Smedley for Statistician.

Slectal 10 the UiODe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A. b. SIned-
ley. of Milbank. S. d., was unani-
lmously indorsed by the delegation
from the two Dakotas for the post
ion Of statistican for both states, vice
Chase, deceased.
1t is not to the credit of the delega-
tions from the Dakotas that Col.
Smedley has their Endorsement for
any position whatever, if they know
the man and his antecedents. As o
man he is totally destitute Of business
integrity. His ambition for office is
solely for the plumber it offers to
Slnedley, not for the public good. He
as Master of the State Grange in Iowa,
used it simply to pluck those whom
it was his duty to shield and protect.
A former resident of Cresco, as a
machinist, manufacturer and land
owner, he had accumulated several
thousand dollars of property and had
incurred a few hundred dollars OF
debt. He managed to change his
property into cash, and slide out to
Dakota with his funds, leaving the
friends who furnished agricultural
implements for his farm, paints, oils
and glass for his buildings, school
books for his children, groceriesfo for his
table, to remain his creditors, though
possessed of abundant means to pay
them all, leaving competence for
his own support. The Dakota dele.
CATION if they wish to know more Of
Col. Smedley and to have these stat
ments corroborated are referred to
the following leading republicans Of
Cresco: DR.. J. j. Clemmer, druggist
and Mayor of Cresco, John Farms
worth, banker; Aug. Beadle, late
postmaster Of Cresco; Geo. Morse
dealer in agricultural implements; in
short to the public where he has lived
and which he has plundered SO far u.
he had an opportunity.

The builders convention at st. Paul
was gorgeous affair. One of the
speakers from n. v, made the speech
of the organization, devoting nearly
the whole of it to war upon organ
lied labor. His great cry was that it
opposed the apprentice system. The
speaker knows less about learning
trades among builders, than about
speech making, il he does not know
that their policy is to instruct APP
prentices and Others in just one branch
OF trade, thereby unfiitting them for
independence in obtaining employ
msnt. The boy who goes into one of
these large establishments to learn a
trade, is instructed i'm but one branch,
and kept in ignorance Of all the de-
tails and practical features of every
other branch. For instance boy ut

Bank Deposits not Cash in Bank,

We believe it was an Ottawa, Kan
sas, republican paper that stated the
banks Of that county had $3.50, 900 de
posits and that therefore the circula-
ton of money in that (Franklin)
county amounted to $50 per capita.
We have not the article before us,
but that was about the sum and SUBJ
stance of it. Deposits are not money
on hand. Those banks haven't to ex
coed 800, 900 Of money in their vaults
If that mueh-perhaps not over half
that sum. Deposits in banks grow
from the necessity among the people
OF borrowing. A bank starts, receives
$2O, 600 on deposits; loans it out: the
money comes back to the bank again
as deposits; it is loaned out again and
comes back again and SO on until
from the $50, 900 the deposits amount
to 100000 or more. Now, If there
were no borrowers, the $4,000 first
deposited would lie in the bank un
disturbed until the depositors check
ed it out, and the total deposits would
be only $4,000 instead of 100000.
1t may be paradoxical but never
theless you will find it to be true tina,
large aggregate Of bank deposits i.
not q sign Of prosperity but quite the
contrary.
Another point in this connection
These heavy deposits necessitates thu
holding by the banks of a consider
able sum in cash to meet an ener
gency, and this reserve, SO far as tn,
channels Of trade are concerned, i
practically out Of existence. Nilsson

a correspondent of the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette proposes VIM. p. Daniels,
formerly Of Lime Springs, as the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress from
the 5th Congressional District. On
the question of tariff reform and bal
lot reform, Mr.. Daniels is all right;
but how does he stand on the cur
rency question, which is il possible OF
vastly more Importance. PLAIN
DEALER.
When there il any occasion for SO
doing, Mr.. Daniels will not be back
ward about defining his position in
regard to the financial question, OF
any other OF public interest, without
any evasion or lodging, and it will
not be the position of Iowa's senior
Senator, in the interest of the eastern
capitalist and opposed to that of the
western producer. BY the way, il
Mr.. Mead will refer to his files fol-
October, 1887, he will find that the
PLAIN DEALER then vouched for Mr..
Daniels on the financial question:
Cedar Rapids Standard.
The PLAIN DEALER has no doubts
about the position Of Mr.. Daniels on
the currency question. Its only rea.
son for qualifying its former endorse
ment was the reply of the Cedar
Rapids Gazette to the article pub
lished in 1887, when he was q candi
date for State Senator. We have ns
doubt but as the Standard says, that
unlike Mr.. Allison, Mr.. Daniels would
favor the western producer as agains
the eastern capitalist.

He Sent Eighty Miles for It.


Milo Page, of San Bernarnino, CAL,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1858 was taken with bilious COL
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland, /
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DIR. PinkertOn
that it was chronic and incurable.
While FRUSTRATED by q severe attack
q friend induced me to take large
dose Of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour 1 was
free from pain. l followed this up
with three wine-glasses day-oLe,
half au hour before each meal-until
l used up the bottle.
For over seven years l was perfect
~ free from bilious collie, but in the
fall Of 70 was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food l ate
brought on q sharp attack. l was
far from any drug store, but / dis
patched a courier eighty miles for a
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but put the bottle to my lips.
took two swallows, and In twenty
minutes the pain left me. l finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after
ward was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
i A month ago it returned, but try.
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
was cured, as before.
i / write this because you do not es
pecially recommend Vinegar Bittert
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies of this dis
ease, can understand what q boon q
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yOn have the best, and per
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will say
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundred,
of diseases; we have not the space tt
catalogue them, and perhaps il w,
published them those unacQuaintet
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt It's efficacy still, O.
SO many worthless preparations ar,
thrust Oh the market and pulled il
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, tina
those who have been accustomed t,
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
J of time, are hale and hearty. whethe
they are young or old. Those VIII,
doubt and fail to take it are likely t,
. fall into all manner of ailments, grea
and small. Vinegar Ritters, both OIL,
: and New Styles, keep those who TAX
) them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when We ono
gain customer, we keep them al
8 ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eight,
: miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it wa
almost ride for life.
The New Style Vinegar Bitters is

The Gerrymander.

The deadlock in the Iowa legisla-
ture is Il contest between the popular
vote of the people and an apportion-
ment of the state into representative
districts expressly for partizan ends
and in violation Of the equal rights OF
the people in every part OF the state
to an equal voice in its legislation.
The ratio of representation was es-
tablished at "A, 900. Sixteen republic

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.

Some of the Fine Buildings Put On in
Helena by One Firm.
It has been the custom with most invest
ors in Helena real estate to place thei,
money on some property which they con-
slider bargain, without taking into con-
sideration the ownership of adioinino
property or forming any idea as to what
might be expected to take place that would
tend to increase the value of the property
purchased.
Nor do many of these investors 60 as far
as to consider what it is that really adds
value to one given locality; nor does it seem
possible to many that these circumstances,
which tend to increase the value of prop
erty, are within the control of any individ-
ual. but they are apt to look upon these
things as matters of chance. So they drop
their money and watch the wheel of for
tune with breathless anxiety, never dream
ing that one side of it is loaded and that
some enterprising chap who stands oppo-
site has magnet in his hand.

foremost among Helena'S enterprises, and

agement of G. s. Appleton, whose business
It is to increase the value of ground. His
ability to do this has been demonstrated
repeatedly.
