FARM MORTGAGES.

The Census Office Figures the Incum-
brances at Two and Half Billions.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The count of
the farm and home transcripts made in
accordance with the mortgage collec-
ton clause of the census act has been
completed by the office. The figures
are subject to slight notifications.
There were returned by the enumer-
ators 2,491 $50 farms and homes occupied
by owners which are incumbered by
mortgages. This number includes some
farms and homes about which the enum-
eratGrS made no report, and which be-
long partly to the class of hired and
partly to the class Of owned free, as
well as partly to the class of owned and
incu1nbered Until this unknown
quantity, due to the failure of the en-
umerarors, is eliminated, it may be
regarded as approximately true that
2,250,O0 families of the IL, 800, 900 fam
lilies of the United States occupy and
own unincumbered homes and farms,
and that 1O,25O, 900 families occupy
farms and homes that are either hired
or owned free.
The proportions of hired and owned
free homes will be known when the
population division completes the count
of the returns pertaining to them. The
preliminary results indicate that the
average debt for a farm in Iowa is ST.
2S3; hcme, $719: average for farm and
home, 81, ,140. If these averages hold
good for the Union the incumbrance on
the farms and homes of the United
States occupied by owners is about ST.
h65 O00. 900.

In an article under the head OF
''The Next President" the Chicago
Western Rural discusses the ques-
ton as to who will probably be the
candidates of the Republican and
Democratic parties in 1892. Of Mr..
Blaine the Rural says: 'Mr. Blaine,
whose name is so often mentioned
as that of the next Republican candi-
date, is man of splendid intellectual
powers and is afame with that pecu-
liar thing which we term personal
magnetism. Probably no other man
in the country has such large per
sonal following and could create in
his party so much of enthusiasm.
But personal following is not sufficient
to elect man president, with all his
power to arouse enthusiasm, Mr..
Blaine has large number of bitter
and influential enemies in the Repub-
licans party. His reciprocity policy
has unquestionally increased his pop
ularity and would draw to his support
some who have never before been
counted as among his supporters
Upon other questions which the peo-
pie are discussing, his position is well
known"

Two More Lines Break the Agreement
Regarding the Chicago and Alton.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Chicago and
Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk
railroad of Canada lifted the boycott
against the Chicago and Alton. This is
believed by some to be the beginning of
the end The Grand Trunk system was
the last of the Eastern roads to yield to
the pressure of the board of rulings,
having waited until May to sever its
relations with the Alton, while all the
other lines engaged in the boycott took

legislation against it us Canadian COM
petitor Of American roads.
The success Of the Alton in securing
G.. A. r., business for itself and the
Wabash load to Detroit has apparently
been an important factor in bringing
about the result. 1t is said that in many
parts of the West ticket agents have
banded themselves into q sort of secret
society for the purpose Of fighting the
enemies and favoring the friends of the
Alton. The prediction is made that not
a few of the Eastern lines will promptly
accept the opportunity afforded by the
Grand Trunk to abrOgate their agree

press has constantly asserted that the
Mckinley measure raised the average
tariff rate to higher figure than
ever and that it cut down the free list
indiscriminately. These lying state
ments served the Democratic party
well during the campaign of last fall.
But their day has gone by. The re-
port prepared under the unbiased
supervision of Uncle Sam leaves moth
ing to be said. Here is the exact
language of the statement; During
the nine months since the new tariff
went into effect, of the total value of
the merchandise imported into this
country, 1896 per cent. came in free,
while during the corresponding period
of 1890 1892 per cent. was admitted
free. In fact, it appears that the
value of merchandise imported free
during the last nine months of the
fiscal year was greater by S3O,ON,OU
than the value of such merchandise
admitted during the whole of 1890
and neasly S4O,OOO,OO0 greater thar
during the prior fiscal year, endeo
June 30, 1889" This is the "iniqui
tous" Mckinley bill that taxed the
American people to death; that was
building Chinese wall around thu
country; that was shutting us on
from great foreign trade, when il
reality this same wicked measure ad
mits nearly so per cent. of all we i'm
port free of duty.

Very few Americans have seen the
full text of the Pope's encyclical up
on the labor question, and still fewer
have obtained a clear and definite
idea as to the contents and signlt-
canoe of this very remarkable docu-
ment. In the Review of Reviews for
July there appears an extended
analysis of the encyclical, bringing all
the salient points and features of it
into classified, logical arrangement,
so as to show precisely what the docu-
ment is. The analysis has been made
with the lively interest and approba-
ton of Cardinal Manning, and the
discussion which accompanies it joins
in making this by far the most impor-
tant presentation, both of the docu-
ment and Of its significance, that has
been made in any quarter.

Blaine's motto: Saw wood and

cartoon in the last number of The
Review of Reviews. Blaine is repre-
sented in his shirt sleeves, with wide
brimmed slouch hat, and pants tucked
in his boot legs, busily engaged saw
ing wood with a saw labeled "Di-
plomacy." All about him are the
representatives of some of the leading
newspapers of this country. carrying
banners, on which are printed quota
tions from said papers, as follows:

Blaine or Harrison?"-N. Y. Sun.
