ECICLE3 AT WOIUC.
The comptroller of the currency has
Just published a statement of the con
dition of the national banks doing bus
iness in New York City which Is very
encouraging, statements from these
banks were called for on the 3d inst.,
and on that date the reserve held was
35.17 per cent as against 25.30 per cent
on July 12. This Is a very satisfactory
gain, and proves that In spite of un
favorable conditions, which still exist,
the financial situation shows signs of
Improvement The' gold coin, gold
treasury certificates and gold clearing
house certificates aggregated $09,000,000
as agalnBt $50,000,000 on July 12. The
gold icoin Increased $20,000,000. The
enormous business done by thece banks
is indicated , by the deposits as given
In this statement, the aggregate of
which Is $249,500,000, a gain of $2,800,000
over the last report.
The history of New York banks dur
ing the recent panic has been credita
ble in every way. Much has been done
by them to prevent further disaster
by maintaining credit and assisting sol
vent enterprises. These institutions
are condemned by rural statesmen, but
such condemnation Is as silly as It is
unjust. A still further Improvement
will be witnessed when the endless be
bute now In progress at Washington
is brought to a close, and a flnanclul
policy is adopted which bankers can
count upon as a basis for future oper
ation. The uncertainty of the present
situation cannot but help work Injury
to the banks if It Is allowed to continue
much longer. We see a gleam of hope
In today's messages, that opens u a
icosonuble prospect of a repeal vlctjry
That it will develop Into a certaii. j
Will be the earnest prayer of thousands
of business men who stand on t
verge of ruin.
SI DE-SPLITTINa WIT.
, Thio "Nolo and Comment" young
mnn on the. Oregonian grows funny In
a lumplnh attempt to ope Ambrose
lllorce and Revolntlonas mixed. lit
writes: -
"Many yeurs ago a blue-eyed, fair
haired boy, brave with ambition and
a oollego diploma, became a reportc
m a dally paper, a position he had
long dreamed of. The city editor, nflei
uVilvorlng a brief but Important lee

of his position, said: "Now Mr. So-aml

on it. The young man went out wl
a happy heart and with vlnlons of
llist-page article embellished with
map and two or three portraits danc.
Ing before his eyes. Of course the man
told him the Item was all rlsht enough,
but It wasn't ready to uw yet. ami
would have to wait a few days. 8inr
then other men have gone East and
returned, and the reporter, through
nlternatoi 'liope and disappointment
has become bowed with are and rrv
with the strain of suspense. He lB
Kill following up the Astoria railroad
; roject, and In the Wanderings of his
i hatlored reason, often takes bin arami
children ujion his knee, and tells them
of the wonderful article he Is going to
write when the road Is built."
The Orefronlan, for the public safety
really ought to do It duty, In this mat
ter. We quote from one of Its editor!
nla of yesterday what we conceive that
Uiity to b: "It Is an exceptionally rare
case wherein the family of an Imbecile
ur Insane person la Justified In the en
deavor to care "Tor the afflicted recrr.Lcr

of the most advanced humanitarians

driveling, helpless imbeciles will be
dealt with as mercifully as are hope
lessly wounded or suffering creatures
of the brute creation. Humanity can
Interpose its kindly offices and remove
the unfortunate, to a place where pity
and .intelligence, join hands in the effort
to reduce the burden of existence un
der such conditions to the minimum."
Once more we repeat that the "Note
and Comment" young man on the Or
egonian ought to be condemned to read
ihe Oregonian and then hie himself up
to Salem and penitently ask for a
padded cell.
NOT A .PARALLEL.
One of the fallacies of American free
traders Is to assume that a policy
which worked well In England fifty
years ago will work well in the United
States at the present time. England
has never admitted all kinds of goods
free, but all sorts of raw materials are
admitted free. This enabled her manu
facturers to make the most of their
superior machinery and their excellent
facilities for reaching the markets of
other countries. The raw-material In
dustry was so small compared to the
nanufacturlng Industries that might
be built up that the former was dellb
eratel sacrificed. Probably under the
conditions that prevailed the policy
adopted was wise. But the American
free trader prefers to adopt a like pol
icy under notoriously different circum
stances. Unlike England we are es
sentially producers of raw material.
In giving manufacturers free raw ma
terial we strike down numerous and
profitable industries. We propose to do
this at a time when the markets of the
world are not open to capture as they
were when England declared for free
trade. In fact, the markets of the
world are not now worth any consid
erable sacrifice. England, which once
hold them, has been partially driven
out. The cheapest labor countries In
the world are contending fiercely for
them. England has sacrificed her farm
ing Interests and is now crowded out
r.f the markets for which she made the
sacrifice. But the American free trad
er Is going blindly In the same direc
tion without a chance of the prize
which tempted English statesmen Into
that faith.
There is reason to believe there are
deeper, at least broader, troubles, than
those that relate to money, in the af
fairs of the nation; that there cannot
be full restoration to prosperous con
ditions until the manufacturing indus
tries know Just how much protection
they are to have, or how little wheth
er we are to be under the actual, prac
tical control of the confederate consti
tution. We have not arrived there yet,
but there Is a slight sense of relief.
The manufacturers, beholding the in
capability of congress, have concluded
that they have a good deal of time
before them: that congress may be de
pended upon for a few months to do
nothing; that the president's tariff re-
fcrm Is a vague profession, and not to
be realized immediately. There is a
slow, painful movement that grows
from this presumption, - It is not thor
oughly healthy, but it Is better than
no sign of life. On the chosen ground
of the president, the Blmplest form of
the money question, his followers in
political faith dlvldo and hang them
selves across the fence, and the senate
Is used as a Btumbllng block. Demo
cratic leaders hesitate and prevaricate,
stumble and mumble, over the question
whether it is safe to do anything. Is
this failure, or what?
The most odious falsehood that walks
the earth Is that cheap money, dopie
clated coin, inflated. currency, collapsed
credit, Hllver dollars half flat, poor pa
IMtr, aw the poor man's friends. Can
It be possible that every generation of
American people have to be schooled
In experience to know that truly the
Ughest standard is the poor man's pro
tection from: the cheap money sharks,
the most Insidious and Incessant of
robbers?
The silver Peps ar.d puffers and Fet
ters, the lunatics of the' West, have
been treated with too much courtesy
and deference by a majority of the
senators and of the press and the peo
ple. They need to be hit hard with
hammers, punched with pokers and
Pinched with tongs. They would un
derstand that sort of thing, and might
ccme to a knowledge of themselves.
Tr.ey are d6ing the country a mischief,
end the senate of the United States
has been turned into a silver piggery,
with a result of demorallxatton that is
deplorable. Cannot the party alleged
to be in power give us a little reform?
It Is not the eternal duty of govern
ment to ftid a market for the dOver

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AX ESTABLISHED SAFEGUARD,
Anybody who tiavela by cars knows what
is meant by " an open switch." It is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveler. I ta victim killed, horribly man
gled or niuim.il for life ore numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch " is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves. -
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
It is Heart Disease I "But," you reply, con
fidently, "I haven't any heart disease my
heart is all right." Are you sure?
Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor
ders of the heart nre as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo-
Ele are not aware of this important fact is
ecause symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, filiating or smothering
spells, your heart it affected.
"1 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. Dr. Miles' Nervine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
of any benefit and cured me." L. M. DYER,
Cloverdale. Md.
" My wife has been taking Br. Miles' New
vwe tor im Jieart. cue minus iiwonuurn.i.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used Dr. MiM Fills, and we find thera
all they are claimed to be." GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa.
These and hundreds of similar testimo
nials are convincing proofs of the wonderful
Fowers of Dr. Miles' New Cure for the Ueart.
t is effective, agreeable, and above all, SAFE.
