GOING SLOW.
It IS Unusually Dull at
National Capital,
Work In Both Houses of .Con
gress Dragging Along.
Looks as If the Present Session Will
Be Extended to August,
WASHINGTON, April 23, —[Special. }—The
national capial is degenerating into a
dullness that is almost like that of mid
summer. With the house in short session
only two days u week, the senate droning
along without very much doing and Pres
ldent McKinley going provokingly slow in
the matter of appointments to office, things
are becoming quite monotonous. After a
time they will be much lHvelier. The tariff
bill will be up in the senate, and there
will be some sharp debating. In a few
days Senator Morgan promises to call up
his resolution for the recognition of the
Independence of Cuba, and this is sure to
€tir up the animals. Then there is a pros
pect that after a bit Speaker Reed will
conclude to appoint the committees of the
house and permit that body to go to work
Lo some extent, though at a very leisurely
pace. Kvery one in Washington at all fa
miliar with the situation is making pre
parations to stay here till August,
Trouble Over the Rates,
The senateo finance committoe is making
fair progress in its revision of the Dingley
bill. While there are a great many amend
ments I am told they are not of great im
portance, The difficulty in putting rates
up or down I have already explained in
this correspondence. There are too many
interests well represented here, too many
influential men fighting one anether, to
secure much of a movement one way or
the other as to those things which enter
into the life of trade. The scnate commit
teo likes, however, to bave it said that it has
remodeled the bill, It likes the sound of
Yl5O senate amendments,’’ so that writers
for the press can dilate upon the manner
in which the upper branch has taken the
house bill and turned it inside out. The
number of amendments counts for a good
deal in the minds of ordinary observers,
irrespective of their actual importance.
The senate amendments will be very nu
merous. Many of them, however, are mere
matters of language and others are trivial.
There has been quite a competition for
places upon the finance committee of the
scnate. Mr. Hanna and Mr. Burrows of
the west and Mr. Platt and Mr. Sewell of
the east have been ambitious for place up
on this important committee, without
doubt the most important and influential
in the senate. Quite a good deal of feeling
has been worked up between the rivals,
especially Platt of New York and Hanna,
though it hae all been good humored.
A Bold, Bad Senator,
In this connection there is a good story
on Senator Burrows, which no one enjoys
better than the senator from Michigan him
self. At the recent Republican senatorial
mucus one of Mr, Burrows' friends, and
he has as many of them as any man I
know, suggested as a reason why Mr, Bur
rows should go upon the finance committee
was that he had as a member of the lower
house served on the ways and means com
mittee and helped frame the McKinley
tarifl bill,
“Well,"”" said one bold, bad senator, ‘‘if
Mr. Burrows has sat in the lower house
and served upon the ways and means com -
wittee he ought by this time to under
stand the constitutional provision which
requires revenue bills to originate in the
nouse of representatives,’’
This was twitting on facts, for not long
ago Mr. Burrows in an absentminded mo
ment actually introduced a tariff bill in
the senate. All the other senators are jok
ing Mr. Burrows about his tariff hill.
Scarecly a day passes that President Me-
Kinley does not have as guest at luncheon
or dinner one or more of his old friends
from Canton. The Canton people who
come to Washington are very proud of
their townsmen, the president, and they
are also very proud that he does not forget
his old neighbors now that he has become
the ohief magistrate. ‘‘That is the sort of
a president v have,” said one of them to
me. ““Why, Major McKinley is just the
same man he always was. He treats us
Just as he used to when he was a congress
mwan, or even when he was our prosecuting
attorney. He is the greatest man you ever
saw to remember all the old folks and all
the children, and all the relations at home,
and he always wants to know how they
are getting on. Youn can't help liking a
man like that. Around the White House
the employees tell me every one idolizes
him Heis so kind and cheery to them
all. But I wish the major wouldn't work
g 0 hard. It is beginning to show on him,
Ile 15 not as strong as he was when he left
Canten to take np the cares of state, and
when we come down here and ru&ln to
#ce him after not baving laid eyes on him
for a couple of months we notice the
change. We tell him to pull up too, and
he promises todo it. But I'll wager he
won't as long as there is a man, woman |
or child that wants to see him,"'
Sons of the Rich Only, ‘
It is getting to be quite the fashion in
this country, just as it is abroad, to ap
point the young sons of rich men to the
secretaryships and assistant seeretaryships
of our legations and embassics abroad. 1
askcd one of our new foreign ministers
why this was so, and he paused to explain.
“Well, you see,” sald he, ““the demands
upon a minister or embassador are gery
great at the place of his official residence.
Awericans are great travelers. Every day
there are a lot of ecallers at the embassy or
Vegation They have a pretty good opinion
of themselves ton. They want to be enter
trincd They have read of the big salaries
which we pay our foreign representatives,
and they think it only fair they should be
askad out to dinner. They like to say
when they get home that they were enter
tained by Embassador So and So or Min
fster Such and Sueh Toentertainall these
people, or even those whose oflicial or so
clal rank entitles them to attention. is too
much of a strain on the minister So he
eontrives, if he knows his business, to have
a secretary who can take a certain grade of
these Americans g his hands. These gre
the lower strata of the dinner people. Then
there are Americans traveling without
wives—or other lndies—young fellows We
turn these over to the assistant secretary.
He s expected to show them the town. Dy
dividing up the task we ‘manage to get
along very well with It, But it takes mon
sy, and for this reuson experienced diplo
matists try to have sppointed as thelr seo
rotarics and assistant secretaries young
wen who do not hesitate about spending
gmore than their income. "’
WALTER WELLMAN,
"HOLMAN DEAD,
“Wat shdog of the Treasury” Served Six.
teen Terms In Congress,
Washington, April 23.—Representative
Holman of indiana dled yesterday.
Death was due primarily to a fall he
sustained early this month, as the result
of an attack of vertigo, At the deathhed
were gaghered his four children, Mrs.
R. E. Fletcher, W, 8. Holman, Jr.,, Mrs.
Fred Harvey and Paul Holman, all of
LLkis city,
WILLIAM 8. FOLMAN.
Willlam Steele Holman would have
passed the three-quarter of a century
mark had he lived until next September,
and his career s remarkable for the
large proportion of his life given up to
the service of the public, No living man
and few men dead have a record of 16
terms in the house of representatives,
In all, 64 years of his life was spent in
some public capacity.
As the “Watchdog of the Treasury"
he was best known to the American peo
ple. The policy of strict economy pur
gued by him when in charge of appro
priation bills has heen followed so long
that it has become to be regarded as one
of the party tenets,
Mr. Holman was born in Indiana, in
the country, at a little ploneer home
stead in Dearborn county, called Vera
estau, In September, 1822, He had a
common school education, supplemented
by a two years' course In Franklin col
lege, Indiana. Then he taught school
and practiced law until 1843, when, at
the age of 21 years, he entered the publie
service as probate judge. He was pros
ecuting attorney from 1847 to 1849. In.
1851 he entered the legislature, and from
1352 to 1866 he was judge of common
pleas.
His congressional career began with
the Thirty-sixth congress, and out of the
20 congresses that have elapsed since
that time he has been absent from only
four, namely, the Thirty-ninth, Forty
fifth, Forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth, an
almost unparalleled record.
RETREAT CUT OFF,
Five Hundred Negroes Huddled Together
on Railroad Grade In Mississippi,
Greenville, Miss., April 23.—The latest
news from the Promised Land break
in Issaquena county estimates the cre
vasse Lo be nearly 400 feet wide, water
pouring through in heavy torrents, six
or eight feet deep. Backwater is ris
ing with startling rapidity, the country
being already overflowed.
A message from Daleshed, B. Dunca’'s
plantation, six riiles above the crevasse,
pays the backwater rose one foot three
Indhes Wednesday night, and that all
dry spots are rapidly disappearing.
Great loss of mules and cattle has re
gu'ted, and it is feared that human life
has already been lost in the Steele bayou
country, where people believed them
gelves safe from any further rise. o
Dr. J. D. Tombs of this city, a prom
fnent physician and planter, made a trip
cut in Bogue country, 25 miles north
east of here, and brings back deplor
able accounts of the condition there,
He says that 500 negores, men, women
and children, are huddled together with
starving horses, mules, hogs, poultry,
cats and dogs, on a plece of raiircad
grade. They are boing looked after by
no one, and have starvation rations to
keep them four or five days only. They
have no tents, and their only shelter is
a patchwork of rags stretched on poles
and walled in with crossties,
A grade is cut through by the water
above and below them, and they are
literally surrounded by an ocean of
water from 20 to 25 feet deep.
Bay State Lawmnkers,
PBoston, April 23.—~1n the senate yes
terday a bill authorizing the granting
of licenses to dealers in paints and deal
ers of chemicals, for the sale of pure
alcohgl, was introduced. This bill is
framed to overcome the governor's veto
of a similar bill, which, however, did not
require a license to sell, The rules were
suspended to admit the resolution adopt
ed by the Boston Medical society favor
ing a state board of insanity. In the
house the joint committee on judiciary
reported an act authorizing the appoint
ment of a committee of three to draft
and prepare an act embodying the prin
ciples of the Torrens system of land
transfer. This commission i& to be ap
pointed by the governor, with the con
gent of the councll, and is to report on
or before the first Wednesday in Feb
ruary, 1898, The compensation is left
with the governor and council, The
house committee on roads and bridges
has reported a bill for the operation of
horseless or motor carriages in the pub
lle streets, The measure is simply de
claratory, and does not provide regu
lations for running such vehicles, or
gpecify that bells must be usged on them,
as proposed in some of the bills pre
sented, The debate on the mill tax
Lill, the project for a state appropriation
for the support of pubiie gchools, was
resumed, and the bill was ordered two
& third reading.
Fast Day In New Hampshire,
Concord, N. H.. April 23.—Notwith
gtanding the fact that Governor George
A. Ranmsdell proclaimed yesterday as
Fast day, with decided aversion, the day
was more generally oluerwdxl this city
than for years. To the contrary, other
places in the state observed it less,and at
Dartmouth college studies were con
tinued as usual. An interesting incident
cropped out during the unlon religious
pervices, when Rev., Roland D. Grant,
acting pastor of the First Baptistchurch,
devoted atiention to the United States
scnate In his sermon. Among other
things, Mr. Grant said: ‘““The United
States senate s today the representative
of trusts that are grinding the poor. The
main question for congressmen ig, how
they can best hold their jobe? Our whole
political system is, first of all, an ex
periment, and next, a nuisance. Here in
New Hampshire, the Boston and Maine
rallroad owns the state, bady and soul.”
THE NEWS. PROVIDENCE. R. 1. FRIDAY. APRIT, 23. 1897. -
“MORE MONEY” CRY.
It Comes From Farmers, Who Have
a Real Monetary Grievance.
They May Be Mistaken as to the Cause
and Remedy,
Upon tracing the movement for a
larger volume of circulation back for a
score of years it will be found that it
has invariably manifested greatest
strength in the agricultural sections of
the country. Obviously, then, we must
seck for the underlying causes in these
communities,
When the snbject is analyzed, it will
be observed that the ground for discon
tent at existing conditions lies in the
fact that notwithstanding greatly im
proved means of production, notwith
standing greater facilities and materi
ally reduced rates for the transporta
tion and distribution of products, the
agriculturist, vpon whom so large a
part of our economic system is depend
ent, finds himself, generally speaking,
after a ton\‘vmnut’z of hard work, no
farther ahead than at the beginning of
the year, and in many instances his
status is worse. Through the failure to
make a proportionate income he has not
been able to reduce, but has, in fact,
foncreased his money obligations,
It is not maintained that such is the
ecase throughout the land, nor are all
agriculturists entitled to equal credit
for care and economy. Many cases there
are, doubtless, where sympathy is not
deserved, but in most of the communi
tics where discontent prevails the rea
son here given is the true one, the dis
sertations of self satisfied theorists to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Numerous examinations made by
painstaking investigators warrant the
statement that the unequal distribution
of capital and of money and the conse
quent gross inequality in interest rates
are the chief cause of the inability to
carry on the important business of agri
culture profitably.
The sections of the country polling
the largest silver vote in 1806 have,
generally speaking, insufficient credit
facilities, The small farmer who, ad
vancing from the condition of farm la
borer, secks a larger measure of inde
pendence and greater comforts for his
family, is not only compelled to mort
gage his realty, frequently at rates as
high as 156 per cent, but is under the
necessity of borrowing upon his pro
spective crop. Having no banking office
to call upon, he turus to the storckeep
er, who extends eredit for the needed
supplies and taxes the borrower first for
interest upon the loan, second in the
way of increased prices for staples fur
nished and finally in the way of dis
counts or commissions upon the product
of the farm turped in as payment,
These items not infrequently aggregate
80 per cent upon the actual credit ex
tended, aud in a very large number of
cases the total exceeds 20 per cent.,
It is perhaps unnecessary to add that
business of any kind under such condi
tions wonld be unpofitable,
Is it, then, surprising when the agri
culturist, who knows little relatively of
the prineiples of sound finance, imagines
that an increase in the volume of money
would benefit him? Is it to be wondered
at, when he hears or reads of money go
ing begging at 2 per cent in the metrop
olis, he fancics that, by some hocus
pocus, Wall street is constantly striving
to grind him down? L |
It is our business to teach him other
wise; to teach him that the prosperity
of the commercial centers is closely in
terwoven with his—is, in fact, largely
dependent upon his welfare—but the
lesson can only be brought home to him
by the introduction of means through
which his own prosperity shi#ll be as
sured, For, even as it is impossible to
interest a starving man in the plan of
salvation, so the debt ridden farmer can
only acquire faith in our views of sound
finance when relieved of his present on
erous burdens. To him a system which
operates so uncqually as the existing
one does must appear not only unsound,
but absolutely tyrannical. Any change,
he feels, wounld be for the better., Con
sequently the gsonthern farmer demand
ed the reipstatement of the state bank
note system four years ago, and last
year the free coinage of silver appeared
to him the best solution of the difficulty,
The remedy is manifestly not to be
found in any form of inflation of our
circulation, but in providing by legisla
tion or otherwise increased credit facili
ties, both for long term loans upon
mortgages and short term eredits upon
crops, and a better distribution of the
cirenlation which we have.
In this, as in many other matters, we
must refer for guidance to human expe
rience elsewhere, In no country has the
eystem of advancing short time credits
to agriculturists reached the high state
of development which is found in Scot
land. The Scotch banker has learned
that the farmer is, under a well guard
ed system, as fairly entitled to credits
to flsat his veuture as the merchant or
the manufacturer,
Seotland hoas one banking firm for
each 4,000 of population and a ratio of
banking ecapital to total resources of
banks of Ito 12, By this economy in
the use of capital the banks are able to
declare dividends averaging fully 10
per cent while giving eredits ordinarily
at rates rarely exceeding 4 per cent,
and every hamlet in the kingdom has a
banking office within its limits or in its
immediate vicinity, * # =
Taking the states of Alabama, Missis
sippi and Arkausas as an example, it
will be found that these have about
$,000,000 population and 171 banking
institutions, including private bankers,
with o total capital of 17,000,000 to
tal resources, §40,000,000, or a ratio of
eapital to resonrces about 1 to 2 1.3,
and oue banking office to 23,000 of pop
ulation,
The reason for exorbitant interest
rates in tho last mentioned section is
obvions. And it will continue to exist
unless some means of economizing cap
ital, a= is done in Scotland, is provided
and the storekecper is compelled by
competition to reduce ratea. The comp
troller of the carrency, in_his annual
report for 1806, presents a table show
ing the bauking power of the several
states and territories, from which the
following abstract is compiled, to illus
trate this point more forcibly:

18 western states, 54.50 1.8 86.57
4 Pacific states. ~ 46.58 - 20,00 78.07
The great disparity between the
banking facilities is seen at a glance,
The six New England stoates, with an
estimated population (1896) of 5,200,
000, possess nearly $79 per capita; the
13 southern states, with 20,000,000
population, show barely §lB per capita,
or 22 per cent of the former. Including
savings banks and loan and trust com
panies the ratio is materially reduced,
the south showing only 7 per cent of the
amount given for New England. An
alyzing the items given in the last col
umn, as stated in the comptroller’s ta
ble, it is found that the states and ter
ritories representing 70 per cent of the
population bave less than 83 per cent of
the entire banking power, estimated at
§6,700,000,000, —Maurice L. Muhleman
in New York Herald.
“Free Coinage” Demand Is Misleading.
If any advocate of the free coinage of
gilver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, 16 to 1, more or
less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, I for one am prepared to
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest, ' Who would want them?
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
““equal rights of gold and silver'" are all
that he wants. 1 challenge uny one to
find an advocate of free coinage at 16 to
1 on these simple terms—that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that
both gold and silver coins ghall be made
for any one who takes the bullion to
the mint to any number that he wants,
I challenge any advocate of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and sim
ple, is not what he demands, and not
one of them will dare to meet this chai
lenge,
This demand for free coinage is a
coveréntended to conceal the true pur
pose of those who ask it, Most of those
who support this weasure have been de
ceived and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every candi
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
“If we grant free or unlimited coin
age, without charge for the coining,
will you demand nothing more?’ Not
& man who knows what the true pur
pose is will answer “Yes'' to that ques
tion. —Edward Atkinson.
