Foraker. He foresaw that a
monetary panic would aid McKinley's
election, He planned the panic and
more than any other single man to
bring it about. Yet that ofitself would
not elect Nc Kinley with the Republican
forces disunited. Something more
than the panic was necessary.
In this emergency political deal
was entered into and dconsummated that
rivals legerdemain. The deal was
made about the middle of October.
Mutual friends of Foraker and Nc
Kinley came together and an agree
ment was entered into that the For
aker forces should work for McKin-
ley's election and Foraker should be
elected 10 succeed Cal Brice in the
United States senate in 1896. Sherman
was not consulted or even informed of
the capitulation. Indeed, IL was care
fully guarded from him as it was we'll
known that Sherman favored Brice as
his own successor. Sherman's plan was
for the Republicans to carry Ohio in
this election as vindication of HIM
| self, and let the Democrats carry In '95
and give Brice second term. Brice
was In this secret arrangement with
Sherman when he pulled his friend
Richie off the perch at Lima.
Sherman's influence and ability to
carry out his schemes was not dis
counted either. But the Mckinley
Foraker combine figured that by 1895
Cleveland would have all the Sherman
| federal oAceholdeTs shelved. This
would shear Sherman of his power
Ambitious politicians would be quick
| to recognize Mckinley as the coming
man, while they could see in Sherman
nothing but an old fossil. Foraker
would be the man to look for political
loves and fishes. These events and
contingencies were all discussed pre-
and con and weighed. As i. a result
there was united Republican party in
Ohio and the magnificent victory OF
November 7th followed.
