Some of the little bankers in the
country are becoming scared. They
see that at last they are likely to have
to take the same medicine they have
been giving to other people. They
have upheld the gold grubbers OF Wall
street while they have been picking
the pockets of farmers, laborers and
retail merchants, and now they see
that they are going to be crushed by
the same irresistible force. The Nc
Cleary bill is a menace to all the
small banks, and that bill will become
law if Mckinley and Wall street can
force it through congress. These fell
lows deserve all they will get and few
people will shed tears on the day of
their calamity. They have upheld the
gold standard, and it is only justice
that the same standard should ruin
them: They have digged q pit for
others only to fall into it themselves.
They are punished by their own de-
vises, and are going to destruction
oyerithe same road that they thaat3r
selves have built: When the b, sjx;

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
V:tnderlip makes a significant admis-
sion in his second informal report on
conditions in Porto Rico. Relating
to the currency situation he argues
hat the rate of exchange should be
arbitrarily set by military order.
The present rate OF exchange is SO
I'-h that the Spanish land owners.
most Of them living in Spain, have az
undue advantage over the producer.
He says: 1T would be q hardship
on the debtor class to have the peso
too high, and the debtor class is the
whole working population of the
island. 1t is believed by some that to
underyalue the peso, guaged by the
average exchange rate, would work
much less hardship and would really
come very near being just" Itmakes
a great deal of difference to the Secre-
tary whose OK is being gored. He is
willing to give the Porto Riean labor
ers relief from Spanish oppression, but
when the American laborer demands
thai his dollar shall not be made too
high, people of the ilk of this secre-
tary, call them anarchistic repudia-
tors. Porto Rican laborers all be-
long to the debtor class, unconscious
ly reports this assistant secretary,
forgetting that the goldbug dictionary
places all laborers in the creditor
class. What a pity that Assistant
Secretary Vanderbilt has not taken as
much pains in ascertaiuing the true
conditions in United States of Ameri-
ca

The government pays out annually
an average of s35, 900, 900 for the trans
portation Of mail matter and mail
cars. This is at the rate Of eight cents
per- pound on average haul of $50
miles, or eight dollars per 100 pounds
for all the mail matter carried by rail-
roads. For the same service the rail-
roads charge the express companies
less than one-tenth Of the amount
charged the government, and it has
never been asserted anywhere that the
railroads were losing money in carry
ing express matter.-McIntOsh Times.

banking bill becomes law, the great
bank at New York will establish a
branch at every county seat in the
country, and the three or four note
shavers who are running so called
banks in those towns will have to skip.
They will be compelled to close up
shop and earn an honest living. The
country banker will be running a
butcher shop or peanut stand in less
than FIVE years. It will serve him
right, too, for this is what he has
been voting for. Wall street has
usei him, and has laughed ut him.
Now it is going to crush him. It
will be lots of fun to see the little fel-
low squirm.-Omaha Nonconformist.

Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept 16..-Tere was a re-
crudescehce of fears of a squeeze In the
money marie today. This had the ef-
feet OF bringing the morning advance in
the prices of stocks TO standstill. The
dullness that followed invited operations
by the bears. They centercd their at
tacks on Sugar which was but feebly
supported at any time during the day,
though there were|one or two sharp raj
lies on covering of shorts. They effected
an extreme decline of over five points in
this stock, and worked reaction in the
whole list, earlier advances being entire
ly wiped out with a few exceptions. The
decline did not bring any very heavy Of
ferings and was effected on light trans
actions for most stocks. Total sales were
497, 100 shares.
