THE WORK IN IOWA.
Reasons Why One New Grange Was
Recently Organized

Recently Organized.
Grange work in Iowa seems to be
progressing, although slowly. In the
early history of the order Iowa was
one of the great grange states, having
for a time over 1000 subordinate
oranges, but at the present time IT'S
oranges are. SO few as not to entitle
it to representation in the national
grange. But there are evidences that
the grange spirit is again reviving and
that Iowa will soon again be repre-
sented in the national body. A grange
was recently organized at Matlock.
Sioux county, Ia. with Hon Luther
Bishop, former state senator at its
head. He was for years prominent
grange organizer in New York state.
Safe Senator kimlnell is also active
in promoting grange work at Sheldon.
la. 1t is interesting to note why Mat
lock grange was organized A COM
mittee of five Of the best farmers of
that section was appointed to inves-
tigate all existing farmers organiza-
tons and report which seemed the best
adapted to the needs of the farmers
in that section. After a long investi-
cation the committee unanimously re
ported in favor of the grange for the
reasons that its membership is By far
the greatest of any farmers organiza-
ton in the world, it has a record of
usefulness in legislation In nearly
every state in the union and its In
fuence in national legislation has al
ways been for the farmers interests.

Especial washington Letter.

SNAe~A
n # we take a look at the figures of
the daily treasury statement is
sued and printed under the law
= by the treasury department, 1t APP
pears that it will be but few months
until all the available cash in the treas
ury is gone.
When the last fiscal year ended, at
the close of business June 80, it was
found that the receipts for the year
had been nearly twenty-five millions
short of the expenditures. 1t (he de-
iciency) would have been greater if
the payment of some items due in June
had not been postponed until July.
This postponement caused the def
cheney for the month of July to be
greater than 1t will probably be in any
of the next few months. During July
1t was almost fourteen millions. For
August it is about eight millions. If
we assume that the August deficiency
Is fair sample, In the fourteen months
which will elapse before the congress
sional election of next year the net
deficiency between now and election
day will be in the neighborhood of
one hundred and twelve millions. If
this amount is deducted from the
amount of available cash now in the
treasury, there will be left puny
balance of about ten millions. At
the present rate at which the treasury
is being drained the ten millions which
would remain on election day would
last about forty days longer, not until
Christmas of the year 1906. That date
will be before President Roosevelt will
have served the first half of his present
term. Even if the available cash bal
ance shoul6 be strung out to last until
March 4, 1907, then the Republican adj
ministration will have two years to
run and viii either have to dig into the
sacred gold reserve or issue bonds.
They wouldn't have to do either of
these things if they didn't have the
Philippines on their hands. They
wouldn't have to do either of these
things if they could economic, but
they can't. They tried it in the last
session of congress and the session
before it, and the deficit is larger than
ever. If they try to increase the reye-
nues by reducing the high tariff wall,
they split up their party; hence they
will not attempt it. If they put on
the war taxes which we paid during
the Spanish war, now that we are liv-
ing in peace everywhere except in the
Philippines and the big life insurance
offices, the party would face certain
defeat
Many thoughtful men will look for
ward with interest to see how the Re
publican administration will meet this
outgrowth of their Philippine folly,
their extravaganza and their sky high
tariff
