WILLIAM M'KIXLEV.
Tho ticket nominated at Indianapolis
yesterday by the Bold Democrats will
probably be the thPnie of greater spec
ulation than any irregular ticket here
tofore placed before the people. While
the candidacy of Palmer and Buckner
can have no dangerous effect upon the
prospects of McKlnley and Hobart,
there will doubtless be a diversity of
opinion as to what actual Influence it
will wield in the campaign. The nomi
nation of Si-nntor Palmer and General
Buckner effectually extinguishes any
hopes that the Uryanltes may have en
tertained for suVcess In Illinois and
Kentucky. Whether their interests
will be supported by gold Democrats
everywhere is the question that will
probably provoke endless debate until
election. While leading gold Democrats
elsewhere may regard the ticket in a
favorublo light as a means of keeping
up an organization, it seems more than
probnble that they will emphasize their
disapproval of tho Chicago platform
by voting direct for McKlnley and Ho
bart. A Fraud and a Robbery.
"There Is another element of mean
ness in this tree coinage of silver. The
United States has always paid its bonds
In gold coin or its equivalent. In the
darkest hours of the Civil War we stipu
lated to pay our bonds, principal and
Interest, in gold or its equivalent. All
of the war debt has been paid In this
way. A portion of it was paid by the
(ale of bonds bearing; a lower rate of in
terest, but we exacted from the pur
chasers of these bonds gold coin or its
equivalent even while our notes were
below par In coin. About $847,000,000 of
these securities are now outstanding, of
which $262,000,000 were sold by this ad
ministration and paid for In gold. It is
one of tho objects of those who advo
cate tho free coinage of silver to force
the government to pay these bonds In
silver coin reduced In value. It Is harsh
to express this opinion of a measure
favored by many good people, but I can
not regard It In any other light but as
both a fraud and a robbery, and all the
worse If committed by a great, rich and
free people. A citizen who should com
mit such an offence would be punished
by tho courts or denounced as dishonest,
but a nation like ours is beyond the
power of any tribunal but conscience
and God.
"I have the confident hope that the
great body of tire Republican and Demo
cratic parties, representing tho conser
vative elements of our people, will
stamp their rebuke upon this measure
of infamy, ami thus preserve Intact the
honor, the credit and glory of our great
country. This matter of the free coin
age of silver and the degradation of the
standards of valuo Involves not only
questions, of money,' but of honor and
good faith. When thfa honof Is Involved,
tho people never-fail to-respond. They
havo complied with every promise and
paid every debt contracted since the or-
,
ganlsatlon of the national government
as It became due. Th y have paid four
fifths of the debts contracted during the
Civil War, and the prospect was hope
ful that all of It would be paid before
the close of this century, but this revers
ing our standards of value has. like the
fire bell at night, startled and alarmed
our people. Let us settle it by following
the action of Washington, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Benton, Hunter, Lincoln and
Grant: let us maintain silver and gold
at par with each other at the legal ratio
of 1C to I until a conference among na
tions can prescribe common standards
of value. In the meantime let no act be
done, no policy be adopted, no expedi
ent resorted to that will tarnish the
honor of this great Republic." Senator
John Sherman.
The platform adopted by the Gold
Democrats at Indianapolis, which de
nounces almost everything, reminds one
of the remarks of (he individual who
stood In the market place and rejoiced
that he was not like other men.
'I do not know what yon think
about it, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
mill of the United States to the
labor of America-thnn to open up
the mints or the I'nitcd States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
An invisible string appears to have
been nttached to Senator Palmer's dec
lination of the presidential nomination
at Indianapolis.
Debtors and Creditors.
The prevailing Impression Is that the
great mass of the American people
constitute the debtor class, and that
only the rich money-holding, capitalis
tic class constitutes the creditors. The
truth Is that the creditor class is very
much more numerous in this country
than the debtor class, and that the
wealthiest Individuals and corpora
tions constitute the greater part of the
debtor class. This fact Is mode clear
by Borne statistics given by ex-Superintendent
of the Census Porter In his ex
cellent paper, the Cleveland World. He
says:
There are at this time .56 standard
life Insurance companies doing busi
ness In the United States, and 350 as
sessment life Insurance companies. The
standard life Insurance companies have
R,"02,393 policy-holders and the assess
ment companies have 3.038,813 policy
holders, making a total of over twelve
million policy-holders. Each policy
holder Is a creditor for the amount he
has paid in, and is vitally interested In
the repayment of the money to his fam
ily in the kind of money that he has
paid for his premiums. The least esti
mate placed on the average policy
holder's family is a wife and two chil
dren, so that 406 insurance companies
constitute the life insurance debtor
clnss and 36 millions the creditor class.
The amount now In the hands of the
life insurance companies, as trustees
for their creditors, exceeds nine billion
dollars, or seven times the present Na
tional debt.
There are in this country C56 fire In
surance companies. In 1890 the num
ber of dwellings in the United States
was computed at 11.4S3.313. It is safe
to say t'hut at least 10,000,000 of these
dwellings are Insured against fire, and
that most of that JO,000,000 of creditors
are interested In the standard money
which Is to be repaid them In case of a
loss by fire.
The number of savings banks In the
United States In 1895 is reported to be
1,017, and the number of depositors
4,S"5,519, and their deposits aggregate
$1,S10.597,023. 'Each of these depositors
In the savings banks is a creditor and
each savings bank is a debtor.
There ar.j In this country, in addition
to the number of savings banks, in
round numbers 8,000 National and
State banks and private banking insti
tutions. The lowest estimate of the
number of depositors Is 1,000 to each
bank, while the highest estimate of the
number of patrons who obtain loans Is
200 to each bank. Each of these deposi
tors is a creditor to the bank. Just as
the note holders are debtors. It is
therefore manifest that every debtor to
the bank is represented by at least four
creditors. , The aggregate number of
debtors to the banks would, therefore,
be 1,608,000, while the aggregate num
ber of creditors is 8,000,000.
All paper money is credit money.
The holder of every National bank
note Is a creditor, and the bank that is
sued it is the debtor. The holder of
every greenback and every Treasury
note and every paper dollar, whether
redeemable In gold or silver, is a cred
itor, and tho United States of America
Is debtor. Deducting the credit money
now held by the United States Treas
ury, the aggregate credit money In the
Yialids of tho people exceeds $750,000.
Assuming that this) currency is appor
tioned among the people so that $50
shall be the average amount held by
any individual (and this is certainly a
Very high average, as there are mil
lions who have less than $10 of paper
money), wo have an aggregate of fif
teen million creditors as against 3,773
National banks and the United States.
In other words, the psnr money in the
United States represents fifteen mil
lion creditors to 3,756 debtors, or 3,993
creditors for every debtor.
The latest reliable report concerning
the condition of building and loan asso
ciations is that made for 1893 by Carroll
D. Wright, United States Commissioner
of Labor. The number of such com
panies Is given as 6,598, and the number
of shareholders, as 1,745,735. Each of
these shareholders Is a creditor, and the
associations are debtors.
There are In the United States 388,631
public school teachers, 20,293 teachers In
universities, colleges and other institu
tions of learning, and 111,000 salaried
ministers of the gospel. Each person
belonging to these classes Is vitally con
cerned in maintaining the present stan
dard of money. The colleges and uni
versities of the country are more es
pecially Interested, since they have an
income-producing fund of $98,527,452.
and their Income, exclusive of United
States bond investments, Is $5,277,052.
The pension rolls of the United States
contain 975,000 pensioners, of which 214,
000 are widows. Their annual pensions
amount to $140,000,000. Each of the. pen
sioners is a creditor and the United
States of America is debtor. Each of
these pensioners is concerned In main
taining the existing standard of money.
There is anotftfr class of creditors
which practically constitute the rank
and file of American bread-winners.
Reference is made to the men and wo
men on the pay-rolls of corporate em
ployers. The railroads of America alone
carry on their pay-rolls 7S5.000 wage
workers. It Is a matter of common
practice to hold back the wages of these
railroad employes to the 10th or 15th of
each month, so that each has a week or
two wages due when paid off. In other
words, each lndlvidunj on the railroad
pay-roll is a creditor from $20 to $50,
and each would therefore be vitally con
cerned lit the maintenance of the pres
ent standard of money.
There are at least 3,000,000 more wage
earners employed in mills and factories
and mines who are paid oft monthly,
and are always creditors for from one
to two weeks' wages due from their em
ployers. The prevailing impression is that the
number of debtors who have mortgaged
their farms and homes Is vastly In ex
cess of the number of persons who are
Interested as creditors in maintaining
the existing standard. According to
the census of 1S90 tho total number of
real estate mortgages in the United
States was 4,777,0'JS, of which 2,303,061
were farm and acre-land mortgages,
and 2.474,637 town and lot mortgages. It
is safe to say that tho number of farm
mortgages at this date does not exceed
2,000,000, and the town lot mortgages will
also fall below 2,000,000, owing to the
fact that few new loans have been ne
gotiated within the past five years.
Manifestly the mortgage debtor clnss Is
more than offset by the creditors to sav
ings banks, and constitutes only one
third of the policy-holding creditors of
life Insurance companies and one-half of
the number of depositing creditors in
banks other than saving banks, and
only a fraction more than one-third of
the bank-note holders who are creditors
to the banks of Issue and the United
States of America.
"Free silver would not mean that
silver dollars were to be freely hud
without cost or labor. It would mean
the free use of the mints of the I'nitcd
States tor tho few who are owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the many who are en
gaged in other enterprises."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY
Warning has been sent to Senator
Ben Tillman that the fences around his
North Carolina political possessions
are at present in no condition to keep
the neighboring cattle out.
Vermont without question may be In
cluded In the territory defined by Mr.
Bryan as "the enemy's country."
The "Monroe doctrine" seems to have
fallen overboard at Buzzard's Bay.
A
WUkes-Barro exchanges have recently
been indulging In considerable good na
tured talk In reference to the superiority
of the Wllltes-Bnrro lire department over
the Scranton organization. In lauding tho
excellence of their own companies, how
ever, our contemporaries certainly do an
Injustice to the faithful and unselfish
members of the Scranton Are department.
While It Is admitted that a paid organiza
tion might at times be more efficient, no
one can question the bravery an enterprise
of our self-saerltlclng fire laddies who
keep up excellent organizations In in
stances where deserved encouragement
and support are not always revived.
Whatever may be the differences that at
times exist in the organization It Is evi
dent to all who have knowledge of the
subject that the Scranton fire department
Is one of the most efficient Hnd enterpris
ing organizations of the kind In the world.
An Interesting paper fom tho pen of Ed
ward Merrltleld entitled "Scranton Imme
diately Prior to the Purchase by the Lack
awanna Iron and Coal Company," has
been Issued by the Lackawanna Institute
of History and Science. As 'the years go
by these articles based upon reminiscences
of the early days of the Lackawanna val
ley, when the flourishing Electric City
was but a hamlet, must prove more and
more Interesting to our people. The Lack
awanna Institute Is doing commendable
work In preserving data of pioneer life in
Northeastern Pennsylvania which will be
of Interest to generations to come.
The announcement that Hetty Green
offers to give tlOO.000 as an endowment fund
for a home for aged and Infirm actrepses
has called forth a suggestion from a funny
exchange to the effect that the aged can
always secure positions as chorus girls. It
Is to be regretted that in this age any re
putable newspaper will permit tho rehash
of this worn-out joke. The perpetrator of
the above will probably spring the mother-in-law
gag next.
Professor Coles, In Storms and Signs,
predicts dire calamities for the month of
September. There would not be so much
objection to the professor's prophecies, but
for the fact that they are generally ful
filled. About the only grain of comfort
offered by the philosophical astronomer
this month is the announcemnt that a
gold cyclone will sweep over the country
and that nothing can stop the coming of
better times that are near at hand. Hurry
'em up, professor 1
-
Tho Kodak, Wllkes-Barre's funny pa
per, says that "Scranton cannot appreciate
Colonel Falrman and his art. There
are several fhousand dollars worth of
Colonel Fatrman's paintings hanging
against the walls of nrlvate resi
dences In this city and vicinity. This looks
like appreciation, but oerhans there is a
joke concealed In the Kodak's remarks
that is too fine to bo appreciated outside
of Wllkes-Barre.
Editor Cruser, of the Montrose Demo
crat, has always been considered some
Mr? "?
thing of a dude. Since receiving tho con
gressional nomination from a combina
tion of Democrats and Populists, however.
It Is expected that he will have to be con
tent with one suspender and esctjrw boiled
shirts and shoe blacking.
DOES NOT ADVOCATE VEAL
CUTLETS.
Wllkes-Barre Times.
Gordon Hew, the Cornell university stu
dent, who mysteriously disappeared
about two years ago and who was sup
posed to have been drowned in Cayuga
lake, his watch and other valuables being
found on the bank, has written his par
ents from India. No doubt he expects to
return soon and be received with open
arms, etc. He ought to be received with
a club.
IS THERE ANOTHER LIFE.
Professor Goldwin Smith, in the July
Forum.
Is there any voice In our nature which
distinctly tells us that death Is not the
end? It there Is, there seems to bo no
reason why we should not listen to It,
even though Its message may be Inca
pable of verification such as In regard to
a matprial hypothesis Is required by physi
cal science. That tho Intelligence of our
fbe senses, of which science Is the syste
matized record, Is exhaustive, we have. It
must once more be said, no apparent
ground for assuming; the probability
seems to be the other way; it seems likely
that our senses, mere nerves even If com.
pletely evolved, are Imperfect monitors,
and that we may be living in a universe of
which we really know as little as the mole
which no doubt seems to Itself to per
ceive everything that Is perceptible
knows of the world of sight. Now, there
does seem to be a voice In 'every man
which, if ho will listen to It, tells him that
his account Is not closed at death. Th
good man, however unfortunate ha may
have been, and even though he may not
have found Integrity profitable, feels at
the end of life a satisfaction in his past
and an assurance that In the sum of
things he will find that that he has chosen
aright. The most obdurately wicked man,
however his wickedness may have pros
pered, will probably wish when ho comes
to die that he had lived the Ufa of the
righteous. It may bo possible to explain
the sanctions or warnings of conscience
generally as tho Influence of human opln.
Ion reflected In the Individual mind, trans
mitted perhaps by Inheritance and accu
mulated In transmission. But such an ex
planation will hardly cover the case of
deathbed self-approbation or remorse.
Thero seems to bo no reason why we
should not trust the normal Indications of
our moral nature as the normal Indica
tions of our bodily sense; and against the
belief that the greatest benefactors and
the greatest enemies of mankind rot at
last In tho same grave our moral nuture
vehemently rebels.
OUt RIGHTFUL PLACE.
From the Cleveland World.
There arc lu the United States nearly
23,UW,U00 persons enguged In the galntul
occupations. Taking the actual census
returns wherever given and estimating
the earning capacity of this vast army
at the lowest figure, we hnve between
ll,00i,000,000 and $12,000,1)00,000 per annum.
This tremendous earning power makes
us the richest market In the world for
tho 'products of European and Asiatic
labor.
Bedause of the higher condition of
American labor In the tielJ, the mine
and the workshop, we are able to buy
more. Take, for example, a silver coun
try like Japan and compare the purchas
ing power or Its population, working as
they do twelve and fourteen hours per
day, and It would be only one-tweltth of
the United States. For every dollar tho
Japanese would have to spend the Amer
ican would have $12. Tho Jupanese simply
goes without many things which the
American regards as neccessary,
from a loss of part of these enormous
facts shows that the United States, for
the past three years, ha3 been suffering
from a loss of part of these enormous
earnings; a loss of Its consuming power.
We have made less commodities, we have
worked less men and paid less wages.
Our gold has gone abroad to pay for In
creased Importations of foreign manu
factured goods and agricultural products,
and our finances have been' deranged by
reason of enormous deficiencies in the
revenue. Distrust and lack of confidence
have done the rest. Once put the Income's
of the people on a prosperous basis again,
and the money question will disappear.
Certainly the preposition to reduce our
standard of living, wages and money to
thnt of Japan, the lowest In the scale,
will not help matters.
The place for the United States, both
In wagfs and In tho Integrity of its finan
cial system Is at tho head of the nations
of the? earth, and there the Intelligence
and patriotism of Its voters propose to
keep the republic, only In that )laco
can we fulfill our manifest destiny.
