GRAND MEADOW. Dec. Is. 1880,


Editor Transcript, Austin, MINI.
saw AL article in the Austin Mercury
of last week, in relation to the Cargill
Bros elevator fire, in this village, where.
in the author says: I'D. L. Tanner, of
Brownsville, and the Wheeler Brothers
of Austin, had some wheat in store, all of
which will be a total loss unless it can be
proved that the elevator was set on fire by
sparks from passing locomotive"
Mr.. Mercury, where did you gam such
information? Mr.. Tanner or the Wheeler
Brothers never furnished it, think. We
will say it IS not characteristic Of the
firm Of Cargill Brothers to repudiate a
debt. and they are not doing it now, as
numbers OF men will gladly testify who
had wheat in the elevator and who receiv.
ed their pay while their wheat was still
burning. Every man who has asked it
has been paid in full. Some are still
carrying their burned wheat, waiting for
rise in price. The article is unjust aud
unwarranted, against good firm, who
have been very unfortunate, having lost
four elevators ia about one year, but who
still pay one hundred cents on dollar,
and who were running as usual three
days after the fire. In conclusion. We
will say, il any one has any OF Cargi!l
Brothers wheat checks, please present
them, as money is on hand ut the Meadow
to meet all just demands, whether it Is for
burned or merchantable wheat
Respectfully Yours,

they desired the prisoner (Riley) to be

of the county, and where The prisoner
could be kept at much less expense than

AUSTIN, MINNESOTA:
Christmas

Will soon be here, and then \ few days
more, and 1880, with its joys and sorrows,
Its hopes realized and unrealiZcd, will
have passed away TO come back to us no
more. This going out of the old year,
and entering in upon the new, always
brings to US sad thoughts. 1t tells US we
arc growing old, that another year has
been added to our lives. It reminds us,
too, that we are continually "marching
on" and with no stopping over for an.
other train. And as we look back, 1t
seems but little longer than childhood's
summer day since the beginning of the
new year, 1880, and but few hours less,
when the merry spring-timc came with
its leafy buds, and seed-time, and prom Use
OF summer, and then the summer months,
telling of the harvcst-tlme which should
surely follow; aye, and only little Ion
ger, when the golden autumn came, with
lis garnered sheaves aud ripened fruits,
and we awake as from dream to find
December, 1880, the last month of the
year, fast passing away, and we are reused
from our dreaming by the shouts OF
the children telling US of Christmas, that
the gladdest, melriest day Of all the year,
is at our very threshold, and so, for the
children's sake, we drop the curtain be.
tween US and the past and take up the
broken threads, weaving them, as best
we may into the uneven warp of life, and
say we welcome thee, the children's
almost holy holiday, and our hearts shall
enter into all this curollng and gift max
ing with which the children will usher
in this eighteen hundred and eigh,ieth
birthday of the infant Jesus. For, if the
wise men of the East should seek that
starry night 10 celebrate his birth, bear
ing in their hands frankincense and
myrrh, the choicest, costliest symbols of
their love and alteration, we say, let the
children help honor and celebrate the dsy,
and we will help them to remember that
tits not only the birth of this infant
King they celebrate, but to let these
words, "peace on earth-good will to
men," enter in and become living prln.
ciple in their every act for the year to
co:ae And let US all, old and young,
each day of the coming year, keep ia our
hearts this Christmas chorus, "Peace on
earth, good will to men,"

WHY NOT PAY 1T OFF?

Judge KeIIey's Financial Policy.
Judge Kelley, the well known Repub-
lican Greenback member of Congress
from Philadelphia, now comes forward
with financial proposition that will
strike the people as very sensible,
though secretary Sherman appears to
favor the refunding and debt continuing
policy. Judge Kelley says that between
the present time and the first of Septem-
Der, 1891, the various loans of the United
States to become redeemable at the
option of the government, aggregate
81 ,O31, SAC, 300. This amount is distri-
buted as follows; Oregan war debt
1921 300. Six per cent bonds due, De-
cember 81, 1880, Sls.4l5,OOO; due June
80. 1881, $254, 164, $50. Five per cent
bonds, due May 81, 1881, $5G5, 40, $50.
Five and half per cent. bonds due
September l, 1891, $25O,OOOOOO. This
aggregate is one-half of the national
debt, and it includes all of the bonded
Indebtedness of the nation except the
four per cent. bonds, which do not be
come due till July 1. 1907.
Now instead of refunding this half
billion of debt, and paying in the course
of twenty-five years as much more for
interest alone, Judge Kelley proposes
that we pay the principal as it natures,
and thereby save most of the expense for
interest He would provide for about
thirty-eight millions, exclusive of inter
est, each year from now till 1907. In
this way he claims that the six per cent.
bonds would be redeemed in six years
the five per cent. bonds in - years, and
the five and half per cent. bonds in
six years Thus he would manage to
pay all the maturing bonds in 25 or 26
years His calculations as to the ag,
gregate of interest to be paid would
amount to only 21a per cent. per annum
OH the aggregate of bonds redeemed
The total of principal and interest foI
% years would be 81 ,628, 2S1 ,O68 - d
sum no greater than the sinking
fund act now requires to be paid
The peculiar advantages which Judge
Kelley claims for his plan are that it in
wolves IL much smaller expenditure OF
money than any other plan. II the ma
turing bonds are refunded at four pei
cent, as proposed by the secretary of the
treasury, the interest alone for thirty
years would be considerably in excess o.
the total principal which it is pro
posed to cancel. If the maturing bond:
are refunded at three and half per cent.
as proposed by Fernando Wood, the in
terest would be far in excess of both til,
principal and interest required to canoe
the bonds, according to Judge Kelley''
plan. Lately the committee on way
and means had the plan under discus
sion. and postponed further consideration
for one week In the meantime, the sec
rotary of the treasury is to furnish intor
nation in regard to previous anticipates
payments by the government, and ais,
the prospect of paying the debt accord
ing to the provisions of the sinkin,
fund act
