Thursday Morning, October 14, 1875.
Defeat of Gov. Allen—The Future of
Parties.
Had the Ohio election taken place
two weeks ago, Gov. Allen would have
been elected by a large majority.
Within a fortnight, however, the hopes
of his friends had visibly declined. Re
covering from their stupor, the bond
holdfng Republicans of the Hast, assist
ed by their Democratic fellows, sup
plemented their war of words through
the newspapers by the introduction of
Cabl Schukz and Gen. Woodford, who,
in addition to their remarkable gifts of
oratory, were heavily backed by money
from this country and Europe. Money,
in combination, is hard to beat, and we
so expressed ourselves, a few days ago,
while still hoping for an uprising of the
people which should baffle even that
almost irresistible element of political
success in this or any other land. A
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, wilting from Ohio under date of
the 10th, declared that “the influence
of money has been felt everywhere,
and the use of it has been so lavish that
it is comparatively unconcealed. In
some counties from two to five dollars
have been paid to laboring men to get
them to attend Republican meetings,
and rewards in gold have been offered
to townships sending the largest dele
gations to Republican demonstrations.
The combined power of the banks, the
national Administration and the rail
roads have been openly thrown into
the conflict, and it is a question of en
durance as to the Allen ranks being
broken and demoralized.”
That the demoralization feared did
take place, as anticipated, admits of no
doubt. The scale was turned against
the Democracy by the free employment
of the agencies above indicated.
That the Republican party will be
highly elated and encouraged is cer
tain, and the Democracy, for the mo
ment, correspondingly depressed. The
contest in Pennsylvania now becomes
doubtful, with the chances in favor of
the Republicans, though the latter may
meet with as stunning a blow in the
Keystone State as their opponents have
just suffered in Ohio.
The introduction of the religious
question into politics had an evil effect
upon the Democratic campaign in
Ohio, and some very imprudent and
objectionable incidents helped the Re
publicans amazingly.
Gen. Grant will perhaps attribute the
refluent wave of party triumph to his
speech at Des Moines. That was a
shrewd trick, and he looms up more
conspicuously than ever as a Presiden
tial candidate.
It would seem from recent events
fhat public virtue is not yet the match
of combinations that can be made
against it by the tremendous leverage
of ready eash. It may be that, in a
general election, even this would fail of
accomplishing its purpose; but the ef
fort made to carry a single State could
be proportionally increased in the now
doubtful conflict of 1876.
We must wait and see what effect the
defeat of Gov. Allen will have upon
the Democracy before any positive
conclusion can be reached. It may
end in a split. The best thing possible,
in our judgment, would be to drop the
currency question and subordinate
everything else to the unearthing of
corrupt Radical practices, by Congress,
and the slogan of popular reform.
So far as the South is concerned, we
may possess ourselves in patience and
await final results with complacency.
The evils of resumption may not fall
upon us as heavily as they will upon
the North. We have gold crops. It
behooves our planters to move every
thing in their power to make their own
bread and meat, and thereby secure
immunity from Eastern and Western
merchants as well as politicians. Our
commercial freedom will be our free
dom politically. That once establish
ed, it will matter precious little whether
men beyond us are called by one name
or another. The Titan of the North is
engaged at present in rending the oak.
We of the South may look with some
interest and curiosity at the rebound,
which is sure to follow.
Medical Fees.
The subject of professional charges,
whether for legal or medical services
performed, has been, and perhaps al
ways will be, little understood by the
great mass of the non-professional;
and especially are they regarded as
problematical by that class of unfor
tunates who are most interested, viz :
those who have to foot the bi 11s.
Not long ago the curiosity of those
who take an interest in such things
was no doubt gratified by the publica
tion—which went the rounds of the
press generally—of the fdfes obtained
by some of the most prominent law
yers of New York city, for long con
tinued services in certain recent cases,
which had acquired a national noto
riety. The value set upon their ser
vices by these distinguished gentle
men, though on a superficial glance
apparently large, was by the more
thoughtful and experienced observer
seen to be eminently proper, when he
considered the native acumen required,
the close study involved, and the ex
hausting strain, both upon mind and
body, necessary to the faithful defense
of the complicated cause.
As an offset to these charges for ex
traordinary services in the legal pro
fession, we quote the following para
graph, taken from a New York letter
to the Springfield Republican, in re
gard to medical fees in New York city :
“A physician in good practice will
receive patients at his office four hours
daily, and make calls for about the
same length of time. From ten to
twenty callers, and half as many Louse
patients, would be a fair average ; the
fees wouid be two and five dollars each.
At these figures it would not be hard
to make up an income of $20,000 or
more. It is said of Dr. Willard Par
ker, I believe, that having been called
out of town to attend a patient, he re
turned a bill of S3OO, and when it was
disputed he showed by his books that
his daily receipts were much over that
sum. Surgeons’ single charges are
larger than those of physicians, though
the incomes of the latter are probably
the highest. For ordinary attendance
their rates are about the same, or say
five dollars a visit. Frqm twenty-five
dollars upwards is the chargefor opera
tions. For setting an arm or leg $250
would be asked; larger undertakings
being in proportion. For a case re
quiring a delicate operation and six
weeks constant attendance, sometimes
two or three times a day, SI,OOO was
lately asked by a leading surgeon. In
another instance, where a wealthy gen
tleman was badly jammed by a rail
road car, he was attended by Dr. J ames
R. Wood, who made about a dozen
visits, without any important opera
tion, and sent in a bill of $2,500, which
was paid. This is exceeded by Dr.
Cabnochan, who charged $2,000 for an
operation alone, while another surgeon
is said to have received $4,500 from one
patient.”
Asa pure question of social science,
we would inquire why these fees are
asked and paid, which, on a superficial
glance, appear to be large ? Why are
these estimates set upon their profes
sional labors and advice by the physi
cian or surgeon in attendance; and
why do they meet with that tangible
recognition of their justice as mani
fested by the willing discharge of the
obligation by the party of the second
part, who is the recipient of the bene
fit derived from the services rendered ?
It is evident that men who have at
tained to the high positions occupied
by the eminent gentlemen referred to
above, whose labors have been crown
ed with success, after a lifetime of ear
nest work, not only amid the truths of
their beneficent science, but also with
the difficulties, no doubt, consequent
upon the early struggles of a profes
sional career, have gained too clear an
insight into the manners and ways of
men to demand a quid pro quo, which
would be extortionate —one that would
subject them to just criticism and cen
sure, thus injuring them before the
public and lessening their chances of
future emolument —and this merely
from the politic side of the question.
But there is another ground from
which, to view it. We would expect at
least some modicum of honor, some
worthiness of confidence from the
long-tried and the long-trusted physi
cian. True, there are quacks, charla
tans and imposters in every walk and
calling of life; but it will not be denied
that as a rule we look for honor and
probity in an eminent degree from
those who patiently watch and minister
to us in the weary hour of suffering and
pain. Especially would we apply it to
those who have attained to a high pro
fessional position, in any given commu
nity, after long years of faithful ser
vice, by their ability, skill and unex
ceptionable career. To have attained to
such a station during so many labori
ous years, in a profession so open to
criticism, where the slightest error
might have blasted a career, of itself
argues the merit of some confidence
and trust. And this is yielded to them
by the many —for who is more looked up
to and revered than he who first wel
comes us to the light of life, guards us
from danger, helping us on our way
when disease would strike us down;
and when, in the Providence of God, no
human power or skill can countermand
the edict, at last closes our eyes In the
hour and the article of death?
A political economist, in answer to
the second question, as to why these
charges are paid, would say it must be
because they are the market value of
that particular kind of skilled labor;
which labor is efficiently performed by
virtue of the possession of a sufficient
amount of specific knowledge; which
knowledge, in a given society, is in the
keeping of a few who have attained it
by special study, labor and intellec
tual energy exerted in a certain direc
tion; all together heightening the value
of that knowledge and skill and ena
bling their possessors to command for
their time and services the estimate set
upon them.
The application then of this knowl
edge and this skill—this science and
this art—which are to be used in and
applied to the relief often of exquisite
suffering, often in emergencies, when
perchance the prompt adjustment must
be made of a fractured limb, or some
bleeding vessel—draining the life-tide
fast away—must be tied by .cutting
skilfully and on the moment among
the living tissues by him who alone
knows where and how to find it—must
be worth the price it brings. To argue
farther would bo attributing to the
reader as little perception of the value
of things as possessed by the patient,
who after undergoing minute physical
examination and receiving full profes
sional advice from the physician for
both present and future treatment, on
having the prescription for medicines
handed him and asking the fee, on be
ing told the amount exclaimed: “What,
doctor, do you charge $5 for writing
this little piece of paper 0 ” “No, sir,”
thundered 2Esculapius, “ the charge
is for the investigation of your case, the
explanation of its nature, the statement
of the dangers which are usually liable
to accrue therefrom, and how they may
be avoided—in short, advice as; to the
course of treatment, in which the
writing on the little piece of paper is
merely the order for the medicinal
agent.”
After all, we should be careful h ow we
hvpercriticise our brethern of tne pill
box and scalpel. How much good they
do, without hope or desire of earthly
reward, often .they alone know. It is
the fashion with some, we have heard,
never to pay a medical bill without
grumbling; and we believe It is often
true also that the physician’s account
is the last to be paid, if paid at all.
Yet his services* are ordered most im
peratively, when wanted, no matter
what the time or how the barometer
and the thermometer stand. We have
often heard physicians say, that the
imperative nature of the demand, or
command, was often in inverse ratio to
the responsibility or solvency of the
party calling. It is strange too, that a
man will often gladly pay a lawyer one
fourth the value, perhaps, of a speci
fied piece of property, for saving the
same to him, when in danger of being
unfairly taken from him; but yet will
think his lot exceeding hard indeed, if
called upon after his recoverty to health
to pay a moderate fee to the man, who
—with untiriDg attention, as the result
of long and laborious research, and by
the exhibition of consummate skill
has been enabled—as an instrument in
the hands of Providence —to preserve
and to prolong that life, which had
else been lost or held in fearful jeop
ardy.
Byron knew somewhat of human na
ture when he wrote:
“ physicians mend or end us,
Secundum artem: but although we sneer
In health—when ill, we call them to attend
us,
Without the least propensity to jeer.”
