A NOTE OF WARMING.
Decrease of bank Deposits Makes Il
Financial Cntaclynm Probable.


When the bankers sound notes Of
warning of the near approach of tinan-
cial trouble and the instability Of Il
large number of banks from land in
vestmcnts and speculation. it is liElc
for the rest of us to look after our
own money and be sure ii is in safe
hands. The warming has been given
from many quarters during the past
year. but never more clear than by
Judge John ". Lusk, president of ~
German-American bank of ST Paul, in
an address ut the late meeting OF the
Bankers association of Minnesota. lie
said:
There never was Il better time for
bankers to look Il little out ti;in now.
We can see. as others cannot. the ear
marks and signs of financial trouble.
When was in Chicago Il short time
ago l learned that the country bank
balances ut that point had decreased
$1O.0GO,0OO. All the city banks made
similar reports of their country corrc-
spondcnts. The banks of Iowa. for OK
ample. are trcading Oh dangerous
ground. The majority of the country
banks in this state are tied Tip for
money, and their balances are fewer
than for Il long time. Many bankers
have been carried away by the idea of
prosperity and have invested and spec
ulatcd until they wish they had not
done SO. Hardly IL day passes in this
city but we learn of some country bank
in trouble. Several have closed their
doors in the last three or four months.
and others are waking un to the danger
of being compelled to close"
These uttcrances of Judge Lusk We're
Endorsed and the warming repeated by
j. w. Wheeler of Crookston. president
of the Bankers association.
The financial news of the country is
filtered out to the people by the Asso-
ciated Press, which is dominated and
managed by Wall street and Repub-
lican influences, and hardly IL word has
appeared in the newspapers OF the
withdrawal of deposits the failures of
panicky times that the st. Paul bankers
tell about Wall street and it's bust
ness associates. the Republican lead
ers, are prating of prosperity for the
double purpose Of forcing on the public
the undigested watered stocks and to
continue in power the rotten political
party that aids and abets the trusts
and corporations in robbing the people.
Yet they know that a financial cata-
clysm is imminent. When the crash
comes. as it will come, many depostors
will remember the warning Of Banker
Lusk, delivered to his brother bankers
and not intended for the public ear,
and will regret that they did not take
advantage of it.

President and Machine Politicians.

President and Machine Politicians.
Senator Hanna announces that Post
master General Payne will stay at the
head Of his department, and as Sen
ator Hanna thinks the investigation Of
the scandals has already gone too far
and seriously injured the Republican
party we may surmisc that Mr. Payne
feels the same way. 1t is hardly to be
wondered that those two machine poll
ticians are thus convinced, but it is
extraordinary that President Roosevelt
stands hack to back" with the Wiscon-
sin lobbyist, and yet Senator Hanna
says SO. President Roosevelt has done
many strange things and still holds the
favor of the majority of the Republican
party, but there are lots of Republican
and Independent voters who will ballz
at this Endorsement of Mr.. Payne. I'M
less he shows most effectually that he
will prosecute the big robbers as well
as the small ones. So far he has shown
great unwillingness to push the inves-
tigation and is now attempting to stifle
the publication of the news by order
ing that nothing be given out by any
one but himself, and he tells nothing.
This does not look like probing the
scandals to the bottom. for publicity
is the best evidence of thorough in
vestigation. and secrecy means in
uigue.

Steel rrust.s Profits.

The quarterly report of the United
States Steel corporation again reminds
us of what Il heavy load we are carry
ing in our protection baby carriage.
This great big, blubbaring. bulldozing
besgar brat reports net earnings foE
the quarter ending June 30 OF $3G,-EJo.-
52S Just think OF it. This protected
infant is earning over $4Un.Oon Il day.
or over $13H.ODG.GUJ Il year a..d this,
too. on total sales of about S41U,UOUUup.
This means that goods that cost $50,
0OO.UGO to produce are Soltt for s4'l,-
O0O,QGO. or at profit Of over 40 per
cent This trust can make this very
high rate of profit because Dingley
tariff duties prevent our people from
going outside of this country to buy
steel goods. If we could have even the
privilege of buying goods of the trust
at the prices it charges foreigners we
could save S75OOO.0OO Il year and the
trusts profits would be that much less.
but still very large.
And yet at every whisper that the
tariff should be revised Senator Hanna
and his stand patter' crowd cry
Hands off, and Don't touch the sa-
cred Dingley tariff" What rot. What
tommyrot! How long will the people
stand for 40 per cent profits to this
monster: When will they cease to
vote for the party that protects this
giant robber?

Will He Resixn?

Postmaster General Payne's reported
anxiety to resign should lead to an
official intimation that his resignation
will be acceptable. The president could
not do better than to promptly ease
Mr.. Payne's mind on this point He
might even inform the postmaster gen.
eral that there is no reason why the
resignation should be deferred until
the assembling of congress. The post
Office department scandal, which Mr..
Payne so desperately strove to smother,
has reached a stage where the post
master generals resignation or removal

bineS and corporations has been mis-
cradle failure.
If the voters have arrived at the con-
clusion that these sample suits against
the railroads and the industrial COM
ng their exactions and the Republicans
refuse to try the Democratic plan of
reducing or abolishing the tariff that
protects the trusts. the logic of the sit
uation is that the Republican admins
tration is a failure.
Shall the Democrats be given an op-
portunity to try their plan Of tariff re-
form? Under that programme congress
would abolish the duty on trust pro-
auctions and revise the tariff on other
importations so that enough revenue
would be produced to provide for the
wants of the government honestly ad-
ministered. With the duty abolished
on their products the trusts would have
to reduce prices enough to prevent for
eign goods Of similar kind and quality
from being imported. AS many of the
trusts now export their surplus prod
ucts and compete with the foreign man.
efacturers on their own ground, there
is no doubt that the enormous profits
they now enjoy could be cut to the
amount Of the protection that the tariff
now gives them.
So the question for the voters to de-
eide is which side will they take-the
Republican plan Of continued protec-
ton to the trusts, with it's extortionate
prices, or the Democratic plan Of tariff
revision and its certain reduction in
trust prices.

KEEPING AT 1T
NO CHANGE IN THE MANCHURIAN
SITUATION.
Constant Flow of Russians and War
Materials on Both Banks of the
Yalu--United States Will Insist
on Equal Privileges in That Ter
ritOry.

London, May 22.-According to a
Picking dispatch to the Times, dated
May 10, the situation at Newchwang
and in Manchuria, in spite of the proc
lamatiops and assurances, IL unctang-
ed. There is constant flow of Russians
and war materials to both Chinese and
Korean banks of the Yalu river. Trust
worthy evidence, says the dispatch,
confirms the report that a number of
are differed by Russians. They num-
Der at least 1000 and carry badge
inscribed Protectors of the Forest. !"
Reviewing the Manchurian situation
and commenting on the apathy of the
powers, the Times correspondent AYERS
that China is agreeing, one by one, to
all the Russian demands. She has al
ready undertaken not to ALLEVIATE any
portion of Manchuria to any other pow
er, not to alter the present administra-
ton in Mongolia, and has given an as
surance not to employ foreigners in the
administration of Manchuria, and
whether China gives her consent or not,
Russia retains the telegraph lines be-
tween Port Arthur and Mukden.
China has agreed that Russia shall
have full control of the custolnP at
Newchwang and there is little doubt
that an agreement exists giving Russia
exclusive mining rights in the Mukden
Province.
When Manchuria is gone, what Sc
curity will there be, asks the CORES
pendent, for the position of Japan in
Korea, military or civil? Does any
one know what secret agreement was
signed by the emperor of Korea druing
the year he resided as refugee in the
Russian legation at Seoul.
The Times correspondent asserts that
on April % M. Planchon handed to
the Unite States minister, Mr.. Con.
ger an official copy of the Russian de-
mands on China in the original Rus
sian, written in his own hand.
The Times, commenting on the fore
going dispatch from its Picking cores
pendent, says
"Our correspondents assertion is am
pie and straightforward. 1t can be dis
proved if it is false, but until it is dis
proved it must finally dispose of any
lingering doubt as to the precise value
of the official assurances of the Russian
demands"
