Adontinn of the Air Brake.

The adoption of the air-brake in freight
services is making rapid progress. On
January l, 1891, there were 152, 800 cars
equipped with them, as against 1884
on January 1, 1900, an increase OF
80, l36 cars. The percentage of the
entire freight rolling stock of the
country equipped January /, 1891, was 1873
per cent. The railways on which all new
cars are SO equipped control 80, ASS miles of
road and 272. 339 cars. The companies on
which some classes of their new cars are
equipped control sc, 9S3 miles of road and
423, 554 freight cars These two classes
combined control Sc, AL miles of road and
69f, 1913 freight cars. The number of cars
equipped last year was nearly twice as
many as in any previous year, but better
idea of the actual progress made can be
gained from the fact that companies cen
trolling nearly 10000 miles of road have
adopted the air brake for freight service in
1890.

which is not usually a debt-paying
month with the farmer, and in this
case does not include any proceeds
from the abundant crops of the present
year But there can be no doubt the pros
pect of plenty had a great deal to do with
the better resolve to pay up" In sixty
counties there was a net reduction of
1881, 45S of farm-mortgage indebtedness.
The reduction was 1886, 94S in twenty
eight eastern counties, $144, $40 in sew
enteen central, and was large in fifteen
western counties The total excess of
farm mortgages released in forty-eight
counties for the three and a-third
months ending with July was 81, 1885,

that during the whole of the present
year total of fully $40, 600, 900 of mort
gage Indebtedness will have been re-
leased in Kansas This in spite of the
efforts and rulings of the judge who
took six weeks course in the study of
law after his election. presumably with
the intention of finding out how best to
protect debtors from the just claims
of their creditors.
A more cunning, internal lie was
probably never Matched out by the boss
liar of tophet, himself, than is embodied
in the above quoted editorial item from
the Tribune.
Even if it were true, there is de-
crease of only $4,000. 900 per year.
This would take sixteen years there
being $f6O, 600. 600 of Kansas mortgages
to clear the state of farm mortgage in
debtedness!
But the ASSERTIONS themselves are
false-and the Capital and Tribune
both know they are false. They are
published for the sole purpose of mis-
leading the people They are published
in the interest of the Shylocks, who
propose to kill off the peoples reform
movement at any and all hazards
Now let us see what a witness says,
who lives in Kansas and knows what
he is talking about Bear in mind that
he is not now and never has been a
member of the Farmers Alliance. Re-
member, also, that till few years ago
he was "a staunch republican" His
letter bears on its very face the con.
vincing and unimpeachable truth. For
good reasons we withhold his name for
the present-but will personally vouch

we use it, but it comes in SO oppor-

withal it is so necessary that our

truth of the matter-that we print it,

Will Wind EN- Up.

The democratic league of Minnesota,
in St Paul, is reported to have resolved
to fuse with the Farmers Alliance on
the basis of free coinage of silver and a
tariff for revenue only. There are a
few Farmers Alliance men that might
be caught with that chaff, but scarcely
any of them are peoples party men.
The members of the peoples party as a
whole do not care a continental for
free coinage or the tariff question.
They have better fish to fry. Besides
they cannot fuse with the democrats.
Any attempt on their part to do SO
would prevent them from being mem
bers of the peoples party, as the ma
tional committee would refuse to recog-
nize them. The spoils seekers of the
old parties might as well make up their
minds that only one kind of fusion
goes, between the republicans and the
democrats And that will wind 'em

Blessed, indeed, is he who has such an
earnest, eloquent enthusiastic advo-
cate as is Brother Hubbard, and the
Hill banking system is wonderfully re-
-inforced by his jealous pleading. But
Brother Hubbard cannot achieve an
impossibility; he cannot prove that q

Is Its Understanding attributes; its
power to accumulate wealth without
labor. Interest is not properly a part

the practice of taking it is accursed Of

Brother Hubbard cannot cure an evil
by incubation with milder form. as ia
the practice with smallpox. The diff
ference between three per cent and
seven per cent is simply Of degree and
not OF kind Seven per cent. takes all

Finally, if Brother Hubbard will show
me how depriving money saved of its

the people, to induce deposits, must
give the possessor of idle money three
fourths of'the nations net products, the
peoples banks had better absolutely
refuse to receive time deposits at all
and formulate better plan.
The plan is close at hand. Let the
banks loan at one per cent, or just
about the cost of the system, and let
the borrowers pay four per cent of the
principal and interest on the unpaid
balance each year. If the time loans
should reach, as they do at present, the
sum total of five billions, this plan
would give the peoples banks loana-
BILE fund for time loans of two hundred
millions each year, without the neces-
sity of receiving time deposits, while
those who saved money would either
have 1t, spend it or be forced to loan it
at one per cent.
