MS
DEBATE ON THE
MONEY QUESTION
Ex-Judge W. H. Stanton and Attorney
James J. H. Hamilton Argue.
THEY TOOK THE OPPOSITE SIDES
Mr. Hamilton I'phvld the Positloa ot
the Republican Party in this Cam
paign and Judge Stanton Told of
the lleautics of the Freo Coiange
Idea Part of Mr. Hnmiltoa's Ar
gument.
A most Interesting debate took place
Saturday on the "Money Question," be.
tween ex-Judge W. H. Stanton and At'
torney James J. H. Hamilton, of this
city, at the Ancient Order of Hibernians
Picnic at Plicehiirg. Mr. Humllton de
fended the position of the Republican
party and Judge Stanton advocated the
free coinage of silver and the election
of Hryan and Bewail. The audience
listened with the utmost attention to
both speakers. '
Mr. Hamilton opened the debate by
asking his hearers to give the que
lions at issue in this campaign their
careful, earnest and conscientious
study, come to an honest conclusion,
and then as free men cast tneir oai
lots uccording to the convictions of their
own conscience "unawpd by Influence
and unbrlbed by gain." He made a
lucid and comprehensive statement of
the position of the Republican party
In this campaign that Is worthy of the
perusal of every voter. Mr. Hamilton
said In part:
Th currency of the United States
consists of over $ti00,nti0.W0 of gold, $;1D0,
000,000 f silver. Nearly $f.00,000,00O of
t rcu miry notes nnd greenbacks, nnd over
2oo.0iio,ooo or national oaiiK noies. m
addition to these we have sliver and
cold certificates which are, in effect,
certificates) of deHslt showing that
the learer thereof hns a certain num
ber of gold or silver dollars its the case
may be, on deposit with the treasury
of the United States which will b paid
on presentation of the certificate. These
certilicates are issued; merely ior me
accommodation and convenience of the
people, being more convenient for all
business purposes than the coin Itself.
SIMPLY TROMISSORY NOTES.
Our greenbacks are simply the prom
Issory notes of the United States. They
nro not money, but the promise of pay
money. They pnss current at their face
not from any Intrinsic, value of their
own, but because they have tieninu
them the honor nnd credit of the gov
crnment. If. when you present a green
back to the treasury of the United
States he refuses to pay It or is unable
to do so, or cannot give you 100 cents
In payment of it, you would nt once
say, "this concern Is Insolvent."
When a merchant cannot pny his
notes or refuses to do so, a judgment
is obtained, execution Issues and the
sheriff seizes his) goods nnd closes tip
his business. A sheriff's writ will not
Issue against the United States, but
when they cense to pay their debts In
good honest dollars worth one hundred
cents, their promissory notes and obli
gations fnll for n discount and will not
pnss current at their face. Just as they
did during the Rebellion when the
greenback fell to thirty-seven cents.
It is. therefore, the policy of the gov
ernment to maintain all its currency,
pnper, silver, nnd gold, at a parity, and
this Is done by requiring the United
States treasurer by law to redeem the
greenbacks In gold, nnd to exchange
gold for silver wherever twenty dol
lars of the latter, or any multiple there
of shall be presented. This is the rea
son why out silver dollars, while worth
only fifty-three cents us bullion, pass
current nt their face. Just as soon ns
they cannot be exchanged for gold,
dollar for dollar, they will fall to their
bullion value.
THK GOLD RESERVE.
Now In order to maintain the parity
of all these different Items of our cur
rency, it has been found necessnry to
keep a redemption fund ot gold on hand
In the treasury, and for this puriiose
$100,000,000 has been considered BUf-
flceut. This fund is called the gold re
serve, under Republican administra
tions, with proper tariffs, we have had
no difficulty In raising sufficient rev
enues to pay the expenses of the gov
ernment to reduce the public, debt, nnd
maintain this gold reserve. Hut for the
pnst three years the receipts of the gov
ernment have not been sufllcient to pay
Its expenses. The latter have exceeded
the former by from JTO.OOO.OOO to $1",0.-
000,000 per annum. Last month the de
ficit was i:i,ooo,ooo.
The government s obligations were
presented for payment, the gold reserve
reduced, and the government compelled
to stdl Its bonds and thus Increase the
public debt for the purpose of paying
expenses nnd maintaining the gold re
serve. If the revenues of the govern
ment were sufllcient, this would not be
necessary, nnd the financial problem
would be practically solved. It is for
this reason that a discussion of the
money question necessarily Involves a
discussion of the tariff. We insist that
a tariff should be levied sufllcient for
the needs of the government, and that
this tariff shall be laid with a view
to the protection of American labor.
WHAT DEMOCRATS SAY.
Our Democratic friends allege that
the net of 1873 demonetized silver, de
creased our circulation by half, and
lowered prices. Previous to the pass
age of that act there had been coined
In the United States during the entire
history of the government only 8,000,000
silver dollars, and these, owing to the
fnct that the discovery of the gold
fields of California In 1849 and the de
velopment of the Australia gold fields
and the consequent Increase in the out
put of gold had caused it to fall in
prices, were, as the dearer metal always
Is and always will be, driven to foreign
lands. They were taken to France
where the ratio of coinage was only
i to 1 and sold to the French mint
nt a profit of the seller of the differ
ence between the two ratios. The
country was thus depleted of silver,
so that at the passage of the act of 1873
we had in the entire United States only
between 800 and 1,000 Bilver dollars.
Since that time we have bought and
coined t.V0,000,000 In silver of which
t:!1.000,ooo are In dollars which, not
withstanding their depreciated valuo
as bullion In the world's markets, are
made legal tender at their face. Does
this look as though we had demone
tized silver? In the twenty years suc
ceeding the passage of the act of 1873,
we coined fifty-four times as many sil
ver dollars as during the entire eighty
one years preceedlng.
Not only this; but by making silver
a legal tender at Its face, and coining it
at less than Its value, wo have given
it the advantage of gold: for gold Is
coined at its bullion value, and is not
a legal tender at its face but only for
Its value; so when the gold coin is
abandoned or worn off it ceases to be
legal tender at Its face, and even the
United States government will take It
only by wvlght.
The reason of this is that the coining
of it has added nothing to its value.
but it Is merely the government s guar
anty of the purity and weight of the
metal when milled. Thus we have in
all these years given silver the ad
vantage of gold, and our opponents
would have you belive that demone
tiled twenty- three years ago. Rut If
we have true and independent free
coinage of silver, the silver dollar will
no longer be payable in gold or ex
changeable therefor as now, and it
wil lor should cease to be legal tender
at its face and become so for only Its
bullion value.
In other words It must stand upon Its
own bottom and not upon a gold basis.
This, free coinage necessarily Implies,
Now, if our friends are really in favor
of a bimetallic currency, why do they
not advocate the coinage of silver at Its
actual value, as was done before 1873?
No one would object to this unless on
account of the bulklness of the coin
which would make it almost Impossible
to use.
WHAT BRYAN ASKS.
This, however, is the ony way that
we can have free coinage of silver and
still maintain the circulation of gold
for the history of mankind has shown
that whenever two metals have been
coined In a country, one of them at
less than its value, the dearer metal has
been forced from, circulation.
Mr. Bryan asked ull debtors to vote
for free silver because they will tnen
be able to pay their debts with cheaper
dcdlars tlvan those received when the
debt was contracted. In almost the
same breath he says that the effect of
free coinage will not be to cheapen the
silver dollar but to "bull" the prices of
silver so that the silver dollar will be
come as valuable as the gold. Now
these propositions cannot both be true.
If the effect of free coinage be to cheap
en the dollar, will an honest debtor de
sire to pay his debt with a dollar less
valuable than the one he received?
This is a question of honesty and In
tegrity between nuan and man. Its In
justice will work both ways. Your
wages, whether you work in tne mine
or the factory, the mill or the farm, will
be paid In the same kind of dollars,
if, on the other hand, the effect of free
coinage Is to raise the price of silver
so thut the silver dollar will be os
valuable as the gold, what benefit will
you derive from It. It will cost Just as
much and will take Just as much labor
to enrn it. Who will then be benefited
by free coinage except the millionaire
owners of silver mines who will thus
be furnished with n, market for the
output of their mines at twice the pre'
ent market value.
WHAT YOU WOULD DO.
In short you would be voting out of
the pockets of the people of the Unitid
States Into the pockets of the wealthy
producers of sliver tho sum of JloO.OOO,
000 to JCiOO.OOO.ooo per year. Are you
willing to do this?
And now, as I close, let me urge upon
you by your votes to preserve our prl
vnte integrity and our public honor, so
that It may never lie said that either
our nation or its cttzens have repudiated
their contracts. Some of those whom 1
see before me wore the blue and bared
their breasts to protect our country
from those who sought her destruction
more than thirty years ago.
May I not ask you to again thrust
yourselves between her and those who
seek her dishonor, and to preserve now
as you did then, hc-r flng so that It mny
remain with not a strlne dimmed nor
a star blotted out, but its colors blight,
fadeless and beautiful as the brilliant
colors of the rainbow mixed In the
alemble of the Almighty and painted
upon the clouds of glory by the hand
of the inllnlte Artist of Life nnd Light,
BOY FELL INTO A SAND PIT
Most Sertoli Part Was In the Rescue,
When a Spade Cut a Gash
in His Head.
Anthony, the ln-yenr-'nld son of Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony J. Rogan, of 1862
iard street, Providence, may die from
a double accident, which befel him. He
was burled In a sand put Friday, and
one of the men digging to extricate him
sunk him spade Into the boy's head
and caused a scalp wound, running from
the top of the head to the base of the
skull. The wound Is a very dangerous
one and may result fatally.
The boy was sitting near the edge of
the pit, which Is not far from his home,
and he fell Into it accidentally, a great
quantity of sand covering him. The
alarm was at once given by the other
boys who were near by, nnd immediate
ly men set to work to dig for him. In
their eagerness to get him out alive the
men worked with all their might, and
one of the spades struck him on the
head.
When taken out he was unconscious
nnd was bleeding freely from the cut.
Dr. Colvln, of the North End, was sum
moned and is now attending to him. The
pit Is located near Kelser avenue In the
Second ward.
DECOYED AND R0BBO.
lien Koehlcr Tells a Lurid Story of
Hcing Relieved of HO.
Ren Koehler, of Olive street, who it
will be remembered was the star wit
ness In the Dr. Robinson investigation,
was the victim of a highway robbery
Saturday night, and a very sensational
highway robbery at that, if his story
Is as he tells it.
Koehler says that he was down In the
lower part of the town, in the region of
Franklin avenue, when he was ap
preached by a young man with a story
to the effect that there had been a wreck
on the Delaware and Hudson road, and
that one of the Injured passengers want
ed to see him. Arrived at Mifflin ave
nue, Koehler says, the man with the
story suddenly turned upon him, de-
clared himself to be a detective and
proceeded to place hint under arrest.
Koehler struggled, a rough and tumble
fight ensued, the man with the story
came out on top and when It was all
over Koehler was minus $40, which he
alleges the man with the story relieved
him of during the struggle.
The man with the story happened to
be a man about town also, and was
recognized by Koehlcr. He is Edwad
Nolan and his headquarters are around
the Franklin avenue saloons. Yester
day Koehler made a round of these
places and sighted Nolan. Chief Hob-
ling was notified and the accused was
locked up. He denied the charge in
toto, and says that as far as he is con
cerned Koehler Is telling a fairy story.
The hearing In the case will take
place this morning.

WAGON RUN DOWN
BY TROLLEY CAR
Frightful Accident at Dutch Gap Last
Evening.
ONE KILLED AND THREE INJURED
Horse Shied and Pluagcd Across the
Track Directly ia Front of a Kapidly
Approaching Peckville Car-Thc
Pour Occupants Had No Time to
Jump and All Were Caught in the
Crash.
Peckville car No. 8 crashed into a
wagon containing four Slavonians, two
men and two women, near Parker
street, at 6.15 o'clock last evening, kill
ing one of the women, Mrs. Mary Ka
walchlck. of 427 South Washington ave
nue; seriously If not fatally injuring
her niece, Miss Mary Slmpka, of Buf
falo, and causing painful injuries to her
husband, John Kawalchick, and a
friend of the family, George Hackulich,
also of South Washington avenue.
Their horse shied Just as the car was
within a few feet of them and plunged
across the tracks. The rear part of the
wagon was struck by the car and the
occupants were hurled in all directions.
Mrs. Wawalchtek fell across one of
the rails and the wheels passed over
her left leg lnceratlng It In a terrible
manner and almost completely sever
ing It between the ankle and knee.
She also sustained a frightful sculp
wound, and being a woman of 200
pounds no doubt suffered what at all
events would have proved a fatal
shock. She died at the .Lackawanna
hospital at 11.40 p. m.
The Slmpka girl was hurled forwnrd
about twenty feet lauding on her left
side and fracturing two of her ribs
Just to the rear und slightly below the
arm-pit. She hud great difficulty in
breathing and it Is feared the ends of
the fractured ribs presjs against or
possibly have punctured her lung. She
Is nineteen years of age and a large,
fine looking girl.
Kawalchick and Hackulich, who oc
cupied the front seat escaped with
comparatively slight injuries. The
husband was so frantic with grief that
he would not allow the doctors to ex
amine him but Judging from the way
he limited and exclamations of pain
which occasionally dropped from his
lips he is badly bruised about the hips.
An examination of Hackulich showed
that his shoulder was painfully bruis
ed and lacerated.
SIMPKA GIRLS CONDITION.
Nothing definite can be told of the
Slmpka girl's condition until today. She
was in too great pain last night, and too
nervous to permit of any extended ex
amination so the doctors decided to put
It off until this morning. They are sat
isfied that two of her ribs are broken,
but as to whether or not this will en
tail any very serious results they could
not say. She Is at the house of George
Shirus, near where the calamity occur
red and where she was Immediately re
moved. The greatest excitement prevailed Im
mediately following the accident and
the witnesses were consequently In no
condition to calmly note things. There
are ns a result vurlous stories of the
occurence, all differing more or less as
to detallu. All deslnturested witnesses,
however, agree that the motorman was
only blumable as far as the speed of
his car was concerned. All agree that
the car was moving very rapidly and
circumstances would tend to Bhow this
to be true. The accident occurred mid
way between Parker and Deacon streets
on an almost level stretch of road. The
cars generally attain a very good speed
coming down Knight's hill, and as a rule
run rapidly along this particular piece
of the road. The car which caused yes
terday's sad calamity it seems wns no
exception. The motorman, Peter Alles,
and Conductor George Ferry both de
clare that they were going only at a
moderate speed, but eye witnesses of
the occurrence) aver that the speed was
very rapid.
The Kuwulchloks and their guests
wore returning from a visit among
Peckvillo friends and were Jogging
along at an easy gait when they reached
the place where the accident occurred.
The approaching carcuused their horse
to become a llttlo uneusy, but It ap
pears Kawalchick, who was driving,
was not expecting that the horse would
bfceome frightened) nnd consequently
wns not prepared to check him when
hei suddenly swerved and plunged
across the track.
ONLY A CAR LENGTH AWAY.
The car it would appear was not
more thun a length away when the
horse made its mad jump. Before any
of the occupants had time to think
much loss leap the car was upon them.
The cur was reversed at the first sign
of the impending accident and was
brought to a stop about twenty paces
from where tho wagon was struck. The
fender and headlight of the car were
broken and the wngon was demolished,
but the horse escaped without a
scratch.
Mrs. Kawalchick was carried into
Lloyd's drug store and the Lackawanna
huspltal ambulance summoned. While
waiting for the arrival of the ambu
lance the Injured woman was cared for
by Doctors Lloyd and Lackey. Miss
Slmpka was carlred Into George Shl
ras' house on the other side of the
street and the same physicians attend
ed her.
At the hospital Doctors I H. Qlbbs,
Blanchard and Fish did all in their
power for the unfortunate woman, but
after an hour's work unfailing symp
toms showed that death was nigh and

minutes of twelve.
The motorman and conductor were
placed under arrest by Lieutenant
Spellman of the North End precinct.
He permitted them to run their car
back to the central city and telegraphed
for an officer to meet them at the dis
patcher's office. They were taken to
the central police station but after be
ing detained about an hour were re
leased on the recognizance of General
Manager Frank Slllman, Jr., and Spec
ial Agent P. W. Gallagher.
The dead woman was 40 years of age
and the mother of one boy, John Kaw
alehlk, age 19. The Kawalchiks keep
a milk depot at 427 South Washington
avenue and are quite well-to-do.
Accident cn Laurel Hill Line.
An accident happened on the Laurel
Hill line about & o'clock In the eve
ning In which two women were slightly
injured. Two cars were ascending the
grade which leads up from Clay ave-
nue at the end ot tho level stretch, and
when the first car got near the top of
the hill the power gave out and the
brakes could not hold the car.
It ran backward and bumped into the
second car, shaking up the passengers
on both. The second car was derailed
and the wreck car had to come to re
place it. Mrs. Letchworth, of Dunmore,
and a woman whose name could not be
learned were bruised slightly, and aside
from these two cases no other injuries
were reported.
TEN-FOOT RESERVATION.
Subject of an Injunction Among Penn
Avenue Property Owners.
Judge Archbald heard evidence Sat
urday in the equity suit of Jacob Fer
ber and P. J. Vetter against Michael
Flaherty. The hearing took place in
the arbitration room of the court house.
Mr. Flaherty was building a house on
Penn avenue adjoining the plaintiffs'

use of the ten-foot reservation in the
construction of a bay wlndow.although
the deed of the lot expressly specifies
that he can use It only for porch, yard
or shrubbery. Architect Worden tes
tified that he drew the plans and that
It Is only a bay window. The hearing
