TAMMANY PRETENDING.
Chairma an Bynum Says it VIII Not
Really Support Bryan.

Indianapolis Sept. 19.-W. D. Bynum,
chairman of the National Democratic
committee who has just returned from
the east, said last night:
I can now say that found the senti-
ment in the east strongly against Bry-
an. The lowest estimate I heard of the
majority against him in New York was
100000, and I heard some express a
willingness to wager that New York
would cast 100000 majority against him.
The same condition exists in other
states in the east"
Mr.. Bynum said that the Buffalo
state convention was regarded by all
the influential Democrats whom he met
both of the regular and state Democra-
cy as q farce.

give Bryan her support, although it is

BIG TROY, N. Y. BANK FAILS
Depositors Withdraw Nearly $A5, 900
in One Day Compelling Closing.

Troy, N Y, Sept. 19.-The National
bank of Troy closed its doors today
and placed it's affairs in the hands of
the national bank examiner.
The closing of the bank was due to
the fact that depositors withdrew near
~ S45, 900 yesterday exhaUsting all the
available cash. The other banks here
refused to furnish any assistance and
an effort to secure money in New York
was also unsuccessful. The president of
the bank, Daniel Clock, Jr., stated that
the affairs of the bank were never in
better condition since 1893, but they
were unable to realize cash on their pa
per. Every deposition, he said, will be
paid in full, and the stockholders would
certainly receive rs per cent. The cap
ital stock is 5000, 600 and the deposits
amount to S439 600.

WORLD NEAR AN END.
A French Scientist Says the Noun

London, Sept. 19.-Jerome K. Je-

tentiOn in a serious paragraph to an
eminent French scientist who viii not
permit his name to be published, and
who says that the world, so far as Eu-
rope is concerned, is coming to an end.
He adds that the earth is certainly
cooling in France and Belgium and
that it is likely in the very near future
that we shall see great changes.
In the north of France, where such a
thing has before been unknown. there
have already been earthquakes and the
same thing has happened in Belgium.
The unknown scientist further states
that there are two or three French
mountains slipping, while, he concludes.
the Swiss mountains are subsiding.

stating that she had been entertaining

FEEDING THEM ON HUsks.

The government has been loaning money
to national bankers at l per cent per annum !;
the president recommends that the rate be re-
duced to Il of per cent; the bankers are de-
handing to be exempted from all interest
and to be given $3.50 in currency for every
dollar they invest in interest-bearing govern
ment bonds! This is the bankers conception
Of Sound money. Farm, Stock and Home
Small wonder that agricultural
conceptions of banking and govern
ments and credit money grow thin and
lean when nurtured on such chaff as
is the foregoing. No wonder Populist
platforms demand loans from the fed
era1 treasury at per cent per annum
when such paper tells them that the
treasury loans bankers money at / per
cent per annum. 1t il evidence of the
wonderful forbearance of the farmers
that they do not ask that money be
loaned to them, too, at the same rate.
There should be 70 favoritism between
citizens, and the farmer is entitled to
loans at as low rate as is the banker.
And what sort Of a Democrat is the
president, forsooth. when he wants the
rate to bankers reduced rs per cent,
while opposing any loans to farmers
or others?
What the bankers are demanding
is another matter. People do not get
all they demand in this country, not
even when they are of the party in
power, as witness what the Democrats
asked for and get in the matter of
tariff reduction. The banker is only
to be viewed from the public point
and not from his own. Papers like
that from which the quotation is made
evidently regard the banker as sort

DIvINE's NEAT SCHEME.
Claimed to BE Able to Expose Spir-
ituaIist Manifestations.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Jan. 19-Some weeks
ago Rev. w. r. Covert, of Anderson, ILL.,,
posted $500 forfeit that he could explain the
tricks of any spiritualistc medium. A few
days later he announced that Dr.. Henry Mil
ton, of Philadelphia. had covered the forfeit
and would lecture at Anderson. This $500 put
up by Rev. Covert was to have been guar
anteed by citizens of Anderson.
Subsequent events have demonstrated that
DR.. Henry w. Adams, of Charlottesville a
medium known all over the United States
was the DR.. Henry Milton, of Philadelphia.
DR.. Adams says he has abundant correspond
ence with Covert to prove that the reverend
gentleman proposed to have Adams explain to
him the tricks, so as to make the exposure
certain and complete. and then they were to
divide the $500 forfeit. He says he drew Co
vert out by decoy letters signed decoy con-
Covert that he would be exposed through the
press. He says part Of Covert's plan was to
provoke the spiritualists to libel him and
then recover damages from them in libel
suit.

In view of the remarkable activity in
the wooden mills that followed the adj
mission of untaXed wool the action of
the national association of manufact-
urers, approving the restoration of
their raw material to the taxed list.
accompanied, of course, with a COM
pensatory duty on wooden goods, was
1nexplicable on any ordinary ground
or human action. The review Of the
years industry by the Wool and Cot
ton Reporter may afford a clue to the
motive. During the year 1895 sixty-one
new mills have been built, while in
the allied textile industries, the new
enterprises number 357. This means
more and sharper competition from
within and cheaper prices and less
ability to regulate the output" the
euphonistic term used for fixing prices.
Reduction of taxes on the raw mate
rial reduced the cost and enabled men
with smaller capital to engage. Taxed
material means greater capital needed
10 transact business. So the men al
ready in favor tax that will have the
double effect of hampering competi-
ton from the outside and the inside.
but, beyond the speculative effect
showing in an effort to increase prices
IN advance, the proposed tariff bill will
never get into the statutes nor nearer
them than the presidents veto.

WHEN WILL 1T BE rINIsHrn,

There will be a lull in the home mar
ket editorials of the MINNEAPOLIS Trib-
une now until another full moon: but.
meantime, 1t may rot be time or space
wasted to go into the facts of the case
and see what foundation in the ex
per1ence Of the country for thirty-five
years of home-market building there
Is for the vague and gauzy theory SO
tenaciously upheld by our contempo-
rary and those of it's kind similarly
afflicted. This theory, or conjecture.

is that by protecting, encouraging and
fostering manufactures there is an
ever-increasing population engaged in
them with a proportional enlargement

farms; which, in time, always Gin
Time" will consume all that is pro-
duced and turn the tide the other way.
The consumers and the producers being
thus brought together, the value of
the things produced will naturally rise.
as the producer has always to pay the
cost of getting his product to the con-
sumner. -
This constructive policy began afresh
in 1851, having been abandoned in
1S4S, with such beneficial results that
the time was thought to be approach
ing when even the incidence of pro-
lection afforded by a revenue tariff
could be dispensed with An account
OF stock, then, taken at the beginning,
and another at the latest accessible
date, should show us how far these
economists have got with their build
ing up Of a home market It will also
afford those who yet permit them
selves to be beguiled by the glittering
hypothesis to calculate how much long
er they must contribute building mate
rial for this social fabric We find
that in 1860 there were 23OOO,O0 peo-
pie in this country, half of whom were
farmers owning half the wealth shown
by the census. Eighty-one per cent
Of all our exports were the products
of the farm, and their export value
was sl2o'ooo'VQ. II 1889 the population
had increaseds tor6e,o oO,ooo, or 10 per
cent while the percentage of our agri-
cultural to alEseNports had fallen to 70
per cent, or had decreased II per cent.

farm products had increased to $685.

index figure in this Northwest, it ap-
pears that since 1875 the quantity ex-
ported has risen from being 1916 per
cent of our agricultural products in
that year, az Increase of 73 per cent,
to Al per cent in 1894 The export price
mas fallen from an average of S1.52
a bushel in 1860 to 81 cents in 1894, a
fall of what Senator Hansbrough or
Col. Kiefer would probably call $50
per cent, but which common mathe-
maticians would call 60 per cent. Now
the rest is a mere matter of computa-
ton. The question for all these home
market builders to ponder on and. be-
fore they exploit their vagary further,
to solve is this: If in thirty-five years
we have increased the consumers 100
per cent and the quantity to be con-
sumed lao per cent, how many years
VIII IL take for the consumers to in
crease so as to eat up all the farm
products, allowing that the supply re-
mains at present figures. or. at least
docs not increase? Home market build
ing is mighty expensive construction
as done by these builders. the de-
crease in the price of wheat being onIv
one Indicator; and it is only fair to
those who have to foot the bills that
they should know how much longer
they must continue putting up their
money. Pending the return of the fuIl
moon, we trust our contemporary will
employ its mathematical editor on the
computation.
