Enero dltimos varios Senadores de
Ia oposicion, uno de los cuales lego
d s1tuar la 1sla Bermuda al lado de
Cuba; mientras que otro, aunque lie
va el ronlbrc del celebre autor del
"Novam Organum," no sabemos por
que clase de raciocinio lego 4 cali
fear la isla de Santo Domingo de
"asquerosa llaga, y cancer pestilen-
to-"
Por fortuna, los que tales flores de
retorica usan q falta de instruction,
discretion y conocimiento de las
clenclas sociales y pollticas, no son
todos, nj los mas de los legislatures
que constituyen el ilustrado Senado
de los Estados Unidos.
No falt6 quien rectifcara en- ell mis-
mo recinto senatorial los conceptos
lnjustos e injur iosos para el infortu-
nado pueblo que, en- medic de sus
lamentables turbulencias, quiere pa
gar honradamente Sus deudas Y con-
servar su asendereada Independent
|cia.
cOfende con esto q nadie y menos
que a nadie al Gobierno americana,
que no ha encontrado una sola obie-
ci6n de parte del pueblo dominicano
al prop0sitO de intervenir en- Ia re-
caudaclon de sus rentas y Ell pago de
Sus dcudas2
Al fenomeno, tantas veces repeti-
do en- la historic, de llegar 4 10 lucha

derse, ipor que Sc lie asignan causas
dlstintas de las que los pueblos mas
grandcs del mundo han tenido para
los miSmos proccdimientos, como
hace I'm siglo las tuvo Francia, Y
hace medic siglo tuvicron los mis-

Y no sc olga que la comparaci6n

pueblo pequef1o y pobre, como es
Santo Domingo, donde la cortisima

para la dihcultad de mantener en-
orden un vastO territOrio.
Tratandose de aplicar principles Y

Contineute Americana que una isla
adyaccnte y 10 mas propio y digno
del Gobierno de una gran Naci6n
como los Estados Unidos, seria ca

Pacihcadora, justiciera y ben6fica,
teniendo por base el consentimiento
de todo el pueblo don1inicano, en- vez

NEW YORK Oct. 23.-The stock mar
ket today fell back into the condition
which existed last week before it was
upset in the Unexpected advance in the
Bank of England'S discount rate. The
manner In which trades were made
gave ground for assumption. which was
generally held that intentional restraint
was exercised upon specula tion. IT
was assumed that the banking and
financial world gen ncraly would be glad
TO see restricted speculative activity
but with values ma in tanned or protected
from any violent reaction.
There was some resumption of pres
sure in the market. This was regarded
as natural consequence of yesterday $
sudden rebound and the extent to which
it mad run. The effective recovery was
accepted as demonstration OF the
passing of the result of last week s
money developments and the more ra-
tlonal view of the actual meaning OF
those developments from the point Of
view of American affairs Having eff
fected this demonstration the too rapid
advance was checked and the market
let down into the waiting and resting
condition in which it had fallen last
week.
The measure of relief for money re-
uuircnlents proposed by the secretary
of the treasury was not such as was eN-
pcctcd. Additional bank notes and cur
rencN while calculated to help fill the
demand for the interior circulation. Of
fers no bar for extension of banking
crcui is such as would be provided by
the additional banking reserves by re-
leasing legal tenders from the treasury,
although it Is expected that the neces-
sity of loan con traction will be limited
owing E to the relief of the cash reserves
from drain on the circulation by ship
ment in lieu of new bank note issues,
The treasury plan was so far q dis
appointment to speculation. But the
effect of this was neutralized by the
understanding that other means of re-
lief were considered inopportune by
New York bankers owing to the pros
pcct that any considerable easing or
the New York money market would
facilitate demand to withdraw gold
for London account.
The London money market was un-
derstood to be the real point of strain
and the prospect of relief for that point
from other sources than New York was
believed to be more likely in the abb
sence of too sudden a relaxation of con-
ditions here. The movement of sterl-
ing exchange in all markets showed the
effect of Londons s imperative call for
the return of credits. But the bullion
movement of the Bank of England
showed again an outgoing of further
shipments to Egypt.
Call loans opened at 5la per cent and
receded from that level. 1t is clear,
however. that financial sentiment is
well agreed as to the wisdom of mod
crate extension in speculation while
requirements confront the money mar
ket as heavy a those to be met in the
coming months. After the early SELL
ing was over a recovery set i'll which
became practically complete in the final
hour. although there was a slightly
ire gular tone in the final dealings.
Bonds We're heavy. Total sales par
