THE POWER OF MONEY.

When the Popocrats get to figuring
upon what the people of this country
owe they run the amount way up
above the billions sthat it is and stop
somewhere lin the neighborhood OF
forty billions. ThejIlatest statistical
statement of the department of labor
at Washington places the total in
debtedness of the country at 500, 227,
100000, or about one-half what the
Pops figure it out. A little over one
fourth of this debt is owed on farm
and real estate mortgages. The rail
roads owe just about one-fourth. A
little less than two billions of it is
due depositors in savings banks, and a
trifie less sum to depositors in ma
tional banks.
But whatever the sum, whether it
be more or less, the Popocrat in refer
ring to it draws down his face in a
most solemn manner and says that all
the gold in the world is not sufficient
to pay it. True. And if our money
volume was expanded to the full eX
tent OF Pefferian ideas as to fiatism it
would still be insufficient to discharge
the debt, though worth but 25 cents
on the dollar and passed at par.
In the first place, and very happily
the entire sum of Indebtedness does
not become due upon the same day.
They compare dollar in discharging
a debt, to bushel of wheat in salts
flying the hunger of man. But there
is no comparison between them in
this respect whatever. After the
the bushel of wheat has been eaten,
it is gone and cannot be used again.
But there is no limit to the work
which dollar may do in the way of
discharging debts. If it takes loaf
of bread,to satisfy mans hunger,
that is as far as it will 60. 1t will
satisfy the hunger Of no other man.
But if he owes dollar and pays it,
the dollar is not destroyed by the act,
but is ready to satisfy another debt
to the same extent, and goes on I'M
limited.
There is no greater sophistry put
forth than that by the Popocrats that
because the volume of the world s
gold will not discharge at one time
the debts both public and private of
this nation, that 50-cent silver dol
lar must be coined free and in un-
limited quantities.
Before these debts can be discharg-
ed, they say, silver must be restored
as money of redemption. The great
mass of the people OF this nation are
not worrying about the money of re-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug. 1S.-To-day's stock
market was dull and professional, and
the movement of prices narrow and ir-
regular, with one or two exceptions.
Lower London prices and profit taking
caused declines at the opening, but
full recoveries occurred later under
the leadership ofSugar and Manhattan.
The only influences of a specific char
acter was the bank statement which,
as had been anticipated, was unfavora-
bic. It showed a loss of $4,415, 400 in
reserve, bringing the surplus of that
item above the legal limit down to
50, 400,175, and a falling off in deposits
of S9,770, 500. The exhibit induced
more rate selling but at the low point
a covering by shorts, stimulated by
lower rates for money, which was Of
fered in large sums al per cent, start
ed anew the upward movement The
closing was firm at the rally with the
net changes trivial. The bond market
to-day was depressed on light offerings.
The higher priced issues ruled at inn
proved figures but sales at marked de-
clines were also recorded in them. The
speculative mortgages were three to
five points higher with the Atchison
and Kansas and Texas liens leading the
gains. The sales were S6,013,000.
Governments ruled higher with the
new As rising exceptionally 2 per cent
to 113. The sales were S1S8,000.
Silver certificates were weak and
sagged TO 67R on dealings of 1884, 00.

New York, Aug 15.-( Spec ABA
quiet ending to the most exciting fort
night the trade has witnessed 5 but
natural and has no significance egard-
ing the course of prices. Fluctuations
have been so violent that all a. will
ing to take a fresh look at the situa-
ton before entering into new engage
ments. On one side are the continued
bad crop accounts from the southwest
with no signs of relief from any quar-
ter in the shape of a heavy rainfall,
though light scattered showers in sec
tions of Mississippi and Louisiana. On
the other there is the heavy movement
and the lack of speculative demand.
Our advices report exporters as eager
buyers of the new receipts at the high
er prices, while crop accounts are GER
tainly not cheerful reading.
From Liverpool our cables state the
weather to be the dominant factor,
and purchases are advised. Even at
present prices unless immediate re-
lief is given to the protracted drought.
