Horner's Banking BiII-No. 10.
Mr.. EDITOR: l must be excused
for referring again to Secretary
WINDOWS great money speech, as
1 wish to make further comments.
He tells us plainly what an AM
erican currency should be to avoid
coming disaster. repeat, it must
be sound in quality, adequate in
quantity and elastic of volume to
adjust itself to the varying neces-
sites of the people" He further
states, "could such q medium be
secured the grave commercial dis
asters which threaten our future
might be averted."
The Secretary's opportunities for
acquiring financial information
have been great and powerful
enough to convince bim that AM
erica requires different system of
money than the cast-iron system"
she now has. His ideas seem clear
as to what kind of a currency is
there required, but his ideas were
not clear as to money system
that would produce that kind of
currency, or no doubt he would
have given 1t to the world at the
time he made his great speech.
However he has left an idea, viz:
That the United States bonded
debt should be IN part exchanged
for an incontrovertible bond bear
ing low rate of interest and always
interchangeable at the will of the
people," This interchangeable
bond is DoUBLY provided for
in "Horner's Banking Bill"
and has been incorporated in
his money system since 1874,
but a part of it is there called
certificate of deposit" not an Sin
terconvertable bond" We think it
would make no difference to the
permanent money supply of ma
ton, whether it be "bond" draw
ing low rate of interest and con-
vertable into money at the will of
the holder, or certificate of de-
post" drawing low rate of inter-
est and payable on demand in
public money, the mere name does
not change the principle of the
transaction. So, if the "bond" or
the Certificate" referred to above,
would be good to ingraft upon the
money systems of America to pre-
vent grave commercial disasters"
it would be good for the industrial
development of these Islands, and
good for the people of all civilized
countries to keep business alive
and prevent money panics.
There is no difference between
the Secretary and the above bill as
to the advantages of an inter
changeable bond for regulating the
money supply of nation, but the
difference between the way the
Secretary suggests for getting up
the bond, and the way this bill
provides for it, are so marked that
little criticism seems necessary.
The Secretary commences his
task by changing part of the
Government bonded debt into inter-
changeable bonds bearing "a low
rate of interest" After this work
is done the bonds would be inter-
changeable for money at the will
of the holder. This could only
be done by those who held
that part of the bonded debt
selected by the Government
to become interchangeable. The
government would undoubtedly
have to perform the labor and beal
the expense Of the exchange anC
get nothing in return.
1t Is supposed the Secretary sees
some way to persuade bond
holder to change his bond drawing
a large interest for an intercon

President Rucker. of the North
Dakota Worlds Fair Commission,
said the following regarding our
state to Minneapolis reporter the
other day:
"We showed the Chicago crowd
that we are hustlers" said Mr.. Ruck-
er. "North Dakota was the third
state to secure its location. Illinois
and Iowa are the only ones ahead of
us. We get beautiful site. After
thoroughly looking over the field
and getting all possible information.
We visited Jackson park and secured
site near the island lake. There
are a number of fine trees on our
acre of ground and it can be made
one of the most attractive spots in
the park and it will be. We shall
put up wheat Palace at state head
quarters. In it there will be novel.
ties and all sorts of interesting and
suggestive objects. On the grounds
about the building we shall have a
geological garden. Our appropri.
alton is $4,000, but that will be in
creased by subscription to 100000
probably. The national commits
sioners gave us the privileges of the
floor and we are accorded every fa-
cility for obtaining desired informa-

The twenty-second volume of the
Columbian Cyclopedia is announced
as just ready; the entire set is to be
completed the present year, in So
volumes, aggregating about 26 900
pages. Its price is remarkably cheap
only $4,000 for the entire set, with
easy installment terms to those who
want them. The high character of
the work is vouched for by innumer-
able witnesses, among others by
Prof. James Strong, S. I. D.,
editor of McClintock & Strong's
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Ecclesiastical
and theological literature, who speaks
of it as follows:
"The Columbian Cyclopedia seems
to me to strike happy medium be-
tween the loose superficial works,
and the too elaborate and profound
ones, which few are competent or
desirous of using, Most of the
larger general cyclopedias are over
loaded with a mass of technical
science and official detail that is en-
barassing and entirely useless to
the ordinary render. The Col
umbian is eminently practical, suffi-
GENTLY full and carefully compiled,
we'll got up, convenient in form and
extent, remarkably cheap cheap, and
as should judge, admirably adapt
to families and general consultation.
! think that if properly presented to
the public it will have very wide
sale, and be an exceedingly useful
work., There is ample room for a
cyclopedia like this, which combines,
likewise, the advantage of being an
excellent dictionary of the English
language"

steady rise in wheat revives the hopes
Of the English farmer. adding that
wheat will probably reach the high
est price in many years, the principle
cause being the failure of foreign
crops. The wheat crops of France
and Russia are much below the aver
age and the deficiency will be at
least 2o,ooo,ooo quarters. 1t is ex-
pected that the cold winds and frosts
have almost destroyed the French
crop; Germany, Holland and Belgium
all furnish pessimistic reports. In
Roumania there is decrease in the
wheat area, and in India there has
been bad wheat season. Whatever
the magnitude Of the American crop
may be it will not be sufficient to
cover the European deficit. thus COM
pelllng extensive drafts upon reserves

The Standard in conclusion says 'sthe
increased home consumption, de.
creased wheat area, owing to
the spread ofpopulation and the re-
course to scientific tillage in order te
repair the waste of first settlers, thu.

We have got a kick coming on

full manner in which the United
States mail is handled when it i,

Last Saturday evening one of the
Cooperstown mail sacks was sopping
wet, together with its contents and
most Of the the mail matter had to be
thrown out as it was all reduced to
pulp and could not be distributed.
A great many patrons of the Office
were obliged to go without their
papers on this account, and the post
master is the one who gets the cuss--
ing and not the railroad. This
thing ought to be remedied. 1t is a
frequent occurrence at Sanborn that
when the mail is fired from the train
it is scattered along the track
and on the prairie for about a mile,
sometimes reposing in a nice mud
hole. A progressive, head con

One Of the Canadian immigration
agents has entered Minnesota and
was at Moorhead the other day,
arranging to work the Red River
Valley counties. This fellow will
hardly find any farmer in that region
who will leave the rich soil of the
valley to plant himself in Alberta des-
olation, where the only crop will be
tears and Disappointment. The Can
adams may as we'll go elsewhere to
look for a popnlation.-MinneaI
oils Journal, April 9TH, 1891.
Right in line with this, word comes
to us on the wings Of the winds that
there are two persons at present in
Griggs and neighboring counties who
are trying, by means of enticing
promises, to induce our people to
leave one of the best countries under
the sun for the poor man, to settle
in nothing more or less than Can
andian desert. These persons, one
of whom is we'll known in Griggs
county, having had interests here,
are working in the interests of tie
Canadian Government and the Can
adian Pacific Railroad, their bust
ness being to entice farmers to leave
North Dakota and go to Alberta,
which is part of the Canadian North
west. The inducements they held out
to the farmers are free passage, 100
of land and stock and seed for enc
year. Very aliuring prospects are
they not? Now what does a victim
get after he has pulled up stakes
here, sold everything he had and
arrived at this promised land of
milk and honey? Simply nothing!
He gets the the privilege of filing on
100 acres of the poorest land in
America where they were never
known to raise crop of wheat that
was not frozen, and there they are
stranded in a strange country,
without money or credit and are
either obliged to accept 100 acres of
this poor land and start farming, or
go back whence they came. Farm
ers, do not be gulled by these i'm
migration agents! Do not swallow
these gilded and sugar-coated prom
ises without thought. We do not
ask you to take our individual word
but thoroughly investigate the prom
ises made by these fellows and you
will speedily come to the conclusion
that we are right and that they are
frauds. Even with a scant crop
you are a thousand times better off
here today than you would be in
that Canadian desert, and with a
good prospect before you could ill
afford to lose all you have by ac-
cepting their offers. If they broach
the subject to you do not stop your
seeder or your plow but tell them
you are onto their racket and that
North Dakota is good enough for
you as compared with the country
for which they are trying to work up
a boom.

Colonel Edwards collector of Gus
toms at Minneapolis, says 'tFree
sugar will save the state of Mime
sofa $1,3oo,ooo in the next year"
That is the direct result of the
much dreaded Mckinley bill. And
yet our western farmers, swallowing
without sugar all the democratic tany
last fall, tore their hair and shouted
down with the Mckinley bill. In
1892 it will be different. The Nc
Kinley bill will be the most popular
bill in existence.

move along steadily and smoothly.
