Gov. Stone Delivers a Red-Hot
Free Silver and Low Tariff
Speech.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 22.-Hun-
dreds of Democrats met at picnic at a
park near here this afternoon under
the auspices of the Aurora club and
listened to a red-hot free silver, low
tariff speech by Gov. w. J. Stone. In
opening his speech the governor
launched forth into strong low tariff
plea. He told why cotton and farm
products were low, because England
fixed the price. Then he lauded Cleve-
lands tariff message and told how the
country had awakened in 1890 to the
fact that it had been wronged bv mon
opoliSts and by class legislation for
years. He then referred in glowing
terms to the great tariff reform victory
of last fall. In bitter words he spoke
of the sudden change in the policy and
issues OF the country in tour months
and declared holly: Tariff reform has
been lost in the struggle, and the
Mckinley law is still on the statutes
and seems likely to remain there
for possibly years to come. Were we
lying then when we attributed all our
Ills to the high protective system, or are
we lying now when we lay everything
to the Sherman law? There were hard
times before the Sherman law was
forced through congress by Tom Reed.
The farmers of the West had complained
OF hard times ten years ago."

New York Custom House.

The committee appointed to investi-
gate the New York custom house is
unearthing very interesting condition
of affairs. Everything that is touched
is found to be rotten. a good sample
of this was shown the committee
by j. Wertheim, of the Cigar
Manufacturers association, when
testifying regarding the tobacco
frauds. Mr. Wertheim produced
statement from the acting chief of the
bureau of statistics, which showed that
the importation of leaf tobacco suitable
for wrappers from the Netherlands for
eleven months, ending May 81, 1893,
amounted to 4.7l9,906 pounds, on which
duty was paid at the rate of 81 per
pound. Mexico sent us 2.029 pounds of
such tobacco. and Cuba 47,4S0 pounds.
This statement. Mr.. Wertheim claimed,
demonstrated fraud on a wholesale
scale. because all that tobacco would
only be sufficient TO cover 5000, 900
cigars. when it was well-known fact
that there are dozen manufacturers of
cigars in the United States who each
make double that number of cigars
having imported wrappers in year.

eminent is defrauded," said Mr.. Vert

many into an erroneous impression re-

niticant the silver mining interest is in
the new state, and to these it will be
revelation to learn that in the year 1892
alone South Dakota produced almost
double as much gold as was mined of
silver in the eleven years from 1882 to
1892. TO be exact, the mines of South

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Comptroller
OF the Currency EckIes is greatly
pleased over the manner in which the
national banks of Minnesota weathered
the storms of the past few weeks, and
in the August number of the North
American Review he will make special
mention of the solidity of the Minnesota
banks. As was stated in the GLOBE
shortly after MI. EckleS took charge of
this office, he was agreeabIy surprised
al the showing made by the Minnesota
banks in the first call made by him. He
knows of the wonderful growth of the
State during the last decade and had
gained an impression that t had lead to
great deal of speculation, but he
early learned his mistake.
There seems to have been no reck-
less expansion of credits in Minnesota
such as have been shown in some cities
further west" said Mr.. EckleS, land as
a consequence the Minnesota Banks are
in splendid condition. The statement
of the amount of gold held by the banks
OF st. Paul alone was a revelation to
me-"
Luckily for Minnesota, its people Of
all degrees and conditions, the state is
classed in the Eastern money centerS as
ali honest money commonwealth, and
the banks considered as among the most
conservative in the country. Were the
state overrun with the demagogues that
are so numerous in Kansas and Col
orado, the results would have been the
same. The great bank failures In
Denver were due to the failure of East
ern bankers to come to the relief of the
Denver men. as they would have done
had they not been afraid of losing their
money. The assets of all of tie failed
banks were far in excess of the liabili-
ties, but in these days, when capital is
demanded in solid places, it is certainly
not likely to seek any localities where
reputation is openly preached. Min
neSota is certainly fortunate at this
time in being so highly considered In
the East,and when revival in business
comes the North Star state will be the
first to reap the beuetits.
