1R RRYAN,S GROWTH.

In casting about for justification oil ther
conduct in supporting Bryan this year some OF
those who opposed him four years ago with zeaI
and anparent conviction have hit upon the
theory that he is a widely different man now
from what he was then. In maintenance or
this convenient assumption they have been at
much pains TO explain that he has undergone
great and obvious change for the better
They say that they find in his public utter
ances convincing proofs that study, observation
and reflection have enlarged his views, sODereu
his Judgment. raised a naturally alert mlnd 10
a high degree of efficiency as a thinking ma
chine and invested him with deep sense or
personal responsibility In short, he now ap-
pears before the country as striking and noble
example of intellectual and moral development
which should leave no unbiased citizen IN DOUBT
of his capacity and determination to admin
lister the Government in case of his elecuon'
with wisdom and honor.
At Monett Mo- the other day. Mr. Bryan
spoke follows
The Republicans now boasting that we
have reached point where we can loan money
to people in other countries. want to ask you
whether you regard that as an evidence or pros
perity. Why would any man send ms money 10
Europe for investment If he could f1nd place
in this country to invest it? Money sent abroad
for investment must be sent for of two rea
sous-either because the man who sends the
money over there thinks more of the people over
there than he does of the people here and does
1t for love and devotion, or because 1t is mat
ter Of business-that is, because he can invest
IL to better advantage in a European country
than he can in this country.
It would be a waste of space to contrast at
length the exposition of himself which Mr..
Bryan here makes with the conception of him
which some of his new advocates have latterly
pretended to form. 1t suffices to say that in
these sentences he reaches at least as low a
level of ignorance or dishonesty. or both. as
he ever reached in the campaign of 1896, and
thus compels those who have undertaken to
demonstrate his growth in mind and morals to
negin their dreary task all over again.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

There is no longer complaint OF dulness in the
stock market, for sales reached q large aggre-
gate last week 1t a session of almost un-
interrupted liquidation. Rallies were too brief
to make any impression, and the net result was
a decline Of 81 q a share for the average of
sixty railway securities while industrials were
still weaker, led by Tennessee Coal and Iron,
which fell $11 10. Prices are not lower because
Of decreased railway earnings. as there is a gain
each week over every previous year, in spite of
many incidents calculated to curtail traffic.
Lower rates to facilitate the iron movement to
the seaboard for export will help Southern ton
mage, and the interruption caused by the storm
in Texas will not last, as repairs are being
pushed rapidly The coal strike occurred too
late in the season to affect freights extensively
most winter supplies having already reached
dealers.
Somewhat firmer rates for money may be con-
sidered the only logical cause for selling securi-
ties, but it is still possible to borrow largely at
from to AZ per cent until after election An
other heavy loss in the surplus reserve should
occasion no ALARM there is still $16552 825 in
excess Of requirements and selling of margined
stocks will make further reduction in the loan
item this week, unless operations in connection
with foreign bonds are more extensive than now
seems probable. The movement to the interior
for grain and cotton handling comes later than
usual this year, owing to large deposits in West
ern and Southern banks, and consequently will
not reach the customary proportions Hence
there will not be the necessity for a heavy de-
crease In loans the case in the last two
weeks of September 1899 In order to prevent a
deficit below legal requirements Weekly re-
turns of foreign commerce at this port indicate
another heavy trade balance for the month ex =
ports exceeding last years by 3S per cent in two
weeks while imports in three weeks are smaller
than a year ago.
Instead or the coal strike spreading 10 the
iron and steel industry. there are many reports
OF satisfactory adjustment OF wages and re-
sumption OF work More mills and furnaces
are now in operation than at any time since
early in the summer, and while the sharp fall

necessary the general average is higher than
