PANICS.

There is probably, no part of the workings
of this government that is so little understood
as the financial. Every once in about ten
years panic takes place. Business is in
state of paralysis, labor is thrown out of
employment and all property shrinks in value,
Then the bankers of the country all at once
raise cry of "a lack of confidence" But
the inanciers never locate just where this
lack of confidence lies. A case of this kind
was the panic of 1898. The amount of money
in the country at that time was in round
figures 81 900, 100000. The deposits in the
National banks at that time 81, 500, 100000, So
it would seem by the figures that the National
banks alone had loaned 5000, ,0O0,00O in excess
of all the money in the country, But this is
not the worst phase OF the question. When
we come to consider that these same bankers
are compelled by law to keep from Is to 25 per
cent of their deposits as reserves in cash Z.
which at a low figure will reach the sum of
S45O, OOO, 900. This coupled with the fact that
the treasury department reports show that
there is held there in excess Of demand $780,
900, 900, which in round figures means that
there is 500, 0O0 900 that is not loaned at all.
But the National banks are not all. The
savings banks of the country 1896 report de-
posits to the amount of Sl,935, 100000. This
makes the sum total on deposite in theSavings
and National banks 50, 54S, 000,0 900. This does
not take into account the deposits in over 5000
state and private banks, which it would be
safe to say have on hand $500, 600, 900 Of re-
serves, leaving in actual circulation doing the
business of the country not 20 exceed $780,
900, ,OOO So by these figures it would seem
that the National and Savings banks alone
have every dollar of money in actual circula'
ton loaned and re-loaned over seven times; or,
to be plain, there are six dollars in bank
credit doing business to one in actual money.
In 1898, when the panic took place, these
same bankers had over 81, 900, 100000 of bank
credits in circulation to S1,000,000,0O0 in
money among the people to meet and pay
them with. And they became frightened at
their own inverted pyramid which they had
built up, and refused to loan any more and to
call in that which they had out to save them
selves and they contracted their credits $780,.
900, 900 in sixty'nine days. As a result
employers were compelled to close down their
works and throw their help out on the
highway as tramps,-[City Item.

CHEAP GOLD.

The gold advocates know that II is the
quantity of fmoney in circulation and not the
quality that makes for prosperity or produces
panics. But instead of acknowledging this
fact they insist that it is the cheapening Of
production of the precious metals. that causes
their fall in price. In one of their campaign
productions, now being used in the Republican
press the statement is made tLat by reason of
improved methods "the average cost of silver
is not more than onefourth or fifth of what IL
was formerly" And they make the predic-
ton that with the same influence in the pro-
duCtion of gold like results will follow, citing
ing as an illustration and proof "California's
part in the history of the world" Then they
follow with the statement that gold is now
being produced at low rates and in greater
abundance than ever, which will be followed
by a sure and steady rise in prices" But they
do not give an honest reason for the rise in
prices, which necessarily follows a fall in the
price of gold. If they would, they could
readily agree with the valid arguments of the
silver men who declare that with the increased
production of silver, which would have had a
tendency to increase prices Of productions as
well as lower the price Of silver, the gold
advocates interposed decided obstacle to the
r.se in prices by taking away from silver its
most important function, that of money, by
denying the equal mintage with gold. The
cheap production now claimed for gold comes
from the quantity produced for given
expenditure of labor. 1t is the abundance
the quantity-not the quality--that makes it
cheap. Why cheap-not because of its cheaper
production, but because measured by other
products--which is the only way we have to
determine cheapness, it takes larger given
quantity of it to make exchanges than former
ly. The history of the world of finance
proves beyond question that when there was a
large production of the precious metals, where
they were used as money, prosperity and
rising prices always followed Nothing more
clearly demonstrates the quantitative theory
of money, which. all leading economists
acknowledge, than this. To attempt to
account for it by ascribing cheapness to produc.
ton or any other cause, is simply the folly Of
fools,

Is IA CRY OF "woLF"7

Gen. Warner in his speech at the Tabernacle
on Tuesday night made a strong plea in favor
of the government issue Of paper money. He
warned the people against the work that was
about to be done and would undoubtedly be
done by the currency commission provided for
in McKinley's last message to congress should
the fall elections give majority for gold in the
United States senate. He pointed out in no
uncertain language the evil that would befall
the people should the currency measure now
contemplated become law. He made a
timely reference to the opinions of the greatest
economists Of the world ON the dangers to the
common people that would attend the placing
of the issue Of our paper money in the hands
of individuals or corporations without the
restraint Of law or government control. To
the man who has not heretofore given atten-
ton to this important subject, General Warner
cited the authorities that will give him the
opportunity to look them up and study the
issue which will prepare him to raise his voice
against the extremely dangerous position now
occupied by the gold advocates, and if enacted
into law viii prove inimical to the best in
terests and welfare of the common people.
Speaking of the intent and purpose of the
currency commission to retire the greenbacks
and government notes at a cost if necessary
greater than that paid for the election of Nc
Kinley, he said that it is proposed by this cur.
rency commission to issue interest bearing
| Ic tn 10 ;nt
bearing money and make the bonds perpetual
debt on the resources of the people.
Not stopping there they intend to go further
and issue up to the full face value of these
bonds national bank non legal tender cur
rency in vast amounts so as to create good
times. They being fully aware that prosperity
can only come with a full volume of money in
the hands of the people. With large volume
of money the people will be encouraged to ge
into debt because of rising prices. With thu
bank currency in circulation gold would b.
driven into the vaults of the banks or int
exile.
Debts created in this non legal tender money
but which the creditor would refuse to receive
in full satisfaction thereof, the banks woult
be in position to demand payment in gold al
Of which they would hold themselves and fol
which they would demand liberal premium
This in brief is the proposals of the gold ad
vocates as related by Gen Warner. Will thI
exposition of this question by such vel
known authority arouse the attention of the
masses to the importance Of the ISSUE Their,
is disposition on the part of many people t.
belittle the warnings of the ardent silve,
advocates They are inclined to believe tha
it is cry of wolf. The Republican leaders
encourage this belief by telling them it il
simple a meaningless cry that deserves NJ
attention.
But the people are listening with mucf
interest to the warnings of the silver men ant
by study and observation will soon be forced
to believe that it is "sure enough" wolf.

A TERRIBLE BLOW.

The story of the discovery of anew process
of manufacturing gold is again published by
the eastern press. Two men are engaged in it,
DIR. Emmens, a well known scientist OF New
York, and Edward @. Brice, an equally well
known scientist, of Chicago. DIR. Emmens
makes his gold from Mexican silver dollars
and claims to have sold to Mr.. Preston,
director of the mint, 81, 600 worth for which he
shows receipted bill. The gold was sold for
$13 per ounce. Mr.. Brice makes his gold from
antimony and lead and has so much faith in
his process that he has expended $25,000 in
building factory for the work. This conver-
sion of the white metal or the baser metals
into gold, making Klondike discovery in
fact at our own doors, would have a tendency
to destroy the hopes of the gold bugs and make
it possible to bring about the millennium with
out the aid of these exceedingly patriotic
people.
But what terrible blow these discoveries,
if they prove to be practical will be to the
money lenders-the gold standard plutocrats
and shylocks who have erected golden
image, and because they could control the
material of which it is composed, have COM
manded that all people shall worship it under
penalty of being cast into a fiery furnace.

PERSONAL RIGHTS IGNORED BY
LAWYERS.

We have measurably ceased to care about
personal rights. No lawyer, unless proposing
to devote his practice to the criminal courts,
cultivates that branch ofthe law. Commercial
activities have grown SO great, wealth has
been so aggregated, enterprises are so large
that attorneys, seeing where their bread and
butter lies, devote themselves to the rights Of
property and care little about the rights of the
person. Then the lawyers work was in the
courts, now the best paid lawyers seldom ap
pear therein. Their struggle is to keep out o
courts The vindication Of human liberty il
nothing to them, for they concern themselves
entirely about the vindication of human
wealth. and they are well paid for the astute
ness they bring as clear.headed business mer

sideration of cases involving large amounts o.
