HOT BLOODS COOLING OFF.

Frankfort, KY, Nov, %
James Andrew Scott. one OF the
Goebelites who' made a fierce
speech here a few days ago
when GeObel arrived from Gov
ington, and advised democrats
to arm themselves to resist
Governor Bradley's blue coats"
was made conservative tonight.
Governor Bradley denied that
he had been informed by Nc
Kinley that troops would be
furnished if asked for and de-
cline to say whether he had
considered appealing to the
president for and.
Instead of repeating the Goe-
bel election law, which was the
chief issue in the late guber-
material campaign as republi-
can leaders claim hope of doing
by alliance of republicans and
nti.Goebel democrats. demo-
cratic leaders assert that the
law will not only be maintain
ed but will be strengthened by
some important amendments.
One of these, it is said. will be
the removal of devices on
the official ballot and requiring
that voters scratch out the
names of such candidates as he
desires not to vote for. This
nominally amounts 10 an educa-
tional qualification and would
disfranchise the bulk OF color
ed voters, who constitute over
one-third Of the republican par

WALL STREET TACTICS.

Wall street has found out that
the thinking public is indignant
over the pouring of $50, 100000
of government funds into that
center of speculation to initiate
stock exchange values, and it
is sending out reasons why the
treasury was justified in doing
it. The main reason given is
the inelastic rules of the nation.
al banking system, which pre-
vents the banks coming to the
relief of the country by increas-
ins their note issues, but it is a
gross misrepresentation of the
facts. The national bank as as
whole are as much averse to a
large permanent volume of cir
culating paper money as Wall
street IS, and, they themselves
prove that they are. On the
very day and every day since,
that Secretary Gage threw S25, :
100000 on Wall street to ere
lieve the stringency., the ma
tional banks of New York City
were nearly $3O.OOO,OOO below
their authorized maximum note
issue, and the banks of Uthe
whole country were $3.50, 900, 900
below that point. That is say,
the New York national banks
could have added $4,000, 006
to their note issue in forty. eight
hours, and the national banks
OF the country could increase
their note issue by $3.50, 100000.
But had the banks relieved the
money market by issuing notes
there would have been no oc-
casion to start scheme to de.
plete the treasury reserve and
force the government to issue
another batch of bonds later
on.
If congress is going to do any
work on the monetary system
it should enact law obliging
national banks to keep their
note issue up to 80 per cent of
their capital, as they have the
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1899-11-30

right to do. 1t is nonsense to
charter bank and allow il to
retire Its volume of notes down
to 10 per cent of its capital
whenever it wants to. With
such power to create a plethora
or stringency in the money mar
ket lodged in the note issuing
banks, it is not surprising that
the volume OF money should be
subjected to violent fiuc ,ua-
tions, nor will tine channels of
commerce be safe from Wall
street manipulators until such
legislation as suggested is lad.
1t is true the secretary OF the
treasury had the power to re-
fuse to respond to Wall streets
call for S25, 100000, which he
should have done, and thrown
the responsibility OF strin-
gency upon the banks, but that
was not the game the street and
the banks were playing. AS a
matter of fact, there was no
pressing stringency, but the
throwing of $25, OOO,OO on the
street would initiate share val
ues. The country always dab
bles in stocks on a rising mar
ket, and the country will own
millions of shares by the time
the S25, 000,0 900 is used up. And
then the street will buy back
the country's holdings when
the reaction" has sent them
to the bottom. It is an old
game, and this is not the first
time the nations treasury
has helped Wall street to
fleece the country X. G.
