Chicago's Gold Standard Woes.

Chicago's Gold Standard Woes.
The Chicago Times Herald has the
following covering the suffering in
the wicked city by the lake:
In a local descriptive article
"Chicago has 5000 families actual
ly starving to death.
1t has 10000 wives, husbands, and
children, begging for bread, begging
for pittance of food to keep the
body and soul together, huddled in
to single rooms and freezing in the
blizzard that visited the city yester-
day.
1t has mightier cry for pity than
it had at the close of Worlds Fair"
Editorially it says:
Perhaps since the great fire there
has not been a keener.occasion for
generous giving. The country is now
in tile fourth year of a period of hard
times. Very rich men have had their
fortunes trimmed, SO to speak; moder-
ately rich men have been reduced to
sharp counting of the cost of casual
luxuries. All classes have suffered in
degree. But thousands and thousands
of those brave folk whose only hope
in life is to fight the ship till they fall
face to face toward fighting on the
deck have been precipitated from a
hard earned and perilious independ-
ence into black and hopeless poverty.
*** We do not share the opinion of
the yersifier who wrote, Organized
charity, cold as ice, in the name of a
hard, statistical Christ but we SUBJ
NIT that the present crisis, when ILL
clad, hall. famished shapes confront
us on the streets; when the cold
pinches the denizens of novels aud
tenements, when the children in q
thousand squalid homes cry for sus.
tenance, when women fight for bread
at the county agents door, and able.
bodied men swarm on the railway
tracks, eagerly bagging fragments Of
coal-this crisis is not to be met with
perfunctory measures"
This is truly deplorable picture O.
the condition of the poor of Chicago
as well as other cities. And right
there in their midst is what the Times
Herald and its president are clamor-
for; a "home market, with 10000 peo
pie ready to use the boots, shoes,
groceries, and grain stored mountain
high" in its city, but not morsel Of
which can they obtain.
Also right there is Cleveland's pana
cea; free trade" But the freezing
starving poor, under the policy the
Times-Herald has been contending
fer and which Mr.. Cleveland has
been enforcing upon the country, are
unable to enjoy the good things OF
every hand about them without thu
means to purchase. This can onl.
be given them by so improving tn
financial condition that they can b.
given employment and compensate,
adequate their urgent necessities
A constant diminishing money suppl
means increasing suffering, want
and restitution among those who's
necessities are supplied from the re
turns of their daily toll. Four year
of our present financial condition
bequeathed by Harrison to Cleve
land and by him turned over to tn
financial school of the Times-H HI ral
is certainly not a very Cheerful
picture tor the unemployed, hungry
cold and cherries thousands i
American cities.
