©he democrat N. RLAOKBUnW, Proprietor. FRIDA T. JUNE 5, IS9I. According to the census reports of 1890 there are nine millions of mortgages in the United States. Can they, like the National debt be called a National blessing? They may be a blessing to those holding them, but to the ones who have thoni to pay tlmy afe like coals of tire heaped upon them, they are drawing interest while they sleep, and are knawing at the substance of ihfe of the farmer continually, whether at work or asleep. They are robbing him of his hard earned money, like the tariff, never cease to be robbing the poor and needy for the benefit of the men who -make their money by the sweat of their brow, who never know what it is to want but are continually grasping '. „ .for all that is in sight, that they may the more systematically rob those who th’ey have m their clutches, they are like the leaches, they are never satisfied, they scheme to work legislatures, courts and every person so that they may the more systematically rob the -ones in the power. The string ot figures, the interest on that amount represents is such that it will take a person engaged in business of that kind to name the amount, and the actual amount that the nine million represents will hardly ever be properly given for fear the community will not be able to comprehend the vast amount. Reed’s billion dollar Congress will put the Democrat’s Congress to their wits and to find away to pay < the large amounts that will be necessary to pay the present deficit, and the amount, 4bat will be Contracted before they meet, and can do auy business. It may take about the entire session to provide for the squandering Congress of Reed’s and the party of schemes, jobs and plundering. All the entrenchments that can be brought into effect will not be sufficient to place the government in the condition it was when the g. o. p. took the reins under? this administration. Tub Reformed Presbyterian church assembly, in session at Pittsburg, Pa., doesn’t intend to be forgotten iir~tije excitement. It has •expelled Dr. McClurkin, and suspended . Rev. S. A. George, and Rev. R. Clyde, of lowa, an<F among other acts passed by them they have declared against all secret organizations as dangerous to the welfare of this country, and to that end have appointed a committee to draft a proper section of law to amend their constitution and bylaws. Should that be done there will be a rattling of dry bones. Republican newspapers are painfully silent on the deficit question dn the pension department, while they may transfer money from i •some other department to pay pen--eions, the deficit stilt exists, and will until the next congress makes 4ome provision to pay the same.

DISTRIBUTION OF TIIE ACTS. County Clerk Hale has received Adams county’s quota of the acts passed by the last legislature and is now distributing them as the law directs. In regard to the injunction suit to restrain the secretary of state from distributing them, the Indianapolis News "says: “The ground on which the injunction was based, has possibly been very neatly and expeditiously cut away by the "Secretary distributing the volumes before the case came up for hearing. When the suit was filed the laws were almost ready for distribution. Instead of asking for a temporary restraining order at once, the plaintiffs allowed the matter to lie until tomorrow, the day set by the court for a bearing. “Then the secretary of state and state printer began to ‘hustle,’ and last Friday shipped the laws to many of the counties, this morning the copies which are Marion county’s quota were received by County Clerk Wilson. It is held by Attor-ney-General Smith and other lawyers who have expressed opinions that this distribution of the laws removes ail possibility of a restraining order, as, they assert, there is nothing now to restrain. The attorneygeneral holds, too, that the changing of the gerrymander law by the secretary of state does not invalidate the law, and was an act justified by long practice and precedent, so that even were the laws still undistributed there would be no cause for injunction. “There are those, who hold different opinions and are not ready to accept at once the theory that there are no grounds for a restraining order. County Clerk Wilson says it is not clear to him yet j ust what the case is. He noted the exact time at which the laws came to his office, that it may be used in the c&sp if desired. The governor has a whack at tb 1% business. He cannot prochpjn the laws in force before they are legally so. It is surmised that he will issue his proclamation in a few days regardless of the pending litigation.” Tiie graves of the Confederate soldiers on Johnson’s Island, near feianjusky, 0., were decorated Saturday by Sandusky people. I. F. Mack, of the Register in introducing the orator of the day, said: “We have gather* d to do honor to the HMinorv of the Confederate dead and decorate tlit?ir graves, not to honor the cause for which they £j3ve tlieir lives, but their r v.ry as soldiers/*

A CANDID PL O UGHMAKEB. lii reply to inquiries from the Boston Home Market Club, Mr. A. B. Farquahar, of the Farquahar manufacturing firm of York, Pa., gives a series of striking illustrations of the workings of the Home Market theory that, as a means of enriching everybody, everything in the Home Market should be taxed. Mr. Farquahar makes ploughs. Some of them he sells to the farmers of South America, some to the farmers of Illinois, lowa and Kansas.

He makes no pretense whatever that under -the McKinley bill he sells as cheap to the North American farmer as to the South American. On the contrary, he shows that it is impossible to do so. “It is quite true,” he writes over his signature, “that our firm sell implements and machinery through Mexico, South America and Africa at from G to 10 percent less than they are sold for in 1 his country.” “The manufacturer,” he adds, “who can export his goods can have no use for protection except to enable him to extort more money from bom# purchasers than he is able to get abroad.” About one-half of the product of this firm is sold in the United States at McKinley prices, the other half abroad at sto 10 percent less. In explaining how the McKinley bill gives foreigners the benefit of this discrimination, he writes: ThiH—The reason we do not get as good p: Ices abroad as at home is that we have to compete with countries haying the grt at advan’age ot free raw material in their manufactures and the further advantage of better transportation facilities. Great Britain, in pursuance ot her free trade policj’, has for years been extending her foreign commerce; while we, pursuing an opposite policy, have left her in full possession. The Clyde shipyards are open to every European investor who wishes to start a line of steamers, while we must satisfy ourselves with vessels bui t at a dozen disadvantages. Fourth—Yes, we sell a few goods in England, France and Germany, but they are made especially for those markets, and it would be rather hard to compare the prices with the American. They undoubtedly av. rage lower for goods of similar construction. Fifth—The value of the raw material in a plough certainly averages mote than hah its total cost. We manufacture thousands of four-horse ploughs^for instance, for the African market, weighing lulltrimmed, with draught rod, wheel, cutter, two extra shares,” boxed, about 200 pounds each. This plough is delivered on board vessels in New York for less than $5 —about the cost it the material in it is purchased at retail prices. Handles ami beam ?i 00 Steel and iron '.... a 00 Boxing, freight, etc 55 T0ta1..... $355 —leaving about *1 lor cost of labor and protit. Sixth—l he duty on our implements and machinery is not relatively higher than upon other manufactures. I need not enlarge upon this, but may respectful lv refer you to the “tariff schedule of 1890.” Seventh—l would unhesitatingly favor a repeal of the duty on all the manufactured goods we make. Since we can and do export, the duty can be of no possible service 5 , and since it tends to provoke retaliation, we find it a serious obstacle. Reciprocity treatise covering our goods are acceptable to us. / Eighth—l do believe that American 1 manufacturers generally would be able to sell more goods abroad than now if they bad free raw material. The importation of this material would of itself stifhulate a demand for American products abroad. It is difficult to estimate the percentage, but I should expect an increase of at least 25 percent. However disgusting these answers may be to the Home Market Club, they ought to be highly satisfactory to the Western farmers who wish to know why American ploughs and other implements are sold cheaper to foreigners than to Americans. As long as the McKinley bill is in force this is the only way they can be sold to foreigners at all.— St. Lou<>e Republican.
