Bryan Gaining, Says Campbell.

Ex-Governor Campbell, who was
prominent in the opposition TO Bryan
In 1885, OF Ohio, says the Democrats are
making gains every day. "The man
who predicts the result OF the election. -
he said, discounts the possibility OF
unexpected things happening within
the two months between now and the
election. The Democrats are now max
ing steady gains. They are gaining
strength every day in New York, in
Ohio, in Indiana; in fact, all over the
country.
If tie election occurred today the
Democratic vote would be larger than
yesterday. Thus far, I think, there
has been no day when we were not
stronger than the day before. Such
condition surely promises well for
success"

Their sober second thought will dis
close the sombre side OF the situation.
Why should England, the money CEN
ter Of the world, the largest lender Of
any nation, and the wealthiest of all,
suddenly become borrower here, in
what has been considered, and what
has always been, the dearest OF the
worlds money markets? Only an ap-
preaching crisis Of considerable magni-
tude could have compelled THE action.
All Of Europe wants money. It's vast
ornaments on land and sea are expen-
sive. The cost OF the South African
war will not be less than $3.50, OOO, 900
and the cost to the allied powers OF the
war In China-for it grows more like
war every day-will not be less In

dollars sunk in bloodshed and the Dur.
suit of vengeance and trade? Who but
the people, those who haye saved money
and have it to loan ut interest?
But II halt billion dollars sre to be
thus diverted from the channels of trade
and speculation. will not this enormous
depletion Of the surplus cash on hand
here and elsewhere be followe ed by the
consequences which have always been
met under similar circumstances? Will
there not be fall in the prices of
bonds and stocks, because the BUYERS
Will be fewer and the resources of the

nearly every department Of trade. This
means diminished incomes and profits,
Wages are falling, and must fall still

affecting every trade establishment.

stances. where will the railroads find
sumcient traffic to continue their earn

year Or two? An agreement to main
pam rates at profitable figures would
preserve their interests, but in times
OF depression every shipper clamors
against railroad freights, and seeks to
