NO TRICKERY IN IT. Tho Outllow of Gold i:plnluvd by a Treasury Olllclal. Assistant Secretary William E. Cur tis, of'the treasury department, has written a letter under date of October 15, to Assistant Secretary Dnbney, of the department of agriculture, in which he defends the New York bank ers from the allegations often made that they nro Interested in tho with drawal of gold from the treasury. Pol lowing Is the letter: "Hon. Charles W. Dnbney, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Agriculture My Dear Sir: Itoferrlng to your letter nnd our conversa tion of tho other day, concerning tho cam pulgu attacks upon tho bankers of Now York In their relations with tho gold re serve, I deslro to submit the following con siderations. Tho term 'rnlds' by bankers nt New York upon tho treasury Is ono fre quently used by writers nnd speakers who havo no necurnto knowledge of tho method by which notes nro presented for redemp tion nt tho BUbtrcnsury In New York, or tho chnractcr or number of persona making nuch presontntlons. "Tho term banker pcoms to bo nsaumed In most enses to covor a clnBS of men who arc uppnrontly engaged In withdrawing gold from tho government's reserve nnd putting It away In their private vnults for their own selfish purposes, and to ac complish certain nllegcd lnproper objocts. Tho fncts In tho coho nro so different from those fanciful statements, thnt it aeetud worth whllo to cnll attention to thorn. "IJy operation, of certain natural com mercial laws, without tho Interference of legislation, New York bus como to bo tho settling place of almost nil contracts for the salo of our products abroad, and In that market tho bills of oxchuugo which repre sent products exported aro offered for sale. At tho samo tlmo, people desiring to remit money abroad to pay obligations or to buy merchandise, nro In the Hnjno market, nnd In order to pay tholr obligations purchasa theso bills of exchango to remit to their creditors abroad. When Prlco r r.xchiingo ltlses. "Largo amounts of coffee, silk, rice, ten, sugar nnd other forolgn products con; sunied hero havo to bu purchased with forolgn credits and paid for In Now York with forolgn exchango. Tho natural result Is, that, when wo are polling moro goods nbroad thoro nro moro bills of exchnngo In tho market than thoro Is demand for, which Is tho enso at present, tho prlco of exchango falls. On tho other hand, when we aro not soiling as much abroad, and nro buying moro or aro paying our debts to a greater extent nbroad, tho prlco of ex chango rises. "Tho peoplo engaged In tho banking busi ness In New York may bo divided Into three classes: Klrst, tho officers of tho regular hanks of deposit or Issue, Including tho na tional banks; second, tho dealers In securi ties, some of whom have forolgn connec tions through whom thoy mnrket a largo amount of securities nnd upon whom they draw a corresponding amount of oxchnngo in payment for securltlos sold abroad, and to whom they rornlt oxchnngo or gold In payment for securities sold hero; third, agencies, or branches of foreign houses, who nro perhaps al&o dealers In securities; but whoso main business !a buying nnd selling exchange on Ktiropo, for tho profit which enn bo made In tho operation Itself. Tho first class aro especially Interested In tho general prosperity of tho country nnd in keeping up tho value of securities, be cause If thoro Is n fall In securities hold by them as collateral thoy aro compelled to call In tholr outstanding loans, which reduces their lines of credit, diminishes their profits, restricts mercantile nnd ln dustrlul enterprises, and In tho end creates failures In business and general financial and commercial distress. "Tho second class arc directly Inter ested In keeping up tho value of uccurltcs In this country which they havo largely sold abroad, and tholr Interests nro to avoid gold exports and tho public apprchon slon nrlslng from a reduction of tho gold reserve. Tho third class buy or sell ex chango whenever an opportunity for profit offers. Cold Kxportors Fow In Number. "If thoro nro fow commercial bills to bo had In tho market and tho demand by re mitters Is great, exchnngo rates rise, nnd if dealers having credit abroad find that they can soil their bills at a higher prlco than tho probablo coat to thorn of with drawing gold from tho treasury and ship ping It abroad to meet their bills at ma turity they do so, thus making a profit on tho trnnsncllon. Tho leading members of the third clnss In New York can bo num bered on tho fingers of both hands, and, In fact, three or four do almost all of tho withdrawing of gold for export purposes, ns will bo seen by an examination of tho list of parties exporting gold to Europe, published In tho dully press during Its con tinuance. "Knch shipment made usually represents In tho nggregato a lnrgo number of single transactions. Ono concern muy sell a mil lion dollnrs of exchango In ono day, hut It may bo represented by 150 to 2M differ ent bills, running from 100 upwnrd, nnd they pay these bills abroad by shipping gold for that purpose, which they draw out of tho treasury In ono sum and send in ono shipment. "It will thus bo Boon that a great ma jority of bankers aro pecuniarily Interest ed In keeping tho reserve up to Its full nmount, nnd for this renson thoy havo been willing In tho past nnd nro still willing to mako conslderablo sacrifices, and In order to prevent shipments of gold havo contributed largo amounts of money to pay tho dealers In foreign exchango tho profit they would havo mado by such shipments. This was notably tho case In tho operations of tho so-called syndicate which bought tho bonds of the govern ment under tho contract of February S, 1X05, and ugaln In tho early part of this summer. "Although withdrawals for export havo been going on for several years, It Is only within two years that an apprehension that tho government might bo unable to re deem its obligations In gold has caused withdrawals for any other purpose, and at no time has thero been nny evidence that withdrawals of gold from tho treas ury wero mndo for tho purposo of affecting tho markets. Why Cold Does Not Circulate. "Tho fact that tho banks wero ablo to furnish all tho gold required for export up to tho mlddlo of tho summer of 1S&2, and did so, wns because largo amounts of gold wero being paid to them and by thorn Into tho treasury and paid out ngaln In tho courso of business, and It hnd not bo gun to bo displaced by tho silver Issues, tho nmount of which hnd not up to that time reached mich a volumo as to form an Important portion of tho ordinary tran cactlons In tho Now York market. "During the past few weeks and at pres ent, and for tho first tlmo In this adminis tration, various factors nro In combination which havo produced low rates of foreign exchango and consequent Importations of gold. Tho principal ones aro tho favor Able trade balance, tho reduction in tho volumo of currency outstanding ami In active circulation, nnd tho continued hlah rate of Interest for cnll loans at New York, this latter oondltlon being partly a result of tho preceding situation. "The low rates for foreign exchango cause Importations of gold from London and other foreign cities, becaunn ut theso points exchango on New York Is scanty and rules at very high rate-?, and tho dealers and drawers hero and their as sociates across tho ocean find a proMt In tho dlffcrcnco of prlco at which gold can bo obtained abroad and at which It enn bo used hero. In other words, those foreign markets aro In tho samo condition thnt tho United States has been In at vari ous times during the last live years. "It is true that gold has been imported upon ono or two occasions lately when purchases of government bonds woro be ing made, but for this a premium was paid nnd It woa purchased and shipped llko cotton or whent without regard to the rates of exchango ruling here, and was an abnormnl proceeding. Iluhtuco of Trade Favorable, "During tho years succeeding tho re sumption of spcclo payments and until tho currency question disturbed our monetary relations thero was u regular movement of gold to this country In tho Into sum mer and autumn, whllo wo woro marketing our agricultural products abroad. A re turn flow from this country abroad began In tho spring and continued through the early summer to pay our debts for Imports and for other purposes. Low oxchangi rates In tho former and high rates In the latter periods caused theso movements, nnd the balance of trndo was usually In our favor, as It Is at present. "Tho vxccbs 6f merchandise oxportn ovet Imports for eight months up to tho first day of September of this year amounted to $!)D,!)97,IM5, whllo for tho corresponding tlmo last year tho excess of mcrchandlHd Imports over exports was $1C,3C7,2GS. In other words, Instead of disbursing this lat ter nmount in foreign markets, wo thli year aro receiving from thorn $'jr 007,!MG, n balance In our favor of $142,375,213. More over, tho tldo of Bocurltlea flowing back te America from foreign holders since 1MX has largely subsided, at least for tho time being, and thoro Is not as much of a drals from hero on that account. "Tho high rate of Interest paid In the New York market for call loans during the last few weeks has nttractod forolgn cap ital from centers whoro tho interest rnton have been much lower. Thin peculiarity was also vory marked during August ol lS'.i.'l, at tho height of tho currency panic, when tho ruling rates of Interest wore abnormally high and largo amounts ol money weio loaned from abroad and the gold coin sent to this country. "Tho contraction In tho actlvo currency Is caused by thu largo lncronso In tho bal ance of tho United States treasury arising from tho bond Issues and from tho hoard ing of gold and of notes rcdaomablo in gold, which has boon going on among the peoplo for ooino tlmo, In vlow of a possible failure of tho United States to continue their redemption In gold. IMooiiu)iit of Cold Conuluo. "Tho critics who talk so freely ubout Im porting ?5O,OOO,O0O of gold for effect from tho other side of tho ocean do not seem to realize tho Importance of such a transac tion and that thoro must bo value ex changed for It, cither in tho uhapo of ex ports or securities, or In Homo other wuy. It will bo soon from tho published namca of tho parties who rocolvo tho gold Im ported that thoy aro mainly tho dealers in exchange, or Iioubcb or Institutions having forolgn connections, and ihat tho national banks, excopt us Institutions to rocolvo tho deposltu of their customers, uro not ut ull interested, except In tho case of ono or two of tho larger, who havo regular London correspondents with whom thoy do un ex chango business. "It must not bo forgotten that tho confl. denco In tho situation which has placed tho country In lta present satisfactory condi tion regarding Its gold reserve was large ly duo to tho efforts of tho bunkers of Now York In tho early summer. Tho fact of tholr agreeing to furnish bills of oxchuugo at rates under tho gold-shipping point und endeavoring to bring ubout urtlllclully that which wo now know Is a logical re sult from natural causea Inspired so much confidence that normal conditions pre vailed and tho situation cured itself. "According to the published reports dur ing April, May, Juno, July and tho first week In August, whllo gold was bolng ex ported tho rutes of storllng sight exchange at Now York havo ruled from 4S&H: to 4904, aim during tno last or August una up to thu present tlmo whllo Imports of gold wore being tnado they havo ranged from 4B3 to "If tho parties attacking theso transac tions would exnmlno tho dally reports und boo who withdrew or Imported the gold und what tho exchango market was and why tho exchango rates wero high or low, much misapprehension on theso subjects would bo avoided. Yours very truly, "W. 13. CUItTIS." Labor In Deserting Itryau. The truth is, the loss of labor votes to tho democrats by their surrender to the populists is fully as marked and sig nificant as thu defection of the rich men who have formerly supported thu party. All tho wild talks about em ployers intimidating their men is only another way of confessing thatthemen are breaking away from their old purty alllliations. This is the striking thing to make note of in all the canvasses of factory aud mill and mine that arc re ported. The great majority of thu voters employed in these establish ments have been democrats. It has been the glories of the democratic party that it has, by its principles of equality of right and privilege and opportunity, appealed to and held the worklngmen of the country as the republican party has not been nblu to do since the war. Hut the Chicago platform has sheared it oil in groat masses. N. Y. Post. try'Coln" Harvey in his Deu Moiuea speech made great pretense of fairness and entleness. Ho seems to have learned to let abuse alone In his Clinton experience, where ho called the generals of the late war, "wrecks of the past" aud "traitors to humanity" now. Ho will havo to do a great deal of purring to overcome that Insult to patriotic men. Iowa State Register.
