The Independent says The Frontier
Is responsible for Rhody Hayes’ failure
to secure the office of treasurer after he
was appointed by the board. Thanks.
Taxes are as high today with a valu -
ation of $8,144,580 as they were in 1884
with a valuation of only 81,507,008.

Ih 1865 our national debt, less cash in
H the treasury, was 98,074,815,856. After
almost thirty years of republican pro
tective administration this was reduced
down to 9841,586,464, in 1888. This was
a decrease from 9T7 per capita of our
,'y population to only 918.87 last year.
Does this look as if protection had been

The number of idle working men,
v: awaiting congressional action, increases
every day. Even a democratic congress
ought to be able to see and avoid the
danger of adding to the existing distress
by tinkering with the tariff. Governor
Flower hit the bull’s-eye of common
sense when he said: “Let the .tariff
alone; this is no time for experiments.”
Administering, or attempting to ad
, minister, a castigation to Scott and Thi
; Frontier, the Sun says:
And The Frontier upholds Scot)
and his methods of doing business in

In another place in the same issue ii
pours forth many vials of partisan wrath
and says:
Read The Frontier, and what do
. tense does it make for Scott? None.
The Frontier is somewhat at a losi
ij; ?° understand how these strange thingi
can be. How can we uphold Scot
i;h without making a defense for him?

Tonn Caster is after the republican
postmasters throughout the state aud
their heads are falling fast. A change
Is expected in the O’Neill office iu about
a week, and consequently the applicants
are on the anxious seat. Three of the
land offices in tho state are to be abol
ished and consolidated with the office
uearest them. The Ncligh office is to be
discontinued and the work being done
at that office will be done here.
Comparing our exports for tlie tirst |
half of this year with the corresponding
period in the three proceeding years, wo
find that they were $10,000,000 less tlmn
in 1800, $01,000,000 less than in 1891,
and nearly $91,000,000 less than during
the first half of 1892. Our imports, on
the other band, wore $65,000,000 more
this year than during the first half of
1892, making an aggregate trade of
$106,000,000 less in our favor this year
than last.
Tnn remark of Tub Fhontikii two
weeks ago to the effect that the settle
ment committee attempted to "fix” an
expert, called forth three affidavits in
the two alliance organs, the Sun and
Independent, tending to prove that wc
were mistaken. Bethea and Smith
made oath to their innocence, and Ex
pert Stitt also testifies that he is honor
able and acting in good faith. A great
many people will be glad to learn that
this is the case.
Next week we will drive another nail
in Tits Fhontikii lie mill coffin on its
fool statement that the supervisor sys
tem was $50,000 more expensive than
was the commissioner system.—Inde
pendent.
We think it will be so nice when the
Independent is able to make good the
foregoing promise. If Mr. Kautzman
will prudently turn to his files he will
find where The Fhontiek has twice
run his journal to earth on this propo
sition and over-whelmed it with a pre
ponderance of the testimony. But
while he is preparing to "nail the lie”
we will again produce those familiar
figures and hold our breath for his dis
proval. We take for our comparison
the laBt four years of commissioner rule
and the succeeding four years of
supervisor rule:

According to tnese figures, wnicu me
absolutely correct, it will be seen that
we have been yearly paying in taxes
over $50,000 more than we did under the
commissioners.
’Phis poor old bald-headed Newberry
bill has floundered around until it has
finally hung itself in its own stall.
Judge Dundy is now being admonished
by the Chicago $ Northwestern; Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy; Union
Pacific and Missouri Pacific to declare it
a dead duck—unconstitutional and im
material. They set up the following in
substance as a cause of action: That it
was very materially altered from the
original, and after being passed by the
body it wan engrossed in such a manner
that the engrossed bill was radically
different from the one that passed the
house. It went to the senate where it
was again changed, and put upon its
passage without having been read at
large three times. After passing that
body in altogether different form from
what it had passed the house, it was
enrolled, and in the enrolling room
another series of changes were brought
about. It went to the governor and
was signed, but the bill signed was not
the one that had passed either house.
If this child of the demo-pop marriage
should be held unconstutional it will be
their own fault, as some of them could
read and the bill should have been read
three times by all means.—Custer
Leader.

Comptroller Eckels in North Amer
ican Review: “The present financial
depression differs materially from any
that has heretofore occurred in our
history. The strain has been of unpre
cedented length and great severity, but
there has been nothing approaching a
panic, such as characterized other years
under similar circumstances. More
significant is the fact that throughout
it all there has been manifest no unusal
excitement, despite the general distrust
in the stability of our moneyed institu
tions evidenced in every portion of the
country; the daily failure of banks,
national, state and private; of great com
mercial enterprises, trust companies and
corporations and manufacturing estab
lishments. No stronger proof than this
could be had of the vast resourses of the
country aad the available wealth of the
people. It demonstrates that no matter
how bad the outlook there can be no
general bankruptcy and distress as that
of 1837, 1857 and 1873. In all the cir
cumstances surrounding the present
situation it is equally at variance with
other periods of liquidation. It has de
veloped at a time when there is ai>
abundance of agricultural products and
manufactured products on every hand.
Ordinary business in mercantile lines is
up to, and in some trades above, the
standard of the same months in times
of marked prosperity, while the actual
amount of money in circulation per
capita is as great as that of recent years.
Not less worthy of note is it that, in a
majority of the failures that have oo
cured in legitimate lines thus far, the
assets reported of ths failed concerns
have _ been largely in excess of their
liabilities and of such a character as to
cause comment that institutions holding
them should have been forced to sus
pend."
