pieces In the t ailed States, and of
that number seventy two nutioua
bank* failed during the thirty-one
day* of July. !* >!, and thirty-two of
these went down in the first seven
Jays of that month.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of
dollurs ttins lost by tie* common people
have never been recovered amt never
will be. What wonder, therefore,
Unit the masses of the people are eon
tinuaily secreting their money and
withholding it fr-ni circulation, mak
lug scarcity and the eonditions which
enable the money lenders to get an
exorbitant interest on their loans?
It is seen from examination of the
situation that under present condi¬
tions of banking no means exist
whereby money can cut be made
iwruianeiitly abundant There may
be times when confidence is so
restored, temporarily, that business
men will freely place their money in
the luniks, but let there he a few hunk
failures ami money goes out of sight
as quickly as a crowd will dispone on
the arrival of a person afflicted « 1th a

What folly to talk of making con

\nd yet Uiia excessive interest is eat)
lug out the vitals of the nation. “Every
enterprise of every description is sup¬
pressed in consequence, and workmen
stand in idleness as the result. In a
steady struggle with drouth, grass¬
hoppers, winds and low prices, the
farmer has burdens enough to bear;
lull when the additional weight of
lnr :e interest resLs on his shoulders
the prospect of lifting the mortgage is
exceedingly slim. And so he lives on,
year after year, in the shanty house,
while the workmen who should erect
for him a larger and more -ommodlous

and the uncerialuties existing as to the
future in finance, and especially be¬
cause of high interest, the enterprise
does not go forward and workmen do
not get employment.
With lack of work comes nearly all
the evils that utfiiet society.
How readily and completely all this
would be changed were the govern¬
ment to own and operate the hanks.
What a boon to the great common pco
pie who now have no safe place to put
money. The government need not in

what he know* of the Dominion Coal
company of Nova Scotia, a corporation
authorized to issue shares to a total
face value of $21,000,000, and this on the
promise that congress should this year
pass a bill which the President would
sign admitting coal from Nova Scotia
to this country free of duty and there¬
by giving it in the New York and New
England market about fifteen points
advantage over coal mined in West
Virginia or Pennsylvania, IVt would

with much interest this famous coal

Set Asiile the Law.
It is against the regulations govern¬
ing the standing army to receive a gift
of any kind whatsoever from any per.
son. The first instance where this law
lias been violated was a few days ago
when the regular troops that were on
gaged in suppressing the strike, in a
way that was itself a violation of the
constitution, were presented a stand of
colors by some of the wealthy citizens
of Chicago. 'The following dispatch
relates t he transaction;
Four Shkruiax, Ill., Oct. 19.—There
was a novel and unusual scene within
the army barracks this morning when,
for t lie first time in the history of this
country, a regiment of the regular
force was presented by civilians with
a stand of colors. The regulations of
the army on such matters are unusually
severe, presentations of any kind to
regiments or companies being abso¬
lutely- forbidden. When, however,
