The Kearney New Era Standard conies out with an article under the caption of “Not Enough Gold”. It recites figure* to prove its statements and the following are the exact figures given: “The private indebtedness of the United States amount* to more than $22, 000,000,000. The public debt—that ia, national, Slate, county, city and corporation* amount to X20,000,000,000; total $42,000, 0o0,000. The annual interest on this sum i» $42,940,000,000.” In this case the Standard would have its readers believe that the interest annually on this debt would amount to $940,u0o,000 more than the principal. The Standard says Unit this is a terriable condition of affair* and suggests only one way out of the diuluma, and tiiat is for '.lie government to issue at least, $:>n per ll there is uny p other way out lie wishes some of his republican friends to suggest it. Now if tlie Standard wilt cxplaiu to our sati f.ieti'iii how it i* that the interest m 7 pel cent can amount to so much more than the principal auiruaily, “in, then we will give it up, hut until then we will give the following example: l>o away with free tiade and again adopt the Me lt iulet taiitt system and protect the American Industrie* thereby fur lushing employment to the working itteu and a maiket for our pioducw. | This will eua'de the farmer* to pay tlndr »nbs*i ipiiout to this patter, •at in llo aggicgate pi the amount | of #1IM» ttu I’neu |v editor will I pay the a otic *<• hi* bull,ting v u I tractor sod tin butldiug ••urtracPd ' will pit Iris employee*, 1 he t in 1 yl -less aid than go and pay tbvir no at lull tt,tl die luitvle l will |wi 1 the same in -net to the farmer lot h -gs. coin ml tattle, \fy«r this r**r»* tp>roiivd dollars baa g"bv sex at | at r*>t»n I* not r*.,l 1 several thousand! dollars oi tins vrntrmn*i* ib*lebte*t-1 nets, llit'ii the farmer will doubtless pay his tax** with il ami the same will be appropriated to the cilv, county, state mid national fund* ac cording to the levies made and pro vided, and then who kuowu hut what the Times-lndependi nt wouhl get a share of that, portion whiali wc.t to the county general fund as payment for printing Russian thistle notices, thereby enabling the Tiuiaw editor to liijuidate a grocery hill or build s house and pay off his contractor. You see that a very little money will pay off a great many thousand dollars worth of debts. Then why all this talk about not having money enough to do the business of the eouutryon. The fact is there is but vary little business being done. Tbe money is in tbe vaults and un der the free trade system of govern ment the cspitalists will not put it out. Those who have ventured to tio business have almost invarihly gone to the wall, and have uothing left with which to continue. VVe have not heard from any one yet oa tbe subject of build a poor k,....... a.,.,... /<...•*% nM/1 ikaeake furnishing a home aud employment for the poor. These columns are open for the discussion of the ijaes lion. We notice that our county Super visors are taking the matter of erecting a house on the eounty poor faun under consideration and have ordered the clerk to cor respond with other county officers where the poor house system has been in operation. We believe this to be a step in the right direetioo It is always best to take the advise of those having find experience. sit pan vi hokh rsociisunioa.
