In no other respect has the independence or
the country been more impressively shown thhh
i'm its financial relations. For about -FOUR years
this country had been placed entirely at the
mercy of foreign lenders. Whether crops mere
were large or not, the mastery over prices
rested with those whose complete control OF
exchanges and of markets for securities enabled
them to exact what they pleased for the ser
vice Of keeping the United States Government
from bankruptcy. That such humiliation should
have come upon n Nation which had for four
teen years maintained specie payments with
out shadow OF distrust. and paid on pubic
debt at rate wholly without precedent or
parallel was Cor genuine Americans almost
harder to bear than the prostration Of their In

glad consciousness of absolute confidence In the

finances Of the Nation are mpregnable when-

Only few weeks ago Jacob Worth. Of the
Borough Of Brooklyn, uttered some candid opin-
ions about the bad management OF his and our
party in the Borough Of Manhattan by a coun-
tryrnan from Tioga. Here are few OF his In
structive expressions:
Patt Is never able 20 tell what IS going TO happen
He thought that General Tracy would win, and
kept telling his friends and when the blow hit
the Republicans he was stunned that he didn't
open his mouth for q week. Patt hasn't brains
enough to measure his adversary. He hasn't the
power to recognize changed conditions Neither
morally nor mentally is he qualified for leadership
Platt's place is down among the coal bunkers and
not in the pilothouse
An evening or two ago generous tribute was
paid to this same Jacob Worth by personal
friends and leading politicians. Among the most
prominent was n conspicuous State official. very
intimate with the man from Tioga, but more
30 with the Governor OF the State. Did Mr.. Lou
Payns participation In the tribute 20 Mr..
Worth mean Mr.. Plat.s anxiety to abase him

Governor Morton TO take advantage Of the pro-

he has served out the term for which he was
