More Than n Coincidence.

The shipment of nearly Sc, 600, COX
gold to Europe last week is an EN-
phatic reminder to the Republicans
that in booming Mr.. Mckinley for the
presidency they are playing with fire.
There is widespread and growing dis
trust of the Ohio candidate in finan.
cial circles, distrust that finds ample
justification in his dubious record on
financial legislation, and his suspic,
ious attitude on blmetallism as defined
by himself in the currency plank OF
the Ohio platform.
By last weeks shipment, the gold
drain is raised TO total of 50, 800, 600
since the present movement set in. OF
this amount 81, 300, 600 has come since
the beginning of the month; in other
words, it has been coincident with the
recent political developments which
have brought Mr. Mckinley within
touch of the nomination. His friends
herald him as "the advance agent of
prosperity" but, so far, the nearer he
GETS to success at st. Louis, the great
er is the outflow of gold and the deeper
the depression of business.
