WALL STREET. Y. ", March 81, 1892.
Developments abroad this week have been
quite as important as those at home The APP
continent OF a receiver for the speculative
banking house OF Murrfts & Co ends long
agony among capitalists, and is n long step
towards the final liquidation OF England's
latest financial folly. The continental crisis
which has long been pending seems to be at
hand.
The failure of the leading banking house at
ST. Petersburg few days ago, the suspension
OF Paris bank to-day. more intense financial
distrust III Spain and Portugal, and the polit-
teal complications at Berlin all point mistak
ably to a climax of the wretched condition of
financial and political affairs that has existed
upon the continent for Years.
1t Is not to be wondered at that the Ameri-
can market, no matter how sound and healthy
It may be. should stand still i'll the face OF
these events, and the others OF which they are
the precursors.
London having relieved itself of a surfeit of
securities extensive sales OF its holding of
Americans, and by so doing has flied her
bank vaults with American gold. is in po
s1tion to take care of its holdings of Argentine
securities. for which there is practically no
market at present

capitalists determine whether or not to bring

1t Is reasonable To assume, therefore, that the
minor ami l. Cal iinanc al troubles OF the con-
tinent Will be limited 10 those who are locally
responsible for them-that is, as far as the
lnisfortunes of any nation can be confred
within its own territory.
Out OF all this disorder a better and sounder
condition of affairs Will be developed by the
imperialism OF capital but the process OF

With their rulers. History repeats itself in
regular cycles: this truth is well known
among our principal men now engaged in

While they are doing this the people must

The question o tariff reform must be urged
through the organization known as the Demo

BY thus dividing the voters we can get them
to eXpend their energies in tight ng each other
over questions OF no importance To Us, excep

Thus, by discreet action. we can secure al
