If
k
foo Quick Return to Prosperity Re-
fjarded as Adverse Factor to
Financiers Over $80,000,000
Gold Exported Since Jan. 1.
WnshltiRton. In analyzing, tho fitinn
clnl situation of iho jiovornnipnt,
which involves the question of
whether or not un Issue of three per
cent, one-year cortlllcntoa shall ho
used to replenish the working bal
nnce In the treasury, students of
finance In Washington regard a too
quick return of prosperity as an nU
verso fartor. The export of gold,
which shows no sign of diminution nt
the present time. Ih also being care
fully wntched with a view to ascertain
ing Its real meaning and probable of
fact on busluesB later.
Generally speaking, anything which
will servo to reduce greatly the work
Ing balance In the treasury from $.17.
000.000, Its present stage, would bc
viewed with conrcrn. It Is now un
derstood that the treasury department
Jinn high hopes that the increase In
custoniB duties, supplemented by a
demnnd among tho small merchants
for subsidiary silver coin will keep
this balance about where It now Is
during the summer.
Taking the gold reserve as an Indi
cation or tho trend of tlnanrlnl condi
tions, it Is not generally known that
over $SO,000.000 gold has been ex
ported from the United States since
Jnnuary 1 last. This outgo can bo
partially accounted for In that ap
proximately $30,000,000 went to South
America for colTce loans, while, with
in tho last two months, Japan has
bought more than $10,000,000 In gold
at San Francisco Instead of buying In
London, as formerly. Should Japanese
continue these purchases at the same
rate this- act would, of course, have a
slgnlflranqe apart from mero financial
considerations.
The balnnco of tho exports, amount
ing to nearly $100,000,000. remains
unaccounted for and llnanclal students
here bellexe thnt it Indicates a re
dundant currency.
Acting on this belief they havo
reached the conclusion thnt if pros
perity, following the passage of the
tariff law. Rtarts too rapidly It may
be followed by n sharp reactionary
movement in the fall. A tendency to
speculation Is especially feared on the
theory that any undue frenzy of spec
ulation, with paper money so abun
dant, may create a disturbance which
would react on business.

Proposed Disposal of Bird Plumes
Seized by Customs Officials to the
Milliners Resented In Nearly
Every State.
New Yuri:. Shocked by the thought
of Uuole Sam selling the nuptial
plumes of many mother birds, butch
ered in the midst of their young,
which were left to starve, thousands
jf Americana have joined a movement
of protest ngainBt such a disposal of
the egrets sebed by the custom
house in this city, which the govern
ment has just ordered to bo sold hero.
Krom almost every state In tho
union scores of communications have
been received by the National Asso
ciation of Audubon Societies offering
support nnd urging action to prevent
tho nation from engaging In tliis busi
ness which the milliners are insist
ing upon. Dy its lax legislation and
law enforcement ngalnst the bird
butchers tho Empire stato is nlonc re
sponsible In this Instance for thus
making the got eminent tralllc in
these spoils, It is declared.
Whilo these costly heron plumes
are held hero ut the custom house to
be auctioned ofT, hundreds of wives
and mothers In this city and through
out the country are organizing a pro
test. Hacking the Audubon workers
In this movement tho National Ked
eiation of Women's Clubs nlready Is
arrayed, as well as many spoitsmen's
organizations and granges, whose
members want the birds to protect
when a neighbor, who was evidently
envious of the trainer's progress, noti
fied the health offlclalB thnt hogs were
being kept within the city limits, con
trary to law.
Health Officer Virion began an in
estlgntlon, nnd at the meeting of tho
board he made known tho facts. The
board decided that it could not dis
criminate between trained and un
trained porkers, and Issued an order
for Andiews to dispenso with them or
leave the pi utilises.

From several friends nnd apprecln
tors of bird life money has been sent
to bo devoted to lighting tho milliners,
whose commercial backing has en
abled thorn, with n staff of Inwyers, to
urge I'nclo Snm to tralllc in these
scalps of mother birds.
Plans to prevent any further possl
hillty of the government profiting by
tho sale of theso egrets nlrendy are
being made in this city. Stato and
federal olllelals are to be warned of
the urgency or their duty in tills mat
tor, and every effort made by tho peo
ple In states whore laws arc lax on
this point to obtain legislation for
bidding the salo of egrets by govern
ment ofliclals.
In Now York state particularly the
ofliclals whoso attitude waB tho chief
cause given by tho government for re
versing its former decision to destroy
Iho cnutiabaml heron plumes, will bo
urged to take every possible action to
provont a repetition of whut Is called
the "nationnl disgiaco" through tho
Empire state.
"Wo a in In this fight ngalnst bird
butchery to stay," said William
Outchcr, president of the National As
sociation of Audubon Societies. "Al
though tho milliners may appear to
hao won a temporary victory In In
sisting thnt our government tralllc in
thoso trophies of tho whoicsalo butch
ery of mothers leaving their young to
starve, we believe tho country will bo
soon aroused to combat this disgrace
to the whole nation.
"Now that tho peoplo arc waking
up to tho economic importanco of bird
pioloction wo feel Biiro that we Bhall
soon rally to our support every truly
patriotic citizen of America."
