The commitment Of the democratio
party TO free silver by 10 many state
conventions Is TO large degree tho
expression of antagonism TO Cleveland.
The rank and file of the democratic
party are making Of Grover the scape-
goat for the party. Upon his head arc
laid all the evils of the deficit producing
wilson tariff law and the piling up of
the bonded debt for which II was pri-
marily responsible; and he Is to be
driven forth into the desert as propi-
tiatson for the sins of his party.
Besides this, the democratic leaders
are agonizedly anxious TO change the
issue" They fought and won the bat
tie of 1892 under the banner of low
tariff, and were ohampioned and led by
Cleveland himself. They humbugged
and deceived the people completely.
Never in our history has an unsound
political theory been 80 quickly exposed
and found worthless. Not one Of the
main democratic arguments for low
tariff, presented from every stump In
1892, but Is secuted to-day as false and
pernicious to the people.
Face TO face with the certainty of de-
served and overwhelming defeat at the
hands OF n deceived and outraged peo-
pie, the only hope of the democratic
leaders is in a new issue. They desire
TO make the people forget all about the
tariff failure. They want to get them
stirred up on another fallacy. in the
hope that the battered old hulk Of
democracy may ride on tidal wave
once more into the haven of national
control. Hence they have taken up the
free silver fallacy and propose 20 re-
peat the tactics of 1892. They will
again attempt wholesale misleading
OF the voting masses into the support OF
false and pernicious theory.
Can the people be fooled n second
time? The free silver at sixteen TO one
theory Is even worse tlAnn the low tariff
theory. The very men who would suf-
fer most, were It TO be- put into opera

ingmen, those who work for wages. IL
would mean a financial panic SO severe
that the one of 1898 would be insignifi-
can't beside 1t. In place of reducing
wages from ten TO fifteen per cent, it
would reduce them one-half at one
stroke. And this reduction would come
10 every man who is on salary or hire,
from the president of the United States
down TO the humblests street laborer. Are
the people such fools ns to be gulled the
second time within the short space OF
four years?-Toledo Blade.

what Protection Means To tho Americas
Wool Growers.


For 10 years (since the year 1870
wool was accorded protection under all
administrations, never during all that
time, except certain kinds of wool under
the act Of 1857, modifying the Walker
tariff of 1916, has wool been on the free
list. From that date until 1884. under
continuous policy, and especially un-
der the highly protective tariffs of 1861
and 1867, our herds OF sheep have in
creased from 100000 in 1916 to 50,-
GIG, 626 in 1884. and our product OF wool
from 13,O000OO in 1916 to 100000, 900
pounds in 1884; and while by reason of
the reduction of the tariff rates on wool
by the act of 1883 our fiocks fell of in
1880 10 1880 900 head, they, under the
stimulus of the increased rates Of the
Mckinley act of 1890, had increased in
1898 TO 4y,2T3, 533 head, and so greatly
had the character of the stock and it's
capacity for producing wool been in
creased that our 47,e00,000 sheep in 1893
produced over $4,000, 900 pounds of wool
more and OF an infinitely superior quail
ity, than did our so geo, 626 head of sheep
In 1884. During the latter year the wool
product OF this country was but 300,-
10000 pounds. while In 1893 II was 364.-
$4,000 pounds.-Hon. John II. Mitchell.

We have recently drawn attention,
more than once, To the unsatisfactory
business that the national banks of the
United States have been transacting
since the advent of democratic admin
tstration, and we are now enabled to
confirm the results OF previous investi-
cations and point out moreover. that
the great democratic improvement" In
business this year has resulted in a still
further decrease of the amount OF
money placed out on loan by. and also
of the aggregate amount OF money on
deposit In, the national banks.
Taking, first, the amounts of the
loans at the different periods given. as
ascertained by Investigations of the
comptroller OF the currency, we find
them to have been as follows:

FOOD FOR CHILDREN.
A Few Facts which Mothers Would
DO Well to Remember.


No solid food of any kind should be
given TO a child until IL has the larger
share of it's first teeth. Even then IL
must not be supposed that because q
child has acquired Its teeth IL may par
take of all kinds OF food with impunity.
The digestive apparatus OF child diff
fers greatly from that of an adult
in its anatomical structure, and in the
character and amount of digestive
fluids, and il is by no means proper to
allow a child to ent all kinds Of even
wholesome food which healthy adult
stomach can digest with impunity, to-
say nothing of the rich, highly seasoned
viands. sweetmeats and epicurian
dishes which seldom fail TO form some
part of the bill of fare. Children are
not likely TO crave unsuitable foods un-
less n taste for such articles has been de-
veloped by indulgence in them.-Mrs-
L. 4. Kellogg, in Good Housekeeping.

Deposits IN NATIONAL BANKS.

In 1892. September 30, the net deposits
In the national banks of New York city
were 1891 100000. Two months ago, on
February 2s, they were only s3o2,0s0,-
AS, loss OF nearly 100000, 900 in de-

the democratic convention meets in Chi
cago next month IL should point with
pride" 10 these conditions of democratic
prosperity and democratic good
times" other cities that show smaller
deposits In their national banks since

trade administration are as follows:

LoANs on NArloNAL nANKs.


The top notch of business prosperity
for the national banks was reached In
1892, under our protective tariff, nat
urally, when business was active and
there was good demand for money.
After the panic of 1893 there was tenn
porary revival in 1894, and again in 1895,
corresponding with the fitful democrat
ic trade "revivals." But these were
merely temporary, and the great "busi-
ness improvement" of the present year,
with its unprecedented number OF trade
failures and decreasing bank clearings,
has brought the money-lending bust
ness of national banks back TO their con-
dltion In 1859, thus corresponding with
the output OF our factories and the en-
ployment OF our labor. both Of which
have retrogressed more than half n
decade.
At New York city, where there IRE &C
many bankers who believe in free trade
and who ore ready to do the bidding Of
n free trade administration, it is inter
esting TO note that the amount of
money loaned by Che national banks on
September 30, 1892, was s344 100000.
But on February % of the present year
IL was only 1925 ,367, 900. falling of OF
nearly $10,000,000, which represents an
annual loss OF interest approximating
n round million dollars. Some OF the
other cities that show loss, under de-
mocracy, in their banking business arc
here appended as an ''object lesson" for
bankers:

DAMS AND DISCOUNTS.

These are instructive figures. But we
find those Of the deposits in the national
banks to be still more so. Here, again,
the top notch was in 1892, over two bill
lions OF dollars, while there has been n
falling Off OF more than S350,o00,oo0 in
individual deposits since 1892, tho
amount couple OF months ago, on Feb
ruary %, 1896, being equal only TO the
deposits OF 1889. Thus the retrogres-
sion in the business Of national banks
has been, according TO both deposits and
loans and discounts. one of more than
six years. The details are as follows:
