AN OBJECT LESSON ON
STATE BANKS.

A letter in yesterdays Dispatch,
from Floyd Courthouse, contains the
following;
Twenty head of two and three
year old cattle were sold by the sher-
i'll ut an average price of S9.05 per
head. These cutie few years ago
would have brought 800 or more
apiece. While the great financial
cehters are congested with currency,
III ths country money is scarcer than
ever known before, and the great
mass of people sorely distressed. The
farmers Lave horses and cattle in
abundance to sell, but there is no
mon"y in the country to buy them"
If the largest cattle dealer iu the
world had attended that sale with
one hundred thousand dollars of cur
rency i'll his pocket, we doubt ex
tiemely whether the cnttle would
have sold for ceut more. Cattle
and horses are cheaper than ever be
fore at the money centers, where
money may be borrowed ut one per
cent. They have fallen in price from
$40 to 50 05 apiece for the same rea
son that wheat has fallen from dol.
lar bushel to its present brice.
More wheat is raised than the world
wants, and the price of wheat has
consequently gone down. More cat.
tie Is raised than the world wants,
and consequently the price of cattle
has gone down.
But we have no doubt, neverthe.
less, that the people of Floyd county
are very greatly embarrassed for
want of circulating medium with
which to transact their business. 1t
is Just as this writer says "the farm.
ers have horses and cattle in abund
ance, but they can get no money
we do not mean they cannot sell
them at the present prices of horses
aud cattle, and thus get their money
value. But if they saw an opportun
ny to turn their horses and cattle to
iuuch better account by having some
money to conduct business opera
ton with. they would be powerless to
get the money, although they have
this great stock of horses and cattle.
which entities them 10 high credit.
Let any one of these farmers 60 to
the Nationa! Ranks of Lynchburg or
Richmond and ask for loan of
money upon the credit which his land
and horses and cattle ought rightly
to give him, and he will find 1T diff
cult to borrow dollar. Why? BE.
cause the managers of these banks
do not know him They reason to
themselves, This man NAV own
lands and horses and cattle, but he
may be scamp, and he may have in
his pocket at this moment a deed to
pat on record as soon Us lie gets our
money"
What these farmers want is bank
ct Floyd Courthouse, the managers
OF which know them, and will lend
them money according to the deserts
OF each one. The bank will never
start until it is allowed to issue it's
own notes, for the reason that the
countrynans habit of transacting
business with actual money in hand.
instead of with checks on bank, ia so
inveterate that the bank can make no
sufficient profit from lending out its
surplus capital aud surplus deposits
only. This is the relief the farmers
OF Floyd county want, and not de
based silver dollars.-Times

|rioqs cities begin to DO authenticated
the outlook for rather troublesom,
problem for the District authoritie,
to solve becomes bright. The ques
ton is, what will be done with tho
Coxeyites after they disband. The
individual members Of the army viii
be without means to get out of the
city and General Coxey has disclaim
ed all intention of leading away the
men he brings in. It begins to lool
as though the men might encamp in
the district and practically cay to the
authorities: Here we are, and what
do you propose to do with u.s."
The district commissioners had
prepared today list of stntutes un
der which Coxoy and his men could
be arrested and dealt with. There is
no lack of law; laws against vagran
rry, against bringing paupers into the
District, against nssrmblages on the
capitol grounds, or professions with
out permit.
Commissioner Bose, the President
OF the Board, todly said that the nu
thorities do not think they will have
trouble in dealing with the Coxey
army, and that he considered the in.
vasion chiefly dangerous because of
the precedent it would establish. II
disgruntled factions were to form the
habit of marching upon the capital in
force to voice their demands, he
thought it would be disturbing to
Legislation and decidedly uncomfort
allie for the residents of the CITY,
There are 400 men on the local pc
lice force, but of course only frnc
ton of tnat body would be available
to handle the Coxnyites, and the
probabilities are tina, it would be
necessary to call upon the militia for
assistance. There are 1000 troops,
so we'll drilled that they could be
:nassed in marching order on two
hours notice. General Albert Ord
way is their commander.
CUMBERLAND, MD, April 16.-The
army of the comnonweal will leave
Tuesday morning early on canal
boats for Hancock, the next stop.
1t may be that this route will be con.
tinued to Hugerstown. Tonight the
camp will be broken and the boats
loaded. The men are being well fed
and are enjoying their feast after the
prolonged fare of bareback.
For breakfast oyster SOUP, coffee,
brend and jam, pork aud beef were
supplied in abundance. Dinner aud
supper were served rs abundantly.
This action has in u great measure
allayed the feeling of discomfort
among the great number who fnvor
following the leadership of the "Un-
known" and Coxey, Jr, who we're ig
unanimously discharged at Frostburg.
1t is rumored that several SEQ, of
unemployed from various points, who
are camping beyond the coke works,
are being organized for an opposition
march to Washington. A public
meeting was held at the Academy of
Music this evening, at which General
Coxey and Marshal Browne spoke.

placing OF wool on the tree list, nnt
the substantial reduction OF the
present duties on woDlen goods
Just how this saving is provided
for by the Wilson bill in shown il.
the following paragraph FROM th,
Baltimore Sun:
"Of the total $TG,OOO,OOO of tariff
taxation taken off by the bill,nearIy
one third is made up of reductions
in the Mckinley rates on wO0leu
manufactures. Besides the reduc
ton on imported wooden goods in 81
finished state, all raw woods ar.
transferred to the free list. The to
tai amount of tariff taxes collected
on raw woods in 1893 was over So.
100000. Altogether, therefore, the
wool schedules of the Wilson bill
represent II remission of taxation

ed by the protected interests from
the consumers, it will he seen that
il the Wilson biz had no other
clauses in it than those which re.
late to wool ind WOODEN goods, it
would leave at least $3.50. 100000 i'm
the pockets of the American people,
which, under the Mckinley regime,
has been and still is heing taken
out of them every year"
A measure which will save the
head of every family, in his annual
WOODEN purchases alone, the price
of suit Of clothes, and will enable
him in many other ways to live
more cheaply or better, should meet
with the approval Of every Ameri.
can citizen.
In addition to this. it is admitted
that the changes in the WOODEN
schedules will stimulate the wool
raising industry. The Democrats
are not alone in this claim. for such
eminent Republicans as John Shcr
man and Senator Allison have
frankly admitted this to be true,
and the prices of wool in the past
under high tariff and no tariff laws
will bear it out
The wool schedule alone is sufIi.
Gent to commend the Wilson bill to
ever consumer in the country.

RUMORS OF COAL DEALS

just at present the conl mining in
dustry is most fruitful in rumors of
impending deals aud coming strikes.
There is scarcely a coal operator
who does not look forward with ap.
prehension to next Saturday; when
all the miners in the country have
been called upon to strike.
In Tennessee compliance with the
order is feared, and fu. Their lawless
ness is apprehended, however Just
such fears may be or how well found
ed. AT Jellico the question seems
settled that the miners will 60 out in
'mpliance with the order, and the
little border town seems not ct all
overioyed at the prospects.
From the Mirgo Mountain dis
trict, information, while not official,
yet based upon good information,
points to compliance with the order
by all the Union miners, which will
leave some one hundred and fifty
non union men at work.
Coupled with these rumors of al
most general compliance with the
strike order, come rumors of LARGE
impending deals for the purchase Of
val liable coal properties i'll ills vicin-
ity.
First, is ore that a synd cat, of
Boston capitalists is negotia ing for
the purchase of part, if moi all, the
principal mines of the Jtllico dis
trict, and while operators interested
deny the truth of the rumor, still in
the conversations with some, tue i'm
preston is left that there may be

much explanation and denial
The firm has now become ridiculous.
Its members have repeatedly objected to
the criticisms Of the press and have now
issued a circular to the press which is
intended more as an advertising dodge"
for the benefit Of their wares, than as an
apology for their mistaken zeal in poli-
tics or an iguoble trick to reduce wages.

position of issuing either a meaningless

Ocean is radical Republican and
crazy protectlonist paper, while the
Stats zeitung is published as
independent. The comma between the
words 'many leading Democratic papers"

does not separate the propositions
sufficiently TO prevent the impression
that those are leading Democratic

THIS is a phenomenally moderate tariff
