Republican prosperity nn<l nocompu- nying hi^h priccvs tliat SocTetary Shaw thinks lire so prevalent and that he says aretherestiltof Uepublicaupollc.es have a disastrous effect in Iowa. 'When busi ness is ^ood and people are prosper*.uis it would naturally be expected th;it the banks W(uild participate in the pros perity. but in Iowa it seems tg be the reverse. Seven bankers have taken their lives iu that state during? the past seven months, and all their banks have been found upon examination to be hopelessly insolvent. A press report from Sioux CKy, published in the Washington Tiiue.s on Au{^. 15, enumer ates the grewsome list. The dispatch adds that five of these bankers “blew out tlieir brains” aud “two committed suicide by drowning.” In every ease the men ha<l b(H*n esteem ed ainonjj the most reliable and honora ble citizens of their comnninity, and the unfortunate bank ollicer had been driv en to take his own life after a lonj; and hopeless stru^'Kle to save his institu- tiou and restore his credit. The loss to the dei»ositors and stock holders of these banks must have been enormous, for we are told that all the banks “have been found ui>on exami nation to be hopelessly insolvent.” Yet Secretary Shaw prates of prosperity and points to present hi{;h prices as a sure indication of it. Nov.. Shaw i)efore he became secreta ry of tiie treasury was a small l)anker, and, beins? acquainted all over the stjite of Iowa, he must have known the ger eral condition of the banks and their unsonniiness. It was known in Wail street.it was known by Dun’s and Brad- street’s, but Shaw evidently did not know what was goin.ir on. or If he did feared to “hurt the part.v” l>.v warning the poor deluded victims, the farmers uiul business men of Iowa, of what mi.iiht be expected. The secretary of the treasury is supposed to be the watchman on the tower of finance to warn his countrymen and save them from dan.irer. “Wati.-huian. Avhat of tlie iiig^ht?” asked ihe Iowa farmers. “All’s well.” pronii)tly came from Watchman Shaw. “Tliaiiks to the beuelicent protective t;»rIlV, we are on the hijjhest point of prospvrity. L.ist<*n to Governor Cum- u*a;.s ;jml the apostles of the ‘Iowa idea’ and you will have trouble, but follow me and you will have high prices anil prosperity.” Secretary of AKriculture Wilson is another member of U<»osevelt's cal)inet who Is another boouu-r. The whole brood are impregnated with it. I^isten to him: “The farmer’s pocketbook is full, lie is a capitalist only huntinj^ for inv(‘stmeuts. Hooding the western banks with more money than they can handle aud sending millions to the east for investment.” A good many Iowa farmers must now wisli they had sent all their millions to tlie e.;st instead of flooding the western banks with their hard ejirned money. The high prices came all right, too high for the bankers and their custom ers. Instead of prosperity came disas ter. The tariff fosteretl high prices, begot extravagance and speculation. Lands advanced to unheard of prices, far beyond their true value, where it was impossible for tlie owner to pro duce enough to pay interest on the in vestments. The banks under Shaw’s exhilarating promise of contiiuaed high prices loaned to the land aud stock speculators on boom estimates of val ues, and those that are nble are still paying Interest. Other bankers specu lated with their customers’ money. Some of them have paid the forfeit with their lives. Secretary Shaw is still talking high prices and prosperity and is, as the leading member of Uoose- velt's cabinet, to stump the country for the Kepublican ticket. Stand pat l.s his slogan, and prices will still advance, and the Kepublican tariff is panic proof. All the voters have to do is to “let well euough alone’’—that Is. vote the Republican ticket. Fools rush In where angels fear to tread, and Shaw is to rush seventj’^-five speeches at the poor dupes ^at will listen to hj_s vapm*- THE ISSUE. imRiAUSHi PERSONAl ORDER? substituted for ACTS Of CONGRESS iirr.X?aarhnilintnSirAi»mimmiiM AVAGANC CORTKLYDU New York World.

As 1 stood there lie came along’ and filled the pails with water.’ “ ‘lie Khali be executed at once,’ I said, and the prince bowed with great seriousjiess and walked out of the room. “This incident- illustrates a trick which few people know anything about.” continued the superintendent. ■‘That is. there is more unconscious humor about a lot of lunatics than tl’.ere is genuine humor among sane [)eople.
