which grows out Of the practice Of the Department
Of purchasing from Indians the products Of their
labor.
On many 81 the reservations individual members
of the Indian tribes have made much progress IN the
art of agriculture aud are able 10 raise corn' wheat
nnd POTATOES considerably in excess Of their own
need. These products have been sold by The Innian
Agents and the money 80 has been accounted
for 10 the Department, while brass checks
representing the price of their products, have been
given 10 the Indians instead of money, aud these
checks are received hy traders in payment for goods
purchased of them by the Indians. IL has been
a.ccftaiu,d. however. that thc prices charged
hy traders for goods tO be paid Tor by
checks have been much greater than when
paid for in money. For instance, -
n money would buy .as many blankets
ia flG in brass checks, and 81 ia the lsticr would
purchase only about two pounds Of sugar. u - be-
hevcd that an understanding has existed between
some of the Indian Agents and the traders
ly means Of which the latter have been able
to swiudlc the Indians in this way. The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs said to-day that

of The Daily Telegraph are not worthy OF credit un
less confirmed from some other source.
And what can be said of the remark ir the same
journal that Osmans name will shine with "un-
stained lusre" in the pages of histOryf Is history
to record of the savage crueles of the Turks,
to pour out maudlIn praises, Telegraph fashion,
over the man who looked on while his soldiers tor
tured their prisonerai Osnan is admired, no Doubt
by the patrons of the newspaper which kills aud
canonizes him. His name invOkes storms Ofapplausc

less popular in the higher circles whose TurcOmania
is reflected in the gilt columns of The Morning Post
But the day will come when Engishmen will not

apologists and admirers OF the Turk.
The Queen seems to have been too much occupied
with the Turks to receive Mr.. Welsh. For that, or
some other equally good reason the official inter
view between Her Majesty and our new Minister,
which to have taken place on Tuesday, has been
deferred. This has postponed Mr.. PierTeponfs de-
parture. He means or did mean, to go to Cannes
for few weeks sunshine before sailing for home,
while Mrs. Perrcpont remains in London through

FLANKING THE SILVER MEN.
LOANS ON A GOLD BASIS.


A MEETING OF LEADING BANKS CALLED TO AGREE
TO PLAN or UNITED ACTION.
meeting of presidents Ofthe leading banks has
been called for this afternoon to arrange for concert
of action regarding future loans. The fear OF the
passage of the Silver Bill by two-thirds vote has
aroused the bankers, and the intention is to have
united action to make no future loans except on
gold basis. Several banks and banling-houses have
already taken the initiative, and now decline loans
to be paid in currency, except to regular deposltars
Among these are the First National Bank, the Amer
lean Exchange Bank and the banking house OF
WinSlow, Laner K Co.
prominent banker, who is heartily in favor Of
the proposed pan said yesterday, that no good re-
suits could be looked for without concerted action
If few banks require gold basis, without the
hearty cooperation Of the other banks, there would
be a tendency to concentrate all the business of
loans in the hands of other mOneyed institutions. To
prevent this difficulty. and to make use of the only
sure remedy against a flood of silver, which would
follow the passage of the Bland bill, and in the end
would destroy the value of Government securities
and long loans, the meeting Of officers of hading
money -oaning institutions has been called to act
together in the present emergency
If gold basis is agreed to here, great confidence
Is expressed that similar action will be promptly
taken by the banks in Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. Bank officers were not inclined to dis
cuss the proposed meeting yesterday. but they all
agreed that the time for decisive steps
had arrived. President Winston, OK the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, has completed
his address to the Finance Committee, in which
he takes strong ground in favor of making the gold
standard the basis Of all future loans, in order to
save the millions of bond and real estate assets of
the company from being paid hereafter in a depre-
cated coin currency, should the Bland bill become
a law.
A member of the Syndicate stated that up to yes
terday he had some hope that the Bland bill wonld
be defeated, but when he learned how Judge
Davis, of Illinois, had been manufacturing
public sentiment to bolster him mp on the
silver question, and how vigorously Senator
Jones was working sacrificing everything for
votes in favor of the bill, he had given up all
hope. lie expressed the opniQp that noney-loanlne
institutions could only save the country from the
crayrSt financial disasters by working harmoniously
together on gold basis for loans.
