NEW YORK MARKETS.
The stock Exchange.


New York, March 30.-The stock market
today made a substantial Increase in ac-
usity over recent records. The dealings
were professional. but a more confident
tone was discerRibie. despite a further ad-
vance in exchange rates to the figures
at which il had been previously estimated
that gold could be shipped without loss.
To an extent engagements Of the precious
metals In payment of our debts abroad
have been delayed owing to a reduction
today by the Bank OF England la the open
London market Of a penny per ounce in the
price of bar gold. This reduction post
pones the expected advance by the treas
ury department at Washington City in
the premium on gold bars. In the treas
ury circles and among bankers it Is con-
sidered practically certain that second
- per cent. call on the depository banks
will be made this week. The opinion row
prevails that exports of gold viii be de-
ferrsd until Saturdays steamer. No gold
bills were in the market today, and, while
the supply Of commercial bills continues
exceedingly light. the demand for the ex-
change Is only moderate. The increase In
business In stocks Is ascribed to a change
OF front on The part OF the leading spec
ulative interests, and rumors We're cur
rent today OF rather heavy coverings OF
shortS In the Changers and other shares.
A rally In the Changers was attended by
corn, and the more satisfactory condition
Of the iron industry and the reported for
nation OF a powerful combination for the
maintenance OF rates as well as encourag
ing traffic returns for February had
strengthening influence. The general mar
.ket moved irregurlarly. Material gains
We're scored in some instances. London
traded on both sides Of the account TO
moderate extent The closing was firm,
at a slight concession from the top level,
but with fractional gains on the day gen.

rifles were strong and higher on Increased

The Massachusetts club, of Boston
Is a veteran Republican organization.
composed OF eminently solemn, wise old
gentlemen, each one of whom traces
his ancestry in an unbroken line +o
that deluvian who assured Noah that
in his judgment there was not going
10 De much Of shower as Noah f1oated
serenely by in his ark Indifferent to
the dimensions Of the storm. These
sedate venerables went out to their club
house on Lake Quinsigamond ard took
the affairs of the nation into serious
consideration on the ninth day Of the
present month. The weather signals
showed an area Of extremely low finar.-
cial barometer central at Chicago and
moving easterly, but it did not disturb
these equable gentlemen. 1t was only
little western wind, a Kansas
zephyr out on bender, that will blow
itself out before it reaches Lake Erie.
And so they proceeded to consider ard
decide what the Republican party must
agree to do before the rse-strings of
the East will loosen.
They were quite unanimous that the
only real question at issue and involved
in the contest is protection by taxation.
The gentlemen who sat around the
council table and spoke all said SO. The
letters they received from absent mem
bers were very clear that, as the Re-
publican party had always been Sound
on the currency" there was no need
OF its now saying it was going to
be sounder and that ''the real issue is
to restore the protective tariff" As
each one recalled the diminished divi-
dends from his mills and factories be-
cause his power to loot had been les
sened. he assented emphatfcaIly to this
view. Senator Gallinger, who halls
from New Hampshire. but, ancestrally,
belongs to this club, asserted with con-
fidence that there would not be much
OF a contest over the currency" Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Halle argued
that there could be no good currency
without good business and there could
be none Of this without q good stiff
tariff
But there was one man there who
had been through the Hoosac tunnel.
perhaps still farther West, President
Mendenhall, of the Worcester Poly
techntc institute. His pedigree evil
deLtly did not entitle him to member
ship in the club. IL his Republicanism
did. He was the only one In the COM
pany who had no tariff binders on.
He told them very plainly. that there
are graver questions pending than the
tariff or even the currency. He was
confident Mckinley would be elected,
but .'he will have to face questions

more difficult than have been taken up
by any president before. The disease
Of the body polite is very mysterious.
but it is certainly serious and not so
easily understood as some Of the great
problems of the past, All of which
shows that the president Of the Poly
technic has been using his eyes and

members CT the club have been con-

Of the symptomssc the disease Is a

WANT A NATIONAL TICKET.

The Democratic party of the United States
wants national ticket. 1t stands today con-
fronted by the evil vagaries of Populism:
the insincere candidate and abhorred protec-
ton theory or Republcanism, or the alter
native of folding its hands and standing idle.
certain that whatever comes out of the condi-
tons will be bad. Democrats cannot partake
in the sacrifice of national credit and honor
which would follow the supremacy of the Chi
cago platform. They cannot aid in the over
throw Of principle which has grown dearer
to them the longer and harder they have
fought for it, by consorting with Republicans
and 1t is not in their nature to sit inert and
silent when their voices and votes are needed
to protect the nation and maintain the life
Of their party. Democracy wants a national
ticket for the sake of national honor and
sound politics as a rallying point for its misled
followers when their dementia shall have
passed away.-LaCrosse Chronicle.
The platform Of the Chicago convention does
not meet with the approval of the entire
Democratic party. and will to a great extent
be repudiated. This does not mean whole
sale converts to McKinleyism, but rather the
placing in the field of sound-money Demo-
cratic ticket by the defeated portion Of the
party-Eau Claire Leader.
Among many other questions which will be
found difficult Of adjustment as between the
men who ran the national convention at Chi
cago and the recalcitrants who threaten to
place another ticket in the field. that of who
should properly claim the time-honored name
of Democrat. The call for the convention was
In the name of the national Democratic party
of the United States. and the name was re-
tanned straight through. Although the plat
form and nominees are Populistic, even Dor
dering on anarchism, the leaders closed UP
the business as Democrats and went their
several ways. The elements of dishonor and
disorder took possession of the convention,
trampling all the principles held sacred and
dear by old-time Democrats and actually
captured the party name, and it becomes the
followers and disciples of Jefferson and Jack
son to realize the sad and solemn fact that the
Democratic party, as known to history, has
ceased to exist.-StilIwater Gazette.
The Republican Populists of the Southwest
and the free coinage delegates of the South
ern states. trampled upon e-honored prece-
dents, ignored the counsel Of distinguished
Democrats. discarded principle. and nominated
Nebraska Populist for president. Such folly
absolves self-respecting Democrats sharing
responsibility. and leaves them free to act
independently of existing political condi-
, tions-Prairie du Chen Courier.
The si,verites may succeed in dishguring
the Democratic party this year, but they can
not kill it. An organization which could
survive the conditions under which 1t lived in
1872 is immortal-Prairie du Chen Courier
