RESERVE BANKS WILL OPEN
NEXT MONDAY.

The opening of the regional reserve
banks next Monday will release hum
dreds Of millions of money now tied
up as reserves and otherwise. That
will make money easier, loan rates
lower, and commercial paper will be
readily absorbed.
These new banks will be bankers
banks. The public will have no direct
connection with the reserve bank. It
will not receive general deposits nor
will it make general loans. It's most
important duty will be, to buy COM
mercial paper belonging to member
banks. G.1 $500 .G.@1 &
When a msmber bank has not mon
eys enough to meet the request for
loans, it can require the reserve bank
to buy some of it's promisory notes,
and in that way secure the money
needed by borrowers. 80, mi
The treasury officials estimate
that the reserve banks will release
and turn into the channels of trade
and commerce no less than $464, o00,-
900.

THE cATAcLYsM BRoADENs AS
TURKEY ENTERS.

The entrance Of Turkey into the
terrible European conflict, on the
side Of Germany and Austria, means
more trouble for suffering humanity.
There will be more graves reeking
with blood and watered with tears
Of affection on account Of Turkeys
action. ~,
There will be more loses and priva-
tions and less luxuries in that afflict'
ed land, and in all Of the other war
scurged countries.
And what is going to follow these
awful conditions? There will certainly
be great need of labor to bind up
the wounds Of war and procure the
~necessaries Of life. ~
Will this object lesson, with its CO.
lossal loses, teach mankind that civ
ilization, if it is to endure and In
crease in usefulness must be safe
guarded by something better than ma
terial things, something better than
physical force. The Master said: All
they that take the sword shall perish
by the sword" Will mankind learn
to profit by these words, which are
as true today as they, were when firs
spoken nearly 1000 years ago?

MINNESOTA GREATEST IRoN'oRE
PRODUCER.

Minnesota far outranks all other
states in the mining Of iron ore, ana
during the last four years has ON
tributed both in quantity and value
considerably more than half the ron
ore produced and marketed in the
United States, according to the United
States geological survey. In 1913 the
total marketed production of iron ore
in this country was 5~9,643,O9S long
tons. valued at s130,905 ,55s, OF which
Minnesota contributed 36,603,331 TONS
valued at $50, 7S9, O25. In 1912 Mime
sofa produced ~34,249,813 long tons OF
iron ore. valued at SCI, 1905, OF. Be
cause of it's great wealth in iron ore
and of their extended development,
Minnesota ranks ninth among all the
States in the total value of tits min
eral production. The value Of the
iron ore produced in the state repre-
sents considerably more than 80 per
cent of the total output. The value OF
the mineral products of Minnesota in
1913, exclusive Of iron ore, was 3d.
O25, sos. These include the products
of the stone quarries and the clay
pits.

CERTAINTY AND CONFIDENCE.

(From the New York World.)
The remnants OF the old guard Of
staudpat:sm who have been elected
to the sixty-fourth Congress are full
Of boasts end menaces. but they nev-
er were more deluded in their lives.
They are not going to wipe out
the laws pa ssed by the Sixty-third
Congress, for they have not votes
enough. They are not going to re-
wise the tariff upward in the interest
Of the trusts, or put the injunction
shackles again upon lawful organized
labor, or restore financial suprema-
cy to Wall street, or nullify the Sher-
man law, or hand Alaska over again
to the looters, or call back the lob
by because they cannot.
With ample Democratic majorities
in both Houses Of the next Congress,
everything thus tar done by the
Wilson administration will be safe
guarded; the uncompleted Democratic
legislative programme will be car-
ried out, and reaction will be impos-
sible. Even to the point is the
fact that the important Democratic
gains in the Senate this fall probably
assure control Of that body for four
years to come. Nothing but a sweep
ing political revolution in 1916 could
restore republicanism to power in
that quarter before 1918.
AS showing how unlikely such an
upheaval must he regarded, there is
another monumental fact which the
elder statesmen have overlooked. The
Democratic party in 1912, as they tru'
ly said, was a minority party. 1t
gained place through the division of
it's opponents. This year it retains
office in the face Of a republlcanism
that in most places was practically
united. II the Democrats are not in
al actual majority on national issues
today, a representative system that
gives them a preponderance OF fif-
teen in the Senate and twenty-five
or thirty in the House is wofully at
fault.
The Wilson reforms, then, are here
to- stay. They have been effected IN
der trying conditions at home n
abroad. On a straight issue as to
them, they have been sustained. In
force two years longer, the country
will he no more inclined to go back
to privilege, plutocracy and plumber
than to slavery and secession.
It is this prospect Of peace n
progress that is giving confidence to
legitimate enterprise all over
land. It is the knowledge that threats
of political .upheavals in the interest
Of selfish cliques and repudiated doc
trines are futile that supplies honest
men everywhere with the n 1nsp1r-
alton that recently they have lacked.
There is certainty and not uncer-
tainty ahead, and the certainty Is OF
equal rights and opportunities, OF
lust laws and their impartial enforce
ment. and of government not for the
few but for the many, all strongly
upheld by a President and a Con-
gress who believe in them.
Business is treasured, not because
= few irreclaimable old reactionarles
have come to life but because the po-
litical situation is such as to render
them harmless. Their fangs are drawn
The survivors of Hannaism who are
to appear in the new Congress will
not be terrors. They will no %
leaders. They will be warnings.

ELECTION ~AFTERMATH.

Now that it is all over, democrats
are not grieving over a few defeats
but rejoicing over the fact that they
have increased their majority in
the Senate from ten to fifteen and
retained control OF the House by a
majority not less than twenty-five
the combined vote of all other
parties.
There were at least four distinct
factors, any n Of which might have
defeated the democratic party at the
recent elections.
In some respects, the body-politic
Is similar to the human body. The
life OF a person may be threatened
by 9 malignant growth, which does
not in its earlier stages cause
much Inconvenience. But the growth
must be promptly removed or death
will result. The removal by the sur
geon will weaken and PROSTATE the
patient and a considerable time must
elapse before there is a return to
perfect health.
The Wilson administration found
our body-politic afflicted by a tariff
ulcer, which taxed the consumers of
the country, exempted wealth and be-
slowed privileges on a favored few.
That ulcer was the first one to be
removed.
The second operation was the re-
moval Of the money trust ulcer, and
that was performed in an exceeding
" skillful manner, although the ef-
fects Of the anaesthetic will not
entirely disappear until next Monday
when the new banks will commence
to do business.
A third operation was found neces-
sary to free the arteries OF COM
merce from trust DISTRACTIONS and
that operation was a success, and
after a brief period of convalescence
1t will produce lasting benefits.
The fourth factor is the disarrange-
ment Of the country's business, caus-
cd by the great war in Europe. I'M
portations of merchandise from many
countries fell Oft to such an extent
as to seriously cut down u reve-
nues That obliged congress to impose
new and burdensome taxes, and there
never was and never will be such a
thing as a popular tax.
Each one Of these four Factors
had a tendency to temporarily weak
en- the Wilson administration, but as
soon as the b%ody-politic is adjusted
to the new and healthy conditions,
these things which constituted a
weakness in 1914 will grow into tow
ers OF strength before 1916. IL
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1914-11-11

Before the election the writer earn
estly contended that at a time like
the present it would be a crime
against humanity to give a hostile
Senate the power to tie the hands
of Wilson and Bryan. And since the
election he is pleased to know that
the American people have not COON
mitted such a crime. On the contra
ry they have increased the democra-
tic majority in the Senate from ten
to fifteen, thus assuring Wilson and
Bryan that they have the support
Of their countrymen.
