THE RENSSELAER REPUBLICAN.

IT CHANGES ITS NAME.

The United States National Bank Reor. ganized Under the Name of the Columbia National Bank of Chicago. [Chicago Times, Feb. 15.] Monday morning of this week the Colombia National bank of Chicago will open its doors to the public under an entirely new management with a paid-in capital of $1,000,000. The Columbia succteds to the business and surplus of the United States National bank, which has been in operation for a period of three years with rooms and offices in the Phenix building, 138 Jackson street. The reorganization of the bank brings to its support a number of our well-known business men and financiers, many of whom will iake an active part in the management. Mr. Everingham, its newly elected president, has been identified with the grain and commission business and a member of the board of trade since 1865, a business which in many respects resembles in character that of banking. Mr. Everingham is eminently qualifiedif or the responsible position he nas been called upon to fill; a gentleman of broad experience, affable in manner, and with well defined executive abilities—traits that are sure to commend themselves to the general public and at the same time gain the respect of his fellow bank presidents.— For the position of vice-president the bank directors have made an excellent choice in the naming of Col. W. G. Bentley, who for nearly twenty years has held the position of general manager of the Continental Fixe Insurance company of New York, a position he has lately resigned so as to enable him to give his entire attention to the banking business. In connection with the insurance management Colonel Bentley has been brought prominently before the public as an attorney-at-law, and brings with him a wide expo, rience and an extended acquaintance in both branches of business. ZimriDwiggins, who fills the important position of cashier in the Columbia, is too well known to the banking fraternity of Chicago to require any extended comment)in the way of introduction in this connection. As president of the United States bank he fully demonstrated his ability as an executive banking officer and able financier. He brings to the new bank years of experience, and will be ably assisted by J. T. Green, who wiil hold the position of assistant cashier. In the reorganization of the bank the capital stock was increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000, fully paid in. The new board of directors represents a number of Chicago’s most prominent capitalists and business men. This last taken in connection with its able executive management and increased capital places the Columbia at the very start among the strong financial institutions of the city.

Peterson stands in the front rank’of periodicals for ladies and families. It is not possible to speak too highly in its favor. There is nothin that can contribute to the comfor and pleasure of home which is not to be found in its pages. Its literary matter is always of a high order of merit, and is furnished by writers of superior talent and established reputation. The March number is an admirable illustration of the excellence and variety of its contents. There are two capital illustrated articles, one on “Housekeeping in India,” and another on “The Little Queen of Holland,” besides illustrated stories and poems, novelets k and miscellaneous papers. There is a profusion of fine full page engravings and an entirely new departure in the double fashion Plate which cannot fail to be exceedingly popular.— Peterson in its fiftieth year is fresher, brighter and handsomer than ever. We cannot too warmly recommend it as a periodical which will meet the tastes of the entire household. Terms, Two Dollars a year. Address, Peterson’s Magazine, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa-

HAVE PRICES ADVANCED?

The Effect the McKinley Tariff Has Had Upon Them, [Dry Goods Economist,] The|discussion*over McKinley prices has again broken cut in the daily press with some degree of the old bitterness, andon the pait of the Republicans with a new confidence in the strength of their position. The claim is put forward with agressiveness by the friends of the new tariff, that speaking broadly, it has not inore .sod prices and will not do so, and the Democratic press are summoned to ad nit their mistakes and deceptions. Looking at this matter from a calm and practical standpoint, within trade lines, the situation is a very interesting one - The first effect of the tariff, according tp its loudly proclaimed design, was to rais > prices ana to check imports. The attempt was successful, at least with re gara to prices. There was throughout the country a general advance, corresponding roughly to the advance in the tariff rales. But at this point the progiam broke down. The people declined to pay the higher prices. They rejected the whole scheme, and rising* in their wrath, they svept from power the politicians who bad fastened the obnoxious law ou the statute books. They then turned to the merchants, with equal determination warned them that they would not pay higher prices. Admonished by the disaster which had engulfed the politicians, the meroh ants considered the situation very soberly. The universal complaint came up that customers would not pay the new prices. If buyers could not get the goods at ose place at the old rates, they would seek other channels, and the wholesale trade found that to insist upon the new scale meant the taking of big risks with their customers. At this point three conservative elements came into play. Rather than turn away a good customer, the merchant consented, first, to waive his usual profit; second, to put his wits to work to devise a substitute for goods heretofore sold at certain rates that would satißjy the consumer without

being of quite equal value; third, he practiced economies of various sorts in the production and cost of the merchandise to him. To take such an example as embroidery: The effect of the new tariff has been to bring into the market several novelties that give the effect of value without an actual expenditure of cost in the manufacture. So in imported hosiery, we still have what is known in the trade as the “twenty-five cent stocking,” but in quality and workmanship it is inferior. It has been adroitly cheapened. The customer gets the article at the old price, but it is not as good, and no advertising lies can make it as good. Of course, in many articles there is no pretence that prices are the same for the same quality, as before the new tariff went into effect With regard to other articles, there is no pretence that the new goods which will come into the market later on in the year, will be held at the same prices as before. With regard to articles that have not been materially affected bf the tariff, as, for instance, silks and cottons, the keen competition of trade had made it impossible for avarieious merchants longer to fool the public, so that prices, after an artificial increase, have fallen to their normal and proper level again. All these features nave been carefully analyzed, and many of them have been predicted by this paper, Some months ago we laid speccial stress on the risk a merchant ran by marking up goods which were bought before the new tariff, or which were not affected by it. Our advice in this matter has been amply verified by the facts. We also indicated how manufactures would skillfully cheapen their goods so as seemingly not to increase prices.— This has been done in very many cases. We also have maintained that on very many articles the prices would necessarily be increased by the tariff. This also has occurred, and it is utter nonsense for the partisan press to deny it.

On Sunday evening last information reached Rensselaer that ex- heriff John Ulrey, of Newton county, had that afternoon emptied the contents of a revolver into the head, neck and hands of “Ben" Smoot, his brother-in-law, at Julian, where the parties reside. Five shots hit Smoot —one back of his neck, two in the head and two in the hand. Smoot’s story is that he;had been sent for by Mrs. Ulrey, his sister, to play a game of cai ds, and s< am after reaching there. Ulrey revolver and opened fire on him, and this we are informed is confirmed by Mrs. Ulrey. Dr. V. E. Loughridge, of this place, was. sent for nd dressed the wounds which are said to be not necessarily fatal. Ulrey went to Kentland and Justice Heilman put him under bonds of SSOO for his appearance in Circuit Court. What the provocation, if any, is unknown at present, but may come to light when the case is put to trial.

It is amusing to read the comments of the late tariff organs, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, on thp reciprocity treaty with Brazil, ' They all agree that it is jnst the thing that the people of the United States want. Precisely. But what is reciprocity? Either free trade pure md simple, or trade with but the minimum of restrictions. And yet these same apostles in the vvry next breath teach us that free trade is certain death to the interests of tho United States. The American farmer has been com, plaining f or a long time tfeat be has to sell in a frep trade market and buy ip a protected one, while exactly the reverse is the situation with the manufacturer. The Democrats and Independents in iho South Dakota legislature eleoted Jas. H. Kyle tp t e U. 8. Senate, in place of Moody, Republican. Senator Kyle is op posed to McKinley tariffs, Force bills’ Gag rules, etc., etc. ' Upon the theory that all druggists sell whiskey upon the asking for it, the Lsgis. lature proposes to make druggists pay a license fee of $l5O a year. If an attempt is made at the close of the present Congress to adopt complimentary resolutions for Speaker Reed, we trust Democratic Representatives wil give it a black eye. He is deserving only the severest censure. The officers-elect in this State sought nominations and labored for sueces with the declaration in all party platforms that fees and salaries would be reduce 1 in compliance with the demands of tU people.
