MAYOR GRANT AND MIR. BRYAN.

ON the day after election we remark
ed that Hon. william J. Bryan woniu
not get much personal comfort out Oh
the result in New York. Former Mayor
Grant emphasizes that fact IN recent
interview with the New York journal
Most of the George men were enthusl-

this year Every suggestion OF MS
words or acts was to our disadvantage
The secretary of the Democratic Ma
tionai Committee, who is presumably
very close TO him in sympathy repudl-
ated the candidacy Of Judge van Myck
on the ground that Judge van NyOh
did not stand upon the silver plank OF
the Chicago platform, and gave to MT
George whatever support he had TO
give, although Mr.. George had distinctly
repudiated the silver theory.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan and the
secretary of the National Committee Is
that they cannot adapt themselves 10
changing conditions They insist upon
following certain theories and in dlsre-
garding peculiar conditions of life. which
must affect the influence OF those the
cries in the various parts Of the coun-
try.
Tammany has 1t in for Mr.. Bryan and
will settle accounts with him one OF these
days.
We have been amused too az some OF
the extreme silver papers in this State.
When Tammany refused TO recognize
silver" these papers denounced Tam
many in bitter words and eulogized to
the skies the forces of Henry George.
But where Tammany won, 1t was a
great victory for silver.

meeting that 1.-THE result Of the recent
campaign shows conclusively that the
South will again drift back TO the De

long period OF exclusion from the bless
ings and benefits that flow from a single
standard Of money and involable per-
Torrance OF contracts just as they are
made. They will learn. some Of these
times. that these are the absolutely es-
sential conditions TO true prosperity. and
perhaps they will then turn their back
upon the destructive theories of Populism
and again tie their faith to the real prin-
cipes of sound Democracy.

THE GOLD SUPPLY.

The stock Of gold in this country IA
been rapidly accommodating Of late yeaI 5
and is now the largest ever known. n
October LIST it was S7I9, go. AZ. and sin' &c
then has gained sl70O7e making ne "
record of $7296sl. 2lO or this sl53,513I IS

coin or gold certificates against coin in
the treasury.
To show how our gold supply has gro rn
we call attention to the fact that on
January /. 1879. the gold belonging TO he
treasury was S11i. $780, and that in ar-
culation was Sl17.452.IsO. making a to tai
Of s2Si.si5. 400 against s729 Col .2lO at rrVs-
ent. Thus in eighteen years this coul TRY
has gained s49S.O5 20 in gold. $3.50 i.saI
OF which belongs to the public.
Yet Senator Daniel tells his hea rers
that there is not enough gold in the
United States ito fill the teeth Of re
gold bugs"
The amount OF money OF all kinds IN
circulation reached high-water mark On
November 1st It was sl,7O6. 732.9Oi, . ner
capita circulation OF 1888. yet the gtvo-
Gates Of free silver are constantly pro-
claiming that this country is grad la'ly
going to the dogs because OF the gre1t
scarcity OF money.

THE NATIONAL SOUND MONEY
IElGI-E

IL was well that the Executive Com
mittee of the National Sound-Money
League should have met in New York
on Tuesday, and that they should have
given as much publicity as possible to
their action The members attending the
meeting were men whose names are We'll
known in connection with successful BUSH
ness enterprises. and, when It goes out
TO the world that men who have been rs
successful as these men have. declare SOL
emily TO the people that The condition to
success in business is inyiolable regard
for contracts just as they are made, and
that there cannot be an ilviolable regard
for contract unless the standard by
which their obligations are measured is
tacredly preserved one and the same
at all times, the public mind, however
unwillingly, is inevitably impressed by the
fact.
We are glad, therefore, that this COM
mittee proclaimed TO the people that
1.-The commercial necessities of the world
have demonstrated that a dual standard
is commercially unacceptable, and in the
present stage OF civilization impossible.
1.-THE hour has come, IL seems TO us.
when a national recognition Of this fact
Is necessary. The situation demands a
definite, clear. uneQuivocal declaration
that bimttailism Is q dream OF the past
The United states must proclaim their
acceptance OF worldwide fact and plant
themselves finally on the single GOLD
standard.

position Will quicken our commerce, In

Al the tobacco fair in the town OF
Winston. n. c.. the other day Colonel j.
c. Carr. OF Durham made an address in
which he spoke OF "the apparent s;rug-
gle between the country and the town
and begged the rural citizens and the
denizen OF the town to remember that
their cause was one and that there was
no occasion for strife between them"
We quote from a report IN one Of the
Winston papers and arc sorry that we
have not been able 10 see the full text
OF Colonel Cars remarks on this parti-
cular phase OF the subject. One thing
Is very certain. that in order TO secure
this unity OF action where there is unity
OF interest II Is necessary that the men
IN town and the men in the country shall
deal directly with one another and shall
have frequent conferences as TO what is
best 20 promote their mutual good.
II IL the loose leaf market that brings
the farmer and the tobacco dealer closer
together. II the tobacco which Rich
mond handles IL bought in the Interior
markets and shipped through middle men
- this market, the Richmond dealer and
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1897-11-11

the planter can never know each other
In the transaction.
This we think Is most unfortunate.
We believe that Richmond ought to deal
"A largely as possible directly with the
nlantcr. not simply that II may thus
get its supply Of leaf tobacco from first
hands. but that the merchant may cul-
tlvatc business relations with the plan
ter II we can get the planters inter-
estea In the Richmond market and get
them TO sell their tobacco here, by and
by we shall have them either coming
here in person or sending their orders
here 20 purchase their supplies. And go
a two-fold object will have been accom-
plished.
II is most gratifying TO us to hear
from cur tobacco friends that the arti-
Giles which The Times has been printing
on this subject are doing good. but as
we have so often said. talk will accom-
pilsh nothing OF itself We are trying
20 arouse the tobacco men of Richmond
to action, for we believe that If they
will put n little Richmond snap into this
movement, they can build up in this city
one Of the greatest loose leaf markets
in the world.
The tobacco fair at Winston last week
was a great success and there was a
magnificent display Of leaf tobacco On
the warehouse floors. Farmers from al
parts OF the country drove in to see the
show and the town was full OF buyers
from other markets who greedily TOOK
I'D all the handsome offerings. The
farmers were not only pleased with the
premiums which they received on their
tobacco, but were pleased with the good
prices which the tobacco brought ana
the winston market had a splendid adj
vertisement
Tobacco fairs have become so com
mon that we are not certain that such
an entertainment would be success In
Richmond. but we do believe that some
such scheme as this by which planters
and buyers could be brought to this city
would be worth our while.
Pardon homely anecdote for we think
there IS a point in it. A man who had
lost a mule offered reward for its re-
covery. Many people searched in vain.
but an idiotic fellow in the community
finally succeeded in bringing the mule
home and getting the reward. The
owner was greatly surprised at the sue
cess Of the dull lad and asked him how
in the world he managed to do it. The
lad replied that he had gone TO the point
who're the mule was last seen and stand
ing there and looking in all directions, he
asked himself which way he would go II
he were a mule. This was easily deter
mined. and going in that direction the
lost animal was soon found.
Richmond tobacco men may have more
sense than the tobacco men on the IN
terror markets. but this one thing can
not be disputed the interior markets
have been built up by the ways and
means which the men who do business
on those markets have adopted. Why
not investigate and see just how they
did It. and why not then try the same
WAYS and means to build up the Rich
mond market? What would the men on
the interior markets do, If they were go
ing to build up n market in RichmondE
There's the application of the mule story

II is not TO be denied that England's
and Canada's refusal to take part In the
Seal Conference that has recently been
held I'm his country between representa-
tives OF Russia. Japan and the united
states. made an unfavorable impression
upon the public mind OF America. Eng

matter except in the way Of advancing
and promoting the interests OF Canada
but. as the purpose of the conference was
10 arrive at some basis OF action between
all the nations interested in the subject
that would prevent the extinction of seal
life. It was thought by all reasonable men
that an advanced people. like the English,
should be the last IN the world to hold
back from any Congress that had this
most benevolent and praise-worthy OBJ
jet IN view. While this was the opinion
OF thinking people It was also perceived
very plainly that the difficulty really had
It's origin in Canada and not in England.
There are number of Canadians who
have been making profitable ventuers for
generations I'm seal captures in the Boring
Sea. and these. OF course. were 10th TO
abandon their paying business. Canadian
authorities ought to have dealt with the
case with a firm hand, but they did not,
and the parent country has felt itself
called upon 10 back its wayward colony
in an indefensible course. This is most
aspf 70 I'll to
wards the irritation that has been growing
up between England and America for sew
eral years past.
The announcement that ~ now made
that Sir Wnfrcd Laurier. Prime Minister
OF Canada and other Canadians Of high
onicial position have come 10 Washing
ton to take up with this government the
seal question and all other questions at
issue between Canada and this country
is therefore a most welcome one TO the
people Of the United States. and they all
hope most sincerely that a generous
spirit Of compromise and concession will
develop itself upon both sides in the nego-
nations to be had. The people Of the

Is a universal desire among them to live

with our friends on the other side Of the
great lakes. The selfshness and greed OF
few individuals should not be allowed
therefore 10 stand In the way OF wise and
generous bases OF comfy between the
countries.
canada should inform her citizens that
II the prosecution OF their sealing ven
lures threatens the extinction OF seal life
that fney must abandon them. Peace
and sincere friendship between the people
Of the two countries IS much more impor-

conference will end all causes OF friction
