to compel the government to issue more
bonds. whether there is war or not,
Wall Street will patriotically take all
the government bonds it can get. If
there is no war, prices will resume
their old place. The railroads are be-
ing consolidated. The New York
Central has purchased the Lake Shore,
so that the two systems will be under
one management. Something like a
panic has prevailed in the stock mar
ket which has furnished opportunities
for the purchase of valuable stocks at
reduced figures. The country must
await developments with all the pa
thence it can command War should
be avoided, if consistent with national
honor, but a careful eye should be
kept upon those gentlemen who were
so soiicitous for the honor of this ma
ton in 1896 that they almost shed
tears whenever silver was mentioned;
for, if it proves to their interest, they
will cause the United States to act a
pusillanimous part at the present
juncture. The bondholder and stock
broker have neither country nor con-
science.

The Worst Possible Reputation.

In his speech before the Manufactur-
Thursday, President Mckinley said:
"WHATEvER MAY BE THE LANGUAGE
OF THE CONTRACT, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in the
currency recognized as best through
out the civilized world AT THE TIME oE
PAYMENT"
In criminal absurdity this equals the
worst utterances put in President
Cleveland's mouth by his Wall street
associates.
1t means that no matter what we
agree to do, no matter what the law is,
the President will violate 1t against
our own people when foreign specula-
tors in our bonds declare that the
money in which we CONTRACTED TO
PAY them is too ''cheap."
Whatever may be the language of
the contract, the President says in the
official report, but he does not say
what is always true, that the contract
he thus proposes to repudiate against
our own people, is in every case the
law of the land, passed by the repre-
sentatives of the people in Congress
and as binding in law and morals on
the President of the United States as
the law against counterfeiting the cur
rency.
When we put in the White House
men mortgaged as Cleveland was to
the Standard oil trust, and as McKin-
ley is to the steel trust, we must not
expect moral sense, much less states
manship.-F FaEIey Democrat and Jour
nal.

''ON the contrary. the condition of
the farmers would be infinitely worse
than it is if, in addition to the shrink
age in values, they were compelled to
receive a 40-cent dollar for their
products.
Dear reader, the foregoing is not a
corruscatiOn from the brain of the PIN
headed genius who edits the ''slugs''
of the Gold Standard Literary Bureau,
though entirely worthy such a source.
No, it emanates from no less respect
able Republican authority than the
Chicago Tribune! The excerpt is not
garbled from the text, to mislead. but
is entire to the authors thought-if
thought may be competent to produce
such a result. If the farmers ''were
compelled to receive a 40-cent dollar
for their products, wouldn't all other
producers, also, be compelled to re-
ceive 40-cent dollars for their products
II the 4O-cent dollar were the legal
dollar wouldn't it pay as much taxes
as any other dollar? With railroad
fares established by law at three cents
mile, wouldn't this legal "40-cent
dollar" buy as many miles travel as
does the present gold 200-cent dollar?
Wouldn't the s.4O-cent dollar" ship a
ton of hay, a carload of cattle. or of
wheat, or oats, as far as its yellow,
leeching brother does now? Wouldn't
it pay as much debt, and interest on
that debt? When the farmer went to
his grocer, his clothier, his merchant
when he paid his workmen-would-
Mt he pay them in the same "40-cent
dollars he had received for the prod
ucts of his farm? Or, will the Tribune
insist that only he, and no one else,
is to be compelled to receive Accent
dollars" for what he has to sell? Will
it kindly inform an anxious and ex-
pectant public by what peculiar
process such an extraordinary con-
summation will be brought about?
The truth is-and the Yellow-Legs
know it-there can be no such thing
known in law and trade as ''40-cent
dollar" The purchasing power of a
dollar is not and cannot be made the
same at all times; but, ordinarily, that
power affects it alike in its relation to
all things and all classes. If dollars
are plentiful and seeking investment,
they are cheap, and each dollar buys
less of all commodities; if scarce and
therefore boarded, the dollar is dear,
and commodities are ''cheapened" in
proportion. Interest-gathering Shylock
knows this-none so well as he-but
he is concerned only in his pound of
flesh" Ii his bond can be made by
law to produce him two bushels of
wheat where one was named in the
contract, that Is the highest type of
commercial integrity. since it gives the
debtor no right which the creditor is
bound to respect. Aud Shylock natur-
ally scorns and curses the ''40 cent
dollar"

No MAN not in touch with the inner
circles of Wall and Lombard Streets
can tell exactly what is going forward
in the business world. One thing is
evident. that the increased activity of
our war and navy departments, couse-
quent upon the present war scare, is
placing vast deal of money in circula-
ton, and that the initiation that results
from the large quantities of war ma
terial now being purchased by the gov
ernment is stimulating prices. All
branches of the iron trade, if these
purchases continue. will be vastly ben
ehtted; provisions, clothing, and every
thing necessary to support and supply
the army and navy, will ultimately
feel the effect of this unusual flow of
money from the q. S. Treasury.
Whether war with Spain will come or
not, no one can tell. The bondholder
and banker will prevent it, if possible
But it looks like matters have got be-
yond the control of these people. Of
