the redemption of the national bank
notes and place the sole responsibility
upon the banks themselves, a guarantee
fund OF not less than 30 per cent. upon
the outstanding circulation is regarded Ms
very proper and necessary feature of the
system.
A safety fund, consisting OF only per
cent. upon the circulation, together with
governmental liabilities for redemption
in case the fund should at any
time be insufficient as pro-
posed in one of the plans recently
made public, would, of course, secure the
note holder, but it would pledge the
faith and credit of the United States in
business from which they have no pecun-
larry interest whatever and for that reason
alone, such a system would be quite OBJ
jectionable, and in my opinion, not at
tainable.
In the case of the state banks this guar
antee fund will constitute a permanent
reserve which, together with the indi-
vidual liability of stockholders and the
first lien upon all the assets will make Its
circulating notes entirely safe.
Relative TO the proposed repeal Of the
law requiring national banks to hold q
fixed reserve against deposits, the Secre-
tary says the precautionary restrictions
OF the law enacted over thirty years
ago have been shown by experience to be
unnecessary. The Secretary argnes that
the Government should be entirely
exempt from liability on account Of
national bank currency.
The proposal that no national banknote
less than s10 shall be issued is in order to
provide wider field for tho ac-
tive circulation OF our silver
coins and certificates and to
protect the treasury as far as possible
against the accumulation OF certificates
returned in payment OF customs and other
dues.
He says,on the subject OF revenue reform
OF this country, 10 utilize TO the fullest
extent its opportunities it must adhere
steadfastly and aggressively to the
revenue policy inaugurated by the pres
ent @ ngress at its last session.
A change in our tariff laws was de-
manded by every consideration OF public
duty and private interest and though Con-
gress has not accomplished all that was
expected or desired, il has insugurated a
policy which 1t Is believed Will ultimately
result ia a great improvement in our in
dustrial condition.
In the prosecution OF this policy no
temporary check or apparent diversion of
the public mind to other subjects should
be permitted to diminish our confidence
in its nnli success.
On the contrary, reverses should stimu-
late increased effort, and every movement
hereafter made should be q step forward
in the direction of free trade and q more
equal distribution of the returns of in
dustry.
In advocating free raw materials, the
Secretary says the late act left iron and
lead ores and bituminous coal, together
with several other articles OF
less consequence, still dutiable, thus
not only failing to present consistent
system OF revenue reform but leaving
some OF our most valuable industries at a
great disadvantage as compared with their
rivals differently located.

Christian Endeavorers Bloclsaded.

CLEVELAND, July 3.-The great strike
and boycott against the Pullman cars
threatens to work havoc with the at
tendance of the Christian Endeavor
convention, which meets in Cleveland
next week. The difficulty in getting
over the road and the probability of Sc
rious delays if travellers leave home
while the railroad world is in such a
turmoil are already having effect. Mes
sages from passenger agents of all the
local lines who are now out looking up
this business indicate that the people
are pretty well scared and that many
have already made up their minds to
stay at home rather than run the risk
of being laid out along the line. On
July 5 a special train load of Endeavor-
ers was to have left San Francisco for
Cleveland. AS there is not a wheel
turning on any road out of that city
and no likelihood of any change for
several days that delegation will be
wanting at the general assembly.

Wild says none of the employees here re-

employees Sunday night. was not salts

Serious Effects of the Freight Bioclsade.u
CLEVELAND, July 3.-The effects of
the freight blockade in Chicago are be-
ginning to be felt in Cleveland. The
first article of consumption to be seri-
ously affected is hogs, which climbed
up at the stock yards at a lively rate
yesterday under pressing demand
and not half enough to go around
Fresh pork Immediately followed suit
and there is no telling where the prices
will be in day or two.
Live hogs have been lowering around
the S. per hundred pounds figure for
several days past. Early Monday
morning they jumped to SO and offers
beyond that were more numerous than
were hogs to supply the offers. There
are absolutely no supplies in sight from
the west and there seems likely to be
none during the blockade, as Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas and the Dakotas furnish
the bulk of porkers for this market.
The same condition is apparent in the
beef trade, which is only slightly less
dependent upon freight transit through
Chicago than the pork business.

CONTINUES TO SPREAD.
The Situation with Reference to the Big
Strike Renewed.


CHICAGO, June SO.-The roads affect
ed Friday by the strike were the AL
ton, the Burlington, the Wabash the
Northwestern, and possibly the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific. Some
men of the latter road held mass
meeting at Blue Island and shortly be-
fore midnight decided to walk out.
All the Alton switchmen quit. Those
on the Burlington walked out in the
morning, but half of them went
back at noon. The detection on the
Northwestern was confined to 200
clerks and shopmen. On the Pennsyl-
vania road the day switchmen refused
to obey the order to strike. The
threatened walkout at the stock yards
took place at Z p. IN. The effect in
Packingtown will be serious and it is
a question if any of the big houses can
operate much longer. The switchmen
on the Grand Trunk at Elsdon went
out at midnight.
The General Managers association
has announced that no striker would
ever be employed by the road whose
services he quits, and that all men re-
iuoihb w pCiioi VA ouOiSo arc W
be instantly discharged and never re-
employed.
Debs received two setbacks during
the day, one from the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, who told him they
had nothing in common with him and
would not aid him in any way, and the
other from the Switchmens Mutual
Aid association, which politely de-
clined his offer to go Ion strike" with
him.
The Illinois Central was driven back
Friday night in the fight between the
railroad companies and their striking
employees. 1t telegraphed orders to its
agent in Cairo to take the Pullman
cars off one of the ten trains which
were held there by the strikers and
hurry it through to Chicago as fast as
possible.
Considering the Importance of the
road; it's admitted fighting qualities
the terrible pressure which the Amer.
lean Railroad union brought to bear
on the entire system, and the bold
front presented from the beginning by
its general officers, the strikers claim
that this order sent to Cairo is evi'
dence that the road is weakening.

heat while dancing. He died before
medical aid could be obtained. John
Bell, young man 16 years of age, was
drowned in the Lake Erie & Western

number of other boys, had been play
ing baseball and went into the water
while very warm. 1t is supposed young
Bell was seized with cramps, as he was
an expert swimmer.
