3 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Real Financial Position--- Facts vs. Problems. MORE CURRENCY--MORE MISCHIEF. Business Men Protesting Against Inflation and Demanding Redemption. EASP EN THE MONEY MARKET Gold Steady—A Good Investment Inquiry for Railroad and Government Bonds. WALL SPREET, WEDNESDAY, Feb. 18—6 P. M. Nothing tliustrates the loose notions that prevail | among & certain class of people more than the wild schemes from time to time suggested for the relief of the so-called financial distress, Most of them represent but one idea—an increase of the public debt in the form of legal tenders, Yet every ew greenback that is issued advances the price not merely of stocks in Wall street, but of wheat, corn and the necessaries of life, Nothing 18 added } to capital; it is simply diluted. The debtors of the country are benefited for the moment, but the ereditors—the workingmen, the producers and users of its real wealth—suffer. The monetary crisis through which we have recently passed may be properly called “the poor man’s panic,” for he has been the only one forced to “tread the earth with bleeding feet.” All others have recovered. ‘The currency that was contracted, WITHDRAWN FROM BANKS, Yooked up in vaults and old stockings, has come forin again, and more (han compensated its owner by the advance of every security that is an object Of speculation, For business purposes no more is practically needed than the $356,000,000 which | ence was the limit of our national issue, and that | other amount which constitutes the issue of the banks, Every dollar in excess of the former sum 1s as clearly illegal a8 so much counterfeit paper. It is more. It is a debasement of the public credit—a wandering away from the promise pledged by the nation to redeem in specie this portion of the public obligation. An increase in currency simply enables gamblers to raise or de- press the price ofstocks. It neither moves crops | nor helps the manufacturer, for there is not A CITY IN THE UNION ‘wherein money is not to-day loaning at unusually ow rates on first class paper. It gravitaies to the Dattle ground of Wall street; flows to the banks; fs loaned out to “pools” that speculate in watered stocks, and make “corners” which enabie the Mons to swindie the lambs. In short, inflation means disaster: and until Congress reaches the wonclusion that whenever it attempts to interfere with the legitimate currents of trade it 1s an ofi- edous intermeddler we shall have no permanent set- tlement of the financial problem. Wendell Phillips, ‘with his Communistic theory that government should“‘lend to ali who wish to borrow, and borrow of all who wish to lend,’ is a fair sample of the | brains now engaged in concocting plans for finan- | ial relief, But if our legislators will give heed to THE REAL BUSINESS MEN Bf the country, to our boards of trade and cham- bers of commerce, who almost, without excep» tion, have protested against further inflation, and | presented the strongest of pleas for the payment of our legal tender debt at the earliest moment possible; if, instead of enlarging, they will con- tract and economize; Wf they will bestow their | attention upon the extravagance of the country | and reduce its expenditures, they will find in the result the readiest solation—the only avenue to the attainment of the object which every true American holds nearest to his heart—the perfec- tion of the national credit. TEE MONEY MARKET. Monéy was easy to-day at 4 and 5 per cent on’ call. Prime bankers’ notes are taken at 5\a7 per cent. In exceptional cases the rates are Dower. Foreign exchange was dull for sterling, | With business at $4 Sa‘, for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and $4 88 for demand. Commercial Dilis continue scarce, and are offered only in small , amounts at $4 82a $4 83}; for documentary bills | and bankers’ acceptances. Continental exchange fs quiet. Reichmarks are quoted at 957% a@ 96 for | long, 96% a 96% for short and 97%; for cables. Prime Paris francs, bankers’, are Of. 173;c. and 5f. 18% c. | for long and short.
