Loans made to business enterprises
which pay a profit of 25 or 30 per
cent above the expense of operating
or conducting are safe and good.
When the business enterprise is con-
Quoted at loss from year to year the
loan is considered unsafe and unde-
sirable, and eventually there must be
a loss unless conditions are changed.
This has been the condition of farm
ing all over the country for a series
of years, and as other kinds of bust
ness for their prosperity are depend
ent upon the farm and labor class
these enterprises likewise have failed
to show a safe margin of profit, and
failures have become inevitable.
Comptroller Eckles in mentioning
the business conditions talks like an
educated parrot, without once con-
sidering causes. Not writer upon
political economy, from the days of
Aristotle to Jimmy Eckels, but at
tributes the decline in prices to q
contraction of the circulating medium
of the country. They without excep-
ton measure prices by the money
available as a Medium of exchange
and payment. Loans made to half
the value of the property as security,
become unsafe when the property
has shrunk in value one-half or two
thirds as it has in many instances.
Contraction has caused the shrink.

ing man had all his dollars to get. For
the past two years the bankers who
own and control the money have
been demanding dollar of the great
est purchasing power. The wrong
about such a dollar is that it pur-
chases too much of the laboring
mans work to obtain it, A dear dol
lar makes cheap man because it
makes cheap his labor by making the
product of that labor cheap. The
taxing power of the government
simply bases its treasury note upon
all the assessable property of the en-
tire people. Reference to the census
returns of the United States would
not alarm the most timid banker if
the government should issue $50 per
capita with no redemption provided
but to receive it for all government
dues. For its debts for mail service
and salaries and hundreds of other
things the government could put it in
circulation. The bankers trouble
arises from the fact that such con-
dition of finance would send the
farmer to the grain merchant or the
stock buyer when in need of money,
in place of his going to the suavely
ferocious banker as now. Read his
tory with the money question liz view
and you will be astonished at the
bristling of these facts from nearly
every chapter.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known. combined
with the best blood purifiers acting
directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

There is gratifying increase in some
of our minor agricultural exports. For
several years profitable business has
been carried on in shipping American
apples to England, and considerable
part of the surplus Of this years
abundant crop has been marketed there.
So many American apples have been
sent this year also to Germany that
some of the German papers are agitat-
ing for restrictions upon the imports.
They affect q fear that the fruit may
contain the microbes of disease. Our ex-
ports of butter to Germany this year
are about 20 times as large as they were
three years ago.

COMMON SENSE CURE.
Pyramid Pile Cure, Cures Piles
Permanently by Curing the
eau Sc.
Remarkable Remedy Which is Bringing
Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see
this article suffer from piles. 1t is
one of the commonest diseases and
one of the most obstinate. People
have it for years and just because it
is not Immediately fatal, they neglect
it. Carelessness causes no end of
suffering. Carelessness about so
simple thing as piles has often
caused death. Hemorrhages occur
from no apparent cause and loss of
blood causes death. Hemorrhages
occur during surgical treatment,
often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning
and easily cured. They can be cured
even in the worst stages, without
pain or loss of blood; quickly, surely,
completely. There is only one
remedy that will do it-Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t allays the inflammation Immediate
ly, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces
the swelling and puts the membranes
into good, sound healthy condition.
The cure is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and un-
solicited testimonials we have lately
received:
Mrs. M. G. Hinkly, COL Mississippi
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been Il sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of Piles for fifteen years, the
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid
Pills gave me immediate relief and in
short time complete cure.
Major Dean of Columbus, Ohio,
says: l wish to add to the number of
certificates as to the benefits derived
from the Pyramid Pile Cure. l suf-
fered from piles for forty years and
from itching piles for twenty years
and two boxes of the Pyramid Pile
Cure has effectually cured me.

Cure or will get it for you if you ask
them to. 1t is one dollar per package

Culture in the West.

A reader of Harper's Weekly, who
thinks that eastern folk are apt to
look upon western cities as being quite
diffident in support of music and art, :"
writes, not with pride, from Kan
sas City, to say that that town "sup-
ports enthusiastically and in the most
substantial manner two orchestras-
the Symphony society, with John Behr
as conductor, and the Philharmonic Or
chestrn (Carl Busch, conductor), which
gives popular concerts Sunday after
noons." Euch of these institutions,
says this correspondent, is in its Sec
ond season. The average attendance
at the Symphony society's concerts this
year has been about 1900, and at the
Philharmonic nearly 900, and constant
ly increasing. Particularly notable is
the enterprise of the Symphony So
ciety in giving the final rehearsal be-
fore each concert in the auditorium of
the Central high school, before 1900
students, thus cultivating the musical
taste of the rising generation, and pro-
viddng for its future support. The
students greatly like these concerts, and
issue regular programmes of them.
Kansas City has about 175,0oO people,
and doubtless, like most other western
cities, has large German population,
which must have music, and is ready to
take the necessary trouble and nav the
price.

sp ecial Des Moines Correspondence.

Special Des Moines Correspondence.
An exchange puts it in this way:
"We have about 81 1000 worth of con-
tidence upon our subscription books
which we would like to convert into
ready cash during the next twenty
days.
Captain N. A. Merrell, the oldest
member OF the lower house of the
present legislature, died at his home
in Dewitt, on the 31st ult. Under
a law passed at the regular session
only five days notice of an election
to fill vacancies is required.
Some one has ascertained that dur
ing the past thirty-five years the ex-
penditures of the state have increas-
ee from $377, $50 to $1,972,94O, or 422
per cent, while the population has
increased only 2O5 per cent. This is
not 3 good showing. This vast in
crease of expense so out Of proper
ton may be attributed largely to
jobbery in locating state institutions
where not needed, necessitating large
expense for their support. The finan-
cial condition of the state is one of
the legacies of the republican party
to which its conventions annually
point with pride.
There is one thing the approaching
extra session of the legislature might
do, and should do, and that is do
away with this useless expense of
a state printer and bindery, and eiSh-
er let the work to lowest bidder or
stablish an office to be owned and
operated by the state, same as gov
eminent printing office. AS it is now
exorbitant prices are paid for print
ing and binding tons of useless docu-
ments, statistics and otherwise, and
all except the meager wages that are
paid to those who do the work goes
into the pockets of two men, not for
anything they do to earn it but as
rake off to recompense them for the
skullduggery and dirty work they
have done and are doing for the party
Ill power. With the state owning and
operating its own printery and bind
cry there would not be so much waste
in getting out voluminous reports of
each department.. The printers and
binders would be to pay just the
same, and they might even be paid
still larger wages, but it is not a waste
to employ men who earn the money
paid them. It's the fellows who don't
earn it that should be shut off from
drawing thousands of dollars from the
peoples hard earned taxes.
The forty counties in which mulct
saloons are operated paid into the
state treasury 1878, 44O.s4 during the
year 1895, and of course an equal
amount to the counties. The official
report of the auditors from thirty
four of the forty counties testify to
the success of the law in reducing
court expenses.
The starch works have been pay
ing IA cents bushel for corn, but
as that is about the only marketable
product which the farmers have and
most of them are in such dire straits
for money, they rushed in so much of
it that the price was dropped to IL
cents and many loads are being turn
ed away at that. In outside towns
where there is no local market and
where the corn must be shipped the
the price paid is only about cents.
That Mckinley prosperity is lulu.

The Wabash river for miles, east and
west of Wabash, Ind, is covered with
crude oil, which emits powerful and
very offensive odor. There have been
times before when the stream carried
considerable oil, but never before as
now, and the water supply of many
cities below here is endangered. The
oil enters the Wabash from the Sala-
monia river, at La Gro, the Salamonia
penetrating the Oil field.
