Much to the regret of every one,
the commercial agencies continue
to report business anything but en
couraging. It is perhaps political
capital for the republican party that
uch is true, yet at the same time

more jubilant if business in all

Great is congress. It wants to
convict ex-Minister Stevens. It is
hunting eggs in birds' nests more
than a vear old. But this seems to
amuse the class of statesmen now on

Stevens is not on trial. It is the
democratic administration that is
the culprit.
Wisconsin is one of the states
which has too many soldiers of the
state guard variety. By an act of
the last legislature the number of
companies of infantry in the state
were limited to forty companies. A
committee of national guard officers
inspected the various organizations
and decided that Company A, of
Manitomoc, which claims to be the
oldest company in the, state, was the
one to be mustered out.
Bland's bill for the coinage of
the silver seignorage in the treasury
of the federal government comes up
for discussion to-day in the lower
house. It is said that many
speeches will be made upon the sub

house, and should it succeed in
getting through the senate and be
signed by the president, it will give
the present craze for fiatism a blow
from which it will not recover for

Labor organizations have a right
"to strike" whenever they feel im
posed upon. But the wisest among
them can see the necessity, if threat
ened changes in the laws are made,
of reducing the cost of al! classes of
goods, to compete with the cheap
foreign manufacturer. It is as cer
tain as the sun rises that the wages
of American laborers of all classes
must be reduced, and no strike will
remedy it. They can easily see that

still far from confpkte balletia
shows that during the census dec
ade a debt of ?9,466,107,081 was in
curred, represented by 0,957,113
mortgages. Ut this dent d .74 per
cent was on acre tracts and 62.26
on lots. These figures are liable to
be misleading, however, for the rea
estate mortgage debt Jan. 1, 1890
in these states was only 4,935,455,
896, of which 34.17 per cent was on
acre tracts and 6o.83 per cent on
lots. The per capita debt in those
states varied from 13 in Ar
kansas to $268 in New York. II
linois is an even S100. to $51 in In
diana. The rate in Georgia is onlv
S15 per capita and in Minnesota
$152, California 200 and Colorado
206. From this it will be seen
that a high percentage of mortgage
indebtedness is not evidence or d
pression, for the states showing a
high rate were vary prosperous fou
years ago.
Perhaps the most interesting fea
ture of this bulletin is the deduc
tions from the especially thorough
investigations made in 102 counties
in different parts of the country
selected so as to serve as fairly rep
resentative. It appears that farm
and family expenses account for
only 1.73 per cent of the mortgages
or less than one in fifty. The oth
ers were for land, stock, iraple
nients or tiie like.
Another interesting geuernliza
tion is that about two-thirds of the
mortgages in amount and more
than that in number are held by
residents of the same state, largely
of the same county. Non-residen
mortgagees are in adecided minority
and it is getting more and more so
all the time, as the thrifty become
"forehanded," as the phrase is. On
the whole the showing of these bul
letins is highly encouraging. It
should be added that the farmers
were more prosperous in 1890 than
