The coiage of silver dollars was

Don't Worry.
Some Of the papers are suggesting
that the silver party will not get a
chance to vote for Bryan and sewall
because 1t is not party recognized by
the law. 1t is to be hoped that no gold
ite will become inspired with confidence
on 10 slender q foundation, and that no
silver man will permit himself to worry
over anything SO ridiculous.
A silver democrat can certainly vote
the straight democratic electoral ticket
So can silver republican. Wherever
1t 10 deemed necessary and the law will
permit. the silver party will make its
own nominations, but In naming elect
ors 1t will. Of course. select the same
men whose names appear on the demo-
cratic ticket, for they are too shrewd to
divide the silver vote. Where the law
will mot allow the same name to appear
twice on the same ballot they will vote
the straight democratic electoral ticket.
Men who believe the silver issue para
mount to all others, and who have
broken away from their party ON that
Issue. are not going to allow themselves
to b disfranchised by mere party
name.
The silver men will all vote and do
It in such . way that their votss will
b counted. Don't worry.

backs in large quantities, when called for
which 9 presented to the treasury as re-
ceived from the banks, and the govern
ment gives gold in exchange almost in
stantly, in bags with the governments seal
on, the amount being officially marked
thereon. These bags, as received from the
treasury, are put on shipboard and depart
from our country. seriously to our detri-
ment in times like these. The general
feeling in Wall street now is that the war
panic is over and that President Cleveland
will appoint as members of the Venezuelan
commission able, dignified and upright
men, and that such a commission can then
be relied upon to be instrumental in effect-
ing settlement of the Anglo-Venezuelan
boundary dispute to the credit and honor of
both countries. A settlement through dIplo-
macy will certainly make a better record
for President Cleveland and congress than
can possibly be obtained through drawing
the sword against nation of our own flesh,
blood and language. a people with whom
united we stand. divided we fall. The pres
eat contest of races is for domination. 1t
Is, therefore, all-inaportant for the English
speaking people to stand together. lit
means the spreading of civilization and
Christianity to all parts of the globe. A
war between England and the United States
would be in reality civil war. and as both
nations are brave, bod and determined in
warfare, the disaster would be beyond con-
ception, and could only result as victory
to barbarism or at any rate, a tremendous
setback TO civilization.
The financial situation now needs con-
gressional action for its repair. If a bill
were speedily passed of the following
character think it would meet the c .se.
as the government wants gold now and not
currency. The act should provide for an
issue of certificates having three years to
run, payable in gold, bearing per cent
interest, to be sold at 100 only for gold.
On such an obligation the government
could get all the gold from time to time
that it needed without any difficulty. ]
suggest a certificate in place of bond to
be issued, because it is argued in congress
that to pass an act to issue gold bonds at
the present time would be an invidious
distinction against the other bonds now
out, as they all specify payable in coin.
HENRY CLEws.

Henry Clews' Letter

New YORK, Dec 2s.-The severe break
in the stock market on last Friday and
Saturday indicated real live panic. 1t
was short, sharp and decisive. 1t repre-
sented an immense quantity of forced SELL
ing on the various steep declines which
took place on those two days. Of course a
good deal of selling came also from fright
ened holders both in this country and in
Europe, who were badly scared by the war
talk. The panic continued until the
liquidation selling and the war
scare selling exhausted itself. In
breach, as is usual at all panic
periods, and quickly absorbed the stocks
and bonds that were sold at bargain prices.
In that way Wall street was relieved of its
burden, and is in consequence, now OH a
more solid basis than before. People who
had idle money on hand have now invested
it in properties that were previously in
speculative hands on margins. Weak
holders are out and strong holders have
taken their places, thus removing any fur
ther danger to Wall street, or even a re-
newal of the panic has come and gone, and
the financial situation in consequence is
not unlike the effect of cutting off dog Is
tail--t can't be done over again.
The time has now arrived for the banks
to do all they can to protect the United
States treasury from periodical gold drains,
and they can easily do it by an under
standing among themselves-to make it
less easy for their dealers to draw green
backs from them to get gold from the
treasury. If the greenbacks, when de-
manded, are paid out in small bills over
the counter, requiring each bill to be
counted before leaving the bank. and then
counted again at the treasury, and the gold
given therefor also paid out over the coun-
ter, requiring to be counted by the re-
