GOLD BIjILLOy FOR THE MINT.

Our readers are apprized tina, The Committee Of Fo
reign Relations in the House Of Representatives have
reported weeks ago, bill aPpropratlng seven mil
lions of dollars for purchasing the French and Nrsp!
tan inGemnitics Since the report Of that BILL It has BE-
come still proper and expedIent to make tr P!-
c!:ase About three millions and half OF the French
indemnity has been paid to the United States agent, IA
rpid and in the OF Transmission, IN parcels or
about three hundred thousand dollars, 10 the u States;
and notice is given that the second ;nsta!ment NJ The
Neapolilan indemnify will be paid to the United States
agent at Naples tie 9Th day Of June Qhs month y
Thus the gold is coming, and the true interest OF lie
neone of the United States requires that this gold shpd
tc purchased by the United Stars and coined under
tie ders Of The Government into quarter eagles, and
then sent BY the Cover nment into the interior OF me
Sales and there paid out 10 the people his is Wal
the interest OF the country requires; but this does not
suit The Presidential candidates on The floor OF the Sc
nate and their aderents; neither does II SUIT the retain
ers and pensioners of the United States Bank, WHO are
cnGeavorlng TO Illustrate tie gold currency, NJ" does
sut the surplus party, who want TO make surplus 20
divide or lend il to the States. All these parties against
purchasing the French and Neapoirn gold are III favor
of driving That gold out of the country just as fast as
President Jackson brings it in.
Rnt the French and Ncapol!tan indemncs are not
all due this summer. Two annual instruments OF lie
French indemnity Of about nine hundred Thousand dol
lars each (4G 6 francs and &c centimcs and bearing
an interest of four per centutE per Cnnu from tie I'd
day of February le2 until paid and annua! IN
stauen,s Of the N apoun indemnify Of about one hun.
dreG and ninety thousand dollars each (235 900 drcas
with interest at the rate Of four per cenlum per annu!
from the 9Th day Of June lsc yet 10 be paid and
thereby would bring annual supply of gold or
raj years Thus the tro French and The scrrh
Neapoli,an instanens, with their respective interest
from February, Ic32, end June 1888: until paid, would
make a very large in gold 10 be secured To the L.
States in exchange for surpius paper now lying IN te
drposile banks and paying Interest: II The BIZ! Tor
the purchase of those indenni!ies could be passrd-
Seven millions would purchase the whole; in return Tor
which the United States would receive above eight mil!
lions, all the future accrulnS interest would belong I"
her.
We venture to AFFIRM that if it had not been for The
tsnorasng and debauching schemes of dividing and of
lending the public money, which have been Matched by
the broken down candidates for the Presidency, and
their hatred the gold cncy this bill would have
been passed by unanimous vole the day it brought

The illusion Of urge surplus TO divide lend; ad
this principle, it is said, the appropriations for the

much for having the Senate Of tie UEcd STATES nesl-

millions have been appropriated; two large anu Jour sai
