had not then the slightest idea what
the Chicago convention would do or
say in 1896. Since that speech in 1888
we have had a severe lesson.
when the tariff proposed 10y Mr..
Bryan and his associates was pre-
scented in the house it was certainly
n great shock to the business interests
of the country. The shock had
stopped business. Then came the in
come tax, destructive and distasteful,
so declared by the supreme cOurt;and
the attendant deficiency. That de-
ficiency and wait had been managed
and scared and frightened our people
S400,000,000 frightened us so? Be
cause the government has refused
either TO raise revenue or separate
the deficit from the redemption of
greenbacks. Had the house bill of
the last session passed congress and
become a law the country, with full
hope in a Republican administration
in the near future, would then have
started upward and onward.
I'VE must restore confidence. How
can we restore confidence? First by
putting anarchy down and all manner
of disturbances. Peace and n stable
government are the first necessities.
This is a borrowing and lending
world. No amount of denunciation
of money lenders, no wild talk about
Wall street, which by the way is the
greatest money borrower in the world,
will ever put down that fact. Enter
prises are carried ON by the united
confidence of men of money and brain.
Remember that this contest today
is not between bimetallism and mono
metallism. The contest is between
silver recommendation, which we have
not, and gold recommendation, which
we have. That subject will bear can
did discussion. This contest is also
not between the East and the West.
There can be no such contest. Our
interests are identical. With their
growth comes our growth. We can
not go on alone. We have sent our
children there. Our money is there.
No misfortune can happen to them
that does not happen to us. Every
wise man agrees that beyond the Mis-
sisSippi lies the great wealth of the
days to come. In the development of
this wealth we all are interested and
we in the East are not the unwise
men to believe that we are not con-
cerned in the progress and future of
the West Unfounded sectional diff.
ferences are without excuse and it
will be woe to those who try to use t.
The West is too observant not to find
it out and the West is too valiant a
foe to use it. What the West needs
is capital which will develop it's re-
sources. No part of this union is so
quick in restoring confidence as the
undeveloped territory.
THE South has similar interest,
but they are busy just now asserting
their rights and keeping down the ne
gro. If they could be persuaded to
look after their interests what hap.
Ply country this might be!'
In conclusion Mr.. Reed said:
These financial matters are governed
by natural laws and take their
course. Be not deceived by false
prophets. In the West they tell the
people that Maine is faltering. You
and 1 know that she was never so
steadfast. In the East they tell us
steadfast.

TO STIMULATE TRADE.
Both England and Germany Will Remodel
 Their Consular Service.

Both England and Germany VIII Remodel
 Their Consular Service.
 F WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Thomas Ew- ing Moore, United States commercial agent at Weimar, has called the at tention of the department of state to the fact that the British government has taken steps to supplement its con sular service by the appointment of commercial attaches. The beginning of this service has been noted with alarm by Englands greatest trade competitor, Germany, where an agita. tion has begun looking to the reform of the German consular service to meet England's action, involving a special education and preparation of young men for consular careers. MT. Moore attributes this agitation in both Great Britain and Germany for the remodel ing of the consular service to a percep- tion of the excellent results attending the development by the United States of system of special consular reports upon matters calculated to benefit American producers and merchants.

ABOUT 300 disciples of the Abbe Kneipp, availing themselves of privi- lege granted by the park board, turned out at an early hour the other morning in Central park, New York, and walked in their bare feet on the dewy grass. There were all sorts of persons in the little band of the faithful, but the women predominated, and seemed to take great delight in the exercise. The policeman on the beat was puzzled how to deal with the bare feet. There was some talk of arrest, but no one was molested and large crowd watched the dew.walkers until long after seven o'clock.
