INCREASE OF GOLD.

We look for almost all sorts of absurdities
in the discussion Of all sorts of questions. And
in none more than on statistical subjects But
we have hardly anticipated anything quite so
preposterous as the presumption brought TO
light by The Courier and Enquirer, that the
stock Of precious metals was less in 1850 than
it was in 1910 by goo millions of dollars In
other words that during that period the agre-
gate stock was reduced from about 2 900 mil
lions 10 900 millions, or one half. Tits added,
that those who take this view of the subject
consistently argue that the yield from Califor-
MIA and Australia must be immense, if not ex.
hausting, before even the balance Of lSl0 can
be restored. This presumption of decrease is
founded upon the increased use Of the pre-
cious metals in the arts and for ornamental
purposes.
If this Judgment be correct then prices of
commodities must have been constantly de-
Ginning for the last thirty or forty years.
Stocks, real estate, products of labor of all
sorts, must have been experiencing rapid
decline. Now al know to the contrary. Il
is known to every body that during the quar-.
ter OF century preceding 1850, no such de.
cline has taken place. IL is within the expe-
rience OF all, In this country at least, that
there has been, in the main, q gradual enhance
ment of the wages Of labor and the prices If
real property instead And if we turn TO Eu-
rope We find an evidence that the same thing
has there taken place, or at least that no de.
cline Of prices has been experienced. in the
fact that British Government Stocks, notwith-
standing the extraordinary drawbacks of un.
diminishing Indebtedness, of famine. euiera-
ton, railroad speculations, and other Ike
causes OF depression and retrogression. had
GdtGEeed rather than reeeded during that De.
riod. The substitution Of machine for hand.
labor has lowered the price of a thousand
Manufactured articles, but this is the result of
mechanical skill and the discoveries of science
In every article which can be fairly taken az
criterion, we are confident that il will be found
that no decline has taken place. If this be
true the fact utterly oyerthrows the SUPPOSE.
ton OF the presumed diminution of the stock
OF the precious metals; which, as the circu-
iatlng medium, or the basis Of it, everywhere.
could suffer no such diminution without a nro.

manifested when we reflect that the total pro.

otherwise they should grumble and let it alone

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.

Now that the Railroads are about 10 revise
their timetables for the milder season, We
urge their managers to correct one very glar
ing fault in their past arrangements-thato OF
ero,eding their trains so that the least accident
or detention throws them behind time. We
speak feelingly on this point, for We have re-
peatedly suffered by the error we deprecate
Gentlemen Directors! take time enough at the
outset, and then take care that your trains are
seldom behind their advertised time We
could name several which are far oftener out of
Of time than up to it, to the very serious detri-
ment Of their customers. A train of its time
is usually compelled to wait for meeting trains,
and so to lose two hours (Often involving the
failure TO make important cOnnections) which
would have been saved if no attempt had been
made to shorten the running time unreasona-
bly, We wish there were law whereby every
passenger in a train behind time might demand
twenty-five cents an hour at his journeys end
for the time SO taken from him. and if the
Railroads do not cOntriye to run up to their
timetables more thoroughly than many of them
now do, there ,ciH be some law of the sort en-
acted Gentlemen managers reform the abuse
forthwith. Take twice your present time, if
needed but fulfill your Owa voluntary promises

A woYLD,s TEMPERANCE CONVENTION


1t is judeiously suggested that WoRLD 5
TEMPERANCE CONVENTION be held in our City
at some time during the approaching World S
Fsir-say in August next.
We hope the suggestion will be appropriate
ly seconded and generally responded 20. We
would have no one neglect his business and
devote time and means that he can III spare to
this object; but in every State, and slmos.
every County and considerable township or
village some one can be found who win natur-
ally be coming to our City at some time during
the Fair, and who will readily consent to time
ms visit so as to attend the Convention if
que notice thereof be seasonably given.
We have no excessive estimate of the value
ofConventions. We readily coneede that time
and effort might possibly be otherwise EN-.
ployed so as to aid the Temperance cause
more than by attending remote Conventions
but We believe movement like thar contem.

nished the principal supply Of gold and siivs'
for the world from the time ftheir discovery to
the prese Mt Is estimated TO have been but about
seven thousand millions Of dollars. If the cal
culstion referred to is correct. it would show
that near ore-third part Of the aggregate addi-
ton to the stock made in three hundred and
fifty years, has gone into the melting pot within
half a century The presumption is preposter-
GUS on the face Of it.
The fact undoubtedly is that there has been
a regular increase of the stock of the precious
metals ever since the discovery Of America.
Though the increase for the last century pre-
vious to the gold discoveries in California and
Australia had nothing like the influence upon
prices that was felt for the first century aud
half after the discovery of the New World;
and for the plain reason that the proportiona'e
additions to the existing stock were nothing
like those made in the first period. The dis
coyeries of California and Australia, instead of
being necessary to restore any exhausted stock,
are beyond all question augmenting the circu-
lsting medium of the world in marked de-
gree, and must produce permanent apprecia-
ten Of prices, though they are certainly not
great enough to warrant the imitation which
has taken place at this and other commercial
centers.

From WAsHNeroS.-Mr Clayton concluded
bis remarks yesterday in the Senate on the
Central American question. He declared his
opinion that Great Britain is disposed to OBJ
serve her treaty stipulstions in respect to that
country, to the fullest extent and the tele-
graph informs us that he cited several facts in
support Of HE assertion, but what they were it
fails to inform us. The question Of violation
seems TO have become one simply ofboundary.
Is the Belize in Central America Mr. Clay
ton says no." Mr.. Mason produces a map Of
Guatamala, which, he says, affords at least prina
.tacie evidence that IL is. Mr.. Clayton takes
the same map, points out the dotted lines upon
it, and says Mr.. Mason is mistaken. Now, this
discussion and difference of opinion ON this
question Of boundary makes one thing very
apparent and this is, that Great Britain will
justify her colonization Of the Bay Islands, and
her bombardment of Truxillo Of it be true she
has done this) on the ground that the Bdlwer
and Clayton Treaty does not cover these pos
sessions. So that if difficulty is to spring up
with England on this question, it will not De
strictly upon the ground that the treaty has
been violated, but upon our enforcement Of
the Monroe doctrine. England will politely
inform us that the Clayton and Bulver Treaty
has nothing to do with her acts in Honduras.
The question will then arise, shall We enforce
the Munroe doctrine and pull down her flag on
Roatan and TruxillOl What says our new
administration Toe the mark, gentlemen

LEGIsLATvE.-In the SENATE, yesterday, no
tice was given Of a bill to incorporate the Ro-
man Catholic Bishops of this State. The bill
for relief in the matter Of assessments upon
real estate in this City was passed. An Act
relative to the Common Schools in New.York
City was reported complete. There was a
long and valueless debate upon bill TO incor-
pOrate the Trustees Of the German Mission
Church at Buffalo. The bill finally passed
In the ASSEMBLY, the City Of New-York oc-
cupied the day The Speaker presented me-
mortal for an amendment to the Charter Mr..
Gale moved reference td'the City Delegation.
ThereupOn arose q spirited debate, in the
course of which it became manifest that
a majority Of the City Delegation would
like TO get hold of the matter for
the purpose Of straDgling it. Mr.. j. Rose
said it was insulting to the City members
not TO give them the exclusive control of reform.
Mr.. Kennedy thought if the people of the City
who were hanging around the Legislature would
eOhome and attend TO their elections they would
find no cause to apply at Albany for reform.
MIR. Rose stated that the Press of New-York
had been suborned TO abuse the Common
COuncil-that they had no actual knowledge Of
what they were discussing. The resolution to
refer to the New York Delegation was lost by
two votes only. Reconsideration was had, and
after long talk the whole subject was laid on
the table The Appropriation bill was then re-
ported. Mr. ID. Il. Taylor got up his endorse
ment Of the Presidents Inaugural, but the par
