FROM January l to September, $50
State and private banks failed. OF these
~ have resumed business. In the same
length of time 155 National banks sus-
pended, and of these 20 have resumed.
1t is thus seen that not only did the
National banks stand the panic better,
but by far greater proportion resumed.
Then no National bank note holder will
lose a penny by the failure of any of
these National banks. But suppose
these State banks had been banks of
issue, as our Democratic friends would
have them, how many millions of dollars
of State bank notes would have become
worthless or at best non-current in the
hands Of the holders? Certainly the
people of this nation are not such fools
as to ever indulge in State bank money
again.

THE TWO OHIO PLATFORMS.
The One Endorses Hoke Smith, the 9th
er Deuounces Him.

THE Ohio Soldier, Chillicothe
The interests of every true soldier and
pensioner demand that the pension roll
should be made and preserved as a roll of
honor We believe in just and liberal
recognition of the claims OF the veterans,
and favor granting them all that patriot
ism could ask, all that National gratitude
would demand But the granting of pen
sions on fraudulent claims for partisan
purposes, or on Department decisions in
contravention of law, as practiced under
the last Administration, needs to be inves-
tigated and corrected so that the unselfish
valor of the American soldier may remain
untarnished. The Democratic party pledges
itself that the rightful claim of no Union
soldier to pension shall be denied, and the
allowance of any worthy pension shall not
be disturbed.
The above is the soldier plank in the Ohio
Democratic platform adopted at Cincin-
matt, on which Mr.. Neal is now a candidate
for Governor. We hope no comrade will be
deceived by the plethora of fine words and
professed virtue, but will go down to the
meat of the matter and see exactly what it
says 1t is plain and emphatic approval
of Hoke Smiths onslaught on the pension
ers. 1t is an approval of his autocratic and
unlawful suspension of pensioners without
investigation and without one word of evil
dence; it Is an approval of the 72-inch
yard stick which the Pension Department
has adopted with which to measure sol
diers' disabilities; it is an insult to every
pensioner whose pension has been sus-
pended, for it pledges the party that mo
worthy pensioner shall be disturbed" If
Hoke Smith has disturbed your allowance,
the Democratic party in Ohio, in conven-
ton assembled, has pronounced you un-
worthy. The stuff about making the pen
sion roll roll of honor, is just what Hoke
Smith says he Is engaged in when he cuts
off pensioner and says his claim is fraud
ulent.
Now let us see what the Republican plat
form says:
We adhere to the Republican policy of
granting pensions to the wounded and dis
abled Union soldiers and sailors of the late
war, and the widows and orphans Of such
as are deceased, and we condemn the un-
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the present Democratic Ad-
ministration.
There it is. 1t is not our platform. We
are in favor of service pension But we
are not, thereforefore, opposed to pension
for disability, and as that is now the law,
we want to see it fairly and literally ad
ministered, and we join the Republican
platform in its denunciation of the un-
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the Democratic Adminstra-
ton" There are the two platforms: One
favors ''hoking' the pensioner, and the
other is opposed to "hoking him" You
must choose between these two. 1t doesn't
take us long to make our choice.

The Animus of Them All.

Occasionally a Democratic newspaper
speaks its true sentiments on the pension
question, and then the real feeling of all
such organs, and the par ty itself, is clearly
revealed They still hate the boys who
wore the blue, or Lincoln hirelings," as
they used to call them, with old-time Con-
federate and Copperhead bitterness and
malignity. The Illustrated American of
New York, is a typical Cleveland or
gan, and here is what it recently said in
support of Grover Cleveland, Hoke Smith
and Commissioner Lochren:
Of the millions now paid out in pensions,
any one who knows anything about the
Civil War knows that three-fourths are
paid to thieves, ,deserters, ,sne axis and bounty
Jumpers who never served an honorable
day in battle. To detect and punish these
will, perhaps, be impossible, unless Con-
gress exhibits more courage than it has
ever before shown. But that some reform
will be made, Judge Lochren's past life is
guarantee.
How can any old Union soldier vote with
such partys 1t would not only rob him
or his needy comrades of a pension, but it
would steal from him that which is dearer
than life Itself, the record of true patriot
ism in the noblest cause in which any pa
triot was ever engaged.

LARRY NEAL says that times were

AN authority says of bicycling women
that the practice of riding on the wheel
ruins a woman's carriage on her feet,
which is pity if it is true. A woman
who walks well is not so common that
she can be spared, even to ride bicycle.

Our Tea and Coffee.

The Democratic tariff policy is to en-
brace taxes upon both the breakfast table
and the sick room, and the New York Sun,
which has become the most rampant Dem
ocratic free trade paper in the country, is
discussing the question in its usual vigor-
Gus manner. 1t favors taxing heavily not
only drugs for the sick, but tea, coffee and
sugar for the healthy. 1t says:
The National Treasury is confronted with
increasing expenditures and decreasing rev.
enues and something has to be done to
make both ends meet. That is easily
settled. The present Congress is in Demo
cratic control, and the Democratic platform
of 1892 pledges its party to establish tar
III for revenue only. Here Is the very op-
portunity to add to our depleted revenues
The Committee of Ways and Means is al
ready at work upon the subject A tariff
for revenue means an equalization of our
customs duties, an average of 80 per cent,
for instance, upon everything that we i'm
port from abroad. Let us apply it to tea
and coffee. Thus:
Tariff at 80
1892. 1mportations per cent
Tea. a.........S IA, 167, All. & 4,25O, ,223
Coffee. 125, ,3S7, 720 ..... 37616, ,3l6
Total tariff for revenue. 81 ,S66. $50
Here is the very thing. Just what the
hSCooy OH lnCIcttcc VI rtl, ,COO,OO5 III
It's revenue from two commodities in daily
use that now escape all the imports of the
custom house. Under the tariff for rev.
enue to which the country is pledged, both
our tea and coffee must pay their Quantum
of revenue. They have been imported
free of duty heretofore for the benefit of
the few. They must now contribute to the
revenue for the benefit of the MANY. Our
6O cent tea will, in the future, cost IS cents.
and our 80 cent coffee will cost 40 cents,
but the Democratic platform of tariff for
revenue only must be carried in its entirety
1t is what the people voted for what they
demanded.
There may be some doubt as to whether
the people ever seriously contemplated
paying such an outrageous and unnecessary
tax or not, but there can be no doubt what
ever that the Southern program is to levy it.
They believe very justly that it would fall
most heavily upon workingmen of the
North, whom they desire to injure in every
conceivable manner. The Southern plant
ers and politicians do not believe much in
allowing the Northern mechanic to drink |
coffee or tea any way.
1t is asking too much Of the McKinlev
law or any other good tariff law to keen |
up prices in the face of Democratic free
trade victory. Coming events cast their
shadows before. We are already in the
darkness of the coming tariff smashing
the glorious reign of British Golden
free trade" |
