I 1 * • < " • • I I THE "PANIC" BLUFF. I ' , . NATIONAL BANK MEN QUICKLY I BROUGHT TO THEIR SENSES. I Protnotion Necessary to Successful Dank I < Management Losse * to Financial In- I iitltiitlong Under Uomocracf Iloir I ' New York Banks Have SalTerod. 1 W fji I i We believe that the threat which has I , been used by certain politicians and H free-trade papers to create a financial H " panic , for the purpose of defeating the , nomination of Mr. McKinley , has been H taken with too much uneasiness. No 9 doubt the threat was made in the heat H of anger and disappointment. But H when its effect is analyzed it appears H ridiculous. H In the first place it must be remem- H bered that all this talk against Mr. H McKinley originates , and exists , only H I in the columns of a few free-trade H " ' newspapers and in the minds of a hand- H ful of disgruntled republicans. The H latter will recover , so we need not wor- H ry further about them. As to the free- H trade papers , it is well known that they H are simply trying to divert attention H • -from the ignominious muddle that ex- H , ists in their own party. Therein they 1 have been successful. It is only nec- H " essary to turn back to the files of these H very papers of 1S92 to refresh our mem- M ories upon all the wonderful good fl things they promised the people in the fl ( event of the election of a complete M Democratic administration. M * . Then their fight was for the repeal M of the McKinley tariff , concerning m which they printed falsehood after H | falsehood. They promised cheaper m I goods , more work , higher wages and H lower taxes. These alluring baits car- H ried the people. The authority asked H for was given to the Democratic party. B The McKinley tariff was repealed and H the Wilson monstrosity has reigned in H its stead. But with what results ? It H is true that the prices of farm products H have been cheapened , but there has H been , less work for the people , lower H wages and higher taxes. The national H revenue has been in sore straits as H 1 well as the revenue of the individual. H The very character of the tariff bill H passed by the Democrats differed so H widely from the kind of measure that H 1 had been promised that it was stigma- H tized as "party perfidy and party disH - H honor" by the Democratic president H and"as a "rag-bag production" by the H Democratic senator , Mr. Hill , of New H York state. The Democratic free-trade H press dare not face a discussion of the H tariff question , so it is now occupied H in reviling the most prominent candi- H date for the Republican presidential Hf nomination because it knows that his H election will eradicate every free-trade f idea from the country during the pres- ent generation. i The Democratic threat to create a , _ financial panic is a deliberate act of H cowardice. That it was ever seriously H sustained by one solitary bank president - H -dent , be he Republican or Democrat , | B we can hardly credit. Who would be H the greatest sufferers by a financial Bj panic ? The bankers themselves. Bank H presidents are merely salaried officers H -appointed to manage a bank's finances. H These finances consist of the money of H the stockholders and depositors. An at- H E tempt to create a panic would be a de- H liberate mismanagement of the trust H reposed in a president and it would H very speedily result in his dismissal. H Uo bank president would ever be per- H mitted , by a majority of his board of H -directors , to play ducks and drakes H with their money or with that of the H -depositors. It would be a criminal act , H ' meriting the severest punishment , and H any Democratic paper that lends itself H thereto is particeps criminis , and mor- H ally , if not legally , guilty H If bank presidents , bank directors B and bank stockholders will carefully B consider the condition of their banks B when the McKinley tariff was in force , H and compare it with their business to- H day , we have no hesitation in saying H 'that the unanimous verdict will be that H a restoration of the McKinley era of H prosperity is very much to be desired. B The financial situation calls upon B bankers to support the nomination of B Mr. McKinley , not to allow spleen and " * H I bad judgment to control , their more H j mature business judgment. Bankers H J Tiave large sums of money to lend , not B \ to keep idle , and they know that they H I -now have a plethora of idle money for H which there is no demand. In 1892 , H -on September 30 , the national banks of H ' the United States had $2,153,498,829 of H I money out on loan and discount that H -was earning interest. This year , on H February 28 , their loans and discounts H amounted only to $1,951,344,782 , or H $200,000,000 less than in the McKinley B I tariff year. The earnings and profits B of the national banks cannot be as sat- H isfactory as they were in 1892 , and M they are even less satisfactory to-day M than they were last February. Why ? | Because manufacturers are borrowers , H and more of our industries are idle ow- H ing to the Democratic tariff. M In 1892. on September 30 , before the H -election of a complete Democratic ad- B ministration , the amount of money on M -deposit in the national banks of the H United States was $2,022,500,000. This H year , on February 28 , it was only H $ l' ,648,092S69 , or $375,000,000 less than H in the McKinley tariff year. With so H much less money at their disposal the H national banks have not the opportun- H ity for earning or transacting such a f1 tC - * l - - HH V , . . . , T , , .Mi i ii i ' * - 'I ' " ' " • " " ' profitable business as c'ney possessed In 1892. Then money was in demand. Why ? Because our Industries were in active operation" on account of the Mc Kinley tariff. During the first four months of 1892 the volume of business transacted throughout the United States , as represented by bank clear ings , amounted to $20,933,879S40. Dur ing the first four months of the pres ent year it aggregated only $17,059,514 , - 662 , a loss of $3,874,653,178 of business In only one-third of the year. This is a most serious matter. And why does this condition exist ? Because of the free-trade tariff , which has lessened our industrial production , has de creased the earnings of our people and , consequently , has diminished our power of consumption. In 1892 , on March 1 , the net earn ings of all the national banks in the United States amounted to $34,363,000. On September 1 of 1895 the half year's earnings had been only $23,498,671 , al most $11,000,000 less than in 1892. Does this look as if McKInleyism had been a bad thing for the bankers ? In 1892 the ratio of earnings to capital and surplus were 3.78 per cent. Last year it was only 2.57 per cent , a drop of 1.21 per cent under Wilsonism. Now let us put these figures briefly together for the sober reflection of those who were reported as threatening to create a financial panic. Let them decide whether McKinleyism was such a bad thing for the stockholders whose money they use and care for , and whose serv ants they are : BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY.

It seems idle to give a moment's con sideration to the idea that any reputa ble financiers contemplate the creation of a financial panic for the purpose of "downing" Mr. McKinley when they know that their best business interests desire , and need , his election and a res toration of McKinleyism. In the foregoing review we have made no reference to the amount of losses of national banks through the unprecedented number of large manu facturing failures that have lately oc curred because of the operation of the Democratic tariff. It is an open secret that the banks of New York , during the last three years.have written off to profit and loss no less a sum than $2,000,000 of loans to concerns that have failed , and from which they never expect to realize one solitary cent. More McKinleyism is needed by the banks of the country , not less. Mr. J. Edward Simmons , president of the Fourth National bank of New York , one of the strongest Democrats in the Empire City , has stated the case concisely in the Herald , May 30 : "Panic ? We have been so deep in a hole for three years that things can't get.any lower. " The "panic" scare , has simply been a big Democratic bluff to defeat the nomination of the strongest protection candidate for the presidency , and the bluff has failed.

S adUut V ROTHER-BOY" Is building blocks As his mamma sits • and rocks By the fire , and dreams. Block by block his castle , fast Baby builds , until at last , Quite complete in seems. Then , a sudden little jar , All his happiness to mar , Towers in waste are lain. Little eyes with tears are blind ; Then he brightens ; "Never mind , I will build again. " Teaching lessons with your blocks , As your mamma sits and rocks , By the fire , and dreams. Mamma builds her castles , too , Quite as eagerly as you , Builds them strong , she dreams. But they often fall away , Like the castles of your play , Efforts all in vain. Would I had your spirit , dear , As I check the falling tear , Glad to build again. Across the Way. ( By George Haddon Rowles. ) He had big , blue eyes and yellow curls , and his laugh rang clear and sweet. His cheeks were roses , his teeth were pearls , as I saw him across the street Lightsome and glad in his noisy glee , surely the pride of some heart was he ; But oh , so often there came the sound of a voice whose threatening tones Silenced the laugh that echoed around , and then there were blows and moans , And a pitiful face at the pane would rise with tears all flooding the big blue eyes. My lone heart bled for the little one ; but soon there came a day When I heard no laugh or cruel tone in the cottage across the way. And the blinds were drawn , and it seemed to me as quiet as any would have it be. There came a little white hearse next day , and halted before the door , And the voice was soft , as they drove away , I had heard so tiarsh be fore. And the heart was sore and the grief was wild , as she wailed and wept for her little child. To a sorrowing soul and a heart so lone , In the cottage across the way , The noisy laugh of that little one In the silence would sound so sweet. And Oh , the anguish and endless woe , For the many a tear and cruel blow. A Small IJoy'a Essay. Boys don't like to study , and they act up in school. Boys are brighter than most girls. All our great poets are boys , and all our presidents were boys. Boys work harder than girls , and peoj pie could not live very well without men. They plow , do chores , and work all over the farm. The boys like to go fishing and swimming. People used to think that girls did not need to be educated , and most of our great men did not have much education. They amused themselves in winter by building - ing forts and snow balling , and some times they would have a battle be tween two schools , and the school that won would build a monument and make the others help. Then , boys help in the harvesting in the summer time , and they hunt squirrels in summer. In winter , they hunt minks and skunks for their hide. I cannot think of any more. CouTdn't Save Him. Not seldom does it happen that un selfish thought for others brings joy and safety to ourselves. Such was the case in a panic recently , vhich took place in a large public building when some unthinking person raised the cry of fire. Amidst the confusion and terror a lad sat quietly in his place , with a smaller child in his arms. When the danger was passed , he was asked : "Why did you not try to escape like the others ? " And the beautiful answer came : "I couldn't carry baby through the crowd , and I couldn't leave him he's my brother. " Good and EsiL Two forces are working in the uni verse. One is creative , and one is de structive. While the planets were as sembling in their stately order , disin tegration and decay were already at work , and ever since , there has been ; going on a ceaseless struggle between ; the power that builds up and the pow er which destroys. The flower or the tree , or the glacier or the mountain no sooner comes into its mature beauty ; and erandeur , than its bloom fades or its leaf withers , or its crystals melt , or its rocky summits ore worn , away by the silent chisels of time. It is ap- f - v.- , _ J ' _ J , , , \ . . _ _ _ < * _ _ * A. _ " " " " " ' " ' i • > parent , also , that these agencitu of waste and destruction not only war against the agencies of gcod , but they prey upon them , and derive their very life from the fruits of decay and disso lution. For example , the tree gives its ah de and sap to the moss and fungus "Which feed at its roots. The flower gives ' its pollen to the insect which stings it , the ocean ship gives free passage to the barnacles that eat out its bottom. Nature is everywhere hindered by forces and things which seem always to be making for ruin and loss. A parallel is wound in human life. Everywhere two forces are work ing for the conquest of the soul. It would be correct to describe them as the force of good and of e\il , but the latter does not always appear in the form of overt sin. and is therefore not always recognized as evil. But any thing Is evil which is not always mak ing for good , which is not creative , constructive and contributive to wealth , health or happiness. Therefore , the greatest sinner may not be the one who by self-indulgence destroys his own soul , but raiher he who by reason of his sloth , contributes nothing to the social weal. One can be a millioraire and yet be a parasite if he takes from his neighbors the blessings which civ ilization bestows , and * ; ives nothing of his life in return. Hi3 debt to so ciety cannot be paid in taxes , but in service for * his fellow-men , and If he denies them this , he is a parasite , and must take rank with that universal race which lives not to build up , butte to destroy. Greed Brought Disaster. A bird of prey as tall as a man ! Such is the prize just captured by the super intendent of Richard Gird's ranch in the hills south of Chino , San Bernardino dine county. The prisoner is a magnifi cent specimen of the California vulture , without doubt the largest ever taken- captive. From the crown of its fero cious looking , red-wattled head to its strong , scally talons it measures six feet. Its plucky captor is an inch or two shorter in his cowhide boots. The man has the advantage in weight , for the bird weighs 100 pounds. Still , that is a fair fighting weight to carry through the rarefied upper air. In or der to accomplish this feat'the vulture is provided with wings that have a spread of twelve feet. Withal , the or nithologists who have seen it say that it is merely a youngster. Apart from the red wattles already alluded to , the bird's head conveys the idea of a very bald old man of miserly instincts. The back and upper part of the wings are gray and the tail and larger wing feathers are a glossy black. The legs and feet are of a reddish hue. Alto gether Mr. Gird's pet is a formidable looking customer. Partly for this reason , partly because of his red poll , partly because of his light weight in contrast to his extreme height and strength and partly because he shows a vicious inclination to deal knockout blows to whoever approaches him , Mr. Gird ' proposes to match him against any captive wild bird living. If the match were an eating contest Mr. Gird would probably be on the safe side. Allured by the palatable flavor of a dead cow , the bird devoured nearly every particle of flesh from its bones , which so op pressed him that , however vigorously he flapped his wings , he was unable to soar away to his eyrie among dis tant mountain fastnesses. In this hu- militating predicament he was lassoed and dragged , fluttering ponderously but helplessly , to Mr. Gird's stable. His mood just at present is a trifle morose , as might be expected under the cir cumstances , but Mr. Gird hopes to con vert the bird into an affectionate and interesting j household pet. Even in the bird's present untutored condition his owner declares that he would not take $1,000 j for him. Mr. Gird probably does not exaggerate the value of his acqui sition. i The California vulture is very nearly extinct , owing to the traps laid for birds of prey by settlers. Chino Dispatch to San Francisco Examiner. Ignoble Uves. Human parasites are found every where. In the guise of politics , they are seen in those who are all things to all men if by any means but by work , they may win office ; in the guise of religion , they appear in those who fancy that in phylactery and surplice they can perform their entire service to men ; they are found in society among those who neither toil nor spin , but wear away time in social pleasures , alternating with evening teas , tennis and tally hoes. Such a group is well pictured by our artist on page one. In their wild and reckless career , little thought or care have they that the wheels of their juggernaut crush out every holy aspiration and every better longing that surges in the heart. To such people , home ties , love and innocence - cence are of small worth compared with fashion , gaiety and dissipation , Let it be the ambition , then , of every creature who bears the image of God , to take rank with the forces that build up and eonserve character , rather than with those that , through selfish ease or indifference , allow character to decay.

J They Make rhllosophors , Philanthropists , ' 1 Toots , IVar and Peace. "The scriptures say wo must all bo born again , " observed the philosopher as he ladled out his table d'hote soup , relates the New York Herald. "fhat'3 " "but where right , I replied , did you find it ? ' ' "I take it on hearsay evidence. But what I want to say is that If I am to bo born again and have anything more to do with It than I had .the last time I would be born a cook. " " "A cook ! " I looked into the fathom less eyes of one reputed the best writer in New York. "Yes , sir , a cook. I have lived near ly sixty years , traveled much studied more produced something. I've seen men and women struggling among themselves for existence for a little thing we call reputation and for money. They make a few friends by the wayside , do a little dab of good here and there , die and are forgotten. Upon the hypothesis that we are all placed on earth for a purpose and that purpose is the happiness and better ment of our fellow creatures , I ask myself how best can a man live and labor to accomplish the chief end of existence ? Is it by robbing tens of thousands and distributing alms to the few ? Is it by healing the sick and feeding the poor ? Is it by writing enchanting verses or by fulminating philosophical prose ? "My dear boy , I have concluded that a cook has a greater influence on man kind for good or evil than the greatest of the so-called learned professors. The cook makes and unmakes great men , as she or he happens to be good or bad. I am simply the product of the cook. Whatever I have produced the cook is largely responsible for. Bad cookery has made great poets as well as bad husbands and murders- through indigestion. Byron , SJielley , Keats , Poe indigestion. Caesar , Han nibal , Napoleon all the bloody con querors of earth indigestion. The physical system the stomach that boiler and engine room that furnishes the motive power for the mechanism of the brain , has for its fireman and engineer the cook. Cooks murder more persons every year than ever fell in a single battle ; maim more in the same time than were ever wounded in the greatest Avar. Cooks make war pos sible. "But , on the other hand , cooks have wrought both physical beauty and mental greatness. They have subtly inspired strength of character and goodness of heart. If they have cre ated the cynic and the miser they must be credited with the philosopher and the philanthropist. If they are direct ly responsible for bloody wars they have also inclined men's hearts to peace and good will. Even their er rors , as I have said , have made men great , especially in poetry and war.

Old Clock Wh h Can Hold Its Own Tvlth a M d ra Timepiece. J. C. McCoy of St. Louis is in posses sion of a remarkable clock that has an interesting history , says the Boston Advertiser. It was made in 1810. The aged horologe was originally the time piece of the old Territorial bank of St. Louis , which was chartered in 1815 and was the first bank west of the Mis sissippi river. At the close of that in stitution the clock passed into the possession of the Bank of Missouri in 1818. When that establishment col lapsed in 1822 the clock became the property of the bank's president , Col. T. F. Riddick. After his death in 1831 timepiece for his son-in- it served as a - - law , the late C. T. Billon. From him it went to his brother , F. L. Billon. It was kept by him over thirty years , and his death , some months ago , led up tea a condition which has forced the family to think of selling it. During the long period which the venerable clock has spent in Missouri it has been kept con stantly running with little if , any repairs - - pairs , except an occasional cleaning , and records time with excellent ac curacy. It is what was originally known as a "Willard timepiece , " being named after the patentee and manu facturer of that style of clocks in Con necticut. The clock is made in the fashion of colonial timepieces , the pen \ dulum swinging in a square box which is suspended from the dial. That portion tion of the clock which protects the i shaft ; and pendulum bears painted ( scenes : , one of which is a mediaeval j castle. , ( i A Slnsnlar Accident.
