FINANCIAL VAGARIES.

The Indiana Assembly of the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association, which met
in this city on Tuesday. adopted
platform which contained some curl
Gus statements. In the resolution
concerning money it is declared that
ey, and this power should be exercised
for the whole people, and not given over to
corporations to fatten upon by specializing
upon the necessities of the people" The
government does not create money; it
coins 1t, and the only kind of money it is
authorized TO coin is gold and silver. It's
paper notes are not money, though they
represent money, being redeemable in coin.
The government does not say on q ten
dollar greenback, ''This is ten dollars" 1t
says 1.-The United States will pay the bear
err ten dollars" This is not money; it is
promissory note, or, to use the constitu-
tionsl phrase, "a bill of credit" No more
dangerous doctrine could be advanced than
that Congress has the right to issue an I'M
limited amount of such bills. 1t would be
far better If those now outstanding were
retired and if Congress would never issue
another. The last place in the world in
which to lodge the power of issuing paper
money is in legislative body.
The resolution declares further chat the
present panic is the result of a money fam
inc rather than a lack of confidence" 1t
would be as near the truth to say that the
country is suffering from a wheat famine
October 1893, the people had in their pos
session slO6,OOO.00O more money than they
had year ago. The present circulation is
the largest per capita the country has ever
had
Another resolution demands that "the
circulating medium Of the country shall be
issued by the government direct to the peo-
pie. without the intervention of banks In
sufficient volume to transact the business
Of the country on cash basis This Is
preposterous. 1t would be impossible to do
away with the use of credits In business.
The business Of the country could no more
be conducted on a cash basis than Western
crops could be moved to New York by OK
teams. Ninety per cent. of the sbusiness of
the country is done by credits. If the pres
ent volume of paper money were multi
piled by ten the same percentage of bus
| mess would still be transacted by credits.
| The wild statements and demands OF these
! resolutions are an outgrowth of the clamor
| for more and cheaper money, and Illus
| trate one of the most vicious tendencies OF
| the times.

NOT SYMPATHETIC, BUT RELIABLE.

In talking of the Republican party re-
Gently a man who has acquired something
OF national reputation in it's ranks said that
it had never sought the affections OF the
masses. What he meant to say was that
the Republican party has never posed as
the champion of the masses in platforms
and addresses. This is doubtless true. Its
leadership and its movements have been
dignificd. 1t has never played the dema-
gogue or pandered to ignorance by extoll-

1t has had so much faith in the intelligence
Of the American people that it has believed
that the majority could not fail to see that
it's policy, year after year, was better for
the whole country than that of its oppo-

from the Republican party turning against
him and even voting against him when he
ran second time because he had not
given them appointments.
1t looks as IL Mayor Denny were des-
ence. OF course. his official patronage is
smaller, compared with that of the Presi-
dent, but his Jurisdiction also is smaller.
He does not have nearly as many Offices
tc fill, but from all accounts the pressure
Oh him for those he has is nearly as great
IS that on the President, and his expert
scale. He is experiencing the same diff
ficulty in pleasing everybody; for every
man he appoints he disappoints score.
The sidewalks and street corners are black
with men criticising or denouncing this,
that or the other appointment. Every
body who knows Mayor Denny knows he
thinks he is doing the best thing possible
for the city and the Republican party,
yet there Is an army or kfckers waiting
and watching for an opportunity to knife
him. 1t was the same way with General
Harrison during the first year or two
after his election as President. Nobody
who knew him doubted that in his ap-
pointments he tried to do the best thing
possible for the country and the Republic
an party. yet there were those who. be-
cause they or their friends did not get
what they wanted, abused him on the
street corners, had 1t ''in for him" on all
occasions, and got even at last by voting
against him in 1892. Mayor Denny is not
pleasing everybody any more than General
Harrison did. In proportion to the num-
Der of offices he has to fill the Mayor has
made as many enemies as the President
did. They are the same kind Of enemies

This is a degrading feature OF human
nature There ought not to be any kicking

sulking. There ought not to be any censur-
ing or finding fault with President or
Mayor who has offices to fill because he
does not appoint our man. An applicant
for office ought to reflect that every other
man has as much right to apply as be has,
and as there is only one Office to about
every forty applicants, there must be
thirty-nine disappointed ones for every
one appointed. Those who engage in poll

sophical disposition, and not kick and sulk

TWO OF MANY MISTAKES.

1t is not intended to devote space to Mr..
Cheadle's last article but it seems neces-
sary to correct one statement in regard to
what he says that the Journal said, as fol-
lows:
You say 1 emphasize the assertion that
the Republican party Is pledged TO bimet-
allism. Why should / not emphasize that
fact?
We beg Mr.. Cheadle's pardon, but the
Journal said no such thing in the sense
that he implies. The Journal did say:
Mr. Cheadle emphasizes the assertion that
the Republican party is pledged TO bimetal-
lism and that the repeal of the Sherman
act is violation OF the party platform OF
1892. Nothing can be more erroneous. Gen.
Harrison, Senator's Sherman, Allison and
Representatives Reed and Walker assert
that the Sherman law was only tempo
rary expediert or experiment, at best,
while Mr.. Cheadle worships IL as a fetch.
There is no reference 70 the Sherman act
in the platform OF 1892
The foregoing is very different state
ment from that which Mr.. Cheadle makes.
