BRYAA'S IDEA In MESSAGE.
RECOGNITION OF MONETARY THEORIES
OF DEFEATED DEMOCRAT.
Movement will Be Begun to Establish a
Standard for Silver Ratio. Severe
Strain on Gold Supply of World.

President RooseYelt's message to
congress, transmitted last week, con-
stitutes la most remarkable recogni-
tion of some of the monetary theories
advanced by Mr.. Bryan, says Wash
ington dispatch. Accompanying the
presidents communication were notes
received from Mexico and China re-
questing the United States to join
with them in an International move.
ment to establish a standard of silver,
the depreciation and fuctuation of
which was causing untold loss to the
countries named and the Philippines
and French and British colonies. In
view of the fact that demonstration
has resulted in so serious a deprecia-
tion of silver, it is suggested that the
ratio now be fixed at 80 to l. The
president requests that he be empow-
cred to take the steps suggested. He
has also requested that congress au-
thOrize the appointment of three com
miSsiOners to meet with commission
ers from the countries named and an
effort will be made to enlist the coop
GRAFTON of Great Britain and France.
Addressing himself to the subject of
the proposed plan, a leading member
of the senate, and one who has most
vigorously opposed every tn cory al
vanced by Mr.. Bryan, said to the cor
respondent: 'On its surface the plan
appeals To me. If we were TO insist on
gold basis in the Philippines and it
were to become necessary for all the
silver using countries to follow suit, it
would certainly prove severe strain
on the gold supply of the world and
would probably result in an apprecia-
tion of our own currency. OF course
this is not a scheme for silver stand
ard but for gold standard with prac-
tical bimetallism. The gold would be
the yardstick by which the silver
would be measured. The increased
and steady demand for silver would
probably prevent further depreciation
of the value of the metal which is Sc
riOusly affecting all silver using and
producing countries. AS great pro-
ducers of silver we are of course vitality
interested in anything which can be
done for silver. [ hope and believe
that the scheme will be found practi-
cable and that all the silver using
countries having silver using colonies
will agree on establishing the value
of silver on a basis of 81 to l.

KING EDWARD AND COTTON.
A Cuthbert Dealer Sent interest

From the Cuthbert Leader.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
Monday Mr.. A. j. Moye received a
telegram from a cotton concern with
which he is doing business stating that
the king of England was sick and that
the Liverpool market was off two
points. Immediately Mr.. Moye tele-
graphed at the company's expense his
regrets TO learn of the kings illness,
and begged to be kept posted as to his
royal condition.
Mr.. Moye says he has ascertained by
cablegram that King Edward drank
too much on Saturday night and Sun
day and was merely suffering from a
severe headache. He is now about
straight, and the cotton market ought
to improve.

The city of Forsyth has enacted a

Revolution in Panama,

Ever since the rejection by the United
States of Colo mbia of the treaty between that
government and the United States relative to
the proposed Panama Canal there has been
unrest in the State of Panama. Three months
ago the secession of Panama from Colombia
was remored, and on November 3 the indepen-
dence of Panama was proclaimed. The local
officials of the Government were seized and
the troops sent out of the State. A govern
ment was organized and preparations to de.
fend it were made. On Friday the President
recognized the belligerency of the new gov
eminent of Panama and United States war
vessels were sent to isthman waters TO protect
the railroad from Colon to Panama, and n
number of marines landed.
Il has been charged that French and United
States interests in the Panama Canal urged and
aided the secession of Panama from Colombia
and that politicians in Panama engineered the
establishment of an independent republic, in
order to profit by the building of the Canal
There is much probability in these charges, land
the swiftness of President Roosevelt to recog
nize the new republic indicates that assurance
of such action must have been communicated
to the reyolutionists in advance of their coup.
The Panama route is cheaper to build than
the Nicaragua route, less expensive to main
tain and shorter, but it was not at all probable
that secession was necessary to obtain the
right of way across the Panama isthmus. The
advocates of the Nicaragua route in the Sen
ate may move an investigation into the Pa
mama secession and the haste of the President
in extending recognition, and the Canal will
be matter of earnest and long drawn out
ahafn
