OMAHA, Neb Aug 20. The financial
straits of Gould's Union Pacific in

day. and big sensation in COM
mercial circles was the result A CON
Ecrnce was held in the private office Of
L. l.. Kimball third vicc.presideLt OF
the Union Pacific and president Of tho
Union Depot company, between that
gentleman and n committee OF the city
council, appointed for the purpose Of
finding out what could be done toward
getting work started on the new depot.
Mr., kimball informed the gentlemen
that the Union Depot company had no
funds with which TO complete tho
work, even were there no other obsta.
cles in the way, This was explained
by tho statement that the money raised
on the bonds of the Union Depot com.
pany, issued last fall, had been diverted
to meet the running expenses OF tho
Union Pacific and burlington roads
and was gone beyond recall There
was no way TO GOT il back, and tho
only thing to do would be for the two
companies To go TO work and put back
the amount used up, This would re-
quire time and might not be success.

GETTING RICHER EVERY YEAR.
The Increase Of Wealth in the United
States since 1880

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.--The census
bureau to-day issued bulletin on the
assessed valuation of real and person
. al property of the several States and
Territories. The valuations are shown
for the years 1880 and 1890, with the
exception of Michigan, which is for
1886, and of Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa,
Mississippi, New Mexico, Washington,
and Wyoming, which are for 1899.
the bulletin shows that the assessed
value of all property has in creased
from SIG, 902 ,993, $40 in 1850 to S24,-
2+9, $50, s04 in 1890, an increase during
the decade of S7,346, 500, POI, an amount
equivalent TO the true value of all
property as returned by the United
States census in 1850 ($7, 1876, $50, 23S.)
Should it be found, upon the com
pletion of the inqui in relation to
the tue value of all property in the
United States that tn, same relation
exists in 1890 between assessed valua-
ton and true valuation as existed in
1880, the absolute wealth of the United
States, according to the eleventh cen
sus NAV be estimated at S62, CT 0, 900. 900,
or nearly $1,000 per capita, as against
S514 per capita in 1869, $3.50 per capita
in 1870 and $50 per capita in 1850.
The State of Illinois shows an APP
parent decrease of 9,20),1 lag because
the State board of equalization de-
clares that in 1850 the assessed value
was 80 per cent and in 1890 only rs per
cent of the true value.

SONS OF VETERANS IN CAMP.
The Order Well Represented at
Minneapolis

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Aug. 26.-The
tenth annual encampment of the Sons
of Veterans has begun in this city with
about five thousand members of the
order in attendance.
Commander Webb furnishes the fol-
lowing statistics in advance of his an
hual address; During the year 1923
members have been taken in; $50 ne w
camps, with 1890 members, were
mustered in. The actual mem bership
of the order to-day is quite 10000
Mr.. Webb outlined as the
most important business to come
before the commandery at this session
certain proposed changes in the ritual
and constitution. The age limit for
membership will be changed from is to
2l Then the military feature of the
order will be divorced from the civic
feature, so that it will bear about the
same relation to the work of the order
Us the military degree of the Knights
of Pythias does to the subordinate
lodge.
The active camps now in the city and
to come will te quartered IN tents at
Minnehaha Falls, near the State Sol,
eiers' home. This has been christencd
Camp Webb and is already largely
populated.
One of the matters to come before
the commandery that is lik ly to pro-
woke lively discussion is the demand
of Col. w. 5. Payne of Fostoria, Ohio,
for reinstatement Payne was com
mander-in-chief in 1906, but was dis
honorably discharged for misuse of the
orders funds.

REPUBLICAN TRUTHS.
The Trial Goes o..

Said Roger @. Mills IN his Texas
speech Mt Iowa City tho other day;
sou, shipments are falling of because
our importations are falling on, I"
Mr. Mills made that declaration in
partisan argument In tho course OF
the now celebrated case, Facts vs..
Falsehoods.
Tho facts, as tho Official figures
demonstrate, are that our importations
are not falling or, and our shipments
are not falling olf-~just exactly the
opposite to the representation made
by Mr.. Mills,
During tho last seven months, under
the new tariff law. the imports into
the United States have increased $22,.
100000 and tho exports s2S, 900, 600,
as compared with tho corresponding
seven months OF last year under the
old tariff
When you place Mr.. Mills argu-
ment alongside OF tho facts IL amounts
TO this: "0ur shipments (Which are
enormously increasingly are falling of
because our importatlons (Which are
also enormously increasingly are fall
Ing on
This is the sort oil argument which
'the fiery free trade orator" rs he
has been called, was summoned by tie
democratic managers out OF the super
nal civilization OF the solid South to
address to the benightcd donizcns Of
Iowa.
Why did Mr. Mills fnlsify the situa-
tionp Why did no msrepresent the
factsp Why did no assert what Is pre-.
csely contrary to the truthp Because
TO acknowledge the truth now would
DO to admit that no denied 1t when tho
tariff was pending in congress and in
the last campaign, Because MIR. Mills
and almost the whole army Of domo-
cratic leaders are fearful OF being OK
posed In the elaborate conspi 'acy
which they have concocted against the
truth.
Mr.. Mills in the last congress and
In the last campaign declared that the
new tariff bill was general and n
prodigious increase OF duties---that 1t
was therefore "infamous. They then
told the people that the result would
certainly be TO curtail our foreign
commerce. destroy and "prohibit"
foreign commerce, rs they putt. For
this reason they called 1t "a Chinese
WALL"
Mr.. Mills Is reluctant TO admit now
that what he SAID then was untrue,
that tho tariff has not operated to de-
stroy or TO prohibit foreighn trade,
In other words he IL reluctant TO nd
nit the facts.
But during tho Same time, accord
Ing to the editorial statement OF the
London ST. james Gazette last Mon
day, "there has been u great decline In
exports from Great Britian".-t that Is
TO say, tho aggregate exports from
Great Britain tot the countries OF South
America and all the world.
How would IL be TO apply Mr.. Mills
logic to the situation In Great BritainP
While the foreign commerce OF tae
United States under the new tariff has
enormously increased, the foreign
commerce Of Great Britain, during the
same period, under tariff for revenue
only has decreased. Great Britain Is
our grent commercial rival.
The trial OF tho case OF Facts vs..
Falsehoods is proceeding right mer-
rily. Sioux City journal.

salt TO ship us for nothing, 80 wo

mionest Money!

A correspondent requests the Times
to define the meaning Of the term
"Honest Money! 1t Is the world
monetary standard. 1t has u univer-
sal value In ever civilized land, and
even in half civilized lands, Tor the
heather, however lamenta5 bly, deficient
they may be In religion or morals, are
no way backward on the subject OF
hnance, SO far us circulating medium
Is concerned. Well, gold first, last
and all the time honest money tho
world over Next the currency Of
any country that has credit Is honest
money so long us there Is not an over
issue Of It, just so long as the silver
coin or paper currency Of this country
can DO kept at par with gold 1t is to
all intents nad purposes honest money.
Tho moment that We exceed these
bounds In tho coinage OF silver or the
issue Of paper so that gold rises TO "
premium. then the deprecated cur
roncy ceases TO be honest. Examples
OF the latter are quito common. Dur
Ing the first French revolution tho
government issued what was called
"assignats" which was nothing moro
or less than the printing and distri-
button OF cords OF paper which was
declared money md which tho people
Sere obliged to accept with the al
tentative OF bolng n head short II they
did not. These assignats were kept
up for while something near the
gold standard, but gradually sank I'M
I'll In 1896 n gold louis OF 20 francs
was worth $3.50 francs in assigna.s 3,
The continental money OF our own
country during tho revolutionary war
suffered similar depreciation. We
saw tho same thing inythis country
during the war OF the rebellion in
1861 IS. Daring that time our gov
crnmen. was strained TO tho utmost to
keep its paper currency ailoat ut my
figure. A gold dollar was worth,
toward tho close OF the war. some-
thing liks 1910 in grecnbacks. Had
We not boon successful these green
backs would have been worth nothing.
The latest example OF putting out
money that ls not honest Is witnessed
to-day In tho Argentine Republic.
South America, where $l,o0 in gold
Is quoted ut about $500 In paper.
just SO long az n nation can keep Its
currency floating on par with gold
such currency Is honest money.
When its volume OF Issue IL so great

Iowa's Prosperity.

The state and county debt Of Iowa
was at the rate OF $2. Is for each man
woman and child in 1880. In 1890 it
was $1.gl. The average rate for the
whole United States is 1888. The
rate in Kansas is $l1.01; in Colorado,
s12.73; IN Tennessee, $1l.l3; in Mon
tana, S15.l7; in Arizona, $4735. Iowa
Is financially in the best condition OF
any state in the Union. 1t is the best
for capital and people 10 come to.
Every citizen must see that the Re-
publican party has managed state
affairs economically, prudently and
wisely. And secondly that whatever
are the objections 10 prohibition, those
opposed to it weaken their case when
they attack the BUSINESS condition OF
Iowa rs proof of the disastrous work
ings of prohibition. The facts throw
all these pretences out OF the court
The material objection to prohibition
is that where there is large popular
demand for the daily and common sale
OF liquor it does not seem wise or prac-
ticabe TO make such sale where the
people do not make liquor demand. =

army is to be increased ms far as the
revenues will permit.
The symptoms of disturbance among
the peasantry of Southern Russia are
increasing, and bands of them are
prowling the woods, living on fruits
and what game they can capture.
Large numbers of the peasants have,
IL is said, persisted from want and by
the bayonets of the soldiery who have
been hunting down Instructions. OF
the insurgents who remain alive n
number have made their way into
Asiatic Turkey and will be found
in the event of war, fighting

Chords to send help to the suffering
people of the Ural provinces. The
stories from those provinces are fright

Health reports in Russia are usually
imperfect, but they show that the bal
baryests have already caused an alarm
ing increase of infant mortality. IL is
suggested by tho medical authorities
in Moscow that the increase is not to
lie accounted for wholly through acct

get rid of their children at periods

suspicious. Nothing has been done

The American Protective Tariff
Leagues correspondent, Mr.. j. G.
Grems, Maryville, Mo-, under recent
date, says: "The effect OF the McKin-
ley bill has shown itself in true light
TO the voters of this section. Last fall
they were ready to believe that the
row tariff would deprive the poorer
class OF the actual necessaries Of life;
only the wealthy could afford to buy
any article affected by the Mckinley
bill. But to the horror OF the demo-
crat, mugwump and alliance orators,
things are just the reverse; hardly an
article but what is cheaper, and the
price of all kinds OF home products adj
vanced, and the result Of our spring
election the reverse OF what it was
