Tho platform endorses the movement inaugurated at Cincinnati and “‘tho nd patriotic principles there lopted.” The chiof of these is the de- mand that the government shall issuo treasury notes in volume equal to the transaction of tho entire husiness of the country ona *‘eash basis.”” No practical man will need to have pointed out to him the absurdity of this demand. It is estimated that the volume of business transactions in the country last year oxcoeded ten billion dollars, What value would notes pos- sess when issued to that amount or to one-fourth of the amount? Would any farmer care to exchauge his grain or any workingman give his labor for such paper promises? When the gov- ernment, floated $100,000,000 in greenbacks it roquired nominally #2850 of them to buy a gold or silver dollar. Tlow many would be demanded for a dollar of coin if the gov- ornment should now put out treasury notes to the amount of not more than $2,000,000,000? More than 90 per cont of the business of the country is done on individual eredits, the basis of all credit. If individual credit wera abolished, which would be the necessary effe of complianco with tho demand of the beopla’s party,” it must bo obvious to intelligent men that government credit could not survive, and the treasury promise to pouring out in incrensing volume, would inevitably follow the course of the Argentine cedula. The farmer who should borrow from the governmont such money on tion to o wise t 2 per cent interest would find in time that he was worse off than when borrowing sound money at 10 or 12 per cont. When it roquired five or six doliavs in notes to purchase what one dollar will now buy the advantage of 2 per cent interest would vanish, It would seem to ba impossible that intelligent farmer or wage worker be drawn into tho support of this y scheme, or if so that they can bo held to it after its fal- lacy is pointed out. These classes are equally interestod, and as much so as any other class, in a sound and stable currency, and neither in Towa nov else- whore will any considerable number of them countenance the demand for au policy which would destroy the foundu- tions of financial security, break down atonce individual and national credit alyzoovery logitimate aid to matori s and prosperity, and terminate to all interosts, an can crazy VINDICATION. If the critics of the course of Secre tary Blaino in connection with the Bohring sen question ave at all disposod to do him justice they will find in the latest published correspondence tha opportunity to do so. They have per- sistently maintained that the secretary of state was responsible for the delay in reaching some arvangement for a closo although the proposal to sus- il catching this yoar first came him, and they have allegod he was prompted to tho delay by a desive to pro- moto the interests of certain political friends, Thoy have said that tho president, dissatisfied with the course of Mr." Blaine, had at last taken the matter into his own hands and pro- posed to direct it to a conclusion, The prolonged sickness of the secretary of state devolved the duty of taking charge of the correspondence in this matter upon the first assistant secrotary, and doubtless for that reason alone, the pre idont has given the subject more active attention than othorwise he would have done. But there is not the slightest of any dissatisfaction, and it not appear t the pro- posals of Mr. Blaine have been in anywise changed. The correspond- ence discloses the fact that the responsi- bility for delay has been wholly with the British government. One of the most relentless critics of the secretary of state is forced to say that “‘there is the ap- ponrance of a lack of promptness on both sides,” which is a virtual confession that what it has beon persistently urging against Mr. Blaine was unjust. So far as the charge is concorned that the sec- rotury of state has beon especially solic- itous to protect the interests of his friends concerned in the North American commercial company, it that he asked no more than simple justice and the obligations of the government in its contract with the com- pany demanded. Under the agreement entored into between season, pend from that evidence does is shown the government and the company the latter is required to provide for the wants of the inhabit- ants of the istands where the company is privileged to kill soals, free of all costs and charges to such inbubitants or to the United States. It would manifestly have boen Wost unjust to enforee the per- formauce of this obligation upon the | | would the | company, and at tho same time ""“l bld them to take any seal, nor they probably have submitted to it. Secretary Blaine therefore urged that the company, in the event of a close season being established, should be al- lowed to take a sufficient number of seals to recompenye them for their outs | lay in taking care of the natives, The absolute of this no reasonable and unprejudiced person will guestion, | and the fact that it has been conceded to be fair by the British government is a vo answer to all adverse criti- cism. Without provision of this kind the natives would almost certainly have suffered privation and hardship, in which case thess samo ceritics who have so persistently misrep- vesented Secretary Blaine would have been unsparing in denouncing the inhu- manity of the government. The real cause of delay in the negoti- ations is to be found in the deference of the British government to the and wishes of the Canadinn gover nment, 1d even now it is apprehended that in of the death of Premier Macdonald delay would be atly prolonged The latest published corresponc in this matter is a completo vindication of Soevetary Blain fairness groat views gr THE WORLID'S FAIR COMMISSION. Nebraska has voted $50,000 from he state treasury for the world’s fair ex- hibit. The next legislature will proba- bly add another #50,000. Private sub- seriptions and local organizations will likely contribute much It is the hope and expectation of the people of the state that a creditable showing will be madeof her resources and attrac- tions at the groat fair. Amplo funds will be duly provided, and in the hands of good managers, Nebraska will realize handsomely from the investment. ‘T'he commissioners contomplated under the act appropriating money for the ex- hibit will make a successor failure of the enterprise, according as they shall be able, honest and industrious. It is of the utmost importance that good men be assigned to these positions, The sal- aried officers especially must be men in whose tegrity and judgment the peo- ple have unlimited confidence. Othor wise the individual subscriptions, will fall far short of the requirements and a finsco will result. THE BEE has no favorites to recom- mend. It will be entirely satisfied with appointments made if the ap- pointees are men who can b trusted to represent Nebraska properly and successfully. Wo cannot refrain from the suggestion, however, that the managers of the Nebraska exhibit should be men of indomitable industry, of good business ability and not mere political hacks who have claims upon the gov- ernor for either personal or partisan services. An attorney at law, a rail- voad clerk or a farm hand will hardly possess the vequived qualifications. Tt will take a broader knowledge of affairs than that of any of tho gentlomen 30 far cited to make the exhibition a success. The governor will make no mistake in taking time to canvass tho special fit- ness of candidates. CAPTURING THE COURT HOUSE, General Vietor Vifquain sounds tho democratic slogan for the November olections. Tho platform of the party and the sinews of war will all be directed to capturing the court houses. In other words, the democratic patriots propose to dovote their time and enorgies to se- ring county oflic In these local | elections, tariff and free trade are not issues. The emoluments of the offices are the controlling influence which leads candidates to sacrifico time, energy and money for the ostensible good of tho party. General Vifquain was the goneral of Governor Boyd. Ho was Cleveland’s counsul to Colon. He has long been a dushing democrat full of fight and flourish. He voices u well grounded sentiment in saying the demo- erats will this fall move upon the court houses. Thoe state campaign possossos comparatively litile intorest. Every county office sccured outside of somo twenty counties,which are naturally dem- ocratic, is an office gained to the party. In some of the western counties & demo- cratic justice of tho peace has never been known, and only democeats, actu- ated by sublime self abnegation, have! over before been willing to saerifico themselves as candidatos, and they did so for the sole purposa of maintaining an organization and securing a repre- sentation in state conventions, The times, in the opinion of leadors of the buorhon party, are vipe for a gen- oral assault upon the cash boxes and tho soft places in the court houses.
