The Farmsrs,Wheat Bank.

The Chicago Herald, democratic.
commenting on the latest scheme OF
farmers alliance for running an extern
sive system of sub-treasuTy banks says:
''If it can be generally introduced and
made to work, the country may be
supplied with money equal to the
wants of trade, say a thousand TO
fifteen hundred millions every fall.
The inventors propose to set their ma
chine running in Kansas first, because
there is a prospect of an immense
wheat crop there, and harvesting will
begin soon. They propose to push the
business in other states as fast as pos
sible.
mo doubt the inventors are aware
of tie fact that there is law of the
United States levying a tax of 10 per
cent on all paper issues for circulation
other than those authorized by congress.
Probably they expect to eVade this law
by calling their issues checks instead
of notes. But calling them checks
does not alter their real character.
Although issued in the form of checks,
the single Endorsement to bearer will
fit them for general circulation, and if
they do circulate, any bank paying
them out after they have received this
Endorsement will be liable to pay the
tax. Therefore no bank can safely
receive them on deposit as cash or
otherwise than for collection. 1t will
te no more safe for alliance banks
than for any others to receive them,
because they as much as any others
will be liable to tax if they pay them
out. 1t is safe to say that other banks
will not receive them on deposit and
take the risks. The promoters of the
scheme seem to have an inkling of this,
for one of them is reported as saying
that the other banks will probably
oppose it 1.-THE schemel because it will
do away with their high rates of in
terest.' They must oppose it to the
extent of declining to accept the
checks, or run the risk of having a 10
per cent tax to pay,
"When the inventors find themselves
directly confronted with this difficulty
their next move will be for the repeal
of the 10 per cent tax. If that shallbe
proposed next winter we shall know
exactly what it MEANS"

A Model Range.

There have been many of the "Home
Comfort steel ranges sold in Dickin-
son county and from what we can learn
they have all given unbounded satisfac-
ton. Not only are they good bakers
but they save fuel as they will heat a
large amount of space as well as do the
cooking. Made Of malleable iron and
steel the "Home Comfort" ranges are
out of danger of warping or breaking
and last many years longer than those
of any other make. Many in Dickin-
son county have been in use for years
without dollar spent for repairs,
We speak from experience when we
say that the "Home Comfort" is all
that its name implies. One of Dick
itson counUy's leading farmers truth
fully says: "The Home Comfort Range
has proven all and even more than the
salesman claimed for it. We would
not part with it if we could not get
another. We can conscientiv1sly rec
Ommend them to our neighbors and
friends"

GALL FOR FUNDS,

The Secretary of the Peoples Party Re
quests Substantial Response.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 24.-The first
public call for money for campaign
purposes comes from the new political
party. Every peoples party paper
in the state this week will publish
card from Robert Schilling, secretary
of the national committee of the peo-
pies party, urging liberal contribu-
tons to a campaign fund It is ad-
dressed to "All friends of political re-
form"
In this call Mr. Schilling declares
that the peoples party has been formed
under the most favorable auspices and
gives promise of an early emancipation
from the thralldom of the money pow
er. But this emancipation cannot be
secured" says Mr.. Schilling, without
special and extraordinary effort, requir-
ing large outlay in the preparation of
documents, in arranging meetings and
for other legitimate and proper pur-
poses. To this end every earnest friend
of political and economic reform, and
every reform organization, is urged to
OOAlEADulC dl OuCC anu IDCEdL4N- OOA I
delay a moment Send the money
now. Bring the matter up in your or
CARNATIONS at once. A few dollars
contributed now when the preliminary
work is to be done may do more good
than hundreds of dollars just before
the elections when it is too late to or
ganize and agitate."
The secretary closes by urging that
all contributions be sent to HIM
The expenses of the Kansas state
central committee last fall were less
than 81, 200. The campaigns have here
tofore been carried on through the Sc
cret societies, which have borne their
own expenses When the fall picnics
begin the farmers in this state will use
the same methods of raising money
that are so popular in the churches.
There VIII be voting booths and rafies
while the rent from the various stands
and merry-go-rounds VIII be turned
into the general campaign fund.

A Test of the Deering.

The firm of Pisle s. Fisher ran new
Deering binder into the handsome
wheatfield of Samuel Lands near the
fair grounds last evening. Mr.. Lam
dis is farmer who farms scientifically
and his wheatfeld is daisy. The
binders work, which was witnessed
by REFLECTOR representative, was
certainly all that could be desired.
Those who are familiar with the
Deering machines will notice each year
some new appliances, contributing to
the convenience of the operator or the
better working of the machine. In
the Deering works skillful inventors
are constantly employed to originate
such new devices, and special mechan-
les are always ready to make a practi-
cal. application of each new idea; but
before any new appliance is adopted it
must :pass through the severest tests
and prove an unqualified success in
actual field work.
The Deering Junior Steel binder for
1891 is the very latest result of all the
experience and all the skill acquired
in many years of unrivalled success in
building self-binders. In draft, even
ness of work, fine balance of all the
parts and the perfect mechanical
adaptability of all parts of the
machine it has no superior.
There is sound mechanical and prac-
tical reason for the use of every form
and shape of steel in the construction
of this frame and all working parts of
the machine. There are hundreds of
the Deering machines used in the
county and everyone gives satisfaction.
The work accomplished this morning
should prove conclusively the machines
ability and there isevery reason to con-
slider it a model.
Plsle & Fisher are having a large run
on the Deerings and the indications
are that many more will be sold.

The Ohio republicans have set an
example to the party that it may well
follow in every state and in the coun-
try at large. Their unanimity and
enthusiasm will be a chilling surprise
to the Oyer-confdent democrats who
for seven months have beer predicting
that the landslide of last November
was proef that the republican party
is on the point of disruption, and that
democratic victory next year is among
the certainties. Ohio will lead this
year as she has in many years past
and if the spirit which animates the
republican party there now continues
through the campaign, another victory
will be added to the long list the repub-
licsns of that state have TO their credit,
and the pathway to a national victory
in 1892 will be blazed and made
straight.

The Wichita Eagle says that the hay
crop of Kansas this season if all cut,
cured and marketed would pay off tie
entire Indebtedness of the state. That
is an easy statement to make, for the
cash and available funds on hand will
now more than pay the state debt.
But the wheat crop of Kansas, if it can
be properly harvested and sold Cor rs
cents per bushel, would pay off all the
county, city, township and school dis
trict bonds and floating debt in the
state

Concerning the worm which has been
found in some sections in the wheat
Prof. Snow says, nothing can be done
to prevent injuries to the crop. The
preventive measures with reference
to the next crop appear to be burning
or the destruction of the stubble which
will destroy the insect in the straw,
also the burning of the surplus straw
in the spring. Secondly, an occasional
rotation of crops" The Kansas idea
of raising % consecutive wheat crops
upon the field is the agricultural equi-
valent of suicide.

AS to County High Schools.

Up in Jefferson and Jackson counties,
we understand, there is considerable
discussion going on regarding the advis-
Utility of voting bonds for county high
schools in the respective counties.
Dickinson is the only county in the
state that has had experience in this
line and is qualified to give little
advice to its neighbors. 1t is safe to
say that no Investment ever made by
this county has been better than our
county high school. From the opening
of the school September 1889 its at
tendance and influence have steadily
grown; additions have been built to
the building, new teachers have been
employed, until the school has become
the pride of the county. During the
term just closed the enrolment reached
over $50, nearly every student being
from the country districts and perhaps
half being those intending to teach in
the county schools. The students are
those who would in many cases have no
no higher education and they take an
honest pride in their school and its
work.
The REFLECTOR has watched the
work of the high school closely and
can assure the other counties of the
state that they will make no mistake
in having a county high school.

Eastern wooden mills in the current
year have used nearly One-half more
wool than in 1890 in the same time.
and the consumption of wool in Amer
lean mills will be larger in 1891 than in

one-half larger. 1t is nonsense under
these conditions to quote few isolated

on earth why an interloper e one or

There are thousands of competent men
