"conntrx Is cursed."


The New York Times in it's issue of
Jan. "a, referring to the outflow OF gold
from the United States, asks the follow
ing very pertinent questions:
"Why did it go? 1t did not so for
nothing. 1t did not go to pay for pur-
chases of goods. 1t did not go in SO
great n degree as in the past to pay in
terest ON borrowed capital. 1t went to
pay for American securities which
foreign holders were not inclined to
keep-wcre, in plain English. afraid to
keep. Why We're they afrafd?"
Assuming for Il moment that the New
York Times is correct in saying that our
gold has gone ITO pay for American
securities which foreign holders are not
inclined to keep, We're, in plain English,
afraid to keep" let us answer the ques-
ton "Why We're they afraid?"
English capital was not afraid of
American securities in 1892. There
was nothing the matter with American
affairs during the two previous years,
or while the Mckinley tariff was in
effect without any certain knowledge
that it would be overthrown, SO Why
were they afraid?"
The weakening of the value of Amer
lean securities became noticeable to-
ward the end Of 1892 and Immediately
after the election to Congress of a ma
jority of the party that is pledged to
free trade, the election of whom, by
the way, was somewhat assisted by the
New York Times itself.
Early in the following year, in 1893,
the depreciation in the value of Ameri-
can securities became still more mark
ed. The system of currency was the
same then as 1t is now and as it has
remained for many years past. There
was no hesitation as to the value of
American securities between 1890 and
1892 when our currency was of the
same stability as 1t is to-day. During
those years neither the New York
Times nor any other free trade news
paper could have thought of saying
with any degree of truth, as it does
now, that "disaster and bankruptcy
are possible at any moment"
The New York Times knows just as
we'll as the New York Herald knows
that the value of American securities
has only been depressed by foreign
holders since the advent to power of
that political party which was elected
by the New York Times, the New York
Herald, and their ilk. The New York
Times knows just Is well as the New
York Herald knows that the deprecia.
ton In, the value os these securities has
nothing whatever to do with our cur
rency, but that 1t Is due to the fact that
this American Country is cursed" with
unpatriotic sheets as the New York
Times and the New York Herald, which
IRE forever advocating a policy that
will render disaster and bankruptcy
possible at any moment"
But now having brought this "dis-
nster and bankruptcy" right to our
very doors, or to their very doors, per.
haps. like the contemplate towards
that they are, they are afraid Of the
result, and IRE squirming around seek

London's Trade Improves.

Among the many facts thnt show how
business has been injured by the tariff
reform policy of Clcveland's admins.
tration are the following, in regard to
the transactions of the clearing houses
Of the country:
In the month of December. 1882. the
clearing house returns Of New York
City amounted to $S16.65S,92G, while in
December. 1894. they We're S4Si5, 555:S. vs.
showing that the business in the New
York clearing house during the month
of December, 1894. vas $331 ,1O4, 0:.3
less than it was in December, 1892.
The business done in the clearing
houses outside of New York in Decem-
Der, 1892, was $599. 3D. while in
December. 1894, it was only $4O6. 7743.-
SS3. This shows that the business in
the clearing houses outside of New
York City was $192, $40 4S9 less in De
cember, 1894, than it was in December,
1892. The total falling off in the busi>
ness of the clearing houses of the
United States in Dcccmber, 1894. from
that of December, 1892, was S55223,$44,-
4222
Now notice the loss of business in the
New York clearing house as compared
with that of the London clearing house
during these periods.
In December, 1892, the business of the
New York clearing house, as above
stated. was $S16,65S,926, while the bus.
mess of the London clearing house was
$6O2, 5000, showing that the business
in the New York clearing house sur
passedthato of the London clearing house
in December, 1892, by $214, Zig,
while in December, 1891, the business
done in the London clearing house was
1924, ,976 more than the business
done through the New York clearing
house during that month.
While the business in the New York
clearing house fell off 1881, 1O4, 933 IN
December, 1894, from that of Deem,
Der, 1892, the business in the London
clearing house increased $~1Go,592,oo9.
By footing up the total amount Of bus-
mess done in the city of New York dur
ing the year 1892 and that during the
year 1894, we find the following results:
Business done in 1892 amounted to S.
SAB ,727; business done in 1891
amounted to only $5,S45 G59,O1S, which
shows that the business through the
clearing house of the city Of New York
alone had decreased in 1894 from that
of 1892 to the amount of S$33,O97 Gas.
This great decline in business is due to
the disastrous tariff and money policy
of Cleveland and his party.

Transition.
1892.

Democracy, the party that
Came in in '92.
And set upon our cOuntry's homes
Its iron heeled shoe,
Has filled the nation all around
With van and dire distress,
While starving wives and children pale
Stagger about with piteous tale
OF how the specious Frec-Trade bane
Has chilled the life blood in their vel.
And brought them many Il grief and pain
And men, with mOurnful steps and slow.
Seek work and wages as they 50,
But seek in vain, i'll vain.
1894.
The people long could not submit
To Democratic Free-Trnde sway.
And SO in '94 they rose
And took their power away.
What may we look for, citizens.
Now that light nee more appears?
This we may look for, and will find,
And may God write it on the mind
Of all America:
Confidence will resume her sway
And plenty scare pale want away.
The rose of health again will blush
And children's cries for food will hush
The Wilson bill no more will croak
Nor English goods our markets choke;
Our wheels of industry will hum
For Free-Trade's ides of March have
come. ID. w. Screvcn.

CONGREGATIONS in a single night.
AT q few moments before midnight the
alarm of fire vas turned in from the Bird
Canning C0mpany's factory, situated on
the outskirts of town and consisting Of the
main building, which is a one-story brick,
and three additional buildings, one, the
boiler room, beng brick. and two frame
work rooms and store houses. The whole
plant was a complete loss. The fire de-
partment being handicapped in the short
age of water, a bucket brigade had to be
formed and water Obtaine I from wells To
protect adjoining property. All the stock
that had been put up this year was shipped
to the st. Joe branch of the firm but a few
days since.
At 8 O'Clock the fire had subsidized and
the citizens returned to bed, but scarcely
to be in peaceful rep0se wien again, at 8
O'Clock, the Changing Of the fire bell
brought them to the streets only to witness
the burning of twOOf Tecumsel's substan-
tial business buildings, together with
their contents. Again the fire department
was on hand, but to NJ avail. All that
could be done was to tear away the frame
sheds from the close proximity of the fire
and stand idly by.
The bucket brigade again did effective
work in saving adjoining property.
The fire originated inthe Simpson build
ing, which was occupied Jointly b, Cyrus
Townsend US a livery stable and G. C..
Zutavern as a saloon. Both these men lost
all their property. From here the flames
spread to Emil Phifer's brick block, which
was occupied by A. Frascher. Not a dol
lars worth of this property was saved.
Phifer's loss on building, 81, 600; insurance,
$1,000. Omaha Brewing Associations loss
on stock, $1,000; insurance, $1,000.
Opinions do not differ much as to the
origin of the two fires, the general one be-
ing that it was the work of an incendiary.

ACROSS THE BIG RED.

However, the land question may
be settled, the 1000 citizens of
the United States who have civil
lied and developed the Indian
Territory can not much longer be
deprived of their constitutional
rights of self government. State
Herald.
And so the world goes. One
would think from the above that
somebody was depressing those
300. 900 people. who with their
eyes open went into a country
where there was no government
for them, or rather no plan pro-
vided for them to vote.
But does the State Herald re-
feet the claim that these men were
duped or wronged into going into
that countrys Did they not have
the right Of self government where
they weres Did they not know
they were going to a country
where this right would not follow
themf
Now we believe that this conn-
try will soon be and ought to be
made a state Of the American I'm
ion. But we do not base that
opinion upon a right which those
settlers have to self government.
No one deprived them Of that
right. They voluntarily went
where that right was not promised
and did not exist.
The claim of the State Herald Is
like man entering another man q
home As a guest or a boarder. and
then claiming the right to run and
control the premises.
But the time has come for that
country to be developed. It is
needed, and it can only be done by
giving it a government.
