Who Would Suffer.


Among the news dispatches from
New York last week was one that re
lated the way in which two shrewJ
spectators won So, 1000 They attended
the Bryan notification meeting. When
they saw the people leaving in crowds
they foresaw what the impression
would he upon the financial world;
that it would give assurance Of the de
feat of the silver craze and strengthen
values. Accordingly when they left
Madison Square garden it was to hunt
~, a broker and buy 10000 shares o.
stock to be cabled at once to London
The following day the London market
took a ;ump and they realized hand
that the Bryan meeting was ire
mendous success they would have rea~
>onel that the market would take 4
downward turn and would have ar
ranged to profit equally in the slump
that they did in the rise.
This circumstance serves as Very
clear illustration of the fact that spec
ulators and men with capital and op-
portunity to control it and saGacity t.
foresee profitable ways i'll which to u.s.
it are the ones that profit by such
changes as would be brought about hy

stance They would not be the ones
to suffer from 50 cent dollars.
As the prices of allarticles cannot risC
equally in event of free silverthose deal
irg articles the priceof which rises first
will win in the game. those in articles
rising last will lose. for meanwhile
they will be paying more for what they
buy and getting no more for what they
sell. Among this latter class Will b.
found the wage Garner This all may
know to be certain for always III tho
history of the world wage workers
have been the last to receive the highe,
price due to an imitation of the cur
rency. Another thing equally certain
is that the producer rather than the
middleman. the Spectator, the capital
list or the monopolist will be the one to
suffer. His attention is devoted to his
work He is not at leisure to scan the
markets. as 4 rule he has not tho
means to remain idle until he may see
a favorable turn in the tide. On the
contrary he must take things as he
finds them from day to day. He is not
usually great debtor. so that de-
preciated currency would afford him
little advantage from that source. And
just so much as a dishonest dollar
would afford dishonest advantage to
the debtor it would, of course

Ought TO Shame Americans.


Even poor, bankrupt Newfoundland
is boycotting American money, for fear
lest we go to the silver basis. This Is
one of the things that ought to go to-
wards heaping up majority mountain
high against Bryan in November. From
very shame the American people should
show the world that they intend to
keep their money as good as that of
Canada or Newfoundland at least.

The speech of Lord Russell on In
tcrnational Law before the American
Ear association was not, perhaps, as
hopeful of permanent arbitration be-
tween England and the United States
as many would wish, but it was friend
ly in tone and designed to promote the
hest of feeling as well as cooperation
to secure the benefits of the widest APP
arbitration Moreover it is apparent
that his expression of sentiments re-
lating to the subject reflected the SEN
timents of the more conservative En-
glish people which accounts for the
caution noticeable in the address.

THE IMPERIAL DECREE.
Emperor William Commemorating the Es-
tablishment of the German Empire.


Berlin, January 1S.-Emperor Will
liam has sent an autograph letter 10
Prince Bismarck EXPIRE sing his graft
tude for the la.ter's service in the re-
establishment of the German empire
and inMmating His Majes,y's intention
Of having l:fe-size full length portrait
of the Prince painted as a lasting SOU
yenir Of his memorable effects in be-
half Of both the Emperor and the en-
pire, and to assign the picture a place
of honor in the imperial gallery.
Hi. Majesty has presented to Baron
Won M..tnach-, President of the Coun-
ell of Ministers of Wurtemburg a bust
Of his grandfather, Emperor William l.,
and TO DR.. Stephen bust of himself.
An extra edition Of the Reichsan-
zeiger to-day publishes in honor of this
day, the 25,h anniversary of the re-es-
tablishmeGt Of the German empire, The
imperial decree which was forestalled
yesterday by the Socialist organ Vor-
waerts The decree grants amnest.es
to offenders whose sentences do not ex-
coed six weeks imprisonment or $50
marks fine. Those only are excepted
who are gully of insulting their su-
periorS, i'll Treating their interiors or
DISCRETION.
The rescript begins with the remark
that the Emperor intends also TO par
don military offenders, and It is there
fore presumed that the imperial par
don will be extended to civil offenses
and cases Of conviction on The charge
Of Lese Majeste.
The Imperial decree further an
nounces the foundation of a new Prus-
san order, the William Order. which
will be conferred upon men and wO-

expected that THE RESI- will be paved.
With The advent of spring there Will be
a fine electric light pant erected IN tha
city, the franchise having been granted
some time ago and some Of the con-
tract5 for the erection of the plant hav-
ing been let Besides all the things
mentioned above there are many nat
ural advantages. The city is supplied
with natural gas in plentiful quantities,
has good railroad facilities in dhe Ohio
River railroad and good shipping facil-
titles IL khe river ZOO.
There is a good vein of coal at q very
shallow depth underlying all rllis part
Of The country and by this i. will be
seen that should gas play out in time TO
come ia would be a very easy matter 20
gat coal. The city is thu centre of
great part of the surrounding country
and does great bushes: with the far
mers.
There are one or two things in the
way of manufacturing plants that
would have exceptional facilities here
and these are tanneries and wood work
ing establishments. There is any
twice IS size in the country or any 0tner
part CT the county which could be got
zen at a nominal cost and establish
menEs of that sort would flourish in
Sisteryil,e like a green bay tree.
II is doubtful if there is a town in the
Ststta that has more money or does more
business of twice the size Of Sister,
Vile. There are many millions OF dol
lars represented here and every year
there Is hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of business done. The city now
has three banks, two of them National
Banks and the cher a private one, and
all of them have as much business as
they can attend 10.
That Sis1arsviIle is destined Ito be one
of the ,argest and busjaa. towns in the
State there Is now no question and
everything tha1 can be done the resi-
