THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
H Cnrd HlmMlf of ri Stomach
Tniblt. by Gattln Dwa to First
A man of large affairs in one of our
Imminent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be
gan to pay nature's tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought anoui
a nervous irritability making it im
isossible to apply himself to his daily
business and finally deranging the
jrfdneys and heart
In his own words he says: "I con
sulted one physician after another and
&ch one seemed to understand my
case, but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my for
me digestion, appetite and vigor. For
two years I went from pillar to post,
from one sanitarium to another, I
gave up smoking, I quit coffee and
even renounced my daily glass or two
of beer, but without any marked im
provement. "Friends had often advised me to
try a well known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsi '. Tablets, and I had
often perused the newspaper adver
tisements of the remedy, but never
took any stock in advertised medicines
or could believe a fifty-cent patent
r.edicine would touch my case.
"To make a long story short I final
ly bought a couple of packages at the
ttarest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc
casionally a tablet between meals,
jwhen I felt any feeling of nausea or
discontent
"I was surprised at the end of the
Erst week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
fcealth and before the two packages
were gone I was certain that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure
completely and they did not disap
point me. I can eat and sleep and en
3oy my coffee and cigar and no one
would suppose I had ever known the
terrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy ask
ing for information as to what the
tablets contained and they replied that
the principal ingredients were aseptic
pepsin (government test) ,malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which
digest, food regardless of the condition
of the stomach."
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements contained in Stu
art's DvsDeDsia Tablets will digest tne
fcod. eive the overworked stomach a
chance to recuperate and the nerves
and whole system receive the nour
ishment which can only come irom
food; stimulants and nerve tonics never
give real strength, they give a ficti
tious strength, invariably followed by
reaction. Every drop of blood, every
nerve and tissue is manufactured from
our daily food, and if you can insure
iU prompt action and complete diges
tion bv the regular use of so good and
Kholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, you will nave no need
of nerve tonics and sanitariums.
Althoueh Stuart's Dysoensia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years yet probaniy every druggist in
ih(? United States. Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trou
ble.
BANK CONDITION FALSIFIED
Maay Mam Mara ioapioiona feat Fact ara

Fiiiii.of Independent; There seems
to be no Improvement in the New York
stock gambling arena. Tne neaa-nnes
in the daily press continue each week
to announce unsatisfactory bank
statements.
It is difficult to find grounds for be
lief that these reports of the New
?vnrk r.learine house are honest state
ments of actual conditions. On the
contrary, there is ample cause for sus
picion, at least, that the actual state
lof the clearing house banks is covered
Th lowest amount of loans and de
posits, since February 28, was on June
13. Between tnese iwo aaies mere
hrna a decrease in loans of $46,834,300
end a loss of deposits of $69,476,700 as
hown by the weekly statements oi tne
Clearing house. On last Saturday,
August 29, the statements, if true,
Show that since June 13 the clearing
hanks have increased loans $19,-
&89,500 and recovered of lost deposits
$32,994,200. This reduces the stated de
of loans in six months, ending
August 29, to $27,044,800 and loss of
Seposits to $36,0S2,5UU. At tne same
time there is said to be an increase,
fluring the six months, of surplus from
k qci ortft to $20,677,920. Notwith
standing this reported increase of
loans, recovery of deposits, ana tne
feubstantial increase or. -we surplus,
there has not been the slightest im
provement in the stock markets, or
any relief whatever of the financial
situation In Wall street
Last Saturday's prsa rp ports were
enly a repetition of the reports each
week for many weeks, as summed up
in the head-lines, "Selling on Another
Poor Bank Statement."
There is a strange difference be
tween the reports of the New York
rational banks as made to the comp
troller of the currency and the state
ments of the New York clearing house.
It is not possible to make a correct
comparison because all oi tne national
banks are not members of the clear
ing house, and because banks that
are not national banks are included in
the clearing house reports. But it may
not be without profit to compare the
reports of the clearing house for the
time covered by the last abstract oi
the comptroller. This abstract covers
the time between April y ana June v.
The nearest aDDroximation in tne
clearing house reports is the time be
tween April 11 and June 16.
Tfot.ween these dates the New xorn
national hanks reDorted to the comp
troller that they had decreased their
loans $10,687,620 and lost of their de
posits $15,242,569, while the clearing
house statements show about one-nau
million increase of loans and $2,000,
000 increase in deposits. It is not easy
to figure out just how this can be so,
or why it should be so. The govern
ment rienosit loans, amounting on Sat
urday last to $37,281,900, in the na
tional banks that are members oi tne
clearing house, ought to put these
hanks in a better condition to mane
loans or to make a showing of depos
its than the state banks, but accord
in (f to thA statements it is not so.
When it is remembered also that a
inrA nart. of the national banks are
members of the clearing house, it ap-
npars rather sineular that, while tne
aggregate of national banks is decreas
ing loans and losing aeposus, tue
flfiarine house should be reporting an
increase of loans and deposits.
it is imnossible to verify tne state
ments of private banks, and we are
left to make conclusions upon what
they are pleased to disclose, and such
other knowledge as we may pick up.
It has been disclosed that national
hanks are able, bv their bookkeeping,
to make a showing of conditions quite
at variance with the actual tacts, ui
nonrsp this mav he discovered by offi
cial examinations, but in the case of
private banks the public can know al
most nothing except, what they are
pleased to disclose.
It is not the reports of national
banks by which the financial condition
in Now York is measured, but the
weekly reports of the clearing house
It is not the reports or national nanhs
made to the comptroller of the cur
that are the basis of press re
ports and comments, but the state
ments of the clearing nouse. i ne na
HnnM hnnirs and the national bank
system really determine our financial
condition. The national DanKs con
trol absolutely the financial attairs oi
this country, public as well as private,
f.nd yet the real condition of these
banks, and their controlling influence
is masked and concealed from the
public by the reports of the New York
clearing house, which do not at all
Egree with the reports of national
banks made to the comptroller of the
currency.
The action of the treasury depart
ment for several years has been such
that it ought to convince the country
that there has been no consuming
anxiety to have the public understand
the real condition of the national
banks, and their influence over finan-
t. ft ttta ora loft to Ct
cur knowledge of existing conditions
from the New York clearing house
there is, indeed, little hope that we
will ever have any very acurate
knowledge.
Every business man ought, by this
time, to know that concealment and
deception are a part of Wall street's
business methods, and that many if
not all of New York's financial
schemes and combinations are, in part
at least, dependent upon false pre
tenses. A large majority, if not all,
would have no hope of success if all
the facts were known. The magnitude
of them does not make them any the
less confidence games.
Of what value is the discussion in
so-called financial periodicals, of what
value are the daily press reports, of
statements that come from sources in
terested in deceiving the public, and
from men who have come to believe
that concealment and deception are
legitimate methods of business pro
cedure? Has any thoughtful man failed to
understand that this is a mask under
which congress is to be cajoled and
coerced into surrendering to the banks
to a still greater extent, the great
prerogative of the government to is
sue money? Already have our repre
sentatives turned over to the national
banks government credit in the shape
of bank currency at the rate of one
half per cent per annum, but this does
not satisfy them. They are now de
manding authority to make their own
credit into money, that shall have no
security but the assets of banks. The
conditions of this proposition under
laws that already exist will make the
monry of depositors security for all
such currency issued. It is an infam
ous am! villainous proposition, con
cealed under the pretense of a desire
and necessity for an elastic currency-
something that never has and never
can exist.

(Men are occasionally inclined to
sneer at the statistician, but Mr. Van
Vorhis in this article shows what an
expert can do in the way of detecting
"skullduggery," as the late Brick Pom
cry would say. By careful analysis of
the reports, Mr. Van Vorhis shows
conclusively that something is wrong.
Suppose he should take our first page
article as supplementary to his figures
suppose he should proceed on the
theory that Secretary Shaw has un
lawfully turned over to the Wall street
banks that $150,000,000 gold reserve,
r.nd that the bank books are being
falsified to cover up the crime: Might
not he be able to account for some of
the discrepancies to which he calls at
tention? Ed. Ind.)

Populists have always declared that
' land should not be monopolized."
What that means only requires a
glance at English Honduras. Four
fifths of the land there belongs to an
English syndicate and although it is;
one of the most fertile countries In the;
world, the people are impoverished
and utterly wretched in their lives.
The time may come in the United
States when by the monopolization of
land the people may become aliens
in the land of their birth. The Den
ver address says: "Land for use rather
than for speculation," and The In
dependent stands by the Denver conference.
