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.— Chief.
