The Sherman law has been kept on the stat

who was then chairman Of the Was and

Why should this great Nation. whose wealth

nations by financial policy which may well

Three months ago, when President Clcve-
land came i'll, business was large III volume
and highly prosperous. The outgo of gold,
which had begun the very month he was
elected both indicated and created some APP
prchenson but the business world was dis
posed to extend t. him gcneIon, confidence and
support. Banks loaned several millions Of gold
TO the Treasury for legal tenders, and net eX-
ports Of gold fell off to ~ 500, 900 in March,
Everybody knows that there has been great
change. Gold exports rose to Sis. 0OO. 900 in
April, and last week alone were $500 600
Business is no longer large or a salts
factory. Failures have multiplied and assumed
serious importance. a great many works have
stopped, and many others are preparing TO
close Wheat and corn have dropped about
cents each, and cotton nearly a cent, in spite
of official indications Of short crop. Rail
road stocks have fallen an average Of $40 per
share and trust stocks S23 30 per share in two
months.
Happy Is the Democrat who can persuade
himself that the change Of National Admin
istraion had nothing 10 do with this trying
change III business. But no statement OF the
situation is faithful or candid which does not
attribute t, the Administration itself a large
proportion OF the evils now experienced. Some
censure its policy, and some its want of policy,
but the trouble goe, deeper. The President
