A permanent national bank enrreney, secured by government bonds, must have a permanent debt to rest upon, and If the bank currency Is. to Increase with population and business, tbe debt must ajpo Increase.

We regard ft at the paramount issue 'of the campaign, INSINCERITY AND DECEPTION. The declaration in the Republican platform adopted at the Philadelphia convention held in June, 1900, that tbe Republican party steadfastly' adheres te the policy announced la the Monroe doctrine," Is manifestly Insincere and deceptive. This profession is contra flirted by the a vowed policy of tbs party in opposition to tbe apirlt of tbe Monroe doctrine, to acquire and hold overelmty over large areaa of territory and large numbers of people In the eastern hemigpber.
