NO REPUBLICAN,.

We see that Judge Rhea and his friends
are Boosting that a number of Republicans
in the Ninth District will vote for him for
Congress. This il all stuff. No true Re-
publican will vote foi Rhea. The man
who allows personal hostility to Walker to
cause him to vote fol Rhea is not q Repub-
lican. He may have been acting with the
Republican party in the past, but his polit-
ical convictions were not very deep If
he can support such a man as Rhea as
against the Republican nominee for Con-
gress. Very few will do 80, and they will
regret it. They may think they are doing
right but the people will ascribe their act
ions to impure and selfish motives. They
might as well prepare to take up their
abode in the Democratic camp, because
they will not be recognized again in the
counsels of the Republican party.

The Democrats are half way imperial
lists. They favor the annexation Of Porto
Rico, and Cuba if it becomes necessary,
but are opposed to acquiring any new ter
ritory in the Pacific. All their talk about
and against imperialism is, therefore, alb
surd. Their position, as matter of prln-
ciple, is of that character that prompts q
man to be too honest to steal horse, but
not too honest to steal q sheep.

For some reason there has been dis
position with certain persons to defane
General Shafter. They have criticised his
of the campaign at Santiago,
and sought to create the belief that he was
not capable and courageous. But few per-
sons have been impressed with the efforts
of these defamers. The letter Of General
Wheeler which is found in another column,
should silence all the critics and SANDER
ers.

CROP PROSPECTS.

Crop prospects are on the whole more
encouraging for the governments latest
report as to corn is much larger than the
commercial estimates, and its cotton re-
turn promises a heavy yield while allow
ance is made for its habitual error in its
wheat return. Money markets show no
sign of possible disturbance, securities are
stronger and there is no harmful specula-
ton in stocks or products.
Rarely has the financial outlook been
more nearly unclouded.
While wheat is four cents higher for the
week there is less doubt than a week ago
that it will rule lower during the coming
year. The general holding back Of grain
by farmers and consequent heavy shrink
age in western receipts, have reduced the
visible supply below all past records, but
everybody understands that at this date
many times that quantity is almost within
days run of Chicago.

The war has already cost our govern
ment about $3.50, 100000. 1t has cost a
good many lives and great number Of
tears. If President Mckinley had been
left alone, perhaps, this could have all
been avoided.

New York, Aug. 12.-R. 6. Dun q
Company's Weekly Review of Trade will
say tomorrow:
Prospects of peace have had a curious
influence OH business contracts not quite
explainable on common sense grounds.
Nobody really feared disaster, or exhaus-
ton of national resources and nobody
feared that anybody else was afraid Of
either. Yet orders unusual in number
and size have been placed since Spain
asked for peace.
In some industries the gains have been
large for about two weeks, while in some
textile manufactures is has only begun
to appear this week, but it involves a
considerable increase in the working
force.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.

The iron and steel trade fully supports
differences drawn from recent events. The
demand for steel is 60 heavy that some OF
the biggest concerns have been buying,
one taking 4 o 100000 tons, advancing the
price at Pittsburg from Sl4.50 to Sl5.25,
which was at last refused. Bessemer pig
is steady and other pig there and at East
ern and Western markets generally, but
rails have been advanced by Eastern max
ers to SIS per ton, the makers of structu-
raj beams have advanced the price 81 per
ton, and makers of merchant pipe have add
vanced the price per cent, while plate
makers are crowded to the point of refusing
orders, both East and West, and bars are
stronger with many mills engaged for
weeks ahead. Illustrating the demand are
reports of orders for 10000 car axles at
Chicago, 10000 tons structural work there,
and big orders at Philadelphia Sor cast
pipe, and 5000 tons elsewhere.
Eastern works now appear to be crowded
to their utmost capacity as the western
have been for some weeks. In the minor
metals there liz heavy buying. Textile
works have been sleeping, but are awaken
ing. The demand for wooden goods is
now much better, although not yet extern
sive enough to warrant paying the prices
asked for new wool and nearly all of the
buying has been of old stock. The aggre-
gate sales at the three chief markets have
been only 5 ,432, 7GO pounds for the week
about third of the sales in the same week
of 1897, while in 1892 for the correspond
ing week sales were 100000.
The demand for cotton goods is little
better as to staples and fairly good for
print cloths, prints and ginghams and yet
probably does not suffice to cover tile cur
rent output,
For the week, failures have been 226 in
the United States against $50 last year and
Is in Canada against SO last year.

GRAIN EXPORTS.

The more effective change is the de-
crease in exports which have been only
g ,297 ,619 bushels, flour included, from
both coast, against 3,S32,974 last year,
showing but slight increase Of half q
million bushels for two weeks, compared
with last year. The price of corn has de-
clned shade for cash, and the govern
ment report promising almost two billion
bushels against 1926, 100000 bushels
promised by commercial accounts, has
more weight because the official returns as
to corn have not been Systematically mis-
leading and everywhere discredited.
A slight furry in cotton lifted the price
a sixteenth on Tuesday but it dropped
again the next day with the otliscal fore

BIMETAtLISM ABROAD.
Remnr kRble Admission Made hx an
Gold MonometaIIint.

Goid MonOmctallist.
The S1metnllist. OF London, publishes
an abstract of the report of the royal
agricultural commission, which shows
I shat this document is even more dis
tinctively triumph for bimetallism
than earlier accounts indicated. Ten
oil the IL commissioners who signed
what is called the main report" Join in
supplementary report" declaring that
bimetallism is the one practical remedy
Tor the depression OF agriculture. All
the commissioners had agreed that the
chief cause of the existing depression is
The progressive and serious decline in
the prices of farm produce" The ten
commissioners who sign the supple
mentnry report" take this proposition
as the basis of their argument, and urge
that. since the full in prices is due to
the appreciation OF gold, and the appre-
cation OF gold is due to the demonetiza-
ton OF silver. therefore the English gov
ernmcnt should combine with foreign
powers TO effect the reconciliation of
silver. What is even more to the sntis-
faction of bimetalists is the fuct TINT
Sir Robert Giffen. the extreme mono
HlNh iHC COllllilSSlOn, agrees
with his colleagues that the fall In
prices is due to the appreciation of gold.
with regard to the contention of David
a. Wells and many other monometal-
lists TINT the decline In the price OF
wheat from 1873 to 1896 has been due To
the increase in the supply, Mr.. Giffen
recognizes the validity of the official
statistics. and says: Speaking broad
ly, the figures clearly suggest that the
decline In wheat during the last 20 years
Is not due to any great growth of pro-
duction in excess of the growth Of the
consuming population. The facts are
rather the other way; the growth of the
acreage under wheat has Jagged behind
the growth of population" He adds:
1T IS great misfortune. consider. that
some monometallists refuse to recognize
the general fall OF prices in the last quar-
ter OF century as being, in economic Ian
Suage. an appreciation Of gold, and as be-
Ing explained by a contraction OF gold las
compared with previous period of ex-
pansion). which commenced about the year
1913 me facts are all beyond dispute The
crux OF the question is, that whereas FOR
zo years before 1873. owing to the state OF
the gold supply and dema nd. the progress

To Mr.. Giffen, as to bimetallists. II 1,
seif-cvidcnt that II the supply Of money
had increased as rapidly after 1878.
there would have been no fall in prices.
Mr.. Giffcn further admits that bimetaL
iism would result in a general rise in
prices. but refuses to accept the belief
OF his ten bimetallist colleagues that
this general rise in prices would help
farmers.-N. Y. Outlook.

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
Japan In I'm the Golden Clutches of
the NothschiIds

the RothschiIds.
The dispatch, which we publish be-
low. of the news brought by the steam
er Tacoma from Japan shows with whit
rnpidity that ambitious empire is going
to the dogs. 1t was proposed to coin
7o.ooo.o0O OF gold yens this year, but
the finance minister finds that they are
only able to coin 100000 yens. The
government is compelled TO increase
the land tax. OF course It must. be-
cause the revenues of the country have
been reduced equally with the business
OF the country by adopting the gold
standard. India had no difficulty in
paying SO.0o0.000 OF gold interest in
London until she dcmouetlzed silver in
1873. since which time she has been 90
ing with great rapidity to what the
boys call the 'demnition bow wows"
anu borrowing money every year to
dcfrny her ordinary expenses.
few weeks ago we were informed
that Japnn's revenues were 25.OOO.o 600
yens short this year. This was IN un-
derestimntc. 1t appears by the dis
pntch published below that the govern
ment Is compelled to borrow ~. 600 600
yens. AT this rate of speed Japan will
