Ban FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-The financial situa-
ton developes no new features. This morning
the National Gold Bank and Trust Company and
and Merchants Exchange Bank remained closed.
The election tomorrow begins to engross public
attention, which is heightened by contradictory
reports, believed to have political significance as
to the condition of the Bank OF Californ a and
the prospects of its resuming.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Sit is stated that
there is reasonable probability OF the Bank OF
California resuming.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-In connection with
recent rumors concerning the affairs of the Bank
of California respecting the over issue of stock,
disappearance Of securities and other fraudulent
proceedings, this much is known positively:
That from three to three and half millions
of the assetsof the bank have been very recently
distracted without the knowledge of the direc-
tors. How this has been done is not known at
present. The directors are still busy examining
the state Of affairs. but it is not known when the
report will be ready.
a report has prevailed during the afternoon,
which may have gone East, that Burling Bros,
one of the most prominent firms of stock brokers,
have failed for 81, 900 $50. Inquiry fails to con-
firm the report. 1t is true that the firm is affect

on good authority that Mr.. sharon will back

Why is Not a Greenback Note as Good rs a

problem that some of the great minds among
the iDiationists might cogitate with profit is this:
Why should Bank of England note, for, say len

country, than National Bank or greenback note

sent about the same amount in hard money, the
difference being in favor of the American note.
value, and yet man could buy more provisions,
clothes or anything else that he wanted right
here in Baltimore with the English currency
than he could with that issued under the sane
ton of our own government and secured by it.
The answer, Of course, is that the foreign note
is worth precisely what it purpOrts to be; that it
is an honest and not dishOnored promise to pay,
and that it is redeemable at any time in honest
dollars. So much being granted-and it can MOI
be disputed-does it not follow that the only
method of making q really sound currency is to
bring it up to its face value? And can this possi-
lily be done by adding to the volume OF promises
the fear that certain party may obtain the
power to make them Of still less worth? What,
then, becomes Of the argument that in
some mysterious, inscrutable way the
business and manufacturing interests OF
the country are to be stirred into &C
tivity by flood OF currency that the more we
have Of it the further it declines in value If a
circulating issue already based upon the National
