What the People Have Paid and
What They Will Have TO Pay.
The national debt in 1866 was two
billion seven hundred and eiohty-tbree
million.
Principal of this debt which has
been paid am cunts to one billion seven
hundred fifty six million.
Interest paid, two billion FIVE hundred
and thirty eight million.
Premium paid on bonds bought be-
fore due, fifty eight million.
Total paid on the public debt, four
billion, three hundred and ffty-two
million.
The amount due on this public debt,
the half of which need not have been
contracted, is one billion, twenty seven
million. four hundred and fifty thous-
and. and this after paying on the debt
the enormous sum above stated In
the mean time the destruction of cur
roncy of various kinds and replacing it
with interest debt have caused the fa,l
in prices of farm produce with which
the money is secured to. pay al debts,
more than one hundred per cent.
When this moustrous debt was con-
trscted the price OF wheat was such that
one billion, seven million bushels OF
wheat would have sold for enough
money to have paid that whole debt,
but now, after four billion, three hun.
bred and fifty two million dollars have
been paid on it, to pay the remainder
at the present price of wheat woulo
require two billion, fifty four million,
nine hundred thousand bushels to dis
charge the baiance OF the debt
This is most encouraging showing
for farmers to contemplate when they

was chilled by the threatening advance
of silver in our currency and the heavy
withdrawal of gold from the United
States marks the beginning of Aus
tralia's infation.''
Now mark the false statement and
reasoning of this Congressman banker
The moment partial coinage Of our
silver commenced under the Bland
law, to supply money for our own
use, foreign money was not needed
and went to Australia, where its greedy
owners mortgaged everything in sight,
with the hope OF securing big interest
and dividends from A australian industry
Their greed got the better of their
Judgment and they lost. Gould they
have kept us on their gold standard
they would have continued to invest
here and We would have been more
heavily in their debt than ever Had
free coinage been established in place
Of partial coinage of silver under the
Bland act we would have had money
enough to have foated all of our bus
mess without the necessity of borrowing
ing English capital, and this panic
never would have occurred. In place
of the foreign capital which poured in
upon us after the resumption of specie
payments making "period of prosper
ity in this country" it marked the most
disastrous the producing class ever
experienced, but it was prosperity for
the banking and money loaning class.
! The contraction of the currency
brought business to a stand, and the
people were forced to borrow money
from shylock in the hope of keeping
their business going, but it was vain
hope. The foreign mortgage and bond
steadily devoured their substance. But
mark the brazen assertion of this bank
ing Congressman who calls this
prosperity!
The most honest and we think the
ablest paper read before the Association
was by the hoaIy moss back, Mr.
Horace White, of New York, on Oar
Elastic Currency" Among other
equally good things Mr.. White said
we have but room for the following:
Zone way or another. gentlemen the
bond security class of the Nationai
banking act must be got rid of before
you can have flexible currency"
And his closing declaration is gem
of truth:
"Your gold reserve must be big in
proportion to the badness of your bank
ing system, and not to its goodness"
The logic of this is, if we perfect ouI
system by replacing the corporation
system by government banks gold viii
not be needed at all as part of oul
money. Nothing can be SO strong as a
government system. See The very
logic of conditions forces these GOLD
bug bankers onto a national money and
government banking platform. The
current is SO strong that it bears
them to this only haven of safety in
spite of their every effort to resist it
And thus the testimony of our enemies
is made to praise US, and coniound theil
false theories. The more they talk
the worse their cause is made to appear

On and after September 18th, 1893, trains will

7,785; other cattle, 14,772; sheep,
4,941; swine, 22,643.
Phillips county is situated in the
best winter wheat section in the state
of Kansas as is shown by the report
port of M. Mohler, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture. The
state is divided by him into three
belts-the eastern, central, and west
ern. The eastern belt comprises
thirty-nine counties IN the eastern
part OF the state, the central belt
thirty-fve counties in the central part
of the state east and west, and the
western thirty-two counties in the
western part of the state. These sew
eral belts are again divided east and
west, making IN each a north and
south belt. From the report of the
secretary on the yield of winter wheat
in Kansas for 1892 the several belts
give the following yield per acre:
North half eastern belt, 1854 bushels
, south half eastern belt, AL; north
half central belt, 2068; south half
central belt, 18. "a; north half western
belt, 1856; south half western belt,
1920.
Phillips county is located in the
north half of the central belt, which
gives the largest yield of any portion
of the state There was raised in the
thirty-fye counties comprising the
central belt, the middle third OF Kan
sas, over 50,570,000 bushels out OF a
total yield of winter wheat IN the
state of over 100000. The average
yield as figured by the secretary OF
the state board of agriculture perhaps
may be high enough, but from all re-
ports of yields it seems to be too low
in Phillips county.
Winter wheat growing is becoming
a great success, and with the i'm
proved machinery it can be produced
at a very small cost per bushel, and
more net money can be made at 50
cents per bushel now than could have
been at 81 per bushel under the
methods prevalent fifteen years ago
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-02-23

The corn crop is excellent, and
many fields will make over sixty
bushels per acre, and is worth at
present in the local markets Is to II
cents per bushel. And SIS to $l6 per
acre for q crop Of corn from land that
is valued at only $40 to SIS per acre
is paying investment But the
price of land is too low in central
Kansas and it will not remain SO very
long. The people from Iowa, Illinois
and other corn growing states won
der why land is 80 cheap in Kansas
and Nebraska when it yields as much
or more than the land in their own
states. The only reason for its
cheapness IS because this section is a
new country, and in short time val
ues will be many times increased
over what they are today. Wise men
will invest in these cheap lands now
and sell at big profit in the near
future to their foolish and doubling
neighbors. Delay not. but come now
and secure bargains.
CLIMATE.
Phillips county not only has good
productive soil, but it has fine
heaIthful climate, where the we'll can
and will enjoy good health, and
where the consumptive and asthmatlc
can breathe the pure invlgorating air
and regain the buoyancy of youth.
There are but few damp foggy days
and little snow and no mud, like lii
nois or Iowa. The elevation is not
too great being about 1000 feet above
the Missouri river on the east. The
days are sometimes quite hot, but the
nights are always cool and refreshing
and the toiler can secure rest from
his labor.
RAILROADS..
The county is well supplied with
railroads. Three different lines of
road run through the county from
east to west. In the south part is the
Central Branch of the Union Pacific,
which is operated by the Missouri Pa
cifc Railway Company, upon which
are located the towns of Kirwin, Mar

Phillips COUNTY.

PHILLIPS COUNTY lies just south
of the Nebraska state line and
little west of the center of the state
of Kansas, east and west. 1t is thir-
ty miles square and contains $4,000
acres of land, with q population Of
about 10000. The general surface of
the county presents the appearance
Of gently rolling prairie, with a
small portion of slightly broken or
rough land back from the valleys
along the streams. There are twenty
four living streams of water in the
county, which are usually skirted by
narrow belts of timber such as cotton.
wood, elm, ash, walnut and box elder.
Good we'll water in the county is
reached on the bottom land at a depth
ten to twenty-five feet, and on the
level, divide or high land at from fifty
to seventy-fve feet.
The soil of the county is mostly a
black rich loan, from two to six feet
in depth. There is very little waste
or worthless land in the county. That
portion too rough for easy cultivation
makes splendid grazing land as it is
covered with luxurlant growth of
grass. About Is per cent of the land
is valley or bottom land.
Lime stone of excellent quality ex-
lists in great abundance In nearly ev-
cry part Of the county and is extern
slvely quarried. There is about one
third of the county under cultivation
at the present time.
PRODUCTS.
There was raised the past season II
the county about 100000 bushels Of
wheat, 3,700,000 bushels of corn, 250,'
600 bushels of oats, 10000 bushels
of rye and also small quantities Of
barley, flax, castor beans, broom corn

INTO THE OCEAN
Fell Don Carlos After an Exciting Aerial
Ride.


Patience was rewarded at Peaks Island
yesterday afternoon. The faithful crowd
who have been down to the island day
after day and have been cheated of an
ascension by the high winds were more
than satisfied by the beautiful ascension
and jump that Don Carlos made. The
wind did its best to smash things yester-
day afternoon, but Don Carlos and the
good natured men that held the balloon
stuck to it and shortly after seven, up
went the balloon and Don Carlos hang
ing on the end of it. Up, up, he went,
several thousand feet and then over
towards White Head like shot. Faster
and faster went the balloon and when
over the water between White Head and
Peaks, Don Carlos cut loose and started
downward with his parachute. 1t was
evident he would land in the water, and
into the water he went, about 900 yards
from the shore. The balloon fell in the
ocean about a half mile out to sea. Don
Carlos was in the water some twelve
minutes before his was picked up and
taken into boat. He was thoroughly
chilled but refused any stimulant and
was soon himself again. It was beauti-
full piece of work and the crowd was very
enthusiastic.

English MILITARY Punishments.


Our old English military punishments
were not destitute of ingeniously de-
vised discomfort.
For instance, there was the wooden
horse on a movable stand, made in the
similitude of that animal, with head and
tail attached to increase the likeness, Of
planks nailed together and meeting in a
sharp ridge. Upon this ridge, as upon
the back of horse, the culprit rode
astride with his hands tied behind him
and his legs dragged down by attached
muskets to prevent, according to a
CHASTITY joke of that time, his horse kick
ing him.
There was also the picket, a kind of
torture in which one hand was fastened
to hook in post above tho head of the
criminal, while his suspended body was
supported by his bare heel resting on q
wooden stump, narrowed, to cause him
the greater inconvenience.
These punishments were discontinued
as leading to rupture and lameness. In
running the gantlet OF the gantlope the
wretched soldier ran between two lines
of his comrades and was beaten by
switches and insulted by the worst Of
them-a form of torture degrading sol
diers to executioners, and perhaps the
most cowardly and intolerable ever con.
ceived. -London Tit-Bits.

horizon finally narrowed SO much, and
his contact with the world was so little
that he did not even keep the days of the
week.
Sunday Messrs. HI. S. Babb and w. E..
Knowlton were out walking near his
barn. They saw that something was
wrong; and investigating, found him
dead on his load of hay, as has already
been narrated. He had evidently died
from an attack of heart disease, perhaps
brought on by the work, which was ex-
cessive for man about eighty years of
age.
AS he lay in the undertaker's shop at
Westbrook, yesterday, there was not a
friend to drop tear over his casket.
