MUST OPPOSE RECIPROCITY.

AS ii is a very dull and a very useless
publication, it is not probable that the
Democratic orator and editor will read the
Campaign Book Of the national Democratic
congressional committee, hence the Jour-
nal calls their attention to the following
extract, which is taken from Page 277:
Free trade would open our markets to
beneht our own country. 1t Is hospitable
and seeks peace and good will with all ma
tons. Reciprocity cares nothing for the
consumer and hunts foreign markets with
a club. Its stock in trade is high tarih,
fayoritism, discrimination and retaliation.
1t threatens to slam our doors In the face
OF foreign countries which will not open
their doors to our products. Reciprocity is
based upon the same false theories as Is
protection, and, like protection, is a sham
and a humbug, and to most people mas
been, and will ever continue to be, a delu-
sion and a snare. In practice reciprocity is
worse than protection.
Democratic and free-trade editors. while
Cuban reciprocity was being agitated a few
months ago, commended vigorously for the
principles of reciprocity, confusing it in
some way with free trade. If their tariff
ideas were not the impulse of the hour they
would have seen that reciprocity implies a
protective tariff, and that those who advo-
cate 1t cannot logically be f~ree-traders. AT
the time the Journal reminded them of this
inconsistency and called their attention to
the fact that the Wilson-Gorman tariff
wiped out a half-dozen reciprocal treaties
made by the Harrison administration
Nevertheless. the anti-protection organs in
this vicinity continued to sound the praises
of reciprocity.
1t is fair to assume that before the DEM
ocratic Congressional Campaign Book was
issued all such important declarations as
the foregoing were submitted TO the Demo-
cratic leaders and received their approval.
Therefore, it is the Democratic creed so far
as reciprocity is concerned. Democrats
should declare that Gin practice reciprocity
is worse than protection" and should OPP
pose any scheme of reciprocity with Cuba
as did the Democrats in the Senate when
they gave the Republican leaders in that
body to understand that they would oppose
the measure they proposed.

Gently made to the trustees of the con-

Indiana an offer to donate the site and to
put up the buildings for a United Brethren
State College in indianapolis, on certain
conditions, returned last night from the
st. Joseph Conference of the church, now
being held in Peru. with the news that his
proposition has been accepted by that con-
ference as well as by the White River Con-
ference that met in Marion a few weeks
ago, and that the new college is practically
a certainty. All that remains is for the
church in this State to carry out its share
OF the agreement.
Mr.. Elders proposition was to furnish the
land for the campus site and to erect build
ing to cost not less than $4,000, on con-
dition that the church take upon itself the
task of disposing of 46 lots which Mr..
Elder owns In an addition south of the
city. At the conference In Marion the
plan was discussed thoroughly by the trus-
tees and was agreed to in detail.
Mr.. Elder laid before the st. Joseph Con-
ference the same proposition and 1t was ac-
cepted with the same enthusiasm. The st.
Joseph and Marion conferences are the
most important of the church and their
acceptance means the acceptance OF all.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS TODAY.

Republican meetings will be held to-day
in a large number of the larger towns,
which will be addressed by prominent men
in the party living in the State and from
other States. These meetings will be Of
special Importance because the addresses
will be prepared with a view of stating the
Republican position upon the issues before
the country. The meetings to-day are the
first in a campaign that will be devoted to
much speaking. Such being the case, the
speeches of to-day will be what are called
the keynote. If a number of speeches were
to be delivered In Indiana to-day by those
who are regarded as the Democratic party
leaders there would be so many keynotes
that discord rather than harmony would
be the result. Mr.. Bryan would demand
the living up to the Kansas City platform,
while ex-senator Hill would denounce it
or at least ignore 1t. If all the leading ora
tors of 1896 and 1900 should speak they would
pass over in silence the questions to which
they devoted the larger part of their ad-
dresses in 1896. If Republicans allude to
that issue to-day it will be to rejoice that the
calamity which the free coinage of silver
would have brought to the country has
been averted. If the men who went up and
down the land in 1896 and 1900, literally
foaming at the mouth FOR 10 to /, should
make speeches to-day they would allude
to it as a dead issue because of the changed
conditions. If they should tell the truth
in giving a reason for discarding free silver
they would say as has the Sentinel that
1t is impossible for the party to win a VIC
tory on that issue.
The voters of Indiana are a busy people
this year, because. whatever else prosper
ity does. it compels people to attend to its
behests and therefore keeps them at work.
Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that
to-day's meetings will be largely attended.

Hon. Charles G. Dawes, former controller
of the currency and a recognized authority
on finance. thinks the United States should
have an elastic currency that will relieve
the money market of its annual ~stringency
at crop-moving time. In an address be-
fore the Credit Mems Association in Chi
cago Mr.. Dawes said:
/ do not believe it is possible under our
present banking laws to have an asset cur
rency of this description, and Congress will
face a difficult problem when il undertakes
to enact the necessary reform in our bank
ing system. 1t would be a great mistake to
pass any law like the bill which has been
under consideration. The danger of an in
fiation of our currency is too great to admit
of the consideration of that plan.
My belief is hat an asset currency some
thing like the clearing house certificates
adopted by the New York banks would
meet the emergency satisfactorily. What
we need In the way of legislation Is a sim
pie, definite and direct law which can be
easily understood by all. My fear is that
Congress will attempt to go too far in its
endeavor to reform our currency and do
something so radical and revolutionary
that disaster will follow.
Our present currency is all right with
the single exception of lack of elasticity to
meet business emergencies. That should be
the objective point Of any further currency
legislation. and 1t should be secured with
as much d%irectness- and as little machinery
as possible.

The announcement that leaders In the

a new party based upon organized labor
seems not to attract much attention. If
such a party should be started it will prob
ably not live long. Even IL organized labor
should go with it. which is not at all prob
able. the going would al about equal
numbers from the two leading parties. A
labor party has not commended itself to
