In Il high degree of prosperity. and its
growth during the past year had dem

In the course of his address Presi-

nance of the gold standard of value,
and said:
Are we in anywisc blame worthy
for the growth of the free silver senti-
ment? Is it not true that a large
number of bankers have, perhaps un-
consciously, contributed to bring
about the present dissatisfaction OF

when tradesman or farmer goes TO

with refusal on the ground that
there is scarcity of money, or he is
informed that because Of the scarcity
Of money he must pay high rate OF

sue, especially if money Is not scarce

customers and when re fusing advances

the banker to put in more diversified
crops or to produce something that
will sell for cash, so that he can pay
his loans at the bank at maturity.
Or. If merchant is selling to "A
class of trade in "a community that
is undesirable he should be eau
toned and advised regarding
this whole subject. In other words,
the banker should be looked upon by
his clients the same as a good family

Hanna's Assessments.

The New York Journal of yesterday
makes public the fact that the Repub
lican National Committee has decided
to assess the financial institutions of
New England and vicinity one-eighth
of per cent. on their capital stock as
a campaign fund to be used in the cri-
teal States of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, and Michigan, and that ex-Gov-
ernor Buckley, of Connecticut, has
been assigned the duty of collecting
the assessment in his State. Already
the ex- Governor has met with many re-
fusals. The Journal adds that in New
Jersey nine national banks have voted,
through their directors, to pay their
assessment, despite the protests of the
Democratic directors. This is the most
audacious step yet taken by the Ma
tional Committee, and is we'll in keep
ing with party one of whose brilliant
lights says if the election goes Dem
ocratic, 1--WE will not abide the results
OF the election Nothing could better
illustrate the character of the fight
now being made against the people
than this bold effort to buy their coun-
try over their heads and Illustrate the
popular will. Nor do we think any
thing could more clearly show. the des-
peration Of the Republican situation
in the States they are trying to buy
with this dishonest fund.
