Don't Know the Value ola Road

When the Investment AMI Improve.
ment Company bought The land ly-
ing below town, on the East bank Of
the River. the first thing they did
vas to throw about one fifth Of their
purchase into magnificent roadway
through it, sixty feet wide.
That company knew the value of
street to their property. They were
willing to give about one fifth of its
value toward street For of what
market value would property be that
couldn't be reachedp Or even if it
could be reached, how much less val
liable it would be if it could not be
conveniently reached. They might
have held it for generation or two
without any appreciable advance in
value, or any material development
beyond what has taken place in the
last fifty or one hundred years with
out the street
The street was and is the opening
of every foot of it to market. 1t
makes every foot of it salable and
susceptible Of speedy development at
large advance on the purchase price.
With the street, it can be easily sold
at an advance on the original price
including the cost of the street.
The street is the pivitol point in
the whole enterprise. The company
had business foresight enough to see
this.
Now the same conditions, as we
have frequently urged, exist on the
opposite bank of the River. That
property is now PRACTICAL, unstable
and without market, simply for the
want of roadway through it. And
roadway would add as much to its
value as it added to the land on the
East side.
The West side is just as pretty,
just as desirable, just as salable, and
altogether just as good property for
like enterprise as the East side. A
roadway through it, running along
the hank of the River to Granville.
would draw all the travel that way.
1t would be the shortest route, on a
better grade. and would make the
property easily accessible.
Why is it not made? Do not the
owners want TO sell it? Do they not
want to increase its salable value so
per cent. by little investment in
roadway? Do they know the value
of roadway to their land?
1t seems not.

Under this head tn, philadelphia
Tim Is calls the attention of President
Harrison and his Secretary OF the
Treasury Foster to their duty before
retiring from their uilices in the fol-
lowing language:
"The last session of the present
Congress will cow enc ON Monday
when President Harrison's last
annual message and Secretary Eos
ter's last annual report of the condi-
tion of the finances will be presented
to the country. They both owe it to
themselves and to the nation that
has honored them to tell the exact
truth and the whole truth. 1t is no
secret that the statements of the
Treasury have been juggled so as to
conceal rather than to declare the
exact condition of the public finan-
ces. This is not creditable to the
President or to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and now that they are
about to retire from office, the people
will expect from one who is person
ally and officially esteemed as Presi-
dent Harrison is, that he shall de-
clare the whole truth in his last an
nual message.
when President Harrison entered
office on the 4th of March, 1889, he
found over $65, 100000 OF surplus
in the Treasury as a legacy from the
Cleveland administration and, stat
ing the Treasury account as Secre-
tary Foster has since stated it in his
Juggling way by the aid Of Congress,
the surplus in the Treasury on the
day that Harrison assumed his posi-
ton. was not less than $3.50, 900, 900.
The $65, 100000 of surplus as stated
by the Cleveland Secretary of the
Treasury, did not embrace the $685.
100000 of bank redemption fund
since covered into the Treasury, nor
did it embrace some 100000 of
subsidiary coin, or the balances of
disbursing officers amounting to some
more in the various de-
positories of the government. To-day
the Treasury is literally bankrupt,
and only by the studied abuse Of fig
ures is it made to appear as even
nominally solvent. The 500, 100000
of gold coin for the redemption of
Treasury notes, the subsidiary coin
and the accounts of disbursing Off
GERS are all taken into the Treasury
assets, although not dollar of eth
er is available for the payment Of the
government obligations.
THE people have right to expect
from President Harrison the truth
and the whole truth as to the finan-
cial condition of the government, and
he should state it with absolute frank
ness. And he should dc more; he
should show why the government has
become in straitened financial condi-
ZION and suggest a remedy to enable
it to meet its obligations. This is
expected from President Harrison
because the people have implicit faith
in his official and personal integrity.
They do not expect so much from
Secretary Foster, who, while person
ally and officially honest, is II politi
clan rather than II statesman and is
quite capable of Juggling with figures
to mislead the people, but Harrison
should retire from office with the
same rugged integrity that Mr.
Cleveland took with him when he left
The Presidency. 1t was that rugged
integrity that made the people recall
him to the Presidential office eight
years later"

Pref Grin L. Elliott, of the Leland
Stanford University OF California,
contributes y valuable and interest.
ing addition to the tariff history OF
the United States in the shape of a
review of the various custom laws
from 1889 to 1883. In regard to the
first Federal tariff, that of 1889, the
writer says:
Revenue was the principal consid
Grafton, and the powerful CONNER
cial interest, while not unfriendly to
manufacturers, instinctively and sue
cessfully opposed any tendency to-
ward rates which would seem to
threaten diminution OF foreign
trade.
1t has only been of late years that
this policy was abandoned by the re.
publican party, urged on by the rich
and powerful beneficiaries of illegiti-
mate protection. In the beginning
every one recognized the necessity OF
protection to encourage our industries
until they were able to fight their
own battles, and no one to-day de.
MES the wisdom of that policy. But
an overwhelming majority have de-
MED that industries that have grown
hoary with age and bloated with un-
earned millions taken from the pock
cts of the people, the farmer, the
workingman while the latter have
been growing poorer, are entitled to
further special favors from the gov.
eminent.
In 1889 the tariff rate was 81 per
cent. This was supposed to be am
pie. 1t has gradually increased, how
ever, from that to 66 per cent, and
the tariff beneficiaries at last accounts
were still bowling for more protec-
tion-not for themselves, oh, mol
for American labor-that was their
last plea.
In Prof, Elliott's book may b
traced from the beginning to the end
one of the most gigantic frauds ever
perpetrated upon nation in the his
tory of the world.

TRIAL FOR LYNCHING.

ST. STEPHEN, Ala, Dec. 9.-The twelve
prominent Aliaucemen of Washington
and Choctaw counties who are in Jail
here charged with lynching Chris Cham
bliss last July, are before Judge Porter
on habeas corpus proceedings.
Hundreds of friends of the accused men
are in town, many of them in camps near
the village. Much excitement prevails
and extraordinary efforts are being made
to secure the release of the men on bail.

against Wood and roundy denounced

On the case being called attorneys for
the defense announced that they expected
to show that some of the prisoners were
not present at the lynching, while Others
were merely guards, conveying the vic
tim to the authorities in Mississippi, and
that they were oyerpowered by armed
unknown nen, who took the prisoner
from them by threats, and force.
Twenty witnesses have been examined
so far, and their evidence is of a corrob
orative nature, going to show that all
of the accused except those who claimed
to be acting as guards, were at other
places when the lynching occurred.
The State was short inits cross eXami-
nation and evidently relics more upon its
direct testimony than upon the hope OF
breaking down the evidence of the de.
fence.
Quite stir was created in court when
Judge W. L. Clark, of counsel for the de-
fence, moved that the court forbid press
representatives being present, and from
publishing the evidence until the case is
concluded. The court granted motion.
After adjournment the reporters argued
the question, and prevailed upon Judge
Porter to rescind the order rather than
force them to make a test case of the
matter. Judge Clark says he will cal
the attention of the Legislature to the
matter and endeaver to have law
passed empowering Iu1get to forbid the
publication in such cases and prevent re-
porterS from disobeying such an order.

A BLOODY WAR IMMINENT
CONGRESSMAN MONEYS SON
WILL BE THE CAUSE.
Money Killed u POpulist aud the
Friends of the Dead Man swear
Vengeance Money IS Friends are
Determined to Protect Him.

GREENWOOD, Miss, Dec. 9.-Green-
wood was in fever of excitement last
night over the receipt of telegram
stating that a mob from Carroll county
is on its way to Woodstock, the home of
Congressman Jas. p. Money, for the
purpose Of lynching his son, Geo. p.
Money, who killed Edward +. Ham, at
Carrollton. Miss.
The news spread like wild fire, and in a
few minutes posse was organized to go
to Woodstock to protect young Money.
1t is reported that large number of
Mr.. Moneys friends left Carrollton in
pursuit Of the mob, and if they should
come together the conflict will be ter
rible one.
Woodstock is many miles from here
and it was impossible to obtain any
further news from there last night.
George Money, who is "a years old, is
one Of the brightest men of the Carroll
ton bar. He took an active part in the
late bitter Congressional campaign, and
incurred the enmity of a number of Pop
ulist politicians. He published two or
three weeks ago poem in a Carrolton
paper in which the names OF many OF the
Peoples party lee ders were mentioned,
among them being E. +. Ham, who re-
piled by card. He answered young
Money in bitter language. Friends OF
both men tried to settle the difficulty,
but Ham refused to make any apology
and when the two men met on the streets
of Carrollton last Saturday Money began
firing with a shot gun, killing Ham
almost instantly. Money surrendered to
the authorities and on Tuesday gave
bail in the sum of $4,000 and was re-
leased. After the release of Money the
friends of the dead man ~ ore vengeance,
and yesterday organized a mob to carry
out their threats. Moneys friends are
determined to protect him with their
lives, and if collision occurs between
the forces the battle will be fierce and
bloody.
