The editor Of Our Animal Friend in

nrs,yrss TIDE HAS TURNED.

New England contemporary says
n,ot oboth sentiment ard fact continue

NO doubt about that. One OF the best
evidences that It IS a fact is that the
conviction Of our New England con-
temporary IS shared by leading papers
Of the country Of all shades OF politlcai
onin,on. and OF most divergent Vows
on economic questions. Here ana t"e'e
We find a contemporary that IS IKE oei-

course these contemporaries nurse

country by and through-the low tarih'

cratic and Independent Republican, as
well as the Radical Republican jour

buoyaucy and confidence.
The sentiment in the case is that II

means that the fight for business reyi-
val is half won. and the facts in the case

sentiment mean the battle viii be
wholly won. What are the facts We
have practically reached the end OF the
tariff agitation, and have a foundation
OF certainty upon which TO make our

q much more sangulne feeling IN the
Investment market than there has been

railroads and the employment Of mora

THE PANIC OF ~.
How II Was Cured-Act Of Congress
Relative 10 Foreign silver.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
\ few months since the Sunday Rich
mond Dispatch had a very interesting
that prevailed for so long a period after
the celebrated panic Of 1897. 1t interest
ed me greatly, and l determined 10 IN
vestigate the subject. l did study it, /
think with profit, and l propose TO give
briefly the important result Of that in
vestigation. Every student of finance
and political economy who wishes to rea-
son from cause to effect would like to
know when prices did rise after that
great panic, and the cause OF the rise.
II was undoubtedly one Of the most
widespread and distressing panics that
ever occurred in the history Of this
country or, indeed, of the world. up to
that time However, it did not begin 10
compare with the panic which has ex-
listed in this country since me Unioitu-
nate repeal OF the Sherman bill i'm 1893.
nor with the panic OF 1873, occasioned d.
rectly by the fraudulent decentralization
of silver. Still. IL was terrible era OF
financial depression, ana its study Is
peculiarly interesting because it occurred
while bimetallism was in existence. Be

cured IL completely i5 less than six
months from the time IL werr into ef-
feet. il Is proper that should state the
cause. which all writer's admit.

The tariff bill is now with the Senate
The question is upon agreeing to the re-
mort of the Conference Committee The
House having already taken favorable
action upon this report IT only remains
for the Senate to follow suit, in order
that the bin may be enrolled AND sent
70 the President for his approval.
But we are advised that the Senate VIII
not be hurried as the House has been.
Mr.. Morgan yesterday gave notice that
the measure is to be fully discussed De
fore the Democratic members Will agree
that the vote shall be taken. The sena-
TORS may now get even with Mr. Reed.
That autocratic gentleman was quoted as
saving. when the bill was before the
Conference Committee and after he had
instructed the Houses cOnfeTees as TO
their duties. 81 won't De bulldozed.'
This was a very significant challenge
IN the senatorial conferrees from him,
who does all the bulldozing that is done
I'm Congress. and we cannot but believe
the senators have not forgotten IT, How
,,,or that may be- the iniquitles OF the
conference report will be pointed out in
the Senate. and we are glad that that is
n be done. Much as we wish for haste
I'm this matter, we cannot but rejoice
that opportunity will be afforded 10 Dem
ocratic members to show the country
how the Sugar Trust and Mr.. Aldrich
have "euchred' Reed.
Reed allowed his men to agree to a
"comoromise" which is as good as, If
not better than, any schedule heretofore
proposod. The effect of this "compro-
mise" has been to boom sugar certil-
Gates immensely. 1t has been worth mil
lions to Havemeyer & Co. Yet Reeds
newspapers are claiming that the coun-
fry is indebted to him for defeating the
lSenate's schedule" Heavens. what 4
weight Of obligation we are under!
If senators will now set themselves
TO work exposing the fakes and frauds
of the bill. instead Of discussing the
tariff question academically, we venture
TO say few taxpayers will object. Let
the senators turn on their N-rays and
expose all of the blackness of the bill,
and then allow it to be passed and
hurried TO the White House. But it
is one thing to expose the true intent
and purpose of the measure, and an
other TO indulge in long, tedious, dull
speeches going over the tariff subject
from the year to the present day. The
one course would be admirable. the
other would be detestabe
We suppose the report will be adopt
ed by the Senate in the end. There is
said to be some doubt as to this, but
we cannot think so. All of the power
and patronage of the administration Will
be used TO press the bill through, and it
is seldom that such influences fail.
