DEBS KICKING.
Says the Federal Courts are Under the

Terre Haute, Ind, May 27.-Presdent
e. V. Debs of the American Railway
union, whose case was acted upon today
by the supreme court was seen at his
home tonight and said:
81 know nothing of the decision only as
it appeared in the papers, and assuming
that it is correct, it appears that the case

it was found that the circuit court hav

the corporations, syndicates and trusts
which dominate every department of the
Federal government, including the su
preme court.
''Jefferson's policy is being literally full
filled. The 'Sappers and Miners rs he

countries. it appears that in 1894 the
stock of money in the United States was
over $50 per capita, in the United King
dom nearly $50. and in Germany nearly
SO, while in Mexico .uhe per capita was
Sill, in Russia and Finland $500 and in
China 1926. The gold standard coun-
tries use large amounts of silver as money
but the silver standard countries use
no gold as money, and cannot do so for
the reasons l have already endeavored
to explain. But, gentlemen, for the rea-
sons already stated, the commercial ma
tions of the world do not now require the
same proportion of metallic money in the
transaction of their business that they re-
Quired few centuries ago, or even one
century ago. Credit has been vastly eX-
tended and the use of paper in the form
of notes, checks and bills has almost
entirely displaced metallic money in the
daily business of the people, and as long
as these forms of credit are kept equal
in value to the metallic standard, the
effect upon the prices of commodities
is precisely the same as if the whole vol
ume of circulation consisted of standard
coin, for, as long as equality in their
value can be maintained, uhe paper repre-
sentatives of the dollar perform exactly
the same office in the exchange of COM
mOdities that gold dollars themselves
would PERFORM but if this equality is de,
stroyed, the paper is discredited, its pur
chasing power is diminished and the peO-
pie have no longer a stable measure of
value.

THE NEW SOUTH.
List of New Industries for the Week
Ending May %.

Chattanooga, May 26.-The Tradesman
has received reports of industrial condi-
tons in all parts of the South for the
week ending May %. There is much
activity in the production of iron and in
mining of iron ore and of coal. The,
demand seems to equal the outputs and no.
stocks are accommodating. The recent ad-
vance in the price of pig iron, which has
been well maintained, has encouraged
the building of new plants.
The Tradesman reports that a f50-ton
IRON furnace is TO be built at Pulaski, Va,
by Che Pulaski Iron company.
The Bessemer steel plant at Bessemer
Ala, is to be built at once, an appro-
pnation of 100000 having been made.
lor that, purpose, and rolling mill at
birmingham, Ala, is now under way, TO,
be completed within six months.
Inc English owners OF the Watts Steel
and Iron plant at Middlesboro KY, have
cabled the manager to put their iron
furnace into blast July - and ito put the
steel works into operation August 49,
Inc Tradesman also reports that there.
IS little cessation in the activity in build
ing cotton mills in various parts of the
cotton belt of the South. The list of mills

associations, and other organization
engaged in financial and commercial en-.
ferpriseS. These various organizations
are indebted to the people to the extent
of many billions of dollars, and while
it is true that many of the people are
also indebted TO them, their debtors and
creditors are not the same persons, and
therefore the debts cannot be set off
aginst each other and eXtinguished in
that way. l deny that there is any such
thing as a distinct debtor class" in this
country, for while nearly every one owes
some debts, large or small, nearly every
one has also debts owing to him; in other
words, he is both debtor and creditor.
The laboring people, as a general rule,
owe very little at any one time, while
their employers are always indebted to
them. because wages are not paid i'll adj
vance; and besides, many of them have
small deposits in savings and other banks,
in trust companies, in building asSOcia-
tons, and large number of them have
their lives insured for the benefit of their
wives and children, and consequently they
are creditors of the banks and the insur-
ance companies. The savings bank de-
positors in this country last year num-
bdered 4,777,6S7, and the wives and
children of the depositOrs who depended
upon these accumulated earnings for fu-
ture support doubtless numbered 10000
600 more. There were 1,92J,34O depOsi-
tors in the national banks last year, and
1,724.077 of them had deposits of less
than $1,000 each, while State and private
banks and loan and trust companies held
deposits for 81 ,436,63S people Our life
insurance companies, to say nothing OF
companies insuring property against loss
by fire and otherwise, had 7,5Oo,SIO poll
cies outstanding last year, upon which
the premiums had been paid, or were
being paid by the people, and the mutual

Bats. 900 members. The building and
loan associations had nearly 100000
members, all of whom had paid their
money in as required by the rules OF the
body TO which they belonged. Here, then,
are about q 100000 of our people, gen
orally poor. or at least people of moderate
means. who have given credit to these
great CORPORATIONS and companies, ana
in my opinion. it would be a grlevous
wrong to adopt any policy which would
deprive them of the legal right to de-
mand and receive just as good money
as they parted with when they made the
deposits in the banks or paid the premiums
on their insurance policies. The hard
earned savings of the poor ought not
to be sacrificed to the avarice OF the
WEALTHY mine-oWners or the ambl-
ton of aspiring politicians, and II
the people who have a substantial inter
est in the welfare of the country and a
Just appreciation of their responsibilities
as citizens will exert their proper intiu-
ence in public affairs this great wrong
can never be perpetrated.

HOW THE GREAT QUESTION OF
DEBT IS AFFECTED.

One of the most effective arguments
made by the advocates of free coinage, in
some parts of the country at least. is
that the people are in debt, and that it
is the duty of the government to relieve
them by such legislation as will enable
them to procure cheap money for the
purpose of discharging their obligations,
and in support of this argument the most
exaggerated statements are made as to
the depressed and suffering condition of
our farmers, wage-earnerS and other
producing classes. This argument con-
cedeS that under the proposed system of
free coinage at the ratio of 16 to / all
the various kinds of currency in use by
the people. including the silver dollar
Itself, would be worth less than it is
now, for, of course, if this is not TO be
the result money would be no cheaper
Than it is now. To assert that the people
are in debt is simply to say that they
nave traded with each other on credit
that one part of our fellow citizens. re-
lying, upon the integrity and financial
standing OF their neighbors and acquain-
ceS, have lent them money on time and
sold them property to them without de.
handing immediate payment in cash
ana that IN this way they have enabled
many people to carry on a useful bust
ness and live in comfortable homes who
otherwise could not have done so. II

wants to borrow it, or sell property OF

COURT COULDN'T MOVE HIM.
EX-DEPUTY OF INTERNAL REvE-
NUE. MURPHY, WHO GUARDED
HIS RECORDS, SPEAKS IN
PRAISE OF PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND.

Ex-Collector of Internal Revenue
Thomas f. Murphy of Maine, who was
brought into prominence all over the
country during President Cleveland's first
administration by refusing to allow GER
tain civil officials to peruse his records,
heartily indorses Paine's celery COM
pound.
Mr.. Murphy is keen observer. He is
a writer of no mean ability, has been
employed as editor and editorial writer
on several papers, is recognized through
out Maine as a forcible and convincing
speaker, and is universally liked. At
present he represents big Boston house
on the road, where his warm geniality
makes him welcome to every hotel and
railway train.
In the smoking compartment of parlor
car last week he was prasng Paine's
celery compound to fellow passenger.
The person to whom he addressed his con-
versation had been laid up with the grip.
The malady left him in bad way, sort
of depression of spirits and disinclna-
ton for business.
Il felt the same way" said Mr.. Murphy.
After wrestling a week with the grip it
left me depressed and weak. One fight
of stairs was enough to make me puff
and wheeze like leaky bellows. A mile.
walk would almost floor me. Headaches
began the moment / got out of bed, and
felt about as mean as any one could
for the whole day. Hearing so much
about Paine's celery compound I made.

how it worked. 1t was like close appli-
