THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK, Oonfidence is a plant of slow growth. The promising crop reports from all sec- tions of the conntry have given a healthy stimolus to commerce and a marked improvement is noted in the Wall street stock market. The lonz locked for re- vival of industrial activity has however not yetbegua. Thedepressionin nearly all channels of trade still continues, but the outlook is by nomeans discouraging. There is evidence that we are now at the bottom and there is much to give us con- fidence in the future. We have all the essentinl elements of prosperity in abun- dance. Unless the movement of the crops is delayed by the farmers holding back on account of low prices the railroads whichhave been pros- trated by ahrinkage in watered stock and light traffic will soon be in condition to earn their usual dividends. Within she past week there has been a tightening of the money market. This closeness was naturally first manifested In eastern money centres. The reflex of this condition is now be ing distinctly folt throughout the west. There is, however, no cause for alarm— rather the contrary. It is simply the ef- fect of a conserv tendency universal in the world of business, Moneylenders are inerensingly cautious. The banks everywhere are more rigorous as to secu- rity. Investors are holdingaloof. Onevery notable consequentesis that, while on the one hand the interest rate has advanced, the custodian of funds are refusing to pay customay rates of interest on depos ite. In harmony with this tendency, there is a decided movement among eastern banks to discontinue entirely the payment of interest on balances. The whole tendency in financial circles is toward conservative courses, . This, evi- dently, is not because of dearth of ready money. The vaults of reliable banks are overflowing, The bank statements show a superabundance of money. There has been, besides, for months multiplied evidence of private hoarding. The money Is all in the country, butfJthe owners are holding tightly toit. This isa ocondition that inevitably produces more or less dissatis- faction in the country at large. The coun- try merchant, the farmer, and the trades- man generally who have for several years keyed their buiiness to the flood of cir- culation, is naturally restive under a restrictive tendency, The conservative spirit which is bringing the whole world of business within its scope, however, is a sign of health, not a cause of serious ap- prehension. It is absolutely essentsal to a sound financial condition—a condition in which business can proceed on a safe basis. There i, indeed, ground to hope that the present condition marks the end of a tremendous revolution that has been in steady progress for more than a year. It is the reaction from reckless speculation that had thrown all business upon fictitious standards. The reaction has brought with it, as was inevitable, vast wreckage and apparent destruction The greatest drawback to the revival of prosperity has been over production. Nearly every branch of industry has pro- duced a supply of commodities largely in excess of the demand. Mills and fac- tories have been closed, and idleness is enforced upon vast numbers of opera- tions, These conditions retard industrial, improvement and continues to bo a fac- torin the uncertain outlook for the future, I XANSAS AND NEBRASKA. The thirtieth anniversrry of the set- tlement of Kansas is to be celebrated at Bismarck grove during the first week in September. Arrangements have been perfected for making this celobration one of the most notable events in the history of the state. Kansas has had eight gov- ernors all of whom are living and it is proposoed to have all these eminent men present on this occasion. Two of the territorial governors, Denver and Stan- ton, are alto expected to ba“present 3 Netraska can well afiord to take some leesons from her sister state. Kansas and Nebraska were created as territories at the same time, and yet Nebraska has taken no steps towards celebrating her thirtieth anniversary, nor even thought of the matter. It is not yet too late, and the Bxk: hopes that something may yet be done in ths direction. The idea is & good one, as it will serve to advertise the state in more ways than one, and will re- svlt in groat benefits. Kansas has always been on the alert to advertise herself. The reason that Kansas has grown so rapidly is that she has never neglected an opportunity of bringing herself to the at- tention of the public, whether it was a John Brown raid, a grasshopper plague, @ drouth, an abundant harvest, a proni- bition movement or a bull-fight. She koops right on advertising. Her board of agriculture has done more in one year to advertise the resources of that state and to induce immiyration than our board has done during the entire ex- istence of Nebraska. The Kansas legis- lature has always been liberal in its ap- propriations for this purpose, while the appropriations of the Nebraska legisla. ture have invariably been inadequate and niggardly, Itis high time that Nebraska should wake up and follow the example of Kansas. If the state had been prop- erly advertised and if wo had Lad a well- conducted and energetic bureau of im. migration, Nebraska to-day would have been far ahoad of Kansas in population and wealth, WEST VIRGINIA, In the coming presidential eloction West Virginia will cast six electoral votes, Owing to the complications that have arisen in that state the republicans have reason to believe that they can oarry the election, The democrats divided into two bltter factions, and the republicans and greenbackers are pooling o their issues, The republican state con- vention was composed of over 1200 dele- gotes, the proceedings were harmonious, a streng ticket was put in the field, and judging from the enthusiasm with which it is being received the prospeots for its success are of the most encouraging char- acter. The tioket is headed by .Judge Edwin Maxwell, late justice of the su- preme coutt, for governor, He had been previously nominated by the greenback- ers, and when his name was first proposed in the republican convestion there was some opposition to his candidacy, but the fusion having been satisfactorily ar- ranged, ho was nominated unanimously. All the other nominees on the ticket are men of ability, character and popularity, The republicans and green- backers aro now firmly united for the campaign, while democrata are disunited by factional fights which cannot be oasily smoothed over. If the republicans will now put in the field the right men for congressienal, district and county oandidates they will insure victory all along theline. At the state election four years ago the democrats had less than 2,000 plarality over the straight re- publican ticket, and at the presidential election four years ago they had a ma- jority of only 2,060 over the combined republtcan and greenback vote. During the past four years the republi- cans have been constantly gaining strength. Blaine is extensively interested in mining and industrial entorprises in that state, and has a host of warm per- sonal friends in all the political parties. West Virginia will do herselt honor in giving a majority to James G, Blaine, and the republicans now confidently expect such a result. HENDRICKS, Extract From the Speech of Hon, ‘Wm, H., Calkins at Rich- mond, Indiana, Mr. Hendrioks ought not to be slected to the office of vice-president of the United States beoause his position on public questions in the past gives no promise of hope in the future, and be- cause, among other ressons, early in 1861 he said: “‘If the war being prosecuted should have the effect of abolishing our market in the south by destroying the peculiar system of labor in that section, then I would advise the northwest to look out for itself."” In addressing meetings after that time, in which the call denounced Mr. Lincoln asa “‘tyrant,” and an “‘imbecile,” and the war for the suppreesion of the rebellion as a ‘‘failure,” all of which must have been known to Mr. Hendricks, and for which he had no word of condemnation. Again, in 1803, he denounced Mr. Lin- coln for waging an abolition war, and is said to have used this language: “If congress would take a bundle of switches, and switch them all out of the White House, it would be well for the people, but until that is done, it will not be well. You may hear the prayers in our churches, your sons may go out to battle them, but our country is not to be restored as it was until abolitionism is buried, never to be resurrected.” Speaking of the ralsing of colored regi- ments, Mr. Hendricks is reported to have said: “‘The crown of injustice has been completed; they have passed a bill in the house of representatives to arm an army of negroes, * * * Kyery man who voted for that bill, and the president of the United States, when he shall have aifiaed it,will offer a direct Insult to every white man and woman in the United States; an insult that every proud man will resent.” Again, he 1s reported to have said in a speech delivered in this suate, if anybedy came into their neigh- borhood to arrest deserters to *‘attend to that gentleman at once.” He is reported to have further said, speaking of the war: “I am wlling to com- promi at any time; I am ready to say,[to the people of the south, come in again and we will secure to you your constitutional rights, and, if you de- sire additional guarantees.” In the same speech, speaking of Mr. Lincoln, he is suid to have used this language: *‘Mr. Liocoln says to the people, ‘you are not loyal, I am loyal;’ he says,you men of the workshops and farms, ‘1 will put you in dungeons if you aon't keep still when I shako my head.” All these words and more were spoken by Mr. Hendricks at a time when the country wus engaged in an awtul avil war, where hundreds were being killed daily, and thousands of dollars of the people's money was baing spent to put down the rebellion. One word or sentence from him in favor of the vigorous support of that war would have saved hundreds of lives and thous- ands of dollars, Yet he dd not speak it; but, on the contrary, gave his voice and his influence in the opposite direction, Later on, when he was called on in offi- cial life to secure the results of the war by constitutional amendments, he bitter- 1y opposed all of them, Ho yielded his support to Mr, Greeloy in the campalgn of 1872, His position upon the resnmp. tion of specie payments and the restora- tion of the Union toa coin basis, was questionable and insecure. With the question he resorted to what Mr. Tilden oalls a **futile dalliance,” and underwent the painful mortification of seeivg the oounu] resume s payments without his aid and it his protest. He stumped th te of Ohio for Governor Allen upon latform of repudiation, He was one of the three Senators who voted for a proposition that no col- ored man should vote unless he was worth $200, He is opposed {0 civil ser- vioe reform, and has ever sat upon the fence until every public question has swopt past him before announcing his own opinion thereon, For these and many reasons Mr, Hendricks ought not, in my judgement, to be elected Vice President of the Uuited States, Mr, Hendricks' private life is unexdeptionas and pereonally he is a perfect gen- tleman, It is to his public utterances and public history that I object, and he has given of late years no sign of repen- tance for the political sins which he has committed, o —— Union Pacific Robbers, Chicego Tribune, The history of the relations of the sub- sidized Union Pacific to the government a8 beon an endless chain of scandals and the last link, as described in the account in the New York Times of the illegal compromise of the senate judiciary com- b{ Senator Edmunds, in which were rev- elatlons of the most damning frauds, Nothing but thesé rumors ever reached the public. Dim echoes of flying foot- falls wero heard as the ‘‘insiders” fled through the corridors of the stook market from the wrath to come, an avalanche of stock was dumped on the innocent public, the report, the mere rambling of which had caused such a panic, disappeared,the senate jndiciary committeo usurped gov- ernmental functions and agreed to dis- continue the investigation, the protesta- tions of Senator Van Wyck, the only rep- resentative the people had in the senate, were over-tuled, the company’s check for nearly a million dollars was deposited in the treasury of the United States, Credit Mobilier Dillon dropped out of the presi- dency, and the respectable-looking Mass achusetts face of Charles Francis Adams np{mnrod in his place. What did it all mean? It meant that once again, as so often in the case of the Union Pacific, the peo- ple had been betrayed, It meant that the senate judiciary com- mittee had demonstrated by their inves- tigation that the officers and directors of the Union Pacific had violated the lawa of congress by adding $47,000,000 watered stocks and bonds to its capitali- zation, and that the committee had de- liberatly smothered this truth, and in violation of their trust offered unlawful amnesty to the offenders. It meant that the senate judiciary committee had found that in violation of !aw the officera and directors of the Union Pacific had refused to pay the government a conc ot the millions 1t owed under the Thurman act, and that while thus in de- fault they had, in defiance of the express prohibition of congress, paid nineteen millions (819,000,600) individends on the stock, including the huge maes of watered serip that had no legal existence, and that the committee had withheld all knowlodge of these facts from the senate, congress or the people. It meant that the senate judiciary committee had discovered that the per- sons—Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon, and others—to whom the $47,000,000 of ille- gal watered stocks and bonds had been wrongfully issued should be called on to return this plunder to the treasury of the company, no matter what price they might have to pay in the stock market to recover it from the lambs to whom they had sold it, and that the committee agreed with these indlers to conceal the fact of their liability from their vie- tims and the public = who has been bunkoed into buying this worthless stock at par. It meant that the senate judiciary committee had discovered that the direc- tors and officers of the Union Pacific who had declared $19,000,000 of illegal divi- dends while the company was in default to the government were personally liable to the full amount of their private for- tunes for the return of this vast amount of perverted money, and that the com- mittee Jconceal ‘this fact from the gov- ernment of which they were the agents, It meant that the senmate judiciary committee had found that the officers and directors who had thus violated the law by declaring these dividends were not only liable to the government for the return of the money, but were liable to fine and imprisonment, and that they had suppressed all mention of this fact which might have given congress the op- portunity to order the officers of the gov- ernment to proceed against these power- ful offenders. Among the men who are responsible to return the money are Sid- ney Dillon, David Dows, Jay Gould, Russell Sage, and A. H Green of New York; Fred L Ames, Elisha Atkins, Ez- ra H. Baker, and Charles Francis Adams of Boston; J. A, Rumrillof Springfield; Hugh Riddle of Chicago; S. H. Clark of Omaha; John Sharp of Salt Lake City, and Granville M. Dodge of Council Bluffs—all of whom were directors last year, and all the directsrs and officers of the previous years when the offenses which the senate judiciary committee dis- covered and did not reveal were com- mitted. Allof these men should be prosecuted for recovery of the money and for punishment of their offense. That they are rich and powerful is but one reason the more why they should be followed to the end, To let such offenders and such offenses go unpunished while the crimes of the poor and the weak are visited with all the penalties of the law is to confess that the peopio have ceased to rule. and that in property and politics we live under tho despotism of the wealthy criminal classes. e — Colored Men and Hendricks, From the Indianapolis Times, There aro several thousand colored voters in this state, as well as in all the states of the north, Mr. Hendricks has madea record upon the question of the treatment of colored citizens, Some of these citizens will be atked to vote for him. They ought, in reply, to point out that record. In the constitntional convention of this state he spoke and voted in favor of making it a crime for any colored person to come into the state of Indiana, He voted against the repeal of the in. famous fugitive slave law. He voted against the amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery. He voted against. the amendment making the colored people/citizens of the United States. He voted against the resolution giving them the right of suffrage. Ho voted against the resolution giving the privilege of riding in the street cars of Washington city. He voted in favor of limlting the right of suffrage to those who could read and write, knowing that owing to democratic laws not one in a thousand could either read or write. — e ——— MONEY LENDERS, Sharks Who Frey Upon the Necessi- ties of the Poor—Exorbi- tant Interest, New Haven Palladium, The necessities of the poor make the opportunities of the rich, 1s & truth that has more practical life than is seen upon the surface. Adventurous oapitalists, note-shavers and pawn-brokers could tell strange stories of men's financial neceesi- ties 1f they could be induced to relate them, But this class of people, especial- ly thoso of the last division, keep these socrets locked up withi emselves. The laws of Cobnecticut aim to more rigidly wuard the interests of the poor than those of most states, but with indifferent suc- cess, Some of the local Smallweeds con- fine thewselves to receiving as security small arricles of value, watches, diamonds, chaine, rings and jewelry generally. Theso take up but little room for the valug in them and are easily turned into cash, This class of goods are considered the most desirable for the above rea- mittee with the ofticers of the Union Pa. [sons, but as the brokers advance but cifie, is the ugliest of all, When the artificial price of Union Pa- cific went to smash last spring there were mysterious rumors floating about of a terrible report which had been prepared abeut one-half of the real value, they are alwost invariably redeemed. The low- er class of pawnbrokers, who take almost overything offered, are more discriminat- ing and more unjust in the exactions, It in the extréme poor, those who are but a step from ry and the almhouse, that visit the establishments of these brokers and were it not such a sad com- mentary upon the pinching times which many people pass through, the curious medley presents one of these establish- ments would be amuring indeed. Here one rises to find all manner of clothing, men’s garments, dresses, overgarments, shoes and rubbers, odd and oftentimes unique pieces of crockery, an heir loom perhaps of the one who has come to want revolvers, and knives, and oftimes the family Bible, its value often reduced be- cause {t contains the family register. On this class of goods a mere pittance is ad- vanced, oftimes as little as the price of a loaf of bread, or a glass of beer. This class of goods is less often redeemed than the better class of goods. By a law of the state goods not re. deemed within six months may be sold by a broker, and the rate of interest is fixed at 25 per cent a year. This rate of interest, however, does not satisfy the brokers, and many ways of avoiding the law are resorted to. The following copy of a pawn ticket shows one of the meth- ods of increasing the interest: Nrew Havex, On the paymeut of § thereon as prescribed by the statute law of this state, I promise to deliver to bear- er or Mr. —, if called for within one month from date. At the request of the owner this prop- erty is insured against loss or damage by fire or robbery to the value of $-— for the further sum of §——. The practice of the firm using the above blank is to charge enough for insuring to make a 10 per cent. return for the money loaned, This last section opens a gate for extra charges which the law cannot touch, however apparent the fact that justice should. A case is told of a man who arrived in town in a condition known in popular par- lance as *‘strapped.” Directing his steps to a broker’s store he “‘put up” his valise for $2. It remained in the hands of the broker a month, and when he called for it he was obliged to pay $2 tor interest and stos At this rate the interest collected by the broker was 1200 per cent. ayear. In Boston goods must be redeemed in four months, and the rate of interest 18 fixed by the police cormmis- sioners. This is for $1, five cents for first week, and each week after two cents; from 81 to $3, 4 per cent. for first week and 2} per cent. per week thereafter. In New York the time of redemption is fixed at one year for sums ander $100 and the interest is fixed at 3 per cent. per month for the first six months, and after that 2 per cent; over $100, 2 per cent. per month the first six months, after that 1} per cent. per month. Next to pawnbrokers among those who have accommodstions for the needy may be termed adventurous capitalists, who loan larger sums on furniture, carriages, horszs and other collaterals. They charge liberally for the money, as the security is a little shaky and the value uncertain, There are various liabilities and contingencies which may come in to affect the value of the security. When the property is held by the one to whom the money is loaned, there is a chance that it may be removed, become dam- aged or burned up. Still another class of people who loan money on a ‘“‘kite-flying”’ plan, are not shavers, The amount of discount de- pends solely upon the character of the paper. As the class of borrowers who go to these people have no credit with the banks, the rate of interest paid is gener- ally ruinous. Previous to 1877 there was a great deal of talk throughont the state concerning legal rates of interest. It became almost a party question, so deeply did it interest the people. The present law was that year placed upon the statute books and has generally worked satisfactorily. The law fixes the legal rate of interest at 6 per cent, but leaves parties negotiating free to make such A%nrgnin as they see fit, On this basis almost any rate can be charged in accordance with the necessities of the borrower. 1f the borrower refuses to pay the rate agreed upon aund the case goes to the courts foradjustment the law will only allow 6 per cent. A young man came to a well known citizen, to whom he was a stranger, a few days ago and wanted to borrow $15 for a month to pay expenses incurred by a sister’s tllness. He offered ample secu- rity and proposed to pay fair interest. “Why don't you go to———1 He's in that business,” said the gentleman nam. ing a man who gave up mercantile busi- ness and bacame a money lender years 0. .g“l did,” was_the young man's reply, “‘but he wanted $8 interest for $16 for two months, and I can’t afford to pay that much.” S Successful Strike Against Reduction, Pirrsnuno, August 4. —Graff, Hugas & Co.’s stove foundry resum: s tomorrow au_ the old wages, after & suspension of ten wecks, Tho strikais aro fubilant aud claim that within a woek every foundry in tho city will bs resum- ing and paying the wagos demanded.
