mated for Governor.

In spite Of James L. Campbelrs earnest
and repeated protest that his friends must
not nominate him as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, us he could not
make the race for various reasons, tho cx-
Governor was put ut the head of tho ticket

day by the 800 delegates to the Ohio State

was forced upon the Butler county man

Peck, of Cincinnatti, for the same honor.
Then came Il graceful acceptance and the
rest OF the ticket was mad" up on the accla-
nation order. Senator Brirc won his point
ot having only Il reaiiirmatiou Of the ma
uonal currency plank inserted in the plat
lorm, on this sound money winning by

The Cry for More Money

The tendency of an irredeemable Gov
| eminent currency is to drift to the money
centers, and there, when its volume is
to incite to imitation and speculation.
Once at the great centers it stays there,
and this is the cause of the dearth OF
money in the West and South. 1t is the
real reason for that honest cry, of which
dishonest leaders take advantage and fan
into a dangerous 1ame-the cry for more
money-which ever and anon sweeps into
whirlwind, now for silver, now for state
money, now for fiat money, for people S
money money on farm mortgages, money
per capita, by the barrel, tons of it, mil
lions and millions! | do not wonder that
our representatives from those regions
which have been denuded of the natural
rights of community, the right to bank
notes, feel that they must heed this cry.
There is good, honest remedy for all
this. 1t is through the permission of
note issues to banks, without specially
pledged security, under proper general
supervision. We have this supervision in
almost complete perfection in the national
system. But the banks are now held
down to an issue of 80 per cent par of
bonds. There is no profit in this, and
so no relief, because banks will absolutely
refuse to put out u single note voluntarily
unless there is a profit in it. The issue
must eventually be not against bond Sc
curity, but against the general assets of
the bank, with provision for daily re-
demption, SO that the notes will stay to
do their work in their own neighborhood,
thus clothing them with all the advan-
tages claimed for state bank issues, but
with none of the dangers. G.
Cornwell in February Forum.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-02-17

that their votes are given for the measure
for the sake of religion and morality.
The majority of the Catholic press regard
the action OF the Centrists in agreeing to
support the measure as desertlon OF
party principles, and declare that it will
be condemned by the majority OF the
Catholics of Germany. BY winning over
the followers of Lieber and Groeber, who
number between thirty and forty, the
government is sure to secure 30 votes for
the measure and this will give them a
safe majority. What bargain the Cen
trists have made with the government
remains unknown.
Invitations will be issued by the Gov
eminent to all the maritime powers OF
Europe and America to send warships to
take part in the naval display and the
fetes which will take place on the opening
of the Baltic and North sea canal ON the
Sth of June. 1t is understood that Presi-
be sent to France. The Emperor is TAX
ing keen interest in the opening of the
new canal. 1t is expected its opening
will serve to bring back the waning pros
perity of Lubbock, Dantzic, Stettin and
other German ports. The fetes will be in
grand scale and will last several days.
\ monster concert will take place next
Saturday in the colonnade of the Reich
stag building for the benefit of the fam
lilies of the persons who lost their lives by
the sinking of the Elbe. The royal or
chestra will take part.
Influenza has again secured a hold.
One of the last persons seized with the
disease was Herbert Squires, the second
Secretary of the American embassy. The
American residents of Berlin have
arranged to celebrate Washington's birth
day by a concert, addresses and ball at
the Reichshoif. Ambassador Runyon will
preside and will also, on the same day,
from to 5 O'Clock in the afternoon, hold
a reception at his residence.
A decision OF the government has been
published by which corned beef and other
canned meets will hereafter pay duty of
20 marks per 100 kilos, instead OF IL
