Safe Interest.

All national and State banks receive
deposits subject to check at sight, but
do not pay interest. Principal trust
companies have two systems, elective
at the time of depositing, one similar
to the above banks and the other a
time account, when a notice Of from
ten days to two weeks is required. On
the first system they pay 2 per cent.
and on the latter % per cent. No reli-
able banks pay more rate of interest
than that cited here, and on any larger
rate of interest it would be we'll to ex-
anime carefully the security.

Whale Boats.

In answer to several enquiries con-
Il corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 32 feet
long. These frames are bent in one
piece of oak, and held to shape, thus
requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 40 sections in number,
is sold at $2S; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be clinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but
are intended for rough use and durable
lily, yet light withal, for fishing and
trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and
make this offer to amateurs and others
DESTROYS of trying their hand, with
plenty of leisure and small cash to make

The Detroit Scandal Sheets Reporter
Found Guilty.


After a three days trial, in the
case of the people VS.. Pasco, the jury
returned verdict of guilty against
the prisoner for criminal SANDER.
Hewas sentenced to 80 days impris-
onment, or to pay 800 fine and s64
cost The verdict gave general salts
faction. If the proprietor of that
Detroit obscene sheet, the Sunday
World, could only be given a similar
dose, the citizens would be still more
pleased. During the trial no evidence
was presented to show that there was
the least foundation for the base
charges made against an estimable
lady.
The evidence has, however, placed
some citizens in a very dishonorable
position, and that is of starting the
scandal and furnishing the same
to the infamous World reporter. The
principal one implicated is |. f. Clark,
the manager of the telephone ex-
change. Clark testified that A. w.
Ziem gave him the information, but
Mr.. Ziem denied having done So.
One thing, however, seems certain,
and that is, that Clarke is as response
bic as any one for the Detroit scandal
sheet reporter getting hold of the base
charge. Even if some one did tell
him of the alleged affair, that did not
give him the right to retail it to the
Detroit scandal publishing sheet. A
man can not repeat scandal about
other persons and not become respon-
sihle for the statement. 1t makes no
difference who told him, for when he
repeats it he becomes responsible.
Last week we gave our opinion very
plainly in regard to the Detroit scan
dial paper and its reporter, but as con-
Germs private citizens it has not been
the custom of the ARGUS to make at
tacks on such, and as regards Clark
We leave him to the citizens. We be-
lieve that the people will deal with
those who have been connected with
this affair as they should be treated.
1t is no light matter, circulating re-
ports that have tendency to break
up families and cause endless misery.

How the Farmer is Robbed.

Our farmers produce a yearly sur
plus averaging over $600,000,00O.
If they may not sell this abroad they
cannot sell it anywhere. They pro-
duce the amount in excess of the
home consumption.
They cannot sell il for coin-no
nation has any surplus coin. Brazil
offers rubber. China offers tea. France
offers silks, England offers cutlery
and wool, Spain offers fruit-each
country offers its surplus products.
Exchanges are made Through
agents called exporters and import
ers) at profit to each party. Our
farmers profits are large. The COM
petition on the other side is keen.
But when the farmer receives his pay
protection steps in and robs him of
81 per cent. of his payment. He
must pay that tax at the custom
house before he may receive his goods
in payment.
He pays il out of his profits, and
has some profit left. But the profit
left is very small. The Republican
party says that this payment to the
farmer must be stopped. The tax on
his payment must he raised until il
is so high that he will not have u
profit left. Then he will not be able
to bring in his payment and will stop
making surplus. The small farm
or must be driven off the land.-Ex.

Then and Now.

One of the silly features of the last
campaign was the Republican com.
plant of the administration for keep
ing a part of the surplus in pet
banks" instead of using it to pay
off the debt. In reply it was proved
with mathematical exactness that the
bonds could not be redeemed ut any
advantage to the government, and that
by depositing the amount in the banks
a small revenue was derived from it
that could not be got by keeping it
in the treasury vaults.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Harrison asked
if "our Democratic friends proposed
to keep it on deposit until the bonds
mature" and Mr.. Blaine, in his
speech in Detroit, proposed impeach-
ing Secretary Fairchild for his mis-
conduct.
-Four months have gone by and
now Secretary Window confesses that
the money in the banks is about the
same as when Mr.. Fairchild was
secretary. He wants to be conser-
vative, he says, and not do anything
that might disturb trade. But is he
"going to keep it on deposit until the
bonds mature?" and is Mr. Blaine
going to have him impeached?
This kind of fooling with a ques-
ton during presidential campaign
makes intelligent men resent the sort
of stuff that the politicians play off
on them as if they were young child
rem or old fools who could be made
to swallow anythiDg.-Detroit Jour.
