The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-07-12

THE 14th annual christian endeavor
convention now in session in Boston
is in many respects the most remark
able religious gathering ever held on
the face of the earth. The won
derful growth of the society since its
organization few years since, has
astonished the world. It's influence
in uniting the various different de-
nominations has already been very
great, and will, without doubt, be far
greater in the future. No religious
movement since the days of the refor-
nation, has been fraught with so
much Importance to the future of the
christian religion as is this great So
ciety of young christians banded to-
gether under the banner of "Christ
and the Church"

Foreign Capital.

Every financial fanatic we meet has
something TO say about the volume
of our foreign debts. These obliga-
tons are a great source of worriment
TO them, and some of these gentle
men even carry their fears SO far as
to see danger of ultimate English
ownership of this country. Such
talk is the profoundest rot. Every
dollar of foreign capital that comes
here for investment adds Just that
much to the available wealth for car
rying on American enterprises. II
American borrowers cannot make
the foreign capital pay them more
than the interest they have to pay,
il is sad commentary on the sagac-
itv of the American business men
and manufacturers.
Foreign syndicates who are bring
ing capital to this country for indus
trial investment are not an unmiXed
evil. AS general thing, the Amer
leans who sell to them get full value
for the property sold, and English
gold is just as valuable to them as any
other. The man whose business has
been gobblcd by foreign syndicate
does not usually stand on the street
corners bewailing his fate. Indeed,
he usually wears a satisfied smile and
believes he has driven good bargain.
If he has made money by the sale, it
is difficult to see how any one has
been injured thereby.
Every village and city is anxions
to induce outside capital to seek in
vestment withwin its limits. For
example, we would all consider it a
boon if Chicago or Detroit capital
could be secured for the erection of
a furniture factory, paper mill or
other enterprise in Paw Paw. And
yet, on the theory of those who are
nervous with fright at the foreign
capital bugaboo, if a large amount of
such capital should be so invested in
this place and the investment should
prove profitable, it would only be
question of time until such profits
would impoverish the residents here
ard cause Paw Paw to become the
property of such foreign capitalists.
No sane man believes any such thing
as applied to a municipality; yet it is
Just as reasonable there as when APP
piled to a nation. Let foreign cap
ital come. The more the better. 1t will
aid i'll the development of our great
national resources, it will lower inter-
est rates, it will give employment to
American labor and add greatly to
our national wealth and prosper
ity.

Get the Food First.

Edward Atkinson, the active "reve-
nue. reformer, has been explaining in
public how food materials might be
cooked economically. This is all right,
but many American workmen have been
puzzling how to find the food. 1t was
not so when, under ample protection,
wages were good and work was album
dant. Then food was plentiful 1t may
be so later on again when the produce of
the free farms is harvested.

THE Detroit Tribune has made a
wonderful discovery in connection
with the Y. p. S. &. +. 1t is very
fearful that that society will corrupt
the politics of the country by making
its influence felt in a political way.
The Tribune, bless its dear old heart,
may possess its political soul in pa
thence. In the first place, the socie-
ty of christian endeavor is religious
society and not a political society IN
any sense of the word, and is not
at all likely to become such, although
the votes of its members are alto
gether likely 10 be found on the side
of morality and good government.
It's members will not knowingly cast
their votes in favor of political cor
ruption and dishonesty, nor will the
saloon in politics find any favor at
their hands. Perhaps the Tribune
thinks that, in city that is so largely
controlled by the liquor interest as is
the city of Detroit, opposition to the
saloon is not to be countenanced.
The politics of the country are not
liable to any injury at the hands of
endeavorers; at least if they are, the
sooner they are injured the better it
will be for the country.

was en- route to the bank. When
they reached the door there stood San

ball passing through Goebel's panta-
looms. Quick as fash GOebel fred.
To do so he had to place the pistol be-
meath Helms chin. The ball crashed
through Sanforo's forehead. Sanford
fell in the doorway of the bank, blood

CHICAGO. April 17.-W. H. Harvey,
chairman of the bimetallic executive
committee. in a reply to Cleveland 5
letter. declares that the invitation to
speak in Chicago did not come from "A
committee representing majority of
the business men aid citizens, but
rather from one representing those
that own money and securities payable
in money. Mr.. Harvey says that the
presidents statement does not apply
to debts: that while money and those
debts payable in money have been
steadily increasing in exchangeable
value with the prosperity of the
people. a debt for $1,000 that
900 bushels of wheat would have
paid ten years ago now requires the
farmer to give up 1000 bushels OF
wheat in exchange for those dollars
with which to pay the same debt. He
further SAYS that rising prices cause
money to seek investment, and would
thus open channels of commerce and
trade and give employment to millions
now idle.
Col. W. r. Morrison, member of the
interstate-commerce commission, wants
the term safe currency" defined. He

means the only safe currency is one
