Interest We Paw the Banks

The report of James II. Eckels
Comptroller of the Currency, shows
that on Nov, lst 1894 there was loan
ed by the banks to the people s4.l25-
5O3,2jl. Banks usually loan on thirty
sixty or ninety days time. Place it at
the longest period and that means
this vast amount is reloaned with in
tereSt added four times each year, or
that during the year the banks loan
to the people sum not less than SIG,
5O2,0l3,OO4. Estimate the rate of in
terest at ten per cent simple interest
which is below the average, and we
have thesu of S4l2, 5j0,325 that the
people pay annually to the banks of
this country for money borrowed.
Whose money is this that the banks
are lJaning? 1t belongs to the people
who have deposited it in the banks.
Kind reader will you but stop and re-
fleet. The banks of this country are
reaping harvest Of over $4l2,OOO,OCO
annually in interest on other peoples
money. 1t is surprising that the
banks have all the money and can
dictate the terms upon which it may
be obtained? How long will it be be-
fore the banks will own not only all
the money, but all of-tfe property of
this country
That interest is far in excess of
what the people can afford to pay is
manifest. What can be done3 The
Government can establish postal say
ing banks, which have proved salts
factory in other countries, make the
depOsitOrs perfectly safe, loan the
money at a reasonable interest, and
let that interest inure to the benift
of the government instead Of to the
banks. - a.-. tt
Does not business Judgment ap-
prove Of such a course? Does not
patriotism and our protection demand
such change. Some may say,
this does not interest me, as borrow
no money and pay no interest,"" do
not deceive yourselves. Manu-
facturers usually sell to whole
sale merchants on. time. The manu-.
facturer can not wait for his money
but must discount the wholesale mer-
chants note. The wholesale mer-
chant sells to the retail merchant on
time and cannot wait for the money
but must discount the retail mer7
chants note. Thus as a rule the ban
ker gets two discounts, or double ir-
terest on the value Of all goods before
it reaches the consumer. That
interest is added to the cost of the
goods and the consumer cOnfuses that
with the cost and pays the interest
without beingiaware Of the fact.
The treaSurers report claims a cir
culation of 81, 66O,SOS, 7O7, but Overcome
half Of that amount is held as legal
reserves, and could not be in circula-
-tion. The actual amount in circula-
tion in all probability would not ex.
coed the amount we annually pay our
banks as interest. 5'f

Barnum's Statement.

Mark H. Barnum has published
in the Republican Observer the fol-
lowing statement, which is said to
have softened the hearts of the
Richland county people, and
caused them to join in the request
for pardon for Mr.. Barnum at
the hands of Gov. Upham:
A better acquaintance with the
people Of Rchland county has
convinced me that in the unfortu-
nate events which eliminated in
my trial aud conviction of the
ofense Of libel the people were
actuated by desire to protect the
character and reputation Of Ella
Maly rather than by a spirit of
opposition to the pardon of Rose
Zoldoski. | therefore take this
opportunity to correct the errone-
Gus impression, which seems to
have prevailed in this community
that | was actuated by malicious
motives in the publication of the
Minnie Braddock letter. | take
pleasure in reaffrming now what
[ expressly testified to upon the
trial Of my case that I am in full
accord with the people of this
community in the kindly senti-
ments which they have entertained
for the character Of Ella Maly,
that in my opinion the writer of
the Minnie Braddock letter was
mistaken in the statements therein
made concerning her; that the best
evidence obtainable fully estab-
fishes the fact beyond all contro-
versy. and the girl whose memory
was thus maligned was pure and
spotless. In my testimony upon
the trial of my case l stated under
an oath that | had no intention
directly or indirectly of injuring
or disparaging the memory of Ella
Maly or Of throwing shadow upon
her reputation at the time | pub
lished that communication, and
that | never dreamed of its having
that effect. My sole and only OBJ
ject was to ascertain the where
abouts of the writer in order to
establish its truth or falsity for the
purpose of clearing up the mys-
terry that surrounds the alleged
murder Of Ella Maly, and I most
earnestly ask the pardon of the
mother and of every friend whom
l may have injured in connection
with this unfortunate matter. |
make these statements in the hope
that the good people will believe
the fact and disabuse their minds
of the impression that it was my
intention to injure the memory of
the noble girl whose many virtues
won for her SO high place in the
estimation and affection of Rich
land county people.

Milwaukee Telegraph: The gov
ernor will pardon Mark Barnum,
the well-known editor. 'Tis we'll.
Mr.. Barnum has a bitter tongue
when he is mind to put it in line.
A loafng spirituallst ran across
his track few years ago. Bar
mum knocked him out of a tree
with this canister load:
He lies most horribly. He has
no honest employment. He is of
the kind that creeps into widows
houses and leads astray silly
women. He does not work like
honest men in the full light of day.
He loves darkness; so does the
burglar, the chicken thief and the
bawd. Think you, gentle reader,
that your dead friend will associ-
ate with such loafer. If he will,
or does, take a club and kill him
AGAIN.

Protection for Canada.

American manufacturers of wood
pulp who have invested large
amounts of money in spruce for
ests in Canada for the purpose of
obtaining cheap supplies of mate
rial for their mills are much dis
turbed because the leading wood
pulp manufacturers of the Domin-
ion have demanded that the gov
eminent impose a tax of three
dollars a cord upon spruce lumber
exported. It is claimed that six
hundred thousand cords Of pulp
wood are exported annually, from
which the American pulp manu-
facturers obtain all the benefits, to
the injury of the Dominion manu-
facturers and the depletion Of Can
adam spruce forests. One of the
leading manufacturers in the prov
inces advocated that a duty of
three dollars a cord would compel
American capitalists to build pulp
mills in Canada, be the means of
giving employment to fifteen thou
sand Canadian Workmen and bring
millions of dollars to the treasury

CHARGE of PIRATING
Made Against the West Publishing;
COmpany.

-
Company.
West Publishing company is made defendant
in an injunction suit, the complaint in which
was filed in the United States circuit court
yesterday. The action is brought by Callag-
han & Co., of Chicago, firm engaged in the
same line of business as the West Publishing
company. The bill recites that the plaintiffs
employed one James Dewitt Andrews to take
Stephen on Pleading" and turn it into COM
prehensive text book on pleading for the bene-
fit of the legal profession. 1t is further al
legged that Mr. Andrews was peculiarly fitted
for this duty, and turned out a very credita-
BILE work, which the firm had copyrighted in
1894.
The bill then goes on to recte that the West
Publishing company issued book on plead
Ing, by B. j. Shipman, which was in reality
Stephens book, but it did not meet with
much demand. But Immediately following the
appearance of Mr. Andrews work for the Cal
laghan firm, the West company, 1t is claimed,
issued a second edition of the Shipman book,
much Of the contents Of which were directly
taken, copied and reproduced from the An
drews book" The bill quotes some of the Ian
guage alleged to have been pirated from the
book Of the plaintiffs, and alleges that it was
originally used by Mr.. Andrews in the pre-
paration Of the work.
1t is claimed that this wrongful and pratt
cal appropriation from the contents of the
Andrews book has stimulated the sale of the
West Publishing company's book and inter-
fered with the sale Of the complainants' book
and they ask for an injunction to prevent the
sale of the former. They also ask for an ac-
counting, and Judgment for the amount the de-
fendant company has derived as profit from
the sale Of the book.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Sarah Sloan Passes Away at the
Age of Efghty-Five.

Mrs. Sarah Sloan, one of the oldest settlers
of st. Paul, died suddenly at o'clock yester-
day afternoon at her residence, 172 Harrington
avenue. Mrs. Sloan had reached the advanced
age OF eighty-five. She was the widow of
Edward B. Sloan, who died in this city sew
eral years ago. Heart failure was the cause
or Mrs. Sloan's death. Until an hour before
her decease, she appeared to be as we'll as
ever. Shortly after 4 o'clock she complained
of faint feeling, and finally became so weak
that her daughters proposed to send for a
physician. Its no use to send for the doc
tor" said Mrs. Sloan. 81 shall be dead be-
fore he can get here A few moments later
she expired
Mrs. Sloan was remarkable woman in
many respects. She carried her advanced
years so easily that stranger would have
mistaken her for woman of fifty rather than
four score and five. Up to the day of her
death she was in full possession of her facul-
ties Mrs. Sloan was born in Cambridge,
Washington county, N. Y, and was a lineal
descendant of Commodore Perry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sloan were married in Cam
bridge, N. Y, and thence they went to St.
Louis, Mo. Subsequently they removed to
Galena, ILL.,, where Mr.. Sloan built the first
hotel erected in that city. In 1S4S Mr.. and
Mrs. Sloan came to st. Paul and thereafter
made this city their home. Mrs. Sloan was
member of Christ church.
Five daughters and two sons survive Mrs.
Sloan. The daughters are Mrs. G. o. Rice, of
st. Paul; Mrs. Henry A. Fridley, of Fridley,
Mimi; Mrs. ]. c. Frost, Of Anoka, and two
unmarried daughters, who reside at 172 Far
rington avenue. The sons are John R. and
William R. Sloan. The arrangements for the
funeral will be announced later.
