wAGEEARNEKs Nor I'M 1r.


1t was desperate effort the silverites
made at Chicago to draft the wage
earners into their ranks They retained
PowDERLY, who appears to be open to
retainer from all class interests, and
they portrayed the ruin of the wage
earning classes as one of the purposes
of the gold-bugs. Thev appealed to
them to join hands in demoishIng the
common enemy. They evidently count
ed on success, for they appointed a
mass meeting on the lake front, with
several stands for speakers to instruct
the immense gathering they anticipated.
Abouta thousand people went out on
the lake front to hear the speeches :;
only a thousand, mostly idlers. in city
full of lab0ring men. 1t was crushing
defeat, full of chagrin to the promoters
and of significance 10 the rest of the ma
ton. 1t shows that the silver miners
must depend on those farmers whom
they can delude, and it makes plain to the
nation the insignificance of the move
ment.
The indifference of the wage earners
to this appeal is easily understood. The
motive of the movement is purely
selfish. 1t is self-interest solely. The
mask of patriotism and philanthropy
with which they seek to mask it is too
gauZy to hide the real purpose behind
it. The silver miners want Sl.29 an
ounce for their silver worth but 20 cents.
The farmers in the movement want a
higher price for their produce. Both
know that free coinage means single
standard. with silver for that standard.
They know that that Will result in an
initiation of prices. The man who has
anything to sell will want two silver
dollars worth 80 cents each for what
he would take one gold dollar for. Rela-
lively, then, prices will advance.
But the interest of the wage Garner is
precisely adverse to this. He will not

perience chat it is the slOwest upward

hands with alacrity and chePrfulness of

of his living. If this is to be game of
selfish interests merely, he will play his
own cards. If chestnutS are to be raked

He played the cat to the protected

His selfshness was played on by the
benefciarles of the tariff for a long
time. and successfully. He has learned
that in, the game of selfshness others

RETURNING CONFIDENCE

The situation in st. Paul yesterday
indicated that confidence in our finan-
cial institutions is rapidly being re-
stored.
Now that people find they can get
their money on call, they do not want
it. They only want their money if
they think they cannot get it. This
is human nature, and has been for sew
eral years.
If this confidence remains, it will be
but short time before the furry will
have been forgotten. The movements
to reopen the suspended banks can be
rapidly pushed to completion.
The officers and stockholders of the
Peoples bank were taking steps yester-
day which will probably result in the
opening of the bank within the next
two or three days.
The magnitude of the National Ger
man-American will require more time
for resumption. The stockholders are
widely scattered, and the general feel
ing is that there must be a reduced cap
italiZatiOn. 1t will require time to ac-
compiish this, but the prevailing Senti-
ment of those interested Is that it will
be edone at an early day. That great
financial Institution will not be lost to
the city.
The condition of affairs in the East
continues to improve. The flowof gold
from Europe to this country continues
uninterrupted.
Tomorrow congress will begin its
work of relief, and the repeal of the
SHERMAN act is now only question of
short time.
There is every reason in the outlook
for encouragement, and none for de-
spondency.

KEGS OF GOLD FOR BALLAST

The wires announce the return of
gold TO this country in the identical
kegs in which it was shipped out few
months ago. If they have been opened
atall, it was merely to verify the count.
Probably were not opened. There
is no reason why they should have
been.
On ships laden with freight liable to
shift you will see barrels filled with
sand. Their Office is to trim the ship
when the shifting cargo or other cause
makes her list. The barrels are rolled
to the lighter side, restoring the balance
and righting the ship.
These kegs of gold are performing
for our international trade the balanc-
ing function performed by the barrels
of sand for the ship. AS the balance of
debt, not trade, moves with excess of
purchases from one country to the other,
listing the credit side over, these kegs
roll to the debit side to restore the
balance.
The barrels of sand on the ship bear
but small proportion to the bulk of the
cargo, and still they cause it to ride
easily on even keel. The kegs of gold
which balance the debts and credits of
commerce are slight in value as COM
pared with the commerce which they
steady. Ii export values always
equaled import values there would be
no financial shifting: to be remedied, and
there would be no use for the kegs of
gold. Until that time comes through
removal of trade Instructions, kegs OF
gold will have to make their forward
and backward trips across the ocean to

A STUPID OFFICIAL

BY one of those strange political acci-
dents which sometimes occur in the
best regulated cities, person who. we
have been told, bears the name of MIL
LER, has been allowed to stray into the
office of the city treasurer.
Save for his stupidity his existence
would hardly be known, but based on
the amount of that element which he
can display, his fame ought to be world
wide.
Day before Yesterday he concluded he
would join in the financial scrimmage
and close a bank or two, just for luck
and prestige. He accordingly looked
the field over, and finding he had suf-
ticient city funds in the West Side bank
to close ii, if demand for immediate
payment was made, proceeded in a
spirit of financial hilarity to draw his
checks upon that Institution.
OF course, the city was not only pro-
tected by the stability OF the bank itself,
but heavy bond had also been given.
This person by the name of-(never
mind the name)-chuckled to himself
as the thought of his coming achieve
ment penetrated his dull brain. He
grew happy as he imagined what a
great man he would make of himself by
Suspending little bank, and forthwith
proceeded to do up the job with neat
ness and dispatch.
The bank circumvented him by sus-
pending without paying the checks, and
now he is wondering where he is att
as he poses as the tinancier of the
Northwest.
If he keeps on i'll the same line of eff
fort we may be able to recall his name
again before he completes his financial
record.

DISCREET SPEAKER CRISP.

DAS SD EIEL OE EEA II aIkO CfLtS
In the Democratic caucus at Wash
ington last evening there was no tangi-
BILE opposition to the denomination of
eX-Speaker CRISP. The expected hap
pened, and the harmony prevailing at
the choice CT speaker appeared to ex-
tend to other selections for minor
officers.
In his brief speech OF acceptance MIR.
CRISP followed closely the lines of his
memorable remarks in '92, when he
promised to take no backward step in
tariff reform. Upon the silver question
Mr.. CRISP was strangely silent; or, per-
hapS, more properly speaking, his fail
ure to aliude to this lively topic may be
construed as strange by those who look
no deeper than the surface of current
events. But there are many cogent
reasons why the next speaker of con-
greSs should touch lightly upon this
question, or avoid it altogether. In the
first place, the currency question of to-
day is not a party issue as between
Democracy and Republicanism. The
tariff is such an issue. and upon 1t the
Democratic party has won splendid vic
tories i'll the past.
Secondly, it was fitting in the new
speaker to avoid allusion to a topic
whereby he might forestall the message
of President CLEVELAND. and. possibly,
to some extent antagonize its details.
During the past three weeks Mr..
CRISP has skillfully avoided any inter,
views upon the silver question. And
yet no man, perhaps, more fully under
stands President CLEvELAND's position
in the matter than does Mr.. CRISP. Due
consideration of the rather striking
omission in his speech must convince
conservative thinkers that he followed
the dictates of good taste in his silence
That Mr.. CRISP halls from what may
be termed a free silver state cuts nc
figure either way. AS presiding officer
| he is looked to for impartiality in his
| rulings. Especially is this true in sc
delicate a matter as the question of re
peal of the SHERMAN act, question
winch has already disrupted the two
great parties, and is probably destined
to breed considerable acrimonious de.

and English youth bring to their civic
duties a familiarity with sound prin-
ciples which preserves them from the
sophistries to which so many of our
people fall easy victims. The interview
published yesterday with Archbishop
IRELAND suggests direction in which
educational efforts might be beneficialIv
directed in our schools. There is
prevalent misconceptiOn of the function
which banks play in our social structure.
Demagogues play on this ignorance, and
on the prejudiceS of people envious' Of
wealth. BANKS are made to appear as
'the money power" one of the choicest
of the demagOgue's ogres: they are the
vampires of society who fasten on it to
suck from its veins the money which is
the blood of trade and Industry. Ifthe
boys ant girls who are the men and
women of today had been taught
at their schools that banks have
no money of their own except
enough to give them standing ami
credit and confidence; that the
money they own is but small per cent
OF the money handled by them; that
they are to the money of the community
only what the butchers are to the farm
ers who sell and the people who eat
meat; what the merchant is to the
makers of things and the people who
want them; that they simply gather
together the small quantities of money
which men have more than thev
can use proitably and lend 1t in larger
sums to those who can use it prolitaby;
that they are thus as useful and neces
sary part Of the modern social fabric
as are any of its members, it is not prob
able that there would be such things as
bank failures, certainly none where
prudence and honesty dictated the
management.
Let us have less fads, less frills and
instruction in things not useful in our
schools, and more teaching of those
affairs into which the boys and girls
must soon enter and take part. Teach
them the elements of political economy,
the nature and use of money, the func-
tions of banks, aud these mauthing
demagogues will have less tool and less
following, and the nation will have
greater peace and trade ami commerce
greater security.
