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

the Times-lndependi nt wouhl get a

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.

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
