FINANCIAL TOPICS.
The Theories OF the Gold Bugs Refuted-
The Question OF Values Practically

form.


To the Editor of the Sentinel:
SIR-If in order, would like to offer a
few suggestions to the voters of our great
state as we'll as to the thousands of readers
throughout the country. The Journal,
News and organs of the republican party
generally are whining and growing over
little gold like puppy over dry bone;
they tug and twist at 1t as il their entire
existence depends upon it. full grown
dog of ordinary Independence would scorn
the one as the people will the advice and
teaching of the others. These journals are
suppose / to be published for the benefit and
edification of the business men of all classes,
manufacturers, merchants, miners, mechan.
les, farmers, stock dealers, tradesmen and
laborers, and in fact the great mass OF pro-
ducers and consumers are ths patrons
of these mouthpieces of the worst
element that the country has to con-
tend with. bondholders and money gamblers.
The teach ing of ali these organs is directly
in the interest of the few non producers and
against the rest OF the entire population;
contraction and eternal debt is the universal
theme OF their discussions. obSchred, how
ever, from the. detection OF the careless
reader by the dazzling beauty of gold, which
they 80 earnestly press forward 10 attract the
attention from the real questions. Let us
put aside this golden calf for ss,moment and
and examine the theories they ADVANCED
and urge the unfortunate debtor or
business man to accept, viz:
1. There is abundant money in the coun-
try to meet the demands of all Legitimate
business etc. If there is, then the only
lie ultimate business we have in this country
is banking, as no other class. of business men
are supplied.
g We don't want the dollar of our dad
| dies, (412H grains) as it is not worth within
| per cent of 25.6 grains of gold.
Well, now, why not2 If not, it is because
there is not enough gold to meet the de-
| mand. 1t is only worth TO the people of the
world just what its owners can
force them to pay for it. and
| If the demand in other countries
is becoming so great by the manipulation OF
the legal wires by the money lords, it will
be very unreliable basis" for us, Yith all
| our rich resources yet undevelope6 Then
| suppose 4l2H grains of silver are not in as
great demand as Is grains vi gold; is that
any reason why we should abolish our silver
| dollars? The same reasoning would destroy
almost every productive interest in our
country. For instance, to day, perhaps, a
poun of corn is not worth pound OF cot
| ton, or wheat or lead; does it follow that
corn ought 10 be forced into disuse2 One day
4l2X grains of silver were more valuable
! than % 8 grains of gold; and from the fact
that 1t is not TO day tits evident that il we
want any stability 70 the basis OF values iii

The Contribution BOX.
TThe Rev. David Swing.I


There are some institutions among men
which are confessedly great Time has Sc
lected them from large company, and has
symbolized them in some word or phrase.
Pronounce the name of some of those
blessed potentates. The school house is one;
there, in childhood, we pass from darkness
heart communes with God, there it is
washed white by penitence and prayer.
The Preside is one; there the hottest friend
snip holds sway, and makes man feel that
only Heaven can atone for the fading of the
fire on the earthly hearth. The national
flag is one; for it waves in the name OF
powerful patriotism, and in the
name of all the glory of country.
The ballot box is another emblem. and OH
how sacred, for to it the aggregate reason of
an sge comes anG speaks in a
voice that throws down the walls
and thrones of despots. And now let us
add one more symbol, long despised indeed,
but really noble in the midst OF noble
host 1t is the contribution box. Into the
ballot box goes the intelligence of the COM
munity, but into that worthy rival, the con-
tribution box, goes the love of the benevo-
lent Indeed this less glorified institution
has. for the most part, preceded the ballot,
for the ship of the missionary and the
teacher sails first to make man fit to enjoy
the blessings of freedom. Charity precedes
liberty. Beautiful, indeed, is the picture
when a humble man goes with mind full
of intelligence and deposits his vote, but q
picture so striking finds its equal in that
scene where the poor widow advances, and,
all aglow with the light of benevolence, puts
in the contribution box her two mites.

ST.. LOUIS has a sensation in the shape OF a
will case that will make as much stir in that
city as the Vanderbilt trial is making in
New York. The will is that Of James Glenn
ems, Jr., and the amount involved is $6,0OO,-
600. The document was signed in 1867. and
by it two daughters and son are disinher-
tied. 1t has been supposed that this paper
had been destroyed, and much surprise was
created when it was understood that it had
been sent anonymously to judge of the
city. The air is full of rumors, and the rel
atives and friends are about equally divided
in regard to the authenticity OF the paper.

TREASURY BOOK.KEEPING.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says:

an examination of the system Of keeping the

loans and the cost of refunding the debt. II

OF this amount S9,7SS 1913 were premiums

loans aud S. Sl $50 SO for refunding the public
debt. Since 1850 there has been a net increase
of the debs of 81 Si5 973 81, and net decrease
of SOLO, 4S,5Sl.T, while the total interest ac-
count from that time 20 the present has been

half the principal OF the ds0t. I re total debt
at the close of 1871 amounted to S2.205 0i 1872 10
showing net increase during that yoar of
34,905,324y0.
Here are startling facts we'll calculated
still further to emphasize the demand to
relieve John Sherman and men of bis ilk
from the control of the finances of the coun-
try. The figures are simply asiound-
ing. and win force upon the minds
of the people the conviction that the treas

country but the most thorough ana exhaust

of bookkeeping must be fully ex
posed, until the country Is fully advised in
regard to the extent of the frauds that have

partments OF the government must be over
hauled. Only . small fraction o.

country in quest of business? Aud here let
me refer briefly to the state of business of
other prominent towns in comparison to
that of your own beautiful and
thriving state capital, Indianapolis. In
visiting Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland and
Toledo, Ohio, could not help noticing how
much less busy the people seemed to be
there compared with those of Indianapolis.
In Columbus there seemed to be dead calm
resting over that quiet city. and nothing
troubled its peaceful rest save the arrival OF
trains with politicians and office seekers who
had come to tackle the state house nagnates
at the opening of the legislature for some
thing to keep them and their friends from
starving to death in the face of hard times.
In conversation VITA q gentleman from
Oberlin, Ohi,, who went there to get inNhis
work for sergeant alarms and failed, he
stated that it was given up that never before
were there so many politicians, In rank from
Thomas Ewing down to Private Dalzell,

Its venality, mendacity, dupliclty and folly,
it seeks to regain its lost ground by again
dragging forth the 'bloody shirt" a nasty
symbol of dead radicalism, with the hope of
DETECTING the people from their purpose in
changing the business and financial legisla-
ton of congress. In the wealth of its hatu-
lency it pirates of the war and of sectional
ism. In its stupidity it believes that the
people of Indiana will turn from their high
resolves to discuss over again bloody shirt
heracies. The Shylock organ will find out
its mistake in due time. Its treason is I'M
derstood, and as the days come and go 1t
will find itself carrying an ever increasing
load of the peoples contempt.

The discoveries already made show how the
Shylocks have made money. The syndicate,
by the aid of the secretary of the treasury,
has been able to pocket nearly 500, 900, 600

time when business of every description was
depressed to the last degree of endurance
