This fact is so manifestly true that
any proposition looking to the repeal of
the Sherman law would be worse than
futile unless II contained some provision
to care for the constantly growing needs
OF our money medium. The plan of
President Cleveland is excellent-par-
tially-but 1T fails to be entirely SO, be-
cause while destroying the dangerous
possibility of deprecated currency it
destroys the possibility of having
enough currency for legitimate business

BEN BUTLER.

The death of Gen. BENJAMIN Frank
lin Butler early this morning removes
from the national stage one of the most
notable men of the times.
He was man whose whole life has
been challenge to the public, and il
has happened that the challenge has
been almost as constantly accepted as il
has been offered.
Ben Butler has always been fighter.
He did splendid service in the war and
he has done some splendid service in
civil life since the war.
As lawyer he was eminent. He was
very acute. He often overshot his
mark, but he often hit it squarely also.
he was erratic in his business as in
everything else, and his peculiarities
forced him constantly into public notice.
The later years of his life were com.
parative failures. There were many
brilliant successes in them, and there
were many failures. He aged without
getting more wisdom and without be-
coming mellowed to the extent of mt.
ting himself into harmony with the
that is the crown and
beauty of old age.
On the whole, it must be concluded
that Gen. Butler was among the great
Americans. if not among the greatest
Americans, and that his death, though
at ripe old age and beyond the Biblical
limit, removes a man from public life
who has been prominently in the public
Eye and mind for nearly half century

The almost universal distrust of the
western farm mortgage is we'll founded,
but there are times when eastern in
vestors may find comparisons between
our own states and those of the West
unpleasant. During the decade from
1880 to 1890 the mortgage indebted
ness OF Massachusetts increased 1853. O5
per cent; population increased 25.57
per cent. In 1890 the mortgage debt of
the state was 19.42 per cent of the total
estimated value OF all its real estate. In
the state OF Iowa it was but 1871 per
cent. The per capita debt in the
former was $l44. In the latter $1O4.
Iowa mortgages ought to attract a fai- 4.
share Of Massachusetts capital under
such conditions as these.
