MONEY AND POLITICS
A classical Philadelphia. writing TO the New
York Nation In regard to the fact that the OK
penses of the general election In Great Britain
estimated ut $40 600 00o have had the effect to de-
press the price of oonsos, says that such an
effect OF eleotioneering expenditures upon the
money market Is no new thing In history
Cicero. In one OF his letters to Atticus remarks
that electloneering was then going on with
great activity In Rome. In proof Of his as-
sertion he states that on the f teenth Of July
previous the rate Of interest In the money
market had gone no from TO per cent per
annum. Our recent experience" adds this
learned writer, is different Since the ourren-
cp has been controlled and regulated mt Wash

been to make the money market easier than It
would otherwise have been" There Is some
reason to question the correctness Of this state

like those presented In 1876 We can ssn no par
tieular reason for the money market being Of
feeted one way or another by the result. If,
however, the money market Is to be regarded

ness Of things In politics and morals. 1t might
be n good thing to have presidential election
every few months. and to get Secretary Sher-
man to announce himself frequently. especial
ly If each time he alleged himself to be a eandl-
date he would buy 81 900 900 Of bonds for the
sinking fund. instead Of limiting himself, az he
declared he would do, to purchases Of 81, 900 900
a week. By this means few presidential cleo
tions would rid the country of debt
