The Republicans in Indiana tod %
meeting in State convention and
in the history of the party has there
been a larger and more enthusiastic
gathering. The platform adopted
rei,erates belief in the Republican doc
trine of protection and reciprocity,
which furnish a home market for the pro-
ductions of our factories and our farms
and protects the American laborer
against the competition of the pauper
labor of Europe. 1t denounces the unwise
and unpatriotic action of the Democra-
tic party in attempting to eliminate the
reciprocity principles from our tariff
system pointing out the injudiciousness
of closing big foreign markets to the pro-
ducts of the American far
mer. 1t arraigns the present
attempt of Democratic Congress to
overthrow and destroy the American
industrial system as a course, that, with
the general fear Of violent readjust-
ment Of the country's business on a
free trade basis, has increased
the national debt, plunged the
country into the most disastrous
business depression of its history, thrown
thousands of laborers out of employ
ment and Inundated them by making
them the objects of charity that their
families might not starve.
1t opposes wild cat" money, condemns
the pension policy of the present Admin
istration and demands rigid enforce
ment of the immigration laws and
demands "such further legislation as
will protect our people and institutions
against the influx of the criminal and
vicious classes.
1t is platform that will find favor with
the thoughtful and the support of those
having the best interests of the govern
ment at heart. The grand old doctrine
of protection with reciprocity, stands out
bold and uncompromised. welcome
beacon to a distressed people. The plat
form is on national lines as today local
issues lie buried beneath the more inn
portant questions of national Importance

The New York banks have some
$50 .OO0,0 900 in reserve in excess of legal
requirements. This pulse of the times
illustrates the difference between the
present ora of depression and that of
1867 and 1873. In the latter years the
trouble was due to lack of money. To-
day it is due to lack of employment for
money. And the Wilson tariff bill is the
Sword of Damocles that takes away the
appetite for business.
