Bryan and HI Figures,


The Argentine Republic is the latest
South American country to adopt the
gold standard. This moves that good
old Democratic organ of the south, the
Louisville Courier-Journal. to remark
that "as this is great wheat-growing
country 1t has evidently never heard
of the fundamental principle of Bryan
economics that the prices OF wheat and
silver rise and fall together" In view
of the steadily growing revolt against
the Bryan theories, particularly In the
west, perhaps the Nebraskan may find
new field for missionary work down
in Argentine. before the gold bugs" get
too firm grip.
The case is hopeless for Colonel Bryan
in the United States. He almost ad-
tnits 1t, when he informs his home folks
that he has found out that there are
-four times as many Chicago platform
Democrats in New York (the cncmy's
country as In Nebraska" On this
point Mr.. Watterson suggests that COL
onel Bryans jubilant announcement of
this fact is something like three years
late. The vote OF 1896 for Colonel Bryan
for President showed that there were
not four. but hvc times as many Chi
'cago platform Democrats In New York
ms in Nebraska. .'And still Colonel
Bryan was beaten in New York by more
than quarter Of million plurality"
To be more exact, Bryan's total fu-
sion vote In Nebraska was H5,SS0. n
plurality of but 1856 over Mckinley
and the st. Louis platform. In New
York he and the Chicago platform re-
ceived SOL 1863 votes and Mckinley and
the st. Louis platform received Sl9,S3S.
plurality against the Chicago plat
form OF 26S.iG9. Giving Bryan the BEN
eiit of his vote OF 1896 In Nebraska.
credlting his statement that New York
now has four times the number OF Chi
cago platform votes as Nebraska. and
comparing the votes OF the two states
in 1896, we have the colonel admitting
that the Chicago platform has lost Just
$3.50 votes In New York since 1896.

Bile loss also In Nebraska. the Popullst

nor In that state last fall QS9S) receiv-
Ing but 2.72l majority. rs against the
1856 two years previous. This would
make q net loss for the Chicago De-
mocracy. according to Bryan's own
figures. In the two states, since 1896 Of
1854 votes. But we arc willing to
let the 1896 comparison go. Colonel
Bryan should get OUT his pencil and do
some more figuring, II he wants to give
encouragement TO the benightcd REM
naat OF the Chicago platform ndvo-
Gates.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, MAY 20, 1890.
The Saint Louis Pow.wow.

The conference at St. Louis of the
national committee and other leaders
Of the Bryan Democracy to formulate
plans and platforms for next year, in
the almost herculean effort to. bring the
factions together, has very delicate
situation to face. and the proceedings
are likely to develop many differences
OF opinion in the party at large. In all
likelihood, an effort to force the silver
question into back seat will be Wig
orously opposed by the Chicago plat
form element, and. 1t Is not improbable
that the design to bury It under new
questions which are most likely to be
solved before the campaign opens next
year, may be objected to us unwise, so
far in advance.
What may be outlined now will be Of
no effect under changed conditions after
the session of the coming Congress.
General plans and discussions may be
entertaining to the galleries. but detin-
lite results will be most uncertain An
abandonment of the silver issue will not
go down with the "a deal element. nor
VIII they permit 1t to be yelled By other
issues, the committee to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Such course will
mean the shelving of Bryan. Will Bry-
ans friends submit?
Whatever may be the outcome OF the
decision upon policy for the campaign,
the net result will find the Democracy
where it always has been. party of
opposition. "Anti-ism" will be the pro-
6rammc-anti-gold standard. antitrust,
anti-expansion, G-Jeffersonianism.
anti Protection. anti-progress. anti
Americanism. The more conservative
and progressive Democracy may be IN
favor of some Of these. or one or two,
at least, but they will hardly cooperate
with the committee in the entire COM
biuation.

TENDENCIES IN BANKING.
Deposits Increase Seventy Per Cent In
Ten Years,

1Si L SaFss
New York Commercial Advertiser:
The impressive factsin the interesting
comparison OF banking conditions In
1882 with those at present. made in the
Journal of Commerce this morning. is
that banking, like every other industry.
is subject to the law Of evolution under
competition which diminIshes profits
while increasing business. It Is not
different from wheat growing. Iron
making. or retail trading. Profits In
vito competition, competition lowers
prices. reduced prices increase business.
increased business permits economies In
organization and administration by
which one man handles business for
merly done by several. SO that the re-
duced rate Of profit on increased busl-
ness, done at less relative expense. still
makes adequate return to the labor and
capital employed. This Is the econon-
&c circle in which every form Of indus
try Is travelling to the continual bene-
fit of the consumer and the constant in
crease OF production. without dlminu-
ton of the producers compensation.
The industry Of dealing In money Is no
exception.
The comparison referred to shows
that deposits in ffty-eight national
banks have Increased 10 per cent In ten
years, while the surplus has Increased
only II per cent without any increase
of capital to absorb profits In div-
dends. That Is, surplus, which Is the
measure Of what may be called excess
profts-proits beyond those necessary
TO retain capital in business-were
nearly l3 per cent in 1892 OF deposits.
which are the measure OF the volume
of business, and are now less than 9
per cent Of them. This Is perfectly
clear revelation Of business expanded
bv lower charge for doing business
and saved from loss by natural econo-
mics In administration. which still keep
profits above the point at which capt.
tai would desert the industry. Banking
has adjusted itself to q lower rate OF
interest. just as every form OF trade and
Industry has adjusted Itself to lower
prices for commodities and products.
There are natural economies IN every
expanding Industry. since expense OF
administration does not increase In
proportion. It Is the present tendency
OF trade and Industry TO add to those
the larger economies OF concentration
and higher organization of both capital
and labor, So az to prevent the waste
OF duplicate effort. This tendency Is
not yet general In the business Of bank
ing. though there are rather significant
sporadic signs OF it.

New York Sun. written by Catholic,
calls attention. In this connection. to
the fact that the friars and the nuns
In the Philippines have been under the
protection Of the United States troops.
We're 1t not for American guns and
American valor," says this writer, "the
priests. friars and nuns would not be
alive in the Philippines at this date"
1t is a fact that has figured In all
official and press dispatches that
Agu!naldcs hostility was equally direct
ed against the religious institutions and
missions and the Spanlards. The author
Of the letter in the Sun continues:
The Catholic chaplains who have re-
turned from the east have an expressed
themselves In favor OF American rule In
the archipelago. The leaders OF the Cath
ole episeopacy. with one notable excep-
tlon, believe that the preservation Of
Christianity In the Philippines and the
safety OF the church are dependent upon
American sovereignty. III

applied to all territory, domestic and in
sular. over which the United State has
sovereignty.
