THE FINANCIAL QUESTION Hore in Relation to Free Coinage and the Wage-Larners. :: EXTRACTS FROM SECRETARY CARLISLE'S SPEECH How Past Earnings in Banks and Insurance Companies Are Involved. VIEWS OF MESSRS. BARTINE AND TELLER In the financial symportum which The Star published last week there was dis- cussed the relation of the proposed free and unlimited coinage of silver to the in- terests of the wage-earner, with special reference to the effects of the depreciation of money upon his future wages. Today The Star presents to its readers a discus- sion upon the relation of free coinage to the past and accumulated gains of wage- earners, giving the arguments upon this topic presented both by the free silver ad- vocates and those opposed to the policy of free coinage. In Secretary Carlisle's speech to the work- ingmen of Chicago last April, a portion of which was published in last week's sym- pesium, all phases of the silver question were handled, Secretary Carlisle dwelt par- ticularly upon the interest which the sav- ings bank depositor, the shareholder in building associations and the member of mutual benefit associations has in the out- come of the battle between the gold and silver standards. Secretary Carlisic’s Argument. “If the solution of this question affected only the character and amount and pur- chasing power of the future earnings of the American laborer,” said Mr. Carlisle, “it would still be a subject of the gravest importance to kim; but its importance is greatly increased by the fact that the safety and value of a very considerable part of their past earnings are also in- veived. The thrifty and provident work- ingman, anticipating a time when he may be disabled or deprived of employment, has endeavored to save something out of his earnirgs, in order to provide for the com- fort of his wife and children in the future, and has laid it away at home, or deposited it in a bank or building association, or in- vested it in a life insurance policy, or loan- ed it to some friend in whom he has con- fidence. He is not a debtor, but a creditor, and the corporations and individuals hav- ing the custody of his earnings are indebt- ed to him, and ought to pay what they owe him in just as good money as he put into their hands.” An Interesting Table. Secretary Carlisle then presented statis- tics of deposited savings of the wage-earn- ers, from which the following table is com- piled by The Star: Amount. Number. Depostta io. savings banks and num! of depesttors. sss $1,810,597,000 4,875,519 ureposite inetate Cee peat a Trust companies. ...-.. 1,840,888,000 4,875,519 Shareholders in Beiaiag, and loan assoclations fd dues pald..----~ 600,000,000 1,800,000 Life insurance policies ‘and policy holders..... 4,202,857,323 2,000,000 Obitgations and inember- Sal Deneae amsocia= ee eet w+ 5,184,670,086 3,500,000 Cree ae i com Saulega cere 816,050,078 6,919,998 Totals.......200+.2++ $13,855,608,997 25,971,086 Bank Deposits. Continuing, Secretary Carlisle said: “The banks, trust companies, building as- sociations and other similar institutions owe the people of the United States today $5,353,138,521 for money actually deposited, a sum nearly eight times greater than the total capital of all the national banks in the country; while the life insurance poli- cles held by the people in the Various. sage corporations and associations an Rae Today. amount to $10,208,904,357, a larger sum than has been actually invested in all our railroads, and about fifteen times larger than the capital of all the national inks. ec view of these facts, which cannot be successfully disputed, I submit that you ought seriously to consider all the conse- quences to yourselves and your fellow cit- izens before you agree to the free and un- limited coinage of legal tender silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, in order that these great corporations and associations may have the privilege of discharging their debts to the people by paying 51 or 52 cents on the dollar, for that 1s exactly what it means. “It is a low estimate to say that each one of the depositors !n savings and other banks and in building associations, and each holder of a life insurance policy or member of a mutual benefit znd assess- ment association, has dependent upon him or her an average of at least two other persons, and, if 80, a majority of all our people are directly or indirectly creditors of these corporations and associations and are interested in the preservatioa of a standard of value which will insure the payment of their claims in as good money as they parted with when they made their loans or deposits or paii their assessments or premiums. “Every dollar the people jut into these banks and trust companies and other insti- tutions, and every dollar they paid for in- surance was worth 100 vents and would procure 100 cents’ worth of commodities in the market when they earned it and when they invested it, and they have an unques- tionable right to demand that it shall be refunded to them in dollars worth 100 certs everywhere. ‘The adoption of any policy that would deprive them of this right would not oniy Inflict an enormous logs upon them, but would so seriously im- pair their faith in the fidelity and utility of such institutions that attempts to accumu- iate and save surplus earnings would be abandoned, or at least greatly discouraged, for a iong time io cume. A Financial Panic. “But if free and unlimited coinage of legal tender silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is established in this country @ very large part of the money deposited in these va- rious kinds of savings institations will not even be repaid in depreciated silver, but will be wholly lost, because such a reckless monetary system would precipitate a finan- cial panic, which very few, if any, of the depositories could survive. I doubt that there is a single financial institution in the country that could sustain the pressure that would be immediately made upon it by its depositors and other creditors, when it became apparent that our standard of value was to be lowered and our currency depreciated by free coinage. < “Payment of all our obligations held abroad would be demanded in gold at once; every investment of foreign capital in this country would be instantly withdrawn; every man who owed a debt at home or abroad would be called upon to pay it; all depositors in banks and other institutions would want to withdraw their money at the same time; no loans could be negoti- ated and no credit would be given, because no man would lend money or sell’ property on time when he knew with absolute cer- tainty that he would be paid in a Jepreci- ated currency. “Creditors would net wait for the actual passage of a free coinage law, but as soon as such a measure had recetved the ap- proval of the people at an election they would demand their money, and if not paid they would enforce its collection by judi- cial proceedings and the forced sale property. It is useless for you and me anybody else to say that depositors banks and other creditors ought not to pursue this course when a crisis comes, or 1s apprehended, for they always have pur- sued it, and always will, unless human na- ture itself should be changed.” The Recent Crisis. “Less than three years ago you saw our financial, commercial and industrial affairs violently disturbed by the fear that the government would not be able to maintain gold payments,and that our currency would descend to a silver basis. You saw the operations of industry interrupted, banks failing, great commercial houses unable to meet their obligations, credit seriously im- Paired, mills and factories closed and thou- sands of laborers thrown out of employ- ment, and a state of panic and busiuess disorder prevailing in every part of the country. If a mere doubt as to the kind of money we intended to use produced these distressing results, what think you would be the probable consequences of a delibe- rate determination upon the part of our people to adopt silver monometallism as a bermanent system? “The imagination ean scarcely conceive the deplorable state of society that would immediately follow the announcement of such a policy, and I will not attempt to describe it. “It cannot be posstble that in the closing years of the nineteenth century and in this great and free republic the peo- ple themselves will imitate the bad exam- ples set by the corrupt potentates of Eu- rope, who have made their names forever odious in history by debasing the money of their subjects end robbing the industrious poor of thé just rewards of their labor. ‘Ihe greatest crime, short of absolute po- litical enslavement, that could be commit- ted against the workingman in this coun- try woul’ be to confiscate his labor for the benefit of the employer by destroying the value of the money in which his wages are pald. But, gentlemen, this irreparable wrong can never be-perpetrated under our system of government unless the laboring man himself assiste tn forging his own chains.”” of or in Mr. Bartine’s Views. One of the monographs issued by the American Bimetalli¢ Union bears upon this topic of wage earhers’ savings. It was written by H. F. Bartine, who says: “The goldite is alwa$s distressed at the thought of the poor'hod' carrier or the poor washerwoman who has $200 or $300 in the bank having it scaled’down in <value by the free coinage of silver. ““Why,' he. says, ‘ix money;is made 25 Per cent cheaper, the $300 will only be forth $225, and te $200 will be worth but 50." “If anybody thinks that the chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and the great bankers of the world are opposing the free coinage of silver in the interest of the washerwoman, he must be credulity itself. This objection 1s easily met. In the first place, comparatively few laboring men and women have any deposits in bank, and they are constantly becoming relatively fewer. Those who have are exceptionally fortunate. Just now a very large propor- tion of the laboring men of the country are looking rather anxiously for work with which to provide themselves with the bare necessaries of Iife. “Secondly, it must be remembered that $200 or $300 in bank is but a very small item in the economy of a workingman’s life. What he needs {s steady work at good wages. Let us do a little figuring. Suppose he has $300 In bank and Is working at $2a day. Suppose, further, that in con- sequence of the low price of the product the factory in which he is employed is on short time, and he has to lose one day in each week. In a year he is short $104 on wages account. Suppose prices go a little lower and the factory closes entirely. He gets no wages at all. How long will his $300 last? Not very long, we may be sure. Now take the opposite condition. Sup- pose, as before, he has $300 in bank. Times are dull, and he is losing a day each week— say $104 in a year. Silver is remonetized, and money becomes 25 per cent cheaper. His deposit shrinks to $225, in purchasing power. He loses $75. But this means higher prices for goods. His factory starts up in full blast and he works every day. In a year the extra time amounts to $104. He is $20 ‘ahead. But with the increased de- mand for labor wages are certain to rise. Keeping within bounds, let us suppose that 2% cents a day are added to his wages. This amourts to $78 a year. When the whole account is balanced at the end of the year we find that he has lost $75 on his deposit and gained $182 in wages, so that he is $107 better off. But this fs not all. The sum total of his loss on the deposit is $75. “He does not lose anything on that ac- count the next year, but his increased earnings go right on, and the second year he is $182 ahead. Under the changed con- ditions he would be better off without the $300 deposit than he was before with it. It would take but a little over two years for the increase of his earnings to amount to more than the entire deposit. “The workingman’s capital is his capacity for labor, and his interests are on the side of rising prices and business activity, which always bring his labor into greater de- mand. “Going a step farther, it may be laid as an axiom that appreciating money (which means falling prices) is always productive of business depression and “hard times;’ while, within the limits of moderation, de- preciating money (gbich means _ rising prices) invariably stimulates business enter- prise, and leads to general prosperity.” Swindling the Creditor With Cheap Money. Continuing, Mr. Barfine says: ‘The al- leged swindling of the ‘éredits with ‘cheap money’ is the string’ mst played upon by the gold standardist/ ard upon the whole it has perhaps had more.effect than any other point made. The pepple!are generally hon- eat, and appeals to {tefr tategrity on behalf of ‘honest money’ aif the honest payment of every just due naturglly have a powerful influence. ig “It must be congédéeg! at once that, as nearly as possibly, ‘every honest debt should be honestly ald, To pay a debt of $1_with 50 cents is fontlary to every prin- ciple of justice. If {s" equally wrong to force the payment ‘of a $1 debt with $2, with this addition, that compelling the debt- or to pay at the rate of $2 for $1 does in- finitely more harm than to allow him to pay $1 with 50 cents, because it grievously oppresses the debtors who are least able to stand it. But as nearly as possible absolute justice should be done, and every debt shouid be paid according to the equity of the contract. “The weakness of this argument Hes in the fact that it assumes the gold dollar to be an hor.st dollar, and that every debtor is bound to pay in gold or its equivalent. It completely ignores the very eSsence of the whole controversy, namely, that gold has nearly doubled in exchange value dur- ing the last twenty-two years, and that this appreciation is still going on. There is no legitimate grcund to question that in part, at least, this tremendous rise in the value of gold has been caused by the de- monetization of silver, which up to 1873 oc- cupied a common field with gold and met a portion of the demand. “If this be true, then it necessarily fol- lows that the complete remonetization of silver would again relieve gold of a portion of the demand for it, and to some extent lower its value, at the same time raising the value of silver. The effect of this would be to make money cheaper; that is, prices would rise. The tendency of this would be to injure creditors who have re- cently loaned money on a gold basis. On the other hand, it would be simple justice to those who contracted debts some years ago on the basis of money cheaper than money is now.’ Mr. Teller in the Same Strain. In his book, “The Battle of the Stand- ards,” Mr. J. H. Teller touches a similar chord, as follows: “Were labor fully employed and all kinds of business in a prosperous condition, there would be no excuse for a proposal to lessen the value of money. But this is not the situation cf today. Appreciating money threatens ruin to the industries of the na- tion; not only threatens, but has already brought ruin and distress to a large part of the people. It is not a question whether or rot the money in the savings banks shall lose some of its purchasing power, but whether even a part of this money may be saved to the depositors. For nothing is more evident than that if improvement in trade and a larger demand for labor do not come soon, the deposits of the poor must be used for their subsistence. “They have already drawn heavily upon their savings, as appears clearly from re- ports of many of the savings banks, and especially from the experience of the build- ing and loan associations of the country. Thousands of stockholders have not only teen compelled to cease paying on their etock, but to withdraw that already paid in. The laboring man is more concerned in setting employment and living wages than In maintaining the high purchasing power of his little savings, while he consumes them in idleness, with no hope of anything but the poor house when his moncy is gone.” ——___-_-e-—__.. AS COCKRAN SEES IT. He Favors » Platform Indorsing Me- Kinley Electors. Bourke Cockran, who returned from Eu- rope Saturday, in speaking of the political situation, said yesterday that he regarded it as the gravest in the Listory of the coun- try “The movement launched at Chicago is an attempt to paralyze industry by using all the powers of government to take prop- erty from the hands of those who created {t and place it in the hands of those who covet it. This Is a question of morals as well as of poiitics. No political convention can Issue a valid license to commit offenses against morality, and I decline to foliow Mr. Bryan in a crusade against honesty and the rights of labor.” “Will you support Major McKinley out- right, or do you favor the nomination of another democratic ticket?” “I believe that all democrats who are so thoroughly in favor of sound money that they place the defeat of Bryan above the interests of any organization or party should meet in convention for the purpose of considering the form and method by which they can give the greatest efficiency to their opposition. For my part, I do not believe that the nomination of other caa- didates for President and Vice President, however eminent and deserving they might be personally or politically, would serve any useful purpose.” Asked if his policy would be to indorse the McKinley electors, he said: “Precisely. The democrats who will have achieved the success of their financial plank by the election of McKinley will yet con- stitute an oppositicn to the republican party, the day after election, based on principles which are certain to be ulti- mately adopted by the American people. What is needed, therefore, is not a new ticket, but a new platform which will de- clare in unmistakable language the card- inal features of the party faith, and which, while indorsing McKinley electors, will pro- vide for a really democratic opposition to the McKinley administration during the period of its existenci oo Nominated for Congress. “Cyclone” Davis, the people’s party lead- er, was nominated for Congress by the populists of the fourth Texas district to succeed D. B. Culberson. The democrats of the twelfth congres- sional district of Texas nominated Judge Marshall Fulton of Marion for Congress. Ex-Congressman Paschal withdrew.
