T Came ana the Remedy.
IDE WORLD'S FAIU.
PlaclBg' Ike Responsibility when
It Belong.
In view of the unfair and untrue utterances
of the Rerublican press relative to the present
financial disturbance and consequent business
stagnation throughout the country, it becomes
necessary, and is indeed the duty of every paper
professing the interests and welfare of the nation,
to present its readers with a calm, unimpasiion
ed consideration of the situation and its proba
ble cause and remedy.
If, as the Republican leaders are claiming,
the reasons lie in the uncertainties of the tariff
future, this influence will be very short lived, for
our friends may rest assured that die great
Democratic party will obey the voice of the
people, who demanded an equitable revision oi
the tariff by such an overwhelming majority,
last November, and who elected a Democratic
President and Congress to inaugurate this very
reform. Furthermore, if, as these radical pub
lications assert, the net lowering and equaliza
tion of custom duties should result in further
commercial or industrial prostration, this last
will be of shorter duration than the first, for the
obvious reason that a system founded in natural
reason and justice will speedily recover to the
country all its former thrift, and advance it in
the lines of true and permanent prosperity. The
fundamental laws of trade never change, and a
system founded on an artificial basis will pro
duce only artificial results. The inevitable col
lapse comes, sooner or later. Possibly it were
better for the immediate welfare of the young
and well nigh exhausted Republic, at a time
when the people had all but lost faith in their
own future, that George Washington should
have instituted a monarchy instead of a Gov
ernment by the people ; but who now questions
or does not respect the unselfish patriotism and
profound wisdom of the venerated man, in es
tablishing a nation whose polity meant freedom
and individual sovereignty for all time to come?
Legislation tor temporal purposes is one thing,
and that underlying and following the destiny
of a peoplea very different thing. - The latter
must follow the course of basic principles, or
result in evil.
The tariff, adjusted on the lines indicated
above, will speedily work out its own and the
salvation of the country, in spite of the political
pessimists, be they sincere or otherwise. But
we apprehend the real cause of the trouble ex
ists in the condition of our finances. "The
lack of confidence," instead of proceeding from
the tariff question, we trace to a very different
. source, viz : the Sherman silver purchase act,
albeit the act was the result of Republican leg
islation.
That we are not alone in our opinion, and
that it is not based entirely on partisan consid
erations, we present the resolutions recently
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York an organization older than
the Republic, having been founded in 1768, and
composed of none but representative men of
life-long experience and eminent financial abil
ity. It is entirely non-partisan in char
acter, and includes in its membership some of
the most distinguished business men and finan
ciers of the country, representing no political
party, but made up of Democrats and Repub
licans alike. Its doors are open to men of all
parties. It hat nothing to do with the politics
of its members. Read what it has to say on
the subject, and then peruse carefully the sub
joined resolutions and extract. A very little
analytical reflection will make clear the correct
ness of the position taken.
The Chamber gives its opinion very succinct
ly, as follows 4 .
It is evident that a great majority of all the
boiiEMi men of this country believe that the
silver poiebiciug clause of the Sherman Aot is
the most important eause of the general distrust
which now exists, and this belief will prevent
the reiteration of confidence and the return of
ordinary prosperity until it becomes eertain that
- inch silver purchasing clause will ipeedily be
itptalcd. In the opinion of this Chamber, the
repeal of the elante will remove the fear which
is now paralysing all induitries.will eanae hoard
d currency to return to the banks, or to seek
invtitatnt. and will let the wheels of commerce
again in motion.

LWbieias. Ibis country has oiten luffered
greatly by reason of hasty and ill-advised nnan
eial legislation ; and
feWHiBiia, It is now suffering from the effect
oPthe silver pnrchaiing clause of the Ebibhah
Aet. which, by creating distrust as to the inter-
changeability of our currency based on silver
with our currency based on gold, has caused
widespread alarm, and has almost created a
commercial panie ; and
Whibia8, In consequence of this alarm mon
ey U withdrawn from circulation, bniiness is
greatly depressed, many mills and manufactories
are closing, or preparing to close, and thousands
of laboring men are about to be thrown out of
employment; and
W anus, Sasiness enterprises will not be re-
famed nor labor iteadily employed until money
can be obtained by manufacturers and by mer
chants at moderate rates : and
a.k ubbias. ordinary interest rates eannot be
expected until confidence in the stability of all
the money of the country shall be thoroughly
re-established, so that the lender may not fear
repayment in dollars less valuable than those he
lends ;
Mtit Rfolvtd, That the repeal of the silver
pnrchaiing clauie of the Ehkbmaw Aot which,
month by month, renders increasingly difficult
the maintenance of the parity of each dollar
with every other dollar.is essential to the prompt
restoration of national pioipenty. Inn Cham

Lafayette, Ind , august 7th. 1893
Editors Press: One week aaro I sent you a
brief article about tne World's Fair I remain
ed at the White City ; till Thursday evening. I
was constantly surprised at the magnitude of
the Exposition. As I entered building- after
building, new revelations of beauty and won
derful interest were before me. The whole
world seemed to be minUtering to my enjoy
mens. It wss a marvelous opportunity for not
only studying tho works of men, but man him
self For man is greater than all the bewilder
ing exhibit. And yet some do not seem to have
much ability to appreciate what they see. To
some it is only a magnificent County Fair They
get out of it what is in them . To others it is
the most magnificent exhibit upon which the
sun ever shone. In it they see the greatness of
men, and the beauty of the world in which they
now live. They also not only see the great pro
gress that has been made but suggestions of the
grand opportunities opening b fore humanity.
What has been accomplished in the department
of lectrioity since the Centennial is only a
prophecy of the future.- lAlready people are
cooking theii food by lightning. What will not
yet be done? I may yet live to see this the
cheapest and best fuel to be obtained for do-
mestio uses.
Two days in the Art Gallery turnished a rich
feast. One lives wonderfully fast while gazing
upon the works of master artists and listening
to the voices of history. Many of the paintings
are sermonc. and may be partially reproduced
in word pictures after my return.
In the Horticultural. Agricultural and For
estry buildings nature and art are comtined
The products of orchard, gulden, farm and
woods, are presented in many artistic forms
The almost infinite variety of earth's' products
that challenge attention, must broaden the vis
itor's conception of the world in which he now
resides.
One grows weary after hours of study, and
then, if a Buckeye, either by birth or .adoption,
be can find an admirable place to rest in the
Ohio building, of which every citizen should be
Justly proud. The glory of Ohio does not con
sist in a fine display of the products of earth or
factory, but in her intelligent children, who
assemble in the convenient and comfortable
place provided by the State for their comfort.
Bere many gather to eat the lunches that they
have biougbt with them. By knowing how.
people can live well and eijoy the great Fair
at a very reasonable expense. Prices on 'the
grounds are not extravagant, yet a large per
cent, of visitors save from S5 to 60 per cent by
obtaining their lunches before entering the
gates, and then as noon, if they desire warm
drink they can obtain a cup ef coffee, tea or
cocoa tor trom 5 to 15 cent per cup.
Sunday opening one week ago did not ar-
rouse much interest, except sympathy for the
officials who were forced to open, contrary to
their Jdugment. yet in harmony with law.
Sunday opening is not popular with a large per
miil nf the ben citizens of Chicago, and .as a
rule the exhibitors desire the day for rest.
1 met quite a number of the citizens qf En
venna and other towns in Portage county, and
while all seemed to enjoy the Fair intensely,
they also seemed 10 enjoy the sight of the face
of an acquaintance and friend, and many were

Secretary Herbert oh tee Situation.
Secretary Herbert talked briefly at Chicago
on the one question of absorbing interest at the
present time, the financial situation and the lg
illation it requires. lie said: A lack oi con
fidence in American securities, both on the part
ef European and home investors, has caused the
present financial panic, for which the Bherkah
Act is directly responsible. If Congress repeals
this law.as I hope it will.the worst will be over."
It is well to bear in mind the way in whieh the
Sberhax law aots to produce a lack of confi
dence. It provides for the constant issue, at a
fixed rate, of legal Under notes ior the purehase
of silver. These notes, together with the out
standing United States notes, eonstitute the le
- gal-tender currency of the country issued by the
tiovernment. They form, roughly speaking.
about one- half the curreaey.the remainder being
in silver certificates and national bank notes,
' which are not legal-tender, and standard silver
dollars, which are. It is perfectly plain that the
Government eannot go on for ever adding to its
notes, while not adding to its gold, and be able
to pay the notes in gold. The knowledge of this
fact has earned the general lack of confidence,
which was liow and gradual at first, but became
more marked as the note increased and the gold
foil nIF
for fourteen years the Government bad always
held at least $100,000,000 in gold in the Treasury.
While it held that amount, distrust, though it
had its influence and was increasing, was not
acute, and did not directly and obviously affeot
ordinary traniacttons. When, in the downward
.course cf the geld reserve, the limit of $100,000..
000 was reached and passed, everybody felt that
there was no certainty how low the reserve would
go or how soon gold payments would become
impossible. Then the lack of confidence became
intensified, took the form almost of panie. and
proved so obstinate that the whole country has
suffered from it. trade has been rendered very
difficult, and in some directions has been nearly
paralysed. Now. if the law of 189) be repealed'
if the purchase of silver be stopped, if the issues
f notes shall cease, the immediate cause of dis
trust is removed. Aeasonable calculations for
the future will become possible, credit will grad
ually be restored, money, which every one in
stinctively olings to when oredit is restricted,
will be released, aotivity will be resumed, and
sound business will again become lafe and pros
perous. These are the plain facts whieh make
the repeal of the Adt of 1890 imperative. New
York limes. July 10. 1893.

Council Proceeding.
Council met in August or angust session,
Monday night. The principal business transact
ed was the passing of the pay ordinance. The
principal business not transacted was considera
ble, if not more. One of these latter items was
the failure to allow L, H. Bean $500 for alleged
damages te one of his horses that fell into an
improperly filled water ditch on South Freedom
street, some time last June. The matter was
placed in the hands of the Street Committee and
Solicitor, to oonfer with Mr. Bean or E.W. Max-
son, Lsq , his attorney, who presented the claim
to the Council, Another one was the tabling of
proposed ordinance to regulate street excava
tions for the purpose of tapping eas and water
mains. The ordinance provided for a written
permit to be granted by the Mayor or Street
Commissioner, to every person who desired to
make any such excavation. It was thought best
to postpone the adoption of the ordinance until
the next session, in order to inquire more fully
into the legal rights of the parties concerned.

A number of the ex-firemen, through one ot
their number who represented them in the Coun
cu chambers, demanded half-month s pay for
their services from the 1st to the 20th of June.
The regular appropriation was made for that
month, but the new members, who only served
10 days, received compensation for the month in
full, leaving the ones who had performed the
bulk of the labor outin the cold. Council agreed
that this was unjust, and directed the Chief to
pay the ex -members from the present appropri
ation. In other words, the present members
will receive pay for half of June, which is still
five more days than they are legally entitled to.

To the Congress of the United States:
The existence of an alarming and extraordin
ary business situation, involving the welfare
and prosperity of all our people, has constrained
me to call together In extra session the people's
representatives In'congress.to the end that they
through a wise and patriotic exercise ot the
legislative duty with which they solely are
charged, present evils may be mitigated and
dangers threatening the future may be averted.
Our unfortunate financial plight lsnot the re
sult of untoward events nor of conditions re
lated to our natural resources; nor is it trace
able to any of the afflictions which frequently
check national growth and prosperity. With
plenteous crops, with abundant promise of re
munerative production and manufacture, with
unusual Invitation to safe investment and
with satisfactory assurance to business
enterprise, suddenly financial distrust and fear
have sprung up on every side. Numerous mon
eyed institutions have suspended because
abundant assets were not immediately availa
ble to meet the demands of frightened deposit
ora. Surviving corporations and individuals
are content to keep in band the money they are
usually anxious to loan, and those engaged in
legitimate business are surprised to find that
the securities they offer for .loans, though here.
tofore satisfactory, are no longer accepted-
Values supposed to be fixed are fast becoming
conjectural, and loss and failure have invaded
every branch of businesa
I believe these things are principally charge
able to congressional legislation touching the
purchase and coinage of silver by the general
government.
This aleigslation is embodied in a statute
passed on the 14th day of July, 1890, which was
the culmination of much agitation on the sub
ject involved, and which may be considered a
truce, after a long struggle, between the advo
cates of free silver coinage and those intending
to be more conservative.
Undoubtedly the monthly purchases by tho
government of 4,500,000 ounces ot silver, en
forced under that statute, were regarded by
those interested in silver production as a cer
tain guaranty of its increase In price. The re
sult, howeveV, has been entirely different, for
immediately following a spasmodic and slight
rise, the price of silver began to fall after the
passage of the act and has since reached the
lowest point ever known. This disappointing
result has led to renewed and persistent effort
In the direction of free silver coinage.
Meanwhile, not only are the evil effeots of the
operation of the present law constantly ac
cumulating, but the result to which its execu
tion must inevitably lead is becoming palpable
to all who give the least heed to financial sub
jects. This law provides that in payment for
the four million and five hundred thousand
ounces of silver bullion which the secretary of
the treasury is commanded to purchase monthly.
there shall be issued treasury notes redeema
ble on demand in gold or silver coin.
at the discretion of the secretary of the
treasury, and that said notes may be reissued.
It Is, however, declared in the act to be
"the established policy of the United States to
maintain the two metals on a parity with each
other Upon the present legal ratio or such ratio
as may be provided by law. " This declaration
so controls the action of the secretary of the
treasury as to prevent him exercising the dis
cretion nominally vested in him, if by such ac
tion the partity between gold and silver may be
disturbed. Manifestly a refusal by the secre
tary to pay these treasury notes in gold, if de
manded, could necessarily result In their dis
credit and depreciation as obligations payable
only in silver, and would destroy the parity be
tween the two metals by establishing adiscrin
ination in favor of gold.
Up to the fifteenth day of July, 1893, these
notes had been Issued in payment of silver
bullion purchases, to the amount of more than
one hundred and forty-seven millions of dollars.
While all but a very small quantity of this
bullion remains uncoined and without useful
ness in the treasury, many of the notes given in
its purchase have been paid in gold. This is
Illustrated by the statement that between the
first day of May, 1892, and the fifteenth day of
July, 1893, the notes of this kind issued in pay
ment for silver bullion amounted to a little
more than fifty-four millions of dollars, and
that during the same period about forty-nins
millions of dollars were paiq by the treasury in
gold for the redemption of such notes.
The policy necessarily adopted .of paying
these notes in gold has not spared the gold re
serve of one hundred millions of dollars long
ago set aside by the government for the re
demption of other notes, for this fund has al
ready been subjected to the payment of new ob
ligations amounting to about one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars on aocount of silver
purchases, and has, as a consequence, for the first
time since Its creation, been encroached upon.
We have thus made the depletion of our gold
easy, and have tempted other and more appro
ciative nations to add it to their stock. That
the opportunity we have offered has not been
neglected is shown by the large amounts of gold
which have been recently drawn from our
treasury and exported to increase the financial
strength of foreign nations. The excess of ex
ports of gold over its imports for the year end
ing June 30, 1S93, amounted to more than eighty
seven and a half millions of dollars.
Between the first day of July, 1890, and the
fifteenth day of July, 1893, the gold coin and
bullion in our treasury decreased more than one
hundred and thirty-two millions of dollars,
while during- the same period the silver coin
and bullion in the treasury Increased more than
one hundred and forty-seven millions of dol
lars. Unless government bonds are to be con
stantly issued and sold to replenish our ex
haus ted gold, only to be again exhausted, it is
apparent that the operation of the silver pur-
Chase law now in force, leads in the direotion ot
the entire substitution of silver for the gold lrj
the government treasury, and that this must be
followed by the payment of all government obli
gations in depreciated silver.
At this stage gold and silver must part com
pany and the government must fail In Its es
tablished policy to maintain the two metals on
a parity with each other. Given over to the ex.
elusive use of a currency greatly depreciated
according to the standard of the commercial
world, we could no longer claim a place among
nations of tho first class, nor could our govern
ment claim a performance of its obligations, sa
far as such an obligation has been imposed upon
it, to provide for the use of the people the best
and safest money.
If, as many of its friends claim, silver ought
to occupy a larger place in our currency and th
currency of the world through general interna
tional co-operation and agreement, it is obvious
that the United States will not be in a positior
to gain a hearing in favor of such an arrange
ment so long as we are willing to continue ou
attempt to aooomplish the result single-handed.
The knowledge in business circles among oui
own people that our government cannot make
Its fiat equivalent to intrinsic value, nor keep
Inferior money on a parity with superior money
by its own independent efforts, has resulted it
such a laok of confidence at home in the sta
bility of currency values, that capital refuses its
aid to new enterprises while millions are aotu-
ally withdrawn from the channels of trade and
commerce to become idle aud unproductive in
the hands of timid owners. Foreign investors
equally alert not only decline to purchase
American securities, but make haste to sacri
fice those which they already have.
It does not meet the situation to say that ap
prehension in regard to the future of our
finances is groundless and that there is no reason
for lack of confidence In the purposes or power
of the government in the premises. The very
existence of this apprehension and lack of con
fidence, however caused, is a menace which
ought not for a moment to be disregarded.
Possibly if the undertaking we have in hand
were the maintenance of a speciflo known quan
tity of silver at a parity with gold, our ability to
do so might be estimated and gauged, and per
haps, in view of our unparalleled growth and
resources, might be favorably passed upon.
But when our avowed endeavor is to maintain
such parity in regard to an amount of silver
increasing at the rate of fifty millions of dollars
yearly, with no fixed termination to such In
crease, it can hardly be said that a problem is
presented whose solution is free from doubt.
The people of the United States are entitled
to a sound and stable currency and. to money
recognized as such on every exchange and in
every market of the world. Their government
has no right to injure them by financial experi
ments opposed to the policy and practice of
other civilized states, nor is it justified in per
mitting an exaggerated and unreasonable reli
ance in our national strength and ability to
jeopardize the soundness of the people's money.
This matter rises above the plane of party
politics. It vitally concerns every business and
calling and enters every household in the land.
There is one important aspect of the subject
which especially should never be overlooked.
At times like the present, when the evils of un
sound finance threaten us, the speculator may
anticipate a harvest gathered from the misfor
tune of others, the capitalist may protect him
self by hoarding, or may even find profit in tha
fluctuation of values; but the wage earner the
first to be Injured by a depreciated currency
and the last to receive the benefit of Its correc
tion is politically defenseless- He relies
for work upon the ventures of confident and
contented capital. This failing him, his condi
tion is without alleviation, for he can neither
prey on the misfortune of others, nor hoard his
labor. One of the greatest statesmen our coun.
try has known, speaking more than fifty
years ago when a derangement of the currenoy
had caused commercial distress, said; "The
very man of all others who has the deepest in
terest In a sound currency and who suffers most
by mischievous legislation in money matters, la
the man who earns his daily bread by his daily
toil."
These words are pertinent now as on the day
they were uttered and ought to impressively
remind us that a failure in the discharge of our
duty at this time must especially injure those
of our countrymen who labor, and who because of
their number and condition are entitled to the
most watchful care of their government
It is of the utmost importance that such
relief as congress can afford in the existing
situation be afforded at once. The maxim "He
gives twice who gives quickly" is directly ap
plicable. It may be true that the embarrass
ments from which the business of the country
Is suffering arise as much from evils appre
hended as from those actually existing. We
may hope, too, that calm counsels will prevail
and that neither the capitalists nor the wage
earners will give way to unreasoning panic and
sacrifice their property or their interests under
the influence of exaggerated fears. Neverthe
less, every day's delay in removing one of tho
plain and principal causes of the present state
of things enlarges the mischief already done
and Increases the responsibility of the govern
mant for its existence. Whatever else the two
pie have a right to expect from congress, they
may certainly demand that legislation con
demned by the ordeal of three years disastrous
experiences shall be removed from tbe statute
books as soon as their representatives can legit
imately deal with it.
It was my purpose to summon congress In
special session early In the coming September
that we might enter promptly upo n the work ol
tariff reform, which the true Interests of the
country clearly demand, which bo large a
majority of the people, as shown by
their suffrages, desire and expect, and
to the accomplishment of which every effort of
the present administration is pledged. Bui
while tariff reform has lost nothing of Its im
mediate and permanent Importance, and must
in the near future engage the attention of con
gress, it has seemed to me that the financial
condition of the country should at once and be
fore all other subjects, be considered by your
honorable body.
I earnestly recommend the prompt repeal 01
the provisions of the act passed July 14, 1890,
authorizing the purchase of silver bullion, and
that other legislative action may put beyond all
doubt or mistake the Intention and the ability
of the government to fill its pecuniary obliga
tions in money universally recognized by all
civilized countries.

Saturday's Convention,
The convention held Saturday for the purpose
of electing delegates and alternates to represent
Portage County at the Democratic State Con
vention to be held at Columbus today and to
morrow, was well attended, considering the
busy season among farmers. .
The convention was called to order by I. H.
Phelps, Esq , who stated the objects of the
meeting. Hon. D. C. Coolman was thereupon
elected Chairman, and Edmund Knapp, of
Garrettsville, and E. Y. Lacey, of this city .were
elected Secretaries.
In taking the chair, Mr. Coolman said that in
the language of President Cleveland, it was a
condition and not a theory that confronted us.
The convening of an extraordinary session of
Congress was an unusual experience, ocoasioned
by the necessity of devising some measure ol
relief from the present unfortunate financial
condition of the country. Our Republican
friends, of course, charged it all on the Demo
cratic administration, laying especial stress on
the tariff policy of the party. The absurdity
of the charge was apparent, when it was reflect
ed that lor nearly a third of a century not a
single law on the Federal statute books has been
placed there by the Democratic party. The
great difficulty lay in the unwise policies and
enactments of the Harrison administration, and
the speaker had sufficient confidence in the in
telligence of the representatives of the people
to believe that some practical plan would be
adopted to relieve the present depression. The
voice of the people was heard on the tariff sub
ject last November, and the pet measure of the
Republican party will be attended to in due
time. In the meantime, it has devolved "on a
Democratic Congress to undo, as far as possible,
the evil brought upon the finances ot the coun
try by the Republican administration. This he
believed would be wisely and patriotically done.
The convention then proceeded to the election
of delegates, and made choice of the following
gentlemen :
Hon. D. C. Coolman. Ravenna :
I. H. Phelps. Esq., Ravenna ;
James Armstrong, Kent;
Peter Arighi, Kent ;
Elmer Carrier. Brimfield;
C. H. Crafts. Garrettsville.
Alternates were then chosen as follows :
H . L. Searl. Ravenna ;
M. H.Davis. Kent;
Clinton Young, Hiram ;
Silas Eldridge, Mantua;
Fred. Geidlinger, SufEeld :
H. H. Woolf. Atwater.
The delegates go to the convention uninstruct-
ed, unpledged, and uncommitted. They are for
the best and most available man, whoever he
may be.
On motion of Dr. Proctor, the present Coun
ty Executive Committee was continued to the
next County Convention, after considerable
discussion.
After a number of delegates had been heard
from relative to the best plan to adopt with ref
erence to the Central Committee, I. T. Siddall
made a motion that the next County Convention
select a County Central Committee, to be com
posed of one member from each township.
making a total of 21, and that the persons thus
s elected be, by virtue of their office, Chairmen
of their respective Township Committees. The
motion was carried.
The Convention thereupon adjourned, on
motion of Dr. George H. Proctor, of Shalers-
ville.
