ANOTHER BRYANIsM DEAD.

/ 81. LOUIS Ntionc" DtilioNldN.
Many honest people in the dark days
OF the last democratic administration
thought that the main trouble was a
volume OF money too small to trans
act the business of the country and
to give proper mobility to the affairs
of the people. An official statement
has Just been made in relation TO the
per capita question that ought to be
accepted as a full demonstration Of
the soundness Of he republican view
Of this matter. The per capita has
enormously increased under the gold
standard. There is a vast enlargement
of the number OF dollars in circula-
tion. and surely it is an advantage to
the people that every one OF these
dollars is on a parity with gold. Since
April /. 1896, the volume Of money in
circulation has increased to the sur
prising extent of $4s2, 2,645,O4S. sum
that would buy more than SlOOO.OO0.-
0GO worth Of silver bullion. Through
republican success the circulating me-
dium has been enlarged by an aver
age of $l2S,OOO,OOO a year in gold, in
trinsically equivalent TO double the
amount in silver. Those who ask for
more per capita in dollars OF reduced
and uncertain value are getting 1t in
dollars tina; pass for 100 cents abroad
as well as at home. Their demand
has been met, the difference being that
the dollars are worth more than double
those that they proposed.
On the first day Of the present month
the volume of money circulating in
the United States was found, for the
first time, to have gone above the
$1,000, 900, 900 mark Assuming tine pres
ent population Of the United States to |
be 1885, 100000 the per capita is y26.12.
four years ago on the same date, the
amount was 2l.53. For each individual |
in this country there is in circulation
S4.59 more Of currency than there was
when Bryan was nominated. In the
year the civil war broke out the per
capita was 1888. but little more than
half The present amount The per cap
tia was Sl7.50 in 1870. s194O in 1880
S22.S2 in 1890. and stands at S2612 in
1900. The increase continues steadily.
Under the new financial law national
banks can be started with a capital
Of $4,000. The stock Of gold in the
country since 1896 has increased from
54S9OOO,OOO to 7S5,OOO,OOO. In the same
period the silver in circulation has in
creased $72,OOO,OOO making an aggre-
gate Of $631, 900, JOO Here are figures
that honest believers in more per capita
will admit to be a triumphant vlndica-
ton Of the republican policy.

ONCE is ENOUGH.

Speaking of foreign Intervention in
behalf Of the Beers, a prominent East
ern daily says that neither the British
nation nor the empire will allow any
interference with British plans in
South Africa, and there was no doubt
of this when Lord Salisbury replied to
Secretary Hays letter Of transmittal
and points out that New Zealand has
emphasized the determination of the
United Eropire to settle its own affairs
precisely as the Americans arranged
their terms Of peace at the close Of the
war with Spain"
The poinI is well taken. There were
some powers who would have been only
too glad to interfere but Breat Britain
was not one Of them. That such in
reference would have been as stoutly
resented on our part as on the part Of
Great Britain there is no doubt. There
are still influences at work in that d.
rection, or as the paper above quoted,
puts it:
There are intriguers on the conti-
nent who are hoping that the American
government will be drawn into a Dutch
ambuscade and will be ensnared into
repeating the offer of mediation. The
continental nations have not liked the
era of good feeling between America
and England. They are anxious to have
the friendly relations between those
countries disturbed and broken up, and
are hoping that something like inter-

Possibly Admiral Dewey has already
begun to see through the motives OF
the men who induced him to announce
himself as candidate for the presi-
dency. There is reason to believe that
the admiral was prompted to take the
course he did by some men who before
1896 had great influence in the demo-
cratic party. They did not seek to de-
eeive themselves. probably, as to the
final outcome Of the admirars candi-
dacy, whatever views as to his success
they may have laid before the gallant
old sailor. If Dewey could be elected.
well and good, but the chief thing was
to beat Bryan for the nomination. That
would put back in the hands OF the old
line democrats, whether Dewey was de-
feated or not, the machinery Of the or
ganization wrested from them at the
Chicago convention Of &c through the
refusal Of Mr.. Cleveland 10 actively
participate in the councils Of his party
or to help those who had placed him
in the presidency. The calculations Of
the cld-line democrats was that, after
all, the managing men behind Bryan
we're not in politics for their health,
and that If a sufficiently strong show
ing Of hostility to his denomination on
July could be made, a compromise
candidate already as well known to the
people as Bryan might be chosen. With
Dewey ready to throw into the breach,
they figured victory in the convention
would be easy while the poison of the
Chicago platform, even il reafirmed
before the nomination, would De in a
large part nullified The democratic
national committee would be on.e more
made up Of men with sane ideas about
finance and territorial expansion, and
while defeat would in all probability
be inevitable, democracy would have
returned to its traditions, and might
hope once more TO exercise its lust in
huence in the government Of the roun-
try. For generation at least the par
ty would Be safe from Bryanism and
ills. The manner in which
Dewey's declaration Of his candidacy
has been received by the country. while
1t may not have materially affected the
purpose Of the oId-line democrats. los
sibly revealed TO the admiral that his
hattering advisers merely used him to
get control Of the national machinery
Of their party and had no intention Of
making the tremendous outlay OF time
and money necessary to give him even
a remote chance of election. II the ad-
niral follows out tAe purpose attributed
to him Of running as an Independent |
candidate nothing seems likely to pre-
vent Mr.. Bryans nomination and the
disappearance Of the democracy as a
'irile force in national affairs for years
lnough to bring a aew generation of
voters to the exercise Of the franchise.
