Mr.. GEORGE B. ROBERTS, president of
the P. r. r company. insists that busi-
ness last fall started out well and ener-
getically and that had it not been for the
Jingoes and free silver agitators we
would now be in very prosperous times.
The two things which he firmly believes
necessary to quick and permanent pros
perity are ''sound money and "rest from
tariff agitations. These are necessary
to good times and just 80 soon as the
agitation for free silver and high tariff
cease, business will begin to boom again.

THESE is a class of party speakers and

THESE is class of party speakers and
writers who, SAYS the Philadelphia Times,
assume, and sometimes with safety, that
people have short memories and that 1t
is unnecessary to adhere to facts. For
example, the chairman of the New Jer-
sey Republican convention thought he
had made telling point when he said
that under this Democratic regime the
surplus in the treasury, which so dis
tressed our Democratic friends mysteri-
ously disappeared, and has never been
heard of since.
The national finances are too serious
a subject to be discussed for partisan eff
feet, but even from that standpoint il
might be thought that the disappearance
of the surplus was a thing that a Repub-
lican campaign orator would prefer tc
say little about. When Harrison was
elected president the net cash in the
treasury outside the hundred million
gold reserve was $133. .53S. .S34. When
Cleveland was elected, four years later
it had been reduced to $50, 32S, ,9lS, and
before March this small sum was SO near
ly exhausted that the treasury wa:
obliged to postpone the payment of war
rants and the gold reserve itself was IN
fringed upon. The surplus had disap-
peared before the Democratic regime
came in.
And there was nothing mysterious
about its disappearance. 1t was spent
In the four years from 1856 to 1889 the
excess of receipts overexpenses had been
1896, 529, 900. In 1889 it was $S7, ,761,
900, and for the fiscal year of 1890, fol
which the appropriations had been made
by the old congress under the old reve'
nue. laws, it was $105, 345 900. Then
the Reed Mckinley congress got to
work, reducing the revenues slightly
and increasing the expenditures largely
In 1891 the surplus revenue was re-
duced to $37, 24O, 900; in 1892, to SO,
915, 600, and in 1898, to 81, ,342. 900.
The Mckinley act and the Sherman ac:
were then well under way, and the next
year the surplus had changed to a def
cit of $69, 500, 900.
During this year the Sherman silver
act was repealed and the new tariff put
in operation, and for the fiscal year OF
1895 the deficit was reduced to $42, sos,
600. This year it will be further re-
duced to about $25, 900, 900 or less, and
in another year, with no change in the
revenue laws, it would probably disap-
pear. But even in 1895 the receipt:
were larger than in 1892, and would
have Welded large surplus if the ex
penditures had remained the same as in
1889 or 1890.
The Reed-McKinley-H Harrison regime
WAS able to increase the annual appro
pristions one hundred millions in thre,
years without immediate disaster, at tn,
same time issuing four millions month
of new demand notes, solely because o
the plethoric condition in which it founG
the treasury. 1t left the treasury bank
rupt, WITH currency panic clearly fore
shadowed, and the present administra
tin has been struggling against odds t.
mitigate the evil results of four years o
financial blundering. That is the truth
though it may not suit partisans to &c
knowledge it.

Suffering In Alaska.

San Francisco, April 19.-According
to advices received per schooner Excelsi-
or, serious state of affairs reigns in
Alaska. Sitka and Juneau are over
flowing with miners who cannot start for
the gold fields on account of the ice.
Provisions are plentiful, but the prices
charged are exhorbitant. Some of the
men are destitute and have not taken
enough gold to pay for a second class
passage to Puget Sound, much less San
Francisco. The gold fields, as a rule,
are said to be miserable apology for N

WANTED
Another Railroad for Madison -Present
Rates a Discrimination Against Our
Oity-We Must Build or
Move Out.

Better railroad rates and how to Sc
cure them is again being agitated by
our business men. It appears that un-
less something is done in the way Of Sc
curing better shipping rates that Madi-
son is at a stand still and that oven some
Of the shipping houses she already has
she must necessarily lose. The dis
elimination in favor Of Sioux Falls is SO
great that no shipping house here can
compete against the same business lines
there. We remember four years ago
When A. j. Anderson had built up a
nice wholesale fruit trade and was
covering nearly the whole Of South d.
kota in retailing, that Sioux. Falls mer-
chants to run him out laid their fruit
down wherever he did at the actual cost
to him and thus broke him up. The
difference in rates alone in their favor
was a good profit to them at the time
and they we're satisfied with it until they
drove him out of business and got the
territory TO themselves. The same
thing is happening in other lines to-day.
j. E. Turner, who has been doing such a
large and beneficial business for Madison
and this section in the shipping of but
ter and eggs for two years past, will soon
have to leave for some point with COM
peting lines, as the Sioux Falls houses
with better rates are undermining his
business this year. And so it will be Of
other shippers whether Of -four, or
wheat, or any kind of farm produce.
Better rates must be had or down they
go. Rates on first class freight
from Chicago to Sioux Falls is
Is cents per hundred, to Madison,
s1.O9; on other freight, $500,
while to Madison it is $3.50. From
Pipestone wheat has from three to four
cents the advantage Of Madison. Such
determinations as these tell heavily
against our city and county and amount
to q great deal Of money to our farmers
and business men. 1t is impossible
that we can thrive under such condi-
tions, hence our business men are cast
ing about for some way to escape from
it. As the railroad company we have
refuses to alleviate these burdens under
which our business men labor, the only
| other course seems to be the acquisition
Of a new line il they have to build it
themselves. j. Leslie Thompson is in
tent on securing the formerly projected
| road to Sioux Falls where connection
a be made with competing lines for
the east and thinka the project can be
revived and made a success. II no rail
road company q be got to take hold of
it at present. he believes the three cities
and people along the line from here to
Sioux Falls could easily build it them
| selves as there seems to be q general de-
mand for it. Others Of our business
men are equally eager for it and each
aud all could do considerable towards
securing the road by putting their
shoulder to the wheel"
