THE OITIZE3ST FRIDAY. DECEMBER I. 1893 KaMr*4 at »* »■«•* " " cU " "» tMf wiLLii* C. rtour. Siydttem new members were admit ted to membership at the meeting of the Lincoln League last Friday evening. The League now numbers two hundred and fifty. A committee was appointed to com plete tho Constitution, so that it can be printed and distributed among the Repub licans of the comity; as it i* desired that every Republican in the county become a member. Levi M. Wise made the speech of the evening. He summarized the results of the late election and its meaning; and gave a short history of tariff legislation. He tru heartily applauded. The New Tariff Bill. Congress meets in regular session next Monday, and one of the first things it will tackle will be the new tariff bill, pre! pared by the Wilson Ways and Means Committee. It was made public Monday, and it makes reductions in everything. Few specific duties will be left if the bill becomes a law, while almost everything on which duties are placed will come in ad valorem. The free list is greatly en larged, and inoludes agricultural imple ments, wool, coal, lumber, salt and iron ore. Pig-iron, steel-rails, glass and pot tery are given a heavy cut. It is estimated that the bill will reduce the national revenues about fifty millions which is to be made up by an increase in internal revenue taxes, and by an income tax. The bill has some inconsistencies one oi which is pointed out by the Dispatch as follows: "Hoop iron ia scheduled at 30 per cent duty, which sufficiently illustrates the committee's idea of the amount of labor m that highly finished product. But cotton ties, which are hoop iron with wme extra labor, are not given a higher ad valorum rate. They are not given the same rate; they are not even given a reduced rate. The solid South i? the sole user of cotton ties; and while 30 per cent is recognized as the just rate for the people who use hoop iron to pay, the section which furnishes a solid electoral vote and a nearly solid Congressional one has got to have its cot ton ties free of duty. The Pittsburg Times denounces the bill as vicious "in its general adoption of ad volorem instead of specific duties, whereby a great opportunity is given to the foreign shipper to defraud our Government of its proper revenue and our workingmen ol "even the nominal protection ostensibly Ex tended. It is vicious in placing the duties on many important articles of manufacture much below the limit which would have placed our w«ge workers on an equality with those abroad. It is vicious because, while depriving at one fell swoop a great and growing industry like tin plate of Sracucally all protection, it carefully cod les and protects the Louisiana sugar grower. It is vicious because it places on the free list wo«l, coal, lumber, salt and iron ore under the false plea that they are raw materials, thereby depriving thousands upon thousands of our people engaged in their production of their occupation. It is especially viciouß because its one great and certain effect would be, if it became a law, to throw hundreds of thousands of work ingmen out of employment and bring the wages of tna balance down to depths an known .n thii country for more than a third of a ce.itury." Ths Vtzette says:— "The bill will not go through congress witb a whirl if Republicans can prevent it, and they will probably manage to get a fair hearing. By the terms of the bill it is to take effect March 1, 1894, except the woolen schedule, which is extended so as to begin July 1. 1894. The purpose is to have the bill well out of thtf way and in operation before the time when the con gressional nominations will have to engage the public attention. If the bill reaches the president before the first oi March con gress will have to break all previous records in tariff legislation." Congressman DaUell was interviewed Monday evening and said in part:— "Of course, under existing circum stances, it is impossible for roe to express any opinion except in a general way as U) the character of the bill. I notice that it is entitled 'A bill tt> reduce taxation, to provide revenue,' etc. As the effect of the bill, according to its friends, will be to rednoe the revenues about $ >0,000,000 peT annum, it strikes me that it ought to be called 'a bill to reduce the revenue ' How in the world a bill that strikes off $50,000,000 of revenue can reduce taxation is one of those things that only a Bourbon Democrat can find out. "This is certainly not a tariff bill 'for revenue only,' but a tariff bill only not for revenue. While I cannot say any thing very definite as to its special provis ions, there are some general characteris tics that impress one at first sight. It pro poses the miserable ad valorem system of revenue duties which invariably results in a cheating of the government and haa been condemned by every secretary of the treas ury, Democrat and Republican alike, from time immemorial. "Its free list is a wondsr, including as it does coal, coke, iron ore, gold, silver, lead, copper, nickel, tin, salt, lumber, wool, binding twine, cotton ties and various other socalled raw materials too numerous to mention. It contains also a sweeping provison that raw materials not mentioned shall bear an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent, and all manulactured materials not mentioned an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. This last provision might very well be termed a provision for the en couragement of litigation. If I am Lot very much mistaken, it will give rise to lawsuits without number." Gov. MoKinley, said in part:— "I have read the accounts in the even ing papers of its substance and I notice one terribly bad thing about it; a thing which should defeat it in its entirety and alone. It is the feature that the duties are imposed on an ad valorem basis. This leaves wide open the door for fraud and deception, and renders almost inevitable the undervalua tion of invoices. "Tariff bills of late years have been based altogether on specific duties—so much a ton or so much a yard, you under stand. No less a statesman than Henry Clay onc» said, I remember hearing, that if he conld be allowed to fix the value of the article he would not care who fixed the duty or at wha» rate. President Cleve land's first secretary of the treasury, Mr Manning, made a most exhaustive study of the question and reported that the ad val orem system was wrong and pernicious. Yes, that is the weak point in the new tariff bill." The Philadelphia I'resx says: The Wil- Bon tariff bill will arouse and alarm the oountry. It is much more extreme and dras tic in its destructive features than has been expected. It far outruns conservative anticipations, and comes up to the most • radical demands of tbe most pronounced enemies of Protection. No such bold ap proach to free trade has over before taken legislative form in this country. It goes beyond the Mills bill in its sweeping cuts. No wouder it is hailed with delight in Eng land as a deadly blow at American indus tries and as the open door for foreign products. THE Democratic brethern are already kicking at a lively rate against the pro posed new tariff cuts contemplated by the Committee of Ways and Means Those from Louisiana want the duty restored on sngar or the bounty left slone. West Vir ginia wants coal and iron ore protected; in South Carolina the men who raise Sea Island cotton want a good high duty on their product, and tbe planters of Virginia are making a loud outcry against any reduction of the duty of tobacco. In short they all want the other fellow to bear the brunt of the proposed "Reform." Pro tection may bo unconstitutional in tbe abstract , bat it is all right when it bene fits them. CHICAGO has a case of wholesale jury bribery on hands. THK total official vote in Ksnsas this year, with only two small counties tli hear • from, is 248,134, as against 322,857 in 1892. Of this vote the Kepublicaus cast 125,517, the Populists 94,370, and tbe Democrats 27,747. The Republican plurality is 30, tij aud majority over all 2,900. • No State in the Union has go suddenly ir.d so widely fluctuated from one point on the political compare to another as has Ohio. Going back as far as 1872, the re cord shows how the pendnlom swung. That year Grant had 80,563 plurality. The next year a Democrat, 'William Allen, was elected Governor. 1n.1875 Rutherford B. Hayes wasi&lled from retirement to run a third time for Governor, and defeated Al len by 5,254 votes. The victory nominat ed him for tfie Presidency, and in 18i6 he ran the figures up to 7,517. But in 18i < a Democratic Governor was elected by 22,520. Two years later Charles Foster was made Governor by 17,129 plurality, and in 1880 Jame* A. Garfield beat Hancock 32,227 votes. Foster was re-elected in 1881 by 24,309, but in 1882 the Democrats carried the State by 19,119 and followed up this victory in 1883 bv giving Hoadley 12,699 more votes than Foraker could muster. In 1884 James G. Blaine redeemed the State, his plurality over Cleveland being 31,802 Foraker tried again in 18f 'and 1888 and was successful by plural'„ es of 17,7811 and 23,329, and in 1888 Harrison had 19,599 over Cleveland: In 1889 Fora ker made his fourth run for Governor and was defeated by Campbell, Democrat, whose plurality was 10,871, but in 1890 the Republican candidate lor Secretary of State had a plurality almost the same, it being 10,970. Then came the battle royal between Campbell and McKinley in 1891. Protection's champion down id Foraker s conqueror by 21,511 voter. But in lS92(Ohio went off on a political stangent that dis mayed Republicans. One Democratic elector beat the second highest Republican 1,409, and the remaining 22 Republicans had pluralities averagine 1,072. The un certainty of how Ohio would go has made its voter the most intelligent to be found in the United States. With the advent of each campaign the best political speak ers of the country have been thrown into that great State. Every great political is sue has been talked into the Ohio man year after year until he has become thoroughly conversant with it. Even the smallest hamlets over there have their political meetings with addresses from the ablest stump speakers in the land. The joint de bate prevails there, and Democratic speakers are pitted againßt the Republi can orators at the same meeting. Any misstatements made are promptly refuted by the opposition, and the Ohio man has an opportunity to get cold facts, devoid of any exaggeration. The voter has been talked to by both sides so long that be cannot be fooled, because he himselt knows when ho is hearing and when he is not bearing tacts. Then where could you find a more intelligent political juror than the Ohio man T He is more competent through perfect familiarity, to pass upon great po litical issues than the average voter of any other State in the Union, therefore bis verdict is likely to be a sound one in the premises. The only great issue in the recent campaign in Ohio was the tariff. Governor MoKinley is the author of the tariff bill, and the acknowledged loading apostle of Protection in the United States; Neal, bis opponent, was the author of the Free Trade plank in the National Demo cratic platform. The fight was made di rect on the tariff issue. What was the verdict of tbe Ohio jury t McKinley's plurality was something like 81,000—15,000 more votes than were ever cast for one candidate in that State. Tbe Ohio man had experienced the "change" produced under the auspiices of the Democratic party, and a few months of it had given nim all he wanted and more, too. Ohio is the second iron producing State in the Union. In pig iron output, after Pennsyl vania, she is nnapproacbed save by Ala bama and Illinois, and in rolling mill pro duct, after Pennsylvania, no State but Il linois produces more than the merest frac tion of her total. Her prosperity depends largely upon the prosperity of her furnaces and mills and of tbe hundreds of shops and foundreis tbey supply. The Ohio men bad seen that threatened Democratic tariff re duction had paralyzed the industries of bis State and he called a halt. Senator Sher man, after the election, in speaking of the result in the State of Ohio, well said: "It was good, very good. It was the protest nf the hungry workingmen against hard times brought on by the fear of a tariff revision. It was the voice ol the people protesting against the destruction of the great Ameri can protective system. When I went home and saw the condition of things in manufacturing and industrial circles, I was prepared for jast such a landaide. Busi ness men aad manufacturers, like prudent men, when they saw the storm approach, took in their sails; they contracted their efforts and run half and quarter time. The silver question had nothing, in my opinion to do with the result in Ohio. Both par ties were in harmony on that question and in favor of the suspension of silver pur chases. The result in Pennsylvania, Mas sachusetts and Ohio, in all manufacturing places, was a solemn protest against any interference with the present tariff system." Surely, Ohio's emphatic protest should warn the Democratic party from tariff tinkering.—New Castle Guariliw». Twelve thousand people are reported to have perished by an earthquake in Persia.

Horr in New York Tribune.) On the 10th day of May, 1775, soon after the battle of Lexington, the Conti nental Congress of the Colonies then in re volt against the Government of Great Brittain made arrangements to issue "Con tinental paper money." In June, 1775, $2,000 000 of such money was put in circu lation. This amount was increased from month to month and year to year during the war of the American Revolution until $300,000,000 had been issued. It is difficult for us to conceive what an immense sum that was for a young and struggling nation of less than 4,000,000 people. A depreciation of these issues took place in spite of the law which made them a legal-tender in payment of debts. It continued until they became absolutely worthless. None of them have ever been redeemed. The loss of this enormous sum fell upon the individuals in the United States who happened to hold the bills when they ceased to circulate. The com mon expression "Not worth a Continental' had its origin at that time. The Conti nental money had behind it the same "fiat of tbe Government" that our "greenbacks" have to-day. What made that money worthless was the failure of the Govern ment to redeem it when presented for pay ment. In the spring of 1780 a banking associa t oa was formed in the city of Philadelphia without any charter, and was the starting point for a National bank. On May 17, 1781, Robert Morris, who was then Super intendent of Finance for our young Repub lic, presented to Congress a plan for organ izing the Bank of North America at Phila delphia with a capital stock of $400,000. On May 26 Congress passed a resolution approving the plan. In the ' December following Congress passed an ordinance to incorporate the subscribers to the "Bank of North America." April 18, 1782, the State of Pennsylvania granted a charter to the same bank. Thus tbe association first formed became an organized, incorporated aad chartered bank. The "Bant of North America" com menced business in January, 1782, the Government having subscribed for $254,- 000 of iu stock. It is still doing business to-day. That bank has always done a gen eral banking business, but the Govern ment sold its stock at an early day, and the bank has never been known or desig nated as a "Bank of the United States." Its last charter was granted in 1854. It was afterwards changed into a National bank, and is now a prosperous institution, with a capital of $1,000,000 and a mrplus of more than that amount. On February 7, 1784, the State of Mas sachusetts incorporated the Bank of Mas sachusetts, located at Boston. March 21, 1791, the State of New York chartered the Bank of New York, located in the city of New York. This institution had been doing business for some time previous as an association, under articles drawn by Alexander Hamilton, who was one of its first directors. Both of the institutions above named are still in existance, and doing a profitable business as National banks. The first "Bank of the United States" was proposed by Alexander Hamilton in 1790 in his report as Secretary. The meai ure received vigorous opposition, but it passed the Senate January 20, 1791, and the Honse in February, 1791. The capi tal stock of that bank was fixed at $lO,- 000,000, divided into' 25,000 shares of S4OO each. The subscriptions, except those of the United States, were made payable,ono fourth in coin and three-fourths in 6 per cent United States bonds. The bank was prohibited by its charter from loaning to the United States a sum greater than SIOO,OOO, and to any State more than $50,- 000. It was forbidden to loan to any for eign prince or State any money whatever, except after the passage of a special law It had power to issue bank notes, and all bills of the bank were made payable in coin and were to be received in payment of all dues to the United States. Tbe Government was authorized to subscribe for $2,000,000 of its stock. Tho charter was to continue to 1811, and the Govern ment was to establish no other banks dur ing the existan ce of this one. The bank was located in the city of Pniladelphia, did a general banking busi ness, and was managed by a board of twenty-five directors elected by the stock holders, The dividends of the bank weie regularly from 8 to 10 per cent each year. Congress refused to renew the charter at the time of its expiration, and the bank was compelled to wind up its affair*. Its depositors were paid in lull; its stockhold ers were also paid in full, and received a premium of 8i per nent on the final settle ment. The Government had previously sold its stock at a large premium. After the war of 1812 Alexander J. Dal las, who was Secretary of the Treasury in 1814 recommended, in au able report, the establishment ot another "Bank of the United States.'' In January, 1815, a bill was passed for that purpose, but was veto ed by President Madison. On April 3, 1816, another bill was passed and was then signed by the President. It incorporated an institution under this title: "The President, Directors and Company of the Bank of the United States." The cap ital stock ot this second Bar.k of the Uni ted States was fixed at $35,000,000, divid ed into 350,000 shares of SIOO each, $7,- 000,000 of this stock to be subscribed by the United States. The remaining $28,- 000,000 was to be subscribed by individuals, companies or corporations. Its charter wan to run until March 3, 183 G. At the ex piration of its charter Congress refused to renew it; but a charter was granted by the State of Pennsylvania, giving the bank power to do business in that State. It should be mentioued that tbe Government had sold its stock, and the books of the Treasury Department show a profit to the Government by the transaction of $6,930,- 167, On October 9, 1830, this bank sus pended specie payments, as did most ot the other banks of the country. It was in a little while compelled to wind up its busi ness, and did so at a great loss It paid its depositors and bills issued in full, but its stockholders never received anything. They lost every dollar they had invested iu the enterprise. No other "Hank of the United States'' lias Iteen organized since the lailure of tbe second one of that name in 1830. That bank did a general banking business and was managed by a board ot directors elected by its stockholders, precisely the same as are all other banking institutions It issued bills and redeemed them in coin on presentation Tlie tirst bank of the United States grew out of the War of the Kevolution;the second one grew out of the War of 1812; and tbe present National banks of the United States grew ont of the necessities of the War of the Rebellion. During tbe late Civil War the National Government was again compelled to resort to the issue of Treasury notes and paper monjy which are known as "greenbacks." Suet paper money was issued to meet the extre.ne necessities of the Government; and dunng the war au amount approximat ing $500,000,000 was issued and was in circulation at one time. The entire Na tion suspended specie payments early iu the war, and the business ol this country, except tbe payment of customs, was done with paper currency. This paper money fluctuated in price from time to time dur ing tbe war; at one time specie going to a premium of 287 cents on the dollar. When Salmon P. Chase was Sectetary of the Treasury he recommended to Con gress the establishment of National banks upon a plan proposed and advocated large ly by E. (t. Spaulding, a member of Con gress from Buffalo, N. Y. These National banks wero, however, entirely different from either of the old banks of the United Slates. Under the new plan tbo United State 3 Government took no stock what ever in any of these institutions. Five or more persons, anywhere in the United States, could, and cau, form a bank under that law, it able to comply with itß require ments These National batiks are all of them banks of issue; but their bills are furnished them in blank by tbe Govern ment snd must be signed by the officers of the bank hetore they can be put iHo circu lation. Before any bank can receive any blank bills it is required to deposit in the Treas ury of the United States Government bonds to the amount of SIOO for each S9O of bills it seeks to 3ecure. No bank cau get bills in excess of 90 per cent of iu cap ital stock.
