THE SIGNIFICANCE or SEVEN PER CENT

THE SIGNIFICANCE or SEVEN PER CENT.
On Saturday the directors of the Bank of
England raised their minimum rate of dis
count 10 seven per cent. The rate of interest
in London is matter TO which too much at
tention cannot be given in the present condi-
ton OF our affairs. The discount rate of the
Bank of England is the barometer of the Lon
don money marx ct, and London is the com
mercial metropolis of the world. There IL not
a country with which we trade which will not
suffer if credit receives a shock in London,
and of all countries which trade with England
none has more at stake than our own. The
importance of rightly understanding the rela-
tons which exist between the United States
and Great Britain cannot he Overstated, and
we may add that neither the principles nor
the facts appear to be fully cOmprehended by
the great majority of our business men.
The last great panic in England was that of
1866 which was precipitated by the failure of
the great house of 0verend, Quincy & Co.
We purpose to notice here simply the effect
which that panic had on our foreign COM
merce. In the following table the exports and
imports represent merchandise only, and from
the imports we have deducted the amount of
foreign commodities reexpOrted. The exports
are given at their currency value. The exports
of specie are the totals of the exports and re-
exports less the imports, The years end with

The recent occurrences on the lsthmus OF
Panama show the necessity for more clearly
defining the rights or obligations of the United
States in regard to interoceanIc transit By
the treaty of 1916 our Government bound 1T
self to guarantee positively aud etfcaciously"
TO New Granada the perfect neutrality of the
" Isthmus, with the view that the free transit
&" from the one to the other sea may not be
interrupted or embarrassed In consequence
the United States also guaranteed I'm the
same manner the rights of sovereignty
and property which NewGranada has
and possesses over the said territory To
certain extent the authority which the United
States exercised on the lsthmus was opposed
TO the "rights of sovereignty which we have
guaranteed, assuming that the treaty, under
which our forces act, is applicable to Colombia
as it was to New Granada. If it is necessary
for our Government to exercise an armed pro-
lection over this route, our right to do so
should not rest on any vague understanding

Sonora. Mexico, hLs little revolution OF its
own. Two gentlemen. who would be called
bandits in any country but Mexico, express a
preference for the State constitution OF 1872;
they have issued pronunciamiento to that
effect, and have taken the field at the head OF
an army of $50 men. OF course, they have
levied "a forced loan :" this is the chief busi-
ness of Mexican revolutions. In this case the
revolutonists modestly demanded S@,OOO,
(which was paid" adds the dispatch. A fair
division of this involuntary tribute among the
industrious gentlemen who do not like the
present constitution of the Stale of Sonora
would probably give them more money than
they ever earned legitimatey. Meantime,
hundreds of poverty stricken natives are
crowding INTO the territory of the United
States. Revolutions do not seem to agree
with them.

Heading OF The Professional POlllIeI-


That was shrewd, but malignant
and unsuccessful trick by which some
enemy of the Anti-Monopoly Farmers
Convention of Iowa attempted to split
up their Convention by aresolution to
ascertain how many of the farmers
were Democrats, and how many Repub
licans. The farmers have been deluded
so often by stale party cries, refused to
be caught again, and tabled the reso-
luton. The professional polititian
has but just one source of nOwer, and
that is his ability touse his knowledge
OF the abject submission of all party
menHto party cries.
Without these he would be nothing,
and therefore il is that he is heard
shouting them on the stump, and pro-
claiming them all the time in f1atu-
lent rhetoric through the newspapers.
The despotisn of an autocrat is not
more imperious and crushing than the
despotism of party. When man can
give no better reason for voting for q
notoriously bad candidate than that
he the voter "belongs TO the party, -
he is demonstrating in truth and in
substance that he does indeed belong
to the party, for in more senses than
one the tparty' owns him. And who
is the ''party?'' Just precisely the
half dozen or dozen of both parties
who met together in private and allot
the Offices among themselves and
their adherents.
The Iowa farmers have shown their
good sense, and set significant ex-
ample by refusing TO be divided by the
'party cry" any longer. If they mean
business by their Organizations and
nominations, their refusal to be di-
vided is long step toward success,
and if they hold to that resolve, and
inexorably refuse to be divided, they
will have made much longer stride
towards paralyzing that baleful power
in this country by means ofwhich the
control of nearly every American city,
nearly every American State, and the
Congress of the United States, has
been thrown into the hands of local
''rings," State "rings," railroad and
steamship 'irings," and Credit Mobi-
lier "rings."

ssPefiIcOaf Alien :,

The Democracy OF Ohio have nom.
mated an old fossil who has been
buried cut of sight for the last twenty
five years, with the exception of q
short period when he made a feeble
effort, Ike thorough eopperhead that
he Wss, 70 aid the cause of that arch
traitor, Nallandigham- Justice to the
memory Of one of the bravest, purest
and best men this country ever pro-
duced, requires US to show up the
record OF this venerable fossil, William
Alien.
In 1910, when General Harrison,
the hero OF TippecanOe, Of Fort Meigs
and the Thames, was running as the
Wing candidate for the Presidency,
Mr.. Allen invented and circulated q
story to the effect that Harrison was
a coward at all three Of the above
battles, and that the ladies of Chilli
eoths, 10 show their contempt of him
SIS General, presented him with a
red fiannel petttcoatI So manifestly
false was this infamous story, that
the people denounced it as such, and
with one accord they called him
'tPetticoat Allen.u Ladies all over
Tic county sent MN al LneH cast
of petticoats. labeled as above, toshow
their appreciation of his slanderous
utterances. Whenever he appeared
in the streets, the very boys would
yell out, there comes old Petticoat
Allen.'
or course, General Harrison's record
being invulnerable, the siander fell to
the ground, and the Hero of Tippeea-
moo was triumphantly elected.
This Is about the only conspicuous
fact that is recorded of fiPetticoat Al
len," and for the last quarter Of q cen
tury he has been utterly unknown as
q politician or a man of note. And
yet the Plain Dealer speaks Of him as
the "peer of Webster, Clay and other
great menp'-[Cleveland Leader.
