ENGL.AND'S FEAR!
How Dennocracy's Success will Affect Britain.
A Most Remarkable Article That All
Americans Should Read.


bring about q change in England
that will be ruinous from itssudden-
ness and severity. The damage that
can be done British manufacturers
by a protective tariff is slight COM
pared with the disasters that would
be entailed by change from a
single gold to a complete bimetallic
standard.
"The success of free coinage will
bring down the rate of interest on
money, and cause an immediate rise
in the price of all commodities.
When silver becomes primary
money the American mines will
pour their products into the minis
and new era similar to that pro-
duced by the issue of greenbacks
during the civil war will begin.
Gold will leave the banks and enter
into competition with silver in the
avenues of trade, and the manufac-
tories which have been crippled
since 1892 will again resume their
fight for the English market
at matters not to Great Britain
which party succeeds if the gold
standard is maintained, but either
of the old parties or new party
which goes into power pledged to
free coinage will be inimical and
preiudicial to English manufactures
and trade.
"The American people are mass
ing now on free silver When that
issue comes fairly before the Amer
lean people, England will regret
her apathy and adherence to the
single gold standard"

"The financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States Congress demands the imme-
diate attention of British fnanciers
and statesmen. The trade of the
world is now in our hands, but it
will not long remain there if the
United States goes to a bimetallic
basis with free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
"With the addition &C silver to
the volume Of money, everything in
America would take on new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip of the gold standard
on the products Of the world would
be loOsened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her mar
kets in South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would
not be long in capturing the carry
ing trade OF the world.
British creditors must now apply
themselves quickly to the American
money problem. The American
people are now thoroughly aroused

The Dunmore Shooting Affray.

The affair at Dunmore yesterday
suggests few common sense thoughts.
In the first place. what has been gained
for Christianity, for patriotism or for
morals by an armed clash of rival sell
appointed champions of different
creeds? If nothing has been gained
has anything been lost?
In the second place, who would bene-
fit If these clashes should become more
numerous? To what extent could they
possibly contribute to peace and Or
der? What kind of a community would
this become if every meeting between
Protestant and Catholic should be fol-
lowed by an exchange of pistol shots!
We do not assume, at this moment
of conflicting testimony, to locate the
blame for yesterdays disgrace. In due
time this will be determined, judicially.
In the meantime, it will be good
thing for good people of every creed
to do some plain thinking, and to keep
cool.

A Game of BurlesQue

The paralysis of common sense which
has of late years become intermittently
manifest in the deliberations OF the
United States senate has seldom been
so conspicuously and yet unconsciously
exemplified as in its treatment of the
question of belligerency rights for
Cuba. A brief review of the subject
will clearly establish our point.
1t was in January that the atten-
tion of the senate was for the first
seriously directed towards the Cuban
struggle. Resolutions expressing SYM
pathy with the insurgents and touching
in various ways upon the advisability
Of formal recognition We're introduced
by Mr.. Call, Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Cameron. The result of these
various propositions was the adoption
~ the committee on foreign affairs of
a kind of composite resolution which
embraced the good features of all. This
was reported to the senate in the latter
part of February, and after an animat-
ed debate was passed by almost a
unanimous vote. The house. three days
later, went even further than the sem
ate by adopting a resolution pledsing
the government to q contingent policy
Of Intervention in case such action
should become necessary for the proper
protection of American interests in
Cuba. The vote in the house was quite
rs one-sided as had been the vote in
the senate. and both votes, despite
some Mugwump newspaper clatter,
fairly and accurately reflected the
temper of the people.
In the meantime, Spanish rioters in
Madrid and Barcelona. incensed at con-
sulates and offered indignity TO the
American flag. But so far from inllu.
encing the senate to stand firmly by its
prior action by ratifying the conference
report on the concurrent resolution. this
ebullition of passion seemed suddenly
to inspire the grave and reverend sem
ators with awe and caution. All at
once they changed their tactics. They
began to debate ancient Spanish his
tory and to split into factions over
irrelevant questions of mildewed his
torical evidence. The authenticity of
TRANSACTIONS and the accuracy of news
paper reports superseded the justice
of Cuba's revolt as the theme of dis
cussion. Perceiving his opportunities,
the Spanish minister thereupon let fly
n cunningly worded shaft, which by
raising new doubt as to past affairs
tended all the more to obscure the vital
topic of Cuba's present needs; and soon
the anomalous spectacle was presented
of the senate gravely questioning its
own action and calling for facts after
It had apparently framed and declared
a verdict. Had q Judge Of the Supreme
court paralleled the senate's course.
