Cause and Effect.

"Our talented contemporary, the
Ohio Democrat, calmly dismisses
the question of the hard times with
the claim that they are the result
Of Republican legislation. Why,
my dear mistaken and indifferent
fellow sufferer, your party is in
power and has had control of the
machinery of the government for
nearly six months. Why in the
name of suffering humanity have
you not gotten your fellow destruc-
tionists together in Congress and
repeal Republican legislation? If
your theory is correct, why havn't
you given us relief?"-- Rep. Gazette.
1t is not much of a trick to re-
peal laws. If party has the nec-
essary power it can be done speed
lily, but to get rid of the effects of
bad legislation requires time and
energy. Like the man who has
habitually abused himself by the
undue use of the ardent, the. gov
ernment must be Keeleyed and
wait for the body polite to recu-
perate.'
The country was cursed by GRIM
inal Republican legislation of 1873,
which paralized business for years,
until partial relief was given by
the Bland-Allison law of 1878.
The good accomplished by that
law was dissipated by the Sher-
man law of 1890, which under the
construction given to it by the
Harrison administration became a
powerful engine for the destruc-
tion of'the currency.
Republican administration OF
republican legislation has worked
the almost total destruction OF
business and the confiscation OF
one third of the property of the
people.
| For twenty years the party OF
our cotemporary has labored to
complete the destruction without
a word of protest from its idiotic
chief. He don't like the sensation
produced by the foolish dissipa tior
and wants the Democrats to undo
in a few months what results from
twenty years of profligacy and
mal.adm:nistration.
It can't be done!

II "run" on any one Of the banks
to the damage Of them all gave
confidence to the depositors and
there was no disposition to draw
money except for actual needs.
Provision had been made for such
cases, but beyond that the rule of
time notices printed in the pass
books was rigidly enforced with.
out respect to persons. The fact
tnat but few notices were given
and that the number of persons
applying for money was not more
than customary was gratifying
evidence of the good sense of the
people and their confidence in the
soundness of the fnstitutions-a
condolences we'll placed.
The savings banks, being reliev-
ed from the necessity of providing
against u sudden and extensive
rush for money, are not compelled
to remove their funds from the
banks of deposit or withdraw them
from the channels of trade and in
dustry in which they have been
giving employment to the people
and earning dividends for the de-
positors. This has prevented an
increase of the strain now felt and,
it is hoped, will materially lessen
it. The feeling has been decidedly
better since the action was taken.
The banks of Cleveland, both saw
ings and general, are in thorough.
ly sound condition and only a sud-
den, senseless panic. could injure
them. Against that they are now
protected"
All over the country the well
managed savings banks are adopt.

EXTREMES MUST MEET.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Money is the life blood vi busi-
ness. Today the currents of busi-
ness are frozen because money is
withdrawn from its legitimate
channels. Meet the question
squarely, fairly and honestly and
you will say that the great need OF
today is money. Your 800 per
cent. of confidence" is fine theory
but in practice requires actual
money as basis. Give us the
money and we will very soon pro-
duce all the confidence you want,
Let us not deceive ourselves. What
we need and must have is more
money of final redemption.
How can we get it? Will il
come by destroying silver, which
should be one-half of the primary
money? Will it come by making
gold measure all values? You may
as we'll tell us that food will be
cheaper by burning up one hall
the -four in the country, or that a
man would be stronger by draw
Ing one-half the blood out Of his
veins.
Congress will meet soon, and
then the extreme gold men and
the extreme inflationists will pre-
sent their views on the money
