ing the East.-Other News.
New York, Dec. l8.-The air on the
stock exchange at the opening today
was one of uncertainty and apprehen-
sion. The comparative steadiness of
the London market before the opening
here showed that some power of reSis.

military disasters in South Africa had
developed there, but the threatening
tone OF the closing dealings here on
Saturday served rs an admonition that
our markets h ID troubles of their own
to face.

Withdrawing her troops for the
South African field. The spark OF
freedom and independence might
be famed into flame in some of
her colonies if all the royal troops

But such is Imperialism. Eng
land has practiced the policy sue
cessfully for years, but it still con-
tains the seed which now grows
and will yet reduce the English ma.
ton to third rate power before
the world, or perhaps cause the
final disruption of the great en-
pire. She has sown Imperialism
and she is reaping disaster. She
has built or greed, and the blood OF
her people must make good the
sacrifice. She has pursued pol
icy Of avariCious conquest and the
flower Of her army is paying the
debt. She has held that might
makes right and her arm will yet
become palsicd.
Such is Imperialism. Its fruits
are one and the same the world
over. 1t will yield the same re-
suits to America that it is today
yielding England. 1t will cause
the foundation stones of any gov,

decay. The UNION is firm in the

Wall Street Crash Foreshadowed.

In spite of all efforts to relieve
the situation, prices in Wall street
have rapidly declined for the last
80 days. The leading industrials,
including sugar, have gone off
from 20 to 80 per cent and are still
declining. London is getting rea-
dy to demand gold to protect its
own securities. The situation in
South Africa presents the most
perilous crisis which Great Britain
has been called upon to face since
Napoleon threatened the invasion
of England.
Unless the Beers can be con-
quered the whole tremendous hnan-
cial bubble, represented by the
companies under the leadership of
Cecil Rhodes, will collapse and
then will follow financial crash,
more severe than that which accom-
panied the failure of the Earrings
nearly ten years ago. 1t is out of
the question that Wall street can
escape being involved and through
it the whole United States. Wall
street is already shaky, and should
the panic strike before the gold
standard bill passes the senate, it
will have to be abandoned and
the next presidential campaign
will see fercer fight than ever be-
fore for system of American fl
nance free, from British influence.
The republicans will be thoroughly
on the defensive for their treacher-
Gus abandonment of the friendship
for silver which they embodied in
the national platform Of 1896.
Such d panic will also smash
the republicans prosperity which
has heen so much exploited dur
ing the past six months and on
which they are depending to make
their campaign next year, With
it should go the Anglo American
alliance which Chamberlain has
been boosting to save Great Bri-
tain from the crash Of empire
which seems imminent. Even so
conservative a statesman as the
German minister of marines open
ly declared in the reichstag few
days ago that the South African
conflict might lead to a re-parti-
Ition Of the world.

Prosperity struck the packing
firm Of ]. z, Squire & Co., at Bos-
ton, 50 hard the other day that the
snap failed for two millions. The
head 81 the firm explains the cause
Of the failure as follows:
The assignment was the direc,
result Of tightness in the money
market. Practically all the indebt.
edness is to banks. These banks
found it necessary to call
their loans. The Squire company
could not raise the money to NEE,
them all at such short notice and
Il was deemed best to make ar
assignment. :

Ever since the campaign of 1896
the republicans have been busily
engaged in bur ying the "silver
craze" but each time it was buried
the corpse showed signs Of life and
even at this writing, in the dawn
Of the campaign Of 1900, this
oft-killed 'scraze" still shows signs
Of life. The action Of the republi-
cans themselves in passing the
