of the true motive of the American peo-
pie, he finds it difficult to dispel the
specter of the American politician spec .

France long ago discovered that the
way to hold her gold was to hold it..
Warned by the unusual movement to-
ward the United States, the Bank of
France last week shut down on the drain,
refusing to exchange any more for bills.
She has never surrendered her discre-
ton to pay in gold or silver, and hands
out to her creditors the metal Shat is
most plentiful in the vaults when the
demand is made. Had that policy been
pursued by the successive secretaries
of the treasury in the United States since
the resumption of specie payments, the
silver question might never have come
up to veX our souls.

Latest British comment upon the crisis
is most assuring. 1T is evident" says
the London Chronicle, that the time

no allies and Cuba will be free" The
Daily Graphic declares that president
Mckinley should aid Sagasta to make
home-rule a reality, or give Spain notice
to quit" The Telegraph declares that
Spain is primarily responsible for the
Maine disaster, as any country would
be if any similar catastrophe should oc-
cur along it's coast line"
The herald., 1898-03-27

All advices from Madrid indicate that
the people of Spain are cropping in the
dark, the prevailing impression being
that the attitude of the United States
depends fundamentally upon the nature
of the official report upon the Maine dis
aster, rather than upon the conditions
existing in Cuba. That phase is seldom
referred to by the public men or jour-
expressions reach this side. The presi-
dents forthcoming message upon that
subject will doubtless be a revelation to
a great majority of the Spanish people.
