REVIEW OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE
FISCAL YEAR JUST CLOSED,
THE DEFICIT IS $43,250,000
I excess of Expenditure Over Receipt
Since Jane 80, 1893, 8113,250,000
Available Cash Balance on Hand
8195,000,000 Receipts for
the Tear Greater and Ex
penditures Less,
Washington, July 2. The treasury,
deficit tor the fiscal year just closed is
found by to-day's debt statement to be
approximately $43,350,000. This added
to last year's deficit of neaaly $70,000,
000 makes the excess of expenditures
'ever receipts since June 30, 1S93, about
r $113,250,000. The total receipts of the
government this fiscal year, exclusive
of postal revenues, amount to nearly
$313,000,000, and the expenditures to
$356,350,000, of which pensions took
$141,391,523. Last year the aggregate
receipts, exclusive of postal revenues,
were 8297,722,019, and the expendi
tures 8267,525,279. The receipts this
year, therefore, were 815,278,000 great
er than last and the expenditures about
$11,275,000 less. The postal service
- deficit is about $11,000,000, which is
considerably in excess of that of any
recent year.
The internal revenue department of
the government has contributed this
.year to the receipts nearly $143,000,000,
as against a little more than $147,000.
O00 last year. The customs this year
makes a better showing than last by
about $21,000,000. Last year the re
ceipts from this source amounted to
nearly $132,000,000 and this year they
approximate $1:3,000,000. Of this
amount sugar contributed about $17,
350,000. The debt statement shows an avail
able cash balance of about $195,000,000,
-of which about $107,500,000 is gold re
serve. This reserve includes payment
in full for the last bond issue, but the
statement shows a counter debt charge
of only $31,157,700 in bonds, or one
f half of the whole amount issued.
jf In explanation of this seeming error,
it is said the formal transfer of the
T.nnrinn Vinlf nf tii bonds has not vet
V been made. The expenditures for July
will be exceptionally heavy. Pensions
, ad interest alone are expected to
amount to $20,000,000
During the fiscal year the number of
national banks in existence , has de
creased from 3,775 to 2,722.
Forty-one national banks have been
organized during the year; sixty have
gone into voluntary liquidation, and
thirty-six have been placed in the
hands of receivers.
The national bank circulation has
increased $4,337,791, from $207,353,244
on July 1, 1894, to $211,691,035 July 1,
1895. From July 18, 1894, to May 7,
1895, the nearest dates to the year ob
tainable, the loans and discounts of
national banks have increased, from
$1,933,589,352 to $1,970,604,445, or about
843,000,000. During the same time in
dividual deposits have increased from
$1,667,801,200 to $1,690,961,299 or about
$13,000,000. The lawful money reserve
held by banks shows a heavy increase
from $364,105,757 to $428,931,970, or
nearly $75,000,000.
WANT SHAW'S GARDEN.
Suits to Recover Property Valued at Mil
lions in St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., July 2. Suits to re
cover property valued at several mil
lion dollars, including probably two
thirds of the ground now occupied by
Shaw's botanical garden, eight sec
tions of land lying along Stringtown
road,' between it and South Side park
and extending through Tower Grove
park, in St. Louis, and twelve sections
of land, comprising nearly one-half of
Franklin county, will soon be filed in
the) circuit court of this city. The
prospective litigants are the nine heirs

Pleading for Bolln.
Omaha, Neb., July 2. There is much
discussion in Omaha as to whether or
not defaulting Treasurer Henry Bolln
shall be prosecuted. The record shows
that at least $25,000 of city funds were
missing when Bolln was deposed. As
this was made good by bondsmen and
the city lost nothing, some were for
letting Bolln escape further punish
ment. Acting City Attorney Cornish
has created a sensation by writing a
letter to the mayor advising him not
to further prosecute Bolln. No steps
have yet been taken to arrest Bolln.
If one warrant is ivsued, many others
must be, for many politicians are

Mrs. Stanford Wins.
San Francisco, July 2. The suit of
the United States government against
Mrs. Leland Stanford and the Stanford
estate for $15,000,000, was virtually de
cided against the government and it is
is the general understanding that the
Stanford millions are safe and that
Stanford university will no longer be
hlj danger of being closed for lack of
f4nds. The decision was rendered by
liSfted States circuit J udge Ross sus
taining the demurrer of Mrs. Stanford.
The suit was to recover the millions on
account of Central Pacific railroad
debts.

Chicago, July 2. A gasoline stove

Brown, l34lltVellington avenue, caus

aged 20, and the fatal injuring of her
TIN MINING.
The Industry In the United States Not
Frofltable An Expert's Opinion.
Washington, July 2. In an extend
ed report on the subject of the occur
rence and production of tin through
out the world, C. M. Rolker, a special
agent of the geological survey, dis
cusses the tin situation in the United
States, saying: "No tin is being pro
duced in the United States and the
tin occurrences of this country are so
far only of geological or mineralogi
cal interest, with indications of pros
pective values in a few instances. Tin
occurs at Winslow, Me., in the form
of cassiterite. It was noticed as
early as 1869 and was worked to a
depth of 100 feet before being aban
doned. Similar ore occurs in New
Hampshire. A few crystals have been
found in Massachusetts and Connecti
cut The Martha Cash tin mines, situ
ated on the western slope of the Blue
Ridge in Virginia, are promising in
appearance and have been well opened
up, but the property is in litigation
and will not produce until these diffi
culties are settled. Tin was discov
ered in 1886 near King's Mountain,
North Carolina. It occurs in the de
composed greison and pyrite in slates,
and offers as legitimate a field for tin
prospecting as do the Black Hills in
Dakota. In Alabama the tin occurs
in grains through disseminated
gneiss ledges. Mines have been"
worked in Clay county, but have not
paid f o far. A few crystals of cassiter
ite have been found in Texas, but the
country is practically unexplored. A
tin discovery is reported from Colorado,
but little is thought of it. Float or
stream tin has been found in small
quantities in Idaho and Montana.
Efforts at mining tin have been made
in Wyoming, but have resulted un
favorably. The value of the Harvey's
Peak and other Black Hills mines in
South Dakota has not yet been demon
strated. They have not been accurate
ly tested as yet, and their management
has met with many checks. They are
now in the hands of a receiver. A
little tin has been found in Northern
California, but the mines in San Ber
nardino county in the South are the
only ones of value. Prior to 1892,
291,134 pounds of metallic tin were est
tracted from these. No work is n&vf
being done."
LEO'S WILL HIS LAW.
Archbishop Kenrick Makes No Objection
to His Removal by Rome.
St. Louis, Ma, July 2. It became
known to-day tnat Archbishop Kain
notified Archbishop Kenrick last Wed
nesday that he was to be succeeded by
the former and translated to another
diocese.
The news seemed to cause Arch
bishop Kenrick no surprise and when
the reading was concluded, he said:
"This is a very proper step. I shall
place no obstacles in your way, but
shall, without delay, make out deeds
transferring to you the church prop
erty which I now hold." ,.
This was a great relief to Arch
bishop Kain, who was doubtful how
his aged predecessor would receive the
news.
Sunday Saloon Closing; in Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The or
der requiring saloons to close on Sun
day, made through Chief of Police
Erwin by Police Commissioners Shelley
and Fyke, was not unanimously obeyed
yesterday. While strangers and ex
cursionists ranted around in a thirsty
and angry mood, those who knew the
ropes did not go unslaked or unfilled.
The results of the initial day of Sun
day closing were that several saloon
men braved the mandate; three arrests
were made and seven are on the chiefs
little list; 1 he drug stores turned a
pretty penny; Frank Jones' place was
robbed; the disreputable houses sold
oceans of beer at $1 a bottle; the Kan
sas City, Kan., jointists did the busi
ness of their lives; several hundred
sore saloon men and a stiff clash of
authority between Police Judge Jone
and Chief of Police Irwin.
A Murderer Ejected as a Tramp.
Fort Scott, Kan., July, 2. Henry
Wright, the negro who murdered his
wife with an ax at Nevada, Mo.,
Saturday, slept in the packing house
of the Hart Pioneer nurseries
six miles south of here yesterday
and was ejected as a tramp by the
workmen. City Marshal Atkinson and
Deputy Sheriff Ewing, of Nevada, with
the Fort Scott officers and a posse ol
citizens left last night in search of him,
but have been unable to find him.
They are certain he is in hiding in the
neighborhood and a posse is still scour
ing the country.
Militiamen In St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., July 2. The inter
state drill and encampment under the
auspices of the fair association, opened
to-day with crack military companies
present from all parts of the country.
The greater part of the day was spent
by the militiamen in getting settled,
but by 2 o'clock every company took
part in the parade through the busi
ness part of the town. Governor Stone
and others reviewed it from the Plant
ers' hotel balcony.
New Southern Industries.
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 2 The
Tradesman has issued its quarterly re
port of new industries established or
incorporated in the Southern states
fjr the quarter ending June 30.
The total number reported is 664, as
against 638 for the second quarter oi
1894, 654 for the same peried in 1893
and 779 for 1892, showing that the in
dustrial development of the South is
being well maintained.
Professor Canfleld's New Place.
Columbus, Ohio, July 2 Professor
James H. Canfleld was to-day installed
as president of the Ohio state univers
ity at Columbus. He came from the
university of Nebraska and prior to
that service had been with the uni
versity of Kansas. He is a graduate
of Williams college and a native 0
New England.
Two Western Military Cadets Dropped.
West Tqint, July 2. Easton R. Gib
son of Missouri and Charles Doster of
Kansas were among the cadets found
deficient in their studies and ordered
dismissed from the military Academy.
POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
Reason will convert people, but
abuse never wilL Some of our reform
writers should keep this fact in mind.
Do not lose your wits in the silver
boom. Other issues of vast importance
need your consideration, also. Inde
pendent The democrats must disabuse their
minds of the idea that populists will
ever march to the ballot box under the
banner of the' democratic party. This
can never be. Marshall (Mo.) People's
Record.
The silver democrats at their meet
ing in Fort Worth recently urged the
populists to help them. The silver
demos will have to come to the popu
lists, yet. Comanche (Tex.) Pioneer
Exporient. News comes from Texas that the
grand old fraudulent party, formerly
known as the democratic party, has
split wide open and thousands of free
silverites are actually joining the
cranky populists; and still the people's
party Is dying.
A great big able bodied populist
boom is rising while an intense gloom
settles over the political" horizon of the
old plutocratic twins. Seven million
populist votes next year is a very con
servative estimate of party strength.
Chicago Express.
Free silver democrats should come
into the ranks of the populists, the
only true, genuine, free coinage party.
They will never get anything out of
the democratic party,' as the action of
the last congress fully demonstrates.
Reynolds (Ga.) Banner-Watchman.
Now when Gen. Weaver engages in
the Iowa campaign with his well
known ability and old time energy and
vigor; it will put an end to all insinua
tions that there is any disloyalty on
his part, or abandonment of the funda
mental, principles of the party. Chi
cago Express.
Bullion ists say they have no faith
in the fiat of the government. If this
and other governments should with
draw their flat from gold, in less than
twelve months a $20 gold piece would
not exchange for a silver dollar even
up. It's monetary functions is all that
makes it so valuable. Iowa Farmer's
Tribune.
The question of public control of
the banks is a coming issue. It can't
be kept down. The legislature of
every state will be asked to require
banks to give security for deposits.
This will be a temporary relief until
such time as the government provides
a safe banking system, and it is some
thing that can be secured without
awaiting the tedious action of con
gress. Chicago Express.
-- The democratic party will be un
able to go before the country in 1896
as a 16 to 1 party, for all its leaders,
great newspapers and capitalists are
pledged against it If the silver ele
ment undertakes to adhere to the
name "democratic party" only '"con
fusion confounded" will be the result
among the voters; thus thrusting vic
tory upon single standard democrats.
Marshall (Mo.) People's Record.
The report of the chief gold mine
at Leadville is out and shows that each
dollar's worth cost 23 cents to mine it
By the government placing its stamp
on the metal these mine owners rake
in 77 cents on every dollar. "You can't
legislate money into men's pockets,"
you know. The income tax decision
prevents legislating the money out of
the pockets of those few who had it
legislated into their pockets. The peo
ple should sow some legislation if they
expect to reap. People's Party Post
The Ohio prohibition state conven
tion adopted a financial plank as fol
lows: "The money of the country
should be of full legal tender, Issued
directly to the people on ample secur
ity in such quantities as the people may
demand and to all at a uniform rate of
interest To this end the government
should establish real national banks as
it does post offices, wherever the con
venience of the people demands. Until
such a financial system can be estab
lished we favor free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of
16 to 1 as temporary relief."
The republican and democratic na
tional platforms will again be the same
old straddle that will mean the "gold
standard" in the east and "free silver"
in the west and south. The managers
of these old parties will send out hun
dreds of hired orators, some of whom
will be found talking free silver and
others the gold standard; flood the
country with literature that will mean
free silver In the west and south and
gold standard in the east They did
this in the last national campaign and
they will do so again. That Ohio plat
form of the republican party is a fair
indication of this fact Paola (Kan.)
Times.
What Does This Mean?
Every once in a while one runs across
a paragraph like this, even in reform
papers:
"It is evident, however, that when
ever the English creditor wants money
and begins to disgorge American se
curities, panic times are inevitable
here. Such a crisis as that of 1893 is
capable of reproduction at any time."
What does this mean? The English
creditor cannot force us to redeem
these securities before they are due,
can he? And he certainly cannot force
people to buy, unless they want to,
can he? Rats!! The solution is two
conspirators, one on each side of the
Atlantic ocean.
Profits of a Trust.
While Senator Brice is keeping a
pretty close eye on Ohio politics he
does not forget to make a little money
as the sparks fly upward. Some months
ago efforts were made to secure agree
ments between the Tennessee Coal
Iron Co. and some of its rivals in the
trade, and, an understanding being
reached, the tip was given to certain
insiders that the stock was going up, to
40. Inasmuch as it stood them at 9,"
there was plenty of leeway for profits.
Recently the stock touched 39. Sena
tor Brice was In the deal, and it la
said his wlnuings were as high as $500,

LEARN A LESSON.
Politicians in the Old Parties Have No In
tentlon of Leaving- Their Party for Sil
ver's Sake.
There have been a small number of
populists who, since this silver move
ment started, wanted our party to drop
its "isms" and go in with the silver
men on that issue alone. Such popu
lists might learn a lesson from the re'
publican and democratic silver men
who recently met at Memphis. . The
proposition of Mr. Sibley and his
friends that silver men of all parties
should forsake their former party af
filiations and unite upon the silver
question in a great silver party was re
jected by the democratic and repub
lican delegates. They said their re
spective parties had other issues to
fight for that they could not abandon
for this question alone, and they would
make their fight in their respective
parties. .
Now, if this is a consistent position
for republicans and democrats, it is
much more consistent for populists.
Besides, if they are going to make
their fight in their respective parties
where do our populist friends propose
to go in order to make silver the only
issue, or even the leading issue next
year? Is it not about time to stop this
nonsense about silver as a single issue,
and push forward our whole line of
battle as already formed?
There are those who say we must
fight where we find an enemy, and
that plutocracy has determined that
free silver alone shall be the great is
sue of the next campaign. In this
they are simply mistaken. There is
no proposition in our platform that
plutocracy so much fears as the pub
lic ownership of public utilities, the
abolition of land monopoly and the
establishment of government banks;
and upon no other line will we find the
enemy stronger intrenched. We can
not draw in our lines if we would. The
fight is on and it must proceed to a
finish. A contraction of our lines
would be an abandonment of the field
and the surrender of advantages that
it would require years to regain. To

AX VS. REVOLVER.
fwo Missouri Women Meet, With Fatal
Effect on One.
Aurora, Mo., June 26. Mrs. John
Henson, who resides at the zinc mines,
got an idea into her head that Mrs.
John Walliver, a widow, was after the
affections of her husband. Immediate
ly she got an ax, and proceeded to
Mrs. Walliver's to make mince meat of
her. The house was locked and Mrs.
Henson began chopping in the window.
Mrs. Walliver, who was inside, then
got a 44-caliber navy revolver and fired
twice. The first shot cut the handle of
Mrs. Benson's ax, and the next hit
that lady in the lip, ranged across and
shattered the right cheekbone, and
lodged in the back of the neck. Mrs.
Henson cannot live. Mrs. Walliver

The Baltimore Plan,
now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting
universal attention because it is based on the evident fact that
the currency and banking systems of the country must be re
formed. But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It gives the associated
banks the power to expand the currency and relieve the country.
It also gives them the power to contract it at will and create
universal distress for their own private gain.
It puts the credit of the government behind every bank note.
It donates all but half of one per cent of the profit on the note
issue to the banks, and it leaves plenty of opportunities for a
Napoleon of Finance to wreck a bank and leave the government
to pay the notes.
It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that
the several states will allow, and affords no relief to farmers and
business men of moderate capital.
Contrast with this
The. Hill Banking System.
In "Money Found," an exceedingly valuable and instructive
book published by Charles H. Kerr & Company of Chicago, and
for sale at the office of this paper at 25 cents, Hon. Thos. E.
Hill proposes that the government open its own bank in every
large town or county seat in the United States, pay 3 per cent
on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to check without
interest, and loan money at the -uniform rate of 4 per cent to
every one offering security worth double the amount of the loan.
This plan is not an expense to the government, but a source of
large revenue.
It secures the government amply, which the Baltimore plan
does not. . '
It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Bal
timore plan does not.
It protects not only note-holders but depositors, who are un
secured now and under the Baltimore plan would be still
worse off.
In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the bankers,
the Hill Banking System is in the interest of the people.
Consider them both, and ask your congressman to vote for the
ttie you believe in.

words and high order of music"
Ths Farm Field and Fireside says; "It has
been left to Mr. George Howard Gibson to Intro
duce a nsw tons Into ths songs of the party, and
to write a aeries of patriotie songs which are
hardly surpassed by any In our literature for
loftiness of motive and real merit from a literary
point of view, while at the same time they are not
at all la,ckng to ths musical quality which must
necessarily be present before any song touches
the chord of popularity. They are remarkable
for their fervid patriotism and broad humanity.
In fact, if ths People's party rises to tbs patriotie
level of these songs, ws havs little doubt of its
ultimate success as a party. Ths songs strike
the whole octave of human sympathy. Spark
ling humor, keen wit and biting sarcasm, aa well
as the loftier patriotie themes, are touched la
turn by ths talented author."
