SIGNS OF a COMING STRUGGLE.

All over Europe there are signs Of ap-
prebension at the present time. In
these times of peace war preparations
are going on upon a most extensive
scale. In every capital and at every
council board the work OF preparing and
calculating for war that seems to be in
eyitable, is, to say the least, receiving
vast attention. For almost twenty
years the coming of a great contest be-
tween the armed hosts Of Europe has
been foreseen as the result Of an un-
bearable situation, and state has armed
against state and bayonet been added
unto bayonet until the Continent Of
Europe has become gigantic armed
camp, 1t is not probable that such a
state of things can endure. Loans can
not always be raised. and it is just as
certain that commerce and prosperity
are bound to decrease in proportion as
the number Of soldiers are increased.
The richest exchequer is soon eaten
away by the maintenance Of great
armies. Indications point strong to
the fact that we have about reached the
moment when, by what seems almost a
tacit agreement amongst the nations,
the result Of twenty years of'prepara-
ticn are Oh the eve Of being tested. If
war were to break out now it is almost
certain that the contest would be at
first between Germany, Austria and
Italy on one side-with France and
Russia on the other. What the result
Of such contest would be it is not
easy to foretell.
The strain has further been aggraya-
ted by the recent issuing and raising in
France of another loan for Russia ct
SEC, 1000, 900. This cannot be endured
much longer. Furthermore. the fact
that Salisbury deems it of more than
ordinary necessity to make additions to
both the EngIiih army and navy which
he refused to endorse not many months
ago, gives a pretty fair idea as to his
estimate Of the present situation.
There are certainly good grounds for
belief that a European war is near at
hand

citizen and his property; of all who be-
lieve that the contented competence
and comfort Of many accord better with
the spirit of our institutions than colos-
sal fortunes unfairly gathered in the
hands of few; of all who appreciate
that the forbearance and fraternity
among our people which recognize the
value of every American interest are
the surest guaranty Of our pational pro-
gress, and Of all who desire to see the
products of American skill and ingen-
uity in every market of the world. with
resulting restoration of American
commerce. The necessity of the reduc
ton Of our revenue is SO apparent as to
be generally conceded; but the means
by which this end shall be accomplished
and the sum of direct benefit which
shall result to our citizens present a
controversy Of the utmost Importance.
There should be no scheme accepted as
satisfactory by which the burdens OF
the people are only apparently removed.
Extrayagant appropriations Of public
money, With all their demoraliZing con.
sequences, should not be tolerated
either as a means Of relieving the
treasury Of it's present surplus Or as
furnishing pretexts for resisting a prop
er reduction in tariff lates: Existing
evils and injustice should be honestly
recognized, boldly met, and effectively
remedied. There should be no cessa-
tion OF the struggle until plan is per-
fected fair and conservative toward ex.
istlng industries, but which will reduce
the cost to consumers of the necessaries
OF life, while it provides for our manu-
facturers the advantage Of frear raw
materials and permits no injury to the
interests Of American labor. The
cause for which the battle is waged is
comprised within lines clearly and dis
tinctly defined. 1t should never be
compromised. It is the peoples cause. I"

A Useful institution.

We have all been proud Of the Min
nesota Loan and Trust company as
home institution and OF its building,
and have admired the conservatism OF
it's management, and the excellent
character Of it's Board of Directors and
Officers. The company's business is
divided into four departments.
The FIRST department is that Of mort
gage loans. These loans are made with
money obtained from The East by the
company at low rates. This Company
has already procured and loaned i'll
our State, and largely il this city and
St. Paul, over ten millions Of dollars,
of which not one dollar has been lost.
Many Of our people are coming to
find that they cannot do better with
surplus funds than to have them loaned
upon so excellent class of security as
this Company requires. The Company
keeps on hand a stock. of excellent first
mortgages, to be assigned to those who
desire such securities.
The second department, is the Trust
department., which is devoted TO the
care of estates, the execution Of wills
and the guardianship of minors as we'll
as the becoming of Trustee of bonded
Indebtedness. The late Governor
Washburn showed his wisdom by maxi
ing 4 Trust company the Trustee OF
his estate. Trust companies are very
much preferable to individual Exeou-
tors and Trustees. Being q corpora
ton their life is perpetual, and they dc
not die and leave the trust in strange
hands; while their large capital and
surplus makes them absolutely respon-
sible.
The third department is the money
deposit department.. Five per cent per
annum is allowed in this department
upon deposits remaining six months,
This is as liberal rate as our Savings
Banks can allow to depositor, and he
has the added advantage Of large
capital and surplus for his increased
protection. Trust companies havo beer,
useful, because very safe, in this par
ticular branch of their business.
TIE fourth department. is the Safe
Deposit and Storage Vaults which are
the finest in the Northwest. They are
built by the most famous manufactur
ers, and after the most approved
methods. The Company has not only
fitted up safe vaults, but convenient
waiting and coupon rooms, etc., and all
these are at the service of the renter OF
a small safe, for the small sum of five
dollars per year. This affords to people
in moderate circumstances absolute
safety and protection for their valuable
papers, and other valuables. That
these safe deposit and storage vaults
are appreciated, is shown by the fact
that more than 1900 of our. citizens have
availed themselves of the use Of them.
Surely this is large patronage to have
been acquired in 80 short, a time. N
