THE EFFECT.

The browning act of the conspiracy
begun at Simla last spring has been
concluded and for the first time since
precious metals became medium of
commercial intercourse, silver has been
utterly debased. All are acquainted
with the causes and incidents of the
conspiracy, SO may be passed over
Englands demand that it should be
carried out. the ready acquiescence of
President Cleveland spurred on by the
moneyed classes of the east, his call for
an extra session and his effective inti-
nation to congress as to its duty. and
the long struggle which it might have
been seen from the beginning could
finally take but one course.
All this has become a matter of his
tory and the only profitable speculation
in which the people of the United States
can now indulge is as to the effect of the
removal of the last vistege of recogni-
ton of silver.
In the first place one OF the greatest
industries of the west has been para
lyzed for at least two years. The vote
upon the various amendments to the
repeal bill, leave nothing to be expected
from the present congress. The i'm
mediate effect OF the victory OF the mon
ometallists will no doubt be beneficial
and no doubt the immediate effect OF q
defeat OF the bill would also have been
beneficial.
At any rate much doubt and uncer.
tainty has been removed, and a strin'
gency believed to be largely artificial
an object lesson as Mr.. Cleveland ha:
so aptly described it. will almost GER
tainly be relaxed. Indeed assurance
was given before hand that the relaxa-
ton would take place. Less than &
week ago prominent banker of Phe
nix was informed by eastern men thai
within a month after the passage of the
repeal bill one thousand men would b.
at work on the Santa Fe, Prescott ano
Phoenix railroad.
Now that eastern capitalists arr
happy it may be presumed that the!
are also confident and that their conf
dence will find expression in the en-
couragement OF enterprises in the ives

what he meant to say.
