THE VAST ARMY
_ • .. ..
Of England Gathering for the Com

_ .
WITH THE PEOPLE Of TRANSVAAL.
A Larger Army Than That With
Which Wellington Defeated the
First Napoleon.
Lcndtn. By Cable.* —The VBSthcts of
Great Britain’s military preparation,
seemingly out of all proportion to the
work in hand in South Africa, was not
fully realized by the public until th<
war offleie announced that 2a,000 re
serves had already been summoned
to rejoin the colors. Asa matter of
fact General Sir lied vers Buller will
have command of twice aft many Brit
ish soldier* as the Duke cf Wellington,
the cohquerer of the first Napoleon,
saw collected cn ore battlefield. The
reasons back of this lavish display are
probably a fear of a native rising and
possibly a conviction of the advisabil
ity cf -bowing Europe that Great
Britain is prepared to resent any ac
tion resultirg from the prevalent con
tinental ili will. In this connection
the action of the American department
of state, and the friendly statements
of President McKinley and Secretary
Ha.v, published here has been hearti
ly received as a return for Great
Britain’s refusal to sanction continea-
tal intervention in the war between
the United States and Spain. As the
Boers failed to attack Natal when the
Colony was vulnerable, it is beginning
to be felt that they arc pursuing a de
liberate policy cf waiting for the Brit
ish proposals, remaining, in the mean
time, on the defensive, in the hope of
thus winning the sympathies of the
world and, perhaps, the support of
other nations, and leaving to Great
Britain the ignomy of starting hos
tilities.
If they await the advance of General
Sir Red vers Buller, it is conceivable
that peace will not be Woken dnrinf
the present year. Shoßd that prom
the case and should th? alleged waft
age in ih°Boer’s romnandors continue,
the force confronting?? l6 Brit r-h com
manding general w'l be neither as
numerous nor as qi r ' pn t 33 that now
encamped along Natal border.
Events have H :s seemed to shape
themselves to p° ure ample pause for
consideration. *be proposals in the
correspondene between President
Steyr, of th/ oran &e Free State, and
Sir Alfred yl ncr - British high eom
missinner 1 South Africa, show that
the negct* tions ' vcre proceeding up

posal ou,fl be favorably considered
bv ,j, British government. President
g£ er ‘s virtual proposal of a neutral
zon't° ereated pending further at
(rr >ts at conciliation, meets with con
pj,-rable approval.
\ rumor is current that political in
rest in thc situation may shortly in
rease, as it is alleged that the man-
' igement of the Unionist party in Great.
'Britain are strongly urging the gov
ernment to dissolve Parliament after
the necessary credit is voted, and to
go to the electorate in a parliamentary
general election upon the broad issue
of thc government’s policy in South A
frica. The real intentions of the Pre
mier, the Marquis cf Salisbury, may be
expected to develop shortly. As at,
present arranged, the work of the ses
sion, which will begin October 17th,
will consist of the queen's speech,
dealing exclusively with the South Af
rican question, the voting of the credit
and the pa-age cf an appropriation bill.
This will occupy three ■ weeks. Jlie
executive plans cf thc government will
not be deployed until Parliament
meets in February, and no private bills
will be allowed to be introduced. Ow
ing to the drain cn the military re
sources. all colonial reliefs nave been
stopped for a year.
According to the latest advices from

of an organization of corps oL volun

Washington, D. C.. Special—No
further attempts to secure the recog
nition of a ’ diplomatic representative
has been made by the government of
the Transvaal republic since Colonel
O'Be.rne’s rejection. It is very doubt
ful whether one would be received by
our government, even were he free
from the objection of being an Ameri

by accepting a diplomatic ’•epresenta

THE PANIC OF 1893,
HOW THE PEOPLE WERE MADE
TO SUFFER FOR BANKS.
The Sherman Law Mart Raised the Price
of Wheat and This Vexed Enfflrtnd
Into a l J lan to Secure Its Immediate
Kepeat—History of a Crime,
The distraught leaders and aspirants
ih both the great political parties of
the Country begin to feci the working
of the yeast of knowledge on one Sitb
jeet above all others, for the ' plain
reason that it is beginning to be under
stood at last that the monetary panic
and consequent dentOtaßsation of all
business industries was due to and fitted
purpose rather than to any chance
combination or mesalliance of events
and circumstances, and that the plan
was as ihuoll st deliberate conception,
undertaken with cold chleilifitlofl, as
any scheme of a band of wreckers to
get possession of a treasure ship in
the offing of a reef-fringed ocean
island, The order issued to the 3,700
national bahks by th management of
the associated system on the 12th of
March, 1893, for the purpose of secur
ing concerted action for the objects in
dicated in the circular, was the signal
gun of this flefarious war. It recited
that “the interests of national banks
require immediate financial legislation
by congress." It declared that '‘silver,
silver certificates, and treasury notes
must be retired, and national bank
notes upon a gold basis tnfide the only
money.” This, R further stated, Would
require the authorization of "from
$400,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 of new
bonds ns p basis of circulation.” The
banks were therefore ordered to retire
iheir loans. Then this cold blooded
and piratical order said: "Be careful
to make a money stringency felt
among your patrons, especially among
influential business men.” Aud it di
rected them to advocate ah extra ses
sion of congress for the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman law,
and to act with other banks in getting
up a large petition to congress for its
unconditional repeal, according to a
form accompanying the circular. And
it affirmed in conclusion that “the
future life of national banks as fixed
and safe investments” depended upon
immediate action, “as there is an in
creasing sentiment in favor of govern
ment legal tender notea and silver
coinage.” Here stands the plot re
vealed. After such a showing, It
looked well to see the Eckelses and
Hamlins of the treasury department
sounding their alarm gong that free
coinage :nen were guilty of disturbing
business prosperity by destroying pub
lic confidence. First, they overturn
and undermine all the normal condi
tions of the country's finances them
selves, and then they turn and de
nounce those who seek only the res
toration of what maintained the coun
try in its course of prosperity. And
these are the men who assume to guard
our finances and govern our policy.
The distinctly declared purpose was to
create a monetary panic, or at least “a
money stringency,” which was to be
charged to the exportation of gold in
amount sufficient to determine the
necessity of an extra session of con
gress. The object of an extra session
was tq establish an exclusive gold basis
for our currency. Then, to procure
such legislation as would retire all ex
isting forms of paper money, and give
to the banks power to issue the only
money outside the metallic limit. Fin
ally, to load the people with a heavy
debt, payable principal and interest in
gold, which debt was to be the special
interest of the banks themselves, by
furnishing them with a bond basis for
:his paper currency. And all obviously
to gratify the greed of foreign money
lenders hungering for another thou
sand million United States bonds, re
deemable only in gold, which these
same foreign money lenders had per
suaded us to accept, discarding consti
tutional silver, as the exclusive money
of this country. The work was done
according to the design. All the na
tional hanks of the country proceeded
to withdraw a third of their circula
tipn from business use, solely in obedi
ence to the order from the money cen
ter. Then they called in one-half of
their loans, which at the time aggre
gated not less than $1,000,000,000. Si
multaneously they served notice
on their customers that fur
ther loans and discounts would
cease, and that all obligations
then outstanding must be met a3
they came due without further ex
tension. The result was exactly what
the conspiring money power had cal
culated. The money market became
stringent instantaneously, no one
could tell how or v hy. Failures were
precipitated right and left. The banks
themselves went down by the whole
sale, the explanation adroitly given for
so unprecedented an occurrence being
that the falling banks had been doing
business on unsound principles. In or
der to more fully understand the
method, purpose and spirit of this
purely predatory conspiracy, having its
long tap root in England, in Lombard
street, in a mere handful of powerful
banking houses iu London and on the
continent, we must next proceed to
observe the effect of this bank order in
the wav of contraction, since strin
gency was the thing aimed at in order
i £ call of congress and compel
us raven-able legislation. First fol
jji stated, the abrupt retirement
of one thiid of the Mfljt rirculation.
Then, upon the repeal of thd SShtffman
iatf, th* monthly ptnpbase of about
$3,500,000 o t idlv*r ceased. Next fol
lowed an additional fofftraetlon of
- from tho purchase 0( oijd3
issued to hold up gold resumf)fitW£.
Aiid In cap aud crown the whole, thd
hanks began to hoard gold for the pur
chase ot bonds as their diminishing re
serves might require under the law.
The -gold received by them in daily
balefire goes into New York safe de
posit vaults. Agfiiftst these deposits
clearinghouse certificates are issued, tc
be circulated among the bafffcs ot.iy,
find to be counted as part of the Week
ly baiik fpserves. Ever since the re*
peal of the Streririflh law this hoardin''
of gold and iss re of cldilf'Pghouse cer
tificates has steadily gene on, atitl only
banks themselves know the amount
of gcild that has been hoarded and
taken out of circulation. Aud the
rigidly righteous coiiipD'dJDr of the
currency winked at this wholly Illegal
bractice, while he notorious?.?
Wotild make precipitate haste to pre
vent the people, Instead of the banks,
from employing rirollar currency to
ward off their ruin. The subterfuges,
misrepresentations, misleading state
ments, and actual falsehoods invented
hfid Uttered by the associated money
power and Its obedient and subsidized
press to make the public believe the
situation was due to natural rather
than to wholly unnatural and Ifide
/eftsibl* causes, form a very substan
tial part cf the history of this ill
starred financial panic, confessedly
more purely unnecessary aind iniqui
tous than all similar distressful event*
Since the country had n national be
ginning. The banks turned'and braz
enly accused the people of lie: rding the
money and thus making if scarce.
Then they charged that the country
banks kept it back, and refused in the
timidity of ignorance to let it out into
the customary channels of circulation
and use. It is a weil-authenticated
statement that when toe panic bad
reached its zenith there w\as $35,000,-
COO more money in New York banks
than fit the corresponding period of the
year previous! The bank reserves
steadily increased beyofld nil previous
record. Well may it be asked, if
money is something for facilitating the
business of the great body of people,
or if it i3 merely an instrument of
oppression and distress, to be put into
the hands of a favored power for Its
enrichment and enlargement at tha
cost of the helpless sufferers. Hereto
fore. when the money market became
severely stringent, both the banks and
the government came to its speedy re
lief: In the present instance alone has
that relief, never so urgently demanded
as now*, been coldly refused, while the
people themselves are charged with
being the author of their own calami
ties by their Ignorantly willful hoard
ing of money! It is nowise difficult to
understand where the present financial
troubles originated, the motive that in
spired them, and the fatuity of expect
ing any real release from them until
the conditions which made them possi
ble ore wholly and thoroughly re
moved. One thing is rendered prac
tically certain by the direful experi
ence the people are needlessly passing
through: That a diminishing money
volume cannot be made to answer the
increasing needs of our modern Indus
trial and business life, and that our
growing civilization demands a medium
of exchange adequate to the required
stimulation of the universal productive
power, rather than that of the wealth
absorbing power of a limited class
whose interests renter almost entirely
in themselves. When, as the national
census tells us, 31.000 individuals own
one-half cf the country's wealth, it is
time to turn the subject over and con
sider it from its other side. And that
is just what the people are seriously
engaged in doing now, for which they
are derided and denounced by a
suborned and servile press, with hin
dering the general prosperity.

The Ex-Consul Returns From the
East.
HE PRONOUNCES OTIS A FAILURE,
Denies that Aguinaido Was Promised
Independence His OpinitTO of the
Philippines.
New York, Special.—Edwin Wild
man. ex-vico consul of the United
States at Hong Kong who was station
ed there when the war in the Philip
pines wa* begun, was a passenger on
the American line steamship St. Louis
which reached her dock from South
ampton and Cherbourg Saturday.
Mr. WUdman spoke on conditions
in the Philippines and Ad
miral Dewey. "The Philippines,” he
said, "are we’i worth the struggle.
The country out there Is magnificent
and the climate is good. There are
seven months of good weather and
then comes the rainy season when one
can do nothing. But. then in every
country there is the bad time of the
year, The sooner we get down to
governing the islands the better. They
are worth much from a commercial
standpoint. The whole country is
rich and. productive. Gen. Otis is too
old and not aggressive enough.
"He tries to do the whole thing out
there and like every other man who
tries to do all he does nothing success
fully. The great, need out in the is
lands i a young and aggressive man,
“As to the question of self govern
ment I am led to believe that none of
the native people are capable of that
fn the highest sense of the word. The
only way that the natives eculd gov
ern is under American supervision.
“I believe that the flag in the Phil
ippnes should never be lowered. We
have got to conquer or annihilate
them. The question is which will our
war do.
“I want to say now at. no time was
Aguinaido or any of the Filipinos
promised independence. Admiral
Dewey made them no promises. We
brought Aguinaido to Manila the
same as any other man was brought
over there to help. At no time was
anything said about giving them their
independence. You will notice that ins
his manifestos Aguinaido is careful
not to say directly that, there were
promises made. That talk always
comes from some of his followers who
have something to gain by his suc
cess.”
