EEASOXS FOR THE PRESENT DISTRESS
rrrBciAii telegram to ths dispatch.!
Xew York, Feb. 2a Under the head
ing, "Cares for Business Depression," Mat
thew Marshall -writes as follows for to-morrow's
Sim:
The Berlin rioters are ostensibly work
men out of employment, driven to despera
tion by want or food for themselves and
their families. A striking incident of their
proceedings has been the pillaging of butch
er and baker shops and the carrying away
of their contents one of the mob excusing
himself by saying that hischildicnhad had
nothing to cat for t o days. The burden of
their cries and their placards has been in
accord ith this renrosentatlon of their
'case. What they profess to want is work,
and the redress of the Iniquitous state of
things which prevents them from obtaining
It. now their demonstrations are to help
them they do not make clear, hut they evi
dently assume that the Emperor can do
what they want done, Ifhe is onlv sufficient
ly lmprcMea Dy snouts ana violence witn
the necessity 01 doing It.
That there has been for many months a
gnat deal of dlntrcst among the German
people I p. otpixnc, a matter of no dispute.
The count, old not escape the revulsion
wlrtch followed, throughout Unrope, the
Baring collapse of November, IfDO, and the
bad harvests of last summer hare naturally
delajed Us recovery from It. Germany is
not suffering alone irom a partial failure of
its own annual food production. Its neigh
bor, ItuMla, which usually furnishes It with
a large amount of rye.tho staple constituent
ot the bread which Its poorer citizens cat,
has this year not raised enough of the grain
to feed itself, nnd thus, besides failing to
contribute to the necessities of Germany, it
has been unable to buy the quantity of Ger
man commodities which It usually took in
return for what it sent.
- Sir. Marshall Blames the Tariff
Our new tariff, also, has either diminished
the American consumption of German man
ufactured goods, or has compelled a reduc
tion of the ages paid to the operators pro
ducing them. It is quite possible, therefore,
that pomi', and perhaps many, of the rioters
ybo have been disturbing the peace of the
citv of Berlin are industrious workmen,
willing to earn their bread by honest labor,
but pi-evented from doing so by circum
stances over w hich they have no control.
At the same time, I Hope I may not be
thought heartless if I express my suspicion
that the mass of them Is composed of idle,
shiftless vagabonds, such ts infest all great
cities, who never haveanvrecmlar vocation.
but who live by their wits and by preying
upon the more ordeily mcmbeis ot the com
munity. An opportunity for creating a riot, no
matter upon what pretence, is always too
good for these fellows to lose, and it seems
to me that it is to them and not to the
woiktngmen of whom thev profess to form
part that the violence is owing, of which the
cable has informed us. Or if they are really
a orkingmen, they belong to the outer circle
or fringe of them who are only one stage
above the vagabond condition, nnd who, in
the best times, never have steady employ
ment, because they do not deserve it At
the first appearance of a slackening these
men are thrown aside, while these of a
better sort are retained, even at the cost of
some pecuniary sacrifice by their employers.
Beat IVorkincmen Not Street Taraders,
My own observation Induces me to believe
that when, by stress of financial weather,
really Industrious workmen are temporarily
driven Into enforced idleness, the last thing
they think or is parading the streets and
jhoutlng for relief. Thoy are not accus
tomed to that sort of behavior, and either
suffer in uncomplaining silence or else turn
legitimate agencies for help. Whether
justly or unjustly, however, the fact remains
that the Berlin rioters put forward a claim
to consideration by tne ruling powers
s unemployed workers that Is admitted by
most people to be sound if truthfully
made. It Is one among the many proofs to
which I have from time to time called at
tention, of the prevalence, in the civilized
world, of the doctrine of communism, or of
the general responsibility of the whole com
munity for the welfare of its individual
members. It receives the sanction of religi
ous teachers, as exemplified by the latest
Encyclical of the Pope, the essays of Cardi
nal Gibbons, re-enforced by eminent laymen
like Andrew Carnegie, and it manifested'
itself in the political world In the frequent
enactment by the legislative bodies of laws
designed as their promoters avow, for the
benefit of particular classes at the public
expense.
As illustrations, I mav mention the impo
sition of prohibitory duties upon foreign
manufactured goods for the protection of
home Industry, of the laws excluding the
Chinese and foi bidding the importation of
contract laborers, in order that the labor
market here may not be over-supplied, and,
in eeneral, all laws which have lor their ob
ject the remedy of evils which afflict only
certain portions of the community. On a
wider scale, and with much more plausibil
ity, the unlimited free coinage of the silver
dollar Is now advocated as a certain cure
for the depression from which, it is alleged,
the business of the country Is suffering.
A Few Hints to Mr. Springer.
I do not propose to discuss here the sub
ject of free silver. With all deference to
the judgment of my friend Mr. Springer,
who thinks the people of the United States
need further enlightenment on it, I think
they know pretty much all that can be said
on both sides of the question, and that when.
ever they get an opportunity to express
ewsuponit tney wm do so intelli
gently. All that I wish to say now is that,
in my opinion, business depression cannot
be cured by legislation, either in regard to
currency or to anything else. Whenever it
occurs it is due to causes beyond human con
trol, and whenever it ceases it ceases as the
result of a natural process. The Berliner,
who marched in procession to the Emperor's
castle last week to force him to find work
for them by an Imperial edict, were not more
deluded than Tire theorists In thi country
Who lancy that men may be compelled by
law .to buy more commodities than they feel
inclined to.
ThU really Is what most of the talk about
legislation upon the subject of the currency
means. The agriculturalist finds that,
owing to large crops and limited consump
tion, the price of his produce is low.as wheat
was a year ago and as cotton is this year;
the manufacturer discovers that he and his
fellow manufacturers cannot sell as many
goods as they bad been selling heretofore;
the merchant complains of a want of brisk
demand for his wares,and the retail dealer's
sales fall off in like manner. Naturally, this
state of things is unpleasant, ana the vis
tims are disposed to i elconie any proposi
tion to change it for the better. If they
would consult their own memory, and take
counsel of their common sense, they would
see that their experience Is no unprece
dented noveltv, that it has occurred olten
before, and that it has been as often suc
ceeded by one more agreeable.
Important Factors in Business.
In business, as in religion, politics and
every other department of human activity,
.SfetRlient and imagination are more potent
f factors than is generally supposed. Theups
nnd downs of 'the stock market exhibit their
influence more clearly than the slower and
le-s conspicuous fluctuations of general
trade, but not more certainly. There are
times when almost everybody feels like
spending money liberally in new houses,
new furniture, new clothing, social display
and entertainments, books, pictures, travel
and amusements, as well as in new com
mercial and manufacturing enterprises.
When this is tho case, business is good.
After a n bile men get tired of this line of
proceeding and begin to rest on their oars.
Then prices which had previously risen
under an active demand fall, trade lan
guishes, profits diminish, and there is a gen
eral complaint of hard times. Very often
the revulsion is occasioned, or at least pre
cipitated, by natnral causes, such as bad
Iihi vests like that of lastyear in Europe: tho
breaking down of Imprudent investments
on a large scale like that of the Barings and
other bankers in Argentine enterprises, or
by floods, fires and pestilences which de
stroy property and life and tbns diminish
the wealth or the wealth-producing power
of the world.
But as legislation cannot make good
weather, impart prudence to business men
or -n ard off disease, it is Idle to appeal to it
to remove the leal causes of business de
pression. Human laws are equally impotent
to rouse or to dampen men s spirits, and
efforts to make them do It have always
proved futile and always will.
Temporary Stimulus to Trade,
It is true that the expansion of the cur
rency and the inflation of prices consett.-
i'
upon the adoption of the silver standard,
wliloh is what the enactment of a free silver
coinage law amounts 'to, would generate a
speculative demand forall kinds of property
and thus give a temporary stimulus to trade.
Against this must be offset the alarm and
perplexity into which the owners of capital
would be thrown by so radical a change in
the measure of values, and, in any event, the
stimulus would soon cease to aot. Prices
would speedily readjust themselves on tha
new basis, and the business world be again
left to the action of the forces that con
trolled it before.
Whatever may be its other merits, a free
silver coinage law would be of little avail as
a cure for business depression, and it is en
titled to no favor on that ground.
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Report of the Acting Adjutant General-
New Clothing Recommended General
Snowden's Flan for Reorganizing the
Militia.
Habrisbueo, Feb. 28. 5JDfc Lieu
tenant Colonel Alexander Krumbhaar, act
ing Adjutant General of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, has submitted a re
port to Governor Pattison, based on data
collected by the late Adjutant General Mc
Clelland. The report states that the aggre
gate strength of the Guard on November 30,
1891, was 8,493; November 30, 1890, 8,470,
showing a gain during the year of 23. The
strength of the several organizations was as
follows: Commander-in-chief and staff,
commissioned officers, 24; enlisted men, S;
total, 29. "Major general and staff; com
missioned officers, 12; enlisted men, 4; total,
16. First Brigade, commissioned officers,
132; enlisted men, 2,476; total, 2,65a Sec
ond Brigade, commissioned officers, 213; en
listed mec. 2,902: total, 3,115. Third Brig
ade, commissioned officers, 196; enlisted
men, 2,434; total, 2,680.
Dming the year there was an increase in
the general ttaff of 3; First Brigade, 30;
Third Brigade, 58, and a decrease in the
Second Brigade of 68, a net increase of 28,
16 officers and 12 enlisted men. The total
number of commissioned officers is 627 and
of enlisted men, 7,371. During the year it
became necessary to muster out but one
company, D, of the Tenth Begiment.
After referring to the camps last year
and praising the troops for their soldierly
qualities in the field the report of the In
spector General of Eifle Practice is re
ferred to. It shows a gain during the year
of 1.205 marksmen and 242 sharpshooters.
the totals being 5,775 marksmen and 1,291
sharpshooters; a most gratifying showing.
Again the Twelfth and Thirteenth Kegi
nients qualified every officer and enlisted
man.
The report recommends the renewal of
some of the equipment, such as blankets,
great coats, etc., and hopes the next Legis
lature will appropriate a sufficient sum to
carry out its suggestion. The work of the
men in the coke country during the riots is
highly praised. Lieutenant Colonel Krumb
haar closes his report with a tribute to the
late Adjutant General "William McClelland.
Accompanying the report is a communica
tion from Major General George K. Snow
den on the reorganization of the guard es
follows:
In view of the change in drill a reorganiza
tion of the guard has become necessary, and
I have the honor to submit a plan which I
believe can be accomplished with as little
friction as possible and at the same time go
as far forward in the new direction as is now
practicable without much disturbance to ex
isting organizations.
First I recommend that the T;hird Begi
ment be disbanded, and the colonels respect
ively of the First and Second Infantry be
authorized to recruit two new companies
and elect onb additional major. Also that
the naval battalion or four companies be
raised and mustered Into the service, the
"State Fencibles battalion to remain as it is
with four companies.
fcecond That Company I, Eighteenth In
fantry, at McKeespoit, be transferred to the
Tenth with the same letter or another, us.
snming, as I am informed, that the Tenth
now has seven and the Eighteenth nine com
panies. Third That two infantry companies of
the Third Brigade, to be designated by
ungaaier uenerai uoDin, oe mustered out.
Should these companies be other than those
of the Eighth Infantry it would require dis
positions to be made so that each regiment
of the brigade would consist of eight com
panies. Fourth That a light battery be raised at
Philadelphia and a troop within the limits
of the Third brigade, at a place to be select
ed by Brigadier General Gobin, and the
mounted ti oops to be formed into perma
nent battalion organizations, reporting di
rectly to these headquarters. Thus the
(nard would consist of Infantry: Two
regiments of 12 companies, three bat
talions each; 12 regiments of eight
companies, two battalions each; one bat
talion indenendent, State Fencibles; one
company. Grey Invlnolbles; one naval bat
talion, one battalion of cavalry and one bat
talion of artillery, with the same number of
companies In the aggregate as at present. In
case of internal troubles the State Fencibles
and naval battalion could be formed into a
provisional reiriment and doubtless would
work well together. It Is advisable that a
battalion in each regiment bo commanded,
for the present at least, by the Lieutenant
Colonel.
The approaching encampments will de
termine the propriety of it without the ex
pense of additional Majors, except of one
each as stated in the First and Second In
fantry. If it should be found from experi
ence to be. better and consistent with the
present appropriation, an additional Major
could be elected in each regiment to com
mand a battalion Instead of the Lieutenant
Colonel.
The Ladles.
The pleasant effect and perfect safety with
which ladles may use the California liquid
irfxatlve Syrup of Figs, under all conditions,
makes it their favorite remedy. To get the
true and genuine article, look for the name
of the California Fig Syrup Co., printed near
the bottom of the package.

When it becomes necessary to employ an
alcoholic stimulant as an effective adjunct
to sustain the flagging powers of life ,in
disease, I know of no better one than Max
Klein's Silver Age. I have examined it
and find it chemically pure. I can recom
mend it as being reliably and carefully dis

should commend it to all first-class druggists

REVIVED WOT A SHOT.
The McMurray Well Was Making 50
Barrels an flour Yesterday.
BIG BOOM IN THE PfiODUCTION.
There Are Thirty-Six Strings of
Running at Harmony.

OUTPUT OP THE FIELD 6,500 B1BR1LS
The resources of the McDonald field are
astonishing its most virulent tradacers.
There have never been so many bears on
any territory, and it is safe to say there
never was a field in which they have been
so regularly and persistently fooled.
Even the most sanguine hopes of the men,
who have been booming the field ''from'th'o'
start have been surpassed.
The result of the work at the old wells
Saturday was manifest in the guages ye'ster-i
day morning. The production, wfilch was
only 27,000 barrels Saturday morning,, was
29,000 yesterday, an Increase of 2.000 barrels.
Brown, Eoblnson & Co.'s well on the McMur-'
ray property, a few hundred feet east of No
blesto wn, was the biggest surprise of the day.
It was shot with 20 quarts of glycerine Sat
day afternoon, and after making a nice re
sponse it started to flow, and In tho ensuing
six hours it put out nearly BOO barrels. It
continued to flow all night, and yester
day morning the guages reported
it as doing 50 barrels an hour. Pre
vious to putting in the shot the well
had been pumped and relieved of several
nunarea Darreis oi salt waver wou mm "
in from the Hundred foot and the Gordon
sands. This water it is now believed was
holding the oil back.
Beller That a Pool Exists.
The showing made by the well yesterday
only confirms the belief of many operators
that there is a pool of oil somewhere in the
immediate neighborhood, but in which di
rection only the drill will tell. Wells are
now going down all around it, and some of
them will undoubtedly strike the right spot
unless the McJlurray well should prove to
be a scratch.
The Oakdale Oil Company's No. 2. on the
John Wetmore farm, which the owners be
lieved would be a failure, was also making
SO barrels an hour yesterday morning owing
to deeper drilling.
The estimated production of the field Snn
day morning complied from gauges was 29,
000 barrels, 2,000 barrels more than 'the day
befoie. The hourly gauges were as follows:

Prevent the Grip
Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the New Tork Board
of Health, says that to prevent the Grip, you
should avoid exposure in inclement weather
and keep your strength up, your blood in
good condition, and your digestive organs
in regular action. The tonlo and alterative
effects of Hood's Sarsaparilla so happily
meet the-last three conditions, that with the
protection given by this medicine you need
not fear the Grip.
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
Is an inexpensive medicine and a single
Dottle may save yon many dollars in doctors'
bills and znuoh suffering.
A Firm "Grip"
"One year ago I was taken down sick with
the Grip,' and py whole system seemed
completely run down. I could not sleep or
eat. A friend of mine advised ma to try
Hood's Sarsapartlla. So 1 did, I used four
bottles and in two months I was a well man.
I think so much of
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
That I keep it on hand all the time." Cmt
