TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
All the Cities in San Salvador Except These on
the Coast Destroyed.
Minister OF War Freycinet of France
Speaks, and Reading Between the
Lines Much May be Learned.
The Labor Parliament
Terrible Earthquake

NEW York, Sept. 10.-The Herald has
| this cable dispatch:
SAN SALVADOR. Sept 9-Millions of dol
| lars worth of property and many lives were
| destroyed in this republic by an earthquake
| to-day Whole towns were wiped out and
| hardly city in the country except those
| along the coast escaped the awful effects of
| the convulsion. There has been indications
| for several days past that a seismic dis
| turbance of more than usual power might
| be expected. The volcanoes of San Saliva
| dor, San Miguel and Izales have been I'M
| usually active and deep.
sUBTERRANEAN RUMBLINGs
and slight tremors have been felt. Such
things are not uncommon here, however,
and while there was feeling of uneasineSs
here last night, there was no great alarm
felt. At just five minutes before O'Clock
this morning the earth began shaking. The
wave had strong oscillating and vertical
movement. People rushed into the streets
in their night-clotheS. While lasting only
thirty seconds, before it passed there was
pauic-stricken crowd making its way to the
open country outside of the city. The scene
was terribly sublime. Men, women and
children were shrieking and praying IN the
street. Walls of houses
CRACKED, ToTTERED AND FELL.
There was deep, continuous rumbling,
as if of heavy thunder. The sky was over
cast, and the air was filed with fine, pene-
trating dust. While the shock lasted the
earth rose and fell in long waves, and
strong men were unable to keep their feet.
The panic-stricllen people tocked to the
open ground outside of the city, where
temporary shelters were thrown up when
ever possible, but nearly all the men and a
great many of the women and children had
only the sky for refuge. All through the
morning there have been slight shocks. but
none approaching in intensity that which
had been been SO destructive.
President Ezeta is doing everything he
can to stop any panic and care for the home
less people until it is considered safe for
them to go back to their homes.
The towns throughout the country have
suffered more severely than the capital.
Even Comasagua has been completely de-
sttoyed. Cojuetepequew, Santa Techla,
San Pedro and Misahuat were so badly
shaken that they were practically ruined,
while the shock was plainly felt and dam
age was done at Santa Ana and Susime-
pequela, fully fifty miles from here. II is
impossible at this writing to form any idea
as to the number of lives which have been
lost. Two people were killed here, though
there were many almost miraculous escapes
from death. 1t is feared, however, there
have been many people killed in the smaller
towns,

depended entirely on the corn crop,
| which never amounted to much, be-
cause Western Kansas is entirely with
in the arid belt, and of course gets very
little rain. Unable to meet the inter-
est on their loans, they surrendered
their claims to the loan companies, or
suffered the latter to foreclose.
So it will be seen thai this money
was borrowed for the improvement of
farms in an arid country where farm
ing cannot be made profitable. Bank
ruptcy not only of the farmers, but of
the loan companies as well, was the
inevitable result. Such a result could
not occur in Texas, because no settler
or farmer can borrow money en- his
homestead of 200 acres or less. The
law protects this class of men from
themselves. The men in this state who
may borrow money on land are men OF
business habits who know how to han
die money, to make it profitable, and
velopipg the great natural resources of
Texas. They don't, like the Kansas
homesteader, live in dugouts and trust
to providence and a corn crop for re-
turns on their investment. They in
vest their money in furniture, factories,
iron mills, cotton mills, bagging fac
tories, canneries, packeries, etc.
There is a world of difference be-
tween Kansas and Texas in the matter
of investing money. The former has
proved TO be veritable sink-hole for
borrowed capital, while the latter fur
nishcs such splendid opportunities for
investment, that capital can be kept
out only by legislating against it, as IN
the Gossett amendment They need no
such law as that in Kansas to keep out
money.

SUB-TREASURY HUMBCG.

Congressman Grains reply to the re-
quest of the sub-treasury ties for an ex-
preston OF his opinion on the SUBJ
treasury humbug ought to convince any
honest man not an idiot that the Ocala
platform, and all others that conform
TO it, are the work either OF mischief
makers, designing and corrupt rogues
or ignorant and inculpable journeymen
statesmen. His analysis OF the Picker
and the Vance sub-treasury bills, intro
duced at the last session OF congress,
shows the utter and unspeakable abb
surdity of the scheme proposed by
these fellows. A shoemaker on the
tailor's bench could not execute more
complete botcb in making q suit OF
clothes. But arguments and illustra-
tons are lost on the sub-treasury lead
ers. Either they can't see or they
won't see the folly of their course.
Sane men of all parties and conditions
see that the first victims and greatest
sufferers from sub-treasury enactment
would be the very people for whose
especial benefit it was designed-the
farmers. 1t is not without good reason
that men suspect the honesty of leaders
who persist in the face of obvious ruin
to their own clients, in course that
common sense and experience both con-
denim and abhor. People would prefer
10 call them fools and blockheads if
they were not known to have sense
enough about other matters, and if GER
tain manifestations had not now and
then cropped out tending to show that
thcSe was method in their madness

PROTECTION is a Republican prin-
,iple. The Gossett amendment to the
alien land law excludes foreign compe-
!ition with Yankee capital, and is a
taw for the protection of money. 1t is
Z Republican measure. and undemo-
cratic.
The Gossett amendment plays into
The hands OF the Peoples party, by
driving ont our money and making men
turn for any hope OF relief to The anti
sub-treasury and government land loan
scheme. 1t is Peoples party meas
IRE, and undemocratic.
II is not, and never has been, called
ior 10y any representative Democratic
convention, and is in every sense OPP
posed 10 the policies and the theories
Of the Democratic party.
. let We have Democrats who say they
are u favor OF the Gossett amendment
because they are Democrats.

PROVIDENCE THE FARMERS ONLY
ALLY.


We hear great deal about short
crops in Europe and elsewhere, and the
hope is held out to the American
farmer that he will get good price
for his grain this fall and winter on ac-
count OF the demand from Europe.
That is pleasant enough, to be sure, and
the Dakota farmer will doubtless felici-
tate himself on the fact that sort of
famine reigns over the water. But
how if the conditions were altered ?
Suppose providence had been kinder TO
the Europeans, and that they would not
want more than half OF our 100000
bushels of surplus wheat. What then?
Would McKinley's tariff, Blaine's recip-
rocity, Harrison's ship subsidies, or the
blessed "home market" afford any re-
lief to the Dakota farmer or find mar
Let for his surplus 100000 bushels
of wheat? The more, itseems, we have
of those potent Republican devices for
making people rich, the more the
farmer must depend upon providence
and the chances OF foreign famines or
foreign wars for a fair price for
his products. But maybe when Harri-
son closes up those commercial treaties
with Venezuela and Mexico it will be
different. Benjamin is laboring like
for the farmer. Let him have
natience
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-09-17

IN ORDER to more fully protect the
farmer from the greed OF capital, "
Why not enact law after the fashion
Of the Gossett amendment providing
that all advances hereafter made by
merchants 10 farmers, and all credit"
hereafter given by anyone to q farmer
shall be Illegal. Why not formally
proclaim the incapacity Of farmers to
lake care Of themselves and put them
under the tutelage of laws Endorsed
by those famous statesmen and fnan-

fnanciers, Harry Tracy, DR.. Macune
and Stump Ashby?
