OWN BANK o C
Democratic Candidates Who Are De-
nouncing National Banks.

nOuncing National Banks.
A prominent Gold Democrat of %Indianapo-
lis writes to the Journal as follows: "A
recent Paragraph In your editorial columns
states that two Democratic candidates for
Congress in Indiana are the owners Of ma
tional bank stock. The following para
graph in the Plymouth Republican shows
that Senator Drummond, Of that town,
Popocratic candidate for attorney general
on the Bryan ticket. is also a stockholder
in one of those wicked institutions a ma
tional bank: &C. p. Drummond, a large
stakeholder in the First National Bank of
Plymouth, is travelling over the country
denouncing national banks. He Is just as
sincere as Bryan and Tillman are when
they talk about the consent of the gov
erned."'
"Drummond is meandering up and down
the State. blatantly denouncing the ma
tional banks and incidentally those who
own and conduct them as enemies Of the
neople' and creatures of the money power
about the man and the dollar while he
is not only staining his angelic hands with
the profits derived from national bank stock,
but has been Tor several years (as We are
reliably informed) an active director in the
institution above named, and probably
now continues as such unless he has very
recently resigned. Consistency. thou art a
jewell This small-bored Marshall county
politician, who aspires TO rattle around In
the shoes of Hord and Wooden, Ketcham
and Taylor Shades of heaven, defend usD
Is, however, only following the hypocritical
example of his chief, Bryan, who, though
denouncing trusts, is himself a tireless ad-
vocate and defender of the most gigantic
trust of modern times the silver-mine
trust whose owners would compel the
people to accept 4S cents worth of their
product for 81; also of Jones, who is a large
beneficiary of the cotton-bale trust, and of
the corrupt Croker, whose pockets are bulg-
ing with the profits of the ice trust. wrung
from the people of Greater New York.
Thanks to the intelligence of the voters Of
the country, the whole hypocritical aggre-
cation. from Bryan down, is to be buried
beneath an avalanche of ballots on the
9Th of November"

FOUR FINANCIAL ACTS
Important Laws That Have Been
Enacted by the Present
Administration.
Success Achieved Under the DinEley
Tnrif-RefOrm in the Currency
War Loan-PnciMc Rail-
road Debt.

Washing on.-Four achievements in
the mana gement of the public finances
and revenues under the administra-
ton of President Mckinley stand out
with marked prominence:
First. in point of success, is the
Dingley tariff; second. the reform in
the currency; third, the war loan of
1898, and fourth, the settlement Of
the Pacific railroad indebtedness.
Perhaps never before in the his
tory of this country have so many
important fiscal achievements been
accomplished in so brief time. With
the exception of the Pacific railroad
settlement, these events bear, to a
considerable degree, relationship to
each other. Underlying the success
of the war loan of 1898 and the re-
form in the currency was the basis
of prosperity established by prompt
and effective tariff legislation. The
president we'll understood the neces-
sity for speedy modification in the
tariff Within 4S hours after his in
auguraticn he issued a proclamation
for an extra session of congress to
assemble March Is, 1897. The brief
message sent to congress when it
