been there for many years, without drawing

post amounted 10 oyer $50, 100000. This
$25, 1856, 699 should be taken from the banks

of business and in the fairness to the people.
Instead Of this The banks are permitted to
have the use ofthis amount for nothing, and
the people are to be compelled to pay in-
terest on the bonds that these deposits
should cancel. There is also $4,000, 600 of
silver bullion that has been held idle in the
treasury for the past five years that should
have been coined into money and paid on
these bonds. This has not been done for
the reason that the different Secretaries from
John Sherman down have steadily refused
to pay a dollar Of silver on the bonded
debt. Silver is good enough for the farmer,
the mechanic and the tradesman, but is not
good enough for the bond owner. If the
Secretary would do his duty and aid the
people instead of the banks, he would I'M

banks and the money made from this bull.

IS ample proof that the administration is in
the control of Wall street, and should be

ON the Down Grade.

Bradstreet gives the number of
failures for the first week of July at
228; for the second week ending

ing week in 1890, 1871; ia 1889, 10;
in 1888, 141 in 1887, 1862. Let any
business man consider these figures,

business is threatened by this lig-
ature of contracted and contract
ing currency. Those figures are a
fearful warning to every business
man. The least accident or slip may
precipitate him into bankruptcy. Tt
is time that every man who has any
manhood and independence in his
nature should assert it, by inquiring
what he shall do to save himself.
His turn to be crushed on the bank

Why do s'husiness" men stand
back and let the farmers make this
battle alone? The former are surely
in the greater danger Of the two
classes. IF the farmers are oyer
powered and forced down the form.
er's fate is inevitable. They cannot
survive the ruin of the farmers, and
should help in this struggle and be
prepared to take the side of the
farmers in the impending crisis,
which two years at most will pre-
cipitate upon the country. The same
class of doubters poo pooed the slave
holders rebellion and laughed at the
idea of war, but it broke upon the
country like thundar clap. The
struggle against monied aristocracy
is just as sure to come, and may re-
suit in an appeal to arms. They
have the government in their hands
and the nation by the throat, and
will not release the grip if they can
possibly hold it by force and fraud.

Secretary Foster and the Russian
Jews.

Was it a grim joke in the form of a
state paper, Secretary Fosters reply
to Simon Wolf and Lewis Abraham
who offered to furnish security
through the Hebrew Societies that
the Russian Jew if allowed to i'm
migrate to this country should not
become tenants of almshouses? In
the Secretary's reply he says;
You must see that these people
are employed. You must see that
they make return to the nation for
the sustenance offered them in it's
borders. And you must, moreover,
see that they are SO employed and
distributed as to supply. by positive
production, wants that are unsupplied
now"
The Secretary knows full well they
are not productive workers but trad
ers. Hence be offers a condition
that he knows cannot and would not
be complied with. But nevertheless
the societies may agree to the terms
which they will never try to enforce,
and couldn't if they would. If they
were productive laborers the Gear
would never want them to leave his
dominions. No country wants to
part with it's wealth producing class.
1t would be as wise to offer to send
away its gold and other products as
the labor which produces them.

The mortgage debt resting on the
farms of the country is ready for
publication but is being held back in
the census Office for fear of the effect
a knowledge would have on the
public and the probable influence on
the elections. 1t isreported that the
purpose Of the heads of the census
department is to keep it back till
after the next presidential election.
There are 100000 mortgages report
ed. but the aggregate sum of debt
they represent is not known. The
information is locked up in the CEN
sus office and is refused when applied
for.
The merchants should certainly be
on the side of their customers the
farmers, in this movement for bet
ter state. Any measure that will help
the laborer will directly benefit the
merchant as we'll. Business drags
because the people are SO oppressed
that they cannot afford to buy; and
are obliged to ask credit for even the
few necessaries which they are COM
PEELED to purchase. The merchants
know too that their business can
never flourish while this condition
prevails, why not come out on the
side of the people and aid in the work
Of removing the difficulties under
which every honorable occupation
languisbes.

capacity not Wanted.

After reciting the good showing
the report of the present Board OF
County Commissioners makes, the
Nesos adds:
at also will be conclusive upon
the question of the capacity of Dem.
ocratic Commissioners to properly
and wisely manage county affairs.
We congratulate tho Democratic
party of the county upon this show
ing, as in it is the assurance of con.
tinued control in county affairs
We submit that the democratic
party" as such had nothing to do
with it. There were three competent
and honest men who attended to
their business who deserve the
thanks, if q vote of that kind is to
be rendered. The three predecessors,
who were Republican party men,
made the same kind of record. No
man was ever made honest or com.
peteat by being Democrat or a Re.
publican, but a good many have
apparently been made rascals by
party connections. If the Demo
cratic party values these qualities
SO highly. why weren't they renomi-
mated? If we must trace effect back
to cause it would seem that the
Democratic party" would rather
not have sHch men, and dismisses
them as soon as found out.

The Bonds.
The following circular has been issued by
the Treasury Department:

the Treasury Department:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2, 1891.
In pursuance Of the reservation contained
in the circular of June 2, 1891, whereby the
bonds of the Az per cent loan were called
for redemption on and after the I'd day of
September, 1891, public notice is hereby
given that any Of the bonds of the said loan
may be presented at this office, on or before
the I'd day of September next, for contin-
uance during the pleasure of the govern
ment, with interest at the rate Of per cent
per anuum, in lieu of their payment at the
date above specified.
Bonds presented for continuance should
be accompanied by request substantially
10 the form herewith prescribed, and upon
the surrender of the bonds with such re-.
quest, the Secretary of the Treasury will
return to the owners registered bonds of the
same loan with the fact that such bonds are
continued during the pleasure of the gov
ernment, with interest at the rate of 2 per
cent per annum, stamped upon them in
accordance with this notice.
Upon the receipt of bonds 10 be contin-

ury for continuance the assignments being
duly dated and witnessed by one of the
officers indicated in the instructions printed
on the back Of each bond.
The Department will pay no expense of
transportation on bonds re ceived under the
provisions Of this circular, but the bonds
returned will be seut by prepaid registered
mail unless the owners otherwise direct.
CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary.
This is an outrage that demands careful
consideration and universal condemnation.
The amount of these bonds to be extended
is S50,S69 200, aud are due September /
1891. There has been paid as premium on
the per cent bonds that are not due until
1907 about $5s 100000, or IS, OOO, 900 more
than would have paid the entire bonds
which are to be extended. And this, TOO.
remember, was paid as gratuity to the
bond owners. Had this money been
reserved or paid out on the bonds to be
extended it would have saved the people

aoyernments Loaning Money.

The papers of the money kings
have been Mortified at the idea ad.
vanced by the Alliance that the Gov
eminent should loan money to indi-
viduals. They have declared that
such thing was unheard of and had
never been practiced at all, forget.
ting that corporations are indi.
viduals, and that the Government
has loaned money to banks and cor.
porations without interest on secur-
tiles which they deposited for money.
But leaving that instance out Of the
question, there are other instances
wher Governments have loaned
money to individuals. From 1851,
to 1860, Kentucky loaned money to
individual citizens and consider
able addition to the revenues of the
State accrued from the interests of
these loans. In 1859, the interest
collected by the State was $27,528.
All these loans were called in in
1861, and every dollar of them was
paid, SO that it does not follow as a
matter of course because money is
loaned, not to banking corporation,
but to an individual, and the secu-
rity is land, instead of Government
bonds that the money will not be
recovered.

Taxing Mortgages.

The commentator for the Baltimore
San on the constitutional changes, in
the sixth and last article combats the
taxation of mortgages on the old
ground of opposition which is that to
tax mortgages or the mortgage is to
drive capital out OF the state or pre-
vent if from being invested here.
The same argument applies with
equal force to every species of per-
sonal property and especially to
evidences of debt, such as prom isory
notes, stocks, etc. This is the strong
point made by the advocates of the
Henry George system of taxation.
By exempting all species Of personal
property from taxation is to invite it
to come into the state and increase
business and consequently the value
of fixed property of the state. The
franchises of natural monopolies
which have been given away by the
state would pay all the tax if utalized
as they might have been, and the
people IN their sovereign right should
reclaim them in spite OF the claim
set up of vested rights. That the
legislature of one generation should
give away the Inheritance of all fol.
lowing generations and along with
them the power of Fighting the wrong
without overthowing by force Of
arms the government is abused. And
this is exactly what they have done
To sell franchises for term of years
should be the utmost stretch OF the
power of legislatures.
