FRIDAY, SEIT. 3, 1897.
“W e do not care to be known as a
saeak,” says the Telephone-Register.
Then take a little of our advice and
try to keep somewhere in sight of
the truth in making statements, and
the necessity of seeking back door
exit will become less frequent.
Whenever you feel tempted again to
reiterate that old falsehood about the
popocratic officials having saved
<1800 to the people, when in fact
they are suing and trying to save it
from the people, just remember the
disgrace that is sure to follow when
the truth is shown up.
is a regular asylum for damaged
political orphans, by the way. A
word about Cleveland.
It is not j
true that the republicans adopted I
him or his financial policy.
It is ,
true, though, that the democratic
party nominated and elected him
and vouched for his administration.
Along with him it elected the con
gress that passed the infamous Wil
son tariff measure that brought the
country to the verge of ruin. This
was the part of Clevelandism that
did most to increase pauper expens
es. "Unionist” may be able to
shift the responsibility for the legis
lative holdup in his own mind, but
he will scarcely be able to fool even
a popocrat with such arguments as
he employs. The plain fact stands
out that everj’ popocratic member
refused to take the oath of office.
They succeeded in corrupting three
or four other members elected as
republicans, und thus prevented the
latter from organizing the house.
Neither The Reporter nor any other
republican paper that we know of
endorsed the holdup. The defeat
of Senator Mitchell was one of the
incidents that some lamented more
than others, but it was only one of
the objects of the popocratic holdup.
------------- ► • o--------------
G overnor R ogers of Washington
does not believe the reports from
Kansas and other states that the
farmers are paying off their mort
gages. This seems like a singular
case of obtuseness. The governor
certainly will not refuse to believe
Bank Commissioner Briedenthal,
chairman of the state central com
mittee of his own party. Here is
what he says : “Kansas farmers now
have a chance to liquidate the mort
gages on their homes, and they pro
pose to do it. They can pay off their
mortgages with this year’s crop and
still have money. A Kansas farmer
free from debt is the most independ
ent man on earth. Tf he does not
have interest to meet or a mortgage
to pay, the year is never so bad but
what he can make a living. Then
when he strikes a crop like this, he
is in clover. In 1890 the mortgage
indebtedness of Kansas was, in round
numbers, 1243,000,000. Last Jan
uary it aggregated about 175,000,000.
Next January it will be reduced to
<40,000,000 and perhaps much lower.
Reports from all the states and pri
vate banks in June showed deposits
aggregating <18,000,000, only <500,-
000 below the year 1892, which holds
the record. The indications are that
the returns in October, when the
next statement will be called, will
show an aggregate of <25,000,000 de
posits. An increase of <7,000,000 in
three months will be phenomenal.
We will have money to burn. I have
received word from twenty different
bankers in the state saying their de
posits had doubled since the June
statement. A general kick is coming
from all sections against that pro
vision of the new law which prevents
banks from lending more than four
times the amount of their capital
stock and surplus. Little banks with
<5 ,000 capital stock report deposits
of from 960,000 to <75,000. Under
the law a bank of this size cun only
loan <20,000. The bankers are com
plaining. Their vaults are groaning
and almost ready to burst, and they
are aching to get all of the money
out where it can earn something.
But they can't do it unless they in
crease their capital or surplus.”
T he irresponsible who signs him
self "Unionist” comes back at The
Reporter in last week’s popocratic
organ. There are one or two of his
supposed points that we care to
notice. He says that in character
izing Judge Galloway's udministra
tion as "the most profligate and ex
travagant in the history of the
county” we make Commissioners
Perry. Kingery ami Henderson ap
pear us nonentities. It requires the
judge und one commissioner to eon
stitute u majority of the board.
Galloway ami Perry wore a “ma
jority” during the first two years of
Gullowav s term, uml it was during
this peril*! that the worst record was
ntude. Newspaper criticism, chiefly
on the part of The Reporter, had the
effect of culling a halt in some of the
proceedings, though Perry served
during the entire four years of Gal
lowav'a term. An example of Perry's
thrifliaess was brought to light in
the practice of charging mileage at
teu cents a mile for attending meet
ings of the board, waiting for the
1U o'clock train to bring him down. >
and then charging for a full day s
service.
As "Unionist” says of
Cleveland, Perry became a political
orphan after his service on the board,
the unionists have adopted him and
he is one of them. That union party
CURRENT NOTE f AND COMMENT.
There are good judges who believe
that Alabama is to be the greatest
iron center in the world. That will
be only one of the new South’s great
distinctions.
The second largest nugget of gold
ever found in California is just re
ported from Trinity county. It is
worth <42,000, and Klondike is in
vited to produce its biggest nugget
for comparison.
An English paper says the advance
in wheat is “an unmerited stroke of
good luck for President McKinley’s
government” and then abuses the
new tariff law. The advance in
wheat may be luck, but the new
tariff is good management, and
means a treasury surplus on our side
of the Atlantic.
The resumption of work and the
advance of wages which are reported
from various parts of the country re
call the flush times which began with
1879. In that year the country
entered on a period of the greatest
industrial activity which it had ever
known, but there is a probability
that a repetition of those conditions
is coming to hand.
The Atlanta Journal is raging
mad at the president for visiting the
tomb of John Brown, whom .that
paper calls a “desperate villain” and
a “depraved law-breaker.” This is
rather violent 'language to apply to
the hero of Harper’s Ferry nearly
forty years after his execution. In
the turmoil of politics John Brown
has been forgotten in the north in
recent years, but in Georgia at least
his soul seems to be marching on.
It looks as though “Old Pros” had
struck Clatskanie once more, and all
because the Dingley law was in
force. Shingles are selling at <1.0(1
per thousand on the dock. A gen
tleman bought 230,000 Sat urday pay
ing <1.00 per thousand. While the
Wilson law was in force they sold
here as low as 65 and 70 cents.—
