CONDITIONuOF TRADE.
The Country Is Flourishing as Compared
with Last Year.

New York, May 24-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The moderate reac-
ton in the stock market last week and
this week, caused primarily by frosts
and reports of severe damage to. ce-
real crops, was followed only in part
by a corresponding check to the move
ment in general trade. Not one of the
larger grain states confirms the re-
ports of severe damage to wheat and
corn, with which exchanges have
abounded, and there is less reason to
believe in the extent of it. as currently
reported.
The most bullish feature in the wheat
situation lies in the announced restric-
ton of Argentine and Russian reports,
the reduced export ability of nearly all
the leading producers and shorter sup
plies of importing countries. Few be-
lieve wheat has touched it's highest
point on this wave. although IL is %
cents per bushel above the lowest since
the panic. This weeks record of adj
vances are as conspicuous as ever. and

Western reports are that manufactur-

IisIe. in discussing the legal ratio. as
sumes that the United States can ac-
complish no more by free coinage than
our little neighbor. Mexico, and over
looks entirely the effect which will be
produced upon the value of silver bull
ion by the unlimited use of IL in the
United States. In other words, he does
not take into consideration the fact
that the United States is in a CONNER
cial standing more than 20 times as
great as Mexico. and he does not take
into consideration the fact that an in
creased demand. such as would be fur
nished by the United States. will affect
the price of that portion OF silver
which falls upon the market. In esti-
mating the amount OF gold available
for coinage annually. he fails TO con-
slider the great increase in the con-
sumption of gold in the arts, and the
increase i'm commerce in the last 100
years. Mr. Carlisle holds out no hope
of international bimetallism, but in
sists that IL is the duty of this govern
ment to maintain a gold standard, and
thus to show that IL will cause an ap-
probation in the value of the dollar.
AT the Memphis convention Mr..
Catchings insisted that the opponents of
silver were expecting international bi-
metallism. This seeming conflict be-
tween Mr.. Carlisle and Mr. Catchings
can be simply explained. Mr.. Carlisle
believed that the government should
buy whatever silver IL needs, and there
fore might be called a 'buy-metallists.'
Mr.. Catchings is i'm favor of the resto-
ration of silver after a while. II other
nations will help us. and therefore may
be called a hi and bi metallist:' What
need is there for bimetallism If the gold
standard will furnish sufficient
amount of money. The confession that
bimetallism is desirable destroys all
argument advanced in behalf of gold
monometallism. and when one has ad-
mitted the desirability of bimetallisIn
ne must either favor the restoration
of II by the United States alone or
submit the destinies of this people to
foreign nations. 1t has been well said
that il is more dangerous to put an
English banker at the head OF our
financial system than TO have the En-
glish admiral at the head of our navy
or an English general at the head OF
our army"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various phases
of the money question, quoting fire.
quently from Senator Carlisle and an
swering his arguments by arguments
formerly made by Secretary Carlisle
or by statistics. He closed by saying
that Secretary Carlisle had deserted
the struggling masses" for whom he
formerly spoke, but that even without
his leadership they would be able TO
cast their ballots for the restoration
of the gold and silver coinage Of the
constitution and the present efforts of
Secretary Carlisle. instead of retarding
the movement, would make his former
speech familiar to the American peo-
pie and show them the danger of en-
trusting our financial policy to the
idle holders Of idle capital, or to their
representatives

NOT DISCRIMINATING.
That l. What Romero says About Mexico's
Recent Action.

Washington. May 24-Senor Romero.
the Mexican minister, said to-day con-
cerning the intention Of Mexico to de-
crease an export duty discriminating
against American capital invested in
Mexican mining enterprises. that he
was not aware that such a bill had
been approved by the Mexican con-
gress. but that as il was presented BY
the executive he believed that Il was
very likely to be approved. Senor
Romero further said that the real OBJ
ject of the pending bill was 70 distrib-
ute on the whole mining industry Of
Mexico the very high duty now levied
upon the mining Of silver. The present
mining duty Is 444 per cent unanimous.
Romero further said that the imputa-
ton that IL Is a discriminating measure
against American capital Invested IN
Mexico is utterly without foundation.
