OUR A


The Wilmington Messenger of the
4th says six members of the Board of
Engineers of the United States Army
are in that city, having come on a spe-
cial train to inspect the mouth of the
Cape Fear river and sea approaches to
Wilmington with a view to reporting
what manner of Notifications would
be necessary for the defence of Viii
mington in the event of war.
The government intends to erect for
tiications at every point around the
Atlantic coast.
We are as much in favor of protect
ing Wilmington as any city on the
coast, but regard the whole thing as
useless and out of season. The finances
of the government and of the people
will not permit such gigantic expendi-
lures as would be required. To erect
Notifications sufficient to Withstand an
attack from the modern ships OF war
at this time would bankrupt the nation
If the Notifications + insufficient,

IN NEVADA,

Nevada is not as much in debt az
some of the Northeastern and Middle
States, but the monster is growing far
too fast. There are 10, ITO families in
the State. Four thousand and forty,
six families are renters. Real estate
mortgages to the amount of 81, 1Q4, 958
are recorded against the people Of the
State, or about 33.47 per cent. Of the
value of the farms and homes.
The farms in that new State are
large and valuable. The average value
OF the mortgaged farms is $11188;
average value of mortgaged homes
81, 513. Average liens on farms, 50, 7O6;
homes, 81, 155. The rate of interest is
from IL per cent. up. While it isn't
such a bad showing for the State, as
compared with some older ones, it is
enough to show that a few more years
of p%lutocratic gold bugism will put the
people so far in that they can never get
out.

for reference for our reform papers II

Der of our exchanges have reproduced
the statistics from time to time from
columns, but many papers have
not done so. We have called attention
to the articles, hoping the press would
make a united effort to place all the
facts before the public, the reform
press being the only vehicle to get
them before the people. The articles
contained the very essence of the long
reports and were in concise, reliable
form. The facts were given from the
records at Washington, and we're the
strongest arguments in favor OF radical
reform to be procured. Every paper
in the United States ought to publish
the STATISTICS if they can be procured,
and especially this year, when a new
Congress will be elected.
AS some editors may experience diff
fculty in getting the government re-
ports, we will undertake to reproduce
two or three columns of the articles
each week, provided a number of
editors will drop us a card agrt eng to
reproduce at least two or three States
each week for the benefit of their read
ers and the cause of reform generally.
Full particulars and comparisons for
the State of Nevada appear in this
issue, written in about the same style
and length as proceeding articles for
the several States. Others will appear
weekly until the fguresf for every State
are published. Editors wishing to use

BUSINESS FAILURES FoR I80s.


Five or six months ago THE PROGRESS
sTvE FARMER made the prediction that
the business failures for 1893 would
be greater in number than ever before,
and with larger liabilities. Persons
who expected agoldbug administration
to remedy bad matters declared that
the prophecy would not come true.
We put the number at from 16, 600 to
to II, 200. Dun 6 Go. closed their re-
port before the end of the year-about
December 26. Up to that time 16, $50
failures had been reported. 1t is fair
to assume that in the remaining five
days, at the rate the failures had been
occurring for months, the remaining
$50 would have been reported. We
also predicted that the liabilities would
be at least twice as large as during any
previous year-about 5000, 600, 600 be-
ing Highly water mark. Our estimate
was too low by $142, OOO, 900, for the
liabilities of commercial and financial
concerns alone amounted to $542, &c.,
SOB. Add to this the liabilities of rail
roads placed in the hands of receivers,
which was 81, 212, 217, 1873 and we have
the enormous total liabilities of 81, 1884,
597, 636.
The national debt on August 81, 1865,
after four and a half years of disas-
trous war, amounted to 50, 845, 907, 6s6.
In the year 1893, year of peace, which
had been followed by good crops and
everything necessary to produce pros
perity, except enough money, and that
properly distributed, we find that the
liabilities of those who failed in bust
ness, to say nothing of those who owe
money but did not fail, was nearly
two thirds as large as the national debt
after four years of war. If the above
facts and figures are not enough to con
vince every reader that something is
radically wrong; if they will not con
vince every sane man that it is time to
stop this wrangling ove the tariff, the
force bill, race question and other side
issues and vote and work for home and
country. life and liberty, then we are
at a loss to know what will open their
ewes.

REFORM AS REFORM IS.

Just before the adjournment of the
SD Congress, which was Republican
in the Senate and Democratic in the
lower House, some gentlemanly gen
tleman introduced a bill to allow each
Congressman 81, 200 in addition to his
regular salary "for clerk hire" 1t
went through with a whoop. Some of
the Congressman have a clerk, while
others are too honestO to impose on
the government and simply draw the
salary of the clerk themselves. This
piece of unparalleled jobbcry was kept
sacredly secret by the Democratic
organs, but The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
published it less than a week after the
job was done.
Well, time went on, as she always
does, until the extra. session met last
August. The election Of '92.had changed
the political complexion Of both
branches of Congress. There was a
clear working majority in the Senate
and 104 majority in the House. King
Cleveland used his official goad on
them until the Sherman law was re-
pealed and silver demonetized. Then
he said: "boys, you have obeyed me,
now you can go home and rest until
the time for the regular session, which
is December" Then the great(0 re-
form Congressman, with passes in
their pockets and sin in their hearts,
decided to make another haul. The
law allows them 10 cents mileage for
each session Of Congress-1O cents each
way, from their homes to Washington
and return. Be it is known that rail
roads only charge from two to three
cents a mile, but Congress pays itself
10 cents per mile, making from two to
three hundred per cent. profit. But
there was no law to collect mileage for
extra sessions. So they passed 1.-The
urgency deficiency bill" That bill has
been examined and it turns out that
the $175, 900 appropriated was not for
any government expenses, but for
mileage for the Congressman. Thus
it was that in the year 1893 a Demo
cratic Senate and a Democratic House
did something never attempted even
by the Republicans. They drew $780,
600 for mileage when they were only
entitled to mileage for one trip each
way, or $l75, 900. In other words,
they drew 40 cents for each mile trav-
eled when it only cost them 10 cents,
making a clear profit of % cents per
mile. That may suit some people, but
we call it downright ~rascality.

away. America has been withoutcoast
defences much Of the time for more
than four hundred years. The fortif-
cations that have been erected are use,
less, many of them having crumbled
and rusted away. England is our only
formidable foe, and she will not start a
quarrel with us as long as her people
own SO much valuable property and
securities here. This coast defence
business is a long stride toward mon
archy, and, at the same time, a politi-
cal trick. If the United States Gov
eminent can be rescued from the
clutches of pIutocracy and her people
be given a living chance, the patriotism
and loyalty of her citizens will be worth
more than a thousand of the strongest
Notifications that may be built. If
that is done, no two nations On earth
can whip America. Otherwise the
American people will not fire a gun
