market at Saturdays short session and
the sharp declines which took place in the
more active shares are circumstances
which are regarded by many shrewd
brokers Of the situation as indicating
near approach to the elimination Of the
bear operations which have been in pro-
gress over a month There is now an op-
pOrtunity for the progressional element NJ
it possesses the requite courage to carry
the decline in stocks further with view
to complete the liquidation of weak hold
ers and therefore of covering at some
profit without disputing the possibility
of a lower level of values IL is considered
obvious that technically position Of
speculation is better than it was two
weeks ago and that an early decline this
week viii be an argument to still further
strengthen the foundations for a subse-
Quent return of activity having a bull di-
rection. Saturdays bank statement
clearly foreshadows return of domestic
money markets In fact the ease may
become so great as to tend to expel gold
to Europe. This may not be regarded,
however, with alarm.

In the course Of a rather remark
able address delivered before a Re-
publican mass meeting at Franklin,
La, last Saturday, Don Cutlery Jr.,
decl: red: when the next calamity
bowler croaks in your hearing of
distressed, butchered prices, ask him
to explain Why eggs, pork, butter,
corn, oats etc. have either held their
prices substantially since 1873, or
have bettered them?" To utterly
refute this statement Of a lawyer
it is only necessary to quote the fol.
lowing statement contained in the
resolutions adopted by the New Or.
leans Produce Exchange on July IA
1896. Remember these are business
men, who know their business and
the statement made was liz the
course OF business and had DO con-
nection whatever with politics. In
this connection it may be well to
bear in mind the old Latin maxium
"Falsus in uno falsus in omnibus
False 10 one thing, false in all
things:
"That the naturally changed con-
dition of affairs, 10 relation to val
ues, during the last ten or fifteen
years, seems to call for aud necessi-
tate an entire reorganization and re.
vision of transportation rates. This
is especially true of the class of pro-
duce handled by the members of this
Exchange, and notably, fruits, poul-
try and eggs. While the average
values of these commodities have de.
creased 40 to SO per cent, no mater
ial change has been made in the
cost of transportation, and this con-
dition works great hardship on the
producers. and, 10 fact, actually bars
mach of this class of produce fro N
the market altogether"

Reckless Assumption.

Major Mckinley, the Republican
candidate for President evidently
takes it for granted that he is an
oracle whose word the people IRE to
accept without question. else he re-
CARDS them as a herd Of natural
idiots who are unable to reason and
unable TO think for themselves. Why
do we say this? II his letter Of ac-
ceptance he says:
I'm December 1892, we had the
same currency and practically the
same volume of currency that we
have now. It aggregated in 1892
2,5995 sol, and in December,
1895, So, l94,O0O,230. The per cap
ita Of money has been practically
the same during this whole period.
The quality of the money has been
identical--all kept equal to gold.
There is nothing connected with our
money, therefore, TO account for this
sudden and aggravated industrial
change"
practically the same!" Now let
Us examine a little. These figures
show that in these three years from
1892 to 1895 our currency has de.
creased 10 round numbers $l78,600,-
600. Senator Sherman who is GER
tainly sound financial authority in
the eyes of our Republican friends,
has said that $40, 900 900 is the an
nual increase required in order that
our currency keep pace with the 10.
crease Of population. Consequently
we must add to this reduced amount
Of currency the further sum Of $l36.
00O, 900 which gives as So ID 500 900
less currency than we should have
in order to maintain practically the
same quantity Of money" To this
we should also add The 1862, 000, 900
which Cleveland has added to our
bonded Indebtedness in order to en-.
rich his particular friends the gold
gamblers, which makes the Ameri
can people Just $576 900 900 poorer
than they were 8 years ago. In 9th.
er words our currency has shriveled
up about Is per cent in the past 8
years, but Mr.. Mckinley gravely
declares there is nothing wrong with
our money.

Mckinley on Silver.

Major Mckinley the Republican
gold bug candidate Tor President
made a speech at The Lincoln Day
banquet in Toledo, Ohio, on Febru
airy IL, 1891 in which he uttered the
following gospel truth:
"During all of Grover Cleyeland's
years at the head of the government
he was dishonoring one of our prec-
ious metals, one of our own great
products, discrediting silver and en-
HANGING the price Of gold. He en-
deaVored even before his Inaugural.
ton to Office to stop the coinage of
silver dollars and afterwards, and to
the end of bis administration, persis-
tently used his power to that end,
He was determined to contract the
circulating medium and demonetiZo
one of the coins OF commerce, limit
the volume Of money among the peo
pig, make money scarce and there's
fore dear. he would have increas-
ed the value of money and diminish
ed the value of everything else
money the master, everything else
the servant. He was not thinking
of The poor then. He was moi
standing forth in their defence"
Now, what was true Of the guess
ton in 1891 is true at the present
time. Then Mckinley was on the
side OF the people, and to day he is
like Cleveland standing on the side
of trusts, monopolies and gold gam
blers. just this and nothing more!

an honest, straightforward policy

with the fat money problem. Be-
cause the Continental paper monev,
the Confederate paper money and
the French paper assignates proved

striction will soon be worthless.

Pic know it. The world is suffer-

Every one who loves a fine old
house must grieve at the prospective
demolition of the Lightwood man
sion in Charleston, s. G.. This cele.
brated house was built in 1854, and
the family is now extinct. A roman.
tic interest has attached to it be-
canse the Martyr Hayne" once
lived there. Just before his execu-
ton he promised his sister that he
would come back after death to the
northeast window in the long draw
ing-room on the second floor, to see
her, but though she kept vigil there
for a long time he never appeared.
The beautiful morning room in the
house was paneled in mahogany
nearly an inch thick and beautifully
finished, but some vandal occupant
of recent years painted it. When
the Trumbells lived there each panel
was adorned with a family portrait
and the highly polished mahogany
shone like a mirror.
