THE REAL SITUATION.

The Chan ring of the Standard of Value Increased the Burdens of the Debtor Class. There is a school of writers and speakers among us which argues that prosperity can be brought back again merely by changing the standard with which values are measured. They say that if we will cut the measure in two, so that one will be two, so that prices will be nominally double, though the purchasing power of the two will be no greater than that of the one we now have, yet in seme way which they do not explain tilts change in the way of making measurements will make the people prosperous. We do not see how this is possible. We do see that if a man owes money, if the government will cut a half dollar in two and enable him to discharge his debt with half dollars where he owes whole dollars, that he will make something at the expense of his creditor. But how will this help the country? The creditor will merely have lost half his money. The debtor will have made half of it. But what will the country have gained? We do not think it will have gained anything, but that it will have lost much. It will have put the world on notice that this government stands ready, in response to popular clamor, to debase its currency in order that those who owe money may cheat their creditors. The inevitable consequence will be that the country will lose in credit, and every individual citizen will lose. The "citizen will lose because he will be recognized afterward as one of a community of people who stand ready to repudiate debt, instead of paying it.—Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. We need not say that the case is unfairly stated by the Telegraph.' What is the situation in which the people of Georgia—the people of the whole country—find themselves? It is as serious as it is simple. They find that by a change in the standard by which values are expressed and appraised— a change surl-eptitiously made —every debt more than twenty years old has quadrupled in value-flthat every debt four years old has doubled in value. The process is so plain that no sensible man can fail to see and understand it, and even a blind man can feel the effects of it.

But the Telegraph is of the opinion that to change the standard of value to what it was before, when the world admitted its justice, would be unjust to the creditor. But what about the debtbt? There must be a level of justice for both debtors and creditors. Debts are paid with the result of labor, and there is no other way of settling them, and when an injustice is saddled on labor, the evil effects of it are felt in all directions. The people of Georgia pay their debts •with cotton, and this is just as true of the merchant and business man as it is of the farmer. In other words, the cotton crop is the basis of business in Georgia and in the south, just as manufacturing is the basis of business in New England. This being true, anything that tends to reduce the purchasing and debt-paying power of cotton not only disturbs business but interferes seriously with the prosperity of the south. We presume the Telegraph will not despute this proposition, stated in this form, and yet it is only another way of saying that prosperity depends on a just basis of settlement as between debtor and creditor. Our contemporary appears to regard only the interests of the creditor, but the interest of both debtor and creditor should have consideration.

AVe need not, for purposes of illustration, go back to 1873, when by surreptitious legislation the standard of value was changed and the relations between debtor and creditor most’ seriously disturbed. AVe need go no farther back than four years ago to show how these relations continue to grow more and more disturbed —the disturbance being always in favor of the creditor and against the debtor. Four years ago a debtor who owed 8100 could pay it with two bales of cottoD or with less than US-bushels of wheat. If he borrowed the money in 1890 it was worth no more to the man who loaned it than the equivalent of two bales of cotton and 118 bushels of wheat. But if the SIOO dollar debt is to be paid in J 894, it is worth four bales of cotton, or 200 bushels of wheat; and the interest, at 8 per cent., will have required an additional bale and a half of cotton and 04 bushels of wheat.

This represents the growth of the value of debts only during the past few years. If we go hack to the year the change was made in the standard of value, the growth in the value of debts has been simply appalling. It is a wonder the people have survived the system of robbery. But the argument of the Telegraph is that as this system of robbery has been put in operation for the benefit of the creditor class, it would be unjust to that class to return to the standard of justice represented by the bimetallic standard. A wrong once put in operation those who profit by it acquire vested rights which it would be unjust to disturb. If this is not the position of our contemporary, it should change the terms of its argument. Justice would seem to suggest that the spoliation of the people, the states and the nation has gone on long enough. It is not wholly an affair between individual debtors and creditors. It affects every state, municipal and industrial corporation in the country. It affects the nation itself with respect to its interest-bearing debt; and thus the burden of indebtedness is quadrupled and sextupled. The average creditor is almost as badly hurt by it as the average debtor, for he, in turn, is a debtor. Almost the whole of the profit of this vast system of robbery falls to the share of the bondholding classes of this country and Europe. We cannot, of course, convince our contemporary that it is not debasing the currency to restore property values and prices to the level of justice and prosperity that existed when silver was demonetized and our stock of money of final redemption reduced by more than one-half. But we can,at least, present the truth of the situation and advocate

the only remedy that will afford the people reasonable or permanent relief. We earnestly regret that the editor cannot take a view of the financial question warranted by facts, by history, and by all the most eminent writers on finance and economics. He speaks of the loss of credit due to a debased currency, but he fails utterly to perceive that not only the loss of credit, but the loss of all the forms of prosperity not due to the ownership of gold, must inevitably follow the debasement of property values, prices and wages. There is no need to pursue extremes in the search for a remedy. AVe need only to place our currency system back* where it was when the gold standard was adopted; We deny that it is debasing the currency to do this. We deny, too, that creditors, national or individual, have any right to reap larger profits than justice and equity call for. —Atlanta Constitution.

FREE COINAGE.

How It Would Believe Financial Distress In the Country. In a speech delivered at Kansas City favoring the free coinage of silver, Judge Henry, among other things on the subject, said: “The American silver dollar made a legal tender for all debts, pdYdc and private, and the free coinage of all the silver produced lpy our mines brought to the mints for coinage would Kettle our financial difficulties and to a great extent the labof Question. It would give a fresh and legitimate impetus to trade. All our industries would at once experience a wholesome revival. Labor would find employment and capital seek investment. The enactment of such a law would have that effect immediately, if not another silver dollar were coined in one, two or three years. Money would leave its hiding places, confidence would be restored and men who have money now lying idle in the banks or safe deposit vaults, awaiting an opportunity to acquire desirable property at a third or less of its real value, would seek paying investments at once. The property of the discouraged and disheartened farmer, merchant and mechanic would soon reach a fair market value, and the law would inspire them with confidence to hold it and give them new energy in their several .pursuits. “But how is the free coinage of silver to help the masses? How are they to get it when it is coined? I ask you how first-rate crops help the people of the country in which they are grown? The farmers spend the money they get for their produce with the blacksmith, shoemaker, merchant and . saddler, and through them it is distributed generally among all classes. The miners, like sailors, are spendthrifts, and what they get the}' spend liberally, and as they acquire fortunes they build elegant residences, tenement houses, business houses and invest their money in enterprises which employ labor. We do not ask the government to coin a dollar on its own account, except the silver bullion purchased with gold dollars, but to open the mints to silver bullion, on the same footing with gold. “There are hundreds of millions bf silver currency now deposited in the banks and the United States treasury. No railroad employe, factory hand, or other person doing manual work, would refuse it for his daily labor, at its coin value. They would be glad to get it, and could purchase with it what they and their families might need, as much as they could with gold. All this talk about giving the poor man a good dollar, instead of one worth only 57 cents for his labor, is false, and intended to mislead and deceive the unthinking. It is a mathematical proposition, not to be controverted, that things equal to the same thing are equal to one another. If a silver dollar is equal to a bushel of wheat, or a yard of cloth, and a gold dollar will not purchase more, then the silver dollar in its purchasing power is equal to the gold dollar here, for all practical purposes. If five silver dollars will pay a debt of five dollars, what does the debtor care whether, for that purpose, he is paid for his work a five dollar gold piece, or five silver dollars?”

Facts as to the Present Ratio.

Facts which cannot be controverted explode the theory of those who would change the present ratio of 10 to 1 to 18 or 20 to 1. The truth is there is no sincerity in the proposition. It is merely a pretext for opposition to the coinage of silver. With $500,000,000 now coined at 16 to 1, what would be the condition should we coin others on the same footing at 20 to 17? The free coinage of our silver is what is demanded, and the financial question will be discussed and unsettled until that object shall have been attained. The charge that its advocates are repudiationists and cranks and demagogues and favor fiat money and inflation will not deter us from insisting upon what we know to be right and just and for the best interests of the country. More than one hundred years ago we declared our political independence of Great Britain. Now let us declare our financial independence, and in the fight on that issue the odds will be in our favor. —Judge Henry.

After the Hattie.

This scrap of news was telegraphed from Denver a few days after the election: “The silver men of Colorado and other mining states are maturing plans, it is said, for launching a silver party. They will co-operate with the bimetallists of the south and east, and a call will soon be issue for a meeting to effect an organization.”

The Cause of It.

Prior to the demonetization of silver in 1873 gold and silver was the standard money. Since then it has been gold. The supply has been cut in two. causing a falling price in silver and a corresponding appreciation of gold. Hence, lower prices for wheat, lowci prices for labor and bard times generally.

Rather Disastrous.

Free coinage is not an experiment but so far as the single gold standa" has gone it has been a most diastrouone.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Goshen's chief of police has issued an edict to prevent snow balling among school children. The mayor of Indianapolis issued a peremptory order to the police officers instructing them to notify the keepers of all resorts that hereafter they will not be permitted to sell intoxicants of any kind without both a city an county license.

Cassidy opened it and found that it contained powder and a stick of dynamite four inches long. Had it, from any cause, exploded, it would have destroyed the station and other property and killed a number of people. The intention may have been to blow' up the station, but this is unlikely.

Michael Johns, a prominent farmer residing east of Brazil, was found dead in the woods a short distance from his home, buried beneath a heavy saw log. Mr. Johns left early in the morning to bring the logs into town, and, as he did not return for dinner, his family became fearful and a search was made. His team was standing by the dead man, being unable to move, as one end of the log blocked the wheels of the wagon. Mr. Johns was 45 year« old and leaves a wife and two children.

The New York Bowery Insurance Co., of New York, has been blacklisted and forbidded to operate in Indiana. It is announced that this company had withdrawn from the state and afterward solicited insurance. The policies were to be written in New York and thus avoid taxes in Indiana. A factional fight is brewing in republican ranks over the proposed reapportionment of the state for legislative and congressional purposes. The supreme court has affirmed the yerdPict of 5it, 350.50 given Airs. Catherine Burton, whose husband was killed by the Panhandle cars at Royal Center.
