THE GOLDBUGS ACTIVE.

AS a sample Of the untiring energy
of the goldbuas and their literary
bureau in the prosecution OF their
campaign for dear money and cheap
men, the Register has been handed
by a prominent banker of this city,
who happens to be a Democrat and
silver man, a circular letter he re-
ceived from Secretary Hanna-Mark's
brother-of the Indianapolis Monetary
Convention addressed ito the business
men of the United States" in which
new way of beating the gold devil
around the stump is suggested. The
plan is embodied in the bill recently
favorably reported to the House by
the Banking Committee and is
calculated to fool a good many people
into believing it a true and liberal
solution of the money question, while
in reality it would leave the gold devil
as complete master of the situation as
ever
This scheme provides, among other
things, for the issue of reserve notes"
to the banks for greenbacks, which
ale to be cancelled. These notes the
banks must redeem. Thus, while it
would relieve the Treasury Of the bur-
den of redeeming the greenbacks in
gold, as the goldbugs insist they must
be redeemed, instead of in coin" or
gold OR silver, as the law provides,
by placing the burden of redemption
on the banks, it would not give as any
larger volume of money in circulation
AID would still leave gold the stand
ard of money and the measure of value
as before, and would only in small
way relieve the situation.
Another feature of the proposed
measure is to permit national banks
to issue additional currency upon com
mercial assets, while their bond Sc
cured circulation may also be in
creased from 90 per cent Of the par
value of the bonds, as at present, to
the full par value. This provision
would benefit the national bankers
chiefly and would place the power OF
expanding and contracting the cur
rency even more largely in their hands
than it is at present.
The usual bluff is made about the
s.,,rnoe, Docc;hlo uco of ci1ynr.'' bpipo
allowed, which simply means that the
use of silver would not be enlarged
and the white metal would be con-
tinued as at present, not a money
of final redemption on an equality
with gold as the trainers of the
Constitution intended it should be,
out mere token money-a representa-
tive of gold. for which the proposed
measure provides it shall be ex
changeable.
The Register calls attention to the
scheme mainly to acquaint the people
with the important fact that the gold
bugs are not idle, that the money kings.
alarmed at the growth of sentiment
against the oppressive gold standard,
are doing everything in their power
to entrench their position and to con-
fuse the popular mind on the money
question. In view of which fact it
would be well for the people not to
lose sight of the main issue between
them and the plutocrats. and of the
fact that the only way the situation can
be relieved and the volume of money
increased with safety is by the in
crease of the volume of primary money
which the free coinage of silver would
give.

Young Letter denied that his specu-
lations have had anything to do with
the advance in the price of wheat. He
said the rise is natural. not artificial
This may be partly true, but how does
he account for the drop in prices from
the high point of about forty cents a
bushel since he began to unload on the
r,arket if the artificial means of the
corner he had run did not force up the
price?

WAGES AND TRADE


One of the most shortsighted meth
DDS of tiding over business difficulties
that employers could adopt is reducing
wages. The experience of the cotton
manufacturers of New England has
made this fact manifest. The Provi-
dence Or. ID Journal of Commerce in
discussing the situation says:
The general reduction in wages was
evidently not the remedy that the con-
ditions demanded. In response. the
price of goods fell at once, and the
whole effect of the reduction was thus
more than discounted.
'On the other hand, the domestic
market was likewise paralyzed by the
reduction, as the wage earners in the
factory towns, who are among the best
customers in the country for the pro-
ducts of the mills, have been compelled
by the strikes and reductions to prac-
tically cease purchasing"
1t is a self evident proposition that
to take away from the consumer the
ability to purchase goods is one of the
surest possible means of reducing the
prices of these goods. The New Eng
land cotton operators have found this
out to their cost
This rule holds good throughout the
industrial world 1t is impossible to
lower purchasing power without de-
creasing demand and decreasing de-
mand always forces lower prices. This
is the simplest kind of logic.

H "EMINENT CITIZEN"

Each town all over the world has
its one eminent citizen. WeinstOCk
has for some long years been held up
to the light as the one in Sacramento.
His word was regarded almost as
sacred as holy writ, and for some i'll
defined and vague reason, there was
a sort of halo beaming from every
thing with which the revered name
of H. Weinstock was in any way
connected.
Men preached his name with a sort
of reverence, and if Weinstock said
this or said that, why lit settled it,
Something over a year ago the Sac
ramento Bee became impressed with
the idea that this same Weinstock
was merely the blind, unreasoning
creation of a misled community and
was quite a different man than the
thing which public 1umor painted
him, and they alluded to him in some
pretty plain English. He was &C
cused as being "a shield for boodlers
and black1nailers." He sued for
$4,000 and got $500. On the stand
he was mixed up, tripped up, and his
evidence astonished his friends with
its fragrant contradictions.
The "eminent citizen" has gone up
against a newspaper who is no re-
spector of persons and he has come
out of the scrimmage with an esti-
mate by ajury, $4,000 less than his
own inventory of himself.

the industry will not be confined to

PRESIDENT AND MRS. M'KiN-
LEYS FIRST RECEPTION.

Doubtless our readers will be interested
to hear from an eyewitness something OF
the first public reception by President and
Mrs Mckinley.
Formerly these receptions were open TO
the public generally, end the Jam and
crowd were such That there was no pleas
ure in attending them. This winter a new
form has been raugurated, and only a Ger
tain number of invitations are issued TO
each reception or course it was quite an
honor 10 be included among the guests OF
the first reception of the season, ana some
little unpleasantness was created among
those in high circles that all could not at
tCrd at once, but as this was Impossible.

A letter from lady who was one of the
invited guests, gives a very charming ac-
count Of the evening. She writes: "The
hours were from until II o'clock, but We
could not succeed i'll getting our carriage
until 9:30 O'Clock. and our hotel was only
two blocks from the white house 1t was Just

us his carriage was IN line thrcc-qudrtcrS

seemed to be no crowd in that direction.
