Cweewitajr owaMlpi Before the "Democratic party resolved to resurrect the rotten wild-cat currency system of ante-bellum days, the party leaders should have I'uiieiiiunl history. Like the Democratic party itself, wild­ cat State bank paper has an unenviable record. On Oct. 8, 1858, Thompson's Bank Kote Reporter, the leading authority, gives the Democratic monetary system this picturesque tribute: The peculiar banking i n 1 paper money cur­ rency of this country is the explosive material in our commercial troubles.

The State banks had to suspend further issue of notes Mid the country was soan divested of their almost worthless pr. per. The Democracy In recommending the repeal of the tax virtually indorses the State-bank evil and declares for the restoration of the very system which the tax destroyed. Th» amity party Is committed in favor of State banks and against national currency. The establishment of State banks is bound to result in a sudden expansion of notes, which is the inevitable forerunner of calamity. Between the years 1849 and 1857 the whole circulation under the State bank system was increase! from $114.0041,000 to $215,000,000, and the number of banks increased from 850 to 1,450.

These States have 153 votes, and it will require 223 to elect. From a partisan Democratic stand-point it may be very gratifying to have 153 electoral votes solid, without any ef­ fort or the necessity ol even making a single campaign speech, but it sought to make decent Democrat ashamed when they reflect that these solid States represent a degree of political intolerance and proscription that Is utterly unknown in any other part of the country. As it looks now it is doubtful if the Democrats will carry a single Northern State. They may carry West Virginia, which would increase Cleveland's electoral vote to 159, and they may possibly get three or four electoral votes in Michigan, but the chances are against their carrying any Northern State. It would be in accordance with the eternal fitness of things to confine Cleveland's Sectoral rote to t'ie SOUd- SoUt^. .... i ::j£j . • ' 't •'"•-Vt -V. .-t "V-j tone out a currency M Ions as the tide ran that way, and to break as soon as the tide turns. There are to-day in <the country 8.686 banks;. 2,572 are State banks and most of them jvould become State banks if they could thereby secure the privilege of manufacturing money. Jn 1857 tu 1860 the banks were only 1,500 in num­ ber; yet the hotch-potch end slough of despond Into which the country's mone­ tary system fell, as deeciibeid by the Reporter in its editorial of Aug. 27, 1859, was as follows: It Is surprising how patiently the people en­ dure the losses, shaves and swindles Incident to the paper money of this country. The source of almost all the losses is to be found in the fact that from 1,500 so-called institutions are Issuers of circulating notes, many of them of doubtful solvency, and at such distant and Inaccessible points as to render brokers' offices as necessary aa taverns. * • • The people at large cannot be judges of the great variety of paper money emanating from 1,500 sources, mixed up as it is with the issues of 600 broken banks and J ,i Oil varieties of counter- felt and altered notes. If the paper currency emanated from one mill, or even if the variety was restricted to one mill in each State, the losses would be a mere Kong to what they now are. « •hirty-flve years ago, when the wealth, population, banking and settled territory were less than one-half what they are now--there was paper mon^y "emanating from 1,500 sources," and there were "4,000 varieties of counter­ feit and altered notes." What would be the condition were such u system in vogue to-day, with the present enor­ mous multiplication of to\vns and cit es and banks occupying forty-four States and extending f rom ocean to ocean? The annnal loss your after year under the Democratic wild-cat money regime of ante-bellum days was estimated by the eJitor of the Beporter on Sept. 3, 1859, to be as follows, Discounts on uncurrent money, $5,',fl0,0C0; premiums on exchange, $5,000,000; notes of broken banks,$2,OtO,000; counterfeit banknotes, $1,M00,('00. The losses to note holders alone aggregated under the wild-cat bank money regime $195,000,000; and these losses fell most heavily on farm­ ers, mechanics, and day laborers, who were not so situated as to take advant­ age of monetary fluctuations. The beautiful condition of this "red- dog," "stump-tall" and "conflagration" currency of halcyon Demociatic days is shown by the table of discounts. Each of the 1,500 kinds of wild-cat money ?lad its own discount. On Nov. 14, 1858, ac­ cording to "Thompson's Beporter," the note) of ail banks in Arkansas, Florida, Iowa and Mississippi were "of doubtful and only liojiinai value;" of the Wis­ consin banks, 9 to 50 per cent, discount; of Virginia banks, 9 to 25 per <;ent.; of Georgia, 31 at 6 per cent, discount »nd 13 worthless; of Alabama, 2 at 7 per cent, discount and 5 worthless; of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, t> to 50 per < ent. dis'onnt; and so on through the Ohapter. " Another beauty of the application of the State's rights doeirine to the cur­ rency is illustrated in the way one State would rule against another State's pa­ per. New York fixed its own discounts on the notes of every bank in the coun­ try, and contracted and expanded the oountry's currency at will. The bank­ ers of a State would assemble in con­ vention and fix discounts on another State's notes, or retaliate on a similar atta k on their own notes. The bank­ ers of Indiana, for example, met in April, 1859, and declared a boycott on the issues of all Illinois and Wisconsin banks, and all Indiana voters yrho held bank notes from those States found in their hands to much useless paper. ' It was a heyday of prosperity for the counterfeiter, the spe u ator, the sha­ ver, and the irresponsible bank, but a day of woe for the farmer, mechanic, the family savings and legitimate busi­ ness. And that is the system which the Democratic party is pledged to reinstate if placed in power. Business men and bankers :the coun­ try over are astonished and alarmed at the attitude of the Democratic party on the currency question. As election day draws nigh the feeling of. deep concern whi h has been experienced by one and all for the past three months becomes more and more manifest. Democratic success is not considered probable, but the possibilities brought about by the party's radical stand agaiast a national currency has caused a perceptible un­ easiness on all sides. The particular paragraph in the Democratic platform which is causing the alarm reads aa follows: SEC. a. We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues be re­ pealed. The tax referred to was laid by the Bepubliean Congress of 18t»5-lU> and was intended to stamp out the State-bank system which tiad proven so ruinous to the oooatry i»iy a lew years before. decisive influence in the canvass Any­ where. In Vermont an i Maine the Pro­ hibitionists polled fewer votes than they have been doing in off years, while in Arkansas, Florida and Georgia the Populists were practically non-existent. The Prohibitionist Presidential candi­ date is not likely to obtain a* many votes as Fisk received in 1888, while the party will not carry a single State or elect a single Congressman. The out­ look for the Populists is not much brighter. They may choose half a dozen men to Congress, but their con­ quests will stop here. No Governor will be secured by them, and their chances for the electlen of Presiden­ tial electors, even in Nevada, where their prospects are brightest, are far from flattering. Kansas and Minnesota, where they have been shouting loudest and most persistently, are going against them. Under the stress of the Presi­ dential oanipaign their strength is fail* ing off everywhere. Three months ago they had a fair chance, as the Democracy conceded, to make a close contest in the Southern States which have re­ cently voted, but their membership steadily declined,, and on elect on day they had scarcely a corporal's guard left, A vote, therefore, for any of the minor M*. BLAINE SPEAKS BllNMtotM Republican Principles la Mia 9mm and Etoqaent Way. Janes G. Blaine has delivered Us testimony in commendation of the Har­ rison administration and has set forth in his usual strong and incisive manner the reasons why there should be no change. The occasion was his visit to Ophir Farm, and the talk to the peopi* White Plains was only ten minutes in length, but ten minutes of James G. Blaine are of more account than ten hours of averago speakers. The pros­ perity of the country resulting from the protective policy of the government wu the burden of his little speech, and its application to New York was most forci­ ble. Mr. Blaine said: Fellow-citiiens of New York, I should be Churlish indeed If I did not respond to yonr ?U y°u h*v? come several miles to thia beautiful home of Mr. Reid on a pleasant Oo- tober evening. At the same time I am not making speeches in the canvass for reasons which are well known to my friends and which have no connection whatever with politics.

An\ t'linir that would cripple that great interest would cripple the metropo­ lis seriously and t© a very hurtful extent. More men in New York get their living from pursuits protected by the tariff than from any other source.

Take Ohio, take Michigan, take Indiana, take Illinois, and the produots of manufactures are greater in pecuniary amount than the products of agriculture In these four great agricultural States.

Harrison loses to Weaver the seventeen votes of Kansas, Colorado and Nevada, | which are sometimes classed as doubt- j ful, Cleveland would still laek twenty- j claht votes of enough to elect him. j The Democratic candidate must carry I all the States he carried in 1888 and New York and Indiana besides, to win, for that would give him 226 votes, or three more than enough, without any votes from Michigan. If he gets New York and Indiana and live votes from Michigan and loses Connecticut he will still have 225 votes, or two more than he needs, but if the Republicans carry West Virginia, as they are almost oer- 1ain to do, Gen. Harrison will have 225 votes and Cleveland but 219. Conservative Democratic hores are based on carrying the solid South and New York, Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey, and all ialk about doubtful States la the West comes from rain tow- chasers within the party. They will struggle for as many votes in the North as possible, while at the same time they will secretly encourage the People's party in close Western States. If they lose Indiana and carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with the solid South, they would lack nine votes of a majority, but if Weaver should carry Kansas, Harrison's vote would be re­ duced to 218, the election would be thrown into the Democratic House and Cleveland would be chosen. The Re­ publicans can, however, lose Kansas and carry West Virginia, and still have enough voles to elect.

THE State Board of Health is seriously concerned about the increasing pres­ ence of diphtheria in many localities in the State. Schools are being closed on acc ount of it, and a condition bordering on panic exists in some places. Inves­ tigations by the Secretary and by sani­ tary inspectors of the board reveal in every instance where the disease has gained a foothold that it is due to grave sanitary defects in the locality and failure to enforce the only known methods of controlling and sup­ pressing this dPtuest'c pestilence, to wit: isolation and disinfection. The Board calls attention* to the fact that diphtheria is spread not only by expos­ ure of the well to those suffering Irom the disease but also through clothing and other ari icles that have come ia contact with the sick. In 100 recent outbreaks in different localities where isolation and disinfection were enforced the total number of cases was limited to 286, and the total number of deaths was sixty-six. In 100 outbreaks occur­ ring during the same time where isola- t'on and disinfection were neglected the total number of cases was over 1,600, and the total of deaths wa* 323. Isola­ tion and disinfection reduced the total number of cases to about one-sixth and the total number of deaths to one-fifth.
