City Indebtedness.

Census bulletin No. a. gives the in.
debtedness of cities and municipali-
ties from 1880 to 1890. From the re-
port there seems to have been q
steady annual increase of the NUM-
cipal debts and of the annual interest
charge. In Iowa the floating debts
creased from $94,677 in 1880, to
SITS, 965 in 1890, and the bonded debts
during the same time increased from
$2,OG7, lao to $3,O63, 4O5. The total in
terest paid now amounts annually to
$ls3,59 The debt of Charles City is
given at $22, 600, with an annual in
terest charge of 81, 12O. Mason City
the debt is given at 1899; annual
interest at ST. 34. The debt of Deco
rah is reported at SIC, 900: the annual
interest at 5000. These are all the
cities reported in the 4th congress
sionnal district. Each of the towns
named has put in waterworks, which
comprise the bulk Of their indebted.

J.B. CAWARD & co.

If the DEBORAH Republican will
open its eyes and its ears, it may
learn that the decline in prices OF
farm products is not from anticipa-
ton Of the effects of the late Demo
cratic victory, but from present con-
ditions under the operation and eff
feet of existing law. The congress
just elected, will not meet until De-
cember 1891, one year hence, and then
without the concurrence of the Sen
ate and the Executive, cannot change
a single line of any law in existence.
In the mean time the bad effect Of
present laws will be in full force, re-
stricting our foreign market for farm
products, and putting limitations up
on the ability Of our own people to
consume the products of their own
labor, through false systems of fl
nance. that only supply money to the
use of the people through the extor-
tons Of corporations to which has
been surrendered one Of the funct-
ions of sovereign power conferred
solely to the congress.
