Our own trusts have not these insur-
mountable obstacles to effective combin-
alton. For instance. the Lumber Trust
in this State is effective because the pro-
ducers are small in number and of the
same State and nationality, and their
consumers or victims are in the same
country and cut off from foreign sup
ply. When our Lumber Trust sells to an
Australian who is free to buy in British
Columbia, it charges him much lower
price than it would Californian, who
must either buy their lumber or none at
all, as he could not afford to charter a
vessel for single cargo from British
Columbia.

deposits In National Bank,

The National Bank depository system
has been in operation for q quarter of a
century. From the commencement OF
the fiscal year OF 1864 to the end of the
fiscal year of 1888 it has been in opera
tion under each successive Secretary Of
the Treasury in virtue of authority con
ferred by law, OF which Mr.. Blaine him.
self was one of the lawmakers. (See
Revised Statutes of the United States,
sec. $3.50. There is no favoritism which
appears from the fact that most of the
bank repositories are officered by Repub.
licans. Any National Bank making pro-
per application and securing the Govern
ment by United States bonds, receives on
deposit about so per cent. OF the market
value OF bonds. The Government being
perfectly secured and so long as we have
an idle surplus, the manifest advantage
of this arrangement is the putting OF that
much money into circulation through the
banks. Otherwise that money would be
boarded in the Treasury vaults, of no use
to the Government and of serious detri-
the interests of the people. For this
money, OF which the banks are made the
repositories, is paid in for internal reve.
nue. by the people, and unless it again
circulates the laws of trade are inter
rupted in their free course, and the COM
munity suffers from the evils OF con-
tracted currency, financial stagnation
and high rates of interest.
1t is unfortunate that less than $3.50, 900
of Government money is on deposit in
the banks OF our State, while over
$50, ZOO, 900 are uselessly accumulated in
the Sub-Treasury vault of San Francisco,
where it is inaccessible to trade, "the
calm health Of Nations" The President
and his Administration found the sur
plus, the outcome of unnecessary
taxation, and had to deal with it. By
bond purchase, which has been Judi
ciously done, much of the debt of the
United States has been retired, but a cor.
ner in bonds forced the premium which
the Government was required to pay to
such highth that it was deemed in
expedient to be simply victimized and
last week, without the advice of Mr..
Blaine, the Secretary OF the Treasury an.
nounced that he would for the present
purchase no more four per cent bonds.
The consequence was complete vindi-
cation of his financial policy. The bonds
fell in few days from $50 to 1854. The
only other course open fro lessening the
evils of the surplus is plainly to keep the
money in circulation, as has been wisely
done for twenty-five years, without loss
or injury to the Government. What
other remedy has Mr.. Blaine? With
the Wall-street corner he says, HKeep
on buying bonds" Mr.. Cleveland'a
remedy is to first reduce unnecessary
taxation, make judicious bond purchases,
and, as temporary expedient, circulate
the money; and thus, by degrees, bring
back the Government to its legitimate
purposes.-[S. F. News Letter.

EDITORS HERALD Notwithstanding
my plain and explicit declaration upon
the subject, l understand that persons,
whose private interests lead them to op-
pose my election, are daily asserting that
I do not intend to deposit the county
funds, in the event of my election, among
the various banks mentioned in my
former published communication. l
respectfully refer your readers to my let
ter dated September 7th, addressed to
Mr.. F. H. Barclay, replying to COM
munieation addressed by him to me. In
that letter / stated, and again state,
that, if elected, l will keep
all moneys belonging to the State
or county as required by law
and that, as the county has
provided that no vault, or any other safe
repository, will deposit such moneys in
the First National Bank, Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, Los Angeles County Bank,
Southern California National Bank, Chill
dress Safe Deposit Bank, University
Bank, Los Angeles National Bank, and
such other banking establishments OF
the county as may be found desirable
and secure. / call attention to the spe-
tific character of my pledge, and call at
tention to the fact that there is no equivo-
cation about it, and no one has ever been
able to show that l have ever acted
etherwise than in good faith, or have ever
been accused of the violation of my
pledge. p. E. HEWITT.
