More Creditors Than Debtors.

The Teachers, Cooperative Building
and Loan association of New York CITY,
has 615 members. Of this number rs
| are borrowers of funds-that is, debtors
to the others. If this ratio is main
tanned in the 5000 building and loan
associations in this country, having
100000 shareholders, there are about
100000 debtors to 1,5SO,000 creditors.
or more than seven creditors to one
debtor.
Free coinage at sixteen to one would
undoubtedly help the debtors. 1t would
enable them to settle their obligations
to their fellow members at so cents on
the dollar. But are the 1900 900 credit
ors all bloated bondholders whom it
would not wrong to legislate out of
their property in this way? And are
the 100000 borrowers all poor and de-
by heavy mortgages at usurious
interest? Not much! The debtors are
usually worth more than the creditors.
VIII the seven creditors, out of SYM
pathy for the one poor debtor, this year
vote to cancel one-half of his debt? Not
IL they know on which side their bread |
is buttered.
The whole free coinage superstition |
s delusion. There are far more credit |
DIS than debtors, and, strange as it
nay appear, the creditors are COMPARE
lively poor.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
NDt Much Danger OF This Country Join.
Ing China and Mexico.

NDt Much Danger of This Country Join
Ing China and Mexico.
| Mr.. Louis Windmuller is one of New
| York's leading merchants who has
large transactions with German and
other foreign houses.
| In recent number of the Berlin Ma
ton, one of the influential periodicals
in Germany, he explains to foreign
holders of American securities why it
in probable that the United States will
stick to gold as the standard of value.
While not understanding the gray
ity of the present situation he finds sew
cral reasons for thinking that this
country will not take its place with
Mexico, China and other half-civilized
silver standard nations. One of these
is "the recent rise in the value of sill
YER caused by eastern demands, and the
increased production of gold" which
may continue until our miners will
cease to grumble." He reasons that:
"a large supply of gold is apt to in
crease many values. Wheat and some
other staples have risen and may con-
tinue to rise until our farmers become
reconciled to the gold standard. Mean
while, in consequence of information
spread through various channels, many
of them begin to doubt if cheap dollars,
If legalized, would be more easily OBJ
tainable than honest 100 cent dollars,
and if the thrifty would be more in
clined to part with savings the value of
which had become diminished by I'M
just laws
In his opinion, "the great political
parties cannot trifie with the financial
question. The people are tired of I'M
certainty, and majority will probably
