REASON AND REMEDY FULLY DISCUSSED Tribute to the Memory of Leland Stanford ~There Wil 1le No Two Standards of Value In the Face of Goa. . Rev. Frank Crane delivered an eloquent warmon on he Financial Crisis” at the First Congrogational church yesterday morning. The prelude to the sermon was o tribute to the memory of Leland Stanford, in which he said: *‘Ameflcans are easy for- gettars. We enter a luxurious Pullman sleeper at New York, and making but one change, land in San Fra in a fow days. «We rest in pleasant beds, lulled to sleep by the monotonous hum of the rolling wheels. ‘We dine on the most select food in beautiful dining cars, while looking out upon the specding landscave, and we little realize the immense pluck and bravery and enterprise o the men to whom all of thisis due. One of these men was Leland Stanford. Tam not horo to say he was a saint nor to preach him through to heaven in a private car, but all of his wealth cannot cancel the fact that he wus & man remarkable for his business capacity and his humane impulses. [t is not our hu.dnms to investigate any man's soul. Of the dead we should only speak, if poss ble, in terms of praise, and I have only brought the name of this man into the pul- pit beeause 1 find something about him that s most estimable.” Speaking of the financial stringency the eminent divine said, in part: Skoloton of Hard Times. “Now comes the geim spocter of hard times. Ho shakes ruin from his hair. His i s of Pauguck \kers arc hoarding their money, merchants are sacrificing their goods to wet ready cash, clerks afraid they will lose their positions, far anticipating a bad markot for crops, ontsreading lost thoir children shall be left with the means for an_ education and_ the whole social fabric t wondermg whether this is merel & tempd or the prelude to a panic. “What 18 the cause of this crisis? We ar 1a 1 1o know that it is not in nature or pro dence. We are 1 ng in_the most pro- ductive country on earth. We are raising more breadstuff ana manufacturing more ap- parel and implements than any other land. We had no famine, no pestilence, no war. Therefore the depression must soon pass away. Men are asking cach other what is the eauso almost as eagerly- s they are asking what is tho remedy of the situa- “I'o my mind hard times is the great n boil, Corruption in the body politi A8 in the physical body, must gather to a head every once in o while. ' Boils aro a_sympton of bad blood. - After they gather and brealk we feel better. Oue may be apparently healthy quito s tine with fiis blood out of order, but by and by there are eruptions and the purigut matter is expelleo. It is so in politics. The tyranny of the Bourbons founded upon the lie that one man was ter than anotter, human slavery upon the samo rotten cornerstona; the I'rench rey- olution was the cure of the one and the American rebellion the healing of the other. Now what 1s the bottom trouble in the bus ness world? It is any unjust transaction, auy false valuation. Mutual Profit n Romedy. “There is but one really just trade that can be made between men and that is where both parties receive a profit. A deal in ,meivhich one man gains at the expense of another man’s loss 1s essentially niquitous in the eyes of absolute right. Until the time comes when all such things shall be ruled out of the business world there will always be trouble. ’ “The bankers and others who lend money * are usually the first to discern the signs' of the times and become more stringent in their loaus. The business enterpriscs nextv feel the shock and a commercial crisis ensues, mercantile establishments failing one by onc throughout the country. Kventually the whole population receives the storm and busi- stagnation ensues. This, howover, onlv sts until the enterprise and faith of the people recover, which is always rapidly in , times bogin to improve again, and the eyele of boom and panie, prosperity and falure roll on. The merest tyro in political economy must acknowledge that this alterna- t1on between stagnation and ove extremely harmful. s Why 15 it that such a condition’ of must con- tinue? It is not satisfied with the natu: able increaso of wealth in this pople in an_ab- normal haste to bo rich join hands to_ forco an unnatural inr Commercial dopres- sion is nothing but a readjustment of values 10 correspond with the truth.

Wo may as well atiempt, to juggle with the laws of gravitation as with the equally imumuta- Die laws of moral truth. Justice some diy, or rather must always bo laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet. 1t would be a good thing if every booming city, every Board of Trade, every business house, the national congress, should i on its ofticial seal the words, “Thou shalt not lie.” *Hard times toach us that it is important 10 insist on the ethics of spending as well as tho ethics of making money. It is the com- mon opinion that while onc should be cureful about the way He makes mouey he can spend it as ho chooscs. Kvery man is under obligations to his fellows, and if peoplo were thoroughly aliye to the responsibilities that the possession of monoy, whether great or small, placed upon them thoy would so live that the pendulum swing of hard and flush times would coase and an cra of continucd pros- perity flow on.

We need revival of plain liviog and high thinkin, Much has been said o a sneering way about the Puritans, As ono ola preachor vemarked, *1 wish it would rain Puritanism for a week.” The people need to understand that the pleas- ures of life are not in things that can be bought; they are not dependont upon out- ward circumstances.

Soon afterward he went out 1o the Presidio, where he announced to the colonel that ho was a deserter and that he wanted to bo arrested. After he had been ques- tioned enough to test his sanity and os show that he was telling the truth, hit request was grunted, He will ba held for the court martial, and there is little doubt that he will soon change his red and black uniform for the soft gray of the military pris- oners at Aleatra: Carsor, according to his own_ story, has a home at Fultonville, N.

Nandow, the German Samson, America. Sandow, who is regarded as the strongest man in the world, is giving oxhibitions in New York. He was born in Prussia twenty-six yearsago. At an em'lf' age he was taken to Rome, and was fascinated by the wonderful Greck statues, particularly that of Hercules. At the age of 10 he decided that he would make himself as much like Hercules as possible and succeeded well. Sandow is admirable not only because df his great strength, but because of the fact that his extraordinary power is due to complete development. His deter- mination has made him a great deal better man than nature intended him to be, and she started out to make a con- spicuously fine job of Sandow. Nothing that has ever been scen in New York can be used as a standard of comparison to measure the wonderful young German who has just come here. Compared with Sandow, Corbetty the fighter, is like a lean spring chicken besido a well muscled bulldog, and the profes- sional strong men of circuses and mu- soums, with their pretentious bunches of muscle, seem weak and unimpressive. Sandow can lift a 500-pound weight with his middle finger. He takes in hi right hand a dumb bell with an enor- mous sphere at either fend. In cach of these spheres a man is concealea. He lifts the dum bell and the two menabove his head with one hand. He can oblige any friend ho has in tho world by letting the friend sit on tho palm of his hand and then lifting higitin the air above his head as casily as the average man would lift & small sized dog. "He places him- self upon the floor with his chest up- ward and supported only by his hands and feet, his, body formjng a bridge, A gung plank is placed across his chest and three horses stand, upon this at one time, with no supvurt axcept that which the 2hest offers. T'wo of the horses are small horses and tlg\o third is not enor- Now In mous, but the weight of the smallest horse would more thau. satisty the chest of the ordinary man. . ¥ "The man who does ;gsx of .theso tpings isonly 5 fept 8 inch&s high and does them because he has developed to the “highest point every separate muscle in his body. Around the waist he meas- ures twenty-nine inches; aroand the chest, when fully expanded, he measures fifty-eight inck his waist, therefore, is not much bigger around than Mrs. Langtry’s and his chest is a_ good deal bigger around than Grover Cleveland’s Grover Cleveland, Mrs., Langtry and the entire public must be interested in such figures as these, Sandow has a method of his own to de- velop the muscles. It consists in various exercises with two dumb bells weighing five pounds each. Hedeclares that with these dumb bells he has developed, not only the muscles which everybody can see. on the outside of his body, but internal muscles, which strengtheén the walls of his chest, enable his heart and other 1nsides to endure great strains and assuro him a long life. . He does not take any especial caro of himself in the way of eating or, drinking. Beer and wine are not strangers to him and to- bacco is his intimate friend. He leaves brandy alone, however, as he does simi- lav poisons. An_ interesting featuro of Sandow’s method of training is that he can train very well sitting on a chair He can siv down and read a paper and keep his muscles working all the while, 50 thatv all development of fat is ren- dered impossible and his strength is kept up to the highest pitch. o private life this young man is a vory pleasing type of the simplo minded German, His head is shaped exactly like the heads on tho old statues of He: cules, The forehead is low and rather broad. 71%e head is not quite straight up and down behind, but with only slight development, It is thickly covered with a short crop of tight golden curls, each one looking as though it-had been spe- cially fixed up with a hot iron, but the curliness is perfectly natural, He weighs 200 pounds and his neck is nearly twenty inches round, almost as big around as the head above it. It wouldn't be a bad neck for a small bull, Tt is a wonderful neck for any man, His face is a pleas- ant face; his eye, which is gray, shows the character which has made him the man he is and which enables him to at- tempt with absolute confidence and calmness the various feats that fill his audiences with delight- and make him rich, 1 i The Boy that -Make Kich Men, Good Nows: Old ‘Professor--My young friends, let me give yow & word of advice.

But congress, having entered upon this strange system of expansion, determined to use the power of the government to force the circulation upon an unwilling public. The associated banks of New York, Boston and Pniladelphia adopted rules forbidding the uso of these dollars and also the silyer certifi- cates in clearing balances smong themselves. Disciplined by Congzres: “It really seems that when both debtor and creditor agree not to use a currency thought to be injurious to the public wel- fare, they should bo allowed to reject it in their own transactions without the fear of punishment. The national banks, however, heid the government and the di was soon brought to bes that no national bank should belong clearing house that refusod silver cortifl arters from the pline of congress r. It was decreed to a in payment of balances. Wheu bank ters had to be renewed, the ren was conditioned upon the receipt and circulation of a currency already bad and getting worse day by day. The government now ontered tho field as a common carrier and trans- ported, without charge, this unaccoptable currency to any part of the country that would deposit gold for it in the subtrcasur- ics, ‘hus, tho government sowed tho wind and now, by the jushlaw of retribution,reaps the whirlwind. The public demands that gold back and the government must pay it or embarl once on the treacherous sea of depreciated currency. 5 “When pains and penalties fiiled to coerce the banks, the persuasion of self interest W resorted to and they were offered the bribe that silver certificates received by them might be counted in their bank re- servos. Finally, when the banks remained obdurate against threats and seductions, it was thought the general public might sur- render to the temptation of all notes and to that end, in 1886, it was enacted that the secretary of the treasury should thereafter issue silver certificates in denominations of 81, 82 and $5 and the larger certificates atready issued under the act of 1878 might be exchanged for the smaller denominations. 1usues of Sliver Certiticates. “If greater expansion of the currency were really required by the legitimate demands of business, it might have neen secured, it seems to me, by Inducing an increaso of the national bank notes, a currency secured by United States bonds, paysblo in gold and always worth a premium. Iustead of this tho contrary policy was most persistently pursued, vesulting In a_decrease of specio paying bank notes from $358,000,000 in 1883 to $173,000,000 in 1892, While this better cur- rency was being driven out by unfriendly legislation the channels of business wero being gorged by an issue of $410,000.000, $335,000,000 of silver certificates, and finally under the act of 1800, by tho issue of 85 000,000 more of these notes i the purchaso of silver bullionat an enormous loss to the people and to the zovernment. $Of the $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 in gold with which we began in 1875, none can be found in circulation. What has'not gone to foreign countries enjoying the blessing of a singlo standurd, has been hoarded, not to reappear until its cwners have some guaranty that, if loaned. it will be roturned in money equally good. Tho gold certificates, not already forced upon the government, for redemption of which the §100,000,000 gold reserve is sup- posed to be held by the government, const tutes the best security of the national banks and hence the greenback is rapidly disap- pearing. The national bank notes aro neces- sarily held if possible by the banks issuing them, in fear that in the extromity of dis- tress their roaemption may soon bo asked in gold. Nothing is left but silver certificates and treasury notes. The banks are unable to maintain their lawful reserves. Heac they can give no relief to a suffering commu- nivy, Deploted of Its Surplus, “Thegovernment treasury is depleted of its surplus.

Distrust Atfects the Country, “It is not poverty, but distrust that affects the couatry. Our fabric of finance must be torn down and built anew. It was con- ceived in error and every stop in it increased the doparture from truth. The act of 18738 was dishonorable to government and ruluous to the peovle. 0 act of 1590 was a were device to substitute silver for gold as @ standurd of value. Iron or copper is either moro stable in value today than silver. We accepted the bad adyice of the silver infla- tiouists once—yes, twico. The oup is too bitter to continue the draught. They said that if America colned silver England, France and Germany would be constrained to use it and silver would take the parity of gold. On the coutrary, its fall has been rapid and without intesmission. ‘These for; 1 governiments now have our gold and we are left with a currency discarded by the whole world and scarcely more valuable than copper. “We shall again be told that there is not gold enougnh to furnish the world's ex: Ehanges, §f evory man's oxperience did 8ok deteot this fallacy the sophistry might be accepted as argument.

Naw York, July 2.—The World's Berlin cablo says: The absorbing topic of the day, overshadowing even the army bill, is tho sil- ver question, The correspondent called upon Baron von Bleischrocder, the head of the great German banking firm of S. Blelsch- roeder. ““Wo have beon surprised, principally by the unprocedentod secrecy,” he said, “with which the Indian silver law was prepared and by its taking effect immediately on pub- lication. Tho Indian logislators knew per- foctly woll that public discussion of the would have caused large quantities of silyer to flow into the Indian mints there to be coined uccording to the late law. *“The law has been felt hero in the sudden and sharp deprociation of Mexican, Italian and Amorioan railroad stocks, wiich are held in considerable quantities in this coun- try. What influence we may expect from tho now law upon sho German finances will mainly depend upon the attitude taken by the United States governmont. At any rate keen distrust of foreign securities, especially so-called oxotic stocks, such as Argentine, Portuguese, Greek and Mexican, has stead- ily grown here among investors, not alto- gether unjustly, considering that people have lost millions in them." Dr. Siemens, president of tho Deutsche Bank of Berlin, said, in an intorview with the correspondent: “The silver quostion touches German-American relations on ac- count of tho American currency bonds. Theroare fow other interests. Grain is gold. Wo buy and sell for gold. If exchange falls, prices "rise for whatwe send. The question is, how much will currency bonds depreciate? "That depends entirely upon the nature of the future law replacing the Sherman bill, If o new panic should happen, Germany will take fright and throw everything on the market, Tho Europoan public willingly bought Americans, hoping for a rise in prices, but in the' past year and a half the rise has not come. *Gold came over because Buropo had good crops and consequently wanted no American grain.

This is not a moment too'soon. “All depends upon the answer to the ques- tion, ‘What will America do? American bond prices ate so low that Burope has no interest in_sending them back provided cir- cumstances remain the same. Therefore, Eurove will send payment forgrain in gold and few goods.” A 0 in Austi VieNNA, July 2.—The Politischo Corre- spondenz says that the fall of silver will not influence unfavorably the Austro-Hungarian operations in connection with the currency reform. The Austrian and Hungarian min isters, it says, are discussing the time at which the mints shall cease purchasing sil- ver and what stops are being taken to pro- vide employment for the silver miners in Przibaum and Schemnitz after the suspen- elon of work in the mines around these places. The Neue I'reie Presse prints an fnterview on the silver question given to its London correspondent by Mr. Goschen, ex-chancellor ot the exchequer. India’s action in closing her mints to the free coinage of silver, M. Goschen said. must be regarded as tempor: and tentative. India now possesses no real standard of value. It was impossible that such a state of affairs should continue in- definitely. Everything depended in Ind! upon how the natives regarded the new measure. The natives were naturally con- servative and esteemed the rapee as almost sacred. 1f they absolutely rofused to accept the new measure the government would be compelled to withd: Ho Has o Plan, Benuiy, July 2.—The governor of the Reichsbank, in an interview today, dis- cussed the critical condition of the silver market. The countrics with large commer- clal interests, he said, might convene a con- ferenco with a view to encouraging the sub- sidiary use of silver, thus preventing a scarcity of gold. 'They might agroe to rotain silver as an exohango token similar to notes for the retail home _trade, while reserving gold for tho wholesulo ‘and international trade. Bolgium Will Tuke Action.
