ONE OF SEVEN.
Only Seven Cities in the United
States With Banking facilities
Equal to Hutchinson's.
First Nationals High Rank is Due ia
Progressive Enterprise and Conserva-
tive Management-Assets, 81
100000. OO-Deposits Ex-
ceeding S1,O0O,OOO 90.

Every citizen of Hutchinson and
every we'll informed business man in
Kansas knows the high standing OF
the First National Bank of Hutchin-
son. They know that it has kept pace
with the growth of the city and has
year by year grown more solid and
substantial, more able to respond to
the banking needs of the community.
Few even of home people know, how
ever, that this bank has made name
for itself and reputation for the City
of Hutchinson, which extends far be-.
yond the limits of the State of Kansas
The last report of the Comptroller
of Currency, Washington. D. c., lists
but seven cities in the United States
population of about 10000 which have
banks with deposits exceeding $1,000
10000. One of these is Hutchinson, all
the others are in far eastern cities In
Ill the west there is NO other bank
with such a record. There are but
three other larger banks In Kansas
than the First National of Hutchinson.
One is in Topeka and the others at
Leavenworth and Wichita. The Uni
ted States Treasury has selected the
Hutchinson bank as one OF the govern
ment repositories for the state.
The great success of the First Ma
tional Bank is due to the progressive
enterprise of the gentlemen who have
been its officers and directors during
the last twenty-five years. 1t has been
the policy of the bank to be an in
tegral factor in the public development
Of this part of Kansas. Realizing that
its own welfare is closely connected
with that of Hutchinson and Reno
county in particular and of Kansas in
general, the bank has sought in every
dignified and legitimate manner to
advance the material interests of the
whole territory mentioned. AS re-
suit, Hutchinson is one of the seven
cities of 10000 population which have
banks with deposits of over million
and total resources of million and a
quarter dollars
The savings department of the bank
Tor boys and girls pays 3 per cent in
serest on all deposits and has been a
source not only of direct, but indirect
benefit to the institution, since the
great Importance to the little ones OF
their tiny deposits must necessarily
create interest in the households in the
regular banking department and these
add to it's prestige and patronage
through the parents, as well as ere
ating future clientele from the grown
up Little ones"
Rhe officers of the First National
Bank are L. L. Meyer, president; L. A.
Bigger, president and w. ii,
Eagan, cashier. These gentlemen, to-
gether with James F. Redhead and b.
G.. Horton, form the Board of Directors.

PROJECTIONS UTILITY.
To Help Home Labor and Produce
Treasury Revenues.

Treasury Revenues.
1t appears very ridiculous" to the
Burlington Gazette ito base an argu-
ment in favor of protective tariff on
the presumption that it promotes
prosperity" Has Burlington no taxes
for itinerant merchants? Is there no
sentiment in Burlington based on the
presumption that the prosperity OF
the city is promoted by buying at
home? Are the artisans and laborers
Of Burlington satisfied that 1t is all
the same to them whether they do
the work of Burlington or whether
the orders are placed in Chicago or
ST. Louis?
Prosperity even for the few cannot
long continue without employment
for the many in productive industry.
1t is safe to say that Burlington peo-
pic of the laboring class who are not
working have poor credit at the
stores. If conditions are such as to
inforce idleness the loss of credit is
expanded, and the loss Of credit
brings want, distress, business fail
ure and panic. If things stop conges-
ton follows, prices drop, money is
locked up and the business Of every
body is to make the worst OF the
situation.
The thing to do, if possible, is 10
keep the machinery going and the
markets open. If there is plenty OF
work at fair price prosperity is in
the air. With opportunity to work
abundant it is ridiculous to. make
argument against prosperity. How is
labor to be well employed if left to
nurse it's shins and suck its thumbs
There must be work to do and remu-
nerative wages. The presumption is
that Burlington does not need to inn
port labor for its steady jobs, and
no more does the United States.
The protective policy is based on
the presumption that it is wise to do
as much of our own work as we can.
Therefore in the business of raising
revenue from imports the protective
policy aims to give the advantage to
home producers, to the end that our
home labor may be prosperous. Pro-
lection promotes prosperity.-Sioux

At GETTYSBURG.

was in reserve. The federals had the
short line. About o'clock THURSDAY
the second days battle commenced
with an attack on Sickles, afterwards
on Birney.
"The troops on the Salient were
driven away, but others seized tne
Round Tops, which Lee wanted. Inc
battle was resumed at the left on the
Cemetery. and the confederates fear
fully slaughtered. At night they at
tackled the refused line on the rocky
and timbered left rear, and were
beaten everywhere except at one I'M
closed point. Pickett did not get up
till that night. The next morning the
confederates were driven out OF their
Judgment in VOLTS hill, and the union
army with closed lines, awaited the
assault upon the Cemetery hill, now
the center and bastion.
From l to 3 o'clock the full artii-
cry on both sides cannonaded, but the
union position had been fortified and
when Pickett's and Pettigrew's infant
nv stormed they were dissipated,
while an attempt to flank the Round
Tops and seize the trains was put to
confusion by Kilpatrick's cavalry
The confederates had lost $500 Kill
ed. 10000 wounded and $4,000 prison
ers and deserters. The federals lost
1884 killed, nearly $4,000 wounded
and 1000 prisoners, and had eighteen
important generals killed or wound
ed. the invaders dozen. The feder'
ais had the fewer troops and the
fewer engaged.
Saturday the dead were buried and
the invading army withdrew over the
South mountain to Hagerstown,
which they reached Monday, July IA,
Lee recrossed the Potomac at VIII
Transport, Md. Twenty-Five days had
been the limit of any part of that
army occupying the country north oil
the Potomac, from van coming In to
rear going out
Upon the union side the only con.
troversy has been whether Meade pur'
sued promptly. The opportunity to
take the confederate army was ap-
parently as good after Five Forks.
THE confederate authorities have
differed as to whether Lee should
have attacked or flanked, whether
Stuart ruined him or he lost his su.
perb equipoise.' But there were no
more invasions of the free states. The
war fell back to Winchester, where 1t
began. and thence to Petersburg, ex'
posing Richmond. 1t retired from
Vicksburg to Chattanooga at the same
time"

Any one of the great combinatiCrs

il the protection is removed, will sim
ply set itself to driving independent
operators out of business until it has
made a place for itself large enough to
give it a profit under any and all con-
ditions. There will not be sign OF
trouble in the trust. But there will be
a storm of bankruptcies on all sides OF
it. The outsiders will all go to the
wall or they will 60 into the trust

BABCOCK AND REVISION.
Triumph of Protection Over the Free
Trade Idea.


Representative Babcock's interpre-
tation of the meaning of the result of
the recent election is ingenious, but
not conclusive. "If," he says, "the
Democrats had won the house it
would have signified that the people
want no tariff revision for the next
two years, as it would have been
impossible to accomplish anything in
that direction with Democratic house
and a Republican Senate" The impos-
sibility of securing a revision of the
tariff with a Democratic House and
Republican Senate is easily conceded,
but nothing more. Had a Democratic
House been elected Democrats would
not have construed 1t as a rebuke to
Democrats; Republicans could not
have rejoiced in ii as an Endorsement,
but II would have been universally
regarded as a distinct encouragement
to free trade agitation The people
do not sustain and foster any set of
national policies by voting the enc
mics of those policies foothold in
this government. They may some
day measure up to such subtlety, but
Just now their procedure is the plain,
straightforward one of voting for
those whose policies they approve
and against those whose policies they
condemn. The issue of the campaign
was not a deadlock between the two
houses TO prevent tariff revision sby
Republicans, but matters in contro-
versy between the parties. No Re
publican anti-revisionist appealed to
the people to elect a free trader for
the purpose of preventing revision.
The Republican victory. like all other
Republican victories, is a triumph OF
the protection idea over the free trade
