OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Eron he \. z. conneretal AdTsrti.sr.

i
lniIsply TO correspondent We will en-
deaVor TO make clear to correspondent
the effect Of forced reduction of the
price OF gold. Hewill remember that one
day last week We gave table of % lead
ing articles otfarm produce, which showed
an aggregate rise of SO per cent, where
gold had risen SO per cent We have com.
piled table of sixteen leading imported
articles, the prices of which are affected
by duties and exchange, bat which being
coffee, tin, sugar and the like, are not
lnhueneed by the scarcity of the raw ma
terials. The result OF this table, compared
with gold and the first table mentioned,
are as follows:
29Farm Rise l6 i'm Rise
Gold articles. y ct. ported. % ct
March, '62 1OIa $429 =. S24l
March, '63 l64 T2T 20 3s3 so
March, '64 160 s4s 9s 546 100
Thus goldFose go per cent, farm produce
9s per cent? and imported articles l30per
cent? gold being thus far the cheapest.-
Now it is very apparent that the importers
who hold goods. at SAL in gold made q
profit, aud when they sold the same arti-
Giles this year for 1886 they were Obliged
to turn the paper money they received into
gold to remit. This would give, at l6O
1888 10 gold, from which deduct the war
duties in gold, and the proceeds are nearly
the same as in 1862. Let us now suppose
that having sold the goods for S546, Mr..
Chase comes into the market, and by forced
sales OF gold sends the price down to $l4O,
our importer will then get $3.50 for the
proceeds ofhis goods instead of 1898. he
Will thus have realized $52, or 20 per cent.
on the original price of his goods at the
expense of the Treasury. He will have $50
more.to remit out of the country. 1t is need.
less to say that he will repeat SO profitable
an operation as often as possible, and the
demand for gold to go out OF the country
Will increase in exact proportion to the
amount of gold sacrificed by the Treasury
ia order to reduce its price.
1t is very evident that that is not the
mode to reduce the price of gold or of COM
modilies generally. There is only one
mode, and that is in Scripture phrase
cease to do evil, learn to do well;" cease
70 issue paper money, and set about re-
dnclng the outstanding amount. LIST. Stop
National bank issues Immediately by re-.
pealing the law. I'd. Make all the out.
standing legal tenders convertible into a
SIX per cent. stock at once. Sd. Impose G
tax upon all property and business profit,
to the extent Of ut least $500, 600 900 pei
anuum, in addition to duties and existing
taxes.
With this provision there will be ne diff.
Guilty in getting the amount of money
wanted at home or abroad. There must
however, be no fauCiful individual theor,
about the apparent glori6cation of loaninI
ut a pretended lower rate of interest whei
the taCt is very high rate of interest
The money wanted must be got at tn
market rate whatever it is, and suticieu
taxes levied to pay il. There is no othe
safeguard against the evils that all se
rapidly advancing upon US.

Remarkable Prediction OF DoupIns.
The following is an extract from a late
speech in the House by Mir. Arnold, of
Illinois:
Here will pause a moment to state n
most remarkable prediction made bv
Douglas, In January, 1861. The statement
Is Furnished to me by Gen. G. D. Stuart, of
New York, a gentleman of the highest
responsibility. Douglas was asked bv
Mr.. Stuart, (wbo was making New Years
call on Mr.. Douglas,) "What will be the
result of the efforts of Jefferson Davis and
his associates to. divide the UnionPn-
Douglas replied, "The cotton States are
making an effort to draw in the border
States to their schemes of secession. and

TaF Philadelphia InquireF in tboupbt.

THE Philadelphia InquireF in a Thought.
fol and well matured article upon The
fearful eItravagance in dress, which. just
now RACES in our midst, says:
"The troubles in which we are involved
by the rebellion should teach us that il n
our duty to avoid increasing our foreign
debt This can only be done by reiectiog
tne hpeEy and gewgaw which European
nalons are pressing upon us, TO tempt the
weak and ensnare the thoughtless. Ex-
traVsgance intdress is at any time sim
Az period like this it is crime for
which, If prudence does not abate itS
manifestations, we will hereafter pay
dearly"
The heavy importations of lacss, satins,
silks, and all sorts of foreign Injuries. is
serious drawback just now, when gold
is rising and financial trouble looms in
the horizon. Every thoughtful man and
woman should frowu upon this folly, and
by example and teaching help to .refOrm
it altogether" A writer in the New York
Evening Post expresses the true philosophy
of duty at this jucture. he says:
81 hold that those who recommend per-
sonal economy at this juucture as solemn
duty are right, and ought to be listened
to. do not mean to say, by any means,
that u is the duty of everybody 20 wear

al devotion TO literature and the fiue arts

even necessary, whether in peace or war

The New National Banking Act.
The bill now pending in Congress
amendatOry of the National Banking law
is understood to be in accordance With the
views Of the Treasury Department, aud to
embody the experience gained by the
WORKING OF the law since it went into on.
Grafton. Its features are very important.
aud must inevitably increase in a LARGE
degree the preponderaHce of the national
banks over those created by Stale laws
BY making the rate of interest uniform AT
seven per cent, these institutions possess
decided advantage over the other banks
In States which, like Peunsylyapia. fix
their rate of interest at six per cent. In
New York the State rate has always been
seven per cent. and this is sometimes as-
signed as the reason why SO much capital
has been aggregated there, since it could
De used at higher rate of interest than ia
tennsylVanis. The new law, by making
the rate of interest uniform ali over ne
country, would abolish those unfayorable
determinations, aud place every section Of
the country upon the same basis.
1t is provided, also, 10 this bill, that
otate banks recognizing under the ma
tional system shall be permitted to retain
tnelr old names, instead of being number.
ed, as at present. This removes one ri
the most serious obstacles to the reors,e n.
llzauon OF old banks under the new system
as their old names we're valuable viii
