Borrowers Who Will Be Benefited.

The fact that debasing the currency
honestly evade payment of part of his
debt seems to have so frenZied a por-
ton of the people. that without giving
the matter thought they have at once
assumed that all debtors must be poor
people and all creditors rich, when as
a matter of fact the exact reverse is
the case in many instances. This is
admirably brought out by a writer in
the Pittsburg Dispatch. In a previous
number particulars were given as to
the membership of four of the largest
money lending classes, the savings
ISOLATION members, life insurance and
fire insurance policy holders. They
comprise not less than 100000 people,
practically all of them of the produc-
tive class and fully quarters of
them people of small means, whose
savings from $3.50 up to about $500, on
the average, the free silver plan of
having debts paid. in a cheaper dollar
will cut down nearly half. We
now propose to instance some of the
leading examples of borrowers.
The Vanderbilts are borrowers in
their capacity as railroad shareholders.
They have investments, of course, of
the class that bears interest; but the
great source and present key to their
commanding position is in the owner
ship of controlling interests in the New
York Central, Lake Shore. Canada
Southern, Nickel Plate. West Shore,
and score of other roads. The mort
gage debt of these corporations is
counted by the hundreds of millions.
| If the free silver scheme of reducing
debts by a cheaper dollar We're carried
out the stockholders of these corpora
tons would get the benefit and the
Vanderbilt and Morgan interest, as the
chief stockholders, would get the chief
| benefit.
The Goulds are borrowers in the
same capacity. The pivotal character
of that fortune is the control by hold
ing the majority of stock in the Mis-
souri Pacific, Western Union Tele-
graph. New York Elevated and other
| corporations. There are something
like $l30, 900, 900 of debts of these corpo-
rations, the reduction of which would
accrue mainly to the benefit of the
| GOuldS
The corporations controlled by c. P.
Huntington and his associates are
among the greatest borrowers, in pro-
portion to actual value. in the whole
country. The debts of the Central and

An Imperative Duty.

Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country a re-
sponsibility and duty greater than
any since the civil war. Then it was
a struggle to preserve the government
of the United States Now it is a
struggle to preserve the financial
honor of the government of the United
States. Then it was a contest to save
the Union. Now it is a contest to save

arrayed against section. Now men of
all sections can unite, and will unite,
to rebuke the reputation of our obi
cations and the debasement of our
currency.-William Mckinley

The Course OF the PopuIists.

Candidate Bateman in the Populist)
The nomination of VIM. j. Bryan as
the Democratic nominee for president
came as a surprise to the entire coun-
try. 1t was a battle of giants and
proved to be the fiercest conflict ever
waged in a political convention. 1t has
completely disrupted the Democratic
party. and all the old landmarks have
been swept away in q single day
Bryan is to all intents and purposes a
Populist. For years he has acted with
our party and his nomination was en-
tirely due to pressure from this source.
The platform upon which he stands
might have been taken bodily from one
of ours. 1t is Populism pure and I'M
adulterated. What course the peoples
party should now follow becomes
under the circumstances one of the
momentous questions of the hour.
Never have we been called upon to de-
eide problem so difficult of solution.
First of all we must know if this new
departure is sincere. At the present
moment this seems to be the only cor
rect view to take. The gold men are
tumbling out of the party like rats
from a sinking ship. Nearly all the
eastern Democratic papers have bolted
