sm i~ conslistnt with our platform, as theiud d. i ournal will prove, and so far as ItDrggslehave never givon a vote to which theijs aem mocracy has taken exception.

TI• S OCURRENCY PLANK.ENG~•C scrutiny will show that the princi-

;ture of the currency plank is the pro-Ssubstitution of gr'mlnbacks for nationalnotes. The Republican leaders favor a

IStlilWy opposite courseo-the repllacing ofbacks with national bank notes. In

GOVERNMENT NOTES VS. BANK NOTES.

For several reasons I regard the former aspreferable.

1. National bank currency means the In-definite perpetuation of the national debt;that currency is founded upon the debt-forthe debt is the security for their issues, andwhen the debt is paid, those issues must befinally retired, the privilege of re-issue ceas-ing. Hence, to perpetuate their issues theymust perpetuate the debt, and they will invi-tably do so if they can, and the influence ex-erted by more than two thousand banking in-

tlitutions, concentrated on one point, will beSexceediag powerful.

I do not believe that a national debt is anational blessing; I believe it to be a nationalcurse. Aside from its corrupting influences,the drain upon the people's resources to payinterest is fearful, especially when a largeportion of the debt is held abroad. In a shorttime the interest payments exceed the debt

rineipal, with no cessation of the drain.eavy taxation results necessarily, and op-

pressive taxation is the worst foe to nationalndustry and prosperity. It is true, we can-

not at once or speedily pay the debt, but weought not to place obstacles in the way of itspay~mex. Npational bank notes are an ob-

,. f a;= , are objectionable. Your plat-- te s "gradual extinction or the

ix0 debt "-and thus favoring its honestbent; ecessarily condemns the bank noteei•m, ih tends to perpetuate it.

(IV)CO l TION OF THE MONEY POWER.2. The national bank system tends to com-ane, concentrate and intensify the money

ytvi&. Against this power I shall bring no?iclamation; I seek not to excite passion orpr judice, but to reason fairly and haveiyou to judge, fairly; and I do so reasonwhen I say that the Republican party,'throughout the time of its unlimited sway_ favored in its national legislation the moneyed

St, thereby adding greatly to the peo-plrE' burdens; .that the purchasing power ofmoney has greatly i.creased, while that ofeverything else has remained stationar y orgrown esas; that the national bank system"onfers special and exclusive privileges uponthe banks; that it combines more than two-thousand institutions-and their number isconstantly increasing-in a common purpose,and with a common interest to perpetuatetheir power and privileges; that these insti-tutions are scattered all over the country,and are thus enabled to influence Legisla-tren , Congresses and thousands of voters; and

btht in view of these facts, it is no injustice,butthe expression of a wise anxiety. to sug-gest that such a system is fraught with dan-ger to the prosperity of the people and the

oit of their government. If, in the timetJjaekson, a national bank with $35,000,000 of

pitaI, and only a few branches, was danger-swhat shall be said of a combination of

, with ramifications in every section ofcountry, wielding to-day $500,000,000 of

tg time being, ruin the country; ibut to assume

a that it would do so, would be to condemn ourhe- form of government.

us THE D)IFFICULTY SQUARELY MET.) lint our platform squarely meets this dilli-

Iulty, condemning either "kiting" or contrac-p- tion, and demanding"that the amtiountoif such

S nssues (greenbacks) be so regulated by legisla-tion or organic law is to give the, peoplei an

I assurance of stability in volume of currency,he and consequent stability of value," mnlt olp-poses the demonetization of the preciousmetals. Canl anything be more consiervativethan this? Can any reasonable lmn object toa policy preserving gold and silver, and do-'0- mandiing stability in currency volume and

itl value, greater than has ever yet been ob-Sit tained?of Our platform has been denounced by menIn who never read it, and by others whose inter-

he ests or prejudices letad them to misrepresently it. In answer, I ask you to read and study it.in Its language is too plain to be misunderstood011 by a candid man, and the character of theis- cominttee that reported, and the conventionof that adopted it, ls-iu1icient to Thicrid t from

the charge of deception. It isAN HONEST PLATFORM

--nd means just what it says. It means op-position to monopoly, to special privileges, tocontraction, to demoneotization of the metals,to wastieful expenditure and to a never end-

as lug public debt.It means equal rights and privileges, ann- honest and stable currency, strict economy,

it; lighter taxes and faithful payment of theor Dublic debt. Does not sanction irreligion orId communism, but recognizes the dignity ofbe labor, and sympathizes with the laboring mans- in his toll and rivattion. It asserts the prin-ey ciples upon whl ch the government was found-11- ed, and which are essential to its usefulness

x- and perpetuity. It promotes fraternal feel-n- uing and denounces sectionalism. In a word,be it is an honest platform for honest men, a pa-

triotic platform for patriots.a I think I have given you sufficient reason

al why there should be a change in our Federal)s, administration. If our financial policy be

by correct, that of the Republican party is wrong,e and that party should cease to rule.

rt But there are other reasons for a change,bt and to some of them I would call your atten-

n. tion. It is not necessary to assert that the- measures of the Republican party have beenal bad; it is sufficient to estimate from the gene-n- ral result,whether good government and pros-ve perity or the reverse have attended their rule.

ts For five years this country has suffered asb- perhaps no other country ever did suffer,t- from depression in every branch of business,

oe in every industrial occupation. Evorybodyt has been affected. There have been tens if

to not hundreds of thousands of bankruptcies,

with aggregate losses which almost defycomputation. It is estimated that millions oflaborers have been thrown out of employ-n- ment or reduced to half time and wages. The

9y extent of the evil has no parallel in the his-0o tory of this, if indeed it has in the historyir of any country. In a country with a popula-(e tionl.of only eleven persons to the square mile

In there have been, and are yet, thousands des-y, titute of bread.

S A single interest,

THE MONEYED INTEREST,has liourished, and yet flourishes, and it is tobe remembered that it is precisely that in-terest which has received the fostering careof Republican legislation. So far as this de-plorable state of things results from badlegislation, or the omission.of wise legislation,the Republican party is responsible. Formore than fourteen years it had uncontrolledpower in every department .of the govern-ment; for the past three years, by its con-tinued holding of the presidency and the Sen-ate, it has been able to negative any meas-ure of relief proposed by a. DemocraticHouse of Representatives. It is but justice,then, to say to our Republican rulers, it istime, high time, that you surrender the reinsof government.

NO CONTEACTION.It is a common assertion that there has been

no contraction of the currency, and but a fewmonths since the chairman of the SenateFinance Committee asserted that the chargeof contraction was a "contraction of thetruth." Let us see.

'Brltlsh Protectorate of Asiatic Turkey..James Bryce from the summit of Mount

Ararat had the largest prospect that evertilled an English eye in Western Asia; andfrom his library in London, owing to histravels in the East, he now commands a com-prehensive view of the scheme for a secondAsiatic Empire. In a letter to the Daily Newshe lays bare the hollownes of the assumptionupon which the British protectorate Is based.The first assumption is that protection of Ar-menia and Mesopotamia is essential to thesafety of India. He contends that the roadfrom Russia to India does not lie through Ar-menia, but through Northern Persia, orthrough Turkestan. The possession by us-sla of the whole Euphrates Valley from Erze-roum to the Persian Gulf would not bring hera yard nearer to India, nor place Persia more •absolutely at her mercy than it now is. Shecommands the Caspian and if she wishes tomarch to Peshawur will start from the south-east corner of that sea. The second assump-tion is that Russia seeks to annex territoriesin Western Asia. Mr. Bryce shows that theprobabilities are all against it. The countryis poorly and thinly populated; and the in-habitants, whether Mahammedan or Chris-tian are alien to Russia in blood, speech andfaith. Besides if the lust of territory for thesake of territory possesses the Czars they cangratify it to their hearts' content in Easternand Central Asia, where there is nothing tointerfere with them. The conclusion is thatPersia is a more vulnerable point than Ar-menia, and that if it was really necessary toprevent any province of Turkey from fallinginto Russian hands, England could have donethat far better by acting whenthetime camsthan by absolutely pledging herseif i ad-vance.
