The Evening Plumber vs.. the Med
cal Bill,

| Has anybody in the office of the st.
Paul Dispatch broken any bones of
late?
Is anybody undergoing massage
| treatment?
Is anybody so far gone as to lean
YEARLY upon the divine healer or
| osteopathy as the last resort for the
ills Of the flesh to which this world is
subject?
Does anybody owe a bill to the oste
opathic practitioner which must be
paid at so much per column in cold
type?
We imagine that all these friendly
queries may be answered in the mega
tive, and yet, somehow, the editorial
treatment given the medical measure
new before the legislature, by the Dis
patch, suggests the idea that some sort
of Indebtedness has been incurred that
| must be liquidated during this SEES
sion of the legislature
Else why is the declaration made
that upon the general ground of let
we'll enough alone, a warning might
be sounded against the medical bill.

effect that the capital stock of banks Is In
vestment capital, which, If released from
banking would Immediately become a sur
plus of investment capital. and that 1 esti-
mated there was s1S,0OO0 600 thus locked up
in banking capital in Minnesota in excess Of
what would be required to do the banking
business Of Minnesota with properly organiz-
ed systems Of banks, every dollar of which
was wasted so long it thus invested

the following abstract
Adding together the capital and surplus
needlessly locked up by the national and
state banks, and the excessive reserves which
the system Of isolated banks renders i'm
perative, we have the astonishing spectacle
of country which needs every dollar of It's
capital locking up $3.50 900, 600 more than is
necessary in one form of business alone. Such
condition Of affairs Is a reflection upon the

About the Weather.

observer Lyons has very pleasant dreams
Last evening he dreamed of balmy warm
waves, but they were not in evidence at 2
O'Clock this morning. The thermometer was
very wide awake. and TO show that it was
still doing business at the old stand, indicat-
ing 30 degrees under the zero mark. 1t was
cold early in the evening and colder later, but
the fall was not so rapid as has been GUS
tomary OF late. From % degrees below at
o'clock. the temperature fell to Is at 10
clock and 10 IS at midnight. However, it
Is always darkest before the dawn and the
dream of Mr.. Lyons may not be one of the
kind that goes by contraries.

Cheap Money and Vicious Trust In
VeStments.

The condition of things now prevail
Ing with respect to the investment
value of money in the United States
is one Of the most interesting studies
hitherto afforded the American people,
1t may also be added that the period
involving the existence of such a con-
dition is one of great Industrial dan
ger, unless the schemers who are most
active, at this juncture in endeavoring
to bring idle money into investment
groups by the creation Of trusts and
combinations for purely speculative
purposes receive something in the way
of positive check. In existing cir
cumstances Of the absence of compre-
hensive legislative control, the only
effective method that can be employed
Tor averting general disaster Is through
the work of warning, on the part of
those who foresee the dangers ahead,
and in restraining the public, in an ad
vlsory way, from entering the meshes Of
the nets that have been so skillfully
prepared for the capture of their little
fortunes
The purely speculative trust, as such,
Is gigantic evil, controlled by the
possessed of an abundance, with the
single purpose of filching, by seductive
methods, from those who have less ell
that constitutes the little that they
have. 1t is in periods. too, when money
Is most plentiful that these mercenary
worms are the most numerous and &C
tive; for the conditions are at such
times most propitious to their growth.
The numbers of new trusts created
! In 1898 represented the total sum Of
S916.OO0000. The accommodations Of idle
money in New York and other financ' al
centers were the incentives in this
movement. Nobody wants his surplus
money to remain unprOductive. Out
comes tempting scheme, bearing at
tractive names. Remunerative rates
OF interest are offered; and as the late
venerable Commodore Vanderbilt put
1t, in narrating an experience of his
own in one of these schemes in which
ne was mulcted, 1.-The fool gets the
certificate and the other fellow gets
the money"
Since Jan. of the present year, the
number of new trusts formed in the
several states exceeds all previous rec
ords during a like period, and If the
same ratio Is maintained month by
month with that OF January, the
| amount swallowed up by this destruc-
| tive anaconda will be far in excess of
that involved in the same process dur
| ing 1898. The conditions are absolute
ly startling. and as the Louisville
Courier Journal very appropriately
says, in an impressive article on the
subject. 1T is time to haiti"
In It's issue of Sunday last the Phil
adelphia Press printed a special dis
patch from New York in which the
statement was made that on that date
practically $372,oOO.OOO of money was
lying idle in the banks and trust COM
panies of twenty Of the leading money
centers of the country alone, as fol-
lows.

Meanwhile what have the active bust
ness men Of the Northwest been doing
TO attract share of this idle money
to this section? The amount appor-
toned to st. Paul banks in the above
statement is 100000. estimated. There
Is no doubt that this is a time when
honest enterprises begun In the inter-
ests Of genuine material development
or a local character may well be I'M
dertaken. The recent productiveness
or the farm lands Of Minnesota and the
Dakotas; the high prices prevailing
for live stock on account of the exist
ing scarcity throughout the country,
associated with an ever-increasing ex-
port demand; the growth of the bust
ness In our local stock yards; the grad
ual advance Of packing house indus
tries to points that are most available
to the stock on the Western ranches
ana nearby farms, all these afford op-
portunities for judicious and safe in
vestment, which ought now, if at any
time, to be available at fair rates to
beth borrowers and investors. The.
time is propitious, too, for the develop
ment of manufactures Of a local ma
lure, calculated to meet the enlarg-
ing demands Of the ever-increasing
population of the Northwest. Are not
some of these suggestions worthy of
thoughtful regard by those representing
the business enterprise of this commu-
nifty and others tributary hereto?
