have not taken the time to verify these
flgur9S, but surprising they are correct, the
$4,000 represents the total premiums paid
on these bonds, which are drawing +, Z and
8 per cent. in order to have the investment
net the state 4 per cent. interest. But it
does no represent the profits to this Office,
for we have paid good, liberal premiums
for bonds and this Office has only made a
fair profit on the whole amount, the same
as any other line OF business is expected
to do. We do not claim to be in the bust
ness for pleasure, but do not like to be mis-
represented and classed where the indie
pendent would have us.
A great many of these bonds were is
sued W to seven years ago and by US sold
to savings banks and other investors in the
east where money is only worth 8 or 4 per
cent?, and you can readily see that we
would have to pay them a large premium
to induce them to sell securities which
were paying them 6 to 8 per cent, and
which they knew to be absolutely safe
after they had received the interest
promptly for from Two To seven years.
After an eastern investor has secured a
good safe Investment for a long term Of
years, at a much higher rate than he can
ordinarily get and becomes convinced of
its worth by the prompt payment Of the
interest for several years. it is hard to in
luce him to give it up before due. for fear
he cannot find another Investment as good.
A good many OF these bonds were issued
in territorial days, when Dakota bonds did
not take very well in the eyes OF an east
ern investor and for that reason we had to
offer them at a high rate in order to sell
them at all, and in some instances had to
even guarantee their payment. The board
OF university and school lands has made a
good safe investment for the state and took
the only course Open to them, but ii the
present board is not satisfied with these
bonds, we are in the bond business and
will agree to buy back all bonds which
were bought through this office.
The state has a written guaranty that all
bonds bought from this office are regularly
and legally issued according to law, and 1
am sure that the bonds will take care OF
themselves and permit of the closest legal
investigation. If any of them do not this
Office will be found ready and willing
to refund The money in accordance with
the terms OF the guaranty.
l know nothing about the action of the
board OF u university and school lands to-
wards other buyers, only that they seen
to have been il. the market for bonds and
did buy some direct from school districts
where he expected to get the bonds, and ]
believe they took them from the districts
at 4 per cent, so you see we had no ad'
vantage over any One.
The effort OF the Independent tt
"juggle" figures so as to make it appear
that the total premiums paid by the state
were all profit to us is so untrue and UNI
fair as to be %laughable to any one knowing
the facts, but misleading to the genera
public.

Luck in Seeds,

II didn't have very good luck with my
seeds last year." a farmer was heard to
say. This gives rise to the question: How
many poor crops a be attributed to
"luck" in the selection of seeds? Buying
seeds is an important factor in farming
and should receive the careful Judgment
and consideration of the farmer. 1t is al
most always impossible to distinguish the
good from the bad in seeds by sight, and
the only infallible guide for the planter is
the reliability of tho scotsman. ID. M.
Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich, have for
many years been the leading seed house Of
this country, aud their reliability is un-
questioned. They issue q book annually
which contains q complete digest of the
very latest gardening Knowledge by the
best authorities. The 1893 edition is hand
somely illustrated and contains illtOrma-
ton about the selection and planting of
seeds which will prove Of tia greatest
value to every planting . garden or
farm. 1t IL mailed free to any N making
application to tho firms address.

THE SOUTHERN man who opposes the
removal of the tariff on every thing ex-
cept luxuries is not, according to men
who have lived and died with the re-
mutation of being wiser than their fell
lows, a Solomon in his day and genera
ton. So superior are the natural
facilities of the South for all kinds OF
manufacturing, that her manufacturers
don't need a protective tariff to enable
them to compete successfully with their
foreign rivals. With the northern
manufacturers it is just the reverse.
So handicapped are they by the lack Of
the sort of facilities referred to, that they
can only compete successfully with
their foreign rivals by means of the as
sistance afforded them by heavy tariff
tax imposed upon the products of the
latter, which they add to the price OF
their own. Were the tariff abolished,
most of the northern manufacturing
plants would be moved to the South, in
order to reap the natural advantages
possessed by this section, and the
southern States would soon become the
great storehouse from which all the
commercial world would draw its sup
plies of manufactures.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-The
steamship Alameda, which arrived

brings news that all is quiet at the is

change in the situation. Up to the
time the Alameda sailed Minister Will
lis had made no intimation to the gov

United Press correspondent at Homo

has made no intimation this govern
ment of any special communication
with which he may be charged. Nor
is it known that he has any. The city
is daily alive with strange rumors of
the minister's intentions. Three days

upon the American minister merely to
pay her respects. On the same day a
committee Of the American League ten
dered reception to Minister Willis,
at which he delivered an address in
diplomatic terms. a phrase implying
that his action was limited by the
specific instructions, was construed by
royalist adherents as meaning that he
had positive orders to restore the
Queen and the royalists appeared on
the streets in a more boastful and ag-
gressive mood.

IT hoped that the tariff bill which.
though democratic majority in Con-
cress was elected more than year ago,
on promise to remove or reduce the
tariff tax, has not yet been completed,
will, when reported, not restrict the re-
movals and reductions of the tax to
that on raw materials, most of which
are southern products, but include in
them that on manufactured articles
also, so that all the people of all the
country may reap the benefits of a
tariff that will decrease the cost of liv-
ing. If the tax be removed on coal.
iron ore, wool, lumber and other raw
materials, there is no good reason why
that on the articles made Of such ma
terials should not also be removed, for
the cost of bringing foreign raw mate
rial TO this country is a sufficient pro-
lection to the manufacturers against
foreign competition.

Mr.. John n. Popham, of Virginia,

Isthmus of Panama, is now on voyage
of return to that country, having sailed
from New York thence day or two
ago. He has gone on no official bust

property situated about two hundred
miles to the north of the Isthmus, which
Senator John p. Jones, of Nevada, has
contracted on certain conditions to be-
gin to work as soon as the necessary
machinery can be transported to the
place of operations. Popham procured
an option on this property of very
liberal character, and Senator Jones, at

Popham. From Panama the parties
will go on mule back to the mines an
