KINDLY THANKING our friends for

their Liberal Patronage, we wish to

ing. Briefly stated three-fourths of the oity populations live in rented houses, and in some citics and states it runs as high as 00 per cent. Of the remaining fourth, one-lialf own their homes, bnt under mortgage to their full credit value, that is, they are virtually tenants. This means that under the industrial feudalism now 1 developing, seven-eights of our city population are liable to be turned out of work at the end of the week, and with their families into the streets at the end of the month. The. condition of the agricult.uri.sts is but little better. One-third of tins fnrmers of the entire country arc tenants one-third own their farms, but under mortgage, to their fuil credit value, thus rendering them virtually tenants and only one-third own their acres free from debt. I

say that we shall try more than ever

It is of the utmost importance that this inquiry should be repeated every ten years, so that by comparison we may discover in which direction we arc moving. There is now before eongross a proposition to make the census bureau permanent by continuing six or seven heads of departments and the necessary stalt of clerks in place during the four intervening years, and employing them on collateral statistical work, forming an experienced nucleus around which to reorganize the bureau at the beginning of each decade. Hut the general law affecting this reform contains no provision for a repetition of the "homo and farm inquiry." By incorporating such a provision now, the inquiry will bo permanently established without any further legislation, and if a sufficient public demand were made, such a clause would be inserted in the bill. With a view to evoking such a demand, the Western Economic association of St.. Louis issues a second appeal to the people of the United

to give you the best of everything!

the Western Economic association of St. Louis appealed to tho voters of the United States to petition congress to have the eleventh census show the mortgage indebtedness and tenure of farms and homes, the argument being that_ such an inquiry would tend to give the ratio of the distribution of wealth.

WASHINGTON*, Jan. l',\—'J'lie re|^rt uf the minority of the house banking and currency committee ou the bih to re* pe«l the Sherman silver bullion purchase act was made to the hou??o by Representative Townsund (Col.). It is an argument in opposition to lie bill, which, it is charged, is intended to be a final step towards an absolute ffold standard in the United States and to suppress every effort at bimetallism. The minority say that to secure the support of the national bauks the bill allows them gratuitously to increase their present circulation about $15,000,000, and also gives them a bonus ou their preseut circulation of .?7.\000 a year by reducing the circulation tax. The report attacks the statement of facts given by the majority n§ the ground for its action and predicts that the repeal policy will produce widespread ruin. Figures are quoted to disprove the statement that the country is drifting to a silver basis, and the drain of gold is attributed to Knropean losses iu South America and to the Russian loan. The silver purchases have not affected the matter and to get American gold Europe has been paying a premium.
