This is an excess of s94 i2i 81 over the total for
the corresponding week last year The total
clearances for the month jus, closed were $685.
l2t2o against S. 2iS $50 65 for the corresponding
month last year. This is a remarkable showing,
and gives some idea OF the growth of Seattie's
business enterprises.
1t is remarkable the desire Of Eastern capital
lists and money-lenders to find investment in
this city now for their money in the way of
guiding loans. So anxious are they to make
loans here that rates of interest have gone down
until 1t il now possible to secure good loans for
building purposes at not to exceed per cent
Nothing could be better indication of tine con-
ndence Eastern monied men have in seattle's
future. and at the same time but few things
could contribute more TO her success. ]. w.
Entz, representing the Jarvis Conklin Mortgage
trust Company, of Kansas City, Saturday
showed PosT-lNTELLIaENcER reporter the fol-
lowing letter OF instructions from the Portland
Office of this company:
Until otherwise instructed write loans at Sc
per cent. instead of per cent, Incorporating as
heretofore.
James Boutwell,, who also represents this
same company here, has received q similar let
Ter from the head office MIR. Entz said he had
not received instructions as yet regarding COM
missions. but that on loans written at 6 per
cent. the commissions run it up to about g per
cent. Its therefore evident that the present
rate, including commissions, will be less than
per cent. Speaking OF the business generally,
Mr.. Entz said:
Not only has our company great confidence In
the future of the city, bat here are letters aud
kilograms from various other companies Offering
10 MAKE loans here and anxious 10 get the
chance. When you find life insurance COM
panles seeking to loan their money in city
You may rest assured there Is nothing shaky in

IN the country are now trying to get their money

THE PRINCIPLE Is WRONG,
A Tariff Taxes What We Consume, No
What We Possess.

A Tariff Taxes What We Consume, Not
What We Possess.
MADISON. Wis, July 29.-Ex-Gov. St.
John. of Kansas, Gov. Mckinley. OF Ohio.
and W. G. Warner, of the New York Tariff
Reform club. addressed Monona Lake as
sembly to-day. Henry Watterson was also
to have spoken, but was taken Ill ut Chi
oeRo. ST. John spoke in the forenoon ON
prohibition and the tariff. He recited pro-
hibition arguments aud said that under the
present system the liquor traffic had z own
faster the past three years than ever
before. Over tho counters of the 24O, 737
saloons in the country, ono billion five hun
dred and seven millions of dollars passed
last year. This would pay the national
debt. st. John took the position that the
whole tariff system il wrong in principle
because 1t levies burdens on what We con-
sumo instead Of what we possess. Fifteen
or twenty men control to-day all means of
reaching the markets of the world, and our
merchant marine il practically driven
from the high seas. Farmers POSSESS less
than one-ffth of the wealth OF the country,
compared with hve-eighths forty years ago.
and still the farmer 10 consoled with the
blessed assurance that he ia "protected.' -
Capital takes $16 net income from a ton of
steel: while the gross receipts of labor are
but 8l.57, and because the laborsr refuses
to submit 10 reduction of 25 per cent,
capital confronts him with an army of
hired Pinkertons. and when he defends his
lnterests he is called q murderer.

EFFECT ON FARMERS.
All Other Interests Except Theirs Con
served by the Mckinley Law.

All Other Interests Except Theirs Con-
served by the Mckinley Law.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Hatch, of the COM
m ittee on agriculture, to-day submitted a
report on the effect Of the present tariff law
on agriculture. 1t says there has been a
steady decline in the price of farm prop
law other interests have been more re-
munerative and prosperous. The report
insists that under the low tariff of 1916 agri-
culture enjoyed the greatest prosperity.
The result of the protective tariff has been
to prejudice European nations Jour best
buyers) against the United States and in
the retaliation which followed agriculture
was done irreparable injury. The Amer
loan farmer is compelled TO sell his products
in dir cot competition with the pauper and
slave labor of ASIA and Africa, which sub
sists on wages averaging less than 50 per
tlimsy attempt to deceive the farmers.
White (Neb.). in an additional report,
says no class Of citizens are SO thoroughly
han dionpped by the protection system az
the farmers Of the Mississippi valley. en-
