SENATOR DANIELS SILVER
SPEECH

OSO
ator Daniels silver speech:
Credit must necessarily be impair
ed under these circumstances. We
may say of it, as has been said Of in
interest, that lnterest,follows the debt
as the shadow the substance, and
credit follows property and ability to
accomplish us the shadow the SUBJ
stance. Ae who has trusted another
to pay money must place reliance up
onSthe others property to make good
his realization. That reliance is
simply the creditors faith that the
means will be forthcoming to meet
the outst anding obligation. This
faith must weaken as the creditor sees
the property declining in value. The
trust and the security for it's per-
Torrance are parted. The creditor
makes haste to collect lest he lose.
Other creditors id similar cases do
likewise. Debtors with depreciating
properties are pressed, their holdings
are thrown upon the market, and the
weakened conditions are stimulated
and precipitated by the steps taken
to forestall and prevent loss.
With Il weakened credit all enter
prise must feel the checkrein Of hest
tation, doubt, and d~istrust. The cir
culating medium now secrets and
boards and hides itself in banks and
safes and stockings, He who has
money fears either to loan it upon or
invest i: in property which is declin-
ing in value. Self-interest stays his
hand and he refuses to buy. for he
says to himself: 4To-lnorrow l a
buy cheaper" Bank of undoubted
solvency finds funds accommodating in
their vaults and staying there, be-
cause money is constantly increasing
in purchasing power, just in proper
ton as property is losing in selling
power. The unjust steward who
boards his talent IN a napkin be-
comes the only prudent ~financier, for
il he loans or buys he may lose. while
IN the napkin the talent is growing
daily in it's power to command what
ever property the owners desire.
Seeing money heaped up ID banks,
the superficial observer cries out:
"Money is plentiful; see how much of
it is piled up here" He forgets that
it Is stagpated, piled up, and heaped
together for the very reason that there
ID no temptation to invest it or circu-
late it In loans upon declining values:

ed to perform. 1t would be circulating

Capt. Murray, j. C. McCunc and a
Deck Hand Probably Drowned.
One OF the most serious casualties of
the storm was the sinking Of the tug Rob-
ert Turner. and the supposed drowning
Of Capt. c. E. Murray. Mr. J. C. McCune
and a negro deck hand.
The tug belonged to r. Rittenhouse
Moore, and was bound from Savannah to
Beaufort to bring over some lighters. She
encountered the storm while at Venus
Point and was wrecked on the south
training wall, near buoy No. 11h. The
crew were thrown in the water but chung
to the piling Engineer z. D. Warren, Da-
vid Smith, the colored cook, and James
Ficklin were rescued from their perilous
position by Mr.. George w. Mortici and his
sister, who is Familiarity known as 1.-THE

sighted Warren clinging to the training
wall, and went to his assistance They
succeeded in getting to him, after much
difficulty, and carried him to the light
house, where they supplied him with dry
clothing and made him comfortable. Later
they spied two men some distance from
where Warren was picked up and they
soon brought them in. Another man
from the tug was rescued by the keeper

TANGLE OF THE WIRES.
The Streets n Perfect Net of Crossed
and Tied Up Wires.

/
and Tied Up Wires.
BY this morning the mass Of tangled
wires which characterized the principal
business streets yesterday afternoon,
will be gone.
As soon as the storm abated gangs OF
telegraph and telephone wiremen, the
forces of the street railways and the
electric light company were at work get
ting their lines in shape. Fully one-haf
the telephone and telegraph poles in the
city were snapped short off and pretty
nigh all the other half were leaning at
all sorts of angles on Drayton and
Whitaker streets almost all the poles
were wrecked On New street, where the
Western Union had a large number OF
! telegraph poles the wind seemed to have
! taken especially pleasure in breaking the
| poles into smithereens. The big cedar
poles snapped as if they had been lead
| pencils.
Manager Maxwell set to work at once to
| get his lines in shape but found the task a
| greater one than he anticipated. All the
| wires were down, not only in the city, but
| for several miles outside Savannah was
| shut off from the rest of the world so
| far as Geographic communication was
| concerned Manager Maxwell expects to
| get enough INES IN WORKING OIu6E lO-udy
to handle the usual business. Not

received by the Morning News last night
The telephone wires are a bad mess.
| Manager Polk hopes to restore communi-
cation in the business district to-day, but
it will be some time before the system IS
in order again.
The electric light company's wires are
all down. Supt. Keck is hard at work, but
| he will hardly be able to furnish light to-
night.
Supt. Claiborne was out yesterday ar
/ ternoon trying to straighten out the fire
alarm and police telegraph wires, bur
| found it bad job on ac-
count of the number of trees
In the street. The fire department would
have been badly hampered had there been
a fire last night. Realizing the danger,
! Chief Mcguire detailed men from each
engine house to patrol their districts to
look out for fires. The police fire relief
was also put on duty on the streets for
the same purpose, and also because the
streets being in darkness there was an
unusual opportunity for lawless charac-
ters to get in their work. Every avail
| able man was put on the streets.
The Gamewell police call system, to-
| gether with the other electrical apparatus
of the city, was thrown out of working
! order by the havoc wrought by the
storm, and prisoners were brought to
headquarters yesterday by the officers

wind swept northwest carrying everything
before it. Around the fountain the walks
were twisted mass of broken branches
overlapping and interlaclng with each
other. Some of the proudest trees in the
park, which had been for years the admi-
ration of Savannahians and visitors to
the city, were lifted from the ground and
lay with their branches broken and split.
The greatest ruin, if one part was less
damaged than another, was south Of the
fountain. That was uninjured, save for
the filling of the basin with mass of de-
bris. The northwestern corner seemingly
caught less of the blow than the eastern
and southern sides. On the Whitaker
street side the fallen trees lay across the

son, Monterey squares on Bull street are
filed with wreckage. The trees in the
parade ground and along the walks on
each side were either uprooted or broken
down. The squares on Barnard and Mont
gomery Streets on the western side of
the city, and on Abercorn and Habersham
streets on the east, were alike scenes of
runous work of the storm. Every street
in the city, from the river to Anderson,
and as far south as there are trees, and
the cross streets from East Boundary to
West Boundary, were blocked with trunks
and broken branches.
Colonial park presented an unusually
weird sight after the blow The wind
played havoc with the trees and shrub
berry and several tombstones were blown
down. The front part of one vault was
blown in.

The winter weather was expected within
short time, and the cars had received
their new coating of paint, and the screws
in the motors had been given an addi-
tional twist. The gusty wind, however
uutwisted everything. and now it will be
necessary to give everything another turn
before the cars can be put on the track
Some of the cars were crushed in from
the top by heavy falling timbers. Others
had their guards and roofs broken COM
pletey off, and of still others there is lit
tie left but the paint. 1t will no doubt
cost the company an average of $1,000 each
to put these cars in condition again. II

get them out in time for the winter sea-
son.

company also lost one of its enormous

pany. Only the roof of the power house
itself was damaged and, it is stated,
the machinery was slightly injured by
falling pieces Little information could
be secured from Superintendent McFar-
land, however as to the extent of the
damage. He did not seem inclined to
talk. But glance was sufficient to show
that the wind had struck the works
pretty heavy blow. The large shed, which
adjoins the power house, and under which
were stored between twenty and thirty
cars, was total wreck Along with it
fell large slice of the wall of the power
house itself, the brick almost crushing a
car next to the wall. The company had
just put all the winter cars in shape to
go into service.
