the United States that will follow. It
viii be too late when the storm breaks
in all its devastating fury and the
death knell to millions of dollars now
profitably invested is sounded, and
the cry of distress from the hungry
is borne on every br eeze that sweeps
over our land, to try to avoid the con-
sequences. The weaker will go down
first, and, as usual in panics, the
workingmen and those depending upon
them will bear the brunt Of 1t all.
The business interests of this coun.
try must and will adjust themselves
to whatever changes will be made In
legislation affecting them, but no man
can estimate the results. These will,
and can only be determined by the
changes made, the length of time re-
quired in making them, and their
bearing upon the business interests of
the country
Business men, as well as the labor
Ing classes, must protect themselves,
and as far as possible aid in protect
ing the country from the theories Of
the demagogues. The election of Mr..
Bryan must be considered as busi-
ness matter, and it's effects on the
business interests of the country thor
oughly studied. The results of the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and a DEM
ocratic congress should be an expert
ence from which the American people
should profit for some years yet, at
least. -Thos. II. Baker, Jr.

A Story of Anthony Hone.

Anthony Hope Hawkins. always a.
believer in men of letters standing by
each other, worked tremendously hard
to help on the fund which the Authors"
society of London is trying to accumu-
late, from which pensions are to be-
paid to authors whose literary merit
has not brought them a corresponding
income and who view increasing years
with fear.
Once an unfortunate writer who WIS.,
tied Mr.. Hawkins at his rooms In,
Buckingham street. by the Embark

with something in his pocket, "Oh, sir,

me to your

his benefactor's eye. LET us hope,
however, that Providence will not ac-

savings Bank Deposits Belle Bryan.


Much solicitude has been expressed
by our opponents for the depositors in
savings banks. They constantly pa.
rade before these depositors the adj
vantages of gold standard, but these
appeals will be In vain, because saw
ings bank depositors know that under
a gold standard there is increasing
danger that they will lose their
deposits because of the inability of the
banks to collect their assets; and they
Still further know that, If the gold
standard is to continue indefinitely,
they may be compelled to withdraw
their deposits in order to pay living ex-
penses. -Bryan's First Battle.
Since that was uttered savings bank
deposits have grown enormously. In
the year 1894, under Democratic free
trade, S.413,477 depositors in savings
banks had 1895. 450. 416 to their credit:
in 1899 the number OF depositors had
grown to 4.264,516. and the money de-
noaifed TO 81 .7s2.s744 s1.

INCAPABLE OF sELF-GovERNMENT.

Only Few Designing Filipino
Leaders Are Making the Mischief.
DIR. j. Sanger, formerly of San Fran
cisco, but for the past six years a
practicing physician in Manila, is now
visiting Washington. He says:
eff Bryan is defeated at the polls IL
November the Filipino rebellion will
crumble away like a house of cards.
1t is only kept alive by the hope that
the Democrats will be successful il
the November elections.
"The Filipinos are no more capable
of self-government than the American
Indians are capable of conducting the
government of the United States. The
Tagals are the only tribe that make
any pretense to education. and only
a very small portion of them can read
and write. In point of numbers they
are one Of the weakest tribes in the
Philippines, and as they are hated by
the other tribes there would be con-
slant war should the Tagals attempt
to govern the islands.
"The desire for self-government is
confined to few inscriptions lead
ers, who would rob the country and
then escape to live in luxury in Paris
or some other European capital, While
the powers of the old world gobbled
up the islands No one familiar with
the Philippine islands has the faintest
idea that a Filipino government IS
even remotely possible.

England Fayors Bryan's Election.

England Favors Bryan's Election.
One of the bogus issues raised in the
present campaign by the Democratic
party in order to play upon the preju.
dices of class of American voters Is
the secret alliance DOGGY. Not scin-
tilla of evidence has ever been fur
nished upon which to base the declara-
ton, yet it has been dwelt upon with
the same persistence and demagogfc
iteration as the imperialistic fiction.
AS the imperialistic DOGGY is dwelt
upon to mask the real issue, so the
secret alliance cry is persisted in to
deceive that class of voters it is hoped
to influence through national preju-
dices.
The fact is, England desires the elec-
ton of Bryan. Two great English
journals, the London Spectator and
the London Truth, have made no
scruple to declare that it is for the in,
terest of Great Britain and would bt:
most gratifying to her if Bryan shouts
be successful in TIL American rresl.
Dental contest. Senator Derew OF
New York recently arrived from a
visit to Europe, and upon being inter.
viewed, declared that there was nc
doubt of a prevailing sentiment in
England in favor of Bryan's election
Now, it would seem from these facts
that if the detested secret alliance
exists. Great Britain would be quite
willing to forego all the benefits de,
rived from it in exchange for the
greater advantages that would accrue
from the election of Mr.. Bryan. But,
as Senator Depew says England's So
licitude for Bryan's election is prompt
ed by a selfish motive. 1t is none 9TH
er than "commercialism," that thing
which Democratic leaders affect 50
