The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-06-28

Culatl0n n0EeS Tue uduRor was very sllB w
but last year Europe began to pave the
way for the present condition by forcing
it's securities on the American m srket.
This policy has been continued to the
present time, and the early part of this
year the effect was hsstened by the with
drawal OF gold direct from the treasury.
Wait yet little while and gold will be
at still greater premium, while property
Of ell kinds, from grain to the most spec
ulative stocks, will be at an even greater
discount.
At present, the result Of the whole
series Of movements may be summed up
/ in few words. We have Europe's se-
curities and Europe has our gold. Our
securities sell for less than half what
they were worth when Europe held
them, while Europe's gold is worth rela-
lively twice what it was when it be-
longed to us. Europe could now buy the
very securities it sold us for about half
the very gold we gave for them. 1t
could return US the same Identical gold,
grain for grain, and receive in exchange
twice as much Of our property as it had a
year ago.
When our statesman shall have sue
oessHully weathered the financial storm
and this second exchange shall have
taken place, who will be the gainerH Eu-
rope will have 50 Of Americas wealth for
every dollar it owned before, and that
without the investment Of single new
dOllsr-by simply juggling with our
money.
Can any thoughtful person question
the truth Of these statementsp Can any
one deny the truth Of our statement of
the successive steps leading to this con-
ditiOnP
When you have firmly fixed this much
in your mind, ask yourself these ques
tions: Does Europe know these things?
Did Europe know all this when it first
began this movement Did Europe act
blindly unconscious Of results when it
sold our stocksP Did Europe know the
effect of drawing the gold from our
treasuryY Does Europe know the diff
ference between stocks selling at 80 cents
on the dollar aud stocks selling at psrS
Did Europe know that our securities
sold at par when it sold the first lot Of
stOcksY Does Europe know that as soon
as our gold is returned to us prices Of
these same securities will again be at
psrP To ask these questions is to ans
wer them. Then one further question
and you will be in fair way to compre-
hend the true inwRrdness of the situs-
tion. Who is meant by Europe? Not
the millions of work-house paupers, nor
the other millions Of common workmen,
nor the political governments. Europe,
in the financial sense, means oOterie Of
European bankers and capitalists. Now
do you suppose it just happened to
occur to q number Of these men to sell
Amerlcan securities without any knowl-
edge on the part OF each what the others
were doingP The fact that the only
cause for their action was to be found in
future effects which could not have been
produced by any one person alone makes
this SuppOsition absurd.
There is no escape from the conclusion
that q number Of rich capitalists acted

execute it, and thereby injure the bust
ness or person Of another, it is the worst
kind OF conspiracy. What Is the proper
term for plan that Injuries not one per-
son nor thousand, but makes q great
nation writhe in agony, and it's 100000
people suffer untold torments? Some
call it Legitimate business" but others
differ. You are at liberty to give it any
name that suits you.
Whatever the name by which you chose
to designate this "business operation" it's
effects on the industries Of this country
are the same. The fact remains that it
is within the power of few men in Eu-
rope to throw this country into panic
as often as their greed for wealth and its
accompanying power may dictate. The
experience Of the past year may be du-
plicated next year, with only this differ
ence: For every $1,OOO,OOO they had a
year ago, next time they will have $2,OO0,-
600, and can produce greater effects in
less time Our whole business system is
absolutely dependent on these men, and
their only interest lies in maintaining a
constant series Of crises. They make
their money by our disasters, and the
greater the disaster, the more rapidly
their wealth is increased. Our "6nsn-
oial magnates" and "eminent fnan-
ciers understand this matter. They
know the situation and they know
that the operations on the New
York Stock Exchange are simply
wsgers on the course these Europeans
will follow. Prices here fluctuate with
the price Of money in London, or the
foreign demand for our stocks. An edi.
torial IN the New York Journal Of
Finance, Of june 10, explains this very
we'll as will b4 seen from the following
extracts: "The period Of prosperity
should date from this time. Various
circumstances exist which tend to con-
firm this view. Money is be-
coming cheaper in London, and the in
fiuence Of this fact Is shown in increased
purchases Of stocks on foreign account
in our markets. Foreign capital .
is finding vent in our direction and
being invested in our securities.
A condition tending toward greater
stringency here would be apt to fRcili-
tate rather than retsrd it since high
discounts merely testify to the sppre-
citation Of the value Of money. +
If any increase in the amount of cur
rency Is desired, it will come promptly
enough through the operation of natural
causes, whose influence will be shown in
the return Of foreign investments, which
during the past year have been with
drawn. = y OF course money
will be dear in this neighborhood.
y Stocks will feel the influence
of costly money -"
Here is the whole matter. Foreign in
vestments hRYe been withdrawn during
the past year, and when securities are
low enough to suit these foreigners their
money will return. But in the mean
time how disastrous have been the con-
sequences to the industries OF this
country. How much suffering is indi-
Gated by the difference between the
price of securities when the Europeans
sold them and the price they are willing

State Republican League.

The state league of republican clubs held
well attended meeting at Lansing on Fri.
day last. Republicans from all parts of the
state were present. The meeting was ad.
dressed by Capt e. p. Allen, of Ypsilanti,
and Gov. Rich, both Of whom stirred up
considerable enthusiasm by their earnest
ness and predictions of bright future for

trict are: Hon. w. s. Linton, Saginaw;
Geo. Heck, Maple Rapids; Fred Slocum,
Caro-; e. D. Dewey, Owosso.
The following resolution was unanimous
ly adopted, and the republican members of
the legislature ought to take the hint:
Resolved, that the republican party of
Michigan expect the present legislature to
make, without exception, into statute law,
every promise made by the republican par
ty at the convention in Saginaw, including
the law against the acceptance of free pass

Its Mission Just Begun.

From State Republican:
After the democratic victory in this coun-
try last fall the papers and orators of that
party, with few rare and intelligent ex-
eeptions, asserted that the republican party
had outlived Its usefulness, and was already
in the thr0es of dissolution. There was never
. more foolish assertion than this, nor one
more thoughtlessly made. Defeat does not
mean disintegration unless the party defeat
ed has done its work and become bankrupt
in principles, and even then its death is often
more apparent than real. In this country
the same ideas have continued in the con-
tending parties since the foundation of the
government, though the names of the Or
ganizations espousing them may have
changed many times.
There can be no more absolute truth
than that contained in the proposition of
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, in his
article upon ''The outlook and duty of the
republican party" found in the April
number Of the Forum, that "The contend
ing parties will not die out because the diff
are based can never die."
Democracy is to-day, as it has been
for more than fifty years, toryism in dis
guise. 1t is the agent in this country of
foreign conceits and interests in opposition
to American ideas and interests.
Republicanism holds tenaciousy to the
doctrine of protection and high wages. 1t
is as firmly committed to these as it was
originally committed to the abolishment of
human slavery and the preservation of these
United States as united Nation with a big
N. j
Republicanism is synonym for advance
ment. 1T is aggressively American.
Democracy is bigoted conservatism. II |
means stagnation and retrogression.
As long as one of these exists opposition |
to 1t will live. They are co-existent. The
nation needs the republican party to-day as
urgently as it did in 1860. 1t has saved the
nation from disuniOn once, and it is the sole
champion to-day of American industrial in
dependence and sound currency. 1t is the
sole power that can successfully resist the
liked purpose of bourbon democracy to re-
duce American working men and women to
serfdom and pauperism. 1t is the only par
ty that can command respect for this coun-
try abroad. Its mission has not ended. II
has scarcely begun.
