FINANCIAL PROBLEM SOLVED.

The conduct of our national finances
has been vigorous and successful.
Upon the first of March, 1889, practi-
cally the beginning Of the Harrison
administration, the interest bearing
debt amounted to 1914, LOG, 220 Of four
and four and half per cent bonds,
bearing an annual interest charge of
$34, 57S, 1890. The prices of these
bonds were very high, owing to pur-
chases made by the preceding admin
istration and an expectation of it's
continuance. The available cash bal
ance was more than S175, 900, 900, of
which s4S, 100000 was on deposit in
SO managed these balances that
during his first sixteen months he
bought over SIS, 100000 of four per
cents and SD, 900, 900 of four anda-
half per cents at constantly declining
prices. In the summer of 1889 the
unfavorable condition of trade and
finance abroad brought about a strin
gency in money, relieved by the dis
bursement of S1O2, 900, 900 in the pur
chase of bonds and prepayment of in
terest. In 1891 the right to redeem
four and half per cents accrued,
and the option was SO used in refund
ing that there are now outstanding
but $25, 900, 900 Of said bonds bearing
interest at two per cent, the lowest
rate among nations. During the last
three years the treasury has reduced
the public debt $259, O93, $50, disbursing
therefor $26e, 1916, 931.2 20. Reckoning
principal and interest to maturity, the
saving by such purchases is over $50
OOO, OOO
The annual interest charge March L,
1889, was $34, $40, 1850. Juue 1, 1892,
it amounted s22, 1913, Ss1 20, a decrease
of 81, 684, SIS. Ca fraction more than
331a per cent. The volume of money
in circulation has within three years
been brought up to 50, 500, 01O, 229, an
increase of S215, SO4, 333, a gain per
capita of 1914. During the last three
years of Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton the increase was only $84, 500 .446,
a decrease per capita Of Is cents. The
$48, 200, 900 of public money which the
administration had put on
deposit in the national banks has been
withdrawn and reduced by
judicious expenditures to S13, $50, 27O.-

A Fargo Forum correspondent re.

A Fargo Forum correspondent re-
cently interviewed Lieutenant H. M.
Creel, now register of deeds Of Ramsey
county. The lieutenant was formerly
an officer in the old seventh cavalry,
and engineer officer at Fort Totten,
where in 1880, he made the first survey
of Devils Lake, and Typographical
survey of the Fort Totten Military re-
servation for the War department. The
lieutenant declined to talk politics but
said: II am not paying any attention
to the coming elections, and may not
De candidate at all, but there is a
matter that l am deeply interested in,
and it is .the proposed railroad from
Fargo northwest to Turtle Mountains
through this country.
You do not know that in 1885 I or.
<anieod company, procured 4 charter
anSwas oA.rc.l the money BY the Lon.
don Trust Co., OF London, to build this
road, viz: A railroad running north.
westerly from Fargo passing through

The state press is agitating James
town as the place for holding the
next state convention. jamestown
certainly is entitled to the next con-
vention and as she is well equipped
for taking care of the delegates we
are in favor of it being held at that
place. Give Fargo fhe state conven-
tiontha elects delegates to Minnea-
polls and jamestown the convention
that nominated state officers. That
would be satisfactory all around.
Grand Forks gets the democratic
convention and Bismarck always has
the winning hand by having the leg
islature.

The Mckinley tariff act was de-
clared to be constitutional by the SUI
preme court of the United States
In decision rendered by Justice
Harlem, The cases on which the
decision was based were those Of
Marshall Field, of Chicago, and of
New York merchants, who protested
against the payment of duties on
certain woolen dress goods and other
importations on the ground that the
Mckinley bill was not a legal and
constitutional enactment by reason
Of. the omission from the enrolled
bill of the tobacco rebate clause,
agreed to in conference and contain
ed in the bill when it passed both
houses. The court holds this omis-
sion does not make the bill illegal.
1t also holds that the reciprocity and
sugar bounty section of the bill are
constitutional. 1t was contended
that the reciprocity section was un-
constitutional because it delegated
Legislative powers to the executive.
The chief justice and Justice Lamar
dissented from the opinion Of the
court. They contended that the leg.
is;ative function was delegated to the
president by the act.

route would embrace thickly settled
country from one end to the other;
would pass between the Sheyenne and
Goose rivers, touching Stump Lake and
Devils Lake, and with the exception of
the big coulee south of Stump Lake
there would not be cut or fill worthy
of notice, the line passing through
country almost rs level as this floor. 1
made trip of preliminary observation
along the proposed route in 1886, and
know whereof I talk.
Again, if you will glance at this map
you will see that the Great Northern
runs north from Fxrgo to Grand Forks
thence west to Devils Lake, thence
north to Turtle Mountains; the North
ern Pacific runs west from Fargo to
jamestown, thence north towards Tur-
tie Mountains us far as Leeds, both
roads traversing as it were, the base
and perpendicular lines of right angle
triangle, while the route named in my
charter passes along the hypotenuse of
the right angle triangle in each case, or
If you please, forms II diagonal of the
rectangle formed by the lines of the
Great Northern and Northern P:lcihc,
thus you will see our proposed line will
combine a north and south, as we'll as
aa east and west traffic, giving the
people of the Turtle Mountain country
an air line route to St. Paul via. Fargo,
forty miles shorter than is offered by
any other road, and establishing Fargo,
not only as !. railroad center of this
state, but making her the commercial
metropolis beyond danger of competi-
ton.
l expect to be in Fargo next week
and would like to meet the chamber of
commerce in regard to this matter, and
hope to complete the entire survey by
July l of this year and have the road
built and IN operation to Devils Lake
this year. There will be no trouble to
secure the right of way and the farmers
throughout the entire line will aid ma
terially in grading.
This road is assured, and its benefits
to this section are almost comprehensi-
ble-more, it will be a paying line from
the start. am in correspondence with
eastern parties now, and think that we
can get all the money we want to build
the road-spot cash-just as soon as
each section of twenty miles is com
pleted.
Fargo should not fail to aid in this
matter. 1t would make her directly
tributary to the grandest wheat belt In
our state; furnishing cheap fuel from
the Turtle Mountain forests. All traffic
from this section of the country cell
tralizing there.

The Fargo Forum would be better
appreciated if those Washington let
tiers were fired into the waste basket
instead of being published. 1t looks
very funny for the major to preach
harmony in the republican ranks
and then turn around and do
nothing but air his personal
grievances against North pakota's
two senators through the Forum.
The Forum is lively paper, but
those letters take away all the spice
that the paper would contain were
they left out.
