The liberal government in Canada is
preparing to hold a referendum on the
subject of prohibition. A bill is being
prepared which will provide for a vote
by the entiro people of Canada on the
advisability of passing a federal pro
hibltory act, forbidding the manufac-
ture, Importation anil sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Since 1878 there have been
plebiscites in the four provinces of
Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, On-
tario and Nova Scotia on the subject,
each of which gave a majority Jot pro-
hibition, the aggregate in the four be-
ing 132,918 votes. It seems more than
likely tlfat prohibition will receive a
majority at the proposed plebiscite for
the whole dominion, but it is not sure
that the government will then pass a
prohibitory law.
If, as Stephenson says, an idea can-

that ideas evaporate before words too

would eliminate the word 'Joy' from his
conversation, and 'grant' from his

a certain paBtor who made such fre-
quent use of the word "tender" that he
was finally requested to tender his res-
ignation. In a well-known college two
roommates, conscious of their limited
vocabulary and addiction to stale ad-

Tito following is at^extract from an'
article by R. A. Dague in the June
New Time: * #
Let me illustrate how savings banks
are started, and how they work not in
California only, 1 nt elsewhere. John
Smith decides to stiTrt a bank. The
people begin depositing with him, and
he agrees if they will entrust hint with
their money for several months he will
allow them a small interest when they
withdraw it from the batik. Usually
he allows them no interest if the mou
ey is not left a specified time; he thus
gots the free use of large amounts of
cash. After the deposits have accum-
ulated to a sufficiently large amount
the bank begins to make loaus. Farm-
er "A" comes in and borrows for a year
or longer at say 8 per cent interest per
annum, and gives a mortgage on his
farm or other good security. He very
soon puts the money into circulation
by paving it out his employes, to
the merchant and to other parties.
Within a few weeks a third or a liaff
of that same $100 goes back to the
bank in the way of deposits. Farmer
"II" comes in. borrows 8100 or more,
and gives a mort;#n or^ his farm at 8
per cent interest, and he too, soon puts
it in cii*<'illation. Farmer "C*and Mr.
"D" and scores of others come in in
due time, borrow and give mortgages.
Each borrower gets some of the saute
identical money the banker loaned to
"A" and "It" ami "C aud "D," andsall
previous borrowers, all of whom are
paying interest on it, and thus the
loaning and depositing, reloaning and
redepositing goes on anil on Every
time a loan is made some of the dollars
given to the borrower are the same the
banker has loaned one, two, three, four
or more times before, and to secure
which he holds, perhaps a dozen differ-
ent mortgages on that man}* different
men. Such dollars are earning the
bank 8 per eent from "A," the same
from "B," the same from "C" and so on,
thus bringing the hank not less than 8
per cent interest on the entire amount
of money loaned, 16 per cent on a part
loaned and 24, 32 aud even 50 per cent
on other portions of the moqpy let out
The offener the money is handled the
bigger are the profits, oi course. Now,
the beauty of ^Itis system faun tin
badkers' standpoint consists in the fact
that he gauges his loans so as to tall}'
with the amounts of his deposits, so
that the money he loans out does not
belong to him, but to the <lcpo*itor al
ways. Of course, the hanks pay some
of the earning to the depositor, but a
thorough sifting of the system to the
bottom shows that they get they free
nse of large suiut of money designated
as "ordinary deposits,and that on
•'term deposit*- they allow the deposi
tor a very small psrt of the interest
they get out of the borrowing class for
the same identical cash. It is proper
to remark here that the deposits in the
bsnk usually exceed the stun loaned
out—that is. ti e bank does not loan
qu^e up t'> tix . amount de osited.
of eonme ilia In k incurs an indebted-
ness to the depositors equal to the
amount deposited. The depositing
aud redepociting doubles up in nearly
the same ratio as the loaning and re
loaning. The present debts of the
bauks to the depositors is so largo that
its eaucellatioi .* very problematical
indeed, for how can the banks enforce
the collection of debu exceeding four
times all the mot ey in circulation, and
how can the depoaitore expect the
baukt to pay them a sum more than
four-fold greater than all the money in
circulation in the *tat«J?
The profits made by the banks comes
through the low rate of interest, or no
iuterest at a>l, allowed the depositor,
while the bank handles the sajne mon-
ey so many times duriug the year that
so long as times are good and the peo-
ple have "confidence," banking is about
the most profitable business people
can engage in. The banker does not
use any of his own moaey in loaning,
(or the compensation he receives for
| his labor enables him to amass a for-
tune in a few years providing no panic
overtakes bim; but even calamity does
come his private fortune is generally
made secure to him by methods lie un-
I derstandfl|| while the«loss fall upon the
| depositor. And yet profitable as the
I business is it has its drawbacks and
discouragements. If* the banker is
honest (and many of them are), he must
always be uneasy. The system works
smoothly only when the public has
confidence in the banks stability, and
where deposits continue to tlow in.
Bunking being very profitable, the
bankor takes great risks. Things go
on gloriously when times are good; the
banker n iflcs hay w hile the sun shine,
for he more than any living person
knows the precariotisncss of his busi-
ness. He knows that everything de-
pends on "confidence" and continued
deposits. When either one ceases then
calamity comes. Then the pendulum
bt^ins to swing backward; money be-
comes congested in the banks; hence is
withdrawn from general circulation;
available security becomes lessened;
business lags, hard times set in, new
depositors begin to fall off, and old
depositors want their money and com-
mence withdraw ing it from the bank;
then some hint gains currency that the
batik "cannot realize on its seovrities;"
that it is embarrassed; a "run" is start-
ed, and the bubble bursts; mortgages
are foreclosed and the property of the
borrower is sacrificed, and he is beg-
gared; the bank closes its doors, the
depositors .are ruined and the baulorr
himself is often wrecked in morals if
not in fortune. The entire banking"
system, both national, commercial and
savings is unsound, is defective t# the
core. It is unfitted for this age: it
should be replaced by a better system.
In ^'nis article 1 have dealt with sav
ings banks alone. The great mountain
of debt the people owe the uationa-
and commercial l> nks in Califor A
not in this 8102,000,000 they owe the
savings banks. The debts of the peo-
ple to those institutions ifgnsffate gae
hundred millions more, which, added
to the debt during the savings banks,
show that a deplorable condition the
people of California are in. Taking
the whole Tinted States into the ac-
count, the showing is still worse for
the banks a* well as for the people.
Leaving all savings, state and individ-
ual banks out of# the calculation, we
find that the 4,000 national banks of
the Union on July of last year owed
their depositors one billion, eight hun-
dred and thirty millions, v. about five
times mpre than all the money they
had on hand, or a sun* larger than all
the money in the I'uited States. It is
estimated that the other banks were
iudobted to their depositors in an
equal amount

money? Nothing can prevent such
disastrous results unless it be flic frc
quent periodical bursting of the in-
flated bubble, which, like the cyclone,
deals out ruin to the •innocent as well
as to tne guilty. Well may the bank -
ers say that our flnepqlal system is
based tin "confidence," for they know
they owe the.! depplitOTS front ti \« to
ten times more than the whole amount
of mousy they ever have on hand with

The government has actually the
power to increase the price of mules,
as it has of gold and other commodi*
ties, by government demand for them.
When war broke loose the ordinary
government mule was pulling a plow
down*in Missouri aud Kentucky and
worth about 840, and slow sale. In two
months the government has bought
near a million dollars worth of mules
and the price has gone up from 840 to
S100. The fiat of the government
brand on the mule a^ well as on th*e
metal raises its price in the markets of
the world.
Wheat and silver are together again.
They would not have separated but
Joe heifer got between. Now that he
is crushed there is peace in the family,
cotton, wheat and silver are dancing
again on the same carpet. Supply and
demand did not push wheat above 80,
speculation and Letter's millions did
the rest. The ' jttom has fallen out
of wheat and it may go to 50 cents

the gamblers. Republican prosperity
did not do it neither did tariff.
, The fellows at Washington say it is
important to issue bonds so that thu
people can invest their surplus money

proceeds in railway stock, and put it;

she would get her car fare all back ia
the shape of dividends.

The reform congressmen stood for

.Yesterday four troops of the Kirstfeav-

and eight troops of Roosevelt's rough
riders. Icy, than l.yoo men in all, de-
mounted and attacked 2,000 Spanish
soldiers in the thickets within five
miles of Santiago tie Cuba.
The Americans beat the enemy back

the wounded will tlie.
Twelve dead Spaniards were found
in the brush after the fight, but their
loss was doubtless far ine&cessof that.
General Young commanded the ex-
pedition and was with the regulars,
while Colonel Wood directed the oper-
ations of the rough riders, several
miles west.
ltoth parties struck the Spaniards
about the same time, and the fkriit
lasted an hour.. The Spaniards opened
fire from the thick brush and had
every advantage of numbers and po-
sition. but the troops throve them back
from the start, stormed the block-
house, around which they made a final
stam^, and sent them scattering over
the mountain
The cavalrymen were afterwards re-
inforced by the Seventh. Twelfth and

The Americans now hold the jpnfeition
at the threshold of Santiago de Cuba
