is more than all our currency prior to
1889 and is $l063 per capita of our popu-
lation. which is higher than the total cir
culation in 1867.
In spite OF the vast outflow the gross

sENaToI. HOAR ON THE REP UB
LICAN PARTY.

1nis campaign may be apath etc beyond
measure. and its present state Of peaceful
ness will, in all probability, continue to
lle end. but 1t has not been lacking in the
elements that help The growth of true
CITIZENSHIP. Amid The fierce partisan
strife of the Tilden-Hayes campaign or
the ,lnreasoning excitement Of the free 81
yer campaign in 1896. mems minds were
too Influenced by prejudice or error to be
able 10 discuss clarnly the principles on
which their votes could be cast The en-
thusiasm of such campaigns doubtless
strengthens the knees Of many weak
brother, but it no less ohscures the reason
OF many i strong one, and We need clear
reasoning and calm vision in high places
if we are to continue our national growth.
Enthusiastic and unreasonins support IS
all very well, but it is better for man to
step and consider the grounds Tor the
faith That is in them. II that faith is based
on high ideals and noble aspirations, 50
IS unsafe ana false, then let us know it.
that we may see whittier We are tending.
One of the striking phenomena of tbs
campaign is the calm and almost in2a-
sonal discussion Of the fundamental prin-
ciples on which the two parties are built.
In the current number of the Interna-
tional Monthly there Is a short history of
the Republican and Democratic parties,
h.
Senator George T. Iioar takes the Repub-
lican side, and Professor A D. Muse shows
what the Democratic party stands for and
has accomplished.
helpful to a high degree, but we think
Senator Hoar gives his party no real as
sistance. in the public estimation. by
descanting on its efforts to give the negro
the full suffrage right of the Fifteenth
Amendment. whether the South liked It or
not.
II is an old saw that the wearer OF the
shoe knows the pinch as no one else does.
Ii is very easy 10 be dognatic as To the
.eurse of action that Vermont ana Massa-
chusetts would follow If they had large
negro POPULATIONS, n the absence of the
only proof that can make such assertions
valuable. That The South is solid and will
remain so as long as The possibility of
negro domination exists, is a fact that
Senator Hoars praises % the Republican
party can never affect.
There are many people and perhaps
States in the South who from ineltna-
ton and from reasons of personal advan-
tage should be Republican,, but they Will
never accept the benefits or give their
support 10 a party which stands and has
stood for The enforced relation between
The races that has marked the Republican
programme since 1856.

a BLOT ON THE CAMPAIGN.

II Mr. Bryan had accepted a bride OF
$4,000 TO have the free silver plank in
serted in the Democratic platform he
would be universally estimated as the
most contemplate public man this coun-
Try has produced since the days OF Bene-
dict Arnold The crime were so inonstrous
that the people would be slow to believe
Ii of Mr. Bryan, although irrefutable proof
were brought to bear, yet a reputable
newspaper in New York city printed this
charge against him upon the unsupported
assertion of one Kinsman, of Peoria, of
whom the public never heard.
Such campaigning is disgraceful and the
American people VIII not tolerate it. Char
acter is too precious to be tritled with for
campaign purposes.
