lIttle Jag Of gold is daily growing more

little Jag of gold is daily growing more
desperate. England sells our stock
down, or dema ads interest in coin on
what we owe her. and few millions
in gold go; deadly chill seizes Wall
street and down go prices of grain and
| cotton. We force an increased export
aud pull little of the gold back; a
| shiver goes through Lombard street
| and down go American stocks in Lon
don. Sales are forced here, sterling
exchange rises, rates of interest s'stif-
fen," the banks call in loans, forced
bankruptcies follow and then we get
ready to do it all over again. But OBJ
serve where the prices of grain and
cotton are forced down it takes a great
deal more of them to pay interest on
what we owe abroad-so much more
that we fail to make it-and then more
gold must go. just now the syndicate
is holding back gold BY mortgaging
the crops in advance of IT aturity for
sterling bills, but latter the election
settlement must come and with it a
grand collapse.
And what about that 81 900, 900 of
gold imported? Well, nobody now seri-
ously denies that the import was a
trick, but it is uncertain just what kind
of trick. One opinion is that the syn-
dictate did it as an experiment to see
what effect it would have on the public
mind. Another that it was stock lob
bing device and that the tricksters un-
loaded during the short lived boom.
Nobody pretends that it was legitimate
for we all know that the present state
of the market calls for exports. The
one ever present and ever potent factor
is that we have to pay England, Ger
many, etc, at least $500, 0O0 900 a wear
over and above any 1ade balance. Eff
teen years ago it could have been paid
with 1S5, 100000 bushels of wheat in
this port. Today it will take over 3O0,-
100000 bushels Cotton is low "away
I'M" because of excessive heat and
drought in the gulf states. Still, it
will take LOCO, 900, 900 more pounds to
pay that interest than it would when
the debts were contracted.
In view of these facts the poldbup
editors ought to get together and agree
on their answers to these questions:
Will free coinage add value to silver or
leave it as it is? Will it lower the value
of gold or raise it? VIII it initiate the
currency or contract it? And most i'm
portant of all, will it raise prices or
lower them, and if so, how? Out in NV
native Indiana they are soaring the
farmers with bogy of contraction.
Here and in all other cities / can learn
of they are soaring the laborer with
the assurance that prices of necessaries
will double and his wages stand still.
and elsewhere they are bowling about
the loss of depositors in savings banks
because of the fall to ''5O-cent dollars
and the awful gains to mine overs be-
cause so cents worth of silver is to be
made dollar. And once a week or SO
in this city they agree that all danger
is over, Bryan is defeated and stocks
are to go up and Il wave of prosperity
roll over us. And about that time a
few pounds OF gold go out and down
goes their house again Isn't it dis
graceful condition for nation of TO-
900, 900?

Charles NJ. Sherman. the Chicago clubs
lawyer, had been retained by the New York
club to defend the Rusie suits. and thal
the colonel would appear at the trials to at.
tend to the base ball end. This action was
reported to the league and Mr.. Freedman
made few warm remarks, alleging thai
certain members had instigated Rusie tc
bring the suits.
Mr.. Wagner of Washington moved to re
consider the vote taken yesterday in re-
fusing to re-enact the last section of the
national agreement. Col Rogers of Phila

CHAIRMAN LAMBS CHARGES.
They Cause COnsidernb BILE Talk Among
Richmond Politicians.

Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, November 13. 1896.
An interview with Col. William Lamo,
scoring the sound money democrats for al
legged betrayal of pledges during the cam
paign. which was sent out from Norfolk
last night. has created much comment here.
Gen. T. NJ. Logan. chairman of the sound
money democrats, when shown the publi-
cation today said there was not a word of
truth in the statement.
Colonel Lamb, in the interview. declared
that it was agreed by the gold democrat
leaders that If the sixth district We're given
to them, they would make no fight in the
second. but, on the contrary. would assist
the republicans to carry the district in
every way. The gold men had promised
large sums of money for this purpose. Ac-
cordingly. Hoge was taken down in the
sixth. and the next thiIg < that happened
was the nomination OF Mr. Whaley in the
second. in direct violation of the agreement
Every dollar of the money sent here by the
gold men, he said was Used against Wise
General Logan, in reference to this state
ment. said that Colonel Lamb was ignored
by the other members of the committee in
all such matters. and that he was kept in
ignorance of the real work of the cam
paign. 1t is well known here that the man
who suffered most in the campaign was
Colonel Lamb. Although chairman of his
party. he was deprived of his power by the
other leaders of the party and. except in
name, had little to do with the conduct of
the campaign. 1t is understood here that
the republican leaders favored the with
drawal of Wise in the Norfolk district, but
colonel Lamb made a personal matter of
his candidacy and kept him in the field in
the face of almost certain defeat.
