THEY SHOUTED FOR SOUND MONEY. Martin L Sweet, banker, manufacturer and farmer, Grand Rapids, Mich., has gone up by the single standard route. Liabilities about $179,000 (sound). The assets are much larger, but can't be sold for cash just now, therefore they are unsound. The Sherman county, Kan., bank has gone unsuund. It owes $35,000, (sound) It was for a single standard. The Bloomfield, Neb., State bank has kicked the bucket. It wanted sound money and got it in such small quan tities that it couldn't continue business. Hill Brothers, Montgomery, Ala., have failed because those who owe them cannot pay their debts in sound dollars. Patrick W. Snowhook, real estate, Chicago, Ill., has assigned, He claims assets worth $350.000. Debts amount to $200,000 (sound). Caudle & Roan, furniture dealers. Richmond, Va, have assigned. Liabilities $19,000, (sound). The money they owe is "gude in Yurrip." Dudley, Brown & Co., tobacco manufacturers, Martinsville, Va., have assigned. Liabilities $37,000, (sound). J. F. Seiberling & Co., manufacturers of agricultural machinery, Akron, Ohio, have tailed. The liabili ties are placed at $250,000, (sound). Efforts are being made to get a receiver appointed for the saw mill and shingle business of Howe & Street, a Philadelphia firm. Some $40,000 (sound) are involved. William M. Shipp and C. W. Stone, cashier and book keeper, respectively, of the Woodford county, Ky., bank are short in their accounts to the tune of probably $40,000 (sound). L. & H. Bloom, Galveston, Tex, the largest wholesale dry goods house in the State, have failed owing $2,000, 000 (sound). William Bridges, a sound money county official at Rome, Ga, is strictly in it, and is a shining specimen. He has been found guilty of forgery and is a defaulter. The amount of the shortage is $5,475 15. He also issued some $10,000 worthless school certificats, and the purchasers are losers to that ex tent. Abraham White, of Boston, is a sound money man, but until J. G. Carlisle began to mortgage the United States, he was peniless. But White had nerve. He bid for $900,000 worth of bonds and sold them to a Boston bank, making $30,000 clear. Then he concluded he was a Wall street goldbug and since dropped $20,000 (sound) in that narrow, dirty den of iniquity. "Come easy go easy" will apply here.
