Government's Financial Situation
Interests Washington Experts..
To Quick Return to Prosperity Re
Dsrded as Adverse Factor to
Financiers Over $80,000,000
Gold Exported Since Jan. 1.
Washington. In analyzing the finan
cial situation of tho uovernment.
which Involves the quoatlon of
whether or not nn .Issue of threo nor
cent, one-year certificates shall be
nsed to replonlsh the working bal
anco In the treasury, students of
lluanco In Washington rogard n too
quick return of prosperity as an ad
verse factor. The export of gold,
which shows no sign of diminution at
the prosont time, Is also being care
fully watched with a view to ascertain
ing Its real meaning and probable ef
fect on business later.
Generally speaking, anything which
will servo to reduco greatly the work
ing balance In the treasury from $37,
000,000, Its present stage, would be
viewed with concern. It Is now un
derstood that tho treasury department
has high hopes that the Increase In
customs duties, supplemented by a
demand nmong the small merchants
for subsidiary silver coin will keep
this balanco nbout whore It now Is
during tho summer.
Taking the gold rosorvo as an Indi
cation of the trend of flnnuclal condi
tions, It Is not gonerally known that
over $80,000,000 gold haa been ex
ported from the United Stales slnco
January 1 last. This outgo can bo
partially accounted for In thnt ap
proximately ?30,000,000 went to South
America for coffeo loans, while, with
in tho last two months, Japan has
bought moro than $10,000,000 In gold
at San Francisco Instead of buying In
London, as formerly. Should Japanese
continue these purchases at tho samo
rato this act would, of course, have a
slgnlilcanco apart from mcro financial
considerations.
The balanco of tho exports, amount
ing to nearly ?400,000,000, remains
unaccounted for and iluanclnl students
here believe that it Indicates a re
dundant currency.
Acting on this belief they Iinvo
reached tho conclusion that If pros
perity, following the passage of tho
tariff law, starts too rapidly It may
bo followed by a Bharp reactionary
movement In tho fall. A tendency to
speculation is especially feared on tho
theory that any undue frenzy of spec
ulation, with paper money so abun
dant, may create a disturbance which
would react on business.

PAINT DURABILITY.
Tho first thought In painting should,
of course, bo durability and dura
bility means simply puro paint prop
erly nppllcd. Puro paint Is puro
whlto lead and llnsocd oil (with or
without tinting material).
Sonio yenrs ago tho paint-buyer was
likely to got adulterated or counter
felt whlto lead If ho was not familiar
with brands. Today ho may buy
with porfect safety if ho only makes
suro that tho Dutch Boy Painter
trademark la on tho packages of
whlto load Uiat ho buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
