the sHRIMKAcE IN VALUES Is
ENDED.

We want to say to our readers that
the era of better times is at hand
that is, the beginning of good times
is upon us. We do not expect be-
cause the silver bill has become law
that therefore the country is to be
flooded with money; the fact is there
is to-day about enough currency in
the country, there is certainly enough
in the present depressed commercial
condition of the country, and whcth-
er we shall need more upon the re-
turn of prosperity will be developed
and as developed, free banking will
provide the necessary volume upon
demand.
1t is folly to suppose that depres-
sion in business was or is caused by
lack of money. The depression in
business has had three causes, two of
which were general and one having
a local application only.
First, the fears of the people touch
ing resumption have caused all pru-
dent men to curtail their business,
that is to say, to make no ventures
except such rs they were entirely cer-
tain they could reach or had the mon.
ey actually on hand necessary to ac-
complish them. In other words
prudent men expected curtail-
ment in business, because ell men
who intended to pay their debts were
economizing for that purpose; in fact
the whole nation was coming down
from the extravaganza engendered
during the war, to healthy state of
living. This condition of things of
course dried up the springs of busi-
ness in comparison with what it had
been.
But the great thing that has brought
this nightmare upon the business Of
the country has been the shrinkage in
values caused by the gigantic mon
ey swindle of narrowing down the ba-
sis of money to gold alone. This was
what made prudent men and men of
sense so fearful of the future. They
feared the ability of the government
to resume upon a gold basis, and this
gold business made money dearcr and
property and labor cheaper; it was
this shrinkage in property and appre-
citation in money which was crushing
the country. AT the same time there
was no shrinkage in what people
owed, but on the contrary the appre-
citation Of money was enlarging the
indebtedness.
Now all is changed, the basis, the
foundation for money is enlarged by
the adding of silver to gold and we
have no fears of the ability of the
county to resume soon.
Silver reconciliation will not only
stop the shrinkage in property, but
enhance the value thereof.
This will give confidence to the
people and they will be ready and
willing to make ventures and as con-
sequence the channels of trade and
business will be enlivened with activ-
| ity. 1t is clear to our minds that the
setting in of an era of prosperity is at
hand; that the time is at hand when
no man need fear further depression.
The third, local cause for depres-
sion, is failure of crops. OF course
nothing but good crops can remedy
poor crops and the depression caused
by poor crops. This cause, no wever,
for hard times is only local.

CoNsTANTINopLE, March 2.-Great
mistrust aud uneasiness is felt re.
specting Russian designs in the Bos-
phorus. They can occupy Chanok
forts at moments notice. Move
ments the objects of which are not
apparent are still progressing. The
position of the British ships at Tuzla
is regarded as critical, owing to the
short run for torpedo boats from
Tehkemedge or San Stefano. 1t is
strongly suspected that torpedo boats
and white head torpedoes are being
dispatched to the sea of Marmora in
sections. The Russians occupy
Charkoi, Rodaste, Eregli, Silivri and
Tchekmedge, all Of which are admi-
rably suited as bases for torpedo op-
erations, should it be decided to
menace our fleet. Precautions are
taken nightly to guard vessels against
surprise.
