The New York Financier of last week
has an article on the Savings Bank
Vote, in which it is declared that there is
abundant reason to believe that the large
Republican majority in Vermont last week
is due to the fact that the depositors in
savings banks voted solidly for the Repub-
lican candidates, because they see in the
free-silver proposition a menace. BY the
last report there were 94,994 savings bank
depositors in Vermont with an average de-
post of $309.S1. In Maine, which holds its
election next Monday, there are 155, 7o4 saw
ings bank depositors. In Maryland there
are 1892 depositors; in New Jersey 1877 S97:
in California, 172 225; in Illinois, 94724: in
Iowa, T.S09; in Delaware 1S,64S; in Ohio.
S6,1S3; in Minnesota, 42,777. In Indiana and
all the Central Western States the building
and loan associations have hundreds of
thousands of shareholders who will be quite
as prompt to protect their interests at the
ballot box as are the depositors in savings
banks,

1000 shareholders in building and loan
| associations seven-eighths are wage earn
ers. The 1,622. 739 policy holders in legal re-
serve life insurance companies carrying IS,
$50, $780, 900 of insurance, and whom the COM
panies owe s1,1S3. 900. are very Iargel:,
men and women who put their savings in
to life policies because they are in limited
circumstance Outside of the larger cities,
and particularly in the smaller cities and
towns, a large part of the deposits of
banks of discount are the small amounts
of money placed in those banks for safe
keeping. In this city alone the share
holders in building and loan associations
hold net investments of $1,000, 0eG on which
they receive dividends. These sharehold-
ers constitute the largest body OF creditors
in the city Most of them are wage earn
ers, and probably very few of them can
be. called rich.
These constitute the bulk of the creditors
whose aggregate savings make up the
loanable money for business purposes and
for mortgages. They constitute a very
large army. In fact, in the three classes
above named there are 8,2430o0 men and
women. If to these should be added those
Interested in various benefit orders, to say
nothing of large numbers of people Of
small means who have money in discount
banks, the actual creditors would number
more than 10, 000, 900 of people, two-thirds of
whom, it is safe to say, are voters. Con-
sequently, if Mr.. Bryan should be able to
array all the creditors against him and
none but the debtors for him, he would be
badly beaten.
1t is very strangs that Mr. Bryan does
not recognize the fact that the poor are
really the people who furnish the bulk of
the money which is loaned upon mort
cages and business securities. That he
does not, Is evidence that he is man
without ordinary information. No really
patriotic would attempt to array
debtor against creditor. 1t is an offense of
no light degree, but when the votes shall
be counted he will be punished. The mil
lions of men and women irl this country
who have their savings invested in the
financial institutions above named are
reading his speeches attacking them and
their interests. They will attend to him
later on, as they did in that State of saw
ings banks, Vermont, a week ago to-day.

In his speech at Kenton, O., Mr. Bryan
said that if worl1ingmen were urged by
their employers to join Republican or
sound-money clubs they should do SO to
keep their places and pretend to be sound
money men; but when the election came
they should vote the other way Here is
what he said
Let him wear the opposition button if he
Will. Let him contTihilte to the campaign
fund # he will. but let him remember there
is one day In the year when he is his own
master and can use his pencil as he
publicans every day in the year If you will
just be Democratic on election day. J. am
willing for you to wear gold-bug buttons
for all the rest of the time it. when YOU
enter the booth, you will remember that
the gold standard never conferred a bene-
mt upon those who toll.
Mr.. Bryan is said to be a member of the
Presbyterian Church. He passes for an
honorable man, and is a candidate for the
high office of President of the United
States, yet he deliberately advises work
ingmen to play the sneak and become
hypocrites and liars, if necessary, in order
to deceive their employers. Mr. Bryan is
either devoid of moral sense himself or else
he must think workingmen are to offer
them such advice as that. IN either case.
he is not fit to receive the vote of any
honest man.

Song-wldter Gaunt. who is reported to be
dying, is best known to fame as author OF
the popular ditty, Push dem Clouds
Away" Another production much adj
mired was Love Me Little, Love Me
Long" of which these lines are a sample:
Put yottr arms around me, honey, even if
you have money;
Love me little, love me long;
For you know I'm in a hurry, when my
heart is in furry
Love me little. love me long.
I'd fly away on high, knock a hole up in
the sky,
And hear the angels sing their brightest
song
Get a move and do not tarry, If you do we

He has also written some 500 other songs
more or less pleasing to the public taste,
and no doubt his talent supplied want
in the musical world. but, should Provi-

awhile before taking UP subscriptions for

For years in no branch of the public
service he's greater effort been made to
ferret out frauds than in the Pension But
reau. When Mr.. Cleveland came in more
than three years ago. large force in the
Pension Bureau and large force of spe-
cial agents were set to hunting the frauds
with which the pension rolls We're said to
be "honeycombed." The Commissioner of
Pensions and other officers of the bureau
wrote letters to postmasteys urging them
to report to the bureau every man drawing
q pension who was not. in their judgment
entitled to it. Thousands of nanies were
dropped without hearing. but more than
three-fourths We're restored in the course
of a few months. During the eighteen
months which ended jan l. 1856, the names
of IA 500 pensioners had been suspended or
dropped by order OF the Commissioner be-
cause of the proof or suspicion that such
pensioners were not entitled TO the PIN
sion. This was the result OF eighteen
months effort costing thousands OF dol

Labor day seems never to have been so
successfully observed by organized labor as
yesterday. There was a very general ces-
sation of labor, and business was suspended
in the cities. 1t is greatly to the credit
of the trades unions that they succeeded
so well in keeping the celebration out OF
politics They may also congratulate them
selves that they have given the American
people holiday which will be generally
observed as the Fourth of July and Memoir

If the reports concerning the action of
Governor Matthews in regard to a few
prominent Democrats whom he suspects of
treachery, or, at least, lukewarmness to
the cause of Bryan, are true he has set
himself up as a boss of the variety that
cracks the blacksnake whip. Instead of
silencing him. the Governors fiasco at Chi
cago seems to have pulled him up with the
idea that he is the anointed king of the In
diana Democracy. Before the year 1896 has
passed he will know better.

here OF the Chinese question. its merits

all the arguments are not upon one side.
The Americans know the good qualities of
Irishmen and that after a process Of as

Ii Hung Chang considers them solely in
the light of prosecutors of his people and
naturally sees no virtue in them. He not

a reasonably excusable animosity toward
them, but visits a share of his displea3ure

ing the continent through British territory

direct snub to the Pacific coast States, If

raised against the Chinese in this country,
however satisfactory to ourselves have as

it to his own country to spend DR..

The truth probably is that the real objec-

a race antipathy which does not exist to
an equal degree in connection with other
nationalties. 1t is embarrassing to admit
this and we seek for other grounds for
our opposition to accepting the celestials as
our fellow-citizens, but it would be better
to acknowledge the truth to ourselves at
least, than to put forward unsound argu-
ments to support the prejudice We do not

Ii Hung Chang thinks it unfair to shut
cheap labor out of the United States, while
the free-trader is indignant because at
tempts have been made to shut the prod
ucts of cheap labor out of this country.
There is no difference between the two
kinds Of free-traders. Cheapness is the
central idea of both. The mass of people
in this country, however, have discovered
that very cheap production involves very
low wages, and very low wages smites a
nations power to purchase with paralysis.
