decline in gold indicates al increase of foreign
confidence 10 the preservation of peace with the
outside world and the speedy adjustment of our
internal difficulties. The tone of the Pres.
dents message, and the exhibits of the Secrc
tary of the Treasury, have had great influence
in Europe in raising the standard of our nation

bonds are coming from Europe. Gold of course
will seek Investment in Them. and, hence, Uni
ted States bonds and promises to pay of all
kinds must go up and gold must 60 down
We are inclined to think if the Southern
States were at once restored, aud the Mexican
