Answer:
Marley's chains contain ledgers and cash boxes, indicating the specific ways in which he is guilty of failing humanity; likewise, the ghost here has a chain containing a huge iron safe, which probably indicates that he failed his fellows by hoarding his money rather than helping those in need
