What the London Finncial News Says | of the Issue in the United States. London, March 10. financial News says: gistion in the United States we masters of the situation. The condition of the affairs in the [nited States Congress demands the immediate attention of the Brit- gb financiers and statesmen. The inde of the world is now in our junds, but it will not remain there, ifthe United States goes to a bime fic basis with free and unlimited coinage of silver. When the addition of silver to the everything in America would take on a new face; jsbor and industry would gain new life. The trip of gold standard on the world would be loosened and prices would rise. Great Britain vould lose her markets in South America, Asia and Europe, and American ships would not be long incapturing the carrying trade of rolume of money, the world. Great Britian need fear no injury to ber trade or investments, if the Re publican party can torce “protection tariff’ as the main issue in the com- ing presidential campaign, but if the free silver dominates the American mind and carries at tke polls, it will bring about a change in England thet will:be ruinous from from its tddenness and severity. The dum- tgo that can be done British manu- fucturers by a protective tariff is ight, compared with the disasters that would be entailed by a change froma single gold to a complete bimetallic standard. It is evident, that the Democratic party will not renominate a man who holds to President Cleveland’s idea Oa money, and the only hope fora Cleveland's financial policy will be in the success ofthe Republicans in the next elec- continuation of Mr. tion. The success of free coinage will bring down the rate of interest on Money and cause an immediate rise in the price of all commodities. When silver becomes primary money the American mines will pour their Products into the mints, and a new ta similiar to that produced by the imue of greeubacks during the civil Gold will leave the banks and enter into competition with tilver in the avenues of trade, and Manufactories of the United States, Which have been shut down or crip Pled since 1892, will again rseume their fight for the English markets.

The Time to Subscerib>. | The old newspaper saying, “now is the time to subscribe,” was never more true than at present.. The times are so full of incident, so many important national and State affairs are shaping themselves for a change that no one can afford to be without a metropolitan daily or weekly paper The St Louis Republic, the greatest Democrtic newspaper is making a special offer of its daily and Sunday paper for three months at $1.50. It is $6 a year by mail. The Twice- a Week Republic is sent two times a week—104 papers in a year—for $layear. In addition all the polit- ical news, it prints every day a spread of general news and features not equaled by any other paper. is Situation in Ohio. Rich Hill Review. Thera are opinions on both sides of the situation. Here is one from a State Senator, who is cashier of the Stillwater Valley Bank. His opinion is worth considering, as it seems perfectly fair under the cir- cumstances: Covington, O., Sept. 10, ’96. O.

Many ex- press themselves that they believe if the election was to be held to day or within ten days, that Bryan would carry the state. I hope he will not only carry Ohio, but the whole coun- try, that the people may be freed from the grasp and greed of the money powers or syndicates. “Equity, justice, morality and sound christianity are on the side of the great producing and toiling masses as against the scheming, av- aricious classes. -“Glad to near from you kind -regarde, J remain, Very truly, A.

Our coffees are the best in will be convineed, we tell the truth ing this demand. One is by break- ing the gold corner and re establish ing bimetallism as the Democrats propose. The Democrats will not buy another dollar of gold from the speculators that it may be immedi ately withdrawn from the Treasury by these same speculators and sold back at an adyancing premium. As soon as Bryan goes into the White House that criminal folly, that worst stupidity in the finance of modern times, will stop. But McKinley is pledged to continue it. The consequences of its continu- ance would be continued depression, characterized by constantly recur ring panics. When the Treasury bids for gold it bidsagainst business. ‘ When the Government of the United States offers a premium for withdrawing money from circulation, the price paid is taken out of agri- culture, of rail roading, of the real estate business, of house-building, of manufacturing, of all other forms of industry. Activity in all lines except broker- age and speculation is checked as soon as the Government begins to bid up the price of money by cffer- jpg bonds for gold. The interest paid on the bonds becomes at once a premium on the gold to be paid by new taxes on the people. Worse than this, the gold itself, as it is forced higher, measures a forced decrease in the rewards of the labor of the people so that they are the less able to pay the new tax- e3 imposed on them. Bat instead of more money to do business in a country which is threat- ened with prostration by a corner in gold, all McKinley has to propose is more taxes. In order to waintain the existing gold standard all he can do will be to issue more bonds! It is this that Chauncey M. De pew, Russell Sage, Perry Belmont and Mark Hanna invite the American people—to four years of more taxes and more bonds as a remedy for the taxation and over issues of bonds.— Post Dispatch. $100 Reward $100.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 5 —Peun- sylvania Democrats to-day wheeled | into line for Bryan and silver. The | gold standard platform adopted at} Allentown three months ago was ex | punged and in its stead a declaration indorsing the candidate and plat form of the Chicago convention. Bryan's name was cheered to the echo, and the protests of the few gold men present were howled down by the enthusiastic delegates. A resolution to depose W. R. Harrity, national committeeman for Pennsyl- vania, and ex chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee, came with- in four votes of adoption. It was decided to fuse with the Populists and they were given four of the Presidential electors. Miss Margaret Ingele, the pretty Kentucky girl, who is creatiwg a scusation in the Blue Grass State by taking the stump for Bryan and silver, is a cousin of Postmaster Charles B. Ingels of this city.

C., Sept. 10.—It is said that vice president Steven- son or Hoke Smith may preside at the democratic clubs convention in St. Louis, October 3 It looks now as if there would be at least 4,000 clubs represented at the gathering. If each club has an average membership of 250, which is said to be a low allowance, the aggrecate number of delegates will reach 12,000. This seems a very large representatioa, but when it is remembered that St Louis alone has 155 clubs within the city limits, with 1,000 clubs in Missouri, and that Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Kan- sar, Nebraska and Minnesota are all well organized and within easy trav- eling distance, it is not difficult to public should not be content until the public press is awakened to its public duties, to its dependence on public support, and to its betrayal or ignoring of its ostensible office— public adviser in chief.” Why has the Courier-Journal changed. t> my professional work.
