The Fort Dodge Messenger. noting the
fact that last week the bank dePosits
in New York city increased upwards
~ 1900 900 and that money Tor on
daxs was loaned there at the rate OF 20
per cent. per annum. thinks that a snare
of that money came from Iowa, TO pay
interest, life insurance and oth"r ooii-
cations. The balance OF trade has been
against Iowa and the west, and tna' is
why there is an accumulation OF money
in New York and other eastern eenters
and a scarcity Of it in Iowa. BY balance
of trade is meant simply this0that
we are buying more than selling. we
have had but little to sell, and tha'
little has brought low prices. IL our
hogs and cattle and corn were normal
there would be plenty of money in Iowa
and through the west generally.
These views are important in reach
ing an intelligent understanding OF our
condition. The free silver advocates pc
l:eve that free coinage OF SILVER wouin

how is that possible? There may be
floods of money in the country. but
unless you have something TO give Tor
il YOU cannot get il. This fact has
stood in the way Of many aspirants Tor
wealth and happiness. but It cannot be
changed. We cannot get money unless
we have something 10 give In exchange.
The gold standard is not responsible Tor
the fact that Iowa has shortage ON
cattle and that Sl5.0oo.o00 worth OF
hogs have died OF the cholera. The
hog cholera alone is accountable for
an enormous shortage of money. III

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.
Democratic Misconceptions and Misrepre-
sentations-The Common Sense Plan.


The democratic papers are worrying
over the tariff hearings before the ways
and means committee. They publish
what various people ask for in the way
of duties on competing foreign prod
ucts. and hold up their hands in holy
horror at the impudence and se!fishness
which they profess 10 discover in these
requests.
They assume. evidently. that the ways
and means committee is going to do. in
every case, what is asked. In this they
are mistaken. That committee is made
up of men of brains and experience.
who are not TO be misled by any mans
indi, idual greed.
Chairman Dingley has announced
that the first care of the committee will
be 10 see that abundant revenue is Sc
cured. That means. practically. that
duties will in no case he placed high
enough TO act as 4 prohibition. If the
duty on an article is so high that il can
not be imported and sold at "a profit,
none will be imported. and hence there
will be no revenue from il.
This would be one extreme. The Will
son bill goes TO the direct opposite. The
duties il imposes on the staple articles
which form TIE bulk of our imports are
so low that, though imports are large.
the duties collected do not furnish
enough revenue.
The new DinSley bill, which is in
preparation now by the ways and means
committee, will avoid both extremes.
The schedules will be high enough to
bring in sufficient revenue, but not so
high as 10 stop imports. The central
idea the committee has in mind is 10 put
the domestic manufacturer and the i'm
pii,ter on level. The duties on com
pcting artislcs will cover the d ference
III the cost of production between Eu-
rope and America.
What fault can the democratic critics
find with that course? We have tried
"A low tariff which gives us too little
revenue and Injuries our great produr-

ones in our own markets?-Cleveland

a BRYAN MAN HIT HARD.
His Ghouiish GIee over Bank Failures
Quickly SQuelched-

In the Office OF Controller Eckels the
other afternoon there happened 10 come
an enthusiastic follower OF Bryan. who
found great comfort in the recent bank
failures.
His ghoulish glee was suddenly cut
short when the youthful-looking con
troller of the currency raised his head
from the desk where he was signing his
name TO a batch Of letters about a foot
:hick and delivered himself OF the fol-
lowing neat little financial sermon:
DO you know my friend. that there
is no other line OF business in the
United States handling any sush amour;
Of money where the failures have been
50 few as in the case OF national banks?
Since the establishment OF these insti-
tutions there have been 5.o5s national
banks in operation. scattered all over
the country, from the Atlantic 10 the
Pacific. and representing the most d.
verse interests During the time they
have been running they have withstood
the shock of the close of the war. the
resumption Of specie payments. the
financial panics Of 1874. 81 90. %. and
the years following them. besides the
strain Of such campaigns Of folly as
Organism. and yet in all that time and
OF all that number, handling billions
and billions Of dollars, only 323 national
banks have been placed in the hands Of
receivers. and il is fair estimate TO
say that these broken banks. on the
whole. have paid fully IS per cent. OF
the claims against them. This record
cannot be equaled by any other COM
'mercial business in this country.
And the Bryan man stopped talking

The uneasiness expressed by various
| persons lest Mr.. Mckinley should make
| a mistake in the selection of cabinet
officials is gratuitous and foolish. Few
presidents on entering Office have had
such a wide acquaintance with public
men throughout the country as the
man who goes TO the head of the gov
eminent seven weeks hence enjoys.
From the time of his first election TO
congress in 1876 he has been IN pubic
life. with occasional brief intermis-
sions, and during large part OF this
time he has been q national figure. NO
man who has been president IN the
past third of century. not even Gar
field, came into intimate contact with
more public men of prominence than
has the gentleman who has just been
chosen TO that Office.
Moreover, the circle from which TO
choose competent political advisers and
assistants was seldom wider than II is
al this time. There are rumors that
certain senators have declined proffered
cabinet appointments. and probably
the reports are true. In recent years
the post of senator has come TO be re-
garded as far the most desirable TO be
had in this country except that OF pres
dent, while cabinet Office is not quite
30 highly esteemed as it once was
Still. there are doubtless some good
men in the senate who would enter the
Mckinley cabinet if seriously urged 10
do this by the proper person IN
ioubtedly there are many such men
in the house and in private life.
Nobody. so far as we know. has in
timated that Mr.. McKinley's Judgment
of men is in any sense defective, and
as everybody believes he wants TO get as
good men rs are available. all nervous
ness as 10 the result is rather untimely.
Perhaps il will not be possible for Nc
Kinley 10 select quite as great q cabi-
net as Lincoln had al one time. for
statesmen of the Seward. Chase and
Stanton caliber are rare in any age.
But he may be able 10 get cabinet
which will compare favorably with that
of HAYES. which had a very high aver
age of ability and efficiency in It's mem
bership. In balance and character. and
in the general adaptability of its mem.
bcrs to the duties of their respective
posts, the presidential council OF Ruth
,rford Il. Hayes was notably strong.
Mr.. Mckinley. with his manifold adj
yantages and opportunities. may be re-
led upon 10 select cabinet which will
be credit 10 its Trainer and which
will give satisfaction TO his party and
he country.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
