SWEPT AWAY A TOWN.

 Great Damage Caused by Floods in
 Road-Narrow Escape of Work
 men.
 PANAMA, Dec. 4. Advices from Costa Rica, dated November 20, say that heavy rains in the neighborhood of Cartago caused the Moline river to again overflow its banks and created great alarm in the regions inundated only short time before.
 The force employed in clearing away the wreckage and constructing levees was there upon increased by 200. Whether any further damage was wrought will not be known until the arrival of the next mail.
 The first train that could be got on the lincs since the flood, ran as far as Juan Vinas-eighteen miles of Csrtago-on whence the mails were carried on by horses and hand cart. This will go on until the bridges can be repaired or reconstructed.
 In addition to the damage done by the flood considerable landslide occurred on the railway between Cartago and Juan Vinas. Over three hundred men were at work on the line there, and it is no little wonder that three of them were crushed by the falling mass of earth and rocks.
 The town of Carillo was totally de- stroyed, the flood making a clean sweep of everything except the old custom house and portion of the Hotel Ferrocarril The river Suelo now flows over the site of the town. The river Toro Amarillo also, that ran below the town, has formed for itself an entirely new channel, but de- molished the railway bridge over the old bed before abandoning it.

LONDON, Oct. l0.-An enormous concourse

had been selected to escort the body to

silently and respectfully watched the pas

There was terrible scene inside the

NATIONAL BANKS.

The Hutchinson NeaUs, of June 10,
undertakes a defense of the national
banking system, and anything bear
ing the semblsnce of even q pretense
10 argument is so rare IN the Repub-
lican press that we are constrained to
render this effort respectful considera-
tion. The Ne,cS complains Of the
Capital because of it's failure to re-
spond to certain queries repeatedly
propounded and still unanswered.
We desire to test the ability and the
disposition of the Ne,cs to solve a few
problems relating to our financial sys-
tenn. Will the amiRble editor Of that
journal respond? We shall see.
The text for the editorial in the
Nescs is the following from the Chi
cago Sentinel:
The national banking system permits man to
draw interest on $4,000 when he has but 900
actually invested. In other words, he invests
$4,000 in government bonds, but he no sooner
does 80 than Uncle Sam hands him over $4,000
IN national bank notes. These he can use the
same as mOney-just the same as the money he
invested In the bonds. He loans Uncle Sam S5O,.
900; Uncle Sam gives him back S45 900, and Stlll
pays him interest on the fun original loan.
Practically he leaves but 5000 with Uncle Sam,
and Uncle Sam is such fool Anancler as TO go
on paying him interest on $4,000 No wonder
the money sharks and their tools and organs
lose no opportunity in trying 70 convince the
people that the national banking system ls the
best the world ever saw. IL Is the best, too-for
the sharks. Under no other scheme that we are
aware OF can man do q $4,000 cash busl-
ness with capital Of $4,000, or draw inter-
est upon 100000 by an actual investment Of but
5000.
Commenting on the above the
Nesus has the following:
The Peoples party is opposed to the national
bank circulation, because the banks are making
too much money out OF It, while the national
banks are down on the circulation scheme be-
cause they are loOslng too much money by 1t,
The banks are compelled by law to take out
certain amount OF circulation, and this clrcula-
tion they are not permitted 70 secure by any
Kind OF securities except government bonds.

paid will be net loss, as the government will only

We have few inquiries to pro-

licit an early reply:
If 'the national banks are down on
the circulation scheme because they
are losing too much money by it,"
why are they so anxious for the con-
tinuation of the system? Deprive
those banks Of their right to issue
money and they yet possess all the
privileges of other banking institu-
tions. These privileges are indeed
extended; because national banks are
prohibited from making certain in
vestments which other banks do
make, and these investments are
based ON the very best security in
the country.
AT the recent meeting of the secre-
tary of the treasury with the Wall
street bankers, for the purpose of
conferring upon the question of re-
demption of the Al per cent. bonds
soon to become due, those bankers
manifested willingness to carry the
bonds after maturity at II or 2 per
cent. Why is this?
We will suggest to the Ne1cS that
the whole profit arising from the ma
tional banking system is not limited
to the interest upon it's bonds, or upon
the issue of national bank currency.
The power which the system affords
to control the volume of the circulat-
ing medium is more dangerous
power and a more profitable source
of Pavenue than ayAn the dOubla in
terest received.
As an offset to the plea that the ma
tionsl banking system is Improbable
we submit the following official re-
port of Hon. VIM. H. English of In
diana, president Of a national bank at
Indianapolis, Ind, to the stockholders
Of the bank.

prise. The bank has been In operation fourteen

destroyed bills. The Items Of profit are as fol-
lows:

This is the discount the govern
ment made good to the bondholder
by the law of 1869; and this same law
in connection with that of 1873 is
what raised these bonds to premium
and added still other millions to the
profits Of the millionaire bankers.
In closing this article we desire to
call the attention of the NelrS to the
following official figures representing
the items of government expenditures
and receipts during the war:

The advocate., 1891-06-17

Bear in mind these officers are also
stockholders and these salaries must
be added TO the other profits Of the
business. This appears to be nearly
equal to farm profits.
But there are other features pre-
sented in the extract from the NeUs
which deserve attention. II is shown
that 100000 Of government bonds
are worth from $125,OOO to $13O,OOO
in the market, and il is argued from
this that their deposit with the treas
ury department as security for ns-
tional bank issue is done at a sacrifice.
II this be true why are these bankers
SO anxious to continue the system? Is
there any law compelling them to
make the sacrifice? Why do they not
close up this Improbable business
and withdraw their bonds from the
treasury The people are certainly
not asking them to make these great
sacrifices.
The fact that the government bonds
are above par suggests a few inquir-
les with regard to the reason why
they command a premium, and who
has profted by their appreciation.
These bonds were originally sold by
the government at a discount of from
80 to so per cent. and paid for in
greenbacks. By the acts providing
for their issue they were made pays-
bic in "lawful money of the United
States" the interest only being paya-
bic in gold. At the time Of their
issue lawful money of the United
States included gold, silver and treas
ury notes such as were given in pay
ment for the bonds. Blythe so-cslled
credit-strengthening act of 1869 the
terms of the contract were changed,
and the bonds were made payable in
coin; and by the demonetization of
silver in 1873 there remained but one
kind of money in which they could
be paid, and that money was gold.
In 1869 Senator Beck, upon the floor
of the United States Senate, said:
1t can be shown by the treasurer's reports,
from year to year, giving the amount Of bonds
sold each year, and the premium on gold from
1862 to 1869, that the purchase Of the bonds with
paper at It's face value, and the purchase of the
paper at the discounts, gave profit to the bond
holders as follows:

1t thus appears that there were
actually issued by the government
$734, ,541,357 more than was required
to defray all the expenses of the
period under consideration, exclusive
of bonds.
In a former publication of these
figures in which simply the total issue
of money was named-the itemized
amounts and kinds not being quoted
an error occurred by including the
issue of state banks, which of course
did not belong to the government.
Now we would ask the Neags for
the following information relative to
to this matter.
First, Who got the $734,541,357
which was issued in excess of the en-
tire expenses of the government?
Second, If sufficient money of va
rious kinds was actually issued to pay
all expenses, as the official figures
show, why the necessity of any in
terest bearing bonds?
Third, If the fiat of the govern
ment makes bond sell at a premium,
why will not the same fiat MAINTAIN
a greenback at part
We hold that the facts and figures
above presented show the govern
ment bonds to be a clean steal from
from first to last, and the banking
system based upon these bonds a
fraud upon the public; and we defy
the Ne1uS to controvert any Of the
The advocate., 1891-06-17

This is certainly fair showing, and
affords no special reason for national
bankers to desire the abolition of the
system.
But there is also another feature
worthy of notice in this matter of
profits. The officers of these institu-
tions receive salaries on an average
"a follows.
