much at sea as at present. The south

sway of Bryan's personal influence, and
will do all possible to renominate him
and the free-silver platform OF 1896.
The power and wealth Of the Demo-

Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Croker and the rest
felt they We're invincible. They entered
the Chicago convention over-confident
and undisciplined for the battle.
To my mind. these conditions have
now changed. The Democratic chair
man, Senator Jones. is ill in Europe.
Bryans only weapon is free silver, and
the strength and weakness of tho
weapon is now fully realized. Senator
German has seen the error of his ways.
l think, and the eastern Democrats Will
make a great effort to secure a new
issue and, if possible, a new man.
The trouble about the antitrust
campaign is that they cannot make
trusts a political issue. So far as
amaSSing wealth in a manner to injure
the public is concerned, the Republican
party is just as opposed to it as the
Democrats.
The Democrats would like the anti
expansion idea, and. possibly, Admiral
Dewey, but the combination would not
do, and Admiral Dewey is so big that
he would not permit his reputation as
one of the great admirals of his time to
be used for any political purpose
AsSuredly, the Democrats are at sea
Personally, / would like to fight the
old fight against free silver, but, how

American point of view. The latest ad-
vices from the west show good, average
crops, and prospects of heavy ship
ments and remunerative rates for the )
American producers
Looking to Europe. one foresees a
big demand from Russia, which is in
the throes of famine. In Germany the
crops are patchy and unsatisfactory in
large areas. In England the demand
will not run above the average, but
political troubles are still visible here.

PROSPEROUS TIMES PREDICTED
The European worker and manufac-
turer is on the crest of a wave of good
trade. From manufacturers here and
on the continent We learn that there
hands are full We know what that
means, and look forward eighteen
months for a change in the tide in
European countries which will closely
affect each others markets.
while the American market in GER
tain directions remains unaffected for
all classes of American manufacturers,
I see a great period of producing which
will benefit the workers Politics may
cause a certain halt and stagnation.
However, 1 doubt if the flow of luck
to the skilled artisan can be stopped.
Everywhere in Europe the tale is
the same. Americas quicker produc-
ton and more defined methods of full
filling contracts on time are grasping
the markets there, and once We get q
market we retain it
European railways make a go-ahead
American sigh. 1t is true matters have
improved during the last score of years,
but with a score of pushing capital
lists Europe might be so net-worked
with efficient railroads as TO greatly
help in solving peace and political prob
