No Money, No Credit.
fFrom the New York Stats Zcitung

From the New orR stats Lclt'lngI
After Is years of hard labor to in
crease the circulation of money by buy
ing silver and coming the same and
thereby adding to our circulation hun
dreds of millions we have arrived at a
point approaching general bankrupt
CIV. According to the report of the di-
rector of the mint we had year ago
1885 millions coins and bullion besides
1140 millions paper money. What has be-
come of it? Notwithstanding this in
crease of money we suffer under terrible
scarcity Of money trade and commerce
are suffering, still no one can claim
that the government has nor furnished
us the necessary quantity of money,
but the quality is not so satisfactory
and this fact added greatly to the pre-
sent crisis. People have lost conf
dence in the stability of our money and
the present crisis is greatly due to a
lack of confidence. The increase of our
circulation, regardless of its stability,
was demanded to give new life to our
commerce and to secure better prices
for our producers but prices have
dropped because they are not chiefly
depending upon the quantity Of money
and our industries and commerce are
paralyzed. This should prove to every
reasonable mind that the cry for more
money is a fallacious one. In the pres
ence of a distrust capital has with
drawn, and this distrust must be dis
PEELED by preventing a farther initiation
of our money, we are not in need of
more money but of good money. The
more confidence the less money we
need. Cash money is not as important
Il factor now as it used to be. The
credit system by which, with COM
paratively little money enor-
nous transactions can be consum-
mated has TO great extent
taken the place of the cash system.
But for this credit system confidence is
absolutely necessary. Money is as well
a gauge for values as it is q medium Of
exchange, but in its latter capacity its
use becomes more and more limited by
modern means of exchange. In the
New York clearing house frequently
more money changes hands in day
than there is in circulation in the
United States.
Compared with the transactions, we
are using less money every year, and
the more undisturbed trade and COM
merce are the less money we need. 1t
is true in time of a crisis there is
much larger demand for money and it
is then much harder to be gotten, As
a measure or gauge for values money
will always maintain its place, but even
this is a somewhat changed form.
The modern way of producing and
trading have a tendency to equalize
prices all over the world more and
more and this necessitates stable cir
culating medium more than ever. No
country can get along with special
money standard of its own and we are
suffering terribly now by hopelessly in
sisting on such an attempt. We are in
the midst of crisis in which there is
scarcely any credit or money to be got
ten, and if we don't learn by this eX-
perience we will be ruined.

THE silver in a silver dollar is only
worth fifty cents, and bushel of wheat
hardly sells for any more; but the
price of a pound of bread is still five
cents, and silver ware is as dear as ever.
The consumer is plucked every time,
and as the vast majority of consumers
are poor people, they, as in every other
case, have to bear the greater part OF
the burden.

MONDAY EVENING. AUG, : 1893.

Mr.. O'FERRALL being man of con-
yictions and bold enough to act in ac-
cordance with them, even against his
party in Congress, and sometimes
against its regularly nominated candl-
dates in his own district, will certainly
hesitate no longer to comply with the
desire of large number of the people
Of his State that he should express his
views on the silver question. Lieut.
Gov. Tyler. his rival for the guberna-
torial nomination, has already made
public his ideas on that question, ana
he has never even protested to be SO
conscientious as to stand by his own
views in opposition to those of the vast
majority of his party.

THE New York H'orld says the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman bill
should be repealed at once, and the
whole currency question be referred to
q non-partisan monetary commissions
and that Congress should then take a
recess. If the object be to defeat the
democrats at the next congressional
election, this would be good advice and
should be followed, but not otherwise.
The people want the Mckinley bill re-
pealed at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. and if there be one thing they
abhor more than another, it is a com
mission.

The secretary elect of the Senate,
Mr.. Cox, of North Carolina, had the
oath administered to him and took
possession of the office. The usual res

dent were adopted, and then at 1870
the death of the late Senator Stanford,
of California, was announced by Mr..
White, of that State, and, as mark Of
respect, the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow. This prevents the reception
of the Presidents message to-day.

tics TO the democratic administration,

MURDERED THE WHITE CREw.-A report
has reached Sydney Aus, that Queensland
labor vessel. while engaged in recruiting
of the coast of Malaysia, solomon Islands, was
attacked and seized by the natives The
white crew was killed and and the vessel first
looted and then set on fire and burned to the
waters edge.
The first intimabon of the affair was brought
to Noumea by the labor" vessel Lady Stau-
byn, which had fallen in company with an
other vessel that had natives on board who
were aware of the circumstances. The plan
adopted by the chief at Malayta was to decoy
the vessel to certain place on the coast on
promise of supplying a number of recruits.
This was done after he had oStensibly shown
his good faith by putting on board a number
of natives.
On the arrival of the vessel at the rendez-
vous she was surrounded by armed canoes and
her crew quickly dispatched by the combined
forces of natives afoat and those already taken
aboard.
