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,

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Greenbacks derive all their value from
the solvency of the government which
prints them. Silver dollars derive nearly
half of their value from the solvency of
the government which coins them. If too
many greenbacks were printed, and .too
many silver dollars coined, they would be
at a discount rrom their race value.
