NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

Comptroller Eckels has gained the con-
fidence Of the country as comptroller,
and he is now making strides toward a
reputation as a statesman and a financier.
In his remarks at the dinner of the Union
league club he most sensibly said: 1.-The
condition which confronts the American
people is one that deserves the thought
full attention of every citizen who has
at heart the interest of the country. 1t
isn't a time of panic. because we have
passed the period in our history when
panic is a possibility, but it is one of
slow liquidation, the result of undue
speculation and unwise financial legis-
lation. Nothing is to be gained by TAX
ing on a fright that is unwarranted by
either the immediate past or the imme-
date future. What the American peo-
pie ought to do in the midst of the fall
ures that have occurred is not to give
way to uncalled-for alarm, but to study
the character of the institutions which
have failed, the causes which have pro-
duced them and the localities in which
they have occurred. After such a study
let them view the solvent institutions

the worlds supply has now only reached
the same relative proportions of gold
and silver that existed in 1873. During
these twenty years of the decline of sill
yer there has been relatively more gold
than ever before in the worlds history.
| The decline is not due, as would be in
ferred from the Posts statement. to
the increased production of silver. Its
cause was very accurately stated by
one of the gentlemen whom the Post
mentions as experts who understood
these questions thoroughly" and whose
advice Mr.. Boutwell, followed. The at
tention of the Post is called to the fol-
lowing statement of H r. Linderman.
then director of the mint. in his report
of Nov 1. 1873:
The gradual adoption of the gold
standard, and consequent demonetiza-
ton of silver, will of course be followed
oy an increase in the value of gold, or
what is the same thing, a decrease In
the price of articles measured by ii. In
deed il is quite certain that this effect
is already perceptible in some portions
OF Europe. Be that as il may, however,
IL is safe to assume that Germany will
soon have substituted three hundred
millions of gold for silver heretofore
used as standard money. and. that Den
mark, Sweden and Norway will require
nearly as much more in consequence of
changing their standard from silver to
gold. Now, add to the foregoing the re-
qu1rementS of France and the United
States in the near future, and it will be
readily understood that gold must APP
preciate in value.
That is what the Posts expert said at
the time. That is what subsequent
events proved to be true, for notwith-
standing an increased relative produc-
tion of gold for eleven years gold ad-
vanced steadily in value, and the price
of everything else decreased. Unques-
tionably Mr.. Linderman and John Jay
Knox understood these questions
thoroughly" and so did John Sherman.
and Ernest Seyd, and all the rest of the
crowd that brought about this infamous
legislation. 1t was a deliberate move

which is the same thing. 1t was a de-
liberate movement to increase the burden
of every debtor in the world. 1t was
deliberate movement to increase the
| profits of the holders of the bonds of the
United States, which were made payable
in gold, and whose interest was made
| payable in gold, through the efforts of
the same tools of our nations creditors.
Under the plea of honest money! and
Of protecting the nations credit" John
Sherman and his conspirators deliber-
ately robbed the government whose in
terest they had sworn to protect, and
imposed this tremendous burden on the

countries. Does the Pest dare to tell
the whole truth?

coinage at an agreed rate. 1t is our
opportunity to force foreign coun-
tries to terms.
One of the most sensible things that
has been said about silver coinage was
by Mr.. Henry Knippenberg of this city
in a recent interview. Mr.. Knippenberg
is manager of the Hecla mine of Mon
tana, one of the largest producers in the
country. He is a silver man by interest
and by conviction. He says: Let Amer
lea. England. Germany and France unit
edly agree upon a fixed and fair ratio
between gold and silver and then stand
by it. the troublesome question is set
tied. and the question can never be set
tied any other way. Whenever the four
great nations of the world are taught by
hard experience that gold is not suffi-
cient silver will be restored and every
body will recognize it's full value and
royal glory The surgeon must set

disfgure the man. That is the trouble

monetized the financial man had his

Allison and Sherman have shown them

leaders in congress have not understood
their business John Sherman has been
playing horse" with them for twenty
years. Instead of wasting any more time
in nonsense they ought to push straight
forward to international bimetallism,
and the first necessary step is the repeal
of the Sherman law

A FRAGMENT OF TRUTH.

There is a slight portion of encour-
agement in the fact that the New York
Post is at length beginning to tell a
little truth about the decentralization of
silver In a recent issue it replies to the
defense of that infamous act by the
Hon. George S. Boutwell,, who was sec
rotary of the treasury when it occurred,
and very properly informs it's readers
that IF Mr.. Boutwell, ever understood
this subject (Which may be doubted), he
does not understand it now" This is
very evident from the fact that Mr.
Boutwell, declares that at the time of
decentralization a silver dollar was worth
3 cents less than a gold dollar. and that
he knew it would decline still further
whereas in fact. as almost everyone
knows, a silver dollar was at that time
worth cents more than a gold dollar
The Post continues: Mr. Boutwell,
says he knew in 1872 that silver was 60
ing to decline still more, because the
power drill had been invented and it's
Ndlue eSIdDllSneu ana because the
use of dynamite was we'll understood.
How did Mr.. Boutwell, know that the
use of the power drill and of dynamite
would disclose more of silver than of
gold in the bowels of the earth? He
knew nothing of the kind. nor did he
suspect anything of the kind. He had
two men in the treasury department who
understood these questions thoroughly,
namely, John ]. Knox and H. r. Linder-
man. He simply followed their advice,
and he was right in doing So. They
never told him that the silver dollar
was then worth cents less then
the gold dollar, because such was not
the fact. They never told him that sill
yer was going to decline still more, be-
cause they did not know IL. They made
their investigation in 1859 and pre-
scented their report in 1870. In both of
those years the market ratio Of gold to
silver was 1850 to 1. which was fully
of 16 to /. They had no more reason
for thinking there would be change in
the other direction than the public gen.
orally had. Not even the great output
Of the Comstock lode pointed that way,
since very nearly one-half of that out
put was gold" This is all very well, so
far as disposing of Mr.. Boutwell, is con-
cerned, but the Post is still misrepre-
senting the facts by intimating that i'm
proved mining appliances did disclose
more Of silver than of gold in the bowels
of the earth" The fact is shown by the
official records that the product of gold
was greater than the product of silver
for years afterward. 1t was not until
1885 that the scale turned in the other
direction. and then go gradually that

POOLING AWAY TIME.

The recent tremendous upheavals in
the religious world have proved one
thing to all sober-minded people. That
is, that religious discussions of all sorts
ought to be tempered with common
sense. The ideas and theories of one
man may not be just what some other
man needs to put him on the right
track, but because they are not is no
reason why the second man should de-
clare them to be false and denounce the
first man for heresy or accuse him Of
unbelief. Common sense should teach

Indiana is first in many things and it
must now be accorded the palm for pos

George Snively of Columbus. who has
refused a back pension of $500, which
had been granted him. on the ground
that he is abIe-bodied and can earn his
own living. Mr.. Snively is certainly en-
titled to the most unstinted praise for
his refusal to profit by his country's
generosity and the weakness of its laws.

It is almost amusing to see the BIZ
metallic convention at Topeka, Kas., re-
solving against international bimetallic
coinage and against the repeal Of the
Sherman law. That law was passed in
order to continue the decline of silver.
For twenty years the silver men have let
John Sherman mold them like putty and
now they are hanging to his law after it
has been demonstrated a fraud and a
failure and after he has repudiated it.

The Hoosier State asks: How are
republican or democratic sheriffs going
10 stop prize fighting when the late
Iamentable democratic legislature passed
an act legalizing prize fighting in this
state?" The legislature did nothing of
the kind, and any pretense that it did is
merely subterfuge adopted by officials
who either do not desire to suppress
prize fighting or have not the courage
to do so. The law prohibiting prize
fighting has never been repealed and it
is childish for weak or neglectful officials
TO claim that it is imperative.

That rare old statesman, Chester
Faulkner, has appeared on the scene at
Washington with a solution of the money
question. He proposes to repeal all the
silver laws in existence. l. e. the Sher-
man laws and the law Of 1873, and states
that this would leave the laws that Eek
listed from 1892 to 1873 in force" If
Chester will investigate for few years
he will learn that there were several
different laws in force in the period
mentioned. and that the mere repeal of
the two laws would not only leave us
without any silver coinage, but also
throw the whole matter of coinage into
great confusion.

A very forcible Illustration of the de-
cline of prices is made by the compari-
son of June exports for 1892 and 1893.
Our exports of corn were larger this
year than last by 100000 bushels, of
barley 100000 bushels, of -four 100000
barrels and of wheat a slight increase,
yet on account of low prices the value
of the exports of breadstuffs is $5S6.OOO
less than last year. OF cotton we ex-
ported over 100000 pounds more. but
received for it s1SO.OOO less. Of oil we
exported 22,6OOOOO gallons more and re-
ceived $46O,OOO more but this was $40. 900
less than would have been received at
last years prices. And yet there are
people who hold that silver has de-
creased in price because it is too abun-
dant.

clusion that must irresistibly follow is
that the legitimate life of the country
is not threatened, but instead will come
out of the present turmoil the stronger
for having passed through it,
1t would be an excellent thing for
every man in the country to consider
these statements carefully. The first
phase of the presenl movement was
fear that the government might not be
able to maintain the gold basis in the
face Of gold exports to Europe. That
has passed away completely. Today you
can scarcely find a person who has any
fears as to the stability of our currency
Of all kinds. The foolish talk about de-
preciated silver coin had its temporary
effect, but everyone now realizes that sill
Yer and paper alike are on a gold basis.
and as long as the country exists they
will be worth gold dollar for dollar
That foolish craze has passed away
and now we are dealing only with its
effects. There was an unusual demand
for money. an unusual call on banks.
and a contraction of credit. A few weak
banks failed and the reliable banks were
forced to prepare for any call that might
be made on them. This precipitated
liquidation, and slow liquidation will
necessarily continue until the banks feel
safe in resuming former business con-
ditions.
1t is not probable that this condition
can last long. The drought and failure
of crops in Europe have already made
a demand on this country that has al
most exhausted the surplus stock of
last year. Hay is selling abroad at I'M
heard of prices. Wheat is still low. but
is certain to advance soon. Our June
exports of wheat were but slightly in
excess of last years. but the first two
weeks of July show 7,S12,5SO bushels ex-
ported, as against 4.643,659 for the same
two weeks last year. Eastern papers re
port that every available bottom is
movement of the new crop will, there
fore be much more speedy than usual.
This export will of necessity move
money to this country. and within five
or six weeks, at the outside. there will
certainly be a return to easy condi-
tions. This is hardly open to doubt, for
every condition favors it, and there is
nothing in view to prevent 1t.
months large transfer Of money from
this country to Europe by tourists, but
in the present season this travel is es-
timated by the steamship companies at
only So per cent. Of the usual amount,
and at the same time there is a heavy
increase in the travel to this country,
which is to be accounted for by the
worlds fair. This fact is favorable to
the speedy return of normal conditions.
and so. too, is the war-cloud in Siam.
If it were merely a question between
France and Siam this would be of little
consequence, but England's traditional
policy is to oppose the Judgment of any
other country on the boundaries of In
dia, and a conflict between any two
European nations means a continental
war. OF course, actual war may not
come, but there will very probably be a
mobilization Of troops and gathering
of supplies that will call for the export
of all our surplus products. The prob
abilities are that the existing depression
will pass off as quickly and completely
as the great bank panic of 1851.
