HOLD
The erratic character of the gold
movement for BO mo time past has been'
a feature of the financial situation to
which llttlo attention has boon given
xcopt by those whoso operations ro-
ulro iloaUiiRS In gold , but It is Intorost-
ntf as showing that the movements of
ho yellow metal nro not always deter
mined by trade conditions. As n rule
gold is imported or exported in sottlo-
nont of the balance of triulo between
his country and Em-opo , but for several
months this rule has not applied , Since
ho beginning of the current year the ox-
portsof gold from the United States have
mounted to about $80,000,000. Tlio larger
tart of this gold did not , as usual , go to
Sngland , but jvont to Hwoll the spooio
eservos of the continental countries ,
notably Austria , which still needs more
gold , to insure the permanence of a
ipocio basis. For some weokn past gold
as boon returning to the United States
and wo havo'got back perhaps ono-thlrd
of what wo had previously exported.
? hia has boon done In the fauo of a rate
or sterling exchange that would render
ho importation of gold im possible ex
cept at a loss , but the banking houses
hat shipped gold to Europe and profited
> y it bccituso European countries were
mying a premium for it are bringing
t back because , owing to the scarcity
of currency hero , they can make money
by that operation. A considerable part
of the gold that has returned has been
mportod by savings institutions with a
vlow to'strongthonlng themselves. Gold
las also boon imported by Chicago
mnk.s on tholr own account iu order to
'acllitato ' the shipments of produce from
.hat port , and it is claimed that the
mnks of that city now hold more gold
, han these of Now York. In order to
check the movement of the yellow
notal in this direction the Bank of
England put a premium on it and raised
iho rate of discount , which appears to
Imve had the intended effect.
It is obvious , therefore , that the
? old movements between this coun-
Iryand Europoare.not always controlled
absolutely by the course of trade ,
though of course this is generally and
principally the regulating influence. At
present , the exports of produce" from this
country exceed in value the Imports ,
and as wo are Hearing the season when
the trade balance should grow rapidly
and largely in our favor it is reasonably
to bo expected that within the next
thrco months the inflow of gold will bo
lieavy. This prospect would bo entirely
reassuring if it were not for the possi
bility of a largo amount of American
securities hold abroad being re
turned , but this danger , if it can
bo bo regarded , will bo greatly
lessoned and may bo altogether averted
if congress discontinues the government
purchases of silver. Failure to do this
would undoubtedly cause a return to our
securities in such volume that wo should
not only got no gold from having the
balance of trade in our favor , but would
lose more of the yellow metal.
UAKOEll OF
Ohio republicans are claiming , _ it is
reported , that they will ro-olect Gov
ernor MeKinloy by a plurality of- from
40,000 to 50,000. The campaign in that
state lias not yet been -formally , opoits-d
and it is therefore manifestly"too early to
form a judgment as to the result to
which any value could be given. There
is very strong reason to believe that Me
Kinloy will bo re-elected , but it is not at
all probable that he will receive any
such pluratity as some of his supporters
are said to bo now claiming. It is far
too extravagant. In 18)1 ! ) McKinley
was elected by plurality of a
little over 21,000. The conditions favor
ing republican success are a great deal
moro favorable this year than they wore
two years ago , so that it does not sobm
unreasonable to assume that MeKinloy
will bo again chcson governor by an in
creased plurality , say 2.5,000 , or even 30- ,
000 , but the former would bo a much
tafor llguro than the latter. There is
no reason to supposo.that MoKinloy has
lost In personal popularity , there are no
serious defections among Ohio repub
lican's , and the policy for which the
party stands ought to strengthen it
under the prevailing circumstances.
As the fight will bo made squarely
on the tariff , with an avowed enemy of
protection , on the ground of its uncon-
stltutionallty , heading the democratic
ticket , it would souin 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 result -
sult is in the ovorconftdonee of repub
licans , and it may bo observed that this
is a fault which is rather peculiar
to Ohio republicans and has in the
past oost thorn defeat. They maybe
bo certain that the democrats , not
withstanding the disadvantages that
confront thorn , do not intend to give up
the battle until it is lost. They
evidently intend to fight hard to the
finish , and they will not bo slow to
profit by any opportunity their op
ponents olTor them , They can ha
beaten , but It will require thorough
organization , perfect discipline and a
full vote to do so.
TI/W.SOU7VC.S HILlltfl.
Analysis of the chiirhuunshlps of the
fifty-five house oamuUUoos uhows the
following facts : CliairmniHhlpa con
ferred on B'Jttthorn states , 32 ; ohalrmun-
ships on uuUorn and inlddlo statoj , 11 ;
chairmanships on western statin , 12.
Thus the fourteen southern stutoa have
nlnomoro chairmanships than the other
thirty nttito > , and this is not all , for the
most important and inlluontal of these
positions are hold by southern men. The
commlttoo which is charged with fonnu
luting a now fiscal policy for tin
country that will olTcct every In
dustrinl imorcHt , has at its heat ]
u representative from West Virginia , 11
state with u population only a little
moro than half that of the city of Chi-
cayo and with industrial enterpriser
whoso vuluo probably does not exceed t
hundredth part of the value of thai
ulty'd Industrial enterprises. Admli
that Mr. Wilson , chairman of the way :
and means committee , Is a politician o
ability , ho has given no evidences of pro
omlnont capacity for the highly im
portunl duty to whiuh ho has boon as
signed and ho does not coma from i
couatit utmoy that is greatly uoucuruoi
In the promotion of American industries.
Ills predecessor ns chairman of the ways
nnd means committee , Mr. Springer ,
represented n great manufacturing
Btnto. The next most Important com
mittee of the house , that of appropria
tions , haa as Its chairman a Texas repre
sentative. It Is not doubted that ho
will bo an improvement upon the last
chairman , Mr. Holman , and It is "said
that ho will bo disposed to bo fair to all
sections of the country , but it is only
reasonable to oxpoot that if the nltorna
tive should bo presented to him of favor
ing the south ntthouxponso.of any other
portion of the country hu will bo partial
to his own section. Other important
committees , whoso chairmen are south
ern men , are these on elections ,
Interstate and foreign commerce ,
agriculture , foreign affairs , postofflcos
and post roads , public lands , territories ,
rail ways and canals , public buildings and
grounds , and pensions.
The fourtoan southern states which
were glvon 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 these states does not bear so
largo a proportion to the number of
voters in the nation. In wealth and
developed resources the disproportion
ia very much greater. Indeed It is
doubtless safe to say that is this respect
the fourteen southern states do not equal
Now York , Pennsylvania and Ohio. It
is not surprising to learn that there was
protest , particularly- western demo
crats , at the indecent partiality which
Speaker Crisp showed his section in the
distribution of committee chairmanships ,
but the democrats of the nor thought not
to 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 boon and always
will bo the case when the democracy is
in control of congress that the southern
wing will got tlio 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
seem that the tlmo must como when
northern democrats will resent being
always compelled to play second fiddle
to their southern brethren.
TllK QUESTION OF KEC01XAOE.
The letter of Secretary Carlisle , which
estimates a loss to the government of
8112,000,000 , in case of a change from the
present mint ratio of 10 to 1 to that of
20 to 1 , and which was heralded in the
dispatches as a complete deathblow to
the scncmo of free silver coinage at nny
now 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 bo convoyed vhat a change
of ratio is a practical impossibility ,
.vithout giving it a second thought. But
these who tried to find a valid reason
for Mr. Carlisle's assumption that free
coinage would necessitate the rccoinago
of all our outstanding silver coin have
failed entirely to alight upon any con
vincing argument.
For example , the Philadelphia
_ 7ecortZ 'insists that the o'nor-
mous cost of any schema for
a change of ratio puts the whole
plan out of the domain of serious dis
cussion , because "by establishing a now
standard while rotuing the old standard
: ongress would itself discredit upward of
400,000,000 , silver dollars. " It says that
this discredited money would bo re
turned to the treasury for redemption in
old before any considerable portion of
the coinage at the now ratio C3itld bo
issued from the mints. All this is pure
assumption on the part of the Ilcconl.
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
ono can got , ono except in exchange
for a dollar's worth of commodities , nor
will ho part with ono except for a like
consideration. How then will they got
into the treasury ? Wherein will they
bo discredited ? So long as they circu
late now as legal tender why should
people refuse thorn hereafter ?
In taking a similar position the Now
York Evening Post declares that "with
out rocoinugo a change of ratio could
not bo carried into oiTcct. Wo could
not have two silver dollars of different
weights under the principles of free
coinage. Wo 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 50 or 57 cents. That
of the Vest dollar would bo worth 72 or
73 cants. Wo might have as many vari
eties as there are senators as long as the
coinage is only on government account.
But if the mints bo opened to unlimited
coinage- for private individuals all silver
dollars must bo alike. " , . , ' ,
In this , however , there is a logical
fallacy which Invalidates the whole rea
soning. No ono proposes to have cwo
silver dollars of different weights under
the principle of froo" coinage. Only ono
of the dollars Is to bo subject to free
coinage , while the 412-graln dollar Is ta
remain under the present system of lim
ited coinage on the government , account
only. Confessedly then , the two silyor
dollars will have no difficulty in
circulating sldn by sldo on a par.
There is no danger of the old
silver dollar driving out the now * silvut
dollar because the principle of GroHhamV
law operates only when the inferior
money is obtainable in Increasing quan
tities. As between those two sllvoi
dollars it would bo the 401-graln dollat
whiuh would bo increasing in quantity
and it could not therefore drive out the
present silver dollar. The danger ol
free coinage at 20 to 1 is not to bo appro-
headed from the present sllvor- dollar
It is to bo looked for In the inovitabli
tendency of the new dollar to drive on
the undervalued gold. So long us tin
gold Is undervalued at the ratio of 20 U
1 it will continue to louve us. The pnl )
hope of bimetallism under n regime o
free coinage lies in the adoption of i
mint ratio that will bring the marko
ratio to coincide with it.
IN iiEFEimiNd to Secretary Carlisle'
ualoulut'oti ' that the rocolnage of our out
standing silver money at u now ratio o
20 to 1 would involve u loss to the govern
mont of over S112oOO,000 ! , the Now York
Sun suggests "ijtyit that loss may bo
transformed to-ui'proflt by scaling down
the gold coin ftfttoad of increasing the
weight of the pVfifont sllvor dollar. The
Sun obviously.-lulls to BOO that such
action would 'practically change our
standard of vaptj\jnnd would defeat its
own purpose of- bringing pecuniary
gains to the tr&Wnry. It would practi
cally change oy Btandard of value , bo-
catiso our mqjiqUry unit would then
bo n dollar otj8omo [ 00 or 70 cents ,
instead of a-1'dollar , ' of 100 cents ,
ns nt present-R-People owing debts
would gain by paying them In the de
based currency. Again the government
would fall to profit by it , because hav
ing free coinage of gold at the now
ratio , these who now hold our gold
coins could molt them down , take them
to the mint for coinage into dollars nt
the now ratio nnd gain the difference.
"Clipping the gold coin , " ns the Sun puts
it , is in reality a debasement of the cur
rency , not nn Innocent change of ratio.
IT IS time that the federal authorities
took some stops for the bettor regula
tion of the immigration into this coun
try , and the announcement will bo gen
erally welcomed that the superintendent
of Immigration Is soon to go to Canada
with n , view to making nn arrangement
with the Dominion authorities under
which it will not bo so easy as at present
for persons to como into the United
States through Canada. Owing to the
loose system of inspection nt ports on
our northern border it has boon n com
paratively easy matter for persons to
enter the United States , nnd it is
not to bo doubted that many
of the classes inhibited by our immigra
tion laws have found tholr way into tlio
country through this channel. The laws
of Canada relating to immigration are
BUfllcicntlystringont , but it is notorious
that they nro not enforced. There is
perhaps no branch of the public service
of the Dominion In w.hich there is loss
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 bo-very greatly reduced.

[ ircdlcamont which could hardly have failed
to Injure the prospoots of tholr party friends
at the ballot box. Had they promptly slgul-
Iled \vlllingness to nttor apologias and an
indemnity for 'the ' wrong done to natives
of Italy , they would have boon accused of
pusillanimity ; while , hail they 'refused rep
aration , they would have been charged
with exposing for selfish ends tholr country
to the rlsit of war with the Triple Alliance.
As It was , only two days intervened between
thn massacre nt Algues-Mortes and the elec
tion , and the government took care to defer
the revelation of the facts by circulating re
ports which misstated the cause of the riot
and minimized the number of the murders.
Now that President Carnet nnd his ad
visors are certain of commanding o majority
In the new Chamber , they will doubtless
deal with this unfortunate affair in tho0
proper spirit , and make adequate amends to
Italy for the wholesale slaughter of her
citizens.

Very insidious and shrewd Is the attempt
now being made by Russia to weaken and
oven destroy the alliance between Vienna
and Berlin. In the tariff war that the czar
has boon waging against Germany sioco the
1st of the month , ho has boon careful to
except Austrian produce and manuf ACturcs
from the prohibitive duties the increase
amounting to as much as CO per cent above
the maximum tariff to which German im
ports in Ilussia are now subjected. This , of
course , is having tho'effect of diverting the
profitable Russian trade from Germany to
Austria , much to the disgust of Germany.
The czar , moreover , is cndoavorinor still
further to augment the Jealousy that has
already arisen between the 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. * Petersburg
and Berlin have boon broken off iu the most
unexpected and aggressive fashion by direct
orders from the czar. Should the treaty bo-
twecn Russia and Austria bo concluded , ono
member of the Triple Alliance' would bo
commercially at war , and the other commer
cially not merely at peace but oven in alli
ance with Russia and enjoying the same
commercial and , in duo consequence , politi
cal advantages that Franco enjoys by virtue
of the Franco-Russian treaty of commerce
concluded ou the very same day upon which
Iho czar began , his tariff war on Germany.

The conciliatory disposition manifested on
both sides makes it likely that the "in
cident" of Algnes-Mortes will soon bo closed.
The Italian case was more or less weakened
by the fact that the mobs of sovcral.Indian
cities took their redress into their 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 Franco. It
scorns odd tint the iirst apology should have
come from Italy when the first offense came
from Franco. But the promptness of Italy
in making an apology for the misconduct of
the Roman mob , and In removing Roman
ofllolnls , makes the Italian demand foi
l-operation for the original offense all the
stronger. The French govoinmcnt has al
ready promised the removal of the Indis
creet mayor of Algiioa-Mortcs , nnd it will
doubtless consent to pay an indemnity for
the massacred Italians , especially since
Italy has already offered reparation for the
destruction done to French property in
Italy , thouch this did not includu any loss of
lifo. U is noteworthy that the excitement
seems to have boon much creator In Italy
than in Franco , a fact probably duo to the
existence in Franco of another form of ox-
cltomont In the shape of the elections.
