The WaY to do It.

The most effective way to restore
confidence and easy conditions is
for each individual to do with the
money in his possession as he
would if no scarcity of money ex-
isted-that is, buy and sell and pay
bills as though no panic was ever
dreamed of. If this were done for
one week there would be no more
bank suspensions and no more pre-
miums paid for the use of actual
money. AS Horace Greeley said Of
the resumption of specie payments,
that the way to resume was to re-
sumo, the way to restore financial
and easy money is to be
confident. This applies alike to
wage-earner, employer and capital
list. Confidence will be restored
and the money stringency measur-
ably relieved just as soon as every
body stops boarding and allows
the currency to float in its accus-
toned channels. - Philadelphia

Death of Judge Chipman.

Congressman j. Logan Chapman,
one Of the most widely known and
popular leaders of the Democratic
party in Michigan, died at Harper
Hospital, in Detroit, on the morn
ing of the 18th. In speaking of
the death of Mr.. Chapman, the De-
troit Journal pays the deceased a
high compliment, and also gives a
short sketch of his life:
"A native of Michigan, descen-
dant of men already associated with
the public life in this state, long a
resident of Detroit, and for the
past six years representative of
this congressional district, Judge
John Logan Chapman died better
known, more respected and with a
more useful and renownded career
before him than at any previous
period of his life. His loss is a
special bereavement to his party in
the vicinity, in the state and in the
nation. In Washington he would
have represented at this critical
period the soundest and most rati-
onal business finance; he would
have been friend Of the veteran
soldiers; and even on the tariff
would not have consented to any
radical measures calculated to harm
the valuable and extended manu.
featuring interests of his consti-
tuents.
Judge Chapman was endowed
with many natural gifts. He had
achieved success as a newspaper
writer; he possessed an intuitive
appreciation Of the law; he was an
effective and eloquent advocate; on
the bench Judge with acute If not
erudite perception of the merits of
the cases before him; a ready and
versatile speaker in political cam
paigns; vigorous debater who
commanded attention in that most
difficult and crowded Of arenas
the floor Of the house; a wide reader
with ready control of his resources;
and finally one who perhaps was
capable Of far greater usefulness
and influence than he found oc-
casion to exercise in the commune
ty."
Judge Chapman was a native Of
this city. He was born June 5,

Better Times Coming.

But better times are coming with
our return to sounder monetary and
tariff doctrine. This country has
enormous powers of recuperation.
1t presents tempting opportunities
for investment of foreign capital.
The incoming of such capital has
been the cause of very much of our
past prosperity, and it will return
to us when once assured that in
vestments of gold will not be repaid
in deprecated silver. The Sherman
law has since 1890 acted as a scare
crow to foreign investors. It's re-
peal will cause them to flock back
to country where capital and la
Dor win the largest returns. Sever

1880. He came from good old
judicial stock, his father, Henry
Chapman, and his grandfather, Ma
thaniel Chapman, both having pre-
coded him on the bench, and the
latter having risen to the senate OF
the United States. Judge j. Logan
Chapman received his early educa-
ton in the public schools of De-
troit and subsequently attended the
University of Michigan, leaving
that institution when scarcely over
10 years Of age to join an exploring
expedition to the upper peninsula.
After three years in the upper
country he returned to Detroit and
began the study of law. In his 21st
year he was elected school inspec-
tor in this city, but did not qualify
as he had decided to practice law at
Sault Ste. Marie. He remained at
the Sault until 1852 and then re-

new boxes have been built to meet

bank failure in this city, it is true,
but then it must be remembered
that the banks have gone in debt
to the extent of $4,000, 900, and
but for their ability to float this
amount of paper in the form Of
clearinghouse certificates, many OF
them must have failed two weeks
ago. AS it is they have the debts
and the experience, and their West

they have been inveighing recently

How Silver is Purchased.

1t seems to be very difficult for
the public to understand the way
the government buys silver under
the Sherman act. The general
supposition appears to be that the
government loses money on every
purchase to the extent of the diff
ference in intrinsic value between a
gold and silver dollar. The Pres
dents message rather favors that
idea, without explicitly maintaining
it.
Now the truth is that the gov
eminent gets the silver for its val
ue in gold. For example, take the
last silver purchase, made July 81.
The amount bought was $4,000
ounces, 103,850,OOO grains. It
takes only 371.25 grains of pure
silver to make a standard dollar,
but the government actually paid
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-08-23

only 1913 cents per ounce. There
are $50 grains in an ounce.
The purchases are made in notes
redeemable in coin. The holder
may demand gold, but il so the
government only pays out gold
for silver at cost, figured on gold
basis. To illustrate, take the total
purchases required for each month
and the price paid for the bullion
bought last week cos cents per
ounce) as the two bases of calcu-
lation and we have the following
result:
Amount Of silver purchased Iounces ....s, 500, Ooo
Amount of treasury notes issued in pay
ment ,l63,5Oo
Gold value Of the bullion itself i63, SOC
If the notes were presented for
redemption they would call for 3d.

tions. English fnanciers called
in their loans. The New York
bankers met these calls, and
in turn called in the loans they had
out in other centers. principally in
the West. They believe, no doubt,
that this was their strong card, that
when the provincial" bankers felt
the pinch they would fall in with
the ideas of the Eastern brethren
and in turn educate" those who
were dependent upon them for fnan-
cial aid. The graduated contraction

New Workers are doing business on

Some of them have deposited their

so served as one Of the secretaries

dams in this city.
Upon settling down in Detroit,
he practiced his profession until
1855 when he was elected city at
torney. He was reelected in 1858
and in 1853 was elected to the leg

but was badly defeated, notwith.

intervals, up to this time, he
had done some editorial work on
the Detroit Free Fress and the
Chicago Times. In 1870 he was
elected Judge of the superior court
of this city. He held the position
until the court was abolished by
an act Of the legislature. In 1886
he received the Democratic nomina
ton for congress in this district and
defeated Henry A. Robinson, ther
a Republican but now a Democrat
by 1886. He was renominated in
1888 against Hubbard Baker, whom
he defeated. In 1890 he again had

Another Case of Sick Devil

The immaculate Detroit Journal
gently chirrups:
What is best for the country? is
a question which the Republican
party has always answered con-
scientiously and to the best of it's
ability.
This is the joyous and appreciative
way a pharisee talks about the
pharisees' party.
The claim that the Republican
party has always acted conscien-
tiously in dealing with large ques-
tions is a piece of superlative eff
frontery. Did it thus act when it
put in the Mckinley bill the tax
schedules--word for word and fig
ure for figure-which had been
carefully prepared by the eastern
manufacturers and mine owners
for the express purpose of giving
them additional power to "pinch"
the people?
Was it actuated by conscientious
motives when it increased the ma
tional expenditures to the billion
dollar mark?
Was it conscientiousness that led
it to pass the Sherman law as a
sop to the rising Populist senti-
ment in the west?
Was it acting to the "best of it's
ability" when it tilibustered against
the Democratic attempt in the last
Congress to repeal the Sherman
law after the ruinous effects of the
latter enactment had become plain
ly observable?
And is there any reason to believe
that it will act with any conscien-
tiousness in the present emergency,
when its leader in the senate, the
great and good John Sherman, ex-
plains his position in these words:
"The people have called upon the
present administration to handle
these questions, and | have no adj
vice to offer"
That states the position of the
hypocritical." grand old party" tits
incapable Of high and disinterested
action. 1t is always playing for
political points" 1t has never

tisan interests. 1t is confessedly
the greatest people be id" or
ganization that ever rose to promin-
ence in any country making any pre-
tensions to observing the forms of
free government.
1t is because it had proved itself
utterly destitute of all conscien-
tiousness that the Republican party
was everywhere so overwhelmingly
