Treasurer Philips, of South Da-
kota, makes public the ia I that the
state has only $4,000 Of floating in
debtedness as against 1880, 900
owed Ly Iowa and 100000 by Ne
braska. The money is also in the
treasury to take up 100000 Of the
warrants issued at the time of the
Taylor ~defalcation. This looks as if
there had been some excellent fnan-
ciering done.

come with one quick, pulsating
stroke, on the eve Of McKiniey,s
election. Men of much experience
IN business, and the ADLER f%inanciers
knew that the election Of Mckinney
would produce only one immediate
result. II would stay distrust. 1t
would open the path for returning
confidence. 1t would be the turn
of the tide.
All through the winter the sound
ness of this view has been made
manifest. Little by little the coun-
try gained. Confidence was each
day stronger than the day before.
Money came from its hiding place,
although it lay idle, seeking EN-
ployment. Other impulses were
needed to bring it into use. Many
persons mistakenly believed that
this impulse would be created by
Mckinley, either by his authority
over congress or in some vague
administrative way. But, power
full as a president is, he can only
execute laws. He can urge con-
gress to pass a revenue law, but he
cannot command this to be done.
His moral influence is sure TO be
great, but it is not absolute. Nc
Kinley's election could, therefore,
only teud to increase confidence,
and inspire the belief that congress
would so legisIate as to make it pos
sibIe to pay the governments bills
without borrowing money.
This aided the healthful tenden-
cies of the winter, but it did not
make them, nor wholly explain
them. Other forces were moving
slowly, but surely, IN response to
those natural laws which are
irresistible, and which congress or
a president cannot change, or ig
more except at peril.
As powerfully, but almost as
secretly, at least as unobserved, as
those mighty forces of nature which
wake the earth from its winters
sleep, these forces we're at work
during the winter. until at last,
just as Mckinley begins his admin
is:ration, there comes visible evil
dsnces Of their power. They give
sure hints of what awaits us. lust
as the swelling buds tell of the har.
vest which is their fruition.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1897-09-03

That the customs collections since the new
tariff law went into effect have been very
light is, of course, explained by the fact that
the importers had crowded into the country
all the foreign goods which they could get
in under the low tariff rates of the Wilson
law prior to the enactment of the protective
measure now upon the statute books. Not
only did they scour the world for foreign
manufactures, but they ransacked the bond
ed warehouses, taking out the bonds on
everything upon which the new law in
creased the rates of duty. This is shown by
the recent official figures given the public at
Washington, which shows that only $751;
600, 900 worth of goods remained in the
bonded warehouses of the country at the
beginning of the month in which the Ding
ley law went into effect, compared with
more than $50. 900. 900 in those same ware
houses one year prior.

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all the life
giving secretions of the body into'scalding
fluids, which destroy and inflame every part
they come in contact with. Applications TO
the places affected by catarrh can DO little
good save to soothe or quiet disagreeaoie
symptoms. Hence 1t Is that gargles, sprays
atomizers and inhalants only serve as tenn
porary relief. Any medicine to effect
cure must be taken into the system
So long as the irritating secretious OF ca
tarrh continue to be formed so long will the
membranes continue to be iDfamed' nc
matter what treatment is used. There is
but one remedy that has this most desirable
effect, and that remedy is Pe-ru-na. Thls
remedy strikes at once to the root OF the ca
tarrh by restoring to the capillary vessels
their healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-na is not
temporary palliative, but a radical cure

The warehouse-certifcat scheme, where
in certificates based upon the bullion value
of silver may be used, is now the only hope
of ex. Governor Boies, of Iowa, as a basis
for currency. He said, months ago, as did
many OF those who last year supported the
free coinage silver idea, that the day for
that proposition had passed. In his latest
proposition, made public few days ago. he
suggests that the only method of making
silver useful as basis for currency is its
deposit in warehouses and the issuance Of
certificates upon Its bullion value. This
might be good scheme If silver did not
have an uncomfortable way of taking drop
every now and then.

death of brother-in-law, who was killed
Sunday while out driving with another
brother in-law of his, together with their
wives. The men were on the front seat
and Mr.. Slote's brother-in-law, Mr.. Mench,
was instantly killed. and the other gentle
man, Mr.. Snider, was also fatally injured.
The shocking accident was caused by tree
falling during the heavy gale of Sunday.
Neither the team nor the ladies, who were
on the back seat, we're injured at all. Mr..
Slote has but lately moved here from Three
Rivers and this makes 1t particularly sad to
be called back SO soon on such summons.

scalding water at 1872 to 1873 degrees Fahr..
but not In any case above 135 degrees.
Keep the water at an even temperature by
adding hot water. The amount OF scalding
water should be eight times as great as the
seeds treated, and the thermometer should
be consulted all the time the wheat is in the
scaldipg water. Spread the cleaned wheat
out thinly on the floor or on canvas to
dry. Then finally place 1t ia bags that

A half century of commerce Is good
deal better index to the capacity of coun-
try than a short period of two or three years.
The free. traders who are trotting out figures
to show that our sales of American manu-
features abroad increased under the Wilson
law would do we'll to look over the history
of the past half century before they 60 very
far into these statements. Ii they do so
they will find that In the quarter OF centu-
ry of low tariff the balance of trade was al
most constantly against the United States
while in the quarter of century OF protec-
tive tariff the balance Of trade was largely
in our.favor. In the twenty five years since
1872 there have been but five years In which
our exports did not exceed our imports,
while in the twenty-five years preceding
that there were but two years In which the
imports were not In excess of the exports
The excess of exports over imports In the
last quarter of century was about $780,
0OO, 900, while the excess of imports ovel
exports In the preceding quarter OF centu'
nv of low tariff was about 81, 400, 600, 900.

the democratic leaders who recognize that
