New York, November s.-The Commercial Advertisers London cablegram:
 There was rather more general business in the markets here today, including re- viva1 In home rails, which spurted on clos ing of bear contracts on the news that coal contracts have been made at a reduction of six shillings. Americans were less ex- cited, but still very active, large lines changing hands on professional dealings. The public and the continent is still stand ing aloof. London took profits all day, while New York bought, thus causing see-saw- ing market.
 Money was harder on the withdrawal of f3 GOO, 900 war loan instalment, and the i'm pending big payments on exchequer bonds and treasury bills. The Bank of England returns surprised the market by disclosing that the bank had borrowed f1,5OO,0Oo mak- ing d consequent reduction of f2,OOO,000 in the market balances, despite f1,50OO 900 gov- ernment disbursements. Silver fell a farth- dng, which was popularly attributed to Bryans defeat, but was really owing to the fact that there was little demand in a narrow market.

London cotnued a heavy seller and there was an enormous amount of do- mestic profit taking. Prices continued to advance, however, under the enormous buying orders which poured in from all parts of the country. The local fractions were prominent features of strength and activity.

Discussing THE RAKE-OFF.

The Contractors Syndicate was wildly
alarmed yesterday over the prospect of
defeat for its bond grab. 1t got out
circulars IN favor of its scheme and
distributed them over the city for Sun
day perusal. 1t even went TO the length
of distributing its appeal for Overdraft
bonds at the doors of the tabernacle.
There is no evidence that it had public
prayer offered up for the bonds, but
that was probably an oversight.
But why all this expenditure of
money? If the bonds are such good
thing for the taxpayers, why is it nee
essary to invade religious meetings on
the Sabbath to secure their approval?
The Syndicate will have carriages out
today; it will have hired men working
for bonds at the polls; it viii throw off
it's mask and prove that the bonds
promise so much profit that the bank
ers and contractors can afford to pay
freely for the success of the grab game.
The taxpayers ought to see that such
liberality and zeal is rewarded as it
should be. by voting

TRIBUTE TO AN OPPONENT.

The Washington Post is no friend of
Mr.. Bryan. 1t wants Mckinley elected,
for it has supported his administration
as enthusiastically as many rank
party organ has been able to do. But
the Post says it is no use to sneer at
Bryan or to attempt to discredit the
greatness of the man.
'The astounding campaign which he
conducted subsequently has no parallel
in the chronicle of American politics"
says the Post. Almost unknown, back
ed by demoraIized and divided party
organization; without money; aban-
doned by the Cleveland faction; ridi-
culed and misrepresented; fighting
against the most desperate odds, in
Guiding the Democratic administration
and all its hirelings and beneficiaries,
this youthful stranger from the far
west brought out nearly 100000 votes
more than Mr.. Cleveland, with all his
eastern millionaires behind him. had
been able to summon to the polls four
years before. and forced the Repub-
lican party TO levy on every Gad's hill
in the land for its salvation"
This means that it is dangerous for
Republican leader to attempt the argu-
ment of ridicule in this campaign. The
Post warns against it. One whom the
people trust as they trust Bryan it
does not pay to belittIe. 1t is an insult
to the American public mo sane man
or honest opponent affects to hold Mr..
Bryan in contempt this year." and the
Post continues: NO man at once in
telligent and honest ventures to dis
miss him from the equation of 1900 as
factor of small consequence Even
the New York Sun. perhaps the most
ardent and eager Republican organ in
the country, felt called upon, some
weeks ago, to pay tribute to the mans
consistency and courage. Indeed, Mr.
Bryan stands upon his own feet, a per-
feet specimen of physical, intellectual
and moral strength. He is no trimmer
He does not go to the people for as
surance and encouragement. He draws
them to him, and he holds them by his
una;ded power. His face reveals his
character. It is a face without soft
ness and equally without cruelty. 1t
is the face of a man who does not
yield. who cannot be tempted or ca
joled-the face of one who believes alb
solutely in himself-the face of an en-
thusiast, a fanatic, if you will, but of
a leader and a giant among men
He is one of the people. and their
confidence in him has grown for four
years. If the masses of the voters of
this republic can have their way he
will be elected president this fall by an
Overwhelming majority.

TRADE AND THE FLAG.

Administration shOuters keen on tell
ing the people that trade follows the
flag" and that our excuse for holding
the Philippines is 10 secure the com
merce Of that region.
Let us see how trade follows the
flag. Last week the bureau of customs
and insular affairs at Washington is
sued bulletin showing the imports at
Manila during the calendar year for
1899. 1t seems to indicate that, while
we have furnished the sacrifices and
stood the expense. Great Britain and
China have reaDed the bulk of the
benefits derived from Philippine trade.
The imports by countries show: From
China, $6.796.769; England, $S,102. 72S;
United States, 81, $780, 1854; British East
Indies. s1,219,5O2. The imports of gold
coin were $52.520 from the British East
Indies and $75. 425 from China The i'm
ports of silver coin were 1922, $40 from
the British East Indies and $71S,55
from Hongkong
The significance of this array of fig
ures is that the United States is being
used as a catspaw for Great Britain,
whose combined trade of 81, 922, go with
that from China, which is largely con-
tracted by English middlemen and mer-
chantmen, makes the little business
done by the ruling country seem small
indeed.
If trade follows the flag, why is it
that outside nations are faring so much
better than we are? And how does it
happen that our chief export trade is
with countries whose gateways we do
not guard with garrisons or fleets and
with colonies we never tried to con-
quer or claimed to own?
For instance. me last report of the
treasury department, just received,
shows thai our agricultural products
have built up our foreign trade; that
the demand for foodstuffs abroad has
made this a commercial nation of ex-
traordinary growth and prominence.
American beef is finding an enlarged
market in the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and Africa. Comparing the
exports of the eleven months ending
with May. 1900. with those of the same
months of the preceding fiscal year. it
is found that the United Kingdom in
creased her purchases Of canned beef
from $1.95s. 600 to s2.S7S. O90; France in
creased hers from sSl,O57 to s117.2
while Germany showed a slight de-
crease, the value falling from $2S1, 942
to $241, 5eS. as a result of retaliation for
now satisfactorily settled.
To Africa the increase was from
$4S7. 722 to S1OS3, 200. In the export of
fresh beef, the principal increases are

THAT PANIC SCARECROW.

Goldbug organs are working over
time these days with the panic scare
crow used with such effect 1896 The
local Republican sheet is the most
diligent of the entire lot. And this re-
,alls that very good answer to its
scare shrek of yesterday may be
found in its own editorial columns.
Whether It was written and printed
four years ago makes no difference,
for il says the principle of independ-
ent bimetallism is sacred and eternal
and that mo honest friend of the white
metal will ever abandon the cause I'M
til the fight is WON
1t has disposed OF the educated
idiots who raise the panic alarm. as
follows:
"a gentleman asked the writer of
this yesterday: If the Democratic con-
vention goes in favor of free silver and
a candidate is nominated on a free sill
yer plank. will not the money power
precipitate a panic that will ruin ev-
erybody? OF course, no one in this re-
gion can anticipate what the money
power will try to do to carry out their
deep-laid plan, but we beg to tell the
people not to worry; that if they should
do their worst it would simply be the
beginning of a transformation in favor
of the right We viii suppose a silver
candidate shall be nominated. We will
suppose that then the old coward, gold,
pegins 10 go into hiding as it always
docs when trouble is anticipated We
win suppose that the reserve drops be-
low the danger point and that gold
goes to a premium. OF course, a sub
