The Public Purse.

From Western Rural: The October
reports of the condition of the national
treasury lies before US. It reports a
decrease of the debt for the month as
being $13, 276,714.1S. But the fact
is that the public debt has not been de-
creased one dollar On the contrary
Mr.. Manning says openly and boldly
that to pay debt which is bearing as
low an interest as the public debt is
bearing would be poor fnanciering.
1t is perfectly idle to talk about debt.
We cannot pay the debt until we get
the fangs of the nation al banking sys-
tenn out of the public pocket-Dook.
The secretary of the Treasury is him
self national banker 1t is expecting
a good deal of man to do anything
looking to the destruction Of his own
profitable business. MIR. Manning does
not intend to cripple the nation al
banks or do anything that will tend
even in the slightest degree in that
direction, and the people would be
very foolish to expect it. The reason
that the secretary thinks, or pretends
to think, that it would be poor fnan-
ciering to pay our low interest bearing
debt, is that to pay it would destroy
the lucrative business of the bankers,
and to pay any portion of it would be
in the direction of the ultimate de-
struction of the basis of the system.
The best fnanciering that this world
knows anything about is to honestly
get money enough to pay a debt and
then pay it. There never was any
fnanciering equa. to that, and never
will be. But the Secretary gets the
money but does not pay the debt. He
cannot help getting the money. for
that comes into the treasury, whether
he will or not. He states In this report
before us that there is in the treasury
a "total available for the reduction of
the debt the sum of 1888, S64 AIS
y. Then why in the name of common
sense and an overburdened people has
not the debt been decreased to that
amount instead of $f3, 276,114.1S, as
he claims it has been? Is it good I'm
anciering to hold money that may be
used for the payment of the debt, and
money for which there is no other use.
and still let the interest bearing burden
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1885-12-03

remain untouched, or if we take the
Secretary statement reduce the burden
only to the comparatively insignificant
extent of paying 813, 276, 114.1S But
according to the Secretary's own show
ing he has in the treasury S4S3, 936,
l57. O5, and as a matter of fact, as we
have so often said, every dollar of that
sum might be used toward the payment
OF the debt, without the least incon-
venience. The truth is there is very
much larger sum than the largest am
cunt stated in the public treasury, as
we have several times shown, and the
truth is our public debt is increasing
all the time, and has never decreased
one red cent under Mr.. Manning's
manipulation. The people will not al
ways stand this financial skuldugery,
and they stand it now simply because
they do not understand it. Wall street
that is manipulating this matter will
yet get its back broken, and its neck,
too.

The Hiles Libel Suits.

During the past week large numbers
of interested persons and witnesses
have found their way to GAINESVILLE,
where an effort is being made to try
these cases upon their merits. Thus
far but little has been accom- plished
The suits pending against VIM. H.
Brown, D. A. Coon, Henry Kuntz,
Jasper Crotteau, and r. G. Lyon were
discontinued by Hiles on paying all
costs thus far incurred. The case Of
John Edwards was taken up for trial.
After it had fairly begun Hiles made
an effort to have all the pending cases,
nine in number, continued on condition
that each side should pay half the
costs. This proposition was fatty re-
fused and the examination of Mr.. Ed
wards continued.
This, the opening case, began We'd
nesday morning Nov. 25. Hiles is
represented by H. w. Remington,
(who should be ashamed of himself)
w. III. Ebbetts, Milwaukee; JAS. NJ.
Morrow, Sparta; O. III. Fethers,
GAINESVILLE. The defendants by Geo.
r. Gardner, Geo. i. Williams, John
Winans, E, NJ. Hyzer and Plinny Mar
cross, Evansville
In opening the case Mr.. Remington
occupied half day lauding the vir-
tues CD of Hiles. Mr. Gardner re-
quired about two hours time to inform
the jury and court what they were
prepared to prove was Hiles true char
acter and record He was thoroughly
in earnest and made complete review
of Hiles from his birth to the present
time. 1t was complimentary CD to
Mr.. Hiles, of course.
Mr.. Nash was telegraphed at Wash
ington to be present in GAINESVILLE and
thoroughly surprised the Wood county
boys by his presence, Monday. He
presented himself in court to testify.
Mr.. Edwards was on the witness
stand. Judge Gardner asked the
court for permission to take Mr..
Nash's testimony first and then con-
tinue Mr. Edwards. Hiles' attorney,
Ebbetts, strenuouSly objected. Court
overruled objection. Mr. Nash gave
in his testimony and came home Tues
day. He informed us that there was
a compromise effort being made by
Hiles TO discontinue all cases, which
he thought might be effected Tuesday
or Wednesday, He was anxious to
discontinue, but his attorney, Ell. w.
Remington. advised against settle
Element, stating that his charges for
services will be $500. Mr.. j. D.
Witter returned Wednesday morning
and states that eight witnesses have
thus far been examined and that the
case is progressing slowly.
The expenses are constantly
augmenting, and the tendency
of the case thus far, points to the de-
feat of Hiles who will be compelled to
pay all the costs made, which will run
up into the thousands.
The number of cases still pending
are against John Edwards, now on
trial, w. I. Jones, S. A. Spafford, to
be tried the present term, and Ed.
Lynch's, which has been put over one
term, Ed t. Harmon and P. N.
Christensen's cases are pending in
Wood county circuit court, and L. E.
Nash has been summoned TO defend a
case, but the complaint has not been
served.

INDIANA BONDS.
A Transaction With Fraudulent School
Bonds OF That State.

WASHINGTON, September 1O.-Civil Service
Commissioner Thomas is not in the city,
and it is therefore impossible to ascertain
all the facts with regard to his alleged
transaction in Indiana township bonds.
He purchased the house in which he now
lives about two weeks ago from A. Rich
ards and C. Martin, of this city, for which
he paid $13,O 900, transferring the vendors
at par that amount in Indiana township
school bonds. He received the bonds from
a Mr.. Davis, dealer in school furniture of
Chicago, who had received them through
his travelling agent, r. A. Pollard: MIR.
Davis was in Washington at the time OF the
purchase. Before closing the bargain
the owners of the property took
great pains to satisfy themselves OF the
character and standing Of the bonds. They
received written opinions from two or
three eminent Indiana lawyers and
also caused their bankers to telegraph
to their correspondents in Indianapolis in
regard to the matter. The responses in
every instance were in effect and without
qualification chat the bonds were a good
investment. Mr.. Martin, from whom the
above information is obtained, says he did
not suppose the bonds were worth par, but
inasmuch as they bore 8 per cent. interest
and as some of them already had several
months accrued interest, he considered
them a good investment. If the bonds
prove fraudulent he will call upon Mr..
Thomas to redeem them at the priceat which
they were taken. 1t is not intimateG in
any quarter that Mr.. Thomas was cogni-
zant of any fraud or irregularity in the
issuance of the bonds.
