The single gold standard and its increas-

New York Sun:-As we pass by with
grief we see these tears Of Ignatius DON
(nelly: "Our, soul is weary of the whole
business" ave shall retire to a library"
1--WE have DONE" owe shall withdraw
from public life forever" sWe are tired
of working for those who would DESTROY
u.s.. "We banker not for contest with
Lllliputians." Peace, peace, perturbed
spirits. Just because S. M. Owen of
Minnesota is little too active and mon
opolistic in the populist party of that
state, shall the Sage of Nininger grow
weary in his soul and vow to have done.
The library is good in the winter, but in
the summer and the fall, what other so
congenial employment as politics for
the sage? He will not be tired. HeWill
not have done. He. will deeinQlish S NJ:
Owen as .hs~ demolished Shakespeare.

According to the report of the banks
to the assessors and auditor of Minneso-
ia, there are just ST ,422,419 of bank
moneys and 1851, 1853 of credits in the
state OF Minnesota. -
Let us see. The dogs of Minnesota,
over six months old are assessed at $780,
497, the watches and clocks at $575, 651,
the sewing machines at$664,242, the pi-
amos at $1,276,S1O- all the notes
and mortgages ana other credits of the
banks at just $53t.15S! ..s.@ :
Let us look again. The yearling calves
of Minnesota are assessed at $685.
and the two-year.olds at $1,727, 572-
and all the "moneys of banks, bankers,
brokers or stock jobbers" are assessed at
81, 422,419!
How is this for honest finance? How
is this for honesty and patriotism In
dealing with the. public? And this is the
sworn valuation of the bankers and brok-
ers of Minnesota. The above is the
sworn valuation made to the state of
Minnesota by those who call the people
''anarchists" and 'repudiationists'' be-
cause they favor the restoration Of the
time honored system of American bimet-
allism. ~
The housewives and musicians and
Seamstresses are assessed at .$2,371 ,747
on sewing machines, pianos and organs,
while the bankess ana brokers are taxed
on only $1,953.577 for all their moneys
and credits. Z.
This proves that the housewives, must
clans and seamstresses are in practice
truer disciples of honest finance in sup
porting state and local government, than
the boosted preachers of honest finance
in the banking institutions. When those
who preach honest finance so Justify be-
gin to practice it in their dealings with
the public, the latter will have more
confidence in the preaching.
