son in Washington has had the monoto-
ny broken up by the report, apparently
from an authentic source, that Mr..
Cleveland slept 80 hours out of the go
he spent aboard the yacht Oneida. The
causes can be summed up in the well
worn phrase, exhaustion from over
work.
1t is difficult to understand in what
the overwork consists. 1t is the singu-
lar development in an office holders ca
reer that no sooner does he find the op-
portunity for fleeing from his desk than
he embraces it. just as soon as a prom
inent official leaves Washington and ex-
hibits any sign of that relaxation which
in ordinary mortals would be character
lied as ''picnic" there is a chorus of
sympathetic and sycophantic voices
raised in apology and explanation for the
junketer.
Speaking of Mr.. Cleveland's reported
Rip Van Winkleism, cabinet officer to-
day said that Mr.. Cleveland must have
recovered very rapidly from his alleged
fatigue, because he had received notice
within a week to visit the President at
Buzzard's Bay in order to discuss with
him certain matters of interest which
could as we'll be left for the Presidents
return.
The Democrats are not at all pleased
with the stories of Mr.. Cleveland physi-
cal exhaustion, nor do they take kindly
to the reports, attributed to DIR. Bryant,
that Mr.. Cleveland has no organic
disease. They think, and properly so,
that because of the mere declaration that
the President has no organic disease, as
announced to the world, some defect is
suspected.
There has been nothing in Mr.. Cleve-
lands manner of transaoting public bus
mess since his second election to the
Presidency differing from that observed
when he served his first term. He then
had periodic attacks of rheumatism,
which were dated back to the time when
he was Mayor of Buffalo.
Another part of the midsummer ro-
nance relating to President Cleveland
which makes him appear disappointed
with certain members of his Cabinet is
vehemently denied here. The only one
associated with Mr.. Cleveland in con-
Quoting the iaffairs of the government
with whom he could be supposed to have
become weary is his private secretary,
Mr. Thurber, who has, in forgetful mo-
ments of ecstatic rhapsody, alluded to
Mr.. Cleveland as shat great and good
man, much to Mr.. Cleveland's annoy
ance. Mr.. Thurber. however, is not a
Cabinet officer, and not likely to be one.
1t may be that Mr.. Cleveland has not
found each member of his official family
promptly responsive to his views on all
questions, and particularly in regard to
financial matters; but a little thing like
that would not bother Mr.. Cleveland.
He defines the policy for his admins
tration, and those who are associated
with him are bound to follow. The only
possibility of change in the ssbihet
will be the desire, on Mr.. Cleseland's
part to honor Mr.. Gresham OF Mr..
Carlisle with position on the supreme
bench.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
Over Five Hundred Failures Reported in
the Past Week.


Over Five Hundred Failures Reported in
the Past Week.
New YORK, July 21.-Bradstreets re-
ports 527 failures in the United States
this week, the largest number for a week
on record, against ITO in the third
week of July, 1892.
The Weeks Long List.
New YORK, July 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS and Russell & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says the failures during the past
week number 467 in the United States,
against 1853 last year.
EckeIs is Confident.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Mr. Eckels,
comptroller of the currency, is still of
the opinion that the worst is over and
that the failure of a majority of the ma
tional banks that are insolvent represents
nothing more serious than a temporary
inability to pay sums of money that
could have been provided had the panic
stricken stockholders given reasonable
notice.
Reports received from nearly all the
national banks in New York city show
them to be in excellent condition not
withstanding the great demands that
have been made of them.
The statement of the condition of the
Brooklyn national banks of July 10, un-
der call for statement showing their
standing at the close of the business on
that day, shows that their reserve
amounted to 27.01 per cent and resources
to SIT 7,5S7,573 Twenty-Five per cent is
considered an excellent showing.
Captain Thacher's Story.
DENVER, Col, July 81. - Captain
Thacher of Aspen is back from Washing
ton. He says he had personal talks with
Secretary Carlisle and President Cleve-
land, who assure him that they will not
try for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman Silver law. He says they have
substitutes under consideration as fol-
lows: One for free coinage at an in
creased ratio and the retirement of all
paper money under five dollars. Second,
the free coinage of four million ounces
monthly, with seignorage for the coinage
of foreign bu lion. Third, the re-enact-
ment of the Bland law, making the coin
age of four million ounces month COM
pulsory.
Captain Thacher is thoroughly respon-
sible and positively asserts that
these views are direct from the President
and secretary.

III. F. Hixson, Phi. D., state lecture

III. T. Hixson, Phi. D., state lecturer
of the Wisconsin State Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union, spoke at
the city hall, Mineral Point, on Mon
day evening, upon the subject Of
lizard Times, and how to remedy
Them He had large and intelligent
audience and he spoke fiuently and elo-
quently: but many of the views which
he expressed were not only unsound
but positively harmful as the rule and
guide of political action. That portion
of his speech relating to the currency
was particularly bad. The fiat OF the
government. the guinea's stamp .
was all and all to him. Verify, Comp
troller Eckles was right in saying that
1.-THE advocates of sound money
must not rest content with the vantage
ground which now is theirs. The de-
claimer advocating a money cheap
and plenty is yet abroad in the land,

New York Wants State roads.


The experience of every well informed
man teaches that in each and every case
where good roads have been constructed
property has advanced to such an extent
as to make the improvement cost abso-
lutely nothing. Take, for instance, the
building of the Riverside drive in the
city of New York. Before the drive was
projected lots could be bought along the
driveway at $4,000 per lot. At this time
they are sold at $25, 900. Many wealthy
citizens of New York have purchased
lots in the vicinity of Leno1, Mass, be-
cause of the good roads in that section.
Many have also purchased in the state Of
Connecticut for the same reason.
Within the limit of the state of New
York, with its beautiful lakes and grand
mountains, we have sections surprising
in beauty those of any other state. I
believe it would be safe to say that more
than 100000 per year of the money
now expended in Europe by wealthy
citizens of New York state would be ex-
pended in this state, if state roads were
constructed as designed by the Richard
son bill.
The Richardson bill provides that the
question of building state roads shall be
submitted to the people Of the state. It
is an insult to the intelligence of the
people of the state and an implied doubt
as to their judgment to refuse to allow
them to be heard at the polls in this or
any other matter of great public con-
cern.-Cor. New York Tribune

EVERY DAY BUSINESS SENSE.

To The Iowa County Democrat.
You will recognize the following
chunk of philosophy as being part of
William Mckinley, jr.'s speech in
Boston, Nov. "a, 1898.
".Ehere will be less to do at home the
more we have done abroad. The more
free trade we have the more foreign
goods we will have, and the more of
such goods we have in competition
with our own products the less we will
make at home, and the less we make
at home the less labor will be en-
ployed at home, and the less labor
employed at home, the less wages
will be paid at home, and the less
wages paid at home the less will be
spent at home"
That settles it. That closes the de-
bate, of course. We may now re-
nounce the faculty of reason, square
our minds to that of Mckinley, let
him do the thinking for us, and accept
his words as final.
We do this, too, the more readily, for
was he not lately chosen Governor of
great state as the champion, nay the
incarnation, of these profound "prin-
ciples of political economy?
a. The protective tax does not in
crease the price of goods made here,
III fact it diminishes the price THAT
is the reason the manufacturers who
make these goods to sell are so anx-
iously pleading for it,
(2) The laboring people want the
protective tax because it increases
their wages. (This is another reason
why the manufacturers want the tax
as they must pay these increased
wages.)
(3) The effect of the protective
tax is to lower the price of the product
upon which it is laid. (And for this
reason the farmers want it on their
grain and wool.)
"a The protective tax of IS cents
per ton on iron-ore does not increase
the price of i-on-ore. Yet the tax
placed on pigiron made from this ore
is placed on pig-iron to COMPENSATE
for the tax on iron-ore.)
(5.) The protective tax in the
hands of its friends is at once cause
and effect. (There can be no doubt of
this, for the tax is the cause OF high
wages, and wages being high is the
cause of the tax
Co. The more goods we ship from
this country compared with the
amount of goods received in payment
for them, the greater the balance of
trade Gin our favor" (Of course if

While on the surface there is no
political interest manifested in Wis
consin this year, such as an election
would occasion, there is great deal
of political mischief being done in
secret by that vicious organization the
"A. +. A. The Lacrosse Chronicle
says:
1t is dawning on good many peo-
pie that The Chronicle was correct
when, two years ago, it charged that
the "A. T.. A." movement was purely
kn0wnothing in its origin. In many
places it is openly attacking men be-
cause they were born in foreign
countries. The men who are inspir-
ing this dark and secret politics are
Republican knownothings. The Re-
publican party promises to die as its
predecessor, the Wing party did, with
Il know nothing stone around it's neck.
1t inherited what there was of know
nothingism in the country from its old
Wing ancestor, and now that power is
slipping from it, it turns as the Wing
party did, against foreigners as the
cause of it's downfall.
AS to the undertaking the Demo-
cratic party will have in hand next
year The Chronicle well and truly says:
The organization of A. p. A. lodges
is progressing rapidly in this state, and
ther" is no doubt but that the Demo-
Gratis will have to meet them next year
at every polling place. That they will
do it and do it bravely there is no
doubt No man can be true Demo
crat without believing in freedom of
conscience as well as In political &C
ton, and no man who belongs to a
secret political society can have the
first principles of American manhood
in him. No such document as the
declaration of independence ever en-
anated from men who were sworn to
attacks upon the liberties of their fell
low citizens.
