WHEREAS AND RESOLVED.

The NEws hesitates TO say anything
unkind of the Rhode Island Democracy
or that will still further prejudice its
present condition of dire distress. But
the doleful occasion in Infantry Hall
the other day, when Reformer CON-
STOCK and Colonel FARNswoRTH
nominated, behind their Backs
taking advantage of their absence
two estimable members of their party
for Congress, was further productive of
things that are worthy of making espe-
cial note of with view to restraining
the plying smile from bursting into
mocking grin. Those things were plat
forms.
Each district convention had its own
little platform and on these the respec-
tive district suffragists in the party are
supposed to stand. The platforms are
distinctly pathetic. There is nothing
in them to arouse other emotions than
those OF pity in the sympathetic heart
and only the soul scared to the fire.
quently paralyzing exigencies of poll
tics will find in them anything to laugh
out loud at. To laugh at them would
be cruelty refined. Spread the mantle
OF charity over them. Don't shoot the
organisi, for he's doing the best lac can
The Democratic delegates of the sec
ond district for instance declared they
were assembled in Infantry Hall "to
offer their devotion TO the time-honored
principles Of the Democratic party" A.
n matter OF fact, OF course. they were
there TO indnce some Democrat. with
The spirit OF the martyrs, To run oil their
ticket FOR Congress, and the "time.hon-
ored principles Of the Democratic party
whatever those are, may be- said to have
cui 20 particular ice. They cordially
end rsei ihe administration ( GgovER

tration. The Administration has con-
demned itself sufficiently. The News
is glad to see somebody get up and en-
dorse it, if only in a platform, just for
variety.
The Second District platform further
congratulates the Democratic Congress
on the repeal of the Sherman act, which
would never have been repealed without
the aid of Republican votes, and also
on the repeal of the Force bill. which
last act of reform" gives to New York S
Tammany their last CLEAN of hope for
polluting New York politics at the com
ing election. The Second District
platform is Gin favor OF free
iron and coal" which, however, the
much-congratulated Democratic Con-
gress never was in favor of, and the
platform winds up with the startling
assertion that the masses" are in need
of defending by Democratic organiza-
tion The Democracy, by the way,
loves to talk flub-dub about ''masses"
and "classes" in this Republic which
recognizes no such distinction. AS
to the necessity of defending the former
by Democratic organization -
well, that reminds THE NEWS of what
the old lady said whose husband bought
big and ferocious dog to protect the
premises from burglars. The old lady
allowed she preferred TO take chances
with the burglars.
Then the politically late HUGE CAR
ROLL, of Pawtucket, tackled on ''re-
solved" to the effect that the Administra-
tion of the United States release all
"the Irish-American citizens confined
in English prisons for political offences"
and the platform was complete-com-
plete enough.
The First District platform was almost
equally entertaining. II also credited
the Democrats with repeating the Sher-
man act, which Republican votes ac--
complished, and whooped it up for the
perfidy and dishonor tariff bill. 1t
objected to race and religious distinc-
tions and denounced the A. p. A. Of
course the latform con gratulated the
country on the Democratic administra-
ton, but the country is not likely to feel
any richer than it is OH that account.
A veteran humorist was wont TO con-
tend that If a thing Were intrinsically
funny, the funniest way it could be de-
scribed was TO state the facts Of il simp-
ly and plainly.
As serio-comic, the combined Dem
ucratic platforms need no frills. They
are worthy of a permanent position in
Tie Journals funny corner.

The proposition of the American
circulating medium was not day old
when the press of the country burst
forth in mosaic OF comment that
ranged all the way from pean of
unconditional praise to dirge of
idle condemne tion the praise being too
adulatory to contain either lucid ex-
planation or criticism, and the disap-
proval being SO confined to omissions
and clauses which the plan did not Con-
tain as TO leave no room for critical
analysis. IL Is not necessary that the
consideration of national banking
law should include "A discussion of the
advantages Of State bank circulation.
1t was concluded at the outset
that any plan for a universa! currency
could have weight only when that cur
rency was subject to national supervision
and control. So State bank issues were
ommitted and rightly so. Nor was it
necessary that the question of retiring
the paper currency OF the Government
be discussed; the Government issued il,
not the National banks. The Govern
mept can provide for retirement-a feat
which would doubtless be one of ti O
greatest ease were an elastic, and abso-
lutely safe bank currency offered as
substitute.
What the capitalist aud the laborer
wants to know about the proposed
bank currency first Of all is /: Is it abb
solutely safe for all purposes? Second,
is it capable of expansion and contrac-
tion SO as to fully meet the varying
needs of business
On this first question there is much
misapprehension and mistaken thought
because of a failure on the part of most
people to analyze to its fullest extent the
meaning of the terms "basis of circula-
ton" A recent communication on this
subject by Mr.. WALTER LADp of Ashton
announces that the present bank note
has, as its basis, a Government
bond that, on par value of
$l00, 600 in bonds, 5000 in bank
circulation can be issued, (he forgets the
5 per cent. redemption fund of $500,
leaving practically only $50, 800 of bank
notes in circulation upon basis OF
800, 900 in bonds, and that therefore
there is basis of circulation of Ill per
cent. Of Government bonds for every
dollar OF bank note circulation. (He
should have said l34 per cent. as the
proper ratio between $4,000, the
market price of Government bond,
and SIS, 500, the actual circulation out
standing).
But what is Government bond-the
basis of circulation. IL is simply the
Governments promise TO pay--it is a
form of credit; aud hence the bank note
itself is simply contracted form Of
Government credit. That credit. in fact,
is the basis Of about half Of the whole
money medium Of this country. Ii is
The most marvellous spectacle Of the
use Of credits the world has ever
seen. There are outstanding today
of legal tender and treasury notes di-
recily payable in gold. and bank notes
