AN UNPARALLELED RECOVERY

From the New York Financier.
August s, 1895, marked the elimination OF
the 1896 panic in stock exchange circles. On
that date prices went tumbling, business was
denoralized, and conditions generally were the
reverse OF stable.
What a contrast August s, 1900, presents in
comparison. Probably the most signal instance
OF the change is found in the peculiar signif'
cance of event which marked the fourth an.
niversary OF the 1896 financial collapse. On last
Tuesday exactly four years later, the announce
ment was made by the press that the United
States had been awarded onehalt the British
war loan OF $50, 900 900, and that the allotments
on this side of the water had been largely over
subscribed. From the position Of a nation which
the world regarded with suspicion because Of
an attempt at reputation, the United States
has in period short as to seem to date
almost from yesterday, risen to the dignity OF
the foremost financial country in the world.
In the four years spanning the first rejection
of the free silver doctrine the United States
has made a progress beside which all previous
growth appears small Europe was glad to
unload American securities on the market in
1896; the United States has been glad TO buy
them back ever since. In the four years since
1895 American manufacturers and producers
have conquered the worlds markets; they have
sold abroad and onehalf thousand millions
in commodities above what they have bought
lncy nave lOICcu an iHlpoIt VI soiu VIC NM
to which was only lesscned by Europe's bid to
retain portions at higher interest, and now with
banks and treasury overlooking with the best
money in the world with prosperity above any
thing dreamed Of in 1885, the United States
takes half Of the s5o,OOO0O0 foreign bond issue,
and would take it all ii permitted
England is not alone in turning to the United
States for financial assistance. Russia has placed
a semi .publc loan with American financial in
stitutions, and German bonds are being adver'
tised in the public press.
In the light Of facts like these it seems like
a trayesty on common sense to witness the
spectacle Of party entering on a campaign with
free silver as the trap and foolish theory o'
colonial government as the bait. The rise in Sc
curty prices over a long period ia not gov
erned by manipulation that a comparison OF
quotations of August S, 1896. and August 8, 1900
is really valuable in affording an illustration Of
the change in sentiment since Mr.. Bryan de-
clared the country to be on the highroad to de.
struction. In order to show the relative range
in 1890, the highest prices OF that year are also
recorded:

Arkansas, the chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, offered in
the senate an amendment to the Porto
Rican act providing for the repayment
of duties on articles imported from
Porto Rico since the occupancy by the
United States--a proposition, which 1t
was clearly shown. would have result
ed in the payment of about S1,5O0000
to the sugar trust; while Represen-
tatlve Richardson. the leader of the
Democratic side Of the house and
chairman of the Democratic congress
slonal committee, offered I'm that body
a resolution admitting free of duty
sugar from Porto Rico and Cuba,
which, 1t is conceded would have been
equivalent to presenting the sugar
trust with about S16,OOO,0OO annually.

trusts only for campaign purposes.

Shaw strongly recommended changing
Memorial Day to the last Sunday in

said, sit is believed that the holy

dissertations which now largely pervert
