October 24tll,
OUR LETTER SAID:

"The election is conceded in this part OF the
world 10 Mr.. Mckinley, and as per our recent
letters we. with others, cannot see any other
outcome to the election. We do fail to see,
however. why prices, after advancing from
l5 to 25 points or more, should go very much
higher merely because our present state Of
affairs is to be continued, which is what Mr..
McKinley's election means. No laws can be
passed. because the Senate Is averse TO so
doing, that will positively commit us, IA n
nation, TO always have gold standard. In
the event of Mr. McKinley's election, we pre-
dict a bear Christmas, and will try to remem-
ber TO call your attention to this letter at that
time"
Contrast this with the regular and frantic
appeals TO buy stocks which you have read
during the last 40 days Our letter is STAND.
ARD. In Saturdays issue we give ad-
vice, to which we say we again expect TO call
your attention in the near future.
