DI.IITtHl AND CIIKIHTOH
In the course of the financial discus
sion In tlio house of representatives
Tuesday the declaration was made by an
advocate of the free coinage of silver
that "tho present fight was between the
debtor and creditor classes. " This is a
favorite assertion with the people who
advocate a policy thnt would lead the
country to a debased currency , and unfortunately -
fortunately it is accepted as sound by
millions of thoughtless or prejudiced
persons who either cannot or will not
see how fallacious it is. If the people
who make this assertion were asked to
deflnoand separate the creditor classoJ
they would find it impossible to dose
so in n way that would stand Investi
gation , for the obvious reason that atone
ono time or another nearly everybody is
both creditor and debtor. Of course ,
those who endeavor to create antag
onistic classes of those who ewe money
and those to whom money is owed will
say that the bankers belong exclusively
to the creditor class. But is this true ?
Bankers do not loan their own money ,
except to a very limited extent. They
handle the money of other people depos
ited with them. For every dollar thus
placed nt the disposal of a banker by a
manufacturer , a merchant , a wage
earner , or whoever ulso , bo becomes n
debtor , and in this way the bankers ol
the country ewe now hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to their creditors ,
the depositors. Those funds are loaned
out on various forms of security and the
borrowers become indebted not ir
reality to the bankers , but to the poopk
who supplied the money to the banks tt
bo thus made use of , so that , by way o
illustration , the farmer or the wage
earner who borrows a few hundred dollars
lars to improve his farm or his IIOUM
may hnvo as his ultimate creditor an
other farmer or wage earner. The
banker does not make his money bi
loaning his own capital altogether , bu
from commissions in the form of intorcst
which he obtains for bundling the capi
tal of others. Ho is a creditor only to i
very limited extent , while ho is a debto
to a very largo extent.
How is It with the manufacturer am
merchant ? As a rule they are alway
debtors. There are comparatively fev
great industrial and mercantile estab
llshments in the country that are no
constant borrowers of money. They ar
compelled t8 give credit in order to d
business , carrying from tens of thou
sands to hundreds of thousands on thoi
books. They are enabled to do this b
becoming themselves debtors. Th
agricultural producer is a creditor who
he consigns his products to market an
does not at once receive in exchange for i
cash or its equivalent. The wage earns
is a creditor of his employer until th
labor ho has 7'ondored is paid for at th
end of the day , or week , or montl
when by arrangement ho shall recoiv
his wage.
Obviously the vast majority of th
people in this country are both debtor
and creditors , BO that to attempt to SOT
arato them into antagonistic classes i
manifestly an impossible task. Thos
people who are best entitled to bo callo
creditors are not the rich men who av
engaged in banking , in manufucturin
and in trade , but tha .minions of worl
ing people whoio smull savings aggn
gate aii.ono'rmous sum invested in var
"oils" ways , and those -would suitor in
measurable injury from a debased cu
roncy , while the only class that coul
bo benefited are the comparative ]
small number of debtors who ewe mot
than is owing to them , and oven th
class of debtors would bo benefited on ]
in respect to their old debts. It is tin
that men who assume to .have some i ;
tolligcnco nnd discrimination droppi
this fallacy about debtor and croditi
classes , so far as this country is coi
corned. They do not exist lioro as di
tinct elements of the population , or i
any rate not in suck numbers us to mat
it necessary to consider them in conne
tion with a financial policy in violatii
the interests of the great body of tl
people and the prosperity and wolfa ;
of tlio country.
OMAHA 7JOAWS ;
The city council has authorized tl
city treasurer to dispose of any unso
bonda which may remain on his bun
at private sale in sums of not loss tin
8100 at par with accrued interest. Tl :
0 means that the city in to resort direct
to tlio people who wish to invest In go
Interest bearing bccurltios without t
intervention of bond brokers , who u
ca refill to charge commissions for t
services which they render in placii
loans for their patrons. It also moa
that the bonds are to bo issued In sin
to unit the biuall investor. Under su
favorable conditions the entlro iss
e ought to bo speedily takon.
No ono win say with exactness hi
niuoli money lias boon withdrawn fr (
our Havings banks nnd ether inhtitutic
of deposit or withhold from deposit
these institutions. But all who arc
all conversant with the local situati
are convinced that largo sums of mon
are being hoarded In our midst sini )
by reason of unfounded luck of contidoi
in the banks and bunkers. This mon
when on dopotit was drawing rognlai
a certain interest ; it now lies idle , i
creasing the amount of money in cln
hition and upholding the flnunc
stringency. There is no bolter way
bringing it back into the stream
trade and commerce than by invest !
it in Omaha bondB , Luck of confide !
hue no place hero , Tlieso securities i
guaranteed by the city of Omaha , wh :

ud botnblo the latter in many respects ,
of excel thorn in the financial backing

the proceeds are to bo invustod rU'ht
hero In our midst to give employment to
the idle laborers , which in turn will
have Us effect in reviving business , and
the argument for investing in those
bonds is complete.
No ono is asked to buy the securities
now offered out of moro charity. They
are investments which ire desirable
from n purely business standpoint. They
offer a safe channel by which the money
withdrawn from the banks may bo
returned to them , and the fact that such
investments involve with them the pro
motion of public Improvements nnd the
relief of the unemployed ought to com
mend them to the sound judgment of
every ono wl'io has the money at hand.

The fuller reports of the terms of the
Paris decision reveal still moro strongly
the advantages it gives to the United
States , and there can bo little supriso
that the Englishmen returned to London
sorrowful and silent. Confining the
pclupic sealer to the use of a sailing nnd
an undecked vessel an open boat or
canoe nnd depriving him of the use of
nets and explosives , restricting him
practically to the spear , as In earlier
times , makes his calling extremely pre
carious and its profits more than un
certain. The trouble lias boon caused
by steam vessels , fitted up for cruises of
weeks and months , and by the use of
nets nnd firearms , while there has
been no "close season" at all. The
pelagic sealer cannot now venture
very far from there , nor can ho remain
long at sea. Ills trade has boon de
stroyed , for when its profits no longer
pay for the risk and exposure involved ,
there will bo little desire to engage it
it. The enterprise and hardihood ol
the thrifty Canadians will heroaflei
seek other channels.
The question of damages to bo paid
for illegal sci/.urcs of sealing vessels
hitherto made need alarm nobody. The
damages cannot bo mucli , in view of tin
award of the tribunal , stamping tin
pelagic scaling business as itdooswltl
the stigma of reproach. In any event
it must bo remembered that the Unitei
States long ago agreed to pay a lumj
sum for thebo seizures if only England
would agree to regulations for the pro
tcctiori of the seal. This will bo fount
inMr. . Blaino's letters to Sir Julini
Pauncofoto. The moro the Paris aware
is studied the more substantial and im
portuuo appears the success of tin
United States in securing the protoc
tiou of an important industry. No won
der Sir John Thompson , representing hi
Canadian constituents , dissented from tin
finding , which is , as Mr. Justice Harhn
appropriately states , far in advance o
anything the United States has hereto
fore demanded.

It cannot bo said that the outlook n
Washington is altogether encouraging
There still appears to/-bo good reaso :
to believe that the bill to repeal th
silver purchase clause of the net of 180
will pass the house unconditionally , bu
the prospect for such u'monBurogottin ,
through the senate has not improvcc
which amounts to , saying 'thai * it j
decidedly ! , unpromising. Thq advocate
of the free coinage of silver in the senat
do not show any disposition to yiol
anything nnd from the nature of tlici
declarations very little in the way of
concession can be expected from then
They manifest a more obstinate spiri
than the free silver men in the house
-with pochaps n few exceptions , and th
moro they consider the subject the mor
stubbornly determined they seem to bo t
adhere to the position that there sha !
be no legislation regarding silver whic
does not 'give that metal as favorubl
recognition as it is now roecivhif
There appears to bo small probability <
making any such arrangement in th
senate as tboro is in the house , limitin
debate to two weeks and then proceei
ing to vote , nnd it is doubtless sufo 1
say that no such arrangement will I
made.
On the whole , the situation is qxiil
as complicated today as it was at the b
ginning of the session , and , as observe
in one of the dispatches , no man is wit
enough to see u clear way out of tl
dilemma. The proposed compromise <
an increase in tlio ratio between go ]
and silver , which carries with it tl
free coinage of silver , appears to 1
generally regarded with disfavor by tl
anti-silver men , and it is reported tin
a measure of this kind would 1
vetoed by the president. If that 1
bo all olTort in behalf of such
compromise is necessarily futile. Tl
silver mon are very active , not only
Washington , but elsewhere , and it
not apparent that they are losii
strength anywhere. The pre-cneo :
vv.n Mr. Cleveland at the seat of govornmo
.n just now might have a good otTcct , b
ISn there are urgent reasons presumably
n a domestic character keeping hi
vtn away , so that the anti-silver men cann

> y public is not permitted to know wi
iyo the principal reason which , it is undc

THE last roporjt , l ) the Minnesota State
Board of Corrections and Charities , just
published , recommends to the legisla
ture the adoption of n system of regis
tering the paupers and criminals , the
Insane and foublo minded and depend
ents of all classes who como upon tho'
charitable institutions of that state.
This subject has boon discussed time
and time again and the merits of the
plan nro scarcely open lo further objec
tion. The advantages lo bo derived from
such registration are fourfold in their
character. First , It supplies n source of
Information absolutely necessary for any
wise and well directed application of
public relief. If the people are over to bo
relieved ol the. unnecessary burdens
caused by impostors some means of de
tecting frauds must bo had , as also some
way of Bottling disputes concern
ing the residence of the pau
pers and dependants. Secondly ,
the board thinks the registration recom
mended would result in saving great ex
pense to the taxpayers of the state by
enabling it to correct abuses now being
practiced upon the local authorities. A
third advantage would be the value of
such a register for indicating the solu
tion of many controverted points con
cerning the immigration into the stato.
It would tend to show whether the bur
den of immigrant dependents was
greater than the bcnotlts which are
traceable to their incoming. Finally ,
such registration would furnish the ma
terial for an intelligent study ol
the causes and preventives of pauper
ism and crime. Competent observers
are said to believe thnt many of the burdens -
dons now bor.no by society are due tc
the defective methods and vicious
systems of , dealing with depend
ents and delinquents and that bj
the adoption of efficient methods
the future development of paupers and
criminals may bo arrested in no small
degree. While the Minnesota board cat-
make its recommendations for one state
only , the same arguments apply equallj
in other places , and , with a much grentoi
force for the whokiUnited States. I :
wo could have a national registration ol
delinquents and < ! clbpendonts the diffi
culties experienced - by the diffcrcnl
stuto and city oiHcjlaJs would be largcl'j
diminished. The , professional paupet
would bo cut. oil 'and each community
compelled to aofrayiVtho expenses of its
own dependents. An registration of thii
kind for the wholo'TJnited States maj
possibly bo attaindd'in the moro distan
future , but it must'bd ' on the foundatioi
of state registration. State registratioi
must bo thpaim oj pr'psent ' reformers.
