Vote Straight.

The Republican ticket from start to
finish is good one, made up OF strong
men, well worthy of the suffrage of all,
- capable of filling the offices for
which they are severally nominated.
Republicans can not consistently do
otherwise than to vote the whole ticket
without skip or scratch. 1t Is easier to
do so than to attempt to discriminate
against any name on the ticket, and a
great deal better.

Letter to Orrtn Packard.
gI.os.l .nUn NJ

Dear Sir: You can make our paint.
IL would cost you more than to buy IL;
because we work by machinery, you by
hand. We grind and mix /; you only mix.
Your paint would not be the same,
because mere mixing isn't enough.
We use a good deal of zinc. You cant
do that; 1t is hard to mix. A streak OF
lead and stread of zinc is not lead and
zinc. The lead would chalk of, and the
zinc peel off. Lead and zinc stays on.
II is grinding together, intimate mix
ing, that makes Devoe lead and zinc
good paint. You can't do that; and
couldn't afford it, even If you could do 1t.
We have been making paint Ids years.
We make a good deal; can afford to pro-
vide the machinery for It.
We are your helper, not your hinderer.
Yours truly,
81 r. w. DEvoE & Co.

feasance OF its officers. 1t is subject to
the power Of the Government, like the
national banks. but its capital stock IS
held by private persons, as is also the
case in the national banks.
Indeed, the utmost care is taken in the
bill TO restrain and limit the powers Of
the corporation, the officers and stock
holders, so as to protect depositors and
contine its action to the legitimate pur-
poses of its creation.
1t is made liable to taxation by the
States in which it or its branches are To-
Gated, or where it does business.
In section 81 it is provided that the
rights conferred by the act shall not be
exclusive, but bank may be established
under its provisions by any citizen Of the
United States.
I cannot review an act of thirty-three
sections in the proper limits of this let
ter but can only call attention to some
Ct its leading provisions that, l believe,
fully Justify the passage of the bill.
SUCH A BOND NEEDED.
Our cotton planters, above all. need the
assistance such a bank WOULD give them
in putting Il fair price on their crops.
Under the national banking laws they
cannot obtain a dollar OF money by way
OF loan on their lands, no matter how
valuable they are. They could do this
in our State banks, and can do it in this
bank II it Is ever chartered, and thereby
escape the terrible tax they must pay
their merchants for handling their crops
or for some assistance in raising them.
TO my understanding, this is crue.
discrimination against all producers in
the national banking laws, and this IS
the first effort Of Congress to relieve
them It is perfectly safe to all the
world, and 1 gladly give my support TO the
principle, that the real estate Of the pro
Queer. miner and manufacturer, accord
ing to its value, is better security for
the loan Of money by a bank chartered
by the Government and resting on the
credit of the people, than the personal
obligation OF the merchant who handled
what the former has produced. This
discrimination is public wrong, intended
TO benefit the national banks and their
customers, the trading classes who handle
money at the expense of the producers.
who, through great labor, furnish the en-
tire body OF the material that constitutes
commerce. These advantages of the
national banks should in some way be con-
trolled and as the State banks seem to be
abandoned by our party, can see no bet
ter way to hold the national banks In
check than to create another form OF
banking institution, under the control OF
the government in which producers can
get assistance on safe security to raise
the crops ard send them to market
