DEMOCRATS ALL HARMONIOUS.


AT the present time the success Of
the Democratic party is very good. The
party could be in closer touch, but ali
factions are close enough to vote one
ticket and support the party. This is
speaking of the present. II is hardly
probable that there viii be disruption
IN the ranks before the next general
election in 1900 The most likely thing
Is the party win be closely united on
AN leading questions. The voters
must be tired OF hearing about Ad-
dicksism and the two factions forming
the Republican party. The two fac
tions are about as close to harmony
as the Democratic party is to support
ing Addicks. There Is a cry of har-
monyl harmony but all schemes have
failed so far. Every week new schemes
arc formulated, but none seem to har-
monize. and there is but little likeli-
hood. Newark Ledger

= London Statist sent a special rep

causes of the panic Of 1898 and the con-
sequent depression for several years

This representative. a man named Paish,

This. IS a total misconception Of the
causes of the depression. Foreign capi-
tai 10 is true was Withdrawn prior 10

chases Of the American government must
lead 20 disaster. but foreign capital play
"a only a subordinate part in bringing
about and prolonging the depression from
the middle OF 1893 20 the end Of 1926. The
really operative cause of the depression
Was the distrust OF the American people
themselves. America WAS startled by
The heavy fall in the price of silver, con-
sequent upon the closing of the indian
mlnts. and alarmed by the fear that the
government of the United States, with It's
enormous holding Of silver, would be I'M

evident from the experience OF the past
two years, during which so much foreign
capital has been Withdrawn from the
United states. In real truth the depres-
sion was caused. first. by the silver policy
Of the American government, and. sec

fact that they are really worth only half
dollars because they could convert them
into whole dollars But a limit had to
come to the ability of even such a pow
erful government as ours That limit

abroad. to be approaching in 1890. so that
men began 10 sell their securities for gold
and to hide the gold. This caused the
panic and the subsequent depression UNI
in 1896, when the people Of the United
States declared by a mighty majority
that they would not have free coinage Of
silver and debase the currency and that
decisive declaration restored confidence.
men began to take their gold from its
hoard and allow it to pass into general
|, circulation and, with the restoration Of
confidence we have had the most remark
able revival Of prosperous conditions that
the world has ever seen.
Mr.. Paish finds the first evidence Of re-
viving confidence in the large deposits
Of boarded gold in the banks after the
presidential election Of 1896 had dispelled
the fear that there would be free coin
age of silver, and upon the point that
our returning prosperity was caused by
the good crops we had after 1896, he says:
while this occurrence Ohe successive
good crops has made the recovery more
rapid the disappearance Of anxiety as TO
the currency and the consequent rcst0ra-
ti0n Of confidence TO capital is the real
cause Of the Improvement I'm business
The acknowledgment Of this fact has a
most practical bearing upon the future
Granted that distrust caused the para
lysis Of trade and that confidence has
restored activity. II follows that. even
were crops 10 be deficient or some other
temporary misfortune TO occur the effect
upon trade would be slight compared
with the effect Of the distrust which ex-
listed from 1893 to 1896"
The present prosperity. Mr. Paish
thinks, may be expected 20 continue pro-
vided there is no more silver agitation or
prospect of war
Hence with the restoration Of con-
fdence by the American people in their
own currency and their determination TO
keep that currency on gold basis. CAPT
tai will remain assured and the trade Of
the country must continue active ana

This is something for our free silver
