MORTGAGE STATISTICS.

The count OF the home transcripts. made
In accordance with the mortgage collCc-
tion clause OF the census act, has been
completed by the census Office. There
are returned by the enumerators s,49I,95o
farms and homes occupied by owners,
which are ,neunbered BY mortgages.
This includes some, about which the
enumerators made no report, and which
belong partly to ,he class of hired and
partly 10 the class owned free, as we'll as
partly to the class owned AMI incumbered.
Until this unknown quantity. due to the
failure of the enumerators, Is eliminated,
1t may be regarded as approximately true
that two and quarter millions Of twelve
and half million families OF the Uuitrd
States occupy and own encumbered farms
an1 homes, aud that ten and a quarter
million families occuP, farms and homes,
either hired or owned free. The prelim-
mary results lndiease that the average
debt per iarm In Iowa Is SI2S3 per home
S7I0 and the average for farm aud home
$II4o. I:these averages hold good for
the Union the encumbrances Of farms and
homes of the Unitedetates occupied by
owners, Is about 81 55s,ooo,ooo

Democrats In the farmers alliance have
an excellent opportunity to do educational
work that Is much needed, and Il thUse
who need the education are sometimes
refractory there Is the more reason for
patience and perseverance. Democrats
In the alliance may take It for granted that
II will be beset by refuse politicians from the
garbage heaps Of both parties. and that Il
will have an assorted variety of wild or
corrupt schemes thrust on It. But this
need not make any difference. None of
these schemes can stand under discussion,
and Il will not be long before the political
trieksters will be exposed. Democrats
who joined the alliance under eons,itu-
ton guaranteeing them freedom of politi-
cal action have only to stay In II and
support the constitution. II would be
worse than useless to draw out and form a
new organization In any locality where
the attempts is made through the alliance
to dictate their political action. II they
are democrats they are not likely to be
tossed about by every wind of strange
political doctrine. The great advantage
of democratic principles is that It enables
the plain people who are not political
economists to see what Is just and wise Ia
government. Every democrat Is thus
fitted TO do missionary work, and demo
Gratis in the farmers alliance have no'a-
BILE opportunity for II. The alliance In
the West Is very largely composed of mea
who have been republicans; who are now
disgusted with that party, and, being so,
are In fair way to realize great increase
IN political usefulness. But naturally they
cannot escape immediately from all their
republican preJudices. From these they
can be weaned only by education and
patience. II, as result Of such prejudice
or ignorance, the attempt Is made to use
the alliance to compel democrats TO sup.
port I'M democratic measures or 10 vote Tor
political adventures, all there Is to be
said is that the man who has the first
instinct of democracy in him Is his own
master In poliu:s and will vote his own
principles for the men WHO represent
them.
The alliance has been taken bodily into
politics and It will 20 wrong on some
points of great importance, but on the
whole it Is doing great deal of good by
the agitation IL is eifeeting, and whether OF
not democrats are members of It they
have no reason to check this agitation as
long as II is mainly directed against rePnb-
lican policies. What the alliance needs
from democrats is assistance and dlrec-
ton, not obstruction or opposition. st

a MAN OF SENSE.

Thomas Barrett, an Englishman, the
proprietor Of the famous Pears soap says:
"American advertising, said Mr. BSrretb
costs thirteen per cent. more than Eng
lish advertising, and by your high tariff
you keep millions of dollars worth of
patronage out of your papers which you
would otherwise get. Unless a foreign
manufacturer Is making an article of such
superior excellence that 1t will in Itself
command patronage, il hardly pays him to
cater for American trade. This Is not
because the American newspapers are not
good mediums, but because your govern
ment endeavors to take the bulk of the
manufacturers profits, can make a
high quality OF soap more cheaply than
you can In America, because my expenses
for material are lower. aud can get labor
for lower wage, because my laborers, in
their turn, can buy clothes, food, soap
and house ren, at loves prices than yours
can. II YOUR laborers make higher wages
they do not, as a class, live In any greater
comfort. and your protectionists seem TO
forget that while they are keeping out OF
the country large amount OF foreign
manufactures, thev are also keeping out
a proportionate amount of foreign money,
which wouli otherwise be spent in adyer-
tising and pushing those goods"

A nueE EFFORT.

The Baker City Blade, republican, says:
Providence seems to be on the slide OF
the American farmer this year. Abund-
ant crops are tie rule throughout America
and the fact that the cereal crops are
almost failures In Russia and India, which
have been referred to as Eutope's grana-
rics, makes Il certain that the American
farmers will be able to get big prices for
their products. The farmers are to he
congratulated, for they have had hard
time for several years, but the turn has
nov come, and thanks to the Mckinley
tariff law and the big crops, they are to
pcrity. Republican legislation did not
make the big crops, but, by enhancing
the price OF farm product, Il enabled the
farmers TO get the full benefit of those
big crops.
WHAT huge effort Is here made to In
duee people to believe that the price of
wheat Is to be attributed to the good
effects of the Mckinley Bill. "rhanks to
the Mckinley tariff law" indeed. win
the Blade or any other blind follower Of
the scheme of proteetionlsm tell us how |,
is that the Mckinley tariff law can affect
the price of wheatI Such stuff as the
above Is given out by republican papers
all over the country to allay the growing
diseontent springing up among the farm
ers OF that party. That Is all there Is OF

WASHINGTON, Aug 4.--A statement has
been prepared at the treasury department in
regard TO the amounts Of money Ia circulation
on the FIRST Of July, 1861, 1865, 1885, 1880
and 1891, from which Il appears that the as
sertion that there has been since the war a
great reduction in the amount Of money IN
circulation Is without foundation, All the
statements furnished age made up on precisely
the same baSis-the amount Of each kind OF
money In the trcasury-and the remainder is
given as the amount in circulation. The
amount of money in circulation in 1860 was
about $4,000, 900, and ,ha amount per
capita was sI5 SIS, In 1865 there was S7a5.-
600, 600 in circulation, and the per capita
amount was sac 81, Twenty years later the
circulation was over SI,aos, 900, 600, and the
per capita was SaS os, while ON the first OF
January last the amoane was nearly 81, Sao.-
100000 with Ss4 10 as the per capita allow

A Georgia farmer has started new industry
in grewing beavers for their skins. Since the
prospective failure Of the seal fisheries beaver
skins are the next best substitute Tor seals
lie owns 1909 acres up and down a creek
which is 4 natural home for the beavers. In
summer they scatter each one for himself but
in winter they come together in their homes
beside the streams where they have damned
the water lie grows corn to feed them, and
finds that they eat i as readily as hogs. Most
Of the lime they forage for themselves, but
feeding makes them tame and easily caught.
The beaver breeds rapidly, two TO iix in
litter. and often two li,ters in a year. The
skin Of the beaver is now worth $40 each,
and next season he expects to furnish between
zoo and 200 skins from surplus m1les, leaving
the young and breeding females TO increase
the flock. The flesh Of the beaver, properly
cooked, is an excellent food.
