JVIK.V MonraAOG IKDKHTKDXKSS. \ The subject of fnrm mortirngo Indobl- cdncss in the United States is ono of \ory Rieat interest in its economic bear ings , and bccauso of its cotnploxltles nnd dllllcuUles no other matter con cerning which authentic information is dcalrablo has boon BO extrarngnntly nilsroprosciitctl. Those \\lio nro in terested from ono reason or another , In making It appear thnt the farm ers of this country are burdened with n mass of mortgage obligations which they can never hope to unload , nnd as a consequence the time must como whim nearly all of the farm prop erty o ( the country worth having will pass into the ownership of the moneyed corporations that loan money on such land , have fiqcly mndo the wildest state ments regarding this form of indebted- neis , feeling tafo in doing so bocnu o thuro was no authentic data to refute them. Socking out the worst local con ditions In the agricultural states , they have mndo these the basis of cal culations for entire states nnd re gions , and thus have sovmdod an alarm that has had u damaging effect upon the material prosperity of the section In which the unfortunate state of nffnlrj was alleged to exist. It ia hoped that the eleventh census , unilor which pro vision Is mndo for iibPortalnlng fnrm niortgiigo indebtedness , will clear away much of the misrepresentation on this subject , but la the meanwhile those who have indulged in it so freely will doubt less continue to do so while they have any interest to subserve. Nebraska Is ono of the btatcs which has been conspicuously inisrepicbentcd in this particular , and the stale has had no worbo enemies than these who have falsely charged that lior farmers nro hopulesily burdened with mortgage obli gations and are as a whole Hot proa per ous. THK IJii : : has stcidily discredited those statements as being Inconsistent with obvious facts. They are disproved by the evidences of growth and pros perity everywhere apparent In tlio btato , and wo have tie doubt that authentic statistics would show thorn to bo most grosslj exaggerated. By way of justi fying thin doubt , wo call at tention to the report of the Blato stalls tlclan , Mr. .Tonkins , regarding the mort gage i indebtedness of Sarpy county for ten years , which is printed elsewhere - where In this issue. Sarpy being ono of the oldest counties in the state , is prop erly selected as furnishing a fair badis for calculation as to the general condi tion , and from tlio exhibit made it will bo seen that thoio s no ground for the claim that the farmers of Nebraska aio as a class hopelessly in debt. The In vestigation of the state btatistieian has been made with giqat care and the facts ho presents can bo fully verified. It ap pears thnt during ton years , from 1879 to the close of 1889 , the whole number of mortgages executed in Sarpy county was eight hundred and sixty-live , represent ing loans amounting to ono million three hundred thousand dollars , and at the beginning of the present year only three hundred nnd seventy-one moil- gngos , representing four hundred and sixfy-oight tlioitsind frollars , woio unpaid. Fifty-eight per cent of the mortgage louns was purchase money , and twenty-seven per cent was for In vestment in other real estate and in mercantile business. A very interesting fact is that tfioto have boon but eight foreclosures in the county in ten years. Undoubtedly not every county in the state will show bo good a record as this , but the truth is thut the farm mortgage indebtedness of Nebraska in a very largo ineubiiro represents the purchase of land which has had a gradual increase , while the very few foreclosures show that the revenues have boon sutHciont to moot the demands of interest and loans. TIIK r.lLI , IX SILYUlt. The decline in the market price of silver , which has fallen about sixteen points from the highest price reached since the pnssago of the silver bill , is a matter about which the bpeculalois only have reason to bo troubled It has no bignificanco affecting the interests of the public , being in fact simply the reaction of 11 speculative movement which gave a wholly artificial stimulus to the ad vance of sliver. When it became cer tain that the country was to have legis lation that would provide for the absorp tion by the ticasury of nil the silver pro duct of the country numerous combina tions \\ofo formed to buy up all the sil ver to bo secured and compel the treas ury to pay a largo advance on it. Tlio pools bought at prices all the way from ninety-three cents to ono dollax1 and tun cents an ounce. The movement was incnburcnbly successful , the first pur chase of the treasury under the now law bolntr at an advance over the market pilco ot silver before the law was enacted which put a very generous profit into the pogUets of some of the speeu- llltOfb. Ilut the amount gathered up by fie pools was very much beyond the Immediate requirements of the treasury , and as silver continued to bo offered on the miirkot the Bpaculators discovered that tholr cornering scheme was likely to prove a failure. Some of thorn began unloading , and although these who had profited by the specula tion sought to hold the market up , the price steadily declined and has suffered ono or tsvo sharp falls. At the begin ning of the current month the price had receded f "Din one dollar mul twenty-one cento to ono dollar andjavolvo cents , and It uas the Impression "that it would not go lower , but it has since gonb down to ono dollar and five couth , and it Is by no moans certain that It will stop there. A Now York disp itch of a few days ago faatd it was estimated that the accumula tion of silver bullion in that city alone amounted to ton million ounces , and It was computed that the speculators were out of pocket on this sum seven hundred thousand dollars. The government completed its purchases for October at a price n little under the low est Now York quotations , and it will not enter tlio mnrkot again until the first Monday in November. Meantime bilvor continues to reach the mnrkot , and the speculators have found that the supply is an unknown quantity , while the estimates of production nro WOIFO than useless , Ills probable that when the treasury again becomes a pur chaser ubxt week it will be able to ob tain the required four nnd 11 half million ( ounces M a lower price than it Jias yet paid for ailvcr under the now law. | The result will very likely bo the | abandonment of silver speculation , nnd if this should be the case the lesson will not hnvo been dearly paid for by the government. The country nt largo has been benelltlcd by the Increased circula tion , nnd If silver small hereafter bo frco from any artificial Influences it will speedily settle to n position thnt will bo satisfactory to the country and justify the judgment of these who advocated the now law. j A'KOLKOT. The Indifference shown by thousands of qualified voters in the matter of reg istration is deplorable. Despite the ef forts o ( the press , associations nnd indi viduals , tlio registry lists show scarcely sixty per cent of the voting population of the city. In two dajs twonty-flvo thousand voters wore registered In St. Paul , while loss than eighteen thousand were enrolled in Omaha in the three days. With one-fourth the population of Omaha , Sioux City has registered eight thousand voters. In none of these cities does the issues involved in the election approach those which vitally concern the welfare of Omaha and Nebraska. There are fully flvothousand workingmen - men in this city who have not boo n reg istered. Tlio army of employes In the emoltlng works have given this Impor tant duty but little attention. Train men , shopmen and other railroad em ployes by the hundreds are unregistered , nnd similar neglect is shown in factories , mills , warehouses and other depart ments of labor. Between five and six hundred men nro employed by the job bers of the city , yot.scarcely ton per cent lias been called homo to oxorclso their rights of citizenship. These aio facts that cannot uo disguised. A canvass of any block in the city will show from n doon to a score of qualified voters unregistered. The neglect nnd indilTorenco manifested is n crime against tlio city and state , for which there is no palliation. A thorough house to house canvass should bo undertaken tit once by the leagues and clubs of the various waids , and a concerted , sys tematic effort made to i-ogiatcr every voter in the city during Friday and Saturday. Thoie are fully thirty thousand voters in the city , every ono of whom should bo registered. Prompt , energetic nc- tion is necessary to make the election an effective expression of public sentiment on various vital questions submitted for u decision at the ballot box , IOUK OUT FOK Till ! LEGIST.A'IURE. The alliance movement in Nebraska took its rise in a demand for state re forms. Tliobd can como only through the legislature , which must bo honest , intelligent mid incorruptible. Tin : Bun has said often arid says now again with renewed emphasis , that the pioducers of the state must see to it that the right kind of men arc elected to both branches of the legislature. There can bo no reform , no progressive legislation and no relief from the burdens which the people uniit remo\cd unless the leg islature is composed of men who will bo faithful to the people. A great demon stration of reform sentiment can effect nothing if the lawmnking power is not in accord with the demands of the times. It is not likely that any of the candidates for governor would dare to stand in the way of such legislation as the people want. The re sponsibility would bo too personal and the betrayal too direct. Ilut a legisla ture composed of the wroiig material could defeat the reform sentiment which nobody doubts is today in u majority in this state. The demand is for men who will fear lessly take hold of tlio problem of rail road regulation , to the end that lower charges shall prevail and that corpora tions shall pay their juat share of the taxes. The demand is for men who will rovibo tlio Usury laws and make them olloctho ; who will pasaiiluw making the owners of public elevators serve ns public waiohousomcn , Vith all that that implies ; who will piovido more stringent laws for the pi election of laborers against accidents ; who will im prove the election laws and give lib tlio Austrian ballot ; and who will throw the influence of the stale in favor of the government ownerMiip of the telegraph. These are vital matters to the people of Nebraska. They will bo Kittled by the next legislature if thopcoplodo their duty. On ivJl those questions the repub lican party ns an organisation stands right , but if in any district the repub lican * candidates are opposed to thorn , they should bo beaten b ) men who can bo trusted to register the people's will , In these last hours of the camabs the important thing is to look out for the next legislature. The election of con- giossmen touches national issues , but in electing tholr representatives to Lincoln the pconlo say whether not we are to have the reforms in state government that all fair mon concede tobo desirable.
