prosperity, and we believe that the cleo
ton OF Mr. Bryan last year would have
made the condition much worse than II
is. But we do believe most sincerely. AND
the history OF the country and It's mag
nificent resources are the ground work OF
that belief that prosperity will return In
due time I'm spite of the tariff. which
we believe to be detrimental to he best
interests OF this country.
We believe also that the good day is
deferred by the continuous agitation OF
political questions which affect business.
As Mr.. Hill says, It is in such times as
these that demagogues thrive, and thev
seize upon the evil conditions 10 make
capital for themselves. Prosperity means
the death blow OF BryanJm. and the
followers OF Mr.. Bryan, some Of them
innocently and some OF them designedly.
are engaged in a campaign. whose inevi-
table result is to shake confidence and to
prolong the season of depression.
But in spite OF the tariff and the agi-
tation OF free silver and the system OF
currency which now prevails. there must
and will be a reaction. and we shall have
once more prosperous times in this
country.
Senator Daniel himself, in his splendid
Grafton delivered in Washington on Mon
day last. declared his belief in the bel
ter day TO come. and even Jerry simp-
son. who spoke a few days ago cl the
same subject. while deploring present
conditions, wound up by saying that
prosperity would return after many DAYS.
AS for Virginia, we have closely S"an-
ned the papers that wee publish Cd
throughout the various section CT the
State last week. and from al quarters
we learn that the crops are excellent
and bid fair at this time TO yield an
abundant harvest. The wheat crop. which
has for the most part been gathered
Is said to be one Of the best that VI
ginia has ever srowl. and all other
crops are in excellent condition.
in Richmond there most decided
feeling for the bettec. and business men
generally are nose hopeful. or course
we must expect dull business throughout
the summer season, but there Is good
ground for the belief that when the fan
trade opens up. there will be a marked
Improvement. We repeat what we have
several times said of late. thac. in cur
opinion. those who have confidence IN
their city. and VINO will seize upon II
good opportunities now offered for IN
vestment. will in the end profit by their
good judgment. and line their purses with
money.
Let us once get rid OF the idea that
good times are to be brought about by
legislation. and once get firm hold upon
the idea that seed times are to be
brought about by confidence. and by the
individual effort of the citizens Of the
republic and good times will soon be
with us.

T,MuaNY,S BAD MANNERS.

Tammany Hall gave TO the country
shameful exhibition of bad manners on
Monday last, when 1t Kissed the reading
Of Mr.. Cleveland's letter.
If Tammany had not wanted to hear
from Mr.. Cleveland. it was certainly m
der no obligations to invite him TO be
pI osent and to make speech On tho
occasion OF its Fourth Of July celsbra-
ton. But It did invite him, and Mr..
Cleveland wrote polite note, in which
he stated that his engagements did rot
permit him TO be present.
There was nothing whatever In this
note Of an offensive character. On the
contrary 1t was expressed in language
that was altogether respectful and par
Iiamentary. But when 1t was read the
whole room reverberated with Kisses,
and an invited guest was thus publicly
insulted.
Such an exhibition was a disgrace to
Tammany.

selves as we owe It TO them. to reciprio-
cate their kindly feeling and to make 1t
with them.
We believe that the great body OF the
American people are animated by friend
ly feelings towards England. and we also
believe that II our jingoes ever succeed
I'm raising any serious issue between the
two countries that this friendly DISPOSE
ton Of Americans will manifest itself in
demonstrations that will quickly end all
danger OF serious trouble and that will
show the dsturbers OF the peace that,
in spite OF all OF their noise. they are but
an inconsiderable fraction of the popula-
ton at last.

RATIO OF SILVER.
Now Thirty-Six, Instead of Sixteen
to One.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-"The bull
lion of American silver dollars, ac-
cording to yesterdays market prices
of silver is just 43.6 cents,'' said Mr..
Preston, the director of the mint to-
day.
This makes the commercial ratio
between silver and gold 1866 to 1, in
stead of Is to L." continued Mr. Pres
ton. In order to make our silver dol
lar equal to gold dollar at this rate
it would have to contain $50 fine
grains of silver. If the alloy were
added, the total would be 953 grains
How do you account for the re-
cent decline in slver?' Mr.. Preston
was asked
Simply the lack of demand for it. |
see no future for silver whatever. Yes
terday's market quotations made it SO
cents an ounce. It is my honest opin-
ion that within six months silver will
fall to 40 cents an ounce There is
no demand for it anywhere. China is
not buying any, Japan is out of the
business, and there seems to be no de-
mand for it in any country to any ex-
tent, even for use for subsidiary coin
age. The output of gold is steadily
increasing. / think that the world s
product for this year will be about
$40, 100000. The United States will
contribute about $60,00O,OOO to the
supply. I base my predictions of an
increased worlds output upon the fact
that the supply has not fallen off in
any country. Here comes the Klon-
dyke now with still further additions
to the gold supply of the world. The
extent of the Klondyke output is prob
lematical depending largely upon eli
matte conditions"
