of farm and home mortgages is
252, $50, the number of inhabited
houses 379,318, so that the mort
cages are over GO per cent of the
total number of inhabited houses.
IL this is surprising it is still
more surprising to find that Kansas
has over 298,8S0 farm and home
mortgages and only 292,0Se inhab-
tied houses, or 8, 794 more mortgages
than inhabited houses.
This looks like the climax of the
effects of the High Tariff system
but it is not, for with 337, S72 mort
cages on farms and homes Nebras-
ka has only 1,470 inhabited
houses, or over third more mort
cages than inhabited houses.
The lower percentage of Illinois
is explained by the city of Chicago
with it's crowded tenements. AS
the State under examination be-
comes more nearly agricultural in
it's population the ratio of the num-
Der of mortgages to the number of
houses rises until finally in Kansas
and Nebraska the number of mort
cages passes the number of dwell
ings.
The relative position of these
States under this head is further
illustrated by the average amount
of real estate mortgage debt pei
head of population, including al
ages and sexes. In Illinois this
debt, exclusive of the debt on tn,
real estate of corporations as well al
the chattel mortgages, is given a
500 a head; in Iowa at $1O4 {
head; in Nebraska at $126 head
in Kansas at $170 a head.
The Republic has been surp riset
so often in examining into tn,

to be surprised at nothing further
but it is impossible not to be shock

the two most stalwart Republican
States of the West largely exceeds

lowest Republican estimates that in
these great States on which the Re-
publican party has so long depended

there is now private debt on real

Carnegie's Tariff.

When Mr.. Carnegie made his
steel-billet schedule he played on the
country and his workingmen a
sharp protection trick. He arrang-
ed his rates of duty in such a man
ner that they might always be pro-
hibitory. The old duty kept out
foreign billets and the new duty is
quite as effective. Moreover Mr..
Carnegie, with the new duty, can
not only keep control Of the Amer
can market, but can regard the
downward tendency with compla-
cency if he can but reduce the
minimum of his wage basis.
In 1901 the rate of duty on steel
billets was AZ per cent. 1t was
practically prohibitory. Foreign
billets averaged $40 a ton, and, du-
ty paid, they were worth 500 ton
plus the cost of transportation. A
lower price was threatened, and if
it was realized Mr.. Carnegie would
be obliged to sell his products for
less than 500. Therefore he chang
ed his rate of duty from ad valorem
to specific, so that the equivalent ad
valorem rate of tax would increase
as prices went down.
On billets ranging in price from
500 to $28 a ton he induced Mr.. Nc
Kinley to fix tax of five-tenths Of
a cent a pound. When billets were
$28 a ton this tax was equivalent to
nearly 80 per cent. The rate on
billets at $25 would be 40 per cent.
So there was an apparent reduction.
But as the price fell the ad valorem
rate rose, for tax of $40 on $50 is
a greater percentage tax than SIC on
1928. When the price reaches 1923,
the sum on which Mr.. Carnegie
wished to fix as compromise basis
Of wages, the rate Of tax was near
ly 48 per cent, and English billets
at $50 in Liverpool would bring
$1,000 here, plus freight and insur-
ance.
Mr.. Carnegie's new schedule en-
abled him to keep a market that
was threatened. 1t maintained his
prohibitory protection and it gave
him basis on which to reduce wag-
es. He insisted that the wages of
labor should go down while his own
percentage of profit went up, just
as he insisted that capital alone
shall reap the benefit of improved
machinery and that labor shall stop
where it is, receiving an unchanged
rate of wages for an increased out
put.-N. Y. World.

Tenth Congressional Convention.

Last Wednesday the Democratic
Congressional convention was held
at Cheboygan, and Congressman T..
A. +. Weadock was renominated by
reclamation, and in so doing the
convention carried out the unani-
nous demand of the Democrats of
the Tenth district. Congressman
Weadock has been tried and has
proved faithful servant of the
people, and during his term of
service has done good work for this
district. His record is one that will
bear the closest scrutiny, and so
well are the people satisfied with
him, that we predict his election
next November by large majority.
Congressman Weadock is a man
that the Democrats will be pleased
to vote for. There are but few
Congressman who have made as
good a record during their first terms
as did Mr.. Weadock.
At the same convention Worthy
L. Churchill, of this city, was nom-
mated for the important position of
presidential elector, and Milo East
man, of Tawas, for alternate elector.
The following persons were Sc
lected as the Congressional commit
tee:

An Astonishing Discovery,

No comparison between the num-
Der of farm mortgages and the
number Of dwellings in the United
States has been made by the Census
Office, but as bulletin has been
issued giving the number of dwell
ings by States it is possible to make
comparison for the States of Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, in
which the Census Office has report
ed the real estate mortgages. Be-
fore entering on it, however, it will
be well to quote the definition of a
dwelling" as it is given in Extra
Census Bulletin 10:
"A dwelling, for census purposes"
says the Bulletin ''means any build
ing or place of abode in which any
person was living at the time the
census was taken, whether a room
above a warehouse or factory, a
loft above a stable, wigwam on
the outskirts Of a settlement, a hotel,
a boarding or lodging house, a large
tenement house, or dwelling house
as ordinarily considered"
In short, a census dwelling is an
inhabited house of any kind, and
with this in mind we make the sur
prising discovery that in the State
of Illinois the number Of real estate
mortgages (297,247) is between
A and 45 per cent of the total num-
Der of inhabited houses of all kinds
in the State. In Iowa the number

announcement that the directors,

at the same time afford them club

that end appointed committees to

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.
The President Named and the Off
cial Vote of the County
Given.

1t was a victory fer the Democrats
last Tuesday and President Harrison
must give way, on the fourth Of next
March, for his successor, Grover Cleve-
land Mr.. Harrison has had a clean,
honest and able administration, but
the people, who rule, say, by the.elec-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, that they
prefer a change in the tariff laws of
the country, and Republicans are
bound to bow in submission to the
will of the majority. Mr.. Cleveland's
record during his four years. admins
tration as President, assures the coun-
try that its destinies are not in weak
or unsafe hands, and in the line of
the policy of his party, directed by a
man of Mr.. Cleveland's strong con.
victions and experience in national
affairs, it is fair to assume that the
change of Chief Magistrate, to say
the least, will not affect the progress
and prosperity of this great country
which, however, divided in opinion
among ourselves, is solldly united in
action against our foes without.
The Democratic ticket in the coun-
ty was elected by majority of 955
votes over theRepublican ticket. This
means that in this county, Hon. W.
@. p. Breckenridge defeated Hon. T.
j. Hardin for Congress; r. d. Arm
strong defeated d. B. Walcutt for
Sheriff and Thos. B. Ford defeated
Alex Innes for. Clerk of the Circuit
Court. The vote of the county was
also given to James E. Cantrill for
Judge of the Circuit Court and to j.
s. Smith for Commemorative At
torney. The Peoples Party was not
in the race.
The election passed off very quietly
and the new law, despite it's slow, red
tape system, has been declared a
complete and satisfactory success.
In fact, such a transformation over
the disorderly and dangerous cleo
ton scenes of the past was observed
during the progress of the election
Tuesday, that the people in general,
many of whom were opposed to the
Australian ballot system, have agreed
that the new law is a blessing which
gives honor and dignity to the right
of suffrage and lessons, if not entire
ly prevents, the corruption and de-
moralization which no law could
diminish under the viva voce system.
The full vote of the county, by at
least III votes, was not polled.
The Democrats received 2,1S6, the
Republicans 1881, the Peoples Party
1853 and Prohibition Party 30, total
3.615. In the city only, the vote
stood: Democrats 742, Republicans
697. Peoples Party 10, Prohibition Par
