Some Things Said br senator Sherman,

Some Things Said by Senator Sherman.
On last Sunday morning the
Courier journal published an au-
thorized interview with Senator
Sherman. Commenting thereon,
says:
Among other things, tho Senator
upholds the Mckinley tariff as "the
most comprehensive and carefully
prepared revenue law we ever have
had on the statute books" In proof
of its merit, he cites the fact that it
"provides the largest measure of
free trade ever contained in tariff
law. Ye tin gods and little fishesl
Has it come to this-that the virtue
of a protective tariff is commensur-
ate with the amount of free trade it
provides? Senator Sherman thinks
that the Mckinley law may be
changed, but he believes that it's
principles will be maintained"
and that "free trade will be extend
ed as rapidly as our needs for rev.
enue will permit" For advocating
just such an extension, Democrats
have been denounced as their coun-
try's worst foes, subsidized by Brit
ish gold. Two or three years ago
the very term ''free trade" was, in
the Republican vocabulary, synony-
nous with "traitor." To-day we
are told by the Republican leader of
the Senate that the Republican tar
iff is good because it provides free
trade, and will be changed for the
better by making it provide all the
free trade the revenue requirements
of the Government will permit
No wonder Maj. Mckinley is try
ing to send the tariff issue to the
rear.

The Amount Deposited in West Virginia

Banks.
The KaRdicha Gazette saws that
State Bank Examiner, G. W. Young,
has just completed his first examin-
ation-of the banks of the State un-
der the new law. His examination
shows them all to be in prosper
ous condition, and his Investigations
show the people of the State to have
a considerable amount of the s'filthy
lucre" piled away for future use.
There are in the State, besides the
National banks, with which Mr.
Young mas nothing to do, 40 State
banks, 3 savings banks and trust
companies. There are also 2l Nat
ional banks. The State banks have
an aggregated capital ofs2, ,47O, ,S33.-
sc, all paid in; they have an aggre-
gate surplus of s519,71o.5s; their
deposits amount to SIS, s,16s, ,O93.S3
their loans amount to SIS, ,26s, ,27411;
and they own bonds to the amount
of s664, ,O9O.s3.
The 21 National banks at tho
time of the National Bank Examin-
er's last report, had an aggregate
capital of s2,176,OOO; a surplus of
$500, ,3O7.55; their deposits were s5,-
262, 2,2O9.23; their loans, So, Gle, ,O44.ss;
and they held bonds to the amount
of s1sO, ,36s.63.
These figures show a total bank
ing capitalin the State of s4,646,-
S43.66; with a surplus of 81 ,O4O,-
O1s.O6, or about 223 per cent. Tho
total amount of money deposited in
the banks Ofthe State is nearly four
teen millions of dollars, while tho
amount of money loaned out by the
banks is little closer to fourteen
millions.

may have been in the Southland,
with cute little negro boys playing
about the broad grounds with their
infant masters; it may have been a
rough cabin somewhere in the west,
but wherever it was, there the mind
fingers. There go the thoughts in
the quiet hours of the night, when
the cares ofa busy world have flown
till another sunrise. Besides the
old home there may be little
fenced plot on a hillside, green in
summer, brown in autumn, and obi
so drear in winterl Little white
head-stones may be there, and
around them may memories cling.
There was no sweeter moment in
my life than when 1 walked over
the moss, covered bricks under those
naples that 1 had grown up with.
