the country. the virOr and enterprise of our
people All these have TO do with the en-
hancement of prices, but nevertheless 1t is the
stimulus Of the vast additions Of gold TO the
currencv. 10 which the advanced prices are TO

have not been more than about eight per cent

within three years.
It's impossible bur that this exaggerated sd-
vance must be checked, this extraordinary
imitation Of prices be reduced, and be fol-
lowed by ruinous decline. For in the oscilla-
tion of prices consequent upon these move
uents in the currency, the recession Of rates
is apt to mark q point of depression ust as
much below the true value as its former ascen-
sion was too high.
In looking about us ard observing the gene
raj movement Of prices upward, we are led to
the conclusion that if they go on at the rate Of
advance exhibitedin the past two years, they
will. in about two years more. reach pon, TO
which our calculations would assume should be
their maximum in the year $50 or ISIS. At
the present rate of increase we shall certainly
be in 1854 or 1855, in respect Of prices, where
the extra gold supplies of California and Aus
tralia, suppOsiug their present annual prodac.
ton is to continue undated for the whole OF
that tine, might be expected to land US in the
course of a quarterofa century.
To sll, therefore. who are making haste to be
rich, we counsel caution and wsriness. There
are treacherous depths beneath the glittering
surface Of affairs. The prismatic hues OF the
bubble are beautiful, and it's growing expsn-
sion is wonder But there is point where
that expansion win end, and when it must
burst: We think we have intimated good
grounds for the belief that that time cannot be
very distant.

F- The Arabia arrived yesterday from
Liverpool, in ii days, hours, a very good
run for the season, beating the last passage OF
the Pacific by about IL hours. She brings
the exciting intelligence Of the outbreak Of an
insurrection in Italy, with proclamatiOns from
Mazzini and KOssuth, urging Italians and Hun
earians TO the overthrow OF Austrian despOt-
ism. 1t is stated that the rising was promptly
put down, with the loss of Eve men killed
fighting at Milan, and with the shooting OF
others afterwards, but the intelligence on
that head is much more meager than the Aus
TRAN would be likely 10 disseminate if the
affair were really so Insignificant. We may
hope for more definite and complete accounts
by the next arrival. One thing is certain
that if ever Government merited overthrow
and destruction it is that Of the Austrians,
and We can only wish success TO every effort
against it. But on the other hand il must be
deeply regretted if the friends of liberty suf
fer themselves TO be betrayed into any pre-
mature and mistaken rising. Such move
ments are no doubt very natural considering
the depth of oppression to which the Italians
are subjected; and is quite possible
that the fury of the people or some
portion of them may drive the leaders TO
steps which they would otherwise long post
pone but failure such as this is reported
TO be must have disastrous effect in putting
of the final day Of deliverance IN France the
Finance Minister has made a report to order
showing that there will be no deficit this year,
"a preposterous prophecy The revenue
so far has exceeded the estimates by some
seven millions Of dollars, but the expenses
have kept pace. with them and more, and
though the country appears to be in nearly as
prosperous condition as in 1916, il cannot
fail to see large addition to the floating debt
by the end Of the year in spite Of all the finan-
Gal juggling that may be practised Some of
the writer's for the press lately arrested at
Paris in so summary manner have been re-
leased a few OF the journals comment on the
outrage with astonishing freedom, which will
very likely bring down punishment on them
selves. Austria and Prussia have concluded
commercial treaty, which will amount TO
tariff union between them. From Montene-
gro we have decisive indications of the CON-
plete triumph Of the Turks and Of merciful
treatment from them to the vanquished. In
England the Ministry have made declaration
of the policy they propose to follow, Lord
John Russell being the spokesman in the
House of Commons 1t is not very brilliant
policy and carefully postpones electoral re-
form.
