As every one knows, Mr. Cleveland did as he was asked, and a great wave of indignation swept over the country at the news. Profits of $10, 000,000 pat in the pockets of a for eign syndicate for the askiDg, when this amount might have been saved to the government! Is it any wonder that people cried out: "What it does all meant" The farsighted managers of the syndicate clearly saw that the $10, 000,000 at the beginning was only a small part of the profit in this con tract. They had the pledge of the government to offer all bond issues up to October to the combination, so they had the backing of this great country for their operations. It the syndicate had imported $32,000 000, it would have cost them, according to an exchange expert, about 2 cents an English pound, or $128,000 ex pense for the $32,000,000. But, as a matter of fact, only about $13,000, 000 came to this country, so, as tar as cau be seen, the total expense borne by the syndicate was about $.j2,000. The syndicate is nothing more than a gigantic trust and takes profits out of the country at its own figures, lhink of it! This little group of capitalists forcing the enormous import trade of the United States to pay whatever price it may choose to ask for money with which to pay debts abroad! Was there ever anything like itl REALLY WORTH TALKING OF. Yet that is just what Mr. Cleve land and this sagacious Secretary of the Treasury have done cot-signed us to tne tenner mercies ot a group of bankers, whose whole passion in lite and reason for being are to amass all the wealth possible in their short lives. Isn't this a subject none of ' worth talking aboutf Suppose a Ke- publican President had done this tiling! Why, the Democratic news papers would have had hysterics un til they had reached a condition of hopeless dementia. No wonder, then, that the foreign bankers who were seen by the writer either professed absolute ignorance of exchange conditions, or said, "Well, now, if I were you I wouldn't tackle this subject; it is very intri cate and difficult to understand; and anyhow, the syndicate does not care to have the matter discussed." There is no doubt that the syndi cate does not wish to have the sub ject discussed, and right here it should be said that the Press was the first paper to draw attention to it That was about two weeks ago, and now everybody in Wall street has tnlron it lin.

Importers have stood it patiently tor a long time, hoping that rates would soon come down, but the tax is too oppressive and they can stand it no lonirer, so the complaints are grow ing in volume, day by day, as the retes will keep around 4.00. WRETCHED MISMANAGEMENT. It should not be forgotten that the real reason the syndicate is enabled to keep the rates at such exorbitant figures is because wretched Demo cratic mismanagement has increased our enormous debt abroad. If trade were in a normal condition there would be no demand for exchange, and even the tremendous power of the syndicate could not keep up the rates. Now, suppose you have a bill to pay in London of 1,000 and you buy a 1,000 bill of exchange, or a draft on a foreign bank (which is the same thing) from a member of the syndicate. At present rates he will charge you $4,902.50, as exchange is now at $4.90 1-4. Sterling exchange at par is $4.86 2-3 the value of an English pound in our money. Now your bill of 1,000 is worth in Lon don $1,800.50 on the basis of actual weight. As the banker here charges vou $4 902.50 for the draft, he ap- narPTitlv makes the difference be tween the iwo amounts, or$3G. RESENTMENT NATURAL. DEMOCRACY IN THE WEST.

We present below an editorial rom the Chicago Dispaich, which is a strong, independent Democratic aper. The Caucasian does not entertain the slightest belief tat the olicy of the Dispatch reforming the Democratic party can ever be carried ont; and it believed that the only true, sure way to rt-t-btablishiEg right and justice in this country is for the misses to stand by the prin ciples fit the Peoples party. Hut we give the editorial aa showing the prevalent sentiment of the West. It seems that those Western Democrats ought to be convinced now that Na tional Democracy is past redemp tion as an organization in which con fidence can be reposed; but there is encouragement in the utterances of the Dispatch, for it has the boldness to say that it will not tolerate auy double-dealing and ftraddliuo hi the next campaign.

Wellkville, Ohio, July 19. To the Editor: 1 have received your interest ing paper. 1 prefer to act with a party that in the action of its representatives in congress has carried out its platform utterances for silver.

We have a club to distribute Populist literature! only. ours, A. J. v an Dyke. Here is the Dispatch's comments: Thousands of sample copies of The Weekly Dispatch have fallen into the hands of Populists, aud the foregoing is a pretty fair sample of a large number of letters received from them. The Dispatch makes no war on the Populist party; it indorses many of the plan ks of the Oraaha platform; but it seeks to unite the Democrats and Populists in a common cause. The great issue before the American people today is the restoration of the people s rights, ine road to victory is through Jeffer.-onian Democracy. The Populists claim that tnev con stitute the only true Democracy. To some extent the claim is well found ed. It is true that the Democratic party has wandered away after false gods; it has compromised with mon opoly and corporation greed, and a section is now worshiping at the shriue of the single-gold-money standard. The Dispatch is on earth to call a halt and to help draw the line be tween the people and their enemies. This paper calls upon the Democrat ic party to return to the people, knowing that if it does so the people will return to it. If its managers persist in saddling corporation and monopoly-made platforms upon the party the rank and tile will be justi fied in revolting, and Lhe uispatcn will lead such revolt if circumstances occur to warrant it in such a course. Meauwhile we appeal to the whole Democracy of the country, whether . a part of that constituency be mar shaled under the Populist party, the Democratic party or other political organization, to unite a3 one body under the grand old historic Demo cratic flag, to cast off and repudiate gold monometallists and the hire lings of monopoly, whether they be leaders or officeholders; to place to the front men who can be trusted to stand by the cause of the people in the hour ot temptation, ana, invit ing all to st ami upon a platform as hrmid aa the needs of the people, to push forward in a patriotic struggle for the overthrow ot plutocracy, The Dispatch is the servant of no clique or class of men; the organ of no party organization, county, state or national; the exponent of no po litical scheme or set of politicians. It holds itself free to criticise or re buke any Democrat from Cleveland down to the most insignificant cen tral committeeman. It is absolutely independent aud it is fearless. It is doing business on its own capital, of wbicn it nas sumcient to penorm what it promises. It owes no alle giance to any man or set of men; to any interest or comoination. it am not apply tor tne consent or any man tor permission to puoiisna WE HOPE FOR PEACE.
