A Word

Now and then. spoken in sim
cerity never comes amiss. 1t
is the ambition of every mer-
chant or business man to In
crease the volume of his trade
from year to year, and IN order
to do this he must study closely
the wants of his patrons. First,
he must have goods suitable to
all classes of trade. Second, he
must have a large variety OF
each class, and third, he must
give the best possible values
for the money paid him. There
may be claimed to be the three
leading attributes of the sue
cessful merchant. Then the
question for the purchaser to
decide is: Who Of all engaged
in trade in my own town and
county make these attributes a
leading affiliation in their busi-
ness?
In the first, Saur Il Balsley
aim to carry a stock suitable to
all classes of trade, the poor as
well as the rich, each and every
one, is treated alike.
In the second, Saur & Basley
can prove to you beyond a doubt,
that they carry larger assort-
ment than any other house in
the great Northwest.
In the third, Saur & Balsley
guarantee to give you as good,
if not better values for money
expended than most merchants
can afford to do.
Summing up the whole mat
ter, you can. see at once that
this is the house to visit and
invest with, as they give you
the best value for your money,
the largest varity to select from,
and a positive guarantee as to
what you purchase, all goods
being just as represented.
In conclusion, Saur & Balsley
would say, when you are seek
ing remedies for relief, or that
which will add beauty and
comfort to your home, or food

A young man asks how to tell whether his
girl has an ugly temper or not. She always
appears pleasant when he is with her, but
still he has a lingering suspicion that she
may be only 'putting it on" for the occasion.
We recommend the following: "Step on her
corn. If she don't get annoyed at that, then
step on her dress train and rip the gathers
out halfway round her waist. If she survives
the ordeal without calling You clumsy

her up before some other fellow does"

States have not only shaped the revenue
policy Of the government for the benefit of
their manufacturing interests, but they
have been equally successful in shaping
the financial policy ofthe government, also
for the special benefit Of their monetary
interests. There was not a financial meas
uIe taken by the government from 1852 to
1885 with q single notable exception, that
was not dictated or suggested by them;
and it may well be inferred that they
made no small amount of money by it,"
To-day nine Eastern States hold mort
cages on Western and Southern farm lands

500, 0OO, 900, bearing an annual interest Of
$50, coo, coo. The Hartford insurance
companies alone hold $40, OOO. coo in West
ern farm mortgages, and the loan cOmpan-
les Of Boston hold even a greater amount.
This unequal distribution Of national
wealth is the direct result of Ubiquitous
revenue and financial policies.
Thanks to a Democratic administration,
he financial policy has been changed. The
revenue iniquity still continues. Daily it
takes from the pockets OF the poor to put
in the pockets OF the rich. 1t taxes the
consumer on every article of purchase, the
implements of his toll, his clothing and his
food, while the protected producer accu-
mulates an une&rned fortune.
The record Of twenty years. experience
is plain. National wealth is accumulated
ami concentrated in u favored locality. Il
is time to demand q change.

..PRIAiE STEAM LARD.

The attempt of the pure lard" pro-
ducers 70 destroy the manufacture Of cot
ton seed oil in the South has been a boom
erang. The House Committee on Agri-
culture has conducted an Investigation Of
the methods pursued in the manufacture
of pure" refined" pure leaf" and
various other lards with cleanly names,
and the results are interesting, if not sur
prisiug.
Mr.. WILLIAM BATTLE, formerly APRON
inent pork packer of st. Louis, vas the
leading witness. His testimony will make
instructive reading to the people whothink
they know all that is worth knowing about
the manufacture OF lard.
Mr.. BARTLE says that at Kansas City,
where he has recently been on o tour Of IT,
vestigatiOn, he found one firm Strengthening
Q great many diseased hogs, the majority
o fthem suffering from what Is known IS
cholera. 4 member Of this firm told him
that they bad recently bought -, 900 hogs
that had been smothered on the trains,
These smothered hogs were flung into the
tanks, aud went into prime steam" Lard
Mr.. BATTLE toll the committee that IN
honest man could not remain in the pork
packing business. Competition of IN
principled dealers, who bought diseased
and dead hogs, would drive an honest pre-
duet from the market. Dir. BARTLE fur
Their explained to the investigators how q
pOrker o. ayersge size was made to yield up
six nicely rounded juicy hams, and how
every portion from the nose ring to tine
caudA appendsge was transformed into
some attractive, though not always health
full, article Of food.
The western pork packers are very angry
with Mr.. BARTLE for giving away secrets
of The trade, and call him some very bad
names, bat a great many people, both
who use pure" refined and prime
steam" lard and who don't, will put faith
in Mr.. BARTLE's testimony.
In view Of these facts, il takes more than
ordinary cheek for the western lard manu-,
f~Acturers to ask for a tax on a cheap and
nutritious article of food like cotton seed
oil, in behalf of their diseased hog indus
trv.

erHE PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING.

&THE PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING.
When The provisions Of the MILLS bill
were first made public, the Republican
press 6ystsrically congratulated the cour-
try that it could never become q law. II
was a sectional measure; a monstrCSity. IL
was grossly unfair. II was on absuIdity,
a ludicrous failure. Such an abortion"
could never pass the House. The solid
Republican vote and many Of the Demo
Gratis wCuld he against il. The high tax,
mOnOpOl!stic, trust combinations could
feel safe. No harm would he done while
this inyincible bulwark Of Republicans
and renegade Democrats stood between
them and the MILLS bill.
But what a change il this? The song is
set to q different tune. The Republican
leaders have discovered that this denounced
and derided measure will in all probabili-
ty pass the House. CHARLES EMORY
SMITH and WHITELAw REID have sound
ed the warning, aud the forces Of mOnopo-
IL have taken the alarm. The corruption
lists and lobbyists are called to take the
fsII Against the bill. These are the pO-
tent political forces of tee Republican par
ty, and it is not strange that they are to
the front in the hour of need. All this
hurrying and seurrying in the high protec-
ton hive has an amusing feature. The
queen bee is wanting and shsis nowhere to
be found. The Republicans in Congress
are split among themselves. They can't
even agree in impeding Democratic legis-
las;on. On the one hand are their pledges
10 the people, on the other is the power
of mOnopolies and trusts; and the choice is
bstweeR the devil and the deep, deep see.
With so much division in the ranks Of
the opposition, the prospects for the pas
sage of the Mills bill are daily becoming
brighter. That it will pass in IN amend
ed form IS hardly a matter of doubt, and
then the responsibility for reducing n
necessary and unjust taxation will he put
where it properly belongs, on the Repub-
l;oap Zopata

states.
s.. louis REpasIeGa.
II il veIy important to remember that
the nine industrial or manufacturing
States of the Union are the capitalist and
creditor States also. They all loan money
to the other States, and all the other States
borrow from them. There is not a single
one of the t~wenty-nine agricultural States
that is not to q greater or less extent under
mortgage to The money lending creditor
States. These mortgages on farms and
railroads represent an enormou aggregate.
In Kansas If is estimated that one-half Of
the entire wealth of the State is mort
gagged to the industrial States; and even
the older Western States. Ohio, Illinois,
Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana, are
mortgaged to the extent OF 20 to 80 per
cent, of their farms and nearly all their
railroads. II is stated that the insurance
companies of Hartford, Conn, hold $70,-
600, OOOiu Western farm mortgages; that the
lean companies Of Boston hold 81, 600
MORTGAGES, representing $40, 000, 900, and
10 the little State OF New Hampshire west
eru farm mortgages TO the amount of $685.
900, 600 are held. If the whole debt
claim Of the industrial States on the farms
and railroads Of the agricultural States
could bs ~ascertained, ii would probably be
not less than So, OOO, 900, 600, bearing an an
nual interest of $3.50, 600, 600.
The in iustrial States have not only
shaped the revenue policy of the Govern
ment for the benefit of their uanufactur-
log interests, but they have been equally
successful in shaping the financial policy
of the Government, also, for the special
benefit of their monetary interests. There
was not q financial measure taken by the
Government from 1862 to 1856, with q
single notable exception, that was not die,
tated or SUGGESTED by them-and it may
we'll be inferred that they made no small
amount of money by it.
Take the $40 bonds, 81, 900, 900, 900 in
amount, issued during and Just after the
war. They bore 6 per cent. and were pay
able, not in gold and silver coin, but in
lawful money"-and lawful money at
that time meant gresnbacks. But tia
money power Of the capital States secured
the passage Of an act in 1869 converting
this grseuback debt into a gold debt. As
the bonds had cost only 20 cents in gold,
the profit on the conversion YVES q clear
$3.50, 600, 900.
Their next profitable achievement was
the resumption Of specie payment in 1879.
o. course specie payment bad TO be re-
usmed, bat this does not impair the value
Of its tremendous effect in favor Of the
creditor States at the expense Of the debtor
states, whereby $4,000, COO, 900 indebted
ness was increased at least one-tbird or
81, 600, 600, 900.
The whole management Of the national
debt has been in the interest of the credit
or States, and, although the effects have
been so gradual as to be almost impercep-
tible, they have still been Of q very sub
stantial character. In the last twenty-five
years the holders Of the Government
bonds, living chiefly in the creditor States,
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1888-03-29

have been paid in interest alone $2,323'-
600, 900, a sum greater than the entire
bonded national debt at its maximum:
We have stated that there was a single
case in which the capital States failed 70
have their way in the monetary policy OF
the Government. 1t was in the passage OF
the silver-coinage bill. They opposed II
with all their power, because they sought
to have ell debts estimated in gold alone
whereby 10 to Is per cent. would have
been added TO them, and in the arrogance
of their opposition M prominent paper al
least in New York went so far asst threaten
a withdrawal OF the moleyed States nom
the Union.
1t is no wonder the industrial States
have grown enormously rich under the
Federal policy of the last twenty.six years
They have shaped that policy in Its two
most practical features, revenue ana u
nance, and shaped it with such effect as &c
make themselves me Of n full hal
the entire wealth of the country, and &c
force the agricultural States to pay them
$3.50 600, 600 a year in interest alone.

Within the last twenty years the revenue
policy Of the nation has been almost entire
" shaped to that end. Excessive taxation
Of the necessaries of life has made one IA

uense of the people at large.
