DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, Feb. 16-There was an av-
erage amount of business in cotton goods
today in both staple and fancy lines. The
tone of the market continues strong. and
prices still tend against buyers in all de-
scriptions. The jobbing trade is quiet,
owing to storm interruptions, but is pick
ing up and prices are hardening. The
wooden goods division shows no material
change. Cotton hosiery is inactive but
underwear is in fair request. Kid-finished
cambrics are generally picking up.

PUBLIC FRANCHISE VALUES.

The tremendous value of public fran
chises was never more strikingly IL
Illustrated than by the wonderful in
crease in the price of the shares of
stock of the New River Water Supply
Co., of London. A share of this stock
which was originally worth $500 was
recently sold in London for 1888 900.
The earnings of one share to-day is
placed at $4,000 year.
While this is an exceptional case, it
but illustrates the immense values pub
lie franchises represent and should
cause every municipality to think
twice before giving these franchises
away without money and without price
to private money making corporations.
In the light of advanced knowledge
on this subject it is nothing short of a
crime against the community to vote
away these precious rights without adj
equate return. 1t were still better for
the community to neither give them
away nor sell them. but retain these
privileges and operate these public
utilities in the interest OF the people.

gold standard the better for the advo-
Gates Of that theory. which is knocked
In the head by the hard facts and con-
ditions leading up to the present boom.
And, by the way, it will not do to
brag too hard about present prosperity
to the masses of the people. True,
wages have been advanced in few in
dustries where the activity is exception
ally great, but even in these cases they
have not advanced anything like prices.
The great bulk of the American people
have not had their wages advanced at
all, while the prices OF staple products,
especially those controlled by the trusts,
which control almost every line OF in
dustry, have advanced enormously.
The trusts are getting mighty rake
off, but it is difficult to see where the
masses of the people get their share OF
this prosperity, which is based on the
expenditure of their blood and treasure
in war and the enormous increase OF
the public debt.

NOR THE GOLD STANDARD.

In another column we reproduce at
the request of one of our goldbug
friends an editorial from the Rich
mond Times Gold Democracy anent
the situation of tremendous prosperity
that will confront Mr.. Bryan in the
campaign of 1900 as opposed to the
very different situation that prevailed
during the last campaign in 1896, all of
porary halls as a vindication of the
single gold standard.
But is this situation of great activity
and prosperity in the industries of the
country due to the single gold stand
ard?
1t cannot be shown by any of the ac-
cepted theories of those fa.yoring that
standard of money, for those theories
are contradicted by the conditions re-
sponsible for this situation.
1t cannot be successfully denied that
we had none of this prosperity until the
present administration issued hum
dred5 of millions of bonds. vastly in
creasing the debt burdens of the peo-
pie, and increased the circulating me-
dunn of the country hundreds of mil
the money of the country is exactly
what the Democracy said was needed
to insure prosperity, and which our
goldbug friends said was NOT needed,
The Democracy would have increased
the volume of money in the country re-
gularly and not by means of increasing
the public debt. The Democracy would
have lightened rather than increased
the burdens of the people.
Not one iota OF the present so-called
prosperity is due to the gold standard,
nor to any act Of the pIesenl administra-
ton, unless we except the Spanish war.
War at all times brings period of eX-
traordinaTy and feverish activity in in
dustry on account of the enormous sup
plies needed and the necessarily vast
ChpCuQltuiS VI AHolCy ny Inc SChOl al
government which money goes into the
channels of trade and causes a boom
for the time being. And it is this ac-
tiyity caused by the war and the tre-
mendous increase in the circulating
medium (Which our goldbug friends
said we did not need) that is respons-
ible for the present phenomenal boom
in American industries. 1t is the
height of absurdity to attribute it 20
anything else, such as Mr. Mckinley s
incompetent administration or the gold
standard
Whether the free coinage of silver at
the 16 to l ratio is the right means of
securing it or not, the fact is made
plain by the present situation that an
increase and very great increase, in
the substantial money of the country
was needed to bring prosperity and not
the single gold standard, which prevail
cd under the administration of Mr..
Cleveland as under the administration
of Mr.. Mckinley, and as it has pre-
vailed in times of depression and panic
as well as during the present era of
activity
