The story of those thirty months told in a single line is a deficit of $ 130,<>00,000, or an average shortage of §144,000 a day. President McKinley finds, on assuming the duties of his office, surplus of a little more than $100 000,000 in excess of the gold reserve but this has been obtained by the sale of bonds which brought into the treasury 1393,355,286.

He announced that the mis­ sion of the Republican party, again placed in power, was to restore pros­ perity and give employment to labor. The tariff bill prepared for that pur­ pose, he said, would meet alike the wants of the government aDd the people. He said that until he had listened to Mr. Wheeler's remarks he did not believe any Democrat clung to old, decayed and re­ pudiated doctrine of free trade. But he was convinced that a genuine Bourbon Democrat seldom forgot any error he had learned, and never learned anything new. He paralleled the prosperity of the country enjoyed under the McKinley law with the distress produced by the Wilson law. Lnder the McKinley law eleven (stars, he said, were added to the flag. * " What party provided the territory out of which those eleven states were carved?" asked Mr. Wheeler. (Demo­ cratic applause.) "The Democratic party," replied Mr. Hopkins, "the same party which tried to take eleven stars from the flag." (Ap­ plause.) Later, when Mr. Hopkins waB contend­ ing that there was not an enforced idle man in the country under the McKinley law, Mr. Wheeler asked him whether Coxey's army in vad$d Washington under McKinley or Wilson law. "After the advent of the Democrats to power," responded Mr. Hopkins, "after the McKinley law had been paralyzed by the threats of free trade." But if there was such wonderful pros­ perity and all labor was at work, how •were the Republicans so unmercifully de­ feated in 1892?" queried Mr. McGuire (Dem., Cat) "By the false pretenses of the Demo cratic party, retorted the Illinois mem ber, amid the applause of his side. Not a single industry„he declared had prospered under the present tai iff law, unless the "souphonses" established during the panic of 1893 could be called an industry. The chief glory of the bill he predicted, would prove to be its re­ ciprocity features. In conclusion Mr Hopkins prophesied that' an era of pros periiy would begin sixty days after the 1 enactment of the biil. what is true of Iowa is true of Illinois: Itappea - that the ghost that haunts every legislature will hot down--the question of the examination of private banks. It certainly cannot be supposed that, the legislature desires to do an in­ justice to a-hy class of Iowa business, and it may aid in a better understanding of the question if the reasons of those who I ^ere favor, or have favored such bills, are ex­ amined. I -would like to know whers there has been a demand for such bills which has not Originated or been fostered by corporate banks and bankers. A Vare representative may be found, perhaps, who comes from a county where some private banker has unfortunately failed, who demands the" passage of such a bill bu t an examination will disclose that the cry comes generally from our brothers- corporate bankers, or from a bank ex­ aminer who wishes to' enlarge the extent of his territory and his income. These are sponsors for the biennial movement. The private bank is the safest bank. Suck bankers put their all at the mercy of an execution. They personally attend to their business daily--beeause they have hazarded their all and because it is their business. The business is not left to the mercies of men whose interest is but little compared to whole capital in­ volved--overlooked by a perfunctory board. I am a director in three national banks, a partner in two private, and a director in one savings bank, and believe 1 have had a fair chance to judge. Di­ rectors of necessity gloss over their work because they leave the control generally to the more active officers, while the pri­ vate bankers attend to their own busi­ ness. The statistics prove such banks the safest. Then it is the better money making business. The expenses-of run­ ning it are less. It offers better chances for loanfe. The national banking laws or state laws are not adapted to small towns. The corporate bank makes its money on depositors' money, more, and the private banker on his own with less | For Sale by deposits and less liabilities. The nation­ al banker is the commercial banker. The private banker is the personal bank­ er, who loans money, buys and sells land loans on first mortgages, as the national banker cannot, advances sums on corn and grain in warehouse and crib and on cattle in the yard in larger sums than can he or should he whose business is purely Commercial. He is the farmer's banker, who can and generally has to loan from six to twelve months, and not alone for three or four. The national banker incorporates because he thinks the name will pay him better, will bring more outside collections and business, and, owing to the ignorant belief that the government in some way stands good for his deposites in the minds of very many depositors, that he will get greater deposits. The private banker knows intimately, as a rule, his custom­ ers, he exists only in the smaller com­ munities, is known to them, and his resources are as well known to them a« are theirs to him. Show the private banker who does not give bis personal attention to the business. The savings banker thinks of the possible exemptions as to taxes under present law and the sixty days notice that may be given be­ fore withdrawal of deposit, if worse comes. Thus each has its reason for ex­ istence, each has its advantages, each its advocates and each its rights--and one of our rights as private bankers is to have our friends attend to their own business. The more fatal objection to such a proposed bill is that examination does not protect. If it does why do more corporate banks fail than private? Ex­ aminers, as a rule, are as competent as can be obtained, but it is in no sense their fault. The txi miner can find the quantity, but he cannot know the quality of the assets. It is no fault of his. The discovery of thousands of dol­ lars' worth of forged paper in a recently closed corporate bank at Sioux City is a fair example. He can tell whether the assets agree with the books--any clerk can tell that--but what doss he know of the value? Last winter our papers had articles in them, and the legislature was furnished with them, advocating such a bill, by some very competent bank ex­ aminers. Nor can we blame them. An increase of income is desired by every­ one--even a bank examiner. But that is no reason why half the bankers of Iowa should be compelled by law to contribute to their support, .statistics show failures of private banks, and that amination does not prohibit or decrease. failures. If you attach such expenses, you will compel the great majority of private bankers to organize, avoid their whole responsibility, and do most ot their money-earning in the back room as an individual. In 1896 merchants and traders in Iowa failed to the amount of $2,449,320; in 1890 to amount of fl,177,098, and other' commercial in­ dustries to amount of over $4,000,000. These all owed taining it. All baking powderB sold for 25 cents a pound ahd less contain alum. There is surely no econOmy in using these cheap powders. For a pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Price's was shown to be at the World's Fair, go so. much further and gives so much better results, uo doubt ofr its being more economical in the long run, - DEATH BY TORNADO. CHILDREN KILLED IN A DE­ MOLISHED GEORGIA SCHOOL. Are the Best in the Market. Always Give Satisfaction. Bight Bodies Taken from the Wind- wrecked Ruins of an Academy, at Arlington--Many Fatally Injured-- Entire State Ravaged by Hnrricane. Storm in the^Sonth. A cyclone cut a path of death through the little town of Arlington, Ga., Mon­ day. It left eight children dead in the ruins of Arlington Academy. .Many oth­ ers and one of the many teachers will die. Thirty-five children and the teachers went down in the "wreck. Men who were re­ moving the ruins became sick at heart. ' The horror came upon the town at 8:30 in the morning and withoilt a warning. There* was a sudden roar/which passed away as quickly as it came, and the har­ vest of death had been reaped. No larger than a bed blanket was the cloud in which the cyclone was hid. It rushed down from the northwest, missed the business section by a bare block, tore through the residences of W-. D. Cow-dry and Dr. W. E. Satinders, demolished them and then took the little academy ami twisted it into fragments. Luckily ijobody was in .either of the' two residences, and so the death list is confined to the academy pupils. Persons who heard and saw the death cloud were startled. Nobody dreamed, however, that it had caused a horror un­ til a scream came from the direction of the academy. The town is a little one, and if did not take long for the news to spread that there was a disaster.' Men left their work and women their homes. Nearly everybody had a child in the school, ayd vheu the white-faced men and weeping and screaming women saw what had hap­ pened the scene was heartrending. Chil­ dren, wounded and bleeding and unable to Walk, were creeping and crawling and staggering out from under the Wrecked building. Others, alive but helplessly fast­ ened down by broken beams and flooring, were piteously pleading for assistance, while others^ silent and mangled, told a tale all too terrible for the parents who TARIFF DEBATE BEGUN. Mr. Dingier Ezplaina Hia Bill and Gen. Wheeler Denounces It. , The first^day of the tariff debate in the House was rather tame, from both a spec tacular and an oratorical standpoint. The opening of the debate was delayed over two hours by the full reading of the bill of 162 pages, and this, to begin with, had a somewhat depressing influence. Only four speeches were made jit the day ses­ sion. Mr. Dingley, the chairman of the \yals and Means Committee, opened in an hohr's^ speech for the majority. "In re­ vising the tariff," he said, "the committee has endeavored to discard mere theories and frame a practical remedy, at least in part, for the ills which have for so many months overshadowed the country. "It is a condition, and not a theory, which confronts us. Our problem is to provide adequate revenue from duties .on imports to carry on the government, and imposing duties to secure this result so to adjust them as to secure to our own people the production and manufacture of such articles as we can produce or make for ourselves without natural disadvantage, and thus provide more abundant opportu­ nities for our labor. No economic policy -will prove a'* success unless it shall in some manner contribute to opening up employment to the masses of our people at good wages. When this is accomplish­ ed, and thus the purchasing power of the masses restored, then, and not until then, will prices cease to feel the depressing effect of underconsumption and the pros­ perity of dui* people Vl»e to the standard o f 1 8 9 2 . " . ' , - f r : In closing Mr. Diirgley said: > \ It must; be obvious from any potat of view that prompt- action, by the two houses of Congress is, indispensable to secure the rev­ enue which the impending bill is intended to yield. ; The exigency is an unusual one. The people, without regard to party affilia­ tions. are asking for action. Business awaits our. 'final decision. With this great ques­ tion of adequate revenue to carry on the government settled favorably by such art ad­ justment of duties as will restore <4o our own people what lias been surrendered to others djlrlng the last four years, with re­ stored confidence in the future, there is rea­ son to believe that gradually and surely there will come back to us the great pros­ perity which we enjoyed in the decade prior to 1893, and which the greatest of living English statisticians so strikingly eulogized when lie said in 1892 that "it would be im­ possible to fiuO_ia.JtLatorv any parallel to the AT YOUR DOOR.
