Every few days bring announcements of another shipment of British gold to the United States, and appeals are made for its acceptance by the Treasury. —which now has more of the yellow metal than it needs. Are the Britishers and gold power still scheming against the silver theory even to this extent? Mi. Bryan has ‘'consented to appear at an Arkansas county fair and make a short speech for the trifling sum of §SOO, This is a big drop from the $1,500 figure which lie made for the Ohio Democrats, though the fact that they did not close with his proposition may have affected his scale of prices somewhat.

One ounce of silver was equal to one bushel of wheat in value on Sept 1, 1896. On September 1, 1897, it took two ounces of silver to buy a bushel of wheat. No wonder the silver men are now “explaining in low tones” the mistakes which they made last year in claiming that wheat and silver went hand-in-hand.

The latest reports of industrial activity comes from Pennyslvania. The Philadelphi Press has thoroughly canvassed-the State, inquiring as to business conditions, factory hands employed, wages being ' paid, and the amount of work done and the reports show a large and steady growth in all lines. Every section of the state is receiving increased orders and business and labor is in demand.

Colorado will add 820.000,000 to the gold of the country this year from her own mines. The total gold production of the world in 1897 will, it is now believed, ag-. gregate $250,000,000, a sum vastly greater than is needed to keep pace with the growth of population and business of the world. Is it Mark Hanna or the Gold Powers of Europe that is responsible for this?

No Democratic orator in Ohio, Maryland, or New York has opened his lips on the silver question, and those who attempted or proposed to do so were promptly silenced by the chairman of the party. When it is considered that the Democratic party and platform only one year ago discussed nothing but silver, the rapidity of the change which has come over the public mind under the prosperity following the enactment of the protective tariff is phenomenal, and justifies the thousands of Democrats who refused to follow this party in this mad proposition for cheap money. The bank clearings for September have been enormous. It does not seem possible that they could be so large in view of their shrunken condition of last winter. But according to Bradstreet's the September clearings of 78 important cities in the country amounted to $5,521,933,000, which is fifty per cent, over the corresponding period of last year, when Bryan was Btumping the country. The slide which the New York Democrats have made from free silver to single tax, in the selection as Henry George, may perhaps be xmsidered an indication of what

the whole Democratic party is coming to. It is perfectly evident that if silver won’t do for a State campaign, neither will it do for another national issue, and so it is necessary for the Democratic leaders to cast about , for spine other “principle " The Wilson law found the ware-, houses and docks of the country filled with foreign goods waiting to come in under it and swell its receipts, and the Dingley law found the country already filled with foreign goods which had paid duty before it came into operation. Yet tlie Dingley law in its second month came within three million dollars of meeting current expenses, while the Wilson law in its second month fell thirteen millions, short of the expemli hires. : 7
