THE FINANCIAL FLURR J.

The rise in gold and the tight mon
ey market are not all due to large impor-
tations and the legitimate demand of bu-
siness They are largely due it APP
pears to combinations in Wall street to
embarrass the new Secretary of the Treas
ury and obtain control of the financial sit
uation. The Boston Globe says ''the pres
lent extraordinary disturbance in the
money market is the result Of the ma
"chinstions of reckless spectators in New
York, whose aim is to control all the
circulating medium and take advantage
"of the necessities OF the market by
charging exorbitant rates for loans
But this is only part of their plan.
They are not satisfied with private gain
and the spreading of ruin and distress in
the business community, they strike
for revenge also. 1.-The leaders," SAYS
the Globe, Sin the present financial riot
''have declared open war upon the gov
eminent because Of their disappointment
lin not getting Secretary Of the Treas
'ary of their own choosing. They have
NOW double purpose to subserye. viz,
their private gain at the expense of the
''business community. and their revenge
upon the administration for neglecting
ito appoint their fayorite. They are de-
termined, If possible, to make the office
too hot for Mr.. Richardson, and to drive
him from the department
1t is thought, however, tina, the conspir-
ators will miss their mark They viii
not drive Mr.. Richardson ont of the
Treasury. In the end their schemes will
be thwarted. They have caused, and will
cause distress, but the wheels Of business
will move on, the Treasury will bear the
strain successfully and crush its opposers
If they continue their opposition. 1t is
the trial of the new order of things fnan-
cially under the second administration of
Grant. the result of which will probably
be greater effort on the part of the gov
eminent to render sucl, combinations Of
gamblers hazardous or impossible The
Philadelphia North American and Gazette
urges the Secretary to sell gold and smash
the combination. 1t says: Mr.. Rich
''ardson has now an opportunity to strike
elbow at an illegitimate and dishonorable
''sort Of business, and we hope he will
mot suffer the opportunity TO pass unim-
proved. 1t is simply legitimate against
''illegitimate business, and the interest of
1.-THE country requires the triumph of the
''iormer. Fisk is dead, but his spirit ap-
pears not to have departed from Wall
street. No administration can afford to
permit Wall street to dictate its financial
policy. There is but one way to break
down gambling enterprise, and that is
''to break the bank and smash the tables.
''We think that the Secretary can do that :
1t is probable that the crisis OF the iinau.
cial furry has passed. The gamblers
have done their worst. What is desired
by the country is that the opportunity for
such schemes shall be narrowed within
the smallest limits. This the President
and the new Secretary understand. With
a currency as good as gold, the game of
the conspirators would be at an end, and
towards that we must aim in such way As
we can.
