The Gold Basis Rapidly Disappearing Silver Monopoliz:s the Surplas in the Treasury, GOLD AND BILVER, THR CARTWHEEL DOLLAR CROWDS THR RAGLE TO THE WALL. Special Telogram to The Bek, New Yor, July 14.—The Times says: Conrad N, Jordan, treasurer of the United States, informed the New York Clearing House association yesterday that uader the present condition of affaira the country was steadily driftiog toward a silver basis, He intimated, furthermore, that the drifting pro- cess was golng on very rapidly and could only bo checked by a change in the gold policy of the banks, The bankers of this city have been watching with some anxiety the iuflax of silyer Into the government treasury, and the constant reduction of the surplus above the lewal gold reserve, Tney have been auvious to ascertain what policy the new administra- tion intended to pursue, When Treasurer Jordan attended the recont banquet in his honor, at Delmonicys, he was plainly given to understand that the New York bank- ers would be pleased to confer with him. Sub- sequently a more formal invitation was sent to Jordan to meet members of the Clearing House assoclation. That invitation was accepted, and yester- day Treasurer Jordan and Henry W, Oanon, cumptroller of the currency, came to the city and spent two or three hours at the clearing house. A large proportion of the New York were represented at the meeting, at ch J. D, Vermilyea presidcd, Treasurer Jordan desired it to be uaderstoed that hia visit was without official significance, He did not come, he said, to submit any propositions, but etmply to have an informal talk with the bankers of New York on a subject fully as mportant to them as to the government. ~He explained that the gold surplus in the United States tronsury was getting lower and lower, and unless the receipts of gold were increase the surplus wonld soon be wipad out alto- gether, That would necessitate the use of silver in placing government obligatione, and such necessity would lead to the practical establishment of a eilver basisa, The ques- tions to be considered were, whether the New York banke. represonting a large part of the capital of the country, desired such a change, and if not, whether they were able and wil- ling to adopt measures to provent it. Some of the members of the clearing house sug- gosted that should the government run short of gold the banks hero would undoubtedly bo willing to advance whatever amount was required. It was ad- ‘mitted by the bankera that 1t would not be to the advantage of tho banks to have the gov- ernmont recedo from a gold to @ silver basis, Tho sentiment of the meeting appeared to bo in favor of making advances of gold to the government in such sums and upon such terms ‘a8 might be mutually agreed upon by Treasurer Jordan and the clearing house association Jordan was given to understand that the gov- ernment might have ten or even thirty mil lions in gold if it desired, Treasarer Jordan assured the members of the association that the government did not ask for any loans from bankers, The government would not accept any such loans. There was plenty of money in the United States treasury to pay all of the governments obligations, and the only point to bo determined was whether or not some of those obligations should not be paid in silver. Jordan said he had no sug- estions to offer. He hoped that New York §nkeru would study the figures, discusa the situation among themselves, and make uj their minds what was best for them to do, 1f the bankers should adopt the policy which re- quired co-operation on the part of the treas- ury department, Jordan had no doubt that the present administration would be found willing to do anything that was lawful and proper to aid in |mphz;i7 the finances of the country on a solid geld basis. The books of the treasury department and the latest published statements show that while the fovurnmunt had been sexadily pndy- ing out gold, its receipts of gold had been di- minishing and its accumulation of silver had been piling higher and higher, Oa July 1 the United States treasury vaults held $12),208,- 000 in gold coln, Of this amount only $20,- 208,000 was in excess of legal reserve for re- demption of legal tender notes, This excess bad already been reduced to $18,007,000, There became due July 1 interest coupons of one per cent bonds amounting to 87,377, which must be paid out of the gold surplus, Throe months hence another quarterly batch of coupons will fall due and they also must be taken care of out of the gold surplus, At the present rato in which gold is being paid into the government troasury 1t is not prob- able that the steady depletion of tho surplus will be materially checked, The government has already issued about $101,000,000 of silver certificates, and its vaults contain $67,921,000 more silver dollars than there are silver certificates outstanding. There was a story in circulation yesterday that Treasurer Jordan had proposed to the bankera to take silver certificates from the government in exchango for gold, the banks to hold the silvor certificates until the govern- ment waa able to take them back, Apparently the only foundation for thisstory wasin Treasurer Jordan's plain statement to the bankers that unless the government received gold it could not continue to pay it out. Should the New York banks employ a por- tion of the gold they have in hand and aid in giving 1t freer circulation they will enable the overnment to remsin upon its gold basis at fent forsome time to come, The conference at the clearing house ter- minated about the middle of the afternoon, ana Treasurer Jordan took the train for Washington, The bank presidents were dls posed to regard the talk between themselvea and Jordan as confidential and they were reticent concerning it, Oneof them, how- ever, who said he could not see how snything was 60 be ganed from secrecy, answered the question, *'What are the bankers going to ¢o,” a8 follows: *“It has been practizally sgreed upon by the members of the cleariug house association that hereafter we shall be more liberal in dis bursiog gold, It will not hurt banks to let out a few millions of gold, and such pulic( may hold the silver question in abeyauce until congress can dispose ofit. We shall endeavor to supply such of cur customers as desire to pay customs duties with gold certificates in stead of silver certificates, OF course, bankers aoderstand that tho goveramont catuot, con tinue to pay out wold if it receives nothing but silver, I do not kmow whether the cleariog house association will take any formal action in the matter. Its members bave s pretty clear und themselves already, C—— Reunion of Old Settlers.

Chandler, ex-secretary of the navy, has written a letter to the Journal in reference to the recent opin- ion of Attorney-General Giarland that Roach’s contract for bullding the diepatch boat Dolphin is vold; that the payments to him are illegal, and may e recovered, and that the Dolphin may be seized as security for repay- ment, The ex-secretary says: ‘‘This may seem to be an extraordinary decision, but it was not difficult to an attorney-general, who, when 8o requested, wiped out an amendment of the United States constitation with the ut most promptness, Lawyers, business men, and fair minded citizens must judge of the soundness of his principles,” Chandler asterts that the plans for the Dolphin engines were designed and _adopted by the navy department and advisary board, and the bidders had_nothing to say about them or to do with them, Ho contends that it ia preposterous to suppose_the department had no right to say to bidders “you sball guaranteo that these engines which we have designed shall produce 2,300 horse-power and shall move a ship fifteen knots in & gale of ivery competent and respomsible ship builder, Chandler says, would reply *“if you wish me to gnarantee the results I must de- sign the ship,” The lettor continues: ‘‘Let it be noted that this wicked aseault upon Roach by two newly fledged cabinet ministers revelliog in mieused power, Is perpetrated eolely for the assumed reason that the Dolphin has not fifteen knots of sea speed, when 1n fact on every one of her ceveral trial trips she has reached fifteen knots, and the last trip was made at sea in pursuance of the order of Mr. Whitney, but Mr, Whitney, enraged at the result, says the sea was not high enough, and that fifteen knots, tea speed, means seventeen and one-half knots when there is not a high sos, and upon this arbitrary mersure the whole fabric of the outrage ~committed by him is built, Even the acked board organized by him (Secretary Whitney) to con- demn the Dolphin, reported that the enginos, boiler and main wachinery appeared to be in accordance with the contract, and the changes made by the advisory boards, ——— Bay Oity Strikers a Point Ahead.
