The One Marked Feature Is the Extreme
Dullness
The Money Rate Grows Sitter in An
ticipation of Better Business Condi-
tions After New Years Day

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The New York
Financier this week says: The statement
of the associated banks of New York city
for the week ending Dec. 26th covers but
five business days and reflects above every
thing else the listless condition incident to
the week on the stock exchange and COM
mercial circles. Despite the calls for cur
rency from this center which came in af :
ter the several large western failures. the
banks report an increase of $1597,0OO in
cash, gain of 81, ,0S0, 900 in legal tenders hav-
ing been offset by a decrease of $4S3, 900 in
specie. There was an expansion of $751;
800 in loans, which coming after the in
crease of $3,5120OO for the week previous
and the large gains for preceding weeks
shows the dullness into which the market
has fallen But the very moderate in
crease reported was made at an advanced
interest figure, the effect of business trou-
BILE in the west and the approaching Janu-
ary settlement period having, operated to

tone will show no relaxation until after the
first OF the year. In the meantime the
excess of idle money in New York grows
with every statement, the surplus reserve
OF $34, 309, 800 now reported being the high
est since Sept. Z, 1895, excepting of course
the several weeks preceding the FEBRUARY
bond laon, when the New York banks were
accommodating specie.
The. conditions surrounding these two
periods of high surplus, however are large
ly different. On Sept. 7, 1895, the loans of
the New York banks were S31 0O0, 900 high
er than at present, and deposits were $751;
000 900 lower. AS large proportion of the
loans made by. the New York banks since
election have been made on sterling eX-
change, 1t would seem that the course Of
the money market is more dependent in
part on developments affecting the price of
sterling, and a further Strengthening of
maintaining better interest rates here. At
any rate there is reason to look for this
result during the first part of the coming
year. and it Is perhaps due to these antic-
| ipations that the rate is now strengthen
| ing. although the accumulation of idle
money continues.

troubled for twenty-five years with a
severe case of rupture. During all these
years l have consulted many physi-
clans and have worn many trusses of
many kinds but without any benefit
whatever. By chance ] saw testimoni-
ais from people who were cured Of long
standing ruptures through Prof. Jos.
Fandry, Of S21 South Broadway, Los
Angeles. I made up my mind, as a last
resort, to see the European Specialist.
On August 3. 1896, 1 visited Prof. Fam
dry in regard to my case. He furnish-
ed me with his handmade Truss,
(Which is patented), with full instruc-
tions how to use it. l followed care
fully the directions, and today three
months after putting on the Fandry
Truss I am perfectly cured of rupture
of twenty-five years standing. On the
11th day Of November / again visited
Prof. Fandrey, and told him felt that
I was cured. He asked me as favor
to go before the most prominent doctors
in Los Angeles and let them examine me.
! was examined by four doctors and
they gave me certificates (Which can
be seen at Prof. Fandrey's office) that
was perfectly cured of rupture.
In witness whereof l have hereunto

Bryan's Wonderful Campaign.

William j. Bryan made the most re-
markable campaign ever known in the
history of politics in this OF any other
country of the world. He was nomi-
mated at Chicago on the 10th of July.
and since that time he has Travelled
1881 miles, delivered 592 speeches in
AT towns and cities, covering q states.
1t is estimated also.that his audiences
aggregated over 1900, 900 of people.
Until 1860 no Presidential candidate
had ever taken the stump, but Stephen
A. Douglas, who was law unto him
self and one of the ablest disputants
this nation ever produced, took to the
hustings when a candidate against
Lincoln, Breckinridge and Bell, and
traversed the country from New
Orleans to New England, travelling
5000 miles and delivering 65 speeches.
Lincoln, who was then regarded as the
only man able to cope with Douglas
Oh the stump, made no speech and
wrote no letters, except those of mere
courtesy, from the time of his nomina-
until his election. In 1864 Lincoln
and Mcclellan were the candidates.
and Lincoln delivered speeches and
travelled 45O miles. Mcclellan made 9
brief speeches in the campaign. but
did not travel at all
In 1868 Grant made 3. speeches. not
able chiefly for their brevity, and
travelled over 5000 miles Seymour,
his competitor, travelled over 1000
miles and delivered speeches. In
1872 Grant did not travel at all and
made no speeches, while Greeley
travelled over 1900 miles and delivered
70 speeches.
In 1876 Tilden made 2 very brief
speeches and did not leave New York.
while Hayes delivered 6 speeches and
Travelled about 1000 miles. In 1880
Garfield travelled 1900 miles during
the cOmpaign and delivered 81 speeches
while Hancock did not leave his head
quarters and delivered only 2 very brief
speeches.
In 1884 Blaine travelled nearly 5000
miles and delivered 1876 speeches, while
Cleveland delivered brief speeches
and Travelled but 300 miles. In 1888
Cleveland delivered 1 speech and did
not travel over 200 miles. In 1892

Glory HaIIeIuiah!

Under the above head the Philadel
phla Press thus gave vent to the JOY
inspired by the success of the sound
money principle:
Thank God, the country is safe
Everywhere resounds the jubilant an.
them of praise. The hosts of right
eousness have overwhelmingly pre-
vailed, and the triumph of right is
the most majestic and impressive in all
our history.
1t is a resistless Mckinley avalanche
The great representative of National
Honor, Public and Personal Honesty,
Sound Money and American Protec-
ton sweeps the country by mangnif.
cent popular vote and by an almost
unequalled electoral majority. It is
the grandest peaceful uprising in our
national march of progress. 1t is the
most inspiring and ennObling demon
stratlon of patriotism which the Re
public has witnessed since 1861, and in
It's splendid illustration of the saving
sense and the sure instinct of the
American people in the highest emer-
gencles 1t ranks with the two or three
crucial and decisive turning-points in
our national annals.
Mckinley carries three-fourths of the
States and three-fourths of the elect
oral vote. He sweeps everything from
the Atlantic to the Missouri and from
the Lakes to the border of Carolina.
Besides this, leaping over a small break
IN the mining camps, he has firm hold
ON the Pacific coast. UnbrOken stand
New England, the Middle States, the
Central West, the Border States, in
Guiding all the great l. cart of the coun-
try, and the most imp prtant States be-
yond the Rockies, and they leave to
the spurned champion of Reputation,
Revolution and Anarchy only a pitiful
and beggarly part of the old slavehold-
ing section and a few of the sage
brushes. The imposing uprising
crushes dishonor and shame. It
throttles the wicked appeal to class
against class. 1t tramples on the Cos
pei of Hate and all its malign evange-
lists. 1t strangles the venomous as
sault on Constitution and courts, on
law and order. 1t scatters all the
clouds which overhung the stability of
our currency and opens before us
new career of prosperity and progress.
For this sweeping triumph carries
everything. 1t not only wins the
Presidency but secures the House and
assures the Senate. 1t will give us a
President and Congress in harmony,
standing together for sound money
and for revenue legislation which will
meet the true American demands. All
the doubts and uncertainty and clogs
OF the past four years will be removed.
The first effect will be to restore con-
hdence everywhere, and the first act
will be TO fix the stability and the
standard of our currency upon firm
and irrevocable basis. With appro-
PIRATE legislation and with a great
American Administration and policy,
what greatness of development beckons
us Onward
How this matchless victory lightens
and lifts the American heartl How it
riffs all the hanging clouds and floods
the country with the golden sunshine
Of hope and promisel How, above all,
1t justifies faith in American intelli-
gence and integrity, and reafirms the
capacity of the American people for
self-government.
