the demonstration Of silver a yea
ago, now comes out with the follow
ing comment on the situation:
Indications multiply to the effec
that th.n London capitalists who con
troll the money markets Of the worlt
have over reached themselves in de
grading silver for the purpose OF en-
HANGING the value of their golt
property. The consumaticn they hat
in view has not materalized. Instead
of collecting what was due them in {
highly appreciated coin, they now
discover that so far as concerns a
a large class of debtors, such
as those OF India, South anc
Central America, and Mexico, they
have simply destroyed the capacity tt
pay at all by imparting the value OF
the only medium through which those
countries can achieve Solvency.
"We find in the Buenos Ayres cor.
respondence Of the London Times Of
May both, for example, the announce.
ment that business in Argentine re.
mains in state OF paralysis lowing
to the continual rise in the premium
on gold" The dispatch goes on to
tell how many brokers, merchant,
&c, failed on that day, and this leaves
us with material for very interest
ing calculation, to-wit; If such be
the condition Of affairs prevailing in
the most intelligent, progressive, and
resourceful nation of South America,
what must be the condition prevailing
in BrazN Peru, and elsewhere? Com.
ing further north, this side Of The
isthmus, we find the Central American
republics worse off, If possible, than
Argentina, and Mexico notifying the
money lenders Of Europe that IL they
persist in making silver worthless
they may whistle for their money.
''rhe United States still continues
10 settle, though with increased dis
tress and difficulty, but we have no
right to complain, since we helped to
degrade silver and gave our sanction
and cooperation to the existing
calamity. The fact remains, how.
ever, that the London fnanciers are
in fair way to become the chief vic
tins Of their own insatiate avarice.
In forcing the gold standard upon the
world they have made gold more valu-
able, 10 be sure, but they have at the
same time crippled Asia and America,
and to that extent narrowed the field
in which their money may be profit
ably employed. 1t would seem, upon
the whole, that the revolution set in
motion by the demonstration Of sill.
yer in India and accelerated by the
action of our congress last year has
been anything but beneficial to the
world at large, and least Of all to
those at whose behest it was COD.

SERVED HOT AND COLD TO
SUIT OUR READERS
What Is Being Thought, Said and Done
Here, There and Everywhere

1t is cold day when the whisky
and sugar trust don't have finger in
the public pie. By methods which
were partially revealed by commit
tee appointed apparently for the sole
purpose of withdrawing the whole
affair the sugar trusts succeeded in
securing a schedule of protective
duties that was worth many millions
of dollars to it. The whisky trust
has not been idle. The pending bill
proposes to increase the tax on
whisky from 30 cents to 81 per gallon,
and extend the time from three to
eight years. in which the distiller can
have the government keep his poison
in a bonded warehouse. After seeing
Mr.. Lindsay Of kentucky and other
senator's putting forth such deter
mined efforts in behalf of the propo-
sition to extend the bonded period
from three to eight years, and
in defense of the whisky ring, |
concluded there certainly must be
a big grab in that thing for some
body, so l put 10 work to investigate
and found the following facts; the
government now holds $4,000, 900
gallons of whisky in bond for the dis
tillers, the present tax on which is 90
cents per gallon, making sl2O,6OO, 900
now due the government by these dis.
tillers. This law proposes to extend
the time in which to pay this amount
for five years, which is equivalent to
giving the w,Esky ring the interest on
Sl20, 800, 900 lass the increase OF the
tax 20 cents per gallon. Interest on
S12O, &c., 900 at 6 per cent for five years
is $50, 80, 900, less sos, 500, 900 increase
of 20 cents per gallon in tax, leaves
50, $50, 600 net gain to the whisky ring
on this l34, 100000 now in the ware

that is to be put in bond

for her tarrying rival to clear. The
crowd cheered the bowling criers on
and at last they fell to work settling
muscularly what their voices had so

over the stone pavement, scratching

pulled the helligerents apart.
