The attempt Of the gold bug press to
FIX upon the Sherman Act the RESPONSE
bility Of the panic conditions Of 1898
and 1894, reminds one Of the fable OF
the eagle and the arrow, where the
deadly wound was made by the feather
supplied by the eagle itself. For in 1890
the silver purchasing clause of the Act
was introduced by Sherman himself,
who, in opposition to the proposals Of
the friends OF silver, offered this amend
ment in behalf Of the friends of gold
only. as . compromise with the alterns-
tive Of either adopting it or submitting
to q stoppsge Of all recognition of silver.
How. then, can responsibility be 61ed on
any one but themselves. This cry. that
il was the purchasing Of silver by the
Government that brought On the panic.
il true, was of their own making, even
to the forcing il upon those they now
charge with the whole trouble.
This false clamor amounts to but little,

ENGLAND's INVESTMENTS.

Gold-grabbing has touched the British
pocket nerve until il quivers. The gold
standard was all right as long as the
effect was only to increase the interest
on English investments. But since the
goose in the old silver-using countries
which laid these golden eggs for Eng
Iish gathering has begun to show symp-
toms of fatal exhaustion, the usurious
Britisher is not so certain where he
stands.
More Englishmen have been converted
to bimetallism in the last six months
than in the previous IS years since the
gold standard was adopted.
Lombard street is not only unable to
collect interest on South American and
Asiatic investments, but is in danger
Of losing a great part Of its principal.
Debtors find the task Of payment too
big for them.
England is not yet converted. There
is no immediate prospect Of English
b~imetallism. The revival there only ex.
empliies the revival elsewhere. Bimet.
allism is coming back. and when it comes
it will stay. England may share the
double standard with the rest Of the
world or not. The rest Of the world
will not wait for her.

Senator Brics has the reputation of be-

herring to this rule. A denial would in

Brice's brokers, and asserts before the

succeeded by the mutterings Of the peo-

A State election takes place in Oregon
next Monday. For some unaccountable
reason the San Francisco dailies are 90
dumb as oysters regarding the coming

The Democratic platform calls for the
use Of gold and silver as the money Of

is not the Democratic platform that the

Cleveland platform. The issue is 90

between the Cleveland silver platform

who are still in these parties. long ago,

no reason to be disappointed or to show

ton Of weakness and usually sccompa.
mics 3 lost cause.
The change now so rapidly going on
everywhere among the people in q politi.
cal way is not caused by any unde6na-
BILE or fsncied wrong, but by plain.
clear and rank injustice inflicted by
parties whose platforms were studied
to deceive people into voting their enc.
mics into place and power; and the de-
ception and false promises have become
so glaring and unmistskable that they
cannot longer be concealed from the in
dignsnt masses.
The old party leaders know this to be
the true situation, but they continue TO
keep q straight face, look wise, and talk
big and brae; but such action is rs false
as their platforms, and the thin veil ID
