A Variety of OpiniOns-.-Why Gold

A Variety Of OpinionS-..Why Gold
Declincs.-.Will 1t Stay Downs
From he LOHlseiie Commercial.
Gold bears q low premium, because at
present Our exports Of cotton and bread
stuls are considerable; because, in conSc.
quCnCG Of III improvement In our national
credit, bonds arc freely taken for foreign
account, and because Of tho depressing
influence Of treasury sales, aud tho rapid
increase Of tho quantity Of gold held by
the Treasury. But these causes arc not
permanent. Gold Is the only commodity,
except what we export, that has largely
fallen In price. There has been, therefore,
no general appreciation Of tho currency.
The decline, moreover, Of the gold prCmi
llln, IlaS been rapid, and there can be no
good reason given why It should not rule
ut As aS well rs 20. In fact, IL the volume
OF the currency Inns anything to do with
regulating tho premium, md it certainly
has much 10 IlO with 1t, tic normal rllc
would 10 nearer the former than tho latter
of tho figures named. If the banks and
tho Government owned four hundred
millions Of gold, instead Of only about one
hundred and twenty millions, there would
be some good reason for expecting, q very
low rate Of coin premium. But the mo-
ment demand for gold arises, un advance
Is inevitable. OF latO there has been no
demand for 1t, and so 1t has declined, MS
would have happened 10 any other article
under similNr circumstances, But daily
experience teaches that when any leading
article has been the subject Of rapid de-
cline, and everybody becomes afraid to
touch It, tho depression Is artificial, and
reaction Is sure to follow soon.
Causes arc even now at work to bring
about such a reaction In the case Of gold.
The advance in the price Of bonds Is Ger.
tain 10 curtall tho demand for them, md
besides, the amount available for export Is
quite limited. Next, low gold means high
prices, TO the importer OF foreign goods,
lie sells his goods ut currency prices, and
Is enabled TO pay for them, and the duties
on them with cheap gold. This state Of
things will stimulate imports, and occasion
a demand for coin with Which 10 pay for
them. Nor is this all. Tho very low
premium on gold will check the export Of
cotton, tobacco and brcatlstufiS. Thus we
will need 10 resume the expectation Of
gold. Unless, therefore, our bonds con.
tinue to 20 abroad, and our imports do not
increase, and our export commodities arc

' Paris Gossip.
New YORK, March 0.
The World has an extraordinary sCnsa.
tion in its Paris letter Of February 21st,
published today. According to the gossip
Of tho French salons tho Emperor NapO-
leon III, died on the 9th Of September
last under the knife Of Surgeon Ricortl,
and In his plAce there rcigns the Prince
Imperial as Napoleon ~, with the En-
press Eugcnic as Regent. The story runs
that a near relative of tho Emperor,
though not in line Of succession, Mld bear
ing strong resemblance, appears in place
OF Napoleon on tho few occasions on
which lie Is supposed to appear in public.
The correspondent says tic plan Origina.
ted with the late Emperor, who feared
European complications, and TINT before
his death he received a promise from Eng
land, and It is believed from Russia, that
they would aid In maintaining the Prince
on Tic throne. The letter gives various
reasons for cretliting the story, and says
IL explains the recent remarkable change
Of policy on the part Of the French Gov
Crnment. Nevertheless 1t appears like n
