GOOD MEETING AT KENTLAND.


Special to the Indianar oils Journal
KENTLAND, Ind, Oct. 15.-Daniel Z.
Storms, candidate for secretary of state,
had rousing meeting at this place last
evening. Owing to short notice the meet
ing was not advertised until the latter part
of last week, which made 1t impossible for
the committee to inform a large number Of
people living in the country, yet at the hour
set for opening the meeting the courtroom
was crowded 10 the doors. Mr.. Storms
spoke for nearly an hour and half, and
was given most respectful attention by the
audience. One noticeable feature was the
number of young voters present.
The speaker handled the trust question
at length. and the audience appeared to
be seeking enlightenment on this feature
of the campaign. His remarks on high
wages and good times met with cordial APP
prevail. Farm lab0rers In Newton are re-
ceiving higher wages than ever before in
the history Of the county, and farm prod
ucts are selling at top figures; SO the au-
dience appeared to agree with Mr.. Storms
that this condition of affairs was brought
about largely by the administration of Re-
publican policies.

NAPOLEON. Ind. Oct l5.-The first po-
litical meeting Of the campaign In this city
was held last night. A large crowd as
sembled at Mozart Hall. where John T.
Ellis, of Anderson. delivered an effective
speech. The prospect for Republican VIC
tory in Ripley county was never better
than at this time. The county has been
close and doubtful for many years. and
the margin between the parties very
small. Four years ago the Republicans
carried 1t and two years ago. In spite OF
local troubles, the Republican national
ticket had small plurality. The Repub-
licans are thoroughly organized and ag-
gressive. and everything points to the Sue
cess of the ticket. Guthrie, for state sem
ator, will carry the county by a safe ma
jority. The farmers are more prosperous
than ever before. Mortgages have been
paid off during the past few years, and
the corn crop this year is the best in many
wears.

THEN AND NOW.

The Carlisle banking scheme which ex-
President Cleveland fully Endorsed in
1894 was designed to transfer the function
Of bank management from the United
States to States. The repeal of the tax on
the notes of State banks, which was advo-
Gated, made it possible for such banks to
issue notes over which the United States
could have no control. National banks
would be allowed to issue IS per cent. of
their assets in notes, a part of which were
deposited with the treasury. For these
notes there was absolutely no security be-
yond the assets of the bank as certified by
its officers. If bank were in the hands of
speculative men and its assets were squan-
dered, the note holder would not be pro-
tected, and there was no protection to the
holder of the notes of State banks unless
the State required it. The Sentinel. in COM
menting on the plan, did not denounce it,
but simply made an objection because the
depositor would have no security. Here is
what the Sentinel said:
The bank notes proposed would be an
parently safe, unless, indeed, banks should
fail so rapidly to exhaust the safety
fund. and then the first lien on the entire
assets and the personal liza oilities of the
stockholders make IL impossible that the
owner of banknote could ever fail to have
it redeemed. The note holders would
be safe enough, but how about depositors?
He has nothing to look to but what is left
after the note holders are satisfied.
The Fowler bill, which so excited the Sem
tinel, has no such loose provisions as the
Carlisle proposition. The Fowler bill prac-
tically forbids the issue of over-6O per cent.
of the paid-up stock of the bank in notes
and places so high a tax on such issue that
no bank could afford to pay it. The Carlisle
proposition made the limit rs per cent.
without limit to State banks, which could
issue as the State might permit The portion
of the present banking law relative to the
security of depositors is not touched by
the Fowler bill, while under the Carlisle
| scheme, which the Sentinel seems not to
| have denounced depositors have no securi-
| ty whatever. The Journal did not advocate
| the Fowler bill simply because a House
committee had approved it. II is a prac-
| teal proposition and not a political issue
| Western bankers are generally against it.
| 1t will never become law, but it is an in
finitely safer measure than the Carlisle
proposition. There is an inconsistency in
the present shouting against a bill which
will not become law and the tacit approval
of the Carlisle plan, which would have
let loose all sorts of State bank currency
