LONDON, July S-Kaffirs were denor
allzed and there was forced liquidation all
round on apprehension over the settle
ment. Some small failures are regarded
as inevitable, and it was rumored that
one large account arranged it's affairs
within the, last few days. The general
IS very peSsiElistic. The other demands
of the market moved independently Of
kaftirs, as no bull account is open.
Americans We're forgotten early, but New
York finally became a buyer of the gran
gers, the Pacific stocks, Chesapeake &
OHIO and Norfolk & Western. The close
was at the top, but London does nothing
and displays no promise of doing any
thlng Paris exchange is 25.16. Yester-
days weakness in exchange increases the
french demand for gold, It's 9Ad being
OHered, While the Bank of England offers
us 9Bd. Accordingly Paris will proba-
bly, take $3.50 900 of the Cape arrival now
at the ref1nerS. The sum of G4O 900 was
sent out today to Guayaquil.

The Terre Haute Gazette" with
fetish like devotion to Free-Trade,
is devoting the major portion of its
editorial space to attacks on the
Protective Tariff. Those who per-
used this interesting paper in 1899
and whose memory serves them can
distinguish an almost atartllng SINH
larty between the arguments then
advanced and those paraded to-day.
The "Gazette" in 1892 derided the
claim that Free-Trade could injure
American industry in any way. The
election was held and we had the
experiment of the Wilson bill. But
why refer to such unpleasant topics3

SiIver's Low Price.

1t would seem as if there is no
bottom price for silver. Time and
again has it seemed that the price
could 60 no lower, yet the fall has
been steady, until now the bullion
value of a silver dollar is less than
~ cents. A remarkable result has
been that the Slamese mints have
ceased coming silver, which is look
ed upon as an initial move of the
East toward the gold basis. The
fall comes at a time when there is a
crisis in the Philippines over the
money question. With silver de-
clining so steadily the exchange
market there has become demoraliz-
ed and financial panic Is immi-
nent.
1t ought to be obvious to all by
this time that mistake has Deen
made when the gold standard was
not established in the Philippines by
Congress. There was a muddled
condition of brain on the part of the
leaders when they forgot so much OF
recent history to suppose that what
was impossible in this country could
be made practicable in the far East.
There is no argument for the gold
standard here that is not more
efectual in relation to the Philip
pines. 1t is true that it would have
been an expensive undertaking and
some great losses would have oc-
CURED, but the situation is all the
worse now. The gold standard
must be established even if the gov.
eminent pays a large part of the ex
penses attending on the change

ippines must go, and it ought to &c
at once.
The nation escaped peril in 1896
which can now be estimated with
some degree of certainty. The
establishment of free silver coinage
five years ago would have by thi.
time reduced US to financial beg
gary and the nation to political i'm
potency. Two-thirds of the ac-
cumulated wealth would have been
swept away and dire disaster would
have almost ruined the country.
Our escape was fortunate, and is ad'
mitted by many former rank free
silverites. Why, then, should il
seem possible or desirable to infict
on our colonies the woes which we
have escaped2-, Philadelphia In
