A TAME AFFAIR.
Centrists Bring Up the Russian Treaty
Matter in German Reichstag.
eut Debate Peters Out and the Expected
Sensation Falls Flat.

Berlin. Nov. 16.-In the Reichstag. to-
day, Count Won Hompesch. one of the
leaders of the Centrist party, offered an
Interpolation demanding an explanation
on the part Of the government of the
neutrality treaty between Russia and
Germany. the existence of which from
1884 to 1880 was disclosed by Prince Bis
marck in the recent series of articles in
spired by the ex-chancellor. which APP
peared in the Hamburger Nachrichten
the princes personal organ.
During the debate Herr Richter
aroused the cheers of his faction Of the
Chamber. the Richterist Radicals. by
making personal attacks upon Prince
Bismarck; obviously aiming at provok-
ing the old chancellor's son. Count Her.
bert Bismarck. into replying.
Count Won Mirbach, Conservative. saw
the object of Herr Richter. and expressed
the hope that Count Bismarck would not
leader. Count Won Mirbach then pro-
ceeded to defend the acts of Prince Bis
marck and was followed by Herr Won
Kardorff Free Conservative. who spoke
in a similar strain. the speeches of both
deputies being loudly cheered.
The debate was tame affair in COM
parison with what was expected by the
opponents of the government, and fell
far short of being sensational. After the
speeches of Count Won Hompesch, the re-
plies of Prince Hohenlohe and Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein and the re-
marks of Count Won Mirbach and Herr
Won Kardof. the discussion fattened out
completely.
Count Herbert Bismarck stated that he
remained silent during the debate be-
cause the declaration of the chancellor.
Prince Hohenlohe. had supplied him with
no basis upon which to discuss the facts,
and he was not willing to deal with hy-
potheses. He would confine himself sole
~ to denying that the interview upon the
revelations of the Hamburg Nachrich-
ten. published in Vienna and supposed to
have been furnished by him. had ema-
mated from him. or that he knew any
thing about it.

BEGIN THE WORK.

The evil of the times is idle money.
While it lies boarded in vaults industry
languishes, labor is without employment,
enterprise is paralyzed, trade is dull, the
home suffers and every class of citizens
from highest to lowest undergoes the de-
preston of hard times and is compelled to
deprive itself of accustomed comforts in
order to avoid debt, bankruptcy and the
threatening probability in some cases of
absolute restitution.
So long as the Democratic party is in q
position to menace every trade and every
industry by advocating free trade and re-
pudiation. it is hardly right to demand of
private capital that it should undertake
the risks and ventures of engaging in new
enterprises. This is all the more reason
why public money available for public
works should be put into circulation dur
ing the summer, so that workingmen can
find employment until the campaign is
over and industry reyiyes with Republican
success.
At the present time large sum of pub
lie money is available for use in San
Francisco. The National Government has
appropriated $1,000, 600 for the new Post
Office building. The State has set aside
$500, 900 for the ferries depot and $3.50, 600
for the buildings of the affiliated colleges.
The City government has $500, 600 for q
municipal building. This makes a total
of $4,000 for public work, and every
citizen knows the work should begin at
once.
1t is perhaps too much to expect any
thing from the National Government so
long as the deficit tariff is in operation and
Cleveland is at the head of affairs. About
the only nse OF the appropriation is to
point to San Francisco workingmen the
result of voting for free-trade party and
free-trade candidate. The State and the
municipal money, however, we may hope
to see put into circulation by the imme-
date beginning of the proposed work if
the proper representations are made in
the right quarters. To this end agitation
should be directed at once. Let us get the
money out of the vaults. When it is no
longer idle the number of idle men will be
decreased and there will be better business
for every body.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-07-15
OUR IDLE MONEY.

Mr.. Mckinley hit the nail on the head
the other day when he told a delegation
from one of the interior towns of Ohio
that "the employment of our idle money
the idle money that we already haye-in
gainful pursuits will put every idle man
in the country at work" Mr.. Mckinley
did not intend to be understood as mean
ing that the present volume of gold, silver
and paper is the limit of the country's
monetary requirements now and forever,
but that if the money now in existence
could be got out of its hiding place and
given employment in the active business
world it would be found TO be plenty to
start every idle mill and workshop in the
land.
As is well known, soon after the inaug-
uration of Cleveland people began to
draw in their capital. There were fears
which subsequent events proved to be well
founded, that an alarming shrinkage of
values would follow the policy of the new
administration, and hundreds of millions
of money was retired from business pur-
suits and placed in banks and safe deposit
vaults. 1t is said that never in the history
OF the country was there as much unem-
ployed capital as at this time, or rather
during the last three years. 1t is as Mr..
Mckinley says. If this idle money would
come out of its hiding and seek employ
ment in gainful pursuits there would not
be an idle man in the country, except
those who prefer idleness.
While every sensible man will admit
that Mr.. Mckinley will be elected there is
hesitation on the part Of capital to ven-
ture out because of the one chance in a
thousand that Altgeldism will prevail az
the November election. If all persons
who are opposed to the revolutionary pur-
pose Of Bryan would take occasion to en-
phasize their purpose to work and vote
against that sort of thing no doubt the
millions of money now in idleness would
not wait until McKinley's election is
officially announced. The importance.
therefore, of a continuous demonstra
ton of disapprovaI of the Bryan theory
of finance, industry and commerce
is apparent. A sound industrial policy is
sure to keep capital at work, and the
