I * ' * * * * * THE OMAHA DAILY BEEiLMfryPAY. JULY 3. 'SEV , CRANE ON THE CRISIS Regards the Monetary Hurry aa the Great American Boil , REASON AND REMEDY FULLY DISCUSSED Trlliulo to tlio Memory of I.nlanit Stanford There Will llo No Two HlnnilariU of Vnluo In the I'nco of Uotl. ITov. Frank Crane delivered nn eloquent riormon on "The Financial Crisis" nt the First Congregational church yesterday * morning. The prelude to the sermon was a ttlbuto to the memory of Leland Stanford , ' in which ho said ; "Americans are easy for- gotturs. Wo enter a luxurious Pullman sleeper nt Now York , nnd making but ono change , land In San Francisco In n few days. Wo rest In pleasant beds , lulled to sleep by the monotonous hum of the rolling wheels. Wo dine on the most select food in beautiful dining cars , while looking out upon the speeding landscape , and wo little realize the immense pluck and bravery and enterprise o the men to whom all of this Is duo. Ono of these men was Iceland Stanford. I am not hero to say ho was a saint nor to preach him through to heaven In a private cat , but all of his wealth cannot cancel the fact that ho was a man remarkable for his business capacity nnd his humane impulses. It is not our business to Investigate any man's soul. Of the dead wo should only speak , if possi ble , in terms of pralso , nnd I have only brought the name of this man Into the pul- ) ) lt because 1 find something about him that is most estimable. " Speaking of the financial stringency the eminent divine said. In part : Sjkult'ton of lliiril Times. "Now comes the grim specter of hard times. Ho shakes ruin from his hair. Ills eyes are like the eyes of Pauguck. Bankers are hoarding their money , merchants are sacrlileing their goods to got ready cash , clerks afraid they will lose their positions , farmers anticipating a bad market for crops , parents-dreading lest their children shall not'bo left with the means ftjr an education , and the whole social fabric trembling In ex pectancy wondering whether this is merely a temporary Hurry or the prelude to a panic. "What Is the cause of this crisis ? Wo are cla I to know that it is not in nature or prov idence. Wo are living in the most pro- ductlvo country on earth. Wo nro raising moro breadstuff aim manufacturing more np- liarcl nnd Implements than any other land. Wo have had no .famine , no pestilence , no war. Therefore the depression must soon pass away. Men are asking each other what is the cause almost us eagerly- they jire asking what is the remedy of the situa tion. To my mind hard times is the great American boll. Corruption in the body politic , as in the physical body , must gather to a head every once in a while. Bolls are a sympton of bad blood. After they gather and break wo feel better. Ono may bo apparently healthy quite a time with his blooa out of order , but by and by there are eruptions and the purhjnl matter is expelled. It is so in polities. The tyranny of the Bourbons was founded upon the He that ono man was better - tor than another , human slavery res ted upon the same rotten corner stonn ; the French revolution elution was the cure of the ono and the American rebellion the healing of the othor. Now what is the bottom trouble in the busl- . ness world } It is any unjust transaction , any false valuation. Mutual Profit n , Itomcdy. "There is but ono rnally just trade that can bo made between men and that is where both parties receive a profit. A deal in . which ono man gains at the expense of another man's loss is essentially iniquitous In the eyes of absolute right. Until the time conies when all such things shall bo ruled out of the business world there will always bo trouble. / "Tho bankers nnd others who lend money are usually the first to discern the signs'bi ; the times nnd become moro stringent In tboiri loans. The business enterprises next , fuql the shock and a commercial crisis ensues , mercantile establishments failing ono by one throughout tlio country. Eventually the whole population receives the storm and busi ness stagnation ensues. This , however , only lasts until the enterprise and faith of the people recover , which Is always rapidly in America , times begin to improve again , and the cycle of boom and panic , prosperity and failure roll on. The merest tyro in political economy must acknowledge that thibaHortm- 9 tion between stagnation and over-activity is ) extremely harmful. Why is it that such a I condition of affairs must con tinue ? It is because , not satisfied with the natural remarkable increase of wealth In this land , the pcoplo in nu ab normal haste to bo rich Join hands to force on unnatural increase. Commercial depres sion is nothing but a readjustment of values to correspond with the truth. Hard times is merely getting down to the facts again. It is the sobering off after the nation lias been on n long prolonged financial spreo. Wo may as well attempt to juggle with the laws of gravitation ns with the equally immuta ble laws of moral truth. Justice some day. or rather must always bo laid to the line aud righteousness to the plummet. It would bo a good thing If every booming city , every Hoard of Trade , every business house , oven the national congress , should have inscribed on Its onicial seal thp words , ' -Thou shall not lie. " ' Hard times teach us that It Is Important to Insist ou the ethics , of spending as well as the ethics of making-money. It is the com mon opinion that while one should bo careful about the way lie makes money ho can spend It as ho chooses. Kvorv man is under obligations to his fellows , nnd if people wcro thoroughly alive to the responsibilities that the possession of money , whether great or small , placed upon thorn they would so live that the pendulum swing of bard and flush times vould foaso and an era of continued pros perity How on. But wo iind some people who are spending their money Jn the grati- Jlcatlou of ovcry foolish whim ; they nro using their money to sntlsfy unworthy appe tites mid silly notions. This naturally loads to a doslre to live beyond one's Income. ICIniilisint I.lfii on u Mosquito Inro.mi. "To get $1,000 a year and spoua § 1,100 Is the road to ruin.

Hnuilmr , tlio Urrmnn Samson , Navr In Amoricu. Sandow , who is regarded as the strongest man in the world , is giving exhibitions in New York. Ho was born in Prussia twenty-six years ago. At an early ago ho was taken to Rome , and was 'ascinatod by the wonderful Greek statues , particularly that of Ilorcules. At the ngo of 10 ho decided that , ho would make himself as much like Hercules as possible and succeeded well. Sandow is admirable not only because ii his great strcnsrth , but because of the Tact that his extraordinary power is duo Lo cotnploto development. His deter mination has made him a great deal bettor man than nature intended him to bo , and she started out to make h con spicuously fine job of Sandow. Nothing that has over been seen in Now York can bo used as a standard of comparison to measure the wonderful young Gorman who has just come hero. Compared with Sandow , Corbett the fighter , is like a loan spring chicken beside a well muscled bulldog , and the profes sional strong men of circuses and mu seums , with their pretentious bunches of muscle , seem weak and unimpressive. Sandow can lift a , 500-pound weight with his middle 'finger. ' Ho takes in his right hand a dumb boll with an enor mous sphere at either [ end. In each of those spheres a man is ooncoalea. Ho lifts tho. dum bell mid tlo ) two menabovo his head \vith one hand. Ho can oblige any friend ho has in the world by letting the friend sit on the palm of his hand aud then lifting hinilin the air above his head as easily as the average man would lift a small sized dog. 'Ho places him self upon the floor with his chest uu- ward and supported > ! ronly by his hands and feet , his , body fcnujng a bridge. A gang plank 'is placed across his chest und three horses stand' , , upon this at one time , with no support except that which the chest offers. 'l ! > vo pf .the horses are small horses and the > , third , is not enormous ' mous , but the weight'of the smallest horse would ihoro tnaa.jSatlflfy the chest of < the ordinary jinan. „ , 'Thofman who docs vU of .these things is only 5 fe t 8 inches high and does them because ho has developed to the highest point every separate musolo in his body. Around the waist ho meas ures twenty-nine inches ; around the chest , when' ! ully expanded , he measures fifty-eight inches ; hjls waist , therefore , is not mucli bigger around than Mrs. Langtry's und his chest is a good deal bigger around than Grover Cleveland' * Grover Cleveland , Mrs. Langtry and the entire public must bo interested in such figures as these. Sandow has a method of his own to de velop the muscles. It consists in various exorcises with two dumb bolls weighing live pounds each. He declares that with these dumb bells ho has developed , not only the muscles which everybody can see on the outside of his body , but internal muscles , , which strengthen the walls of his chest , enable his heart and other msidos to endure great strains and assure him a long life. He does not take any especial care of himself in , the way of outing or , drinking. T3oor and wine are not strangers to him and to bacco is his intimate friend. Ho leaves brandy alone , however , as ho docs simi lar poisons. An interesting feature of Sandow's method of training is that ho can train very well sitting on a chair Ho can sit down and road a paper and keep his muaoles working all the while , " so that all development" 'fat is ren dered impossible and his strength is kept up to the highest pitch. In private life this young man is a very pleasiifg typo of the simple minded Gorman. His head is shaped exactly like the heads on the old statues of Her cules. TI < O forehead islo\v and. rather broad , liio 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 curllnoss is perfectly natural. Ho weighs 200 pounds and his necif is nearly twenty incites round , almost as big around us tlio head above it. It wouldn't bo a bad neck for a Biimll bull. It is a wonderful nock for any man. His face is a pleas ant face ; his eye , which is gray , shows tlio character which lias made him the man lie is and which enables him to at tempt with absolute coniidonco and calmness the various Jeats that fill his audiences with delight- and muko him rich. -n i _ The liny * thntMnkr Hlclt Men.

Tlio provisions of the net ot 1873 Itself nra too plain to have boon ml.sundor stood , and to luxvo made thorn different would have boon n marko.1 doparluro from the policy of the government as fixed by the coining not of February SI , 1853 , which de creased the quantity of motnl In the sub- Rldlary silver coins nnil limited tholr legal tender character to payments of $ , " > and loss. Hence , the net of 1873 , dropplrg the further mention of the silver dollar from the coin age of the United States , expressly contlnos thoUaoof nil sllvorcolnsof the United States to payments not exceeding $5 in amount l > oolnrttlon of the Aot of 1874. "The not of .tuno 22 , 1874 was strictly In consonance with that of 1873. It had boon our previous policy since the foundation of the government to make foreign coins of both gold and silver receivable for public rtuca , nnd also ns between Individuals. The valtii s llxod by law for many of these coins , especially those of silver , vvoro already be yond their Intrinsic worth , nnd silver gave signs of Increase ; hence the net of 187J do- jlared : "I'lrst That nil foreign coins should cease to bo n legal tender. "Hocoml That the uold coins of the United Mutes , when not roitucod below the wolnlit of tolerance , should bu n legal toiulor for nil doht.S. Third That the silver coins of the United Hates ( Including , of course , tlio silver dollar ) shall bo legal toiulur at thulr noniinnl vuluo for any amount not exceeding tS ; nnd , " 1'ourth That the minor coins ( the nlclcols nnd copper ctmtsslmll ) bo a legal tender for only 26 cents. "It was obvious to the least discerning financiers of the country that the act of 1878 would eventually bring about , not a double standard , as pretended by the friends of sllyor , but n single standard of depreciated silver. Hence , from the beginning these dollars were received with great Siistrust. 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 nnd Philadelphia adopted rules forbidding the use of those dollars nnd also thosllvorcertlll- catcs in clearing balances among themselves. Disciplined by Cnnsrois. "It really seems that when both debtor nnd creditor agree not to use a currency thought to bo Injurious to the public wel fare , they should bo allowed to reject it In their own transactions wlttiout the fear of punishment. The national banks , however , hold their charters from the frovornuicnt and the discipline of congress was soon brought to bear. It was decreed that no national bank should belong to n clearing house that refused silver cortltlcatos in payment of balances. When bank char ters had to bo renewed , the renewal waa conditioned upon the receipt and circulation of n currency already bad nnd getting worse day by day. The government now entered the Held as n common carrier and trans ported , without charge , this unacceptable currency to iiny part of the country that would deposit gold for It In the subtreasur- les. Thus , the government sowed the wind and now , by the jusMnwof rctrlbutionroips the whirlwind. The public demands that gold bade and the government must pay it or embark at once on the treacherous sea of depreciated currency. "When pains and penalties fulled to coerce the banks , the persuasion of self interest was resorted to and they were offered the bribe trmt silver certiticntes received by them might bo counted in their bank re serves. Finally , when the banks remained obdurnto against threats and seductions , It was thought the general public might sur render to the temptation of small notes and to that end , in 1SSO , it was enacted that the secretary of the treasury should thereafter issue silver ccrtiHcatcs in denominations of 81 , S'3 nnd S3 and the larger certificates already issued under the act of 1878 might be exchanged for the smaller denominations. JHIUCS or Silver Certificates. "If greater expansion of the currency were really required by the legitimate demands of business , it might have neon secured , it seems to mo , by Inducing nil increase of the national bank notes , a currency secured by United States bonds , payable in gold and always worth a premium. Instead of this the contrary policy was most persistently pursued , resulting in a decrease of specie paying bank notes from 5358,000,000 In 1883 to ? 173,0l)0,000 ) In 1893. While this better cur rency was being driven out by unfriendly legislation the channels of business were being gorged by an issue of § 410.000.000 , § 335,000.000 of silver certificates , and finally , under the act of 1800 , by the issue of $154- 000,000 more of these notes in the purchase of silver bullion at an enormous loss to the people and to the aovcrnmont. "Of the $5,000,000 , or $0,000,000 In gold with which wo began in 1S78 , none can bo found in circulation. What hns not cone to foreign countries enjoying the blessing of a single standard , has been hoarded , not to reappear until its owners have seine guaranty that , if loaned , it will bo returned in money equally good. The gold certificates , not already forced upon the government , for redemption of which the 100.000,000 gold reserve is sup posed to bo held by the government , consti tutes the best security of the national banks aiut hence the greenback is rapidly disap pearing. The national bank notes are neces sarily hold if possible by the banks issuing them , in fear that in the extremity of dis tress their redemption may soon bo asked in gold. Nothing is loft but silver certificates and treasury notes. The banks are unable to maintain their lawful reserves. Hence , they can give no relief to a suffering commu nity. Doplutoil or ItH Surplus. " "Thegovernment treasury is depleted of its surplus. Government expenditures exceed gold receipts. Extravagant appropriations made upon a silver basis must now bo paid in a medium of vuluo. The heedless promise to pay lius now run Its brief course and per formance comes with suffering andtears. "What now is the remedy ! "First The customs duties should here after bo paid in gold nlono. "Second Tlio silver bullion in the govern ment vaults should at once ba sold for casn in gold and the proceeds covered into the treasury. 1 "Third Three per cent gold bonds to the amount of 303,000,000 should bo promptly sold and the proceeds transferred to the treasury. ' Fourth A dav should bo fixed , not later than Jatiunry 1.1S)3 ! ) , for the redemption and payment In gold coin of all circulating notes of every description horotofoio issued by the government. ' Fifth At least half of the surer dollar * issued under the nets of 1878 and 18SI5 should bo sold as bullion and the remainder minted in subsidiary silver coins and made legal tender only in payment of $10 or loss. "Sixth Provision should ba made for the use of 300,000,000 gold bonds as the basis for banking , making the provisions ns liberal us possible consistent with safety , but under government supervision. ' Seventh The basis of national banking should ba HO enlarged as to permit the issue of circulating notes on the deposit of other than United States bonds , the solvency of sucli bonds to bo passed on by responsible government officials. "Eighth All bank issues to bo redeemed In gold coin on demand. "Ninth All foreign gold coins should bo made a legal tender for debt and receivable for government duos at their valua as fixed by law.

It was con ceived In error and every stop in it increased the departure from truth. The act of 1878 was dishonorable to tUo government mid ruluous to the people , The act of 1890 wan a mere device to substitute silver for gold us a standard of value.

The World's Berlin cnblosnys : The absorbing topic of thodny , overshadowing oven the urmy bill , Is the sil ver question. The correspondent called upon Baron von BloischroeJor , the head of the great Gorman banking firm of S. Blolsch- roedor. 'Wo have bpon surprised , principally by the unprecedented secrecy , " ho said , "with which the Indian silver law was prepared nnd by Its taking effect Immediately on pub lication. The Indian legislators know per fectly well that public discussion of the law nould have caused largo quantities of silver to flow Into the Indian mints there to bo coined according to thp Into law. "Tho law has boon felt hero In the sudden nnd sharp depreciation of Mexican , Italian nnd American railroad stocks , which nro hold In considerable quantities In this coun try. What Influence wo may expect from the now law upon Iho Gorman finances will mainly depend upon the attitude taken by the United States government. At auy rate keen distrust of foreign securities , especially so-called exotic stocks , such as Argentine , Portuguese , Greek nnd Mexican , has stead ily grown here among Investors , not alto gether unjustly , considering that pcoplo have lost millions In them.

Thcroaro fowothcr interests. Grain Is gold. Wo buy and sell for gold. If exchange falls , prices rlso for what wo 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 n now panic should happen , Germany will take fright and throw everything on the market. The European public willingly bought Americans , hoping for a rlso in prices , but in the past year and n half the rlso has not come. "Gold came over because Europe had good crops and consequently wnntcd no American grain. This year all is ulffcrcnt. Europe has had bad crops , except liussln , nnd oven Russian grain exports to Germany have gene down much. Turkish and American grain has taken its place. Wo had a good crop whou Russia had n good crop nnd wo needed no American grain. It is different this year. Wo shall import far more from America than from Russia and shall send gold for it. This should greatly facilitate the repeal of the Sherman law. Congress has been called to meet on August 7 , to consider this subject. This is not a moment too soon. "AH depends upon tno answer to the ques tion. 'What will America do ? " American bond prices nro so low that Europe has no interest in sending them back provided cir cumstances remain the same.
