A favorite pretense of the popocrat,
IS that their advent to power will be
a gain for the debtor class. The con-
trary is the fact. No greater menace
threatens the debtors class in this state
than the possibility of a populistic
legislature being elected. The refer
ence is not to what theory -spinners
will tell you as certain to come about
two, three or ten years from now, but
to what is likely to happen within a
few months, if the populists carry this
state.
The Indebtedness of the people O.
the state of Washington is large. Our
financial institutions are in debt to
similar institutions in themoney cent
ers; our business men carry large line
of Indebtedness to the wholesalers in
the trade centers; much of our city
real estate is mortgaged and 40 are
very many of our farms. There is no.
thing exceptional about this. Large
Indebtedness goes with large business
interests; it is the necessary conse-
quence of development and expansion !;
it is perfectly legitimate and proper.
it is by no means an adverse criticism
upon the condition of things which
existed few years ago to point out
that the people of the state are in
many cases heavily in debt. This in
detedness is largely among our best
people, that is, among those who by
their energy and enterprise built up
our cities, cleared up our farming lands
and made the name of the state
synonymous with progress and pros
perity. Restore confidence in finan-
cial circles abroad and at home in the
future of this country and these men
will pull through and be able to enter
upon renewed careers of prosperity
and give new impetus to the whole
state.
The solvency of the community is be-
yond question. our resources are
enormous; there has been vast am
cunt of improvement made even during
the recent year of depression the COM
mercial future of the state is full of
promise. But the people of Wash
ington are not prepared for forced
liquidation. If this should be forced
upon them, no man can foresee the
result. 1t is morally certain to be
precipitated in the event of populist
triumph in the November election. If
word should 60 out to the world that
a apopulist governor and populist leg
islature have been elected in Washing
ton, such would be the fear of legisla-
ton calculated to delay if not defeat
the collection of debts that there would
be an immediate demand Tor the pay
ment of past due liabilities and this
would precipitate panic the end of
which cannot be foretold. The coin
age question has nothing to do with
this consideration. No matter what
the people of the United States shall
decide in regard to free coinage, She
menace of populistic legislation will
work mischief just the same. No
matter what a man may think about
the merits of the silver issue, he cannot
afford to take the chances of the panic
which the dread of populistic legisla-
ton will be certain to create.
The republican state and legislative
ticket offers the only safeguard from
business disaster.

From n Brokers' Point of View.

Chicago Dispatch to o. H. Faught)
Wheat Saturday sold a trife under the
closing prices of Friday night induced by
a more pacific tone to the foreign situation,
and cables had in no case responded more
than I'D to our &c advance Friday First
trades were made at 63%G621ac The ad-
vance of Friday brought In any number of
buying orders from outside, and. after the
first few minutes of the session, orders
continued to come to buy and this coupled
with the fact that Armour has been buying
all day through brokers, had stimulating
effect on prices, and the day has been an
other victory for the bulls. The situation
is strong and increasing in strength every
day. Total exports, wheat and flour, from
both coasts reduced to bushels equal
$4,000 blu, compared with 3,202,OOO bu last
week and 2s4O.OOO bu year ago. A message
from Pittsburg says that reports from
agents are very strong. Advices from ILL.,
nois, Indiana and Ohio say the prospects
for the growing crop is, poor, and that
there is an exceptional demand for flour
from all winter wheat points President
Baker, Of the Board Of Trade, in an inter-
view with a local paper last night says that
present conditions existing. There is
firmness to the ldertone in the market
that is only explained by the action of the
market to-day, in which Armour and sew
eral other local heavy weights were the
buyers. New York wires that they are
cleaned out of cash wheat, and that the
the other markets are falling in line with
our advance, and with conditions so strong
we can see but one side to the market, and
look for materially higher markets next
week.
Corn. was strong and excited, and adj
vanced on covering by shorts, which put
the market up 1Ac. Continued strength in
wheat induced bears to cover, fearing TO go
over Sunday short. We expect to see a
more liberal movement.
oats advanced in sympathy with every
thing else. This has been dull day, and
everything on the list in benefited, and oats
are no exception to the rule.
Proyisions-Pork was firmer, opening on
small receipts of hogs and liberal demand
from shorts Believe that our prediction of
twelye-dollar pork will be verified in short
time. Lard and ribs firmer, in sympathy

such time rumor OF any sort, IL bullish,
