question for debate was: "Re

we get it straight
of the members of

that Hen Fuller is one of

Hen took (lie stand he was
evidently not fully posted on
the meaning of the words

he thought he was perfectly
so, and with a burst of elo
quence he lead off in tbeaflir

argument and sledge ham

an unusual umount of fan

10 treat with contempt the
protests that are constantly
made by thoughtful men in
behalf of the interests of the
debtor class. Tt.e idea seems
to be that the debtor class in
not so worthy of consider
ation as the creditor class,
and an argument in behalf
o f the former appears to
strike a great many sujerfl
cial minds as an appeal in
behalf of paupers, or at the
very least, in behalf of those
who are trying to evade the
consequences of their own
lack of judgment.
Put, in this vigorous and
growing nature of ours the
debtor class comprises all
the eneigies and activities
thut, up to a lew years ago,
gave vitality to the indus
trial development of the re
public, and all tlie enterprise
that has marked the progress
of the country. The rail
ways of the republic, the
greatest factors in our com
mercial growth, are debtors
to a vast uinount, and the
same may be said of every
important undertakings be
found in the whole country.
When, therefore, the Conpti
tution' protests against a fi
nancial policy that has dou
bled the value of every mort
gage and bond.it is not raak
ing an appeal in behalf of In
dividuals, hut in behalf of the
forces that have built and
are building up the indus
tries of the country, and de
veloping the commercial and
business industries of the
country.
The process by which the
liabilities of the debtor class
have been doubled is well
known. It is as simple as
subtraction and addition.
We have descrioed it over
and over again. Theirdebts
ire on a gold basis, and as
h? value of gold, measured
by falling prices, mcrea-sea
with it.. The money in which
I he interest on debts is puid
will purchase twice the a
mount of commodities thai,
it would buy twenty years
ago. In thecase of railroads
and productive industries,
their earning capacities have
been cut down nearly one
half, for their earnings are
inexorably measured by the
price that their stnp'e freight
will fetch in the market. Oth
erwise there is an end to pro
duction and business.
Hereafter, therefore, when
the 'Constitution' protests
against the injustice with
which the single gold stand
ard presses on debtors, it
must be understood at speak
i2 in behalf of the most po
tential agents of our busi
ness and industrial prosper
ity. Arlihta Cod ititvtiou.
