ing the past few days the inquiry has de-
veloped facts Of a most astounding char
acter, but the members of the committee
are pledged to secrecy and hold their
sessions with closed doors, and are very
reticent. Enough is known, however. to
warrant the statement that there is q
deficit Of several millions between the
accounts of the sales OF captured prop
erty in the South, and the return of
money from such sales. In cotton the
difference is very great.

SILVER CoIN.-It is somewhat singular
that there is not in all countries with q
metallic coinage standard medium of
exchange. In one land silver is preferred,
in another gold. At this moment we
stand on the balance, as it we're, with an
actual paper currency and an approx
mating gold currency, the first step to-
ward which will be circulation of silver
coin. With US, when the "good time
coming" has arrived at last, we may
hope to have free circulation of silver
concurrently with gold, as they have in
England. The leaning in Continental
Europs is for the establishment of gold
as the standard medium of circulation.
Ever since 1866 several European govern
ments France, Belgium, Switzerland,
Greece and Italy, have annually sent
delegates to Paris to settle the amount
of silver to be coined by each OF them
in the ensuing twelve months. For the
year 1875 it has adjusted that France
shall coin ffty-four million francs ($10..
SOO. OOO). Italy thirty-six million 49,.
3OO, 0OO), Greece twelve millions 49,,
5OO, 0OO), Belgium ten million $4,000,
OOO). and Switzerland seven million (ol
81, 4OO, O00). The other leading poweri
OF the world-England. Portugal, United
States and Germany-have adopted, con
trariwise, the exclusive use Of gold as
commercial COUNTER Phil. Press.

This reduced from sterling money to
our dollars, shows an aggregate excess
of British imports over exports of &c.
LII, 1916, ,675-more than sjp thousand mil.
lions of dollars! in eleven years past.
We admit that .England's vast accu-
mulated wealth can stand such degree
of depletion as this as we'll as any other
nation, perhaps better. But it is certain
that no people on earth can stand such
a strain upon their resources without
serious arrangement and ultimate ruin
OF their finances. 1t was not in this way
that England accumulated her wealth;
but by an opposite condition of trade.
Surely it can be no wonder that her In
dustrial and financial systems are now
deranged, that her manufacturing bust
ness languishes, and that her domes.
tic trade has become stagnant
And if persisted in. this com.
mereial policy can not fail to work
financial mischief even more dis
astrous than any she has yet encoun.
tered. This is but the beginning of the
end; and the end is universal bank
ruptcy.
Besides all this, the capitalists of
England have been sinking enormous
sums in Russian bonds, in Egyptian
bonds, in Peruvian bonds, in Turkish
bonds, and the like, upon which not even
the interest is now obtainable.
| In view of all these things, we can moi
but consider the ''impending crisis" in
| England as of most serious portent. A
crash, such as may ensue, in that center
Of the commercial world, can not fail tc

GETTING C MORE THAN HIS SHARE


In q little brown house, on dairy farm,
Near q wood. In the land OF Penn,
There lived, in old times. as lovely a maid
AS has smfled on the world since then.
AS quiet and prim as a nun she looked,
In her modest Quaker gown!
And the s'thees'' and the ''thous" from the
rosebud mouth
Were like pearls dropping down.
In her nimble fingers the shuttle flew
+ Back anu fofth.like a swIft~winged bird;
While the song in her heartand the song on
her lips
For hearts are so light and love is so sweet,
While life IS yet in its May.
That e'en through a bodice OF Quaker drah
Brave Cupid will find his way.
And the bashful Seth, who was waiting the
time
When she should say yea or nay
To what he would ask. but never had dared,
Thought this the auspiclous day. ~a
81 love thee, Martha; dost thou love mef'
And the answer came soft and low; .
"Why, we are commanded to love one anothef,
/ fnd it no task, you Know"
"But dost thou regard me, dear Martha, in
truth,
With the feeling the world calls lover
Dost thou dream OF a home for our welded
souls
AS a joy all joys aboves"
Then she sweetly smiled, as she archly said:
.'Dear seth. L love all, thou'rt aware;
But sometimes have thought that perhaps,
after all,
Thou vast getting more than thy share"

British Imports and Exports.

Every political economist has his
own special theory concerning the
cause OF the business depression now
throughout this country. So
are those theories that
their aggregated weight amounts to
just nothing at, sall.. By their
they neutralize each
other. Ithas been a common theory that
the business depression of this country |
has been caused by our irredeemable pa !
per currency, But when it comes to be |
considered that our currency has not for |
two years varied materially either in
amount or value, but has remained al
most as stable, and with even less loss
for local exchanges, as at any previous
time in our history. this theory becomes
apocryphal. And when 1t is furthermore
considered that business failures have
been proportienately greater, and COM
mercial depression even more serious in
other countries whose currency was
gold or it's equivalent, than here, this
theory seems no longer maintainable.
In Canada, in England, in Belgium, in
Germany, the prostration OF business
and stagnation in their industrial pur-
suits have been even worse than in the
United States. Their failures have been
more numerous aud for vastly larger
amounts than with us. Yet neither OF
them has had an irredeemable paper
currency upon which to cast the blame
of these financial disasters. 1t Is plain,
| therefore, that the radical cause of these
revulsiops in trade must be sought Tor
in something beyond an irredeemable
currency; and which. though bad
4 enough, is yet, in this regard, more
slnned against than SHINING.
4 We repeat what we have heretofore
stated in our columns, that since our
panic of 1873 we have gained in gold
| SIC, ,000, 900 by the excess of our exports
over our imports. We have also stated
the further fact that, during the period
from 1871 to 1873 inclusive, our imports
were greater than our exports by the
enormous sum of 1881, 900. Under
this terrible pressure of balance oftrade
against us, a crash was inevitable. /,
came in the panic of 1878. And the very
next year we turned the balance of trade
in our favor to the extent of $40, 600 600
and the present year to the extent o
l$16, 100000. And we claim that this il
sound and healthful recuperation.
But the depression has not been con
,, fined to this country. Great Britain i
even now perhaps more seriously de
pressed than we are In business affairs
An examination into the statistics o.
her foreign, or export, trade will revea
facts similar in all respects to those
that preceded and produced our panic
OF 1878. But, unfortunately tor her con.
dition, England still continues to bu.
more than she sells. And this she ha
been doing for eleven years past, a
shown by the following table:

A NEW IxDUsTRY.-It is doubtless
weh kAown that California handles and
ships her millions oil tons of wheat and
-four altogether in sacks. As her grain
products Increased in quantity the de-
mand for sscks grew in due proportion,
until finally it became matter of seri-
GUS concern to obtain the requisite num-
Der of sacks wherewith to store and
market the grain. The material from
which these sacks are made Is the jute,
grown principally in India, and sent
from Calcutta to Dundee. in Scotland,
where it was manufactured into what is
there called Hessians, but which we
deaemiuate "buriaps.' From Scotland
this was shipped to California as mate
rial Tor the grain sacks. But within
two years past, manufactures have
been established at Calcutta, whence
the burlaps are now shipped direct to
California, thus saving the transporta-
tion to Europe and back again.
Formerly, also, the sacks were made
in England, and sold to the California
shippers of grain as "hand sewed" sacks.
Recently, however, the business OF man
ufacturing these sacks has been estab-
lishsd in California, and conducted by
machinery with great success.
One sack factory, as we learn from the
San Francisco papers, has been put in
full operation in that city, wherein are
employed fifty men and boys aud enc
hundred and twenty-five girls. This one
factory runs eighty sewing machines
driven by steam with a fifteen horse
power engine. At each one OF these ma
chimes sewing-girl makes five hundrel
sacks each day, working twelve hour
during the busy season. thus turning gu
NO less than forty thousand sacks daily
Some idea Oh the magnitude of thii
newly established industry may b.
formed when it is considered that, tt
meet the demand for sacking the presen
grain crop, the enormous number o
tWenty sic millions of sacks are required
0i this number the single factory allud
five millions OF sacks, about one million
per month. .-...e t.-.....
In the process of making them ,ther
are sixteen hemming girls, and each gil
hens almost two miles of hemmin
daily, the whole extent of the daily hem
ming being about tsceaty nine miles. Be
sides these burlap grain sacks, one foo
OF the factory is devoted to flour sack
made Of cotton goods. Four machine
are employed at this work, and turn GU
four thousand -four sacks daily
The whole establishment is spoken Q
as managed with the most perfect deco
rum and systematic order even to th
minu;est details. The advantages c
this new branch of industry to the graf
growing interests of the Pacific slop
are almost iDcalculable.

THE testimony Of Bluford Wilson be-

utter badness in a woful light. The facts
as detailed tend to show that he in every

by interlining before showing them to
the President. Babcock's cunning in
making mischief between Gen. Grant
and the officials Of the Treasury Depart

man, a false friend, and contemplate
sc0undrel. Grant would have been wise
TO have sent him to Sitting Bull for re-
form five years ago. He was bad then,
and has been growing no better very
fast.

Cutting Steel with Soft Iron.

Jabob Reese, of Pittsburg. Pa, had
long endeavored to construct machine
to cut hardened cold steel. He accom-
plished it at length by means of a saw
of soft wrought iron-merely a circular
disc rotating at high velocity. With
low speed this would not cut at all; but
when running about $4,000 feet per
minute the disc cut through steel rap
idly, giving out an immense cascade Of
sparks in the operation. It was found
on examining the debris beneath the
disc that the particles of steel were not
simply rubbed off. They were welded
together in pyramid like stalagmite
or the snow circles on the top of Mount
Washington. Professor Hedrick ascer-
tanned that real fusion had taken place
among the particles of steel. The disc
is very little heated, but the steel is &C
tually melted and drops down. Yet
the bar on each side of the cut is not
heated enough to draw the temper or
oridize the metal. Solid bars Of steel
of two or three inches in, diameter are
thus cut through in as many minutes.
The soft metal disc is about AZ inches
in diameter. The naked hands may
be passed through the jet or stream of
flying sparks, during the operation,
without being burned, since the parti.
cles Of melted metal are in the condi
ton known as the spheroidal state.

A Queer Way to Harden Butter

An English butter-maker of large exr,
perience, who is now on a visit to this
country for the purpose of looking
over our cheese and butter diaries,
gives us the following information con-
corning method in practice among
the best butter-makers in England for
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather: Carbonate Of soda and
alum are used for the purpose, made
into powder. For twenty pounds of
butter one teas ooonful of carbonate OF
soda and alum are mingled together at
the time Of churning and put into the
cream. The effect Of this powder is to
make the butter come firm and solid,
and to give it a clean, sweet flavor 1t
does not enter into the butter, but ITS
action is upon the cream, and it passes
off with the buttermilk. The 'ingreol-
ents of the powder should not be min
gled together until required to be used,
or at the time the cream is in the churn
| ready for churning.
