THE impression went abroad before the statehood convention met that il had an axe to grind, and now the story goes that the axe was duly ground. It is to be regretted that such an impression should have been created, even though it be not true. The calling of conventions atinoppor- tune times is failure Arizonans are possessed with.

Bank Credit.

An abstract from a report of the
comptroller of the treasury showing
the condition of the national banks
of the country, dated March q, 1893,
is an object lesson of such impor-
lance that we desire to call the atten.
Gion of readers of the Union to its
facts:
Capital stock paid in, 5 6SS,000,000
Gold coin held aggregate, $685., 2o5
Gold certificates, 69,09S, 100
Gold clearing house certif's, 4,S3S. 900
Loans and discount, 2,13S, 900, 900
1t is thus seen that the national
banks owning a capital of little
over $500, 900, 900, annually loans
more shan $2,100,00O000, to the
people. This enables them to draw
interest upon almost three times the
amount of capital in their business.
Instead therefore of receiving per
cent upon the $500, 100000 that they
actually own as men in other chan
nels of business do, they realize
interest amounting to more than 26
per cent. They have one-third of
actual capital and the balance is
credit. The credit yields them the
same rate of interest as their capital.
Why should bankers be given this
valuable prerogative? There is a
demand for this currency or the
credit of bankers would not find a
market.
Will some apologist for our present
banking system give US some good
reason why this immense credit
fabric should be delegated to these
corporations !? Why should not this
demand be filled by using the peoples
instead of the bank credit? Why
should not this interest pc paid to
them instead of enriching the few
notorious bankers OF the country |?
The annual income upon the $780,.
900, 900 of bank credit shown by this
table to he in use is $lO4 100000, an
amount equal to one-ffth of the
aggregate expenditures Of the federal
government.
But this showing includes the
loans and discounts of the national
banks only. There are more than
10000 private banks using their
credit in a similar manner. Their
lines of loans and discounts reach
much larger aggregate than those of
the national banks.
II the people should take back
these delegated rights and use their
own credit to fill the demand for
money, the interest. if charged at the
same rate that bankers exact, would
pay all of the ordinary expenses of
the government State Union,

Our Financial System.

If any man can be found able TO defend
our financial system, at the end of what was
promised TO be the most brilliant admins
tration in the annals of the republican party,
we would be willing 20 go leagues 10 hear
such defense. With the Secretary of the
Treasury running TO Wall street bankers
"beggipg," as Senator Vest expressed it,
"like an Italian mendicant. for gold from
the National banks to sustain the public
credit" and John Sherman king rider
on an appropriation bill 10 compel congress
to pass law to authorize the sale of bonds,
in the very dying hours Of the adlninistra-
ton, presents SO pitiful spectacle to the
world that gods and men might weep for the
frailty of human ambition and the treachery
of party leaders. No political party ever
entered OBLIVION in time of peace with such
a cloud on its record as the betrayed and
disgraced republican party. And the people
who stood by it, Drawing so many sacrifices
through years ofallerpate hope and anxiety,
determined not to believe anything which
cast "a doubt on their leaders, now hang
their heads in shame to be compelled TO
acknowledge IN this hour Of exposure, when
doubt is no longer possible, that they have
been betrayed into the power OF Plutocracy
of Unsuitable greed, and robbed, and with
the brazen etfrontery of successful highway
men their betrayerS row throw off the mask.
And in the hour fthe party = calamity these
false leaders deliberately join the ranks of
their lille long enemy aud propose terms to
them to continue the mutual plumber of the
PEOPLE. And these are the bitter fruits of
the system of finance they still defend with
an arrogance that might become his Satanic
Majesty in pinch. The last dying effort
of these traitors was TO put $50,000,O00 OF
| gold bonds into he bands of New York
national bankers after making them pres
ent OF $50 900, 900 or more in premiums and
advanced interest during the last four years
of reckless robbery of the public treasury
And the rotten fruit of the system is falling
from this poison tree in the crash ofnsional
banks, bankrupted and plundered railroads,
the assignment Of great industrial" stock
corporations, suicides and defalcations, the
victims Of gambling ventures, the fall Of
prices and closing up of business firms and
houses A beautiful picture 10 present tc

Rich Discovery of Gold.

SEATTLE, WASH, May PA
special from Ruby today says that
news has been received there OF a
rich discovery of gold in the Grand
Summit on Palmer mountain, in
Onanagan county.
AT few feet below the level OF
The tunnel a body Of ore has been
struck, running in value from S. 900
to 100000. according to conserva.
tive estimates. There are now about
sixty tons of ore on the dump, assay
ing into thousands. AS depth is
attained the ledge grows richer.
Great excitement prevails in the
district and mine owners are conse-
quently jubilant.
The owners are Messrs. l. N.
Campbell, R. Town and w. Enright
To illustrate the Importance Of the
strike, Tom Long, just in from
LOOMS, reported that piece of ore
weighing seven pounds produced
two pounds of pure gold, or, in other
words, assays $l75,000 to the ton.
The gold is of fine quality and can
be seen easily with the naked eye.
There is plenty of the same kind in
sight.
