THE COUNTY SEAT.
IT SHOULD BE LOCATED At LrHIeH-
TON.


We Rave an Excellent site on Ground Not
Leased. No Noise or Foul Odors but Free
aud Healthy. Then Let 1t Come Here,
For number Of years past, off and
on this newspaper has said that the
County Seat of Carbon county should
be Lehighton, and just so often have
we set forth the why and the where
fore for this claim. There we're those
however who said that this was inn
possible and so the matter stood. In
the meantime, however, changes i'm
counties aud new counties have been
made and it now looks as if Lehighton
had at least fighting chance, and our
people with no exception intend to
take advantage of it.
Why should it not be here
There is no place so well suited as is
Lehighton. Excellent railroad accom-
modatations, good hotels, and above
all site for the Court House that has
no equal in the county. Afull square on
an emiuence, located with South street
the south, North street on the north,
Third street on the west and Second
street on the east; easy of access, with
good air, plenty of light and water and
only five minutes walk from the Lehigh
Valley station at one end of town, and
from the Jersey Central station at the
other end of town. Compare this with
the site now occupied by the County
Buildings, at Mauch Chunk the
Court House is on ground that is
practically leased from the Lehigh
Coal d Navigation Company. Here the
Iand will be decided to the county
There then is noise and confusion
Here, though easy of access and egress,,
is site that is free from noise, by
reason of its distance from railroads
There the Court House will, from ne
cessity, be located back in a hole, with
little light and less ventilation. Here
there will be no such objections. Are
these not reasons sufficient why
Lehighton should be the county
capital Our people are satisfied that
it should be left to vote of the peo-
pie at least and will abide by such a
decision.
To secure this end there was citi-
zen's meeting at the Exchange Hotel
on Saturday evening. b. j. Kuntz,
presided. Among the prominent men
present we're Jos. Obert, W. b. Ash,
John Obert, Philip Miller, County
Commissioner Miller, and a goodly
number of others DR.. f. |. Smith stated
the object of the meeting. The chair
man stated that he and Commissioner
Miller had been to Allentown to see
Senator Henninger on the matter and
that the latter gentleman would advise
them by Monday what course to take.
Following this advice adjournment was
made until Wednesday evening.
The public meeting of our citizens
in the interest of making Lehighton
the county seat was continued We'd
nesday evening in the basement of the
Exchange Hotel. Burgess Kuntz pre-
siden aud Mr.. Beidler acted at secre-
tary, Following many expressions of
assistance and good will from our peo
pie the following committee were ap-
pointed to report at a meeting to be
held at the same place on Monday eve
ming next. b. j. Kuntz, Joseph Obert,
p. j. Kistler, Val Schwartz, r. II. Rof-

In Mauch Chunk there are thirty arc
ligl t. burning all night and every dark
night In the month, for which they pay
Sl20 a light a year. The borough Of
Weatherly operates lis own plant with
thirty arc lights. The estimated cost is
$50 light a year. Lansford borough
found 1t Improbable 10 run It's own plant,
and sold out to the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
CATION Company. The latter has agreed Ia
furnish lights all night lor certain term Of
years al 500 a light year.
Lehighton has the miserable little incan
descent light that is hardly worth picayune
The Carbon County improvement Com
panY however, will soon present 70 COunci
proposition to furnish the arc light a.
figure less than anY of the above, an
when Il comes the proposition should
very seriously considered. Nobody denie

STATE BANKS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The party that is soon
to assume control OF the government
advocated in the past campaign, the
repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on st ate
banks. This was generally understood
to mean the repeal of State banks as
banks of issue, but under government
supervision.
Now we presume that this demand
was in answer to the Alliance demand
of the Sub-Treasury plan or some bet,
ter system, assuming that State banks
would be the long sought something
better. During the campaign various
rumors were af1oat that the measure
was not acceptable to Mr.. Cleveland,

Mr.. Cleveland would approve of such

Mr.. Cleveland would approve of such
a measure.
IfthiS be true, and we have no reason
to doubt it a. yet, then it is certainly
proper that the measure should be
properly discussed and explained to
the people, that they may know
whether 1T would be wise or otherwise.
During the turmoil of the political
campaign no one expected an honest
exposition of anything. But now when
quietness reigns this matter can be
fully Investigated. | am sure nothing
could be of more interest to thinking
men generally. And it is a desire for
further light that prompts me to write
this letter.
Will it result in good for the mRsses7
That is the great question. According
to my imperfect understanding of the
question, it will provide for the issue
by the banks Of circulating notes based
on State. county, town, and railroad
bonds That these notes r expected
to perform the function Of money, but
at the same time are not to be legal
| tenders for any debts, either public or
private-to be accepted or rejected &C
cOrding to the pleasure of the creditor.
Aside from the real merits OF the
| QuCSU1O1lN AZ GCLL ~ Lax GL4C@ OA44O X AK
admission on the part Of the Demo
cratic party that the volume Of money
in circulation is not sufficient to trans
act the business of the country. This,
| coming from a party containing 80
| many voters and SO much intelligence,
is certainly a valuable admission at
this time.
But is this particular plan a wise one?
Would these bank notes containing no
fiat of the government be accepted by
any but the debtor class? And if de-
MED free circulation would they not re-
suit in injury to the debtor who would
be compelled to borrow this kind Of
money or none? Even we're they to
prove acceptable in payment of debts
and the general transaction OF bus1
ness, how would this new circulating
medium be distributed? What rates
of interest would be charged? What
kind of securities would the farmers
be compelled 80 give for it, or would
they be allowed to borrow 1t az all, at
first hand? Would the note of interest
be as low as the rate of income from
general business and especially from
farming9 If not would it not soon be
concentrated into the money centers
and into the hands of those who now
| COUOEOl Gu0 u1OA0S VI UAO OOOASAJ Z
| Would MT the spectators and money
lords be able to control this medium
and contract and expand at will, as in
the national banking system7 When
a bank failed what would be the status
| of the outstanding nOtes2
l believe these questions ought to be
fairly answered. They may be lgnor-
ant and childish to experts, but they
appear important to me, and l believe
would appear so to many others.
Why not have a fair discussion Of
this question in THE PROGRESSIVE

teresting to great many Of its readers.

The FARMERS SIDE.
Where We arc, how ws got here,
and the way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
r. CREATOR from KAWEAS,


There is a demand for q comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
Sncss surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is TER FAKNER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribeS the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with tbs
condition of men in other callingS. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, of living, the prices
crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms Of business, and he compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and aCo
wags-workSrs in general. In = clear, forcihls
style, with abundant ~oitations of facts and fg-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fell
lows an elaborate discussion of The Way cut"
which is the fullest and NEST authoritative pres
sntation Of the aims and views of the FarmsT1'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters Of vital consequences.
This book is the only one which attempts IS
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which TIA
farmer ought to have at hand.
TIE FARMERS SIDE has just been issuo1,
and makes > handaeRe and subEtsntial book
of 29o pages. We have arranged with the pub
Iishsrs for its sals to our readers at the pub
Iishers' price. The book may be obtained az
