Honest Sweden.
AUpuSt pariSian

In Sweden a crime is an event; Heft
particularly is very rare. Honesty is the
fundamental quality of the race, Is nat
urally recognized and officially counted
upon. In this regard the Stockholmers
show a confident carelessness which is
always surprise to strangers, and
causes them some uneasiness. In the
theaters and concert halls there are
large cloak rooms, where hats and furs
are left without the smallest safe
guard; the performance over, each one
takes possession Of his effects and an
accident never occurs. The inhabitants
are accustomed to expect a reciprocal
probity in the transactions of every day
life Upon most Of the tramways in
Stockholm conductors have been dis
pensed with. The passenger himself
deposits his ten ore in little till placed
at the end of the vehicle, behind the
driver. 1t is patriarchal-and ecOnom-
ical.

Sherman law, the silver dollar and the
threat of free coinage of the silver
dollar to be the cause of the panic Of
1893. What will the gold" men point
to with pride as the cause of the panic
in Germany, gold standard country?
1t is believed that Emperor William
OF Germany has cut short his visit In the
East because of financial troubles in
Germany
The Imperial Bank of Germany has
recently advanced it's discount rate to
six per centum, which is an exceedingly
high rate. This is a tempting rate of
interest. Last year some Chicago banks
loaned money to banks in Germany at
to Az per cent, but now the financial
conditions are such in Germany that
they do not loan the banks there at 6
per cent rate. The English banks are
calling in their loans in Germany, and
the Paris banks are about the only back
ers of the German houses.
The writer of the article in another
column says that 1.-The currency system
of Germany has been sound since the
establishment of the empire That
is an acknowledgment that should be
noted. The currency is Sound yet
there is panic. Don't forget the fact
that panic now exists in gold
standard country.
The writer of the article thinks he
finds the indemnity from France of
5,0OO,0OO,O0O francs the cause OF the
financial panic in Germany. Too much
gold
What will be the next explanation by
gold standard writer of the financial
panic in Germany? Next Keep putting
the question at them, because the panic
Will continue for several years, and you
can ask the question many times.
| shall not state in this article the
real cause for the panic in Germany.
| want the gold" men to do some
thinking. They now see that a panic
can and does exist in gold standard
country. Suffice it to say at present.
that the cause of the panic in Germany
is one and the same with ne cause of
the panic in this country in 1893 The
cause is one and the same, whether the
country be a gold standard or a silver
standard or double standard country.

Decentralization,

The trotting out of the perennial
overproduction cry will soon be heard
on every hand. Overproduction of cot
ton, while the people are half clad and
houses i'll furnished; overproduction Of
wheat and corn, while the people are
without bread; overproduction of meat
while the people live on a short bread
allowance; overproduction of clothing,
while the people are ragged and habit
ed in patched clothes; overproduction Of
coal, while the people freeze; overpro-
duction of shoes, while the people suf-
fer barefoot; overproduction of oil,
while the people go to bed with the
chickens for want of light; overpro-
duction of sugar, while the people drink
coffee bitter; overproduction of-but The
list could be carried on indefinitely.
There is an unquestionable overpro-
duction, but it is not in the above
things. There is an overproduction of
pirates, and an underconsumption Of
