DOES THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
OF THE OHIO FARMERS ms.
supt Kinder Finds Them Running
Without the Necessary Capital.

The following dispatch to the. En-
Qtiirer will be OF great iRterest TO
majority Of The Henry County farmers:
Columbus, Oct. 27.-An announce
ment that will starIle insurance and
commercial circles throughout the
country was made at the State Insur-
ance department this afternoon.
The examination by the department
into the condition Of the Ohio Farmers
Insurance Company, just completed
under the supervision of Chief Exami
ner Werner Opes, has resulted 10 bring
ing to light state of affairs that will
at least prove very embarrassing b
that great corporation. The company
is the largest In the State. 1t was or
ganized in l848 as the farmers Mutual
Fire insurance Company. and author
lied to
INSURE FARM PROPERTY.
In 1851 the name we changed to the
Ohio Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, by proceedings in Court; in
1852 to the Ohio Farmers Insurance
Company, Its present name. Subse-
quently resolutions were adopted by
the Board of Directors to adopt the
statues and operate under the general
laws OF Ohio, and, later advantage was
taken Of the provisions of that section
which permitted mutuals having net
assets amounting to $200,000 TO issue
policies on the joint stock plan. This
was the only company in the State
having the necessary assets to become
general stock company, and from
small beginning in an obscure village
it grew to be one of the largest and at
the same time to be regarded as among
the most substantial Institutions In the
country. 1t has operated continuous
ly since it's organization, and since the
passage of the at of April %, 1872, has
issued policies on the
JOINT STOCK PLAN.
Hon. w. HI. Kinder, State Superln-
tendent of Insurance, this afternoon
gave out the result of the examination,
which he states was made for the
reason that 1t had not been examined
under his administration. The gross
assets were found to be It'll, ,474.83.
In listing the assets Sl52, 7Sl. .S4 of un-
paid premiums on policies issued more
than three months prior to the exami-
nation were excluded. The liabilities
proved to be 81, ,701 ,6l4.03, leaving the
net assets 500, ,S60.80. with unpaid loss
es of $63, ,637.76. and reinsurance re-
serve of 81 ,597, 1892.
The policy fees were not included in
the policy of the reinsurance reserve,
but the reserve was computed upon
the entries rs they appeared upon the
books, This shows that the 5000. 900
net assets required by the statues has
fallen below the figures being now
only $3.50, ,860.80.
The amount of risks outstanding was
1856, ,89o. o.440 SO.
''THIs RESULT" 1NFs M
Said Superintendent Kinder, "while
1t confirms the actual solvency of the
company, developed the fact that its
assets had fallen below the standard
required by the section 1868 Of the Re
vised Statue of Ohio to be maintained

been fall in prices, but it has occurred in still larger degree in what the farm CT buys than what he sells. Wheat was $l.27 bushel in 1850 and $l.02 in 1891 |, according to official statistics, decline of 20 per cent. In the same period corn declined 10 per cent and oats less than 5 per cent, while mess pork was actually higher in 1891 than in 1850, when the Walker free trade tariff of lS46 had been in operation four years. In the same time the price of blankets fell A per cent, calico 63 per cent, sugar 72 per cent. sheeting 6l per cent, agricul. tural machinery from 52 to 62 per cent and everything else Tn proportion. The truth is, therefore, that the fsrmers' crops buy much more today and better in clothes, groceries and machinery than they did under free trade jorty-two years ago.
 This effectually disposes of the first two Actions. The third, that European retaliation has caused agricultural de- precision, is almost too absurd to con- slider. Who has ever heard of any such retaliation? Nobody, we both buy and sell incomparabl more as nation now than in 1850. Under the awful" Nc Kinley law our exports in 1891 were six and one-half fold greater than under the Walker tariff in 1850, and nearly threeiold more than those of 1860. while our imports were more than six-fold larger than in 1850 and two and one- half times those of 1860. Of course, population and productive capacity have increased vastly. So has our home con sumption of agricultural products, and q comparason is in some respects almost impossible. But these figures show how utterly absurd basis this bourbon campaign document is put upon.
 The Democrats are reckoning without their hosts in this matter The Ameri- can farmer is too intelligent to be hood winked in any such fashion. Lies of that sort only earn merited contempt for the party which circulates them.

TENNESSEE is one of the common- wealths where the dominant party has stoutly maintained the state rights doctrine that the federal government has no authority to interfere in its in- ternal affairs. During n year or more the peace of the state has been dis turbed by riots among the miners and the local authorities were powerless, Now they have appealed to the federal government for help, and arms and munitions have been set them. They find it very convenient to fall back upon the strong arm of National power, but we cannot see how they can reconcile it with their doctrine of state sover- eighntr.

THE MERCHANDISE imports at New York Tn the week ending August g.
 were valued at l6,704 ,540, against s9, S35 ,6SO in the corresponding week of 1891. The figures first given broke all records, it is believed, for the chief sea port of the United States, and the in crease over the corresponding period of last year was at the rate of more than sS50, ,0O0, ,0O0 annually. Such is the way in which the Mckinley law is drying up the springs of our national wealth" by acting as a "Chinese wall'' between this country and the rest of the world

 Mir. Webb, of the Phoenix Gazette. presented himself at the Citizen office this morning. He was neatly shaved and wore a distinguished moustache. It made great change in his appear ance, and when guyed as to how he could console himself with the loss of such a fine facial ornament almost blushingly admitted that he was con verted to Republicanism and wanted to tall into the line of advanced ideas and protective principles and with that idea ln view was protecting bis personal appearance against the competitive good looks of the world.-Tucson Citi. zen.
 The Chamber of Commerce met last night to diecuss several important questions, among which was the ques- tion Of the advisability of fund. ing the city indebtedness. After a thorough discussion of the question II was decided by a vote that "it is the sense oi this meeting that the indebted ness Of the city be funded" There were but three votes cast against the proposition. It was peculiar fact that all ot those who at prior meet ing were opposed to funding, were in favor of it last night. while thoee who were in favor of 1t then were either in- different 10 it or against it at last nights meeting. ng.-Prospector.
 The surveying party under the lead. [. ership of J. R. Pope came into town last Saturday and established camp, from where they completed their work Of thirteen mleso on Wednesday evening.

AN ABsURD DOCUMENT.

The Democrats are beginning their campaign of misrepresentation and have already commenced to circulate among the farmers a document that is absurd in the wildness of its mis-state- ments. In substance. it declares the prices of farms and farm products "have declined steadily under protection, ,' and that the period of free trade, from 1850 to 1860, was the most prosperous American agriculture ever enjoyed The fall in price, it asserts, ia all dne to the retaliation oi European nations in refusing to buy any more of our agricul- tural products than they had to have, because we had shut out foreign pro ducts by a protective tariff.
 Not single one of these statements, which are in report made by the com. mittee of agriculture in this Democra- tic house, is true. The prices of farm products have not steadily declined un- der protection. It is true there has

Columbus Anniversaries.

Just about this time of year, 400 years ago, Christopher Columbus began his wonderful work of destroying ancient superstitions and discovering new world. He did it we'll, too, for he sailed on Friday, discovered land on Friday, did several other memorable things on the same day and proved for the second time that the land near the equator was habitable. He had proved it already in his famous discussion with the learned council of Salamanca.
 He did not sail Aug. 3, however, or discover land Oct. 12, as all the school books say, for it was in the Fifteenth century then, and they reckoned by old style, and so nine days must be add ed to every date to make it square with the simon pure Jacob Townsend's AL manac" of today. President Harrison and the Worlds Columbian exposition managers have properly recognized this and we shall celebrate accordingly.
 Let us say, then, combining the "styles," that Columbus sailed from the bar of Saltes, port of Palos, Spain, Aug. 3-12, 1492; saw the last Old World land Gin the Canary isles) Sept. 0-18; observed the variation of the needle for the first time in history Sept. 1929; was de- ceived by Martin Alonzo Pinzon's claim that he saw land on Sept. 25-Oct. 4; was 707 leagues west of the Canaries on Oct. 1-l0; had to encounter mutiny of the sailors on the night of Oct. l0-l9 and first saw land at dawn of Oct. l2-2l.
 On the preceding evening he had seen light which he judged to be carried by some one on shore, or rising and fall ing in fisherman's boat. His compan- ions on deck, Pedro Gutierrez and Ro drigo Sanchez, also saw it, but it was at ? o'clock next morning that the signal oe Land in sight" was given from the Pinta. The first man to see it was sailor named Rodrigo de Triana. After two days on the island Columbus start ed-Oct. 14-23--to explore the vicinity, reached the next island on the 1925, and after various discoveries landed on the soil of Cuba Oct 29-Nov. 6.
 Incidentally it may be added that to- bacco was discovered about Nov. 4-l3; that is, says Columbus, Certain natives came near carrying . firebrand, and with leaves of plan. which they rolled and putting one end of that roll in the mouth fired the other and puffeda great cloud of strong smelling smoke" Elec- tion day will be about the right ami versary on which to celebrate this event. The same week potatoes were discov- cred, and in the same fields were maize, sweet pepper and cassava.
 Dec. 6-15 Columbus discovered the present Hayh; Jan. 4-13, 1493, he sailed for Spain, leaving small garrison at La Navidad; Feb. l5-24 he saw the first Old World land, and after many mis. haps reached Palos once more March 15-24, having been absent seven months and twelve days. He left Cadiz on his second voyage Sept. 25-Oct. 4, 1493. His birth date is unknown, but he died in Valladolid, May 20-29, 1906, being about seventy years old.
