premium were offered Tor making figures
seemingly lie, by illogical and unWar-
ranted deductions, he would easily win
it. Apart from his reputation az a ma
nipulator of statistics, he has won some
notoriety by tracing the increase Of des.
titution among the lsborlng GLASSES to q
waste in cooking.
In an article on "Fsrm Mortgage Sta
tistics," in the Forum for May, Mr.. At
kinson exercises his peculiar ability in
making the best possible showing for
debtor farmers, by Rn unusual sacrifice
Of Candor, and then takes the extraordi-
nary position that the more farmers owe,
the better they are of. The comparative
increase Of farm mortgage debt within
given time is the true measure Of agri-
cultural prosperity. The farm indebted
ness, which increased 156 per cent.
during the last census decade, while
population increased less than 25 per
cent, indicates thrift and was q "pro-
Rressive" increase. AS Mr.. Atkinson
says: "This view Of the matter is the
very reverse Of the construction which
10 usually given to these facts" He
might have added that his view is the
reverse Of the construction that will con-
tinue to be given them by all persons
who use figures to illustrate the truth
and not merely to bolster special pleas
in behalf of class interests.
According to Mr.. Atkinson, the most
striking evidence Of national prosperity
is that between 1880 and 1889, inclusive,
9,5l7,747 mortgages were executed upon
farms and lots, to the amount Of $l2. .O94,-
877,393, while at the close of the decade
$6,019679,9S5 Of the amount remained
unpaid. By drawing further upon the
last census, his position could be greatly
strengthened, assuming that he is right
in estimating q mans prosperity by the
amount he owes and the interest he has
to pay. Our total private indebtedness
at the close Of 1889 was 1919 billion dol
lRrs-a progressive increase Of ID billion
dollars in ten years. This omits the
proof Of prosperity to be squeezed out Of
our national, state, county, town and
municipal indebtedness. So that the 6
billion dollars and more on farms and
lots-lRrgely the mortgsged homes Of
working people-represented at that
time considerably less than one-third Of
the portion Of private indebtedness that
was acknowledged to the census takers.
In supporting his theory, that the gem
ersl prosperity may be truly gsuged by
the amount Of interest which is paid to
money lenders-the greater the sggre-
gate amount Of interest the better for
the debtor class-Mr. Atkinson has to
notice and make some sort OF accounting
for the aggravated distress Of the past
year. This was incidental and charge
able TO congressional and legislative in
reference with the railroad corporations
to tampering with the gold standard of
value and threatening to restore depre-
clated silver to the coinsge.
In making out his case that the farm
ers Of the United States are under de-
lusiOn in suppOsing that they are not
enjoying normal prosperity, Mr.. Atkin-
son omits pertinent facts Of which two
especially essential ones viii be noted
here.
Whiln hn dnan nnk Fail To nHndik tha

proportion Of farms that are occupied by
renters and which is fast duplicating the
tenant system of Europe. The farms Of
the United States may be classified, in q
general sense, with results that are close
to the truth, into three equal divisions
one Of which is occupied by the owners
and unsncumbered, one mortgagsd but
still in possession Of the owners, the re.
naming third being lost to the owners
and occupied by tenants.
The other omission of Mr.. Atkinson
referred to was in failing to note the de-
probation Of farm lands in value within
the period OF which he treats. That de-
probation has not been less than so per
cent within fifteen years, taking the av-
erage OF the whole country. Does the
loss Of many billions Of dollars from this
source bear no such relation to the finsn-
cisl condition Of farmers as would justify
q professional stStistician In taking il
into his calculationsP
The impression Mr.. Atkinson tries to
give of the status Of agriculture flta
badly with the facts and figures in the
case, even taking the mortgage record
as quoted by himself. Still, crushing as
is the agricultural debt, which is covered
by real estate security, the real distress
among producers is far more truly typi-
fed by debts secured by Chattel mortgage.
Nebraska is among the few states which
require registrars Of deeds to keep tAbu-
lated records Of these transactions. For
the year ending May /, 1892, before the
late panic, chRttel mortgages were filed
in Nebraska to the amount Of S25, ,138, ,016,
or more than tWo-thirds OF the amount
represented by real estate mortgages for
the same time. During that year there
were 2, 100 real estate mortgages satisfied
by foreclosure in the productive state of
Nebraska.
The forced infeEencss of Mr., Atkinson
but mock the debt-stihsd industries OF
the nation. He is but the spologist Of
conditions under which about all the
earnings Of industry not required to keep
producers fed and sheltered are passing
into the hands Of money lenders. The
rate at which the producing forces Of the
United States have been compelled to
pile up debt has brought ruin to hundreds
Of thousands and must end in collapse.
The.wealth Of the world is being absorbed
by professional money owners through
the law of interest. Already 2500O0 per-
sons own 80 per cent Of the wealth Of
the United States and have confscstinR
claims on large portion Of the remain
ing 20 per cent.
There can be no peaceful solution of
the vital problem now demanding Rtten-
tion except in q popular uprising and an
independent appeal to the ballot. The
parties and politicians by whom the gov
ernmsnt has been surrendered to greed
and special privilege must be cast adrift.
II farmers aud wsgeworksrs would save
anything and secure the right TO rational

Harvester History.

For the benefit Of the younger genera
tion, We reprint below some interesting
figures from the Deering Farm Journal
showing the dates on which the Marsh
Harvester, the Wire Binder and the
TWine Binder were first put out by the
leading harvester manufacturers. The
older generation does not need to be told.
II remembers Hussey's Reaper in 1888
and the Mccormick some twelve years
later. 1t remembers about reading in
1858 Of the success Of the Marsh Brothers
in their new harvester. It remembers
how the Deering people held the field
alone with this machine during most Of
the seventeen years life Of the patent.
Then, when the patent did expire, the
older generation remembers that William
Deering & Co. came out with the Wire
Binder. This was IN 1874, and the younger
generation even, can remember the rapid
strides that followed. How after this
pioneer in automatic binders had had
the field for three years, Mccormick and
the other manufacturers fell into line;
and how in 1873 the Desring people
spoiled the whole wire binder business
by coming out with the Appleby Twine
Binder. Both old and young must
smile as they now look back at the frantic
attempts made by the late converts to
wire binders, to push that machine In
the face Of the wonderful twine binder,
and how they finally were ell ultimately
compelled to fall into line and manu-
faoture the twine binder under the
Appleby patents. The Farm Journal
tells the story Of the successive steps in
manufacture by means Of q witty drama
entitled "Crow and Quail" which 10
clinched by the following statement:
The following are the dates on which
various manufacturers began building and
putting on the market harveSters, wire
binders and twine binders. The dates for
Deering machines are exact. Those for
competing firms are according TO our best
knowledge.

HOW TO AVOID 1T.

The epitaph on many a tombstone is
"heart failure" No wonder, when we con-
slider the immense strain which is put on
that small organ. Marvellous as it is, beating
100000 times and exerting a force equal to
5,lS4,000 pounds daily, it has its limits
endurance often is too severely tested. So
common are diseases of the heart-though
often for a considerable time without the
suspicious of the afflicted person being in
the least excited-that it is stated that one
person IN four has bad hearth DIR. Franklin
Miles. of Elkhart, Ind, has for years made
a special study of all diseases of the heart,
and his remarkable success has made his
name familiar one in all parts of our land.
He has found the most common symptoms
of heart disease 20 be pain, distress or tender
ness in the chest 0dck, stomach, bowels, left
shoulder and arm, shortleSs Of breath, smother
ing spells, fainting etc.

A Democratic View.

Hepburn, the attorney of the
Northern Pacific railroad, will be
at Boise anxious to quit $4,000
job in North Idaho and take $4,000
job in the U. S. senate. We believe
the republicans of Washington
county realize the vast and appalling
power the railroads are beginning
to weld in the political system of
our country sufficiently to oppose
the sending of another railroad
lawyer to Washington. We he
lieve that our republican friends
and neighbors of this county are in
the majority in favor of that
able young statesman from the
north, whose character and acts
meet the applause of democrats and
populists when they cannot have a
man from their own ranks. "
feel certain that the republicans of
Washington county would stand up
in a body and say ave want the
interests of silver looked after more
than all else this is a time when
the fate of the white metal is hang
in the balance. Send Willis Sweet,

Senators Shoup and Wolcott.

We think that there is no doubt
but hat he Legislature which has
just been elected in Colorado will
re-elect, without division, Senator
Wolcott. This is as it should be.
We believe Colorado is the best
equipped state in somo respects in
a senatorial way of any state in the
Union. Senator Teller is tireless
worker. He is a bundle of Stats
tics. When he makes an argument
in the Senate men opposed to him
may sheer ; they can never answer
it, for he makes it and braces it at
every point, and is about the best
working Senator in all the royal
band. On the other hand, Senator
Wolcott, compared to Senator Teller
is what in the army the cavalry is
compared with the artillery. If
any dash is to be made, if thirty
minute speech is to be made, if an
inspiration is to be required, or
challenge to be met off hand, Sen
ator Wolcott is the man, and he
fills the requirement exactly.
We do not know how things are
in Idaho, but from this distance our
hope is that the men of that state
will try to appreciate the manifold
and eminent services which have
been performed for them by Senator
Shoup. Senator Shoup went to
Washington without very much
experience in legislative matters.
He has simply lived his own steady
straight, generous, splendid life,
and by doing so has drawn to him
the affection and respect of every
senator of both parties, and when
he wants anything, every one of
of them wants to help him. In
that capacity he has been able to
serve Idaho magnifcently. He
could 60 back with renewed in
ffuence, for he sways men as George
Washington did, not by any out
ward dash, but simply by the re-
Election which comes down from his
own high and incorruptible charac-
ter. Everyone realizes that.
Whether he is an orator or not,
whether he is writer or not, wheth-
er he is politician or not, no mat
ter. Behind all the rest there is
the man with a character which
shines out from his soul and gives
him an influence which we think
the people of Idaho could not find
In any other man they might select,
although Idaho is peopled by a
splendid race. We confess to par
ticular personal interest in Senator
Shoup. We know how high and
incorruptible be stands. We know
something of the depth and strength
of the character he possesses. We
know something of his influence
among the brilliant men of the
East, and Idaho, whenever she hon
ors him, will be sure to be honoring
herself.-Salt Lake Tribune.
