N.' . TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1897. i FOWLER'S ".SOLUTION" OP FI NANCIAL TROUBLES. The northern goldbugri mugwumps, republicans and democrats are more or less discussing the question- of finance. It is understood that Mr. Gage who will succeed Secretary Carlisle will push vigorously his extreme gold views, and will practically follow upon the lines pursued by the present administration which has managed the treasury with more positive disaster to this country than possibly any other administration has been able to do. It has greatly in creased the public debt by bond issuing and thereby placed greater burdens upon the patient bearers, the people. If the precise, policy 'of Cleveland as to banks and greenbacks and bonds is followed this country will be worse off at the end of McKinley's four years than it is at present. But it almost looks impossible that McKlnley should follow blindly and to great discredit the-, Cleveland blundering, oppressive policy. And still, if this be not the purpose, why has such a blinded, infat uated goldbug bank president been se . lected to manage the treasury in such a calamitous and disturbed time, as the present. If Gage has been really talk ing as reported he is a dangerous man to be placed in such a responsible office, dealing 'with the finances of a great nation already In great distress because of financial blunders. If he has talked of his own motion without free consul tation -with . the Incoming president, then surely he is veTy indiscreet iand s reckless-'-a blunderer from the start. If he speaks with the consent of .Mc Klnley and really -marks out the policy to be pursued, he reveals a blindness and ignorance on the part of the Major that augurs badly for improvement in business and the return of the prosper ity promised in a whoop by political blowers and sounding tom-tom editorial writers. In the mean time many men, men of . financial ability and who mean well to the Country, are discussing ways and means, theories and plans by which to find a safe path out of the financial wil derness. Even men wedded to the gold system are found favoring some change, . some improvement. Mr. Charles N. Fowler, republican member of the house from New Jersey-, a man of college education and of ability, and '-a. member of the banking and currency committee In the house, admits that there is genuine and "imperative" need of a "speedy financial and currency re form." He sets forth his views at length in The New. York Forum, for February. His opening paragraph in his discussion which fills nine pages is so significant an admission and so ac curate withal we give it entire. . He says: ! ; ...a.. i;. . 'I "Where there is a considerable amount of wealth in the form of money, or in securities yielding income, there will usually be money in abundance, large deposits in banks, and the rates of interests will be comparltively low. That many sections of our country, where these conditions do not prevail, are suffering greatly from the want of sufficient money to conduct , their bus-1 iness properly, is an indubitable fact.l Indeed, that great injustice lis being "done the people in all the newer sec tions where there is yet great undevel oped wealth by not providing for them a currency system that shall insure ap proximately the same rate of interest everywhere upon the same conditions -nd upon the identical or equal secur ity, no one who has thoroughly inves tigated the matter can doubt. That al most every producer in the south, west, and northwest is compelled to sell the products of his toil without reference to his own judgment as to the advisa bility of the time, everyone familiar with the conditions existing in those sections fully realizes." " He sees clearly that some "reform" is absolutely necessary so that he presses his argument. He says truly that while "political leaders may be content to let matters drift, the people will not; for they have rights which they will pro . tect and wrongs for which they will find remedies." He even, prophesies of the overthrow of his own party unless it is faithful to the people by safely guarding their rights. He discusses four causes of trouble and distress. We do not go into it because of "space required. One of the causes, the sec ond he dlscussess, presents a condition all recognize, and to which The'Mes ' senger has already called attention. Mr. Fowler writes: "The second greatest evil from which we are suffering is an .ill-advised sys-, tern of- currency that gives us a ple thora of money at certain times of the year; begetting speculation at the mon ey centres, utterly failing to supply an adequate quantity of money at others, and constantly breeding money panics, which are the chief source of commer cial failures throughout the land. "But these are not the only evils of our present methods; for a properly ad justed system of currency would lower the average rate of interest 1 to 5 per cent., according to the locality, and se- - cure to every section approximately equal rates under similar conditions." Another great cause he thinks is over speculation. He finds our people great ly given to this, and with disastrous re sults. He says people fall to distin guish between commercial and invest ment capital, and this works an evil upon the country. Hear him on this point, perhaps very 1 important. He says there is a wide distinction that "commercial capital should be ' con fined to the current business of . the country and loaned out only upon short-time paper and "fcept constantly turning; Investment capital may prop erly be placed upon long; credit." This man, who .writes as above Is a pro nounced gold standard advocate. He is as blind as to it as The New York Evening Post, the extreme British financial exponent in New York, or the . tatuous shreikers all aroound the north, and some ini the' south. He believes in the gold only principle out and-out and says that it is "the selection of the best, 'the survival of the fittest, as the preference of the ass to the ox; the r horse to the ass; steam and electricity to the horse, and the wind pressing the ship's sail; the telegraph and the tele phone to the sluggish mail. The opera tion of modern material civilization is to eliminate four things: time, space, risks, and doubts; and nothing in the monetary world serves this purpose so well as gold, of which a sufficient quantity exists to meet all the require ments of the human family." There is . hardly a truth in all this. Every point has been exposed and refuted again and again. But this New Jersey re publican cannot see It. . H believes in gold first, last, all the time. ,v He goes the "whole hog' favors wiping out the most useful greenbacks, and yet he Bees troubles, hears complaints and ad mits the necessity of financial and currency reform. We suspect the' re publican is a financial quack. We do not believe any genuine or permanent cure will come to our financial disor ders and relieve business stagnation by a continuance of Cleveland's empiri cism in finance or by the surface doc toring of Fowler. The disease is con stitutional. The money of Washington and Jefferson must be fully restored or the patient will steadily grow worse. Dr. Gage may kill the patient with his nostrums. - - - AOCUMULATINO EVIDENCE. With he going by of the mom'tha the multiplying of offences wrought by- foot ball oontiwuee." Even in. the Penn sylvania legislature there are strong advocates' of prohibiting foot ball. In several otfher states there is a vigorous antagonism to it.' Time only makes It more enormous in Its brtrtaattles ftnd Jmmorallti'es. It ... is known that the very eminent, president of Chicago unl verslty, Rev. Dr. Harper, ihas been a very eager and resolute advocate of the game. But Ihe too Is cured of hla en thusiasm and favoritism, and to no longer 4ta friend, tout pronounces the game "a menace to good work.'' This after prolonged trial and wide obser vation. We see it stated that six or sev en of the famous kickers In the univer sity were discredited In their examina tions, Dr. Harper learns He does not hold to a foolish faJd after theevidenoe is conclusive. This great moral and Intel lectual trplifter la iproved to be a sink of moral piitrtdlty and the enemy of thorough scholarship. Dr. Harper characterizes it as "a menace to good work." North Carolina teachers and others who are such pronounced advo cates might be wise to halt and pan der. - ' " The correspondent, of . a leading reli gious paper, ' The Western Christian Advocate, writes of a game of foot ball tha't he lately saw a.t Columbus, Ohio. It Is so graphic and curative and dis gusting that we make room for part of it, the most significant and instructive He writes: I ' "I have aeen the carnage of more than one bloody battle of course, it set me forever against barbarism of war; I have stxn tiie face-slasihing of the Germ a i student-dull, and wond:r ed at sucr rudiment of savagery In so fine a. culture; I have been amazed at the evident relish with which American tourist companions have described the Spanish bull fight, but thought It the sign of exceptionally giddy or stolid natures; I have been able to account for the relish of the brutal prize fight and cock fight and dog fight, by the sort of people who foster them but I was perplexed out of measure at the exhibition of . delight by Columbus mothers and daughters, and ladies samd gentlemen of presumed culture, as they witnessed that dirtily clad, bare end frowsy, headed, rough and . tumble, shoving, pushing, crushing, pounding, kicking, ground wallowing', mixed up mass of players, of whom any mliht come out with broken limbs, or be left on the ground with ruptured Viltala. I was more perplexed as I saw college "professors walking about, with an un doubted expression of satisfaction, as though It were a fine and cred'iitlaible display." . This is the evidence of a traveller as well as a close observer. It Is announc ed that the1- university athletic clubs advise against the continuance of the very disreputable foot ball games as played in New York by the Yale and Princeton teams. Yale, Harvard, Co lumbia, Dartmouth and Princeton com pose the combination. They agree in saying: . - -! ".We are" firmly convinced that the placing of the annual foot ball game in New York lsinjurious to the good" name of the colleges. The game Is ap parently considered a public spectacle, and it seems to 'be considered by many In New York no longer a contest among college students, but as a public exhi bition, offered to obtain large gate re ceipts, and this lsinjurious to the best Interest of true amateur sport. The fact of the necessity that extra police be placed onduty in the streets and in places of amusement on the ev erting after the 'annual foot ballgame between Yale and Princeton is a suffi cient cause for persons interested in our colleges and (higher education to urge the giving up of the annual game ini New York, and to urge the colleges to hold their athletic contest on col lege grounds and not elsewhere." Now what has secured this change of front, drawn out this vote of censure? It is a growing sound, moral public sentiment that frowns upon the bru talities and immortalities, and the tlhorough exposure , In part of a watchful and faithful public press. All thSs shows real, healthful reaction. The other day we gave what the able presi dent Of Harvard said. We hope the re generating work will continue. We be lieve tha't not long hence no teachers can .be found in 'the south to speak of it enthusiastically. and broadly as. was once the case when it was paraded as a moral elevator 'and a great educational system. lit Is .no wonder that as able and sound a religious and moral advo cate as the Nashville (Tenn.) paper of that name (Advocate) should say this in jits issue of the 4th Inst: " "This is good. That young gentlemen who are supposed to be given up to ine pursuit or the Intellectual life should consent to tour the oourntry as "a public spectacle' With a special view to 'gate receipts, is Indeed anomalous. Of the immense crowds that, gather to witness these academic contests in slugging, how many . are there thia.t nave any Interest, great Or small, in learning? What is the popularity worth that a college gains 'by ministering to a depraved taste for rude sports?" We hold bat all athletics should be confined to college grounds and all con tests should be between students of the same Jistitutton, thus abandoning the very objectionable junketings of col lege; teams, wasting time, s pending money and cultivating dissipation and rowdyism. HOME FOLKS. Will the present legislature take the devouring curs In hand and muzzle them and impose fines that the sheep raisers may be protected In their busi ness and the wool gatherers may be favored as to profits? tThe fish bill before the .Jegislature passes both bodies. A stringent law in its operations is needed to prevent peo ple outside the state depredating upon North Carolina. Let the law be enacted and rigidly enforced ' upon -all tres passers. ' We again ask. Why are the legisla tors of North Carolina so afraid of dogs and care so lltte for the important and profitable sheep Industry? They ought to do something for its advancement. The havoc has gone on among the sheep in North Carolina by carnivorous canines long enough In' allconscience. Show some manhood and Independence. Do not be so afraid of the owners of worthless curs. It was seen and nmnliMiari vw. ivit hig; pops and rads as an unit oolld- iuea ana mingled.' It is time for the Wickers to top posing as anything else than radicals. They should drop all dUstrutsen. .t1 at-aibta - . of the party that a swallowed them. They work together, they vote together to pursue the same course of political Iniquity, they divide the epollsand are hob-nobbing and hugging and pow wowing', tanid caucusing and ranting and. self-seeking in .utmost harmony arid general depravity. Come out of all disguise, drop the mask and stand forth true blue radicals duly received and circumcised. The legislature may look Into the MajbiMUes" of Stockholders in banks. A 'bill ' before the house Is to make all stockholders responsible In their Indi viduality and ratably. The banking system Of this country as a whole Is extremely deflcienlt and unsatisfactory as one may learn by studying up the subject. There is absolutely no protec tion to depositors except in the integ- rity of the bank presidents and cash iers. Governor Russell Is beginning to tread a something thorjny and rugged road as chief executive. The organ of the republican party, at Raleigh, open ly Opposes his effort to save North Carolina from spoliation by a railroad. His party seems to he determined to stand by the lease, whatever It means and however secured, and Russell will be only sustained by the populists and possibly a few democrats. Pritchard, on the other hand, is strongly supporting the lease, and he leads the opposition. Another important matter for caref ul consideration is a; good, serviceable, thorough road law. Good roads must come f North Carolina does not mean to close up the rear of the mearching army of progress. The wide-awake States are very wide-awake as to road improvement. Enough has been written and spoken Of better country roads, in our stbate to enlighten legislators, voters and 'tax payers, and to have already secured good roads in all theninety-s'ix counties. New York now Is 'moving to have an uniform system ; of road bu'ilding in all counties. We 'learn from an exchange that a states board of highway commissioners Is provided for, which shall meet at least once a year in each county of .the state and make spe cial recommendations for that county, furnishing plans, and designating what specific improvements Shall receive state assiistance. ' The county may or may not follow tWese recommendations Let our legislators fully inform them selves 'in the matter and adopt a wise, practical, effective law. TO CURE A COLI IN ONE.

They have in the congested cen tre an over-stock of money, but the other parts of the country are suffering from a prolonged attack of tax deple tion and nervous prostration caused by too little circulation of blood money. At Epperson Springs, Tenn. Mr. Rob ert W. Sloan and wife Reetha were born in thirteen days of each other, were 78 years old, died on 12th January with in eight hours- of each other. They died in the same room, were buried in the same grave, and had been married fifty-seven years. They were Metho dists. ' A writer from northern Iowa in The New York Evening Post, blatant gold bug, says that ."some local elections in our state indicate a reaction in favor of democracy." This reaction will become general if the McKinley set continue the Cleveland policy or fails to bring relief to the country. The same writer, a goldbug, says: "We have lots of pro ducts and no price, and I cannot see how .immediate renei can oe got. aurt iy not by legislation." Study that, i Failures of banks and rascalities of officials continue. The latest is Cashier Benton D. Hatcher, of Great Falls, Montana, who bought out . his own bank, but defaulted for $180,000.
