WALL STREET VS.. WALL STREET.

Now we have the financiers of Wall
street-those noble and unselfish patri-
ots-proclaiming that the country is
on the verge of financial panic because
there is not enough money in the cpun-
try. More money" they declare, sis
needed to carry on the business of the
people!"
And this is the same Wall street
which in 1896 threw up its hands in
holy horror when the Democracy made
the same declaration and proposed to
supply the recognized necessity of
greater circulating medium, not by the
Wall street method of piling up the
national debt by issuing more gold
bonds, but by legitimately increasing
the primary money of the nation by
returning to our time honored policy
of practical bimetallism. 1t will be re-
membered that Wall street fnanciers
then yelled themselves hoarse pro-
planning the utter absurdity of the
Democratic contention that the bust
ness of the country needed more mon
ey. Now these same financiers admit
and have for some time been admit
ting openly the truth of that conten-
ton, and none are so loud in calling
supply the needed circulating medium
in the channels of trade, although the
government since 1896 has done its best
to supply the deficiency and has swell
ed the volume of money in circulation
in direct defiance of the goldbug the
DRY, mind!-many hundreds of mil
lions.
There is this marked difference, how
ever, between Democracy's demand for
greater volume of money and the de-
mand of the Wall street f1nanciers:
While the Democracy would apply the
remedy to the seat of the disease by
supplying the lack of money by in
creasing the volume of our primary
money-gold and silver-thus making
the relief a. permanent cure, our Wall
street friends-the gold owners and the
bond holders-would supply the money
needed in the channels of trade, not by
this simple and sane process, but by
issuing hundreds of millions more of
gold bonds, by piling up still higher the
national debt, by increasing the al
ready vast burden upon the shoulders
of the people, who, now that they have
the bills of an imperial army to foot,
barely manage to pay, besides, the

The imperial organs still break out
occasionally in reference to the late
elections as an endorsement of the adj
ministration's Philippines policy.
Where and how was that policy en-
dorsed?
In Massachusetts where it was the
predominant issue the Democrats made
surprising gains. In no other State
was it a prominent issue except in Ne
braska and Ohio. The Anti-Imperial-
lists gained Nebraska by a tremendous
ly increased majority, the Republicans
being put into the smallest minority
they have ever known in that State. In
Ohio the anti-imperial forces polled a
majority of 10000 of the total vote.
while the administration candidate was
the first candidate for Governor in re-
cent years who has failed to get ma
jority of the total vote.
In not one single State of the twelve
that voted was there anything in the
campaign or in the result that could
be tortured into an endorsement of the
administrations imperial policy. This
issue will not be placed clearly before
the people until next year, and, mean
while there is every reason to believe,
from what we have learned OF the pop
ular temper, that the popular vote will

interest on their debt despite tho enor-
nous increase in the burden Of taxa~
ton within the last two years.
The Wall street method Of meeting
the difficulty would not remedy the
matter, for the issuing OF bonds does
not add one penny to the country's
primary money, merely unlocking
boarded gold, which is instantly hoard
ed again, the relief to trade being but
the most transient, while the burden of
the taxpayer is increased and the stu
alton in the end made worse for the
people and worse for legitimate trade
and ommerce-thOugh, to be sure, the
bondholders and the dealers in money
are fortified in their control of the fin
ancial situation, so that the govern
ment, itself, must bow to them in its
needs.
Which is the better way of supplying
the additional money business requires
the Wall street way or the Demo-
cratic way?
We know which plan will be adopt
ed. Our imperial expenses have al
ready brought the government face to
face with the necessity Of raising the
wind" and, despite the denial OF Secre-
tary Gage, another big gold bond issue
is imminent. When Wall street calls
the government must obediently an
swer. To that extent are we a plutoc-
racy already. AS for the simple, hon
est, time-honored Democratic plan OF
increasing the volume of our currency,

WASHINGTON NOTES
AND COMMENTS.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November u.
The single gold standard is proving
a boom to prosperity, or prosperity to
the money sharks of Wall street. In
recent weeks call money in Wall street
has been as high as As per cent. A
boon and blessing. So tight has
money been of late, and so near
panic, that the Treasury Departments
aid has been invoked, and the first time
in history has the government sought
to aid banks and bankers by antici-
pating the payment of interest on gov
eminent bonds six or more months in
advance, and so little faith was placed
in the scheme by bondholders that but
few presented bonds for the payment
of interest, and no relief was afforded.
Not only was relief sought in this
manner, but to bolster up an erroneous
policy was sought, to avoid the ex.
posture of policy that sooner or later
will bring disaster to the financial pol
ity of the government as practiced
by the gold standard" force Twenty
seven millions would be realized had
bondholders awaited themselves of the
offer, but few thousand only was re-
allied by the scheme, and financial
pressure still prevails.
Should holders avail themselves Of
the offer, what would be the condition
when the natural period Of payment
could come-the heavy periods Of Janu-
airy and April? Would another antici-
patton be rendered? Thus the difficulty
of to-day would become the difficulty
of tomorrow. Financial circles were
never easier than when a double
standard was the money of its people,
and the condition can only be relieved
and maintained by the use of the money
of the country-both gold and silver
The people are now feeling the evil
of a single standard and are prepared
to sustain the double standard in 1900.
Efforts are being put forward from
this center of gravitation to keep in
trim the organization of Gold Demo-
Gratis, and in West Virginia an effort
will be made to put full ticket in
the field in 1900. Such a move will add
strength to the regular Democracy and
insure the election of four Democratic
Congressman But for the Gold Demo-
cratic vote being cast for the Republi-
can nominee in the Second district in
the last election, Col. John T. McGraw
would now be representing that district
in Congress. With this move consum-
mated and good working organization
West Virginia in 1900 will have four,
instead of one Democratic Congress
man, and Democratic Legislature
which is sure to elect a Democrat to
succeed Hon. S. B. Elkins in the Senate
of the United States. West Virginia
is Democratic State, and by laying
aside personal ambitions and puteng

ENGLAND AND HER COAL.

England's small size ON the map
taken in conjunction with the lmmen-
sity of her industries and population
naturally gives, rise to periodical spec
ulation as to the duration of her re-
sources of raw materials. There is no
question that these resources are Iast
becoming exhausted, leaving England
danendent on foreign countries for her
raw materials, putting her, of course, at
a great disadvantage, especially against
the United States, whose resources IN
this regard are limitless and will one
day be the natural storehouse of the
world.
England is already dependent on for
eign iron ores. Now the exhaustion
in the near future of her coal is
feared. Thirty years ago it was pre-
dicted that England's coal supply
would not last over century. A royal
commission appointed to investigate the
facts, after much time and labor made
a report in which it cut the limit Of
cheap coal supply to fifty years.
The London Engineer, commenting
on the fact, doesn't take an alarmist
view Of the situation but admits that the
outstanding of coal resources has be
come question of national Importance.
1t calls attention to the fact that in
China, Russia, America and elsewhere
there are immense supplies of coal as
yet untouched, and says it will be with
coal as it was with wheat. cat first
we were self-supplying and then we
bought from abroad. Meanwhile. by
all means. let us not be too extrava-

Sweet heavens looks grew glum?
