APRIL 17, 1888, W—W THE NATIONAL BANK SYSTEM. It Finds An Enthusiastic Champion In Senator Farwell. REASONS FOR CONTINUING IT. Reagan and Stewart Present the Other Side of the Question—The Dakota Division Bill Again Under Consideration. Benate. ‘Wasnrxarox, April 16.—~Mr. Stewart in- troduced & bill in the senate to-day granting @ pension of 85,000 a year to the widow of Chief Justice Waite. After the reference of antimber of meas- ures the conference report on the bill to di- vide the Great Sioux reservation into seper- ate smaller reservations was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Farwell, the bill provid- ing for tho investment of certain funds in the treasury was taken up, and Mr. Farwell proceeded to address the senate. He gave notice of his intention to offer two amend- ments to the bill. One of them directs the socrotary of the treasury to issue and soll to national banks at par for United States notes, United States 23 per cent bonds, re- deemable after fifty years, to be used by banks as security for their circulating notes, the notes to be issued at the full par value of the bonds. It also directs the secretary of the treasury to invest the sur- plus funds held in the wreasury, including the amount to be received for these bonds, in the purchase of any United States bonds in open market and replace all the sinking fund. The other amendment authorizes the secre. tary of the treasury,in order to enable national ‘banks to maintain and increase their circula- tion and prevent the ultimate destruction of ‘banks by the purchase or payment of the national debt, to receive from banks, to se- cure their circulating notes, state, county or municipal bonds, upon which interest has heretofore been promptly paid and whose market value is equal to or greater than their face value, bearing interest at not less than 4 per cent, such bonds not to be received by the treasurer at more than 15 per cent of their par value, nor until the approvalof the secre- tary of the treasury, treasurer of the United States and comptroller of the currency shall be endorsed upon them. Mr. Farwell went on to say that the bill ‘was good enough 8o far as it went, but it did not include the whole finance question, which he regarded as of paramount interest. It only proposed to temporize with it. 1t simply re- duced the interest on 4 per cent, bonds to 214 per cent. These bounds amounted to $700,000,000 and matured in 1907 and it authorized na- tional banks to receive circulation at par upon them and upon all other Unitad States bonds, The bill did not remedy the evils of the present financial condition. The two amendments which he proposed to offer, would he thought, cure those evils. He would, if he could, so amend the financial legislation of the country that the national banking system—the best ever devised— should be continued. His amendments, if adopted, wouid enable national banks to use the present debt of the United States. If that debt could be continued, at its present volume, the legislation proposed by him would be adequate to the maintenance of the national banking system, but he recognized the fact that the American people were anxious and determined to pay the debt. Under his amendment the banks would have a new lease of life and would be able to furnish the country with all the cir- culating medium required, limited only by the amount of the national debt. If it were desired that their permanent existence should be secured and the necessary volume of cur- rency furnished through them, the authority should be given to them to furnish other ‘bonds 80 a basis for their circulation accord§ ing as the national debt was reduced and rem-ml ‘Without that authority, as the national debt was paid, banks would be com- pelled to give up the circulation secured thereby, and that circulation would, of course, be destroyed. The real trouble was in the want of legislation forcing all the commercial inter- ©sts of the country to base their medium of exchange on the national debt and in the re- tirement of that debt without the substitute of some other basis of their circulation, Bank circulation was a nccessity and could not, without detriment to trade, be replaced by any fixed governmental issue. He would, if he had the power, pass a law now that would perpetuate the mational banking system. Government was organized to protect the people. It had no other duties. Congress ought to pay off the national debt, both bonds and notes, and authorizo the people, under the national bank act, with suitable amendments, to furnish themselves with all the mon mneeded. The people will then furnish th wn circulating medium in such quantitiesas he business of the country required, and they would not be subject to any legislation by congress nor have their interest menaced zed as at present by a deposit of $01,000,000 in national banks, subject to the call of the secretary of the trensury. The government should got out of business f all kinds and especizlly out of the money usiness. People should be provided with adequate laws to manage their own affairs in their own way. Banks were one of the dences of advanced o zation. By them and through them the business of the coun try was done, ouly five per cent of 1t being done with monoy. He did not regard the banks as monopolies mnor —did he characterize them s the money power of the country, He thought them the * rovorse of all. He didn’t believe in sumptuary laws, legal tender laws, nor usury laws, but he did be- lieve in that kind of government which had the fewest laws, giving the people the largest liberties and guaranteeing good order, good morals and adequate protection. In pur- suance of that law he would not require any one by law to take silver or greenbacks or national bank notes in payment of debts, He would leave that matter” entirely to agree- ment and contract, He would permit any citizen of the United States to go to the minll and bave his bullion coined into mouney. He would ulso Ymnm him to have his silver bullion coined into money, hav- & gold as the standard, but he decmed it l.mpo-nble to have two standards, There could be but one standard. In his judgment the thing that would make no dif- ference to anybody in this country ‘was to accept the inevitable and make the readjustment at once, If it \vcle desired to make the silver dollar equal piuld, the requn\lw i\mmlltv of silver should be put fnto it. Then nobody would be cheated. “In comclusion hd’ said: Juder these mmendinents, or by some other similar legis- lation, I would refund the present public debt Bt 234 per cent at five years, and authorize mational banks to receive cireulation at par for such amounts as they might use for that rulpow Iwould require the secretary of he treasury to invest this surpius in the pur- 8@ of any indebtedness of the government n opon mirket from time to time. I would have suspended the requirements of the sink- . ing fund, because if the socretary is author- ized to buy the publio debt with the surplus from time to time, the requirements of the law creating that fund would be no longer necessary. For the purpose of enabling the roplu 1o manago their uffairs, without inter- ercuce on the part of the governwent, I would allow theui to muintain a volume of mational bank circulation up to the amount of the national debt by state, county and muni- eipal bonds as provided forin the last smend- anent which I proposed. If such legislation can be passed would hear uo more of y or panics.’ said his wish was to see the ntry relicved of the bonded debt as early possible. He did not deny that the ua- E:ml bauks bad subserved a very valuable purpose during and since the war, but he re- hat the time was approeching when should become extinet. They had themsolves to be guided by a policy ly their own and at war with the humn of the country. He would al- the charters of wations! banks to expire be would refuse to recharter them as h of issus. For national bank la- he would uubwtuu the issug of cortain based on gold and silver iu. the ury, and if tlm. were nol cadugh, be would authorize the jssue of treasury not but not a8 legal tender. He wohld protest against thvgmueyot continuing the Bonded rlem for five years and agaifist the poliey of peflwlununp national banks. r. Stewart protested against the de- struction of silver in the interest of that ‘‘mushroom stufl”’ which had already brought distross ipon the country, National bank circulation ought no to be fos- tered any longer. ‘The precious metais should be used for circulation and when they were not snfficient paper money should be issued, ot by private cor- porations, but by the' government of the Inited States, The test enemies of the country were those who managed the cirenla- tion of the country 86 84 10 ke hard times or good times to suit their speculation. At tho close of Mr, Stewart's remarks the senate resumed the consideration of the bill for the admission of the state of South Da- kota and for the organization of the territory of North Dakota, Mr. Spooner addressed the senate in favor of the bill. He argued that the question of the division of the terri- tory had been submitted to the whele people and been decided in favor of division by a majority of over 5,000. As to the suggestion made hi Mr. Bufler that 830,000 votors of Dakota had beon so indifferent to the ques- tion that they stayed away from the polls, and that therefdre it was not a fair test of the popular will, he drew a distine- tion between the cages of voters in northern states who remained from the polls through indifference and of voters in the southern states who were kept away through intimida- tion. As'tothe claim made by Mr. Butler that there was no dangor to be apprehended ffom the imperial statos, he questioned it and asserted that tho great empire state of Texas did menace by her mounstrous terri- tory the interests of the other sections of the country. She had in the other house the chairman of the judiciary committee, the chairman of the committee on ways and means, a committee which dealt with the dearest intérests of New Kngland, New York, Pennsylvania and all the country, and the chairman of the com- mittee on_claims, while the great state of New York had no yoice in the committee on waysand means, Why such preponderance in political influence on the part of the em- pire state of Texas! It was not due to the wealth, loyalty or intelligence of her people. 1t was due to two things: Her solid democ- racy and her territory. No such empire states were wanted in the union. Hedid not believe South Dakota would be admitted by this congress, but ho thought he might safely prophecy that before long there would be elected a congress that would recognize her rights dnd gladly welcome her. The bill went over till toamorrow, and after executive ssion the senate adjourned. House, Wasnxatos, April 16,—The honse passed the bill extendimg the time for the completion of the Arthur Kill bridge. A motion was made to suspond the rules and put the river and harbor bill upon 1ts pas- sage. The reading of the bill consumed nearly an hour and a half. Mr. Anderson of Kansas demanded a second and the motion was seconded—yeas 128, nays 5. A motion was teen made that the house adjourn. This was lost, and after a sharp de- Dbate a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was lost—yeas 134, nays 120. As there was not the necessary two-thirds in the af- firmative Mr, Calkins of Ohio moved to sus- pend the rules and adopt the followiug reso- lution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the house that section 2 of the act making appro- priations for sundry civil expenscs of the government for the year ending June 80, 1852, and for other purposes, approved March 8, 1881, which is as follows: That the secretary of the treasury may at any time apply the surplus money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated or so much thereof as he may consider proper to purchase for the redemption of United States lands; provided, that the lands so purchased or rodeemed shall coustitute no part of the sinking fund, but shall be redeemed and can- celled, was intended to be a permanent pro- vision of the law and the same is hereby de- clared to have been since its enactment’ and to be now, in the opinion of the house, in full force and effect, Mr. Weaver declared this resolution meant nothing mora than the defeat and burial of the house surplus resolution with the Beck silver amendment. He appealed to the ways and means committee not to allow it to be buried. The resolution was flually adopted—ycas 183, nays 64. Adjourncd. T e GAMBRINUS CORKED.

Just before noon the proprietors of each brewery called their men together. vo instructed, in a_ shor 1ress, ing to the resolution that tho & association had scen fit to adopt, vices would no longer be required. ¢ informed that the browery em- had unanimously decided to be their own bos and would mnot, and never will to any- thing of from their men, ] tract with the journey: the union demanded the employer: was decidedly of this nature, and consequent- ly bad refused to sign it. he men w further informed that should they feel di posed to submit their names for re-emplo; ment as individuals and were willing to dis- connect themselves from their unions and recognize their employers as their only Dosses, the proprietors would be perfectly willing to re-employ them, give them the same pay with the same number of hours work, and ‘employ them under the same con- ditions as they bad worked under formerly. When the time came the men quietly departed after receiving their pay, ~and the doors of cvery brewe were closed aund business for the time is suspended in this city, As fast as the men drew their pay they proceeded at ouce to their headquarters, where the strike committee took their names and to what brewery they belonged.

THE FORGED CHECK SWINDLE. It ¥s Successfully Worked On D bugue Grocerymen by an Honest Looking Fraund — Litigation Growing Out of the Flood. The Gallows In Sight. Masox City, In,, April 16.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—Another murder has been committed in Towa, this time in Trank- lin county, the victim being James Rankin, an industrious citizen of Cerro Gordd, ' The deed was committed at Sheffield on Wednesday, Rankin receiving a-blow. over the head with a sledge hammer which * re- sulted in his deavh last night. Peters was immediately arrested and upon preliminary examination was bound over to await {he action of the grand jury. The particnlars of the affair are as follows: Peters was removing a shoe from Rankin's horso as it was standing out ih_the, street. The horse would not stand still and this aroused the ire of the blacksmith who struck the horse with the hammer. Rankin could not suffer seeing his horse abused and remonstrated in no gentle manner, Poters turned on Rankin throwing his tool box at him and following it up by an attack with the hammer, Two blows were warded off, but the third did the work, crushing in the right side of his head, driving the Dbones through into the . brain. Several picces of bome were taken out and the depressed portion of the skull raised. Rankin was taken to his home in the south part of the county, Peters is a Ger- man and has been in this country only about two years. He is a stranger in these parts, having located in Sheffield about two weeks ago. His only relative is a brother who re- sides at Mersevy. Heis in custody of the Frauklin county sheriff. Pubuque Merchants Defranded. Dustque, Ta., April 16.—[Special Telogram to the Brr.]—This city was worked by a very clever swindler last Saturday after- noon. He looked like a workingman with an honest face, and he would enter a retail grocery store, buy a bill of goods amounting to $2 or 83 and present a check purporting to be drawn by the Farley & Fletcher manu- facturing company for $10 or §15. The mer- chants took the checks without hesitatlon, giving him the difference in cash. In due time they discovered that every check was a forger, The goods were taken to the neur- ost alley and thrown away, where they were nearly all found_yesterday morning. Moan- whila the swindler, having sccured several hundred dollars in this way, quictly skipped the town, and npbody knows his naime or where he has gone. e High Water Litigation. Sroux Crry, Ta., April 16.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—Litigation growing out of the late flood of the Missouri river, was to- day instituted against Union county, Dakota. A year ago the county dug a ditch just below Elk Point to carry off the flood water of the Missouri to the Sioux river. A strong cur- rent cut through this ditch during the late flood and now threatens to transform it into the main chanuel of the Missouri and the farmers living in the vicinity are bringing suits for damage. = The Mississippl ¥lood. WrxoNA, Minn., April 16.—The Mississippi has never been known to be so high in April. The rise of yesterday and to-day is unprece- dented, Saturday the rivee registered 11 feet, 8 inches; to-night, 13 feet, 1 inch, The water is creeping over the railroad tracks at the ferry landing. At the west end every- thing is afoat. All tho houses on West Third street, betwoen these limits, are m the midst of a broad sea, strotching from Fourth street to the Wisconsin shore. On the north side of Fourth street the water is driving the people out, and at 9 p.m. has crossed Sioux street, The lake is rising and the water is running over Huft street and backing up into the rear yards of Mark street. The water is still rising, and a few more inches will prove disastrous. it Murdered at a Still, CoLunBus, 8. C., April 16.—Lee Jeffeoat, a notorious illicit dealer, was retailing liquor to a party of five men on the roadside in Orangeburg county Saturday night, when some one concealed in the woods fired a load of buclk-shot into the crowd. Wyat Parker was shot through the brain and killed, Jeff- coat fatally and others seriously wi ounded. To Strike.

It is well known now that with the i proved breeds of pigs six or oight months are enough to fit the pork for market, whereas it formerly took eigh- teen months. But in spite’ of the great change in this particular, there is a class of men who contend that the beef from a two-year old steer, though he may ‘)I‘ as lur*'( and heayy and fully de- ar old ox of former , and cannot be so good as the h of an older animal.

The covering should be worked in around the stems so that the wind may not take it off readily, and that all may receive a share of the covering, John J. Moore, of Plainfield, Ind., de- livered an address before the Hendricks County (Ind:) association, 1n which he gave it as his judgment, based on ob- servation and experience, that it is not Emflmbls for any farmer to engage in reeding and training fast horses, and trying to farm at thesame time. Draft hovses, he thought, pay well, and could be raised much cheaper than cattle, and at much more profit. *'It is the experi- ence 0( all who_ have bred and raised horses, id Mr. Moore, “‘that they are always on the market at good, steady, ices, and the farmer is not even required to have them broken, ex- cept to halter.” The draft horse was the subject of many papers at farmers’ institutes this winter, and the fast horse men mo longer monopolize attention. There is a general desire to improve the grado, and in many parts of the west farmers club together to buy an im- ported draft stallion, each having several maves to breed. =By this means the best class of stallions is obtained, and the improvement in the quality of the horses becomes marked in a short time. Goose Farming. From the number of inquiriesthat we receive concorning geese there must surely be a general, wakening on that suluuvt. It has not,come any too soon. Geese are surely!the most profitable fowl the farmer can raise, and are es- pecially adapted o’ large farms and where one desires to raise fowls in large numbers. Thero nggd be no expensive buildings erected for them, nor yards fenced in with high<priced fencing. for they can be kept auywhere that a hog can, and need very little care. Allthat a fiock of geese need for at least nine months of the year is plenty of pasture and water. The almost worthless hill- sides and waste places that we see on too many farms might be made the most profitable ones by herding a flock of geese upon them. The number of geese that these places iould support would have to be dgtvrmdn.d by experiment, but it is safe to say thut any farmer who knows nothing about goose farming would be almost horrified to know how much money he has lost in the past by not rearing geese. As a family fowl, there is nothing that beats geese ver badly.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Scores Another Substantial Advance and Remains Firm. THE SHORTS GET FRIGHTENED. Corn Strong Throughout the Session— Active Trading In Onts—Provie sions Considerably Weaker ~Cnttle Slow, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnicaco, April 16.—[Speclal Telogram to the Brr.]—There was another sharp ad- vance in wheat to-day and a large proportion of it was maintained, It was not so miuch any new thing that causoed it as the growing conviction that some of the old and disre- garded news was really worth attention. The condition of the winter wheat crop seets to be the governing factor in the situation and the belief that the condition is not good. .Some tof the speculative houses employ agents to travel through thd country and re- port upon the condition. Tt was the word which came from these men counfirming and oven excoeding former reports which fright- ened the shorts this morning, Moreover some influence is felt in buying orders from the country which were more numerous to- day than for many weeks past. The decrease of 61,000 bushels in the visible ‘supply was rather less than tho majority of the trado expocted and helped a later roaction some- what. May wheat opened at 795¢c, which was 3¢ higher than Saturday’s close, and after selling at 703@79%c advanced almost without a halt to §1c, dropped back to $03¢c, advanced to Stc. fell slowly until 803ge was touched, and the fluotuations thereafterwero between 803¢c and 80%e, both points being touched several times. The 1 o'clock closo wasat S0}de. June wheat opened at Stige, sold at Slc then up to 8¢ and closed at 1 o'clock at 81ige. There were a considerable number of buy- ing orders in corn at the opening, and they, with the demand from the shorts, soon caused an advance of lc from Saturday's closing price. Cables on corn were unusually strong, and the corner in New York was said to be a complote success. These wera the bullish features, but so far as immediate local influences were concerned the pressure on the shorts secmed to be easing up a little since the receipts were larger than estimated and the proportion of contract grade much larger. There was considerable realizing by the longs, but a good demand from the shorts prevented any considerable decline at any ime. May corn opened at b5c, or 3o higher than Saturday’s closing price, aud directly advanced to d6gc, and after a re- action to Blc, touched bl@36c, then slowly wo ed down with frequent small re- , advanced to 56%@s64e, fell o and closed ot 1 o'clock & bbo pekod, June corn opened at 54370 bid, sold up to 533 ge, and closed at 1 o'clock at 5bige. “There was an active speculative trade in oats, chiofly in the nearer deliveries, which scored a_fair advance. There was nho dis tinctive feature to the market, price fluctua- tions being guided by those of corn. May oats opom-d at 825(c, whic abov, Ko an 230, June. , sold at 82c and 82 closing at July oats ranged from to 82ie, and August oats from 23%;c m»u;o Thic provision trade failed to sympathizo with grain.
