GROVER AND HIS CLOVER.

1t is hardly conceivable that any
sane man would want to plunge the
country into another panic. even If II
should be no more disastrous than the
one which followed the election OF
Cleveland, which was SD plainly point
ed out by the Republican press at the
rime as inevitable because of Cleve-
lands convictions on the tariff ques-
tion. The Cleveland panic came of
industrial distrust. The panic which
must ensue in the event of Bryan's
election on the Chicago platform will
be monetary panic, the worst of all
panics, because it directly and instant
aneously affects all values. The pres
emit hard times might grow harder and
still no panic ensue. But the utter
crazy fear which would possess the
business world, the controllers OF the
currents Of the countrys money cur
rency, would precipitate a panic which
would involve everybody and every
thing. The warning of 1892 went I'M

WHERE THE GOLD IS.

Nobody knows to what premium gold
would go in the event of Bryan's re
ceiving 224 electoral votes, but every
body comedies that it would go TO i
premium Immediately. A premium
ever SO small would drive it from cir
culation and render it matter of mer-
chandiSe rather than a medium of ex-
change The gold of this country is
said 10 be locked up in Wall street and
that it is not in circulation. The late
report Of the comptroller of the cur
rency shows that it is not locked up in
Wall street and that it is in sense in
circulation F'ifty-one,pe cent of the
holdings Of the western banks is in
gold. That is by national, state and
private banks west of the Allegheny
mountains. On the first day of July,
in response 10 circulars sent out by
Mr.. Eckels. the total amount of gold
held by the banks on that day was
500, 793, 1861. Add to this the free
gold in the treasury and the amount in
the country at that time was S404, AL
40, not including the gold in the 1,2239
banks which did not report, and in in
dividual pockets and hid away in safe
ty deposits and other places. The
present quantity of gold in the country
is larger than the amount at that time.
Undoubtedly the quantity, including
only he free gold in the treasury, and
these bank and individual supplies, is
nearer $500, 100000 than $500. 100000.
Mr.. Bryan's election would mean that
all this gold would disappear from the
channels of circulation. 1t would cease
to be money TO. be counted as ounces
and pounds Of gold metal worth so
much per pennyweight. The amount
of silver in these same banks is small,
comparatively, amounting to only S.
254,622, and fractional silver 81 1899,
973. The silver certificates, however,
amounted to $50, 663, 500. The fact that
over 81 per cent of the cash held by
" estern banks is gold. while the pro-
portion of gold holdings in eastern
banks is AZ per cent, and in southern
states only 33 per cent. These figures
do not indicate that the west is get
ting the worst of the scramble for gold.
In the disappearance of $5OO.OO0,OOO
Of gold from the circulation would not
indicate that the triumph of free silver
would make money plenty even if it
made it cheaper.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The Republicans are making splen
did campaign in Sedgwick county. The
| meetings are numerous and well at
tended and the speakers are earnest
and know what they are talking about
1t would be unfortunate for Sedg,
| wick county TO be found upon the
wrong side in this year of a great ma
| tional campaign, with a Pop senator,
and Pop representatives in the Kansas
Republican legislature. Sedgwick
county has two or three very import
ant interests and measures which Will
fail and fall if the delegation we send
to Topeka is not in political harmony
with the Republican legislature. Be-
sides these local interests there is a
United States senator to elect to serve
under the Mckinley administration.
No Republican, however strong he
may be for silver. can afford TO strike
his party and ticket this fall. Aside
from silver the issues are too many and
too grave to take any chances. Even
silver will be safer in the hands of the
Republican party than in these Of
conglCmerate aggregation of ineXper-
fenced ncbodys elected on that Chicago
platform Of revolution and reputation.
Silver will be at least maintained by
the Republican party as its present
unquestioned value and up to its pres
ant safe volume
The principles of the Republican
party are unchanged They are the
same that they were under Lincoln
and Grant and Garfield and Harrison.
All the silver money and all the paper
money, constituting three-fourths Of
our entire circulation, is Republican
money. The greenbacks and treasury
notes, the national bank notes and the
5000, 100000 millions of silver are Re
publican monies, put into circulation
by the Republican party, not by the
Democrat or by the Pop parties. It's
all good money. every dollar as good
as every other dollar. Nobody knows |
der free coinage of silver. It's all |
guess work. lIndemonstratable further |
than that the gold dollar would sud- |
denly become too good to circulate. |
The wise thing to do. the only thing
for a Republican to do in the present |
is TO stand by his princi
pies and by his party. That is the
only safe thing TO DO.
SO we are gratified to know that

ans, Republicans from principle. with
