to Send Them East.
DENVER, Col, July 21.-The closing
down of many silver mines and smelt
ers and the reduction of the working
forces of coal mines railways and man.
ufactories in this state because of the
fall in the price Of silver, has clused a
deplorable condition of affairs among
the laboring classes.
1t is estimated that to-day there are
in Denver 10000 men unable to secure
employment, and that there are 10000
in outside towns in the same condition.
one-half of whom are making their way
to this city, where they will become
a public charge il conditions do
not speedily change. In order to
avoid this, all the commercial bodies
in this city will meet with the
representatives of eastern roads this
evening and the latter will be asked to
make IS rate from here to the Nilsson
ri river for this class of people. 1t is
argued that these men are not paupers,
but if they can get into the agricultural
districts they will be able to secure en-
ployment in harvest fields, where men
will soon be in demand.

National Banking.

A correspondent asks little light on
the method of procedure Of national
bankers. A man who desires to start
a national bank must first get govern
ment bonds. If the government wants
to borrow any money be can get the
bonds from the Secretary of the Treas
ury at par; if not he must buy from
somebody who has them, at market
price which. owing to demand for
them as "basis" for national bank
circulation has for several years been
considerably above par. He then takes
his bonds to the United States Treasury
and deposits them as security for loan
from the government of 80 per cent of
the face OF the bonds in bank notes,
which the government prints and loans
him at one per cent a year. Called
national bank circulation tax Then
he is ready to start his bank. He opens
his doors with the sign, "money to
Loan and he loans it too, for money is
scarce, at from eight to thirty per cent.
He continues to draw the interest on
bonds, semi-annually in advance in
gold, just as though he had them in his
own safe instead of the U. S. Treasury
Government bonds and national bank
notes are both exempt from taxation.
Our correspondent can figure out for
himself why the national bankers think
the people are set OF dolts for wanting
national banks abolished. He can also
figure out why the people call advocates
of such robbery system hard names

The exports of cotton from India
have increased from $39,57O 600 in
1879, to S82,665 900 iu 1891. While
the export of cotton goods in the same
period has increased from S4,658, 500
to S33, 1875, 725, and other mauufac-
lures of cotton from $8,22O,625 to
$l4, 34S, $40, in 1891, and are increas-
ing every yeaI, The above facts con-
firm the prediction made in 1885 by
Sir Robert N. Fowler, the London
banker and ex.Lord Mayor, shat the
effect of the depreciation of silver must
finally be the ruin of the wheat and
cotton industries of America, and be
the development of India as the chief
wheat and cotton exporter Of the
world :"
1t is evident that if our excess OF
wheat and cotton went, abroad at the
prices they would bring with silver at
$l.29 an ounce, the same quantity
would bring US 40 per cent more, or it
would pay 40 per cent more debt, and
there would be so much the less bal
ance to pay in gold. In other words.
the higher the price at which our
exports go abroad the more debt they
will pay, and the less need for gold to
pay balances.
