CHEATING ONES CREDITORS.

Mr.. Bryan leads in the van in saying
that it is the creditor he is after. In order
that you should understand just how a
change in the standard of value enables
men to cheat their creditors you have to
consider the function which money plays
in measuring debts If had paid $40 for
next week, and, in the interim, the Gov
erument should pass law declaring that
hereafter the yard measure should consist
of Is inches, and that all existing con-
tracts should be settled in that system of
measure, l would be cheated out of half
the cloth for which l had paid. If, on the
other hand, / owed a cloth merchant for
10 yards of cloth, which he had delivered
to me, and which was payable next week,
and in the meantime the Government
would change the standard of value and
cut down the unit of coinage one half,
then I would settle that debt for s., and
the cloth merchant would have been
cheated.
Now the POpulist loves to say that the
creditor is person who Expresses the
Western farmer: the creditors of this
country are not the bankers; they are not
the so-called capitalists; they are the
laborers and it is at the expense of labor
that this change is made. The laborer is
always creditor for at least one days
work. When any man can show me a
laborer who has been paid in advance for
a days work, I will show him laborer
who is a debtor. The laborer is by the
very law of his being a creditor for at
least one days work, and he is generally
creditor for week work or two weeks
work. Every great industrial enterprise
has for its chief creditors it's own labor
ers. The heaviest account in every de-

NEW YORK. May 2-Manager Tom
O'Rourke declares that the Maher-Slavin
fight will take place tonight before the
Eureka Club. He says there will be no
prize fight, and no brutality. Mayor Glea-
son and Sheriff Don't will both be at the
ringside, and if. in their opinion, the law
is violated. they will arrest the principals

was the general opinion this morning that
the bout would take place.
Governor Morton's communication to
Sheriff Don't, calling the latters attention
to the law in regard to prize fighting and
directing him to enforce it, has caused
some uneasiness among sporting men,
They agree however, that Maher and Sla-
vim will be allowed to box. Should this con-
test he stopped sporting men say it will
give boxing another serious blow. If this
is declared prize fight. then other bouts
which are being held almost every night

after being skinned, their fostering car

other the preparation of fertilizer from the

to the disgust of every one.

Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minister,

Price Claimed by Newspaper for
Advertisements


A suit was filed today by the Washington
Times Company, a corporation organized
under the laws of Virginia, against David
NJ. Newbold. claiming $1,000 damages with
interest from February ., 1896.
The plaintiff company alleges that the
9TH of last February, at the special instance
and request of Mr.. Newbold, it made a cut
of map of the District and published 1t
in its newspaper, The Washington Times
two days later. together with a reading no.
tice prepared from data furnished by Mr.
Newbold. showing the proposed Belt Line
extensions of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company and the Belt
Line Company, and an explanation
of the changes to be made by the new
system and the various advantages to be
derived therefrom The company also al
leges that Mr.. Newbold promised to ac-
count to it for the sum Of 81, 900 in payment
therefor. Conhding in such alleged prom
1ses. the company says, it performed its
part Of the said agreement. but charges
that Mr.. Newboli. although often SO re-
quested to do. has failed to pay or cause
to be paid said sum of $1,000 or any part
thereof. Wherefore, 1t claims said dam
ages and interest.
Attorney Leo d. Yarrell represents the
plaintiff
