Colorado and Wall Street.
Boston Transcript

The %stagnation of the stock markets IL
almost unprecedented. Broadly speak
ing, the aggregate of daily transactions
on the New York and Boston exchanges
Is no more than one-haIf of what II was
Il year ago. and last Tune was not An es-
pecially active period. OF course. the
Western and Southern haters OF Eastern
money ccnters Will contemplate this
prostration of speculative activity with
giee. Anything which reduces the gains
OF the robber money barons Is a gain
for the down-trodden. But how do the
Colorado opponents of the demon of stock
speculation reconcile their position with
the recent craze in cheap mining stocks.
in which they indulgedy For months
they made the printers lot a happy one.
so enormous was the supply OF stock GER
tificates turned out: all through the au-
tumn and winter they compelled the
state to hire much extra clerical assis-
porate prospects.
Stock speculation. for the time. ragged
throughout Colorado as it never ragged In
the effete East. The name of companies
with one million shares of 81 par value
was legion: as long as the public would
bite the manufacture of certificates went
on: some of the brokers made great
money in selling stocks at two or three
cents per share to Office boys. domestics
and everybody else. As one of the boom
ers remarked during a Boston visit, You
people want gold, and wen give o all
YOU want" But 1t was not gold that the
10 to l state supplied. but paper-simply
certificates in which to gamble. Perhaps
one in n hundred of the companies really
had a mtne or a prospect of one. most
of them were organized for speculative
purposes purely and simply. Some IN
terest was worked up In the East, but as
a rule investors here would not part with
their money for the two and three cents
per share stocks.
Now the boom is over; n great many
Colorado investors are provided with
good supplies of wall paper. what u
Colorado Springs boomer boasted in Bos-
ton early this year has not come to pass.
This gentleman declared that not only
would the great West reform the cur
rency of the country. but the speculative
system as well. Wal street was out of
date and Colorado Springs would take the
lead. Par values We're to be 500 no
longer. but 81; transactions would be
made in cents Tor mills) and not in dol
lars. You've got 10 come to it, this
%sanguine promoter declared, and you
might as well look pleasant over 1t"
Wall street still tands and Eastern con-
servatism remains. but the Colorado
boom-What has become of it?
All of which is OF mall Importance
compared with the demonstration that
new ideas in stocks Or in anything else.
make slow progress against h e proved
methods of experience. Authority in IN
vestment and speculative matters is not
| achieved in n day. il takes tifpe and has
to grow: and the same is true of the
mighty fabric of a national credit and
currency.

Secretary Olney shows a disposition
to press the claims of Americans In
Cuba. 1t is time. Spain is bound to
protect property and life in her PROV
ince where she declares war does not
exist and where she ssum to be in
authority. All in this country, in
anyway connected through the me-
dunn of trade with Cuba, suffer loss
enough without having their estates
ruined and their lives imperiled.
American capital invested in Cuba
amounts to about fifty millions Of dol-
lars and the losses occasioned by this
war can never be fully repaired. Our
trade with Cuba is a by no means in
significant factor and the damage to
it is great. Indemnities to make all
this good cannot be expected. But
where there are specific cases as in
that of DR.. Delgardo and the Casanova
estate ~reparation should be had.
Spain is bound by the laws and rules
governing international obligations to
make those resolutions and should be
compelled to do SO. 1t matters not
that she is almost bankrupt. She has
assumed all the responsibilities of gov
erning Cuba and pretends to govern it.
While she maintains that attitude all
proper demands upon her by reason OF
those obligations should De enforced
and the situation is such thai they
should be enforced promptly in justice
to the claimants.

Importance of Efeeting n Staunch
Republican

Our people have become firmly con-
WINGED that the doctrines of anarchy
and Reputation IS set forth in the
platform of the free silver party, do
not deserve and cannot receive the
sanction of honest citizens Equally
So, that the free coinage Of silver
would be a death-Dlow to the interests
Of this country
The masses of the people are rally
ing everywhere to the support OF Nc
kinley and the principles OF sound
money and honest government
1t is equally as important that no
mistake be made in the selection of
our governor Should Mckinley be
elected-and the result is no longer
doubtful-it is more than probable
that our state viii be honored by the
selection of Senator Davis for posi-
ton in the cabinet.
This would be a recognition Of his
personal merit and the loyalty Of his
state TO the national cause
Such an event would leave vacan-
cy in the United States senate, which
must be filed by appointment by the
governor until the next election, two
years hence. The same necessity
would occur in case of the death Of
any of our senators or representatives.
With the senate so evenly divided be-
tween free silver and sound money We
cannot afford to take any chances-the
fate Of this nation may turn upon a
single vote.
Under such circumstances. we must
make men subordinate TO principles.
We cannot afford to risk the possibili-
ty of the appointment Of silver SEN
ator or representative by electing a
free silver governor. It is the duty Of
every man who opposes the Chicago
platform and the policies which threat
en- our country to east his vote for a
Republican governor who viii be in
full sympathy with President McKin-
ley.
We cannot afford to announce to the
world that Minnesota is in any sense
in favor of repudia ton. anarchy or de-
basement of the currency.
