"FAvoRABLE BALANCES. -
But England Has Become Very Rich In
Spite OF n Continual Unfavor-
able balance,

Japan adopted the gold standard
three years ago and the administra-
ton organs say that country is pros
porous. They give, however, only one
reason to prove that prosperity They
say that the balance of trade is on the
right side-that exports exceed i'm
Ports-that she sends away some mill
lions more than she gets back. That
is prosperity according to the repub-
lean idea. If Japan keeps up this
pace her prosperity will soon equal
that of India, Egypt, Ireland and Tur-
key. All the last named countries ex-
port more than they import and some
of them have been doing so for centu-
ries. They have, therefore, become
very rich, don't you think?
If surplus of exports over imports
is an evidence of prosperity then Great
Britain is getting very poor, while
the United States is becoming inn
mensely rich. Do you believe such to
be the case? Is it not true, that Eng
land, while for half century she
has been receiving more than she sent
away, has achieved the control of the
markets and finances of the world?
Here is table of statistics for ten
years which may throw some light on
this subject:

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
All Corporal atoms Are Formed for the Pur-
Pose of Enjoying Privileges Spe-
cially Bestowed.

No corporation was ever formed
that did not secure in it's charter of
organization some concession or spe-
cial privilege from the government or
municipality granting it. A corpora
ton would not be incorporated unless
the promoters expected to secure
some special privilege not enjoyed by
the private citizen. We are therefore
opposed to all private corporations.
We make no possible exceptions. The
moment business becomes so COM
plicated or so vast that a private cit
iZen cannot manipulate it with his
own mind and his own means we favor
its ownership and operation by the
whole people in their organized capac-
ity of city, county. state or nation.
The political party which controls a
city, county, state or nation and de-
clares itself to be in favor of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" and then grants a single arti-
Gle of incorporation to private oor-
poration convicts itself by its own acts
of willful lying and deceit.
private corporation is chartered
special privilege"and is not consistent
with equal rights to all. We favor the
repeal of any laws now authorizing
the chartering of private corporations
or the granting of any special privi-
lege by any municipality, county,
state or the nation.
What the individual can't do let the
people do for themselves in their or
ganized capacity as society or govern
ment and cease the licensing of pri-
vate corporations to monopolize, rob
and rule the people. The granting of
special privileges is the beginning of
all our troubles with private monopo-
lies, trusts and other combinations

turned to the passengers, "and the lady IN

The Largest Cave.

Few people realize that Wind cave,
near Hot Springs, S. D., is the largest
and most beautiful cave in the United
States. No one knows how large it
really is. Over 100 miles of passages
and 5000 chambers have been ex-
plored. And that is only the begin
ming. There are IA different routes"
only three of which have been opened
to the public. They are known as
the Garden of Eden, Fair Grounds and
Pearly Gates.

a municipal telephone exchange for
5000 subscribers. The plant is to be
one of the most modern kind. It is

The other statement referred to the
growth and dominant power of the
National City bank of New York The
article says that this bank recently
made gain in it's specie holdings to
the extent of $s,OOO,OOO within one
week; that it's specie reached the enor-
nous total of $34 ASS, 900, and proceeds
to show what that means by the fol-
lowing comparisons: 1.-THE state
ments made by 16 national banks in
Chicago, in response to call from the
comptroller of the currency for
showing of their condition on April
26, showed that they held $685., 10Y
in specie, or about 100000 less than
the holdings of the National City bank
alone. Adding the legal tenders of
the Chicago banks, the total is SAL
965,75O, which is but $1,956,959 over
the cash reserve of the National City
bank alone. The total cash reserve
of the six ST. Louis banks was $13,-
462,63S, and that of the SO Boston
banks $22, SO6,236. The reserve of the
National City bank exceeds the total
reported by the A banks in those
two cities by over 100000.
The reserves held in the vaults of
the S29 country banks in the states
of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
mia, Delaware, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia on April &c was S34,-
1S1, 914, or about the total specie held
by the National City bank alone The
cash reserves held by the 524 banks in
New England was $1S,557 ,265, and the
336 banks of North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
the Indian territory, reported $1O,-
154,S22. This makes a total of $685.
712,OS7 for 900 banks. Adding the
$7,S27,012 held by all country. banks
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho. Utah,
Nevada, Arizona and Alaska, the cash
reserve of 1,O71 banks in 81 states
and territories aggregate nearly
So, 100000 below the cash holdings of
the National City bank" And the
Tribune, from which this is quoted,
without intent to create any fearful
ness or indicate state of affairs in
any wise out of the proper, says: The
position of the National City bank
enabled it, to absolutely command the
money market" If that statement
had been made by a lesser authority,
or one opposed to the control of the
currency by the national banks, ii
would have been set down as ''calam-
ity howl" But coming from the finan-
cial editor of the Chicago Tribune,
it will be accepted as true. How do
the people like the idea, not of the
national banks, but of one national
bank, being so situated as to ''abso-
lutely command the money market"
of this great nation?-Farmers' Voice.

HORSES IN
Equine ouadrupeds Necessary at the
Front.

The horse is not to become obso-
lete after alI-that is, so long as there
are wars. Automobiles and electric
cars may drive him from town ana
country, but the army is still left tor
him. One thing that the present war
in South Africa has emphasized is the
value of mobility in troops. And mo-
bilitv can only come through mounted
infantry, and mounted infantry needs
horses. Here, incidentally, lies a new
market for Canadian horses, and one
that may not be unworthy of attention.
The last official report Of Edwin M.
Stanton, secretary of wal in President
Lincoln's cabinet, gives some faint
conception of the enormous consump-
ton of horses and mules entailed by
active hostilities on a large scale dur-
ing such a Titanic war as that between
the Northern and Southern states of
the American Union, which lasted
from April, 1861, to May, 1865. The
report in question is dated Washing
ten. March 1, 1865, and contains the
following striking passage: The sup
ply of horses and mules to our armies
has long been at the rate of 500 per
day. which is also the average rate of
their destruction. The cavalry of the
army of the Potomac vas twice re-
mounted during the first eight months
of 1864. The resources of supply in
this country were able to bear the i'm
mense drains upon its horses and
mules, and, Judging from current pri-
ces, the stock shows no symptoms OF
exhaustion or diminution. An army in
the field, we'll equipped with artillery,
cavalry and trains, requires one horse
or mule to every two men. The num-
Der of horses and mules in our armies
is nearly equal"
If the calculation of Mr.. Stanton, the
American secretary of war in 1865, be
correct, 100, 600 British troops now en-
gagged in fighting the Beers would need
$4,000 horses and mules to keep them
going.-Philadelphia Times.
