ATTITUDE or GOLD DEMOCRATS.


j, Sterling Morton Says That They VIII
Not support Bryan.
j. Sterling Morton, who was Cleve-
lands Secretary Of Agriculture, came
out editorially in the last issue of his
newspaper against Bryan. Among other
things, he says:
THE Gold Democrats are today as
firm in their convictions for honest
money and as loyal to their devotion to
principle as they were In 1896. If Mr..
Bryan is again the nominee Of the
Democratic party, they will use, with
slight variation. the words he uttered
in 1896 at Richmond, We will not
come back. If the words Mr..
Bryan uttered 10 1896, portraying the
iniduitIes OF the gold standard, were
the expression OF an honest conviction,
it would be an act of infamy for him to
now compromise with those whom he
once charged with conspiracy to destroy
our homes and fresides. If'his was not
the language Of soberness and truth, II
he was only playing with the arts Of
the demagogue and appealing to the
preiudices and passion of the people,
he 10 dishonest and unfit for the Presi-
dency. Ii he was honest and sincere in
1896, but now willing to acknowledge
himself in error, he Is 30 lacking in
Judgment and SO deficient 10 reasoning
powers as to be utterly incompetent to
be the Chief Executive of the great
republic. The Gold Democrats oil
| the United States will not support
Bryanarchy, with or without silver. u

Concrete masonry Is destined, in the
opinion of the Engineering Record, to
displaoe for many uses not only brick
and stone, but also steel. The pro-
duotion of Portland cement has been
greatly improved in recent years and
knowledge of the hest way OF using it
In building is much enlarged. "Con-
crete masonry structures have already, "
says the Record, become standards, So
to speak, with number Of railroad
companies, and masonry bridges largely
OF concrete are now being constIuc
where these companies would have used
iron or steel but few, years ago.
4Hsthetic considerations do mot govern
in such cases, but ultimate economy is
the ruling factor. Even where the
facing ston rs are dimension OF cut, if q
material portion of the backing is Of
concrete the reduced cost Of the latter
effects SO substantial a saving thai
masonry may now be successful
competitor OF steel.

1.-THE long effort to hold nominal prices
for iron at Pittsburg has ceased, and
the associations now recognize an open
market, in which Bessemer is offered
at $40 and billets at SIG, with grey
forge at SIT. Scarcely single trans
action is repoi ted, buyers abstaining
oven more than when prices were purely
nominal, and while there are many CON
siderable contracts waiting for safe
basis in cost of material, the problem
is rather difficult one. Neither official
nor unofficial accounts have removed
doubts about the wheat crop, aud il it
proves as low as one estimate, AGO.
