Democracy and Contraction.
We learn that there are those who
imagine that ihe Democratic platform,
as adopted at Erie, means wild infla
tion. Undoubtedly the speech ot Mr.
Hughes, and the general intent of his
coiniuiuee, was Ui create the impres
sion that the Ohio platform was sub
stantially re-enacted, and that, there
fore, full inflation is the doctrine
taught. '1 hat it was their iutont to
create this impression, wo fully be
lieve; but a?de from the contradicto
ry features of the pisiform, it really
is strongly contraction, iu ?.,,B ""'y
part that N really positive. The de
mand is made, after accusing, falsely,
the Republican party with having con
tracted the currency, under the force
resumption act, that the unlional bank
' ing system be abolished, ami State
banks substituted. To accomplish
this, the national banks must close up
their affairs, go into liquidation, and
the national banking laws bit repealed.
The national banks of the country have
ioaned an aggregate of about $1,400,
000,000, all of which must be called
in, if they go iu'o liquidation. To
meet this vast demand would require
the payment, by debtors of all classes,
of the full amount loaned.
Really, notes, checks, drafts aud
other forms of business paper, consti--titute
a very large part of active cir
dilating medium of tho country.
These, for the time being, would be
blotted out under the arrangement
proposed. Uutii the Stales legislate,
and bauks are organized under them,
the notes and oilier paper that are
ow ue1 iu the Natioual Banks must
be out of use. Hence there won,! be
a practical contraction to the amount
of $1,400,000,000 effected, merely to
change our banking system. ' We have
no hesitancy in declaring 'that this
measure wou d entirely pi out rate the
country, and destroy business and par
alvze labor. It could nure no other
possible effect. There in no imagina
ble way in which to reach the change
proposed than that mentioned. Hence
it amounts to a deliberate proposition
to prostrate the industries of the coun
try, by at least contracting the indebt
edness of the people, to the extent
named. And this is the only proposi
tion sufficiently in accord with the old
ti me views of the Democratic party to be
regarded us sincere and earnestly held.
It has been their policy, through 'a'l
Abe history of the parly, and particu
larly from the days of Jackson on, to
'aAor the management of all fiduciary
questions, through State laws, and
-.banks established under them. Hence
it hi proposition is probably sincere.
The direct contraction of National
bank circulation, under the plan pro
posed, will be $357,000,000. It is
proposed, however, tn meet this by eu
larging to this extent, the volume of
legal lende.ru. Vet thi ciruld not be
ho promptly accomplished as to at
once put the new currency into the
regular channels of trade. Legal
tender are not given away, and unless
the Government were to pay. them out
for its on current expeuses, or they
wcro bought by the sale of honda to
to the Government, there is uo meth
od of getting them into circulation.
That there would bo delay, nixl that
they would culy gradually find their
way into circulation, canuot be doubt
ed. We therefore may accept it as
Kuc, that lite eiily JTect of giving
their resolution validity, will be lk
utter mid absolute probation of in
dustry und business, ut least for a
time. Wttru tW policy foreshadowed,
its effect would -be entirely like than
which we think attends the announce
ment of resumption in 187'J. the
threat of resumption, at a given time,
it ail the harm contained in (imt act,
and the threat to contract, at a whole
tulo rate, ns propotud in tho Demo
cratic pluiXurm, will exert the same
inrliiL nee, in n much greater degree.
Thus while nitwit and opprobrium
hurled at tLc Republican party, nil

currency, a proposition is put forward,
which cuii have no other possible re

whatever. We have had an expert.
ence in State hanks. They have been
tho m.t unfortunate institutions we
have hud. In tunes of confidence,
tbey inflated the currency to the full
extent of their ability ; and when call
ed upon to redeem their notes, immedi
ately went to the wall. The people
have had a bitter and sorrowful ex
perience with Slate banks, and want
uo more of them. Yet the Democracy,
infatuated with the past, cling to the
idea of restoring the old State bunk
system once more. A bcatiiilul sys
tem of finance they .would give nsl
They would have an unlimited issue
of those unconstitutional legal ten
ders; then State banks to dispense
them, a mixture of National and
Slate financial administration, which
would be apt to harmonize beautifully.
Commend us to Democratic financiers.
They are able to run the entire gamut
ot irregularity; and to gather up, id
one crudo mass, all the impracticable
aurt absurd ideas that are floating in
crazy brains. We have a sample tf
this in the Democntic platform, which
boxes the compass nl huancial crudi
ties. Ex.
The Politioal Situation.
The careful llarrishiirir correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Pret has
gathered" from gentlemen from differ
ent portions of the State, who are
there in pursuit of their business, some
facts bearing ou the present canvass,
which are of special interest, and
which may be rtlieit on as correct.
There is not a single Republican, he
says, competent to express an opinion
of tho situation, who believes that the
Democracy have any prospect of sue
cess. It is also a singular fact that
the majority of the men who have le
ported, agree as to their statement of
the Democratic plan of conducting
the campaign, which is to encourage
as many Kepublicans as pcssihle to
vote the Prohibitory ticket, and to
work upon the sympathies of Kepubli
can GrLZ-r 10 c"nv'nce them that it
is their duty to suppor! the Democrat
ic party becauso it is thu only reliable
free-trauo organization in the country.
The financial question is entirely lost
sight of by the intriguers ; all questions
relating to the administration of Slate
affairs, to reforms under the new Con- i
etitution, are ignored, and the cam
p ign reduced to the jugglery describ
ed. There is do fair discussion of the
real issues involved, which is one ot
the reasous why Mr. Pershing is not
allowed to go among the people, as
Gov. Hartranft goes, to meet them
face to face. The object is to wiu hv
a trick, to wrest a victory from the
infatuation of men insanely pursuing
impracticable objects ; and then when
seated in power, the leader, of the
Democratic party will with impunity
restore the Government to a condi
tion not only opposed to the organic
law, but directly in opposition to the
will of the majority, if tairly taken.
Fortunately the great mass of the
people seem to understand the objects
of the Democratic leadtrs, and the
elements which they calculated woulit
fall spontaneously withiu their cou
trol are above and beyond their reach.
The tiews from the counties which
voted in favor of the local option is
unmistakable. Iu those counties the
Democracy started with the cry that
it was the duty of the Prohibitionists
to vot for Brown and Pooypacker,
and it is more than likely a very large
uumber of the Republicans who be
long to the order of Good Templars
would have done go had not the Dem
ocratic leaders manifested so much
anxiety for them to deseit their party.
The fact that the Democratic press
championed the prohibition cause has
thwarted their uwu hypocrisy and de
feated the infatuation of the men who
pi I ted to mislead honest prohibition
ists. The veil has been lifted from
tho eyes of theso people, and t-ey
uow see where they aland, t'hey see
thai their cause, its moral force aud
sacred importauce, were never in as
much danger as they are now, under
the manipulation of thr Democratic
lenders, who have taken the spirit of
prohibition to the mountain top, offer
ing it a fair realm if it vill only fall
down to worship it in the shape of a
vote to defeat the Republican party,
which is the true fritnd of reform.
But the trick has been exposed, and
the politico-temperance ticket, which
is revealed as an auxiliary of the Dem
ocratic party, will not secure one out
of every twenty Republicans who are
prohilmiouists. livery day of dis
cussion increases the light ou these
facts, and every man who goes into
the field of actiou returns with the
same story, to-wit: That the Repub
lican party is a unit, aud the Demo-
cm tie leaders, in their efforts to do
ceivo the people and form nutsideenm
biualions, have entangled themselves
iu meshes from which they cannot
tape without necessarily fatal wounds.
Such is the situation, as intelligent
Republicans view it. Gazelle.
