DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS MEANS AN.
OTHER PANIC.

The Argonaut does not wish to be
attention of all thoughtful men to the
condition of business since the demo-
cratic convention at Chicago. The eX-
t~raordinary platform passed by that
tied States.
Immediately after the Chicago con-
vention there was a slight squirt in the
New York stock market. Such was the
Wild and d~emagogic nature Of the Chi
cago platform that it was believed that
its very folly insured the election of the
republican ticket. Since then, how
ever, rumors of populistic endorsement
The bare possibility Of the election of
the democratic ticket has sufficed to
put a Quietus on investment. 1t is true
that business has only slackened, and
as yet there is no sign OF a panic, but it
IL very evident from the alarm caused
by the Chicago platform that If the
democratic ticket is elected a panic
will at once ensue.
Since the adjournment of the Chi
cage convention, the bank o~learances
throughout the United States for the
second week In July were one hundred
and thirty millions less thar the same
week in July. 1S95-bad as business
was then. Stocks and bonds in New
York are steadily declining. The same
significant decline is noticed in San
Francisco. Here, the fall in mining
stock Is meaningless, as they rise and
fall without apparent reason. But on
the stock and bond exchange, local
sureties are steadily declining. There
are few cities in the world where the
local stock and bond market is more
conservative than in San Francisco.

WyOming's great need for protec-
ton is 20 much greater than any de-
mand for free coinage that the people

boosted the democrats bag and bag

lutely necessary IL we are to have a re-

pleasure to share in the general re-
joicing.

Governor Richards has just returned
from a trip to Colorado, and he reports
that the popanarchrats are not going to
have everything their own way in the
Centennial state. Mckinley clubs are
being formed with large memberships
and there are other indications that
Waiteism will not be reasserted with
unanimity. The Denver papers are a
unit against Mckinley. but then Dem
rel has been carried before against the
united opposition of the press of that
city. Denver editors are so used to

fallen off six points; Spring Valley

Edison Light and Power stock has fall

Altogether. the general uneasiness
in business circles caused by the fear
of democratic success is becoming
rather alarming. The gold reserve is
falling. AS we write. it is ten millions
of dollars below the hundred million
mark. Yet there was shipped abroad
on the day before only about a quarter
of a million. This would seem to show
hat all of the gold is not going to
Europe, but that it is being boarded
by the people of our country. There
are other facts which would seem to
prove hat this is true. Never in the
history of two safe-deposit companies.
in San Francisco has there been such
a rush for boxes as during the past few
weeks. This is a curious community.
The people of California are exceeding
ly prone to speculate in all sorts of
gambling schemes. such as wildcat
mining stocks. On the other hand,
they are extremely susceptible to finan-
cial dcpressions. In 1893, when the
democratic panic was at its worst, the
bankers of this city said that the safe
deposit boxes were filled with coin. 1t
is their belief that a similar movement
is in progress now.
