Able 70 Work since Taking Hood
south Dakota Pays on It's Debts.

Sioux Falls, S. d., July l3-[Special. i
The people of South Dakota have, in the
last four years, paid off $4,000, 900 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, "and they are now
paying off alta very rapid rate AS things are
nowgoingthe people of the State, and espe-
cially the farmers, will soon be well out of
debt. The large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect of giving the people an appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has also
given them the ability to do so'
Another agent who represents loan COM
pany which has several million dollars
loaned on farm property in South Dakota,
adds his testimony, but the agent complains
that he cannot find takers for one-third of
the amount he would like to loan.
"Our company has l, 800 loans in this State
on farm lands" said the agent above re-
ferred to, "and we have not had over fifty
foreclosures in seven years. The company
does not own foot of land in the State and
never lost cent on a loan. Chicago Trib-
une, July IA, 1877

Affairs OF n bankrupt Chicagonn
Make Very had Showing.

Chicago, July 26.-The liabilities of
Theodore II. Schintz, the lawyer and
real estate dealer who assigned last
week, have been found TO reach 81 ,0O0,-
900, while the available assets have
dwindled down TO less than 100000.
Only one mortgage has been found
among the papers in Schintz' Office of
the scores that were given TO him.
Schintz is now believed to have got
about $125,000 out of four or five banks
in the city on collateral that is almost
absolutely worthless. The best that
can be realized on any of il was stated
by one of the banks which held it 10 be
less than 80 cents on the dollar.

BRYAN'S BLINDNESS.
Free Silver Facts Which He Over
looks.

Mr.. Bryan, who is now conducting
his campaign for denomination in 1900
by presiding over the deliberations of
the Trans-Mississipp congress, in ses-
sion at Salt Lake, is said TO be con-
templating n tour of Mexico. The trip
will be for the purpose of gathering
data for use in the free silver cam
paigp. One writer, in referring to this
trip, says that it ''will bring him in
contact only with some of the 10000
men who own all the land in the repub-
lie, and not with the 100000 who
wear sandals and one cotton garment"
In case Mr.. Bryan encounters any
difficulty in locating the sources of
truth in Mexico the facts learned by
Gen. Powell Clayton, United States
minister to that country, might be OF
service to him. Says Minister Clay
ton:
''The laborers in the United States are
nabobs in comparison with the laborers in
Mexico. The clothing an agricultural la
borer In Mexico wears is scarcely worth
one dollar. He goes barefooted and man
ufactures all the clothing he wears out Of
coarse material. All a young couple need
to start in life in Mexico is a mat and
few primitive cooking utensils. They con-
struct their own abodes out of reeds and
poles, and no window Is necessary. OF
course, L am speaking now of the class
that once were poems, and not of the more
thrifty citizens.
I'm Mexico a laborer receives 81 cents
day, which would be equivalent to less
than IL cents In this country. Before
leaving the City OF Mexico / exchanged
s100 of American money and received $214
for 1t. so you can calculate the difference
between American and Mexican money,
aud see how much better off an American
laborer is than a Mexican"
Thus once more it is made plain that
IL takes two dollars in a free silver
country to equal one dollar in n coun-
try that is not committed TO the popu-
listic idea of sound money. The visit
of Mr.. Bryan to Mexico is quite likely
to be productive of an eloquent silence
upon the practical results of a currency
based upon the silver standard.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.
