The last sight we had Of the ship her guards

possible to FENDER any assistance, and we
soon lost sight Of all, as the fog continued
very dense. We were then about 60 miles
from Cape Race. Deeming it our duty to
take the nearest course for safety all pulling
at the oars 40 hours, with nothing to guide
as but the run Of the sea, Of which took the
bearing from the southwa ard, and in a thick
fog which lasted all the time, we reached
Broad Cove, IL miles north of Cape Race.
We then proceeded by land to Renaws, and
there obtained and took charge of a small
schooner and proceeded Immediately in

around in a strong gale Of wind from the N.
E., but discovered no track OF the ship or

City Of Phila del hia, acquaintng him with
the catastrophe, and l am informed that he
sent of two vessels which he employed
about his own ship, but no trace of the Arc

were many vessels in the neighbOrhood
where the disaster occurred, it 10 not at all
improbable that many lives may have been

The Tomb Of DIR: GARDINER.

A Washington letter writer says that with
in the enlargement ofthe Congressional Gem
elery repose the remains of George A. Gar.
diner, a name familiar to the world, the in
scription impressed, we suppose by frater-
nal affection, is simply "our brother" The
honor conferred, by assigning to the remains
Of DR.. Gardiner place in a National Gem
etery ,is perhaps explained by the epitaph.-
For, from the popular estimate Of Congress-
ional honesty, the numerous committees
raised to investigate charges against its men,
bers, the acknowledgment Of those to whom
the Congressional Cemetery 10 dedicated,
that this unfortunate felon was "our BROTH
err" has a melancholy and satirical signif-
canoe.

HIGH PRICE OF PAPER The high price
of paper is becoming alarming to newspaper
publishers. The New York Tribune has
diminished it's size so as to cut down its "pa-
per bili'' six hundred dollars per week, or
thirty-one thousand two hundred dollars per
year.
The New York Journal of Commerce, a
paper of immense dimensions but Of small
circulation, recently stated that its bills for
paper amounts to near $4,000 per year.
The New York Times states that its pa
per bill for the last SIX months was $50 600.
The Paducah Journal appears now only
as a Weekly. The proprietor offers as
reasons for suspending his semi-weekly
high price of paper, high freights, and hard
times.

Now AND THEN.-After the passage Of the
Tariff in 1912, and prior to that Of 1916, re-
MARKS the New York Times, we became large
importers of gold and silver-the excess of
importations over explorations during that
period, being nearly forty millions. Capital
was plenty-the rates of interest low-and
every branch of productive industry, agricul-
tural, mechanical and manufacturing, found
abundant and profitable employment. But
since the year lS47 the tide has turned-the
excess of expectations of the precious metals
over the imports for six years ending June'
1853, reaching the enormous sum of one hum
dred millions. The same drain of gold has
been going OH the past year. Nothing but
the influx of California treasure has saved
US for the last three years from being over
whelmed by the consequence Of our folly.
But now, all the gold of California does
not suffice to pay our balances to Europe,
and leave us enough for our own home uses.
Money has become exceedingly scarce-the
rates of interest Highland every branch Of
industry has of course, begun to suffer. 1t is
probably but the beginning of the end. 1t is
idle to expect in the future any such relief
from California as our necessities demand
Our ability to buy its gold is greatly dimin-
ished from what it was three years ago, and
will be more and more diminished every year,
with the progressive increase of agricultural
productions in that State. What we buy
must be mainly paid for in our manufactures
with the prodigious falling off in the profits
we used to make on the exchange.
