The Republican party Is entirely willing to toe the. mark on the money question, and Is dulnn; ; but It does not propose to let the public forget that It was a deficit Democratic tariff which raised the money question. One Cause of Unrest. ' We are not sure thut one of the chief causes of the present uprising; among debtors for free silver Is not outlined In the following letter from one James li. Alexander, a machinist, In the Chi cago Record: In 1SSU I was earning $3.73 a day a a me chanic. 1 bought a home, and could sup port my family, pay my monthly Install ments on the principal and pay the U',j per cent. Interest. Since issa my earning pow er haa decreased until today I give the same number or hour and my compensa tion is only 12.30. I admit that the neces sities of II fo tiave decreased In price pro portionately to my salary. Hut there Is one Item of expense that has maintained the same old ligure an It did seven year ago, when I contracted the debt, and that i the interest and principal on the pur chase price of the home I am buying. And the taxes have Increased slightly. In con sequence of the decrease in my earning power I was obliged to effect a new loan at the old rates, which was an additional expense of J3(i. Now I, a workingmnn, and one of tho masses, Ituve had my earn ing power leaemd, while the capitalist and one of the classes from whom I pur chased my home receives the same rate of Interest, or. In other words, the same Income that he did seven years ago, and lie has the same ndvantago of the cheap hat, shoes or hoe that I or the farmer ha. so I feel that tin naturally would wish a continuance or the present-state of affairs, while I reel that a change would better my condition and not injure his. There are several thoughta which aug: ttest themselves (luring the perusal of th4n letter. We judge from the tone of It that Mr. Alexander Is an honest. In dustrious man who Is really free to face with the hardship fin which he imag Ines free silver would prove a remedy. But as to the latter point Is he not mis taken? In the first place, why have his wages fallen since 1S8!? AVhy didn't they fall prolr to 1889? If the gold stand ard had any detrimental effect on the matter, should it not have disclosed Itself Ions; before 1SS9? The gold stand ard has been In complete and thorough operation In this country continuously since 1878 (and nominally a much longer time). Why, then, did Mr. Alexan der's wages suffer no decrease until af ter 1888? Evidently the gold Standard an justly be Acquitted of exerting any untoward Influence In the premises. On tha contrary unless Mr. Alexander's ex perience was exceptional, his - wages must have Increased steadily from 1878 up to 18S8. Statiatica at all events, show that wages In general did. Now as to the decline In his wage. Does it not date from even later than 1889? It certainly does If Mr. Alexan der's case fairly represents the average experlenceofhl8 class. It dates not from 1889 ror during the years 1890, 1S9I and a part of 1893 the average wage In this country, purchasing power con sldered, was higher than at any prior time in the entire history of the coun try but from the latter part of 1892, when It became definitely known to the bualnese Interests of the United States that an administration would go Into power on a pledge to demolish Pro tection as a thing "fraudulent," and "unconstitutional." We repeat that unless Mr. Alexander suffered from special and local causes, his wages showed no marked decline until afterthe election of Orover Cleveland, and that In the decline which followed thnt con sumated threat of economic revolution. all wages and all values shared equally, Obviously, therefore, Mr. Alexander Is not a victim of the gold standard but of free trade. If free trade hurt him, the restoration of Protection ought to help him. Common sense clearly sustain! this argument, as It does the further re mark thnt Mr. Alexander ought not to let the leaders who undid him four years W with a deceptive cry for "tariff re form" repeat their taking in of him by the new bunco cry of "free silver." Hut there remains to be considered n much deeper point In Mr. Alexander's letter. We refer to his remark that while the fall In his wages bus on the whole been counterbalanced by the sim ultaneous fall In prices, the Interest rate on his debt has remained stationary. This Is generally true as to long-term loans on real estate security, and it ex plains as much perhaps as any other economic circumstance why the debtor class today Is politically so 111 at ease and so prone to advocate hazardous legislative exeriments. The interest rate exacted today In most transactions between banks and farmers or between banks and small urban borrowers on first mortgage security Is identically the same rate that prevailed fifteen or twenty years ago, notwithstanding that the purchasing power of money, In the interval, has greatly Increased. In other words, three ikt cent, interest to day will buy as much, roughly speaking. ns five or six per cent, would have lisiight a rreneration ngo, und would consequently be ns fair a price for the use of money ns five or six per cent, was then; yet the legal rate today Is ns high as It was two decades ngo niid.orr most small loans the full legal' rate (or more) is still exacted, ' ' Tlil:T condition of affairs cannot be overcome by free silver coinage. There is absolutely nothing in the prserlp tlon offered by Drs. P.yran nnd Sewall calculated to remedy It. Hy their own admission, their treatment would bring about still higher interest rates, while the ability of tho poor debtor to pay would be In no sennc Increased, but rather diminished. The remedy, so far ns It can be expressed In laws, Is to be sought Instead in state legislation lightening tho borrowers' burdens; and In the working of It out there Is need, not of voluble empirics and rattle- tongued theorists, but of honest, prac tical, level-headed statesmanship, trained to believe In and to act upon tho ethics of the Golden Rule. The gold standard suited Lackawanna ,wnge-earners to a T so long as they had plenty of work at good wages; and as a rule they had both under Protection. The War on the Banks. One of the charges made In the less scrupulous Democratic prints In con nection with the free silver controversy Is that In May, 1893 the bankers of the country entered Into a conspiracy to contract the volume of money and banking currency then In circulation and produce the money panic and com mercial crash of that year, their pur pose being to force the repeal of the sli ver purchasing act of 1S90. Quotation is made from an alleged circular claimed to have been sent out from New York to the Interior banks and calling upon them, at a given time, to retire one- third of their notes and call In one third of their loans. The point sought to be established is that the banks rula the country and that the way to save the country is to abolish the banks so far as relates to their power of issue, and adopt free coinage. It Is unnecessary to tell intelligent men thnt no such circular was ever dis tributed. It appeared for the first time In a political novel called "The New Pil grim's Progress" the author of which veiled his Identity behind anonymity. Since then it has been going the rounds of tho Populist weeklies, traveling fas ter than denials for the reason that the Populists apparently prefer to think 111 of bnnks: and It has recently made its way to the Free Press and Times of this city, papers that appear to be willing to print any bit of trash, however ab surd, that will help on the Incitement of class prejudice and social unrest. For this reason it may be iforth while to make inquiry as to the course of the national banks of the United Ktates during the year 1893 We quote now from abetter by J. L. MeCreery written for the Washington Post: First, as to the national bank conspir ing to retire their circulation. Their out standing circulation on January 1, lV.i:;, was flUi.UUO.OUQ (In round numbers): on January 1, 1894, It was fl9G.UU0.0uv. Their "conspiracy" to diminish their circula tion consisted in Increasing their circula tion 2S,IHJU,UU0 during the year. Second, as lo their calling in their loans. It Is a fact within the memory of-mcn now living that we, the people, three years ago became alarmed at the financial condition and be gan to withdraw our money from the banks before they began to call in their loan. Ketween May 1 and October 1. lttitt, , the depositors of tho country, with drew from the national bank .iS,000.000 and from private banks tJll.uuoo.Ouo mak ing a total of mora than 1500,000,009 in fly months that we took out of the bank and hid away, until the storm should blow over. Now I rise 4o Inquire, How could these banks do otherwise than call in their loan la order to obtain this HMO OOO.UUO Imperatively demanded by their depositors, union they were to close their doors and stop buslneas entirely? But let u see what they really did. On April 1, 1892, the New York clearing house bank had on hand )150,UO0,0uO, which was $18. Uixi.uuO more than tho reserve required by law. mi April 1, 1893, they had on hand $120.000,1100, of $U,000,uuO more than the re. quired reserve. Then came the ianlc, and the general withdrawal or funds ojr depositors. On August 12, 1893, the amount on hand was leas thun $77,ouO,uuu, or $18, (U0,uu0 less than tho amount required by law. In other words, these New York bank had loaned all the money they had a legal right to loan, and also $1K.500,mW more, from their "reserve," which the law prohibited their loaning. The same thing was done by nntonul banks elsewhere to euch an extent that In the aggregate they loaned more. than S40,0uu,uuu that by law they should have kept locked up In their sates and held aa a reserve. So much for the "national bunkers' conspiracy" to di minish their circulation and call in their loans. It Is an accepted principle In Jurispru dence that the testimony of a witness who is caught In one falsehood Is not entitled to credence In any particular unless thoroughly corroborated. Here the Democratic press Is caught bearing deliberate fulse witness. There is no excuse for the circulation of such trans parent falsehoods against the banks. It Is a demugoglc begging of the ques tion that belittles and unsettles the whole controversy for free silver. No statement on the silver side will here after deserve acceptance ns true until thoroughly corroborated from reliable sources. "The Republican party stand lor honest money and the chance to rnru it by honest toil." WILLIAM M'KIXLEV, Dr. Ctiyler writes In the Evangelist: "The utterances of a few religious journals sadden me. One of them In de fending the free coinage of silver ad mits that It will drive out gold, and thus produce silver monometallism. The editor also declares that It will give us 'cheaper money.' That really signifies cheat money; for it will force Its 50-cent dollar on every poor minister In his salary, on every servant girl in her payment from the savings bank, and every soldier in the receipt of his pen sion." The churches this year may well stand for national honesty and civic righteousness, not indeed as mere generalities, but as living duties urg ing the election of William MeKinley. Says Major Handy: "You can de pend upon It that every dollar expend ed by the Republican national commit tee in the conduct of this campaign will be spent for legitimate purposes, that the books will stand the light of day and that there will be no debt carried through tho next four years." On this platform Mark Ilannn can capture ev ery doubtful Republican pocketbook. Mr. Uryan says thnt nt the proper time he will deny convlndngly that ho Is In the pay of the silver mine owners. For his sake we hope he will. Hut he cannot' deny hat he is doing their work and that If successful at It thoy will live on Kasy street forevei' afterward. In judging such predictions asChaun- cey F. Black's that the silver men will carry Lackawanna county It Is well to remember Urother Colborn's story about the farmer and the frogs. A few silver men can make a great deal of noise. Ex-Senator Ingalls of Kansas has declared unequivocally for the gold standard. The west Is fast falling into line. It Is Intensely amusing to notice how delicate a subject the tariff Issue is among Democrats. FORMER DEMOCRATIC TIMES. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The following excerpts are from an editorial written by Thomas E. Wat. son, the Populist candidate for vice presi dent on corporations and banks: In 1842 we. had no national bank that's big fact, to start with. In 1812 we had a comoromisu tariff, which was gradually being lowered. We bad the principle or bimetallism, both gold ami silver as money metals, on an equal footing. The entire nubile debt, bonds and all, amounted to only $20,000,000. The nation was practic ally out of debt and the government was being run according to the illctatea or tne honest economy which seeks to spend less than the Income. The special breed of Democrats with whom 'yes' means 'no,' and which makes a point of first denying the Intention to do the very thing It Is actually doing, and has meant all along to do, was still an embryo in the womb of the reluctant future. Such was the politcal tree of 1342. Its fruit wa general good times no beggar. In 1S9"J we have everything In the way of governmental policies which we did not have in 1812. The government has re versed Its practlcesi in each or tho par ticulars we have named. Hence, the tree Is just the opposite to what it was in 1842. "So are the fruits." As Mr. Watson was a lawyer living in tho south he must have known very little about the condition of affairs among the wage earners nnd farmers of the free Hales north and west. He says there was general good times no beggar." That might have been true In the then slave statesbut It was rar rrom the truth In the states where there were no slave. Here are a few facts from personal ex perience and observation in those beauti ful times of 1842. The writer was one of a small party who went west In the fall of '41 In consequence of dull times. During two months pre ceding the first of '42 we were engaged in hooking etnndlng corn In a 50O-acre field belonging to Unce Sam. For this the gov ernment paid us 18 cents a day. ogout 14.50 a mouth and board. Karly in January we left for Fort Leavenworth on foot and walked all the way neross Missouri to (St. Louis seeking work as we went along. That being, at that time, a slave state, about the only employment a white man could tret at that season was "nlggar driving." But 'a I was not out out for that sort of business I did not accept a position. One of the party named Hubbard and myself crossed the Mississippi river and Mar ted on foot into Illinois. The first attractive farm house we came to we ap plied for work. The parties wanted help. as they had a grist mill nnd srw mill and land to be cleared. They offered $4.00 a month and board. I engaged, but Hub. banrd want further and fared worse, for he settled down to work for $108 a month and board. After about three months had passed who should put tn an appearance but this man Hubbard. We had a long talk and h persuaded me. against m belter Judgment, to throw up my Job and go east with him. He had a letter from a trleiM recommending him to a party In Cincinnati, who would give us work. We weiut over Ho Ht. Iooinl and engaged passage on a steamboat going to Cilicia nati, and paid our fare with dirty state bank rags, which waa about all the money to bo sewn. It wa a lucky hit that we prepaid our fare, for those who paid after the boat was under way were discounted 5i per cent, on most If not all the bills they offered. When we reached Cincinnati there did not eetn to be life enough in the city to scare a setting hen off her neat. We round the party to whom we were directed, but his works were closed. There did not seem to be any possible show for find' lug employment in that city. We board' ed another steamer and went furmer liP the Ohio river to Portsmouth. Here we started on toot up through the atate ot Ohio, our funds being entirely exhausted we begged our way along for several daya till we struck a job. A new lock was being built In the canal and otner re pairs. The pay we received was 50 cents a day and bourd and bunk In a temporary shanty. At this place lien's eg9 were retailed at tihe tftore for 4 cents a dozen and other farm products In proportion. Hubbard did not temain very long; ho left In disgust and tried to Induce me to leave also, but I had no use tor him so I stuck to work as long as It lasted; I tnoit went on a canal boat to Cleveland. When I reached there 1 was 111 and could not work, o I boarded a lake steamer and crossed over to Buffalo. My lodging and breakfast in Buffalo, a mere trltte, ex haunted my funds so I had to beg my way av'aln. After a couple of daya I secured a ride on a canal boat and was boarded and taken aa far as Rochester. Here he captain said he could not afford to carry me any further, although I assured him that if he would take me through to Al bany I would get some money from my Darent and Day him. i went on foot a while till a met another generous captain who took me through to Albany. Now, for the observation, and this ap plies principally to one city. There were more laborers than there was work. There work waa not plentiful. Day laborers pay was 60 cents to 7a cents a day; me chanic 75 cents to $1.25 a day. House rent less than half the present price and no modern conveniences. Work was large ly paid for by orders on stores, money was hard to get. The silver In circulation was mostly Mexican coin. The paper money in clr dilution was state batik notes which were at a discount when away from home. Kv ery business man had to have a bank note detector, renewed every month, and wajtch It closely to see If the bills he was taking were good and banknb', or at a discount, or counterfeit, of which there were not a few. Next na lo farm products; Beef at re- tall, fore quarters, 34 to 4 cents pound; pork, whole, 8 to 8 cents pound: mutton, fore quarter, 25 cents each; hind qunr. ters, 30 cents each; shad, one shilling each; potatoes and apples, Vli en's a bushel wheat Hour, $3.00 to $4.00 per barrel; bread. 3-round loaves, 8 cents, and other cab ables In proprtion. Sugar and tea were dearer than now. The balance of foreign trade waa large ly against us, Bhowing clearly that there was too much Importing and too little work doing at home, which 'has been the case under nearly all Democratic adminis trations. In the winter councils had a soup house opened to feed the poor who had no work, "Very prosperous times," Indeed. 11. B. Van Benthuysen. Scranton, Aug. C. PROGRESS OF ELECTRICITY.
