MONEY AND BUSINESS.

While Wall Street trying its hardest to
scare itself to death, and Chicago and even Den
yer banks were lending money here, the rate on
collateral was never over per cent yearly for
sSty-day paper, nor the rate on call over
per cent, and commercial paper was considered
slarminsiy high only because II rose from ~
to Az. and single names for short time To
4% per cent. dropping back to 3M or A per
cent 1t is difficult to remember time when
so much fuss made about so little.
Every body knew that large payments for bonds
were going into the Treasury, mainly because
Of people whose speculative purchases OF bonds
showed a profit which they were impatient to
realize: but after that operation is practically
over men can see IL they choose. that 1t has not
really disturbed the money market bit. The
Treasury has taken in SD. 900 900 gold since July
80 added nothing TO its currency holdings. ana
has increased its deposits in banks SlI,Wr.o0O'
and its available cash balance Soi,WD.UO,
and the whole operation with all the specula-
lions attending has not caused as much actual
disturbance as has been repeatedly produced
this very year by some small payment rail-
road or municipal bond issues.
The fuss was mainly in stock speculation and
due to its overloaded condition. From June !
TO July 20 the market was held by strong par
ties who took all that Europe wanted to sell.
and never allowed the average price Of sixty
most active stocks rise above so 30 "A share
or fall below SIS IL. With the certainty that
war would soon end the price went above $50
on August T. was about SCI on August g. and
above $'i2 20 on August II. but the buying by
people with narrow margins and imaginary
capital went so far that strong parties thought
It sensible to realize. In twenty days Of Au-

tory so complete and easy as to be more
embarrassing than a struggle upon some
thing like equal terms.
Had the Spanish army in Cuba been
beaten in the field the situation would
have been much less complicated as the
administration of the island would simply
be taken over by the victorious army The
American war office is the subject of Sc
we're criticism from men of all parties and
Secretary Alger, New York CORE
spcndent caustically observed, is regarded
seriously as candidate for retirement into
private life. There undoubtedly has been
most serious mismanagement in connec-
ton with the Santiago forces and had not
public opinion intervened upon the mani
festo of the generals, it is not improbable
that the war office would have gone on
covering up its own mistakes until the
Santiago force had succumbed entirely to
disease and privation.
Now the troops are being deported
from tie island as rapidly as possible; but
with them goes every trace of American
power to deal with a possession of which
Spain is to be deprived.
NO native government is possible; no
American government is ready or likely
to be ready for long time to come. In
the meantime the Spanish army is starving
with the civil population. Events seem
to have moved quickly as to leave the
American war office absolutely unprepared
to deal with problems much greater than
the provisioning of the field force at San
tiago.

DANGER IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Warning From senator Chandler
Against Trustiny Snnin

Senator w. E. Chandler has written the
following letter to the New York Herald:
Thanks for the Heralds editorial of
Thursday, Don't Give Up the Philippines,
Mr.. Mckinley. Make 1t Permanent
Peace
If we take Spain's promises that she will
give the islands decent government she
will not keep them and we shall have to go
10 war with her again or be dishonored in
the eyes of the civilized world. Can we
fight her better after she has transported
to Luzon her liberated armies and built a
new fleet? We shall not again destroy two
squadrons with the loss Of but one Ameri-
can seaman.
England prevented the concert of Europe
from interfering to prevent our occupancy
OF Manila after Dewey's victory. Shall we
now fix the future fate of the Philippines
without hearing England's suggestions? If
we are unwilling, in the jargon of the peace
at any price advocates, to make ourselves
responsible for the government of remote
savage peoples England will take the isl
ands and give us Canada, if the latter
wants to come. as she soon will.
Danger That Impcnds.
The impending danger is that there has
gone to Spain through that accomplished
negotiator, NJ. Cambon, assurances, direct
or indirect, from President Mckinley that
the American commissioners will agree to
give up the Philippines, excepting Manila.
That is what Sagasta says he understands
Is 1t SO understood by US? We deceived
Spain once by not telling her she must give
up Cuba. Shall we now let her think we
are willing to give back those oriental ISL
ands, over which our flags have once float
ed to be ravaged and enslaved and their
inhabitants butchered by Spanish military
assassins like Weyler who will go there
and do the bloody work in spite of all Span
ish pledges to the contrary?
The names of some commissioners have
been suggested who will surrender the Phil
ippines as eagerly as they would have
agreed to let Spain keep Cuba in considera-
ton of her worthless promises no longer to
shoot the Cuban patriots for "incendiarism
ana reoellion. None of those peace at any
price men should be appointed on any com
mission II President Mckinley wishes to
keep any sembance of faith with the Amer.
lean people.
Men Who Should BE Trusted,
Only advocates of the war should be
trusted to make terms of peace President
Mckinley himself alone excepted. This Is
common sense and common justice. Let
the give away men, stand outside and
wait. 1t may be out of place to talk poll
tics in this connection, but an ignomtnious
peace Will sweep the republican party out
of existence and ought to do it,
There Is the possibility of infinite mis-
chief in the requests said to have been
made by Sagasta for explanations of Amer
icas proposals. Has he said, do you mean
on reasonable conditions to be fixed by the
commissioners, to give back to us the Phil
ippines except Manila"
II So what has President Mckinley re-
pi1ed! Let us not be again deceived. as we
were as to the terms which Spain was
toiu she might avoid the war.
