IOWA IS PROSPEROUS
How J. P. Dolliver Talks About His
State's Prosperity.
Great Increnfte In H'collli Amon(
I'oriiifrn mid \VnK<* Kitrnera
One to Priced fur
I'linn Priillart*.
"lowa is brimful of prosperity this
year," said Hon. J. I*. Dolliver, mem
ber of congress from the Tenth district
of that, state.
"The factories out there have been
running sis they never ran before, re
ceipts for farm crops have been larger
during the last season than in any pre
vious season in the history of the state.
Money is abundant, debts are being
paid off, interest is lower, labor is well
employed, wages are better, and no
man need look for a job unless he wants
to take a vacation.
"In the last Ave years." continued
Mr. Dolliver, "there has been an in
crease of 80,000 bank depositors in our
state alone, and' the total amount of
the bank de-posits has increased!by
000,000. That money has been distrib
uted more among the farmers and wage
earners than among the business men,
is shown by the fact that both in the
savings banks andi the smaller state
banks the deposits have doubled, while
in the national banks the increase has
been about 75 per cent. Every man or
woman in lowa, w ho has a savings bank
account, has an average of $350 to his
or her credit. Taking the whole popu
lation of the state at 2,230,000, there is
$34 for each one of us on deposit in
our banks, so you see we have $s more
v fij,nn*a?''l"J ourr) "
ALL THE DONKEY HAS TO DO IS TO FOLLOW.
in our one state than the per capita
of circulation for the whole country.
"What has brought about this pros
perity'.' Why, the busy factories have
created a better demand for the farm
products. Yon know that it is tlia
home market that is the best for the
American producer, and: when people
are steady at work they have money to
spend, with which to buy what the
farmers grow. The more, factories we
can get out west, the better it wall be
for our farmers. Since * lie last dem
ocratic administration has become a
matter of history, the value of the live
stock on our farms has increased by
$45,000,000, that is to say in five years,
being now worth, according to the de
partment of agriculture's figures, SIGS,-
000,000, as compared with the total val
uation of $123,000,000 at the beginning
of 1595.
"Talking about factories: You re
member how the free traders ridiculed
the idea of making pearl buttons in
the United States? A duty was first
put on pearl buttons by the McKinley
tariff in 1892. Of course the Wilson
bill cut. this down and checked Ihe
growth of the business. But the Ding
ley tariff of 1897 again made another
effort to buildi up another American
industry. What was the result? There
are now upwards of 40 pearl button
factories in lowa. Shells from which
they are made are procured from the
river beds. There are nearly 1.500 peo
ple employed in the factories alone,
besides the hundreds of fishermen oc
cupied in getting the mussel shells,
and the people employed in making the
machinery for the factories. Indirect
ly, the merchants, draymen, transpor
tation companies, as well as the farm
ers, are benefited l by this one little in
dustry, which has been as successful
in its way as the greater American tin
plate industries, which were also in
augurated by the McKinley tariff of
1892.
"Another instance, and I may say, a
cause of the prosperity in lowa," con
tinued Mr. Dolliver, "is to be found in
the railroads. A large number of rail
road men live in our stale, and when
you consider that the railroads in the
country are now employing over 100,-
000 more men than they had in 1«95.
and arc paying out fully $60,000,000 a
year more in wages, you will see what
an important factor railroad prosper
ity is to the country, and prosper
ity is to the railroads. The roads made
good money last, year, but this has not
been at lire evp-ense of the farmers,
because freight rates are lower now
than they were five years ago. T am
within the mark when I say that there
was over '200.000;fMV) tons more "freight
carried by rail last year than in 1595.
"Stock in western railroads grad

pf the company. Take Iter- case of the
Illinois Central, which runs through
lowa, Thi re are now about 1,000 of its
employes who hold considerably over
3,000 shares of stock in that company.
An employe is offered the privilege of
subscribing for one share at a time.
This lie can pay for by installments in
sums of $5 or $lO or sls, and when one
share is paid for the owner has his
name registered on the books of the
company, when, if he wishes, he can
begin to buy another share on the in
stallment plan. While paying for his
stock the employe receives interest at
the rate of four per cent, per annum,
provided he does not allow 12 consecu
tive months to elapse without making
any payments at all. In case the em
ploye leaves the service of the com
pany he must either pay in full for the
share to which he has been subscrib
ing, or withdraw his money with the
interest that-is due thereon.
"This is an excellent system. It
gives the men a direct, personal inter
est i« the affairs of the company for
which they are working, and makes an
investment 'at a fair rate of interest for
their savings. Besides this, they be
come partners in one of the gigantic
corporations or trusts of the country,
and may be classed among those who
are decried by the democrats as being
capitalists, monopolists and extortion
ists. But the men out our way don't
mind what, they are called, as long as
they are well employed, with goodi
wages, have a mutual interest in the
ownership of the property for which
they are working, and can see a little l
capital accumulating every year f»r
their families. And,these tire condi
tions that exist in lowa to-day, both
among the railroad hands, the farmers
and the factory people. Business, of
course, is better for the merchants
and store keepers, and for these Tea
sons which I have been talking - about
lowa will give President -Me Kin ley a
bigger majority in 1000 than the state
in 15%."
I-'oreljgn Trade Fact*.
Figures of the bureau of statistics of
the treasury department show:
That we exported $43*459,765 more of
our own goods last April than we im
ported.
That we exported $30,130,000 more of
our goods in April this year than in
April, 1899.
That our exports were $135,048,857
greater in value in the ten months
ending with April, than in the corre
sponding' ten months of the last fiscal
year.
That our exports in the last ten
months were $455,495,141 greater than
our imports.
That, under the Dingley protective
tariff, the articles which we import
fr*e of duty were $70,000,000 greater in
value the last ten months than a year
ago.
That our total foreign trade for the
fiscal year ending June 30 next, will be
$300,000,000 larger than in the fiscal
year ending .Tune 30, 1899.
That our combined import and ex
port trade for this fiscal year is likely
to exceed two and a quarter billion
dollars, of which exports will be $1,407,-
000,000.
When \V> Buy Ilrcnil.
In 1894 there were only 231,-
848,596 bushels of wheat retained for
home consumption; in 1899 the quan
tity retained was 452,530,285 bushels.
In 1894 there were thousands of peo
ple too poor even to buy bread. In
1899 everybody could buy bread. These
two comparisons represent the differ
ent conditions of the country under
democratic and republican adminis
trations.
Corn ami Silver Vbliiob.
A bushel of corn wortn an ounce
of silver! Pretty near it. On May 7
corn was worth 45% cents a bushel
in the New York market. Silver was
worth 59% cents on the stune day. In
ISWS, at the time of llryanic prophe
cies as to free silver, corn was worth
only 21 y s cents on the farm. But it
lias kept on advancing in price undei
the gold standard.
Money In Idaho.
Idaho's bank deposits amounted to
$904,412 in 1894. Last year they were
SI .355.(,c,5. showing an Increase of $454,-
256 in live years. A belter demand
for lead and protected wooi were the
main factors in bringing about thus
prosperity under the republican ad
ministration.

Havana. June I.—Acting Director of
Posts Bristow says that Inspectors
Seyhold and Xeal, WHO reported on
April 2.'! that Xeely's accounts were
correct did so because they took Un
report of Reeves as a basis of judg
ment, u system regularly observed.
These inspectors point out that the
auditor's report was aiways taken as
a voucher at full value. Mr. Bristow
declares, however, that no man could
hate inspected Xeely's office without
being thoroughly convinced that the
gravest irregularities were being
committed. In his opinion Seybold
and Xeal were completely under the
influence of Xeely, wno seems to have
dominated the whole department of
posts. They have not yet, been dis
charged, as they may yet be needed.
lien. Wood had a long conversation
yesterday with Mr. Ones, the Ameri
can counsel, who has been detailed
especially for work in connection
with the frauds. \ orydon Rich was
brought down to the palace by the
detective who has him in charge, but
he did not furnish any information
beyond what was contained in the
statement to which he had already
sworn. Kieli, as well as Beeves, says
that another man profited to the ex
tent of at least $15,000, as an inves
tigation of mortgages paid off and of
other expenditures would prove, but
at present absolute evidence of this
is wanteds neither Hicn nor Beeves
swearing that he saw the individual
in question receive the money.
La Discussion has a bitter article
regarding Mr. Rathbone, in which it
says: vVe did not know that politi
cal economy required the object les
son of a minor omeial paying his
coachman, gardener and day laborer
out of the public funds."
Mr. Bristow yesterday issued an or
der more sweeping than any of its
predecessors, an order practically
completing the reorganization of pos
tal headquarters. Its financial reduc
tions aggregate $23,1U)0, making a, to
tal reduction of expeditures at head
quarters of more than $42,000. ine
special agents, n in number, who
have been getting $3,200 each, are cut
down to six, and their clerical force
is correspondingly diminished, the
salary of the chief clerk of the bu
reau being reduced from SI,BOO to
$1,600. The bureau of transportation
loses the services of one $1,200 clerk,
the translation bureau loses one
$1,400 clerk, the salary of the chief
clerk being reduced S2OO, and the bu
reau of dead letters is treated in the
same way. losing a clerk, while the
salary of its chief clerk is reduced.

Boston, June 1. —Messrs. Fischer.
Wolmarans and Wessels, the Boer
envoys, were received at the city hall
hefe Thursday by Mayor Hart and
subsequently Vailed at the state
house. The mayor alluded to the
day's news from South Africa, and
hoped that the adversity sustained by
the Boers might be for the best. Mr.
Fischer responded, affirming that all
he and his compatriots asked was for
justice. The envoys did not seem
greatly depressed by the news from
Johannesburg and Pretoria. Chair
man Fischer reiterated Ihe statement
that the war is by no means ended.
"Have you noticed," he asked a re
porter, "that the Fnglish forces have
not captured a single piece of artil
lery or any considerable munitions of
war from us since our men have been
executing their masteriy retreat?
This material hasn't ascended into
the air, nor has it gone up in Lord
Roberts' balloons, and the English
will find it out to their sorrow. Our
guns, supplies, etc., have been taken
along with our troops, and they will
yet be used effectually, if 1 am not
greatly mistaken.
" I lie fact that President Kruger
has retreated to Waterval Bovan and
that this is declared the capital of
our government shows that our peo
ple are still determined to win their
independence. Our capital is where
our president cnooses to make it.
"The fact that Lord Roberts an
nexed the Orange Free State the
other day means nothing. The Uni
ted States could annex Canada by
proclamation, but something more ef
fective would have to follow to make
it a fact."
Mr. Fischer said that President
Kruger would not surrender while
there was a bullock cart and 16 oxen
in the Transvaal to transport him
from place to place.
Amid a storm of applause a long
set of resolutions expressing sympa
thy with the South Afrioan republics
and calling upon the United States
government to represent to Great
Britain that this country is opposed
to the actions of England in the war
in South Africa were unanimously
adopted at the close of the reception
to the Boer envoys in Fanueil hall
last night.

"I'uder a form of government lilce

with that fact and in pursuance of

for tin* f'reventon of Crime, I write
to inquire of you as to your connec

you whether you hold stock in the
American Ice Co., or in any of the

that company.
"If you could hold such stock with
out compromising' your character
my inquiry might be unwarranted,
but the ice trust is a devilish scheme
for wringing shekels ojit of the poor
and speculating upon their distresses,
and no man, yourself or any other,
can become contemptible in his per

all the consideration otherwise due
him in his official capacity, particu
larly when, as in a position like your
own. the grand essential is personal
probity, dignity and a gracious shep
herding of the people whose interests
you are set to safeguard.
"The people want to know what
the facts are in the ease, and the
longer and more obstinately you

the construction that will be placed

Mew York, June 2. —It. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of t'rade says:
While returns of failures in May by
branches of business cannot be given
until next week, it can be stated that
no month in more than six years has
shown as large defaulted liabilities
as Mas will show, owing to the fail
ure of a firm principally engaged in
, otton brokt rage.
The most conspicuous feature of
domestic news is the steady progress
toward a lower level of prices fort h<*
chief materials of industry. Without
excitement and with very small sales
—it is believed the smallest ever re
corded in May in the three chief east
ern markets except in lh'.K; prices of
wool have declined so that quotations
average about 21.si emits, against
~4.T!.' at the highest point February 1.
Orders for boots and shoes have
been reduced much more than ship
ments. because many works had or
ders which are not yet exhausted.
The shipments in May have been
smaller than in any year since ISU2.
The decline in pig iron continues,
grey forge reaching $18.50 at Pitts
burg. Only small changes have ap
peared during the week in prices of
finished products, but these are to
ward lower tigures. There are state
ments that some of the properties
taken by the Steel Shed Co. have
been sold back to former owners,
and that properties of the Steel Hoop
Co. will be divided likewise, but it is
not surprising if a few out of so
many combinations result in the dis
appointment of some.
Failures for the week have been 110
in the United States, against 145 last
year, and 21 in Canada, against 14
last year.

In his history of New York , one of the*
classics of American authorship?, Died rick
Knickerbocker (Washington Irving) wrote
lovingly, yet with unctuous sarcatm, of the,
beauties ar:d tradition* of riin loved "Nicu.
Netherlands," the peaceful valley of the'
Hudson from Albany to Manhattan, the
many legends with which the entire region,
abounds notably that of Kin Van Winkle
and his long sleep—and of the ancient names
and families whose descendants art* still a
power in that locality. So far-reaching were
the effects of the "History" that in time the
name "Knickerbocker" became the popular
one for the patron saint of New York City,
he usually being represented as a benignant
old German of ample girth, clutching firmly
the long .stemmed clay pipe which Irving im
mortalized and gazing over hie beloved City.
Uecognizing the vein of sentiment in the
American people long ago a train service was

he was so familiar, arriving at New York the

for evening.
So popular has the service proven thut the

"Sick, heap sick," replied the redskin.
"l'retty sick, eh?" continued the agent.
"Pretty near die," replied Laboring, after

"You ought to have gone," advised the

How Much
You Eat
Is not the question, but, how much you di
gest, because food does good only when it
is digested and assimilated, taken up by the
blood and made into muscle, nerve, bone
and tissue. Hood's Sarsaparilla restores to
the stomach its powers of digestion. Then
appetite is natural and healthy. Then dys
pepsia is gone, and strength, elasticity and
endurance return.
Stomach Trouble- "My mother had
a very bad stomach trouble. She weighed
only 111 pounds. Aijter taking four bottles
of "Hood s Sarsaparilla she weighed 136
pounds. She took it again after the grip and
one bottle got her up." Miss Otie McCoy,
628 Lafayette Ave., Lebanon, Ind.
