The Danger of Getting in Debt Beyond

Demonstrated.

The Danger of Getting in Debt Beyond
the Reach of Reasonably Quick Assets
Demonstrated.
CLEVELAND, O., May 2S.-In response
to telegram sent by an afternoon
paper Gov. Foster answered as follows;
Thanks for your offer of space. My present
mental distress precludes acceptance OF your
kind offer to any extent.
My failure simply illustrates the great folly
OF permitting ones self to be in debt beyond
the reach OF reasonably quick assets for relief
when the hour of difficult borrowing comes.
When people are in such condition and the
stability of existing financial conditions is
shaken the result is inability to borrow, sus-
pension and failure
Business is largely done with borrowed
money. Confidence in the maintenance OF
sound financial conditions is essential to le2it1-
mate lending. That public confidence has for
some time been shaken in the ability or ca
pacity OF the government to maintain gold
payments is evident. The natural impulse OF
banks in such times is to strengthen them
selves against some possible and unusual
draft Then comes inability to borrow, de-
cline in prices suspension and bankruptcies
follow.
The country is possessed Of enormous re-
sources which are at the command OF the gov
ernment, and it should say and act in terms ana
wavs that will satisfy the country without am
piguity or uncertainty that gold payments VIII

CoRRUPTIoNIsT CLEVELAND.
The Power o. Patronage to BE Used as
Doodle.

The man who, in a Legislative body,
sells his vote, whether for money or any
other valuable consideration, is guilty
not only Of taking bribe, but Of be-
traying his constituents, not 10 speak Of
the personal dishonor attaching to one
who is SO degraded that, for valuable
consideration, he will support q measure
to which he is really opposed.
The man who offers money or any
other valuable consideration to a mem
Der of legislative body, is briber and
corruptionist. Nor does it make any
difference whether this corruption is
exercised in village council, or in the
halls of congress; there is hut one name
for it in any case, and but one opinion
among all honorable men for both the
briber and the bribed.
One of the most astonishing develop
ments concerning the present admins
tration is the frank announcement that
President Cleveland is having prepared
two bills-one repeating the silver pur-
chase law, and the other 'low tariff
measure-and that he proposes to force
them both through the democratic con
gress by practical bribery. The two are
coupled together for this reason: while
there would probably be no difficulty
in getting a majority for the tariff bill,
it is absolutely certain that the free sill
yer democrats are in majority in con-
gress; the free silver men are bitterly
opposed to the repeal of the siver pur-
chase law, unless free coinage bill is
substituted for it, and this Mr.. Cleve-
land will not allow.
Hence the amazing fact lis developed
that the administration intimates TO
democratic congressman that no Offices
are at its disposal for the benefit Of
their friends except they shall vote for
the presidents two bills. The vast
power of patronage of the federal gov
ernment is to be used for "boodle"-as
bribe to free silver democrats TO for
swear their convictions, betray their
constituents, and vote for a repeal Of
the silver purchase law. This is plain
case Of proposed bribery. The president
is to become a corruptionist on large
scale He is to be the greatest lobbyist
tile nation ever saw. for he has a greater
amount Of ''boodle"-in the shape of
patronage-to bestow than any boodler
who ever figured in the third house" "

SO the old days and the old home of
the Herald have passed away. It is a
mighty organization, with more than
two thousand FIVE hundred correspond.

carries it into the uttermost ends of
the earth. The elder Bennett started
the paper with a nominal capital Of
$500 in 1885, and he lived TO be a
maker Of Presidents. The present
proprietor of the Herald, who Is also its
real editor in every detail, would not
sell the paper for any price. although
II was recently valued at 500, ,O00, 600.
In 1869 group Of capitalists offered

He declared that he would neither

-Four years ago New York syndicate
cabled message TO Mr.. Bennett asking
him what was the lowest price of the
Herald His only reply was, THE price OF
the Herald is 3 cents daily, cents on
Sunday. A prominent politician offered
Mr.. Bennett check for $50, 600 for the
support OF the HeralG. Mr.. Bennett
looked him in the eye and said: "This
check can be traced to me" Then I'll
get you the money. said the politician,
deceived by the calm bearing land i'm.

Good" said Mr.. Bennett. In a few
minutes the politician returned with a
big roll Of greenbacks. Mr.. Bennett
could no longer suppress his rage. He

with the 40 pages of advance and review
which made up the normal days lesson in
DR.. Porter's bulky volume on The Human
Intellect" Taking advantage of Dr. Por-
ter's easy going recitations, the young fell
low hit on the following device: He divid-
ed the 40 pages into eight sections of five
pages each. For each section he prepared
an answer, usually based on a suggestive
line or two, sometimes evolved from inner
Consciousness. At recitation he simply
watched Or. Porter turn the pages, basing
his answer absolutely on the number of
pages turned From pages TO 10 meant
answer number two, from pages 25 to 30
answer number 6, and so on, not the slight
est attention otherwise being paid to the
question.
The young pioneer in psychology. who
ratified of the answer with all the flexibil-
ity Of speech and earnestness hecould com.
mand, always met a gracious smile from
DR. Porter and found subsequently by this
audacity he had secured a stand in psychol.

BANKS SHOW STRENGTH
Wonderful Recuperative Power
Developed During the Week.
LARGEST GAINS EVER KNOWN

CaIumnies of Senate Debate Disprcved
BY the Very Figures which Show How
New York's Bankers, Having Carried
the Country's Business. Are Able to
Recover From the Strain.
When distinguished Senators of the
United States are hurling their invec.
tives against the New York banks and
Eastern capitalists, and when the bank
ers who have strained their resources in
order to help the business of the country
are held up as Shylocks, gold bugs,
money grabbers anything short OF
highway is fortunate that the
New York banks are able to make the
showing which they did Saturday
Senator Vance says that the bankers Of
New York, intent upon keeping up the
gold cry-which means paying sn honest
debt with an honest dollar-contracti
their currency, refusing to lend money,
enforced stagnation in all branches Of
business.
The figures show beyond any possible
question that the New York banks have
not only strained every point to accom-
modate the business OF the country, but
with resources greater than those of
any other city In the world, have put
them to pressure which the banks of
no other city in the Union have ventured
upon. The last regular weekly state
ment of the New York Associated Banks
as thay stood yesterday is of special
Importance at this time, not so much to
refute such foolish statements as those
of the distinguished Senator as to show
that they have been able, after a deple-
tion Of reserves more rapid and more
startling than they ever knew before, to
turn the current with almost equal
force in the other direction.
The following table, giving the
changes of the week shows that the
gain Of the banks has been the largest
ever known for a single week. and
the change is almost as much for the
better as was that of August 10, three
weeks ago, for the worse, when the
loss in reserve was the largest ever
reported by the banks for a single week.
