NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY.

The position taken by the platform
against the issue Of paper money by ma
tional banks is supported by the highest
Democratic authority, as well as demand
ed by the interests Of the people. The
present attempt Of the national banks to
force tho retirement o. United States and
treasury notes in order to secure basis
for larger issue Of their own notes, IL
Illustrates the danger which arises from
permitting them to issue their paper as a
circulating medium. The national bank
notes, being redeenable in lawful money,
have never been better than the United
States note which stands behind it, and
yet the banks persist that these United
States notes which draw no interest shall
give place to Understanding bonds in
order that tho banks may collect the in
terest which the people now save. To en-
power national banks to issue circulating
notes is to grant valuable privilege to
favored class, surrender to private corpor-
ations the control over the volume of
paper money and build up class which
will claim q vested interest in the nations
financial policy. Our United States
notes, commonly known as greenbacks,
redeenable in either gold or silver, at the
option Of the government, and not at tho
option of the holder, are safer and cheaper
for the people than national bank notes
based upon Understanding bonds.

THE TARIFF.

It is not necessary to discuss the tariff
question at this time. Whatever may be
the individual views of citizens as to the
relative merits Of protection and tariff re-
form, all must recognize that until the
money question Is fully and finally settled
the American people will not consent to
the consideration of any other important
questions. Taxation presents a prob
lem which in some form is continu-
ually present, and a postponement of
definite action upon it involves no
sacrifice of personal opinion or political
principles, but the crisis presented by
financial conditions cannot be postponed.
Tremendous results will follow the action
taken by the United States on the money
question and delay is impossible. The
people of this nation, sitting as u high,
court, must render Judgment in the cause
which greed is prosecuting against hui
manity. The decision will either give
hope and inspiration to those who toll, or
shut the doors Of mercy on mankind.
In the presence of this overshadowing
issue, differences upon minor questions
must be laid aside In order that there may
be united action among those who are de-
termined that progress toward universal
gold standard shall be stayed, and the
gold and silver coinage of the constitu-
tion restored. w. j. BRYAN.

secretary's Telegram Commented on Mt
the Different Headquarters.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Secretary
Lamont has sent a telegram to Chair
man Bynum Of the national committee
IF the National Democratic party pledg-
ing his support to Palmer and Buclner.
The telegram excited considerable COM
ment in political circles. It was the
first declaration Of the secretary con-
corning his attitude in the present
campaign, and was thought here to
foreshadow the position which the
president will probably take in regard
to tho Indianapolis nominees. The at
titude of Secretaries Carlisle, Morton,
Francis and Herbert toward the Chi
cago ticket are already known. Secre-
tary Lamont's declaration was hailed
with satisfaction at the Republican
headquarters. At Democratic congress
sional headquarters the officials de-
clared that the position taken by Mr..
Lamont had already been discounted.
Senator Faulkner, chairman Of the COM
mittee, was asked his opinion of the tel
egram, but he declined to be inter-
viewed on the subject.

THE MATTER OF BONDS.

An increase In the bonded debt of the
United States at this time is entirely with
out excuse. The issue Of interest bearing
bonds within the last few years has been
defended on the ground that they were
necessary to secure gold with which to
redeem United States and treasury notes,
but this necessity was imaginary
rather than real Instead Of ex-
ercising the legal right vested
in the United States to redeem it's coin
obligations in either gold or silver, the
executive branch Of the government has
followed precedent established by q
former administration and surrendered
the option to the holder Of the obligations.
This administrative policy leaves the gov
eminent at the mercy Of those who find q
pecuniary profit in bond issues. The fact
that the dealers in money and securities
have been able to deplete or protect the
treasury according their changing whims,
shows how dangerous 1t Is to permit them
to exercise controlling influence Of the
treasury department.. The government Of
the United States, when administered In
the interests of the people, will establish
and enforce it's financial policy, not only
without the aid of syndicates, but in spite
Of any opposition which syndicates may
present.
Toassert that the government is depend
ent upon the good will or assistance Of any
portion of the people other than a consti-
tutional majority is to assert that we have
q government In form but without vital

PRODUCERS OF WEALTH.

Labor creates capital. Until wealth IS
produced by the application Of brain and
muscle to the resources Of this country,
there is nothing to divide among the non
producing classes of society. Since the
producers Of wealth create the nations
prosperity in time of peace, and defend
the nations flag in time Of peril, their in
terests ought at all times to be considered
by those who stand in official positions.
The Democratic party has ever found its
voting strength among those who are
proud to be known as the common people,
and it pledges itself to propose and enact
such legislation as is necessary to protect
the masses in the free exercise Of every
political right and in the enjoyment Of
their just share of tho rewards of their

EMPHASIS ON ARBITRATION.

desire to give special emphasis to the
plank which recommends such legislation
as is necessary to secure the arbitration of
differences between employers engaged in
interstate commerce and their employees.
Arbitration Is not new idea-it is simply
an extension of the court of justice. The
laboring men of the country have ex-
pressed desire for arbitration, and the
railroads cannot reasonably object to the
decisions rendered by an impartial tribu-
nal. Society has an interest even greater
than the interest Of employer or employee
and has right to protect itself by courts
of arbitration against the growing incon-
yenience and embarrassment occasioned
by disputes between those who own the
great arteries of commerce on the one
hand and the laborers who operate them
on the other.

RAILROADS.

The right Of the United States govern
ment to regulate interstate commerce
cannot be questioned, and the necessity
for the vigorous exercise of that right is
becoming more and more imperative. The
interests Of the Whole people requires such
an enlargement of the powers Of the inter
state commerce commission as will enable
1t to prevent discrimination between per
sons and places, and protect patrons from
unreasonable charges.
The government cannot afford to dis
criminate between its debtors and must
therefore prosecute its legal claims against
the Pacific railroads. Such q policy Is
necessary for the protection Of the rights
Of the patrons as we'll as for the interests
of the government. a

Boston Sept. 10-The first West
India hurricane Of the season arrived
off this city during the day after a long
but eventful journey from the tropics.
The storm center is somewhat south.
east of Nantucket, but so energetic is
the disturbance that heavy northwest
gale is sweeping the entire New Eng
land coast from Eastport to Block
island, while the surf, aided by one Of
the highest tides of the year, is threat
ening destruction to hundreds of sea-
shore cottages and other property along
the water front. The great height of
the tide at once warned the cottagers
along shore and many abandoned their
summer homes. The wind in many in.
stances drives the sea high upon the
beaches, wrecking houses. The tide at
Nantucket is one Of the highest seen
for years and many of the booths and
lighthouses have been washed away.
The harbor is well filled with storm
bound vessels.

THE TERRITORIES.

The territorial form of government is
temporary in its nature and should give
way as soon as the territory is sufficiently
advanced to take its place among the
states. New Mexico, Oklahoma and Ari-
IONA are entitled to statehood, and their
early admission is demanded by their
material and political interests. The DE-
mahd Of the platform that officials ap.
pointed to administer the government d
the territories, the District Of Columbia
and Alaska should be bona fide residents
of the territories or district, is en-
tirely in keeping with the Dem
ocratio theory Of home rule. I
am also heartily in sympathy with the
declaration that all public lands should
be reserved for the establishment Of free
homes for American citizens.

MONROE DOCTRINE.

A dignified but firm maintenance Of the
foreign policy first set forth by President
Monroe and reiterated by the presidents
who have succeeded him, instead of arous-
ing hostility abroad, Is the best guarantee
of amicable relations with other nations.
1t is better for all concerned that the
United Suites should resist any extension
of European authority in the Western
Hemisphere rather than invite the contin-
ual irritation which would necessarily re-
suit from any attempt to increase the
influence of monarchial institutions over
that portion Of the Americas which has
been dedicated to Republican government.

was the absence of the old leaders.

One of these made an attempt to speak
in the convention; but was unsuccessful.
The action of the county committee

large number of requests asking for
silver dollars of this years coinage in
exchange for silver certificates or other
lawful money. Many of these requests

the truth of the monthly coinage state
ment, while others ask for shipments of

These requests have been complied
with as fast as received.
The number of standard silver dollars
coined during last August is shown by

and since November, 1893, $15, 169, 491.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 10.-The failure
Of the Union National bank is an
nounced. Its capital stock is 100000,
and it claims to have besides surplus
of $150,0OO. The cause Of the. suspen-
zion 10 attributed to long line OF defaa.

bookkeeping was changed and which
are said to amount to about $500, 900.
There has been quiet run on the bank
for some time SO that the deposits still
in it's charge will not reach $10o, 900, the
largest individual depositor having
about $4,000. The failure caused a
considerable run on other banks and
the clearinghouse passed resolution
limiting Withdrawals to 800 SO as to
prevent panic.

DUAL GOVERNMENT.

Honest differences of opinion have ever
existed and ever will exist as to the most
effective means of securing domestic tran
guilty, but no citizen fails to recognize at
all times and under all circumstances the
.bsolute necessity for the prompt and Wig
orous enforcement Of law and the preser-
walton of the public peace In a govern
ment like ours law Is but the crystalliza-
ton of the will of the people. Without 1t
the citizen is neither SECURE in the enjoy
ment of life and liberty, nor protected In
the pursuit of happiness Without obe-
dience to law government Is impossible.
Tho Democratic party is pledged to
defend the constitution and enforce
the law of the United States,
and it is also pledged to respect
and preserve the dual scheme Of govern
1nent instituted by the founders of the
republic The name, United States, was
happily chosen. It combines the idea of
national strength with the idea Of local
self government and suggests IAN indis-
soluble union of understandable states"
Our revolutionary fathers, fearing the
tendencies toward Capitalization, as we'll
as the dangers of disintregration, guarded
against both, and national safety, as we'll
as domestic security, Is to be found in the
careful observance Of the limitations
which they impose. It will be noticed
that while the United States guarantees
: to every state q republican form of gov
eminent, and is empowered to protect
each state against invasion, it is not
authorized to interfere in the domestic
affairs of any state except upon appli-
cation Of the legislature of the state, or
upon the application Of the executive
when the legislature cannot be convened.
This provision rests upon the sound
theory that the people of the state, acting
through their legally chosen representa-
tives, are, because of their more intimate
acquaintance with local conditions, bet
ter qualified than the president to judge
!. of the necessity for federal assistance.
Those who framed our constitution wisely
determined to make as broad an applica-
ton Of the principles of local self govern
lrlent as circumstances would permit, and
we cannot dispute the correctness of the
position taken by them without express.
ing distrust of the people themselves.

PURPOSES OF GOVERNMENT.

Our institutions rest upon the PROPOSE
tion that all men, being created equal, are
entitled to equal consideration at the
hands of the government. Because all
men ore created equal it follows that no
citizen has q natural right to injure any
other citizen. The main purpose of gov
eminent being to protect all citizens In
the enjoyment Of life, liberty and the pur
suit OF happiness, this purpose must lead
the government, first, to avoid acts of af
firmative injustice, and second, to re-
strain each citizen from trespassing upon
the rights Of any other citizen.
A Democratic form of government is
conducive to the highest civilization be-
cause it opens before each individual the
greatest opportunities for development
and stimulates to the highest endcavor by
insuring to each the full enjoyment Of all
the rewards Of toll except such contribu-
ton as Is necessary to support the gov
crnment which protects him. Democ-
racy is Indifferent to pedigree-it deals
with the individual rather than with his
ancestors. Democracy ignores differences
in wealth-neither riches nor poverty can
be invoked in behalf Of or against any citi-
zen Democracy knows no creed-recog-
rfiizing the right of each individual to wor-
ship God according to the dictates of his
own conscience, it welcomes all to q COM
mon brotherhood and guarantees equal
treatment to all, no matter in what
church, or through what forms they COM
1nune with their Creator.
Having discussed portions of the plat
form at the time of It's adoption and again
when your letter of notification was for
1nally delivered, it will not be necessary at
this time to touch upon all the subjects
embraced in the party's declaration.

Chicago road had turned over block Of
unsigned return trip tickets to broker
which he could sell at a rate of $l8 to
Boston, from Chicago. Taking this as
basis, the 500 at once made straight
cut rate of $1S from Minneapolis, tickets
good until Oct. 3. The Chicago roads
claim that the 500 has simply made an
excuse, but the Minneapolis road claims
that it has positive evidence of the ac-
cusation. The cut will probably precip-
itate great cut in rates, unless some
thing is done to stop it.
