THE DAVIDSON FAILURE.
A Large Part of tt e Assets Held as
Security by Various Chicago
SankS

Chicago, ILL.,. July 7.-[Special] 1.-The
affairs of Davidson & Sons were consid-
cred IN the county court today. a gath
ering of attorneys and creditors listened
to the examination of John S. Davidson,
one Of the partners, regarding the firms
financial dealings. Mr.. Davidson said
that the company had been affected by
the failure of Sherman & FIayin, who
owed the firm $4,000.
In order to secure by note the best pcr
ton of the debt. $4,000 was RENTED
from the amount. 1t was found that the
witness and his brother Alexander, who
are interested with w. S. Eden IL the
Great Northern Theater company, had
thrown the marble contract for the lat
ter building into the hands of Davidson
& Sons, and the insolyent firm had re-
ceived therefor stocks and bonds, but no
cash. Attorney Wickersham says he is
led TO believe that the availa bic assets
of the :nsOlyent firm consist merely Of
the Chicago plant and machinery, a few
book accounts and a little real estate
The remaining assets upon which the
firm made a showing, it developed were
held as security by the First National

Political POtpourri.

The Mckinley button fits every Amer
lean coat as if it were made fer it.
''What 1 want is to see idle men at
work at American wages" says Mckin-
ley, and so do we all of us.
We do not need more money so much
as more circulation Of the money We
have.
Calling free silver "Populism" will
not catch Populist votes for a mossback
Democrat.
Make up your mind to vote for pro-
lection and prosperity, and the rest Of
the campaign won't bother you much.
Don't forget that this is to be a cam
paign for home industry and that the
welfare Of every home is concerned
in it.
Every intelligent man knows that
work and wages is the chief issue of the
campaign, and all of them will vote that
way.

True Am eriCan POLICY.

We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional, partisan and one
sided, one disastrous to the Treasury
and destructive of business enterprise,
and we demand such an equitable
tariff on foreign imports which come in
competition with American products
as will not only furnish adequate rev.
enue for the necessary expenses of the
Government, but will protect Amer
lean labor from the degradation and
the wage level of other lands. We are
not pledged to any particular schedules
The question of rates is a practical
question, to be governed by the condi-
lions of time and production. The rul-
ing and uncompromising principle is
the protection and development of
American labor and industry The

Railroad Progress Checked.

The records or the new railroad Du1lQ-
ing in the United States in 1896, ac-
cording to the Railroad Gazette, show
that III niles of road have been built
in the first half of the year. The total
is not very different from the amount
of new railroad which has been con-
structed in the first half of any year
since the Democratic administration in
1893 called halt to progress and pros
perity. Last year 622 miles of new
road We're built up TO July 1, and the
record in 1894, only 495 miles between
Jan 1 and July 1, showed how decisive
ly extension work had been stopped

1t will be seen how greatly railroad
extension has been checked by the
conditions of the past few years, and
there are no substantial signs that any
