CONFIDENCE SHAKEN.
Over cautious people are placing gold
in hiding and are resorting to various de-
vices to keep 1t In safety against the pos

stance: Mr.. Benjamin Haywood, treas
urer of the state Of Pennsylvania, in
city of Toronto within the past two weeks;
that he there met Mr.. Garsides. of the firm
of Garsides & White. wholesale merchants
and capitalists, interested In banking in
Canada. Mr.. Gars!des informed the state
treasurer Of Pennsylvania that since the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan there has been
deposited in the Toronto banks over $780,
600 in gold by citizens of the United
States; that the banks were informed that
the money was placed there for safe keep

in taking deposits; that the same was true
of the banks in Montreal, Quebec ard
other Canadian cities. This is the first
time in the history of the United States,
so far as know, when her citizens took
their gold currency Of the land to a for

the depredations expected to be made by
their fellow citizens at home.
