GOLD MOVEMENTS. in the promotion of American industries. The erratic character of the gold | His predecessor as chairmanof the ways movement for some time past has been a featuro of the financial situation to which little attention has boen given except by those whose operations re- quire dealings in gold, but it is interest- ing as showing that the movements of the yellow metal are not always deter- mined by trade conditions. Asa rule gold is imported or exported in settle- ment of the balance of trade between this country and Buavops, but for several months this rule has not applied. Since the beginning of the current year the ex- portsof gold from the United States have amounted to about $80,000,000. The larger part of this gold did not, as usual, go to England, but went to swell the specie reserves of the contincntal countries, notably Austria, which still needs more gold. to fusure the permanence of a spocio basis. For soma weoks past gold has been returning to the United Statos and we have got back perhaps ono-third of what we had previously exported. This has been done in the face of a rate for sterling exchange that would render the importation of gold im possible ox- copt at u loss, but the banking houses that shipped gold to Buropeand profited by it becuse Buropoan countries were paying a premium for it are bringing it back because, owing to the scaveity of currency here, they can make money by that operation. A considerable part of the gold that has returned has been imported by savings institutions with a view to strengthening themselves. Gold has also been imported by Chicago banks on their own account in order to facilitate the shipments of produce from that port, and it is claimed that the banks of that city now hold more gold than those of New York. In order to check the movement of the yellow metal in this direction the Bank of fngland put a premium on it and raised the rate of discount, which appears to have had the intended effect. It is obvious, therefore, gold movements between try and Europeare not always controlled absolutely by the course of trade, though of course this is genorally and principally the regulating influence. At present the exports of produce from this country exceed in value the imports, and as we are nearing the season when the trade balance should grow rapidly and lacgely in our favor it is reasonably to be oxpected that within the next threc months the inflow of gold will be heavy. This prospect would be entirely reassuring if it were not for the possi- bility of a large amount of American securitics held abroad being re- turned, but this danger, if it can be so regarded, will bo greatly lessened and may be altogether averted if congress discontinues the government purchases of silver. Failure to do this would undoubtedly cause a return to our secu s in such volume that we should not only get no gold from having the balance of trade in our favor, but would lose more of the yellow motal. that the this coun- DANGER OF OVE#CONFIDENCE, Ohio republicans are claiming, it is reported, that they will re-elect Gov- ernor McKinley by a plurality of from 40,000 to 50,000. The campaign in that state has not yet been -formally oponad and it is therefore manifestly too early to form a judgment as to the result to which any value could be given. There is vory strong reason to believe that Mec- Kinley will be re-elected, but it is not at all probable that he will receive any such pluratity as some of his supporters are said to be now claiming. Itis far 100 extravagant. In 1801 McKinley was elected by a’ plurality of a little over 21,000. The conditions favor- ing republican success arc a great deal more favorable this year than they were two years ago, so that it does not seem unreusonable to assume that McKinley will be again chesen governor by an in- creased plurality, say 25,000, or even 30,- 000, but the former would be a much safor figure than the latter. There i no reason to suppose that McKinley has lost in personal popularity, there are no serious defeotions among Ohio repub- licans, and the policy for which the party stands ought to strengthen it under tho prevailing circumstanc As the fight will be made squarely on the taviff, with an avowed enemy of protection, on the ground of its uncon- stitutionality, heading the democratic ticket, it would sevm inevitable that so great a manufacturing state as Ohio is must this year give its vote to the coun- try’s foremost defender of protection. The only apparent danger to this re- sult is in the overconfidence of repub- licans, and it may be observed that this is a fault which is rather peculiar to Ohio republicans and has in the past cost them defeat. They may be certain that the democrats, not- withstandiog the disadvantages that confront them, do not intend to give up the battle until it is lost. They evidently intend to fight hard to the finish, and they will pot be slow to profit by any opportunity their op- ponents offer them. They can by beaten, but it will reguire thorough organization, perfect discipline and a full vote to do so. THE SUUTH'S SHARF, Analysis of the charimanships of the fity-five house commities following facts Chairmansh ferred on southern states, chairman- ships on eastern and middle states, 113 chairmanships on western 12, Thus the fourteen southern states have nine more chairmanships than the other thirty states, and this is pot all, for the most important and influental of these positions aze held by southern men. The committee which is charged with formu- lating & new fiscal policy for the country that will effect every in dustrial interest, has at its head a reprosentative from West Virginia, a state with a population only a little more than half that of the city of Chi- cago and with industrial enterprises whoso value probably does not exceed a hundredth part of the value of that city’s industrial enterprises. Admit that Mr. Wilson, chairman of the ways and means copmittee, is a politician of ability, he has given no evidence of pre- eminent capacity for the highly im- portant duty to which he has been as- signed und he does not come from a constit uency that is greatly concerned and means committes, Mr. Springer, represontod & great manufacturing state. The noxt most important com- mittee of the house, that of appropria- tions, has as its chairman a Texas repre- sentative. It is not doubted that he will be an improvement upon the last chairman, Mr. Holman, and it is said that he will be disposed to be fair to all sections of the country, but itis only reasonable to expect that if the alterna- tive should be presented to him of favor- ing the south at the expense of any other ortion of the country he will be partial to his own seetion. Other important committees, whose chairmen are south- ern men, are those on elections, interstate and foreign commerce, agriculture, foreign affairs, postofces and post roads, public lands, territories, railways and canals, public buildings and grounds, and pensions, The fourtesn southern states which were given thirty-two committee chair- manships have an aggregate population not exceeding one-third of the popula- tion of the country, and the number of voters in those states does not bear so large a proportion to the number of voters in the nation. In wealth and developed resources the disproportion is very much greater. Indeed it is doubtless safe to say that is this respect the fourteen southern states do not equal New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is not surprising to learn that there was protest, particularly from western demo- crats, at tho indecent partiality which Speaker Crisp showed his section in the distribution of committee chairmanships, but the democrats of the north ought not to0 have expected anything better. It is the principle and practice of the south- ern democracy to look to its own inter- ests, and it always has been and always will be the case when the democracy is in control of congress that the southern wing will get the largest share of power. Perhaps it is justly entitled to this con- sideration as the reward of keeping the south solid for democracy, but it would scem that the time must come when northern democrats will resent being always compelled to play second fddle to their southern brethren. THE Q ON UF RECOINAGE. The letter of Secretary Carlisle, which estimates a loss to the government of $112,000,000 in case of a change from the vresent mint ratio of 16 to 1 to that of 20 to 1, and which was heralded in tho dispatches as a complete deathblow to the scneme of free silver coinage at any new mint ratio, has not created in the ranks of the free silver advocates the consternation which its au- thor anticipated. A few = people may have accepted the conclusion intended to be conveyed vhata change of ratio is a practical impossibility, without giving it a s nd thought. But those who tried to find a valid reuson for Mr. Carlisle’s assumption that free coinage would necessitate the recoinage of all our outstanding silver coin have failed entirely to alight upon any con- vincing argument. For example, Record insists that the enor- mous cost of any scheme for a change of ratio puts the whole plan out of the domain of serious dis- cussion, because by establishing a new standard while retaing the old standard congress would itself discredit upward of 400,000,000 silver dollars.” Itsays that this discredited money would be re- turned to the treasury for redemption in gold before any considerable portion of the coinage at the new ratio could bo issued from the mints. All this is pure assumption on the part of the Record. No law authorizes the redemption of silver dollars in gold. The 419,000,000 silver dollars outstanding are full legal tender. They are abso- lutely limited in number. No one can got one except in exchange for a dollar's worth of commodities, nor will he part with one except for a like consideration. How then will they get into the treasury? Whorein will they ba discredited o long as they circu- late now as legal tender why should people refuse them hereaiter? Iu taking a similar position the New York Kvening Post declares that ‘““with- out recoins a change of ratio could not be carried into effect. We could not have two silver dollars of different weights under the principles of fres coinage. We might have any number of such under the present system of limited coinage and gold redemption of silver. The metal in the present silver dollar is worth only 56 or 57 cents. That of the Vest dollar would be worth 72 or 73 cents, We might have as many vari- oties as there are senators as long as the coinage is only on government account. But if the mints be opened to unlimited coinage for private individuals all silver dollars must be alike." In this, however, there is a logical fallacy which invalidates the whole rea- soning. No one proposes to have cwo silver dollars of different weights under the principle of free coinage. Only one of the dollars is to bo subject to fros coinage, while the 412-grain dollar is to remain under the present system of lim- ited coinage on the government aceount only. Confessedly then, the two silyer dollars will have no difficulty in civoulating side by side on a par. There is no danger of the old silver dollar driving out the new silver doilar because the principle of Gresham'’s law operates only when the inferior money 18 obtainable in increasing quan- tities, As between these two silver dollars it would be the 464-grain dollar which would be increasing in quantity and it could not therefore drive out the psent silver dollar. The danger of e coinage at 20 to 1 is not to be appre- hended from the present silver.dollar; it is to be looked for in the inevitable of the new dollar to drive out the undervalued gold. So long as the gold is undervalued at the ratio of 20 to 1 it will continue to leave us. The only hope of bimetaliism under & regime of free coinage lies in the adoption of & mint ratio that will bring the market ratio to coincide with it. the Philadelphia IN REFERRING to Secretary Carlisle's caleulation that the recoinage of our out- standing silver mouey at a new ratio of 20 to 1 would involve aloss to the govern- law vigorously enforced. ment of over $112,000,000, the New York Sun suggests ‘ihat that loss may be transformed tomsprofis by sealing down the gold coin mm.d of increasing the weight of the pragent silver dollar. The Sun obviously —4mils to see that such action would tioally change our standard of vali%and would defeat its own purpose —of bringing pecuniary gains to the trégéary, 1t would practi- cally change oit, standard of value, be- cause our mopetary unit would then be a dollar of ;some 60 or 70 cents, instead of a' dollar of 100 cents, as at present. s People owing debts would gain by paying them in the de- based currency. Again the government would fail to profit by 1t, because hav- ing free coinage of gold at the new ratio, those who now hold our gold coins could melt them down, take them to the mint for coinage into dollars at the now ratioand gain the difference. “Clipping the gold coin,” as the Sun puts it, is in reality a debasement of the cur- rency, not an_innocent chunge of ratio. IT 18 time that the federal authorities took some steps for the better regula- tion of the immigration into this coun- try, and the announcement will be gen- erally welcomed that the superintendent of immigration is soon to go to Canada with a view to making an arrangement with the Dominion authorities under which it will not be so easy as at present for persons to come into the United States through Canada. Owing to the loose system of inspection at ports on our northern border it has been a com- paratively easy matter for persons to enter the United States, and it is not to be doubted that many of the classes inhibited by our immigra- tion laws have found their way into the country through thig channel. The laws of Canada relating to immigration are sufficiently stringent, but it is notorioys that they are not enforced. There is perhaps no branch of the public service of the Dominion in which there is less efficiency than in that having charge of immigration. The officials are notori- ously careless and indifferent. Such being the case, there is greater necessity for a thorough inspection at our ports. The facilities for immigration on both our northern and southern frontiers ought to be very greatly reduced.

They had predicted the downfall of the republic 50 often and 8o long that they wero incapa- ble of discerning the signs of the times, But whilo they were prophesying and hop- ing for the advent of a dictator of the typo of Louts Napoleon or Boulanger, the French people were turning their backs upon per- sonal government, With the almost com- vlete effacement of the monarchical parties, the comservative republic will be able to reckon all the more oasily with its enemies of socialism and anarchy. Although the recon- ciliation of the monarchists with the exist- ing political order has been in progress for » number of years, there is ample evidonce in the result of the elections that the sage councils of Pope Leo have much accolerated the movement. A great stride has been made since Gambetta's famous exclama- tion: ‘‘Clericalism, that is the enemy of the republic!” When church and state shall have become completely divorced the clergy will have no cause of war against tho gov- eroment. With all the elements of social order grouped around the republic, its pres- ervation has bacome recognizod at last as a necessity by the great body of the French poople. . The combination of fick and adroitness by which the hopes of President Carnot's rivals and enemies wero dashod, continued opera- tive up to the very ove of tho election. Had the massacre of upwards of 100 Italian work- ingmen, which occurrod at Aigues-Mortes on Thursday, taken placo buta week earlier, the reprisals against Frenchmen in Ttal and the resultant diplomatic recriminations would have placed the Dupuy ministry in a predicament which could hardly have failod to injurc the prospests of their party friends at the ballot box. Had they promptly signi- fled a willingness to otter apologies and an indomnity for the wrong done to natives of Ttaly, they would have been accused of pusillanimicys while, had they refused rep- aration, they would have been charged with exposing for selfish ends their country t0 tho risk of war with the Triple Alliance. As it was, only two days intervened between the massacre at Aiguos-Mortes and the eloc- tion, and the government took caro to defer the revelation of the facts by circulating re- vorts which misstated the cause of the riot and minimized the number of the murders. Now that President Carnot and his ad- visers are certain of commanding o majority inthe new Chamber, they will doubtless denl with this unfortunate affair in the proper spirit, and make adequate amends to Ttaly for the wholesale slaughterof her citizens. e Very insidious and shrewd is the attempt now being made by Russia to weaken and oven destroy tho alliance between Vienua and Berlin. In the tariff war that the czar has been waging against Germany sioce the 1st of the month, ho has been careful to oxcept Austrian produce and manufictures from the prohibitive dutics—the Increase amountig to as much as 50 per cent above the maximum tarif—to which German im- ports in Russia are now subjected. This, of course, is having the'effect of diverting the profitable Russian trade from Germany to Austria, much to the disgust of Germany. The czar, moreover, is endeavoring still further to augment the jealousy that has already arisen betweon tho two allies about the matter by entering into negotia- tions with the Austrian government with a view to a commercial treaty—this. too, at the very moment when negotiations of a similar character between St Petersbury and Berlin have boen broken off in the most unexpected and aggressive fashion by direct orders from tho czar. Should the treaty be- tween Russia and Austria be concluded, one member of the Triple Alliance would be commercially at war, and the other commer- cially not merely at peace but even in alli- ance with Russia and enjoying the same commereial and, in due consequence, politi- cal advantages that France enjoys by virtue of the Franco-Russian treaty of commerce concluded on the very same day upon which the czar began his tarifl war on Germany. ot The conciliatory disposition manifested on both sides makes it likely thattho “in- cident” of Aigues-Mortes will soon bo closed. The Ttalian case was more or less weakened by the fact that the mobs of several.Indian cities took their redress into thoir own hands and proceeded to commit upon French residents the very outrages of which they had to complain when committed by French- men upon Italians resident in France. It seems oda that the first apology should have come from Italy when the first offense came from France. But the promptness of Italy in makiug an apology for the misconauct of the Roman mob, and in removing Roman oMicials, makes the Italian demand for reparation for tho original offense all the stronger. The French government has al- ready promised the removalof the indis- ot mayor of Algues-Mortes, and it will doubtless consent to pay an indemnity for the massacred Italians, cspecially since Italy has already offercd reparation for tho destruction done to French property in Ttaly, though this did not include any loss of life. It1s noteworthy that the excitement secms to have been much greater in Italy than in France, a fact probably due to tho existence in France of auother form of ex- oltement in the shape of the elections, ' It seems probable that there will be re- newed trouble in the Pamirs at no distant day.
