SEES NO CAUSE FOR PANIC.
Secretary Gage Discusses New York
situation.

New York, December ss.-wsil street
became somewhat excited today over tho
news that the secretary Of ihs treasury
was In conference at the sub-treasury
with Pierpont Morgan and James Still
man, president OF the National City
bank. The conference lasted about an
hour. After the conference Secretary
Gage said:
II was ovsr at kast Orange last night
and thought would come over here to-
day to see Treasurer Jordan and talk with
him about the situation. While here 1
have been looking up the evidsnce OF this
panic We hear so much about. a. irdi-
Last Christua s everybody was happy
Money was easier and free. No condi-
lions Of distress appeared anywhere In
sight. At the present time there is very
different Christmas feeling and have
bssn looking mt the facts TO zee what
has occurred to justify the change.
II find that year ago this date, the
deposits Of ths associated banks OF New
York were sso6 0oo. coo; loans were s7vs,
600, 0t0 and cash on hand, $2is. co. 100.
Today she deposits are $7t0. 600. 90, a
shrinkage Of SOD. COO. 600: loans show de-
crease OF ss2 10000; cash shows de-
Grease Of va. on. 0c0 and perhaps, ct the
that $40, 0o0, 00o In the shrinkags In de-
posits IL due 10 the fact that New York
charges for check collections.
The shrinkags in loans end cash
offsets Q shrinkage Of 81, oO0, COZ In de-
posits. The clearing house statement to-
day shows an increase In reserve Of So
GOO. 900 for the week, bringing the surplus
reserves Of the banks In excess OF legal
requirements to Substantially 81, 0o0. 900.
] cannot, looking at It from the outside,
see where the panic conditions are JUS
titled by the facts of the oase."
The secretary was asked whether his
talk with Messrs. Morgan and Stlilman
foreshadowed any further action on the
part Of the trsa ,ury. MIR. Gage answered.:
"No, not as all.
ado you propose to accept any more
United States bonds and extend the time
for so doingS"
mo. do not. The option closes to-
aay."
william 8. Herer, manager Of the clear
ing house association, was also at the
conference for shor. time.

TESTING At HONESTY.

One of the beneficiaries of the local
Republican Machine makes fun of
the resolution adopted by the Sum-
NIT County Farmers Institute, pub
lished in last weeks DEMOCRAT,
protesting against the exorbitant
salaries drawn by Summit county's
officials.
He says that 1.-The farmers resolute
against the high salaries but they
don't vote that way. When the
farmers go to the polls they forget
all about their resolutions"
Auditor Sisler will not verify this
light opinion of the situation. He
says that the defeat of the Russell
Salary bill cost him more than three
hundred votes among the farmers of
Summit county last fall.
High salaried county officials who
rest in the fancied security that the
farmers pay no attention to such
things as the outrageous defeat Of
the Salary bill, may have to modify
their conclusions after next week S
election.

BUYING AN ENDORSEMENT.

An enormous campaign fund is at
the disposal of the local Republican
campaign committee and the can
didates for county offices.
It is announced that the candi-
dates for county offices have raised a
fund of nearly $4,000 to be used in
behalf of their reelection.
A sum equally as large will be
obtained from Hanna headquarters
through the intervention of Col.
Dick.
The determination is to carry Col.
Dicks "home county" at whatever
the cost.
Have the people ever wondered
from what source this money comes?
Practically every dollar of the money
sent here by the Hanna State COM
mittee has been contributed by
trusts which expect favors in ex-
change for assisting the Republican
campaign committee. liz turn the
trusts are enabled to recoup them
selves at the expense of the people
in the form of exorbitant charges
upon articles of whose manufacture
the trusts have monopoly.
The fund which the local RepubIi-
can office holders have raised upon
their account represents the exorbi-
tant charges which they have
been able to take from the people by
reason of the defeat of the Russell
Salary bill. Within the last two
years, according to the estimate of
of Representative Russell, the people
of Summit county have been made
to pay these officials about s6O, 200
more than would have been neces-
sary had these officials been unsuc-
eessful in defe, ting the Russell
bill.
So when our Republican friends are
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-10-30

heard to boast of their splendid
financial ability to carry on their
campaign, tell them that every cent
they are spending to promote their
reelection represents just so much
unjust tribute taken from the pock-
cts of the people.
An endorsement, whether of an
administration or official, that has
to be bought and paid for like SO
much merchandise, does not count
for much in the estimate of intelli-
gent citizens.
While the people vote to endorse
offlce-holding trusts,-local. state or
national-they must expect to be
plundered by the trusts.

Art Simms want to push that prom

Art Simms want to push that prom
Using young pugilist along little too
fast, says the Cleveland World.
Simms is young and should wait a
little before he meets the top notch
ers. He is clever, but there is
whole lot he doesn't know about the
ring. A year of fights with third and
fourth-raters will put Simms in bet
ter shape to meet the polished ring
generals of the east and west. If
he has it in him his friends needn't
fear that he will lose anything by
waiting.
In the meantime, lot of local
men, as we'll as the Akron crowd
would like to see Simms pitted
against some one who could give him
a better try-out than DennisOn. The
Rockport A. c. is likely to put him
on for a 10 or 20-round bout with a
strong local man during the early
winter.
