Mr. McKinley, it ought to

thousands of votes in t h e

A Gold Standard Panic.
News and Observer.
At the very hour on Mon
day that the republicans in
the House of Representatives
in Washington as passing
the bill 'to establish a single
gold standard and turn the
issue of paper money over to
the National bank trust a
measure demanded by t h e
men who put up the money
to buy the election of McKin
ley at that very hour Wall
street was in the throes of
panic and the rate of inter
est rose to 185 per cent. If
the gold standard act precip
itated a panic, what a train
of evils may we not expect
when its perfect work of con
traction has had time to
grow?
If the advocates of the gold
standard bill are right in say
ing that we have money en
ough, why is the birth of the
act heralded with so fierce a
demand for money that men
frantically offer 185 per cpnt
for it?
The panic in the stock mar
ket in New York followed' 8
like panic in gold standard
London, cut off from the
steady increase in gold trom
the Transvaal which has
brightened times for the past
year, the London stock ex
change went into a panic. A
telegram to the New York
World tells what happened:
London. Dee, 19. The pan
ie on the London Stock Ex
change today, caused by the
reverse of Gen. Buller, was
unexampled in the memory
of the livinR. The opening
scene was like bedlam, the
jobbers shouting like mani
acs at each other, their faces
wild with excitement and
their hair disordered. All
their cries and gestures were
those or demented creatures.
The best reputed Knifir
stock, that of the Rand
mines, fell six points in a few
minutes. Others were totally
unsalable at any price.
Many men were ruined in
half an hour. Some were to
be seen sitting on the steps,
pictures of desolation nnd de
jection.
. When the first violent stage
of the panic had exhausted
itself the members resigned
themselves to a settled gloom
and a more miserable collec
tion of human beings could
scarcely be found on the face
of the earth. There was no
hope to be gained from any
quarter.
This scene ofhysteiicnlfear
was a striking contrast to
those witnessed on the declar
ationof war, when, in ram-
It has been domonstrated
repeatedly in every state in
the Union and in many for
eign countries thatChamber
Iain's Cough Remedy is a
certain preventativeanu cure
for croup. It has become the
universal remedy for that
disease. M. V, Fisher of Lib
erty, IV. Va., only repeats
what has been said around
the globe when he writes 'I
have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in my family
for several years, and always
with perfect success. We be
lieve that it is not only the
best cough remedy, but that
it is a sure cure for croup. It
has saved the lives of our
children a numbers of time."

pant jingoism, the stock ex
change members sang the
"Soldiers of the Queen," and
in cowardly vain glory dis
patched this insulting cable
to Kruger:
"For what von are. about
to receive may the Lord make
yon truly thankful."
Commencing on these pan
ics in the two money centers
of th English speaking world
the Columbia State, with
much force speaks words of
truth and so.berness, as fol
lows: "Yesterday's stock and cot
ton market in New York was
but the reflex of Saturday's
panic in London. The British
speculators simply handed
"hysterical fear" on to 'ours.
And the fear was of the
stoppage and loss of t h e
Transvaal gold snpplv.
"There might be devised a
better illustration of the dan
ger of the financial svstern
about to be clinched upon
this country but wedoubt it.
So far as the republicansand
renegade democrats can com
pass it the business of the U
nited States will be made to
stand on one monetary foot.
Somebody like Paul Kruser
comes along and steps on
and crushes a toe of that
foot and the huge body
writhes and collapses. The
democratic party believes in
standing on both, feet, on
both metals, so that if one
support falls the other ie
mains. While we have the sin
gle gold standard we shall be
constantly at the mercy of
accident and exposed to de
structive panic.
"We hope most sincerely
that the apprehensions we ex
pressed last summer of the fi
uancial consequences of the
then pending war in South
Africa may not be further
justified than they have been
in thelast few davs;t hat there
will be relief and recovery.
But there will be no perma
nent safety for business for
business Until we have asour
standard of value something
more than a metal so limited
in supply that the prospec
tive loss of one year's produc
Hon of one country will breed
terror and break prices."
If such a panic as struck
New York on Monday had
followed the passnge of a free
coinage bill in the House of
Representatives, tha bi-tuet-allists
wjnuld have been held
responsible for the destruc
tion of American commerce
and of smirching "national
honor." It may not be true
that the gold standard bill
actually pro luced the panic.
It is true that itdid not have
the power to avert it.
