The London Times on the Presi-

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Times In a leading edi-
torial this morning, discussing the message OF
President Hayes to Congress, says:-If the legal
tender notes in circulation be called in and can
celed, silver dollars must take their place and
the existing plethora be relieved. Further relief
will come in due time from the natural action of
trade. The money that has flowed In such pro-
fusion from Europe to the United States cannot
always remain there. Its presence will soon be
felt in rise of prices throughout the Union, land
as soon as a rise has been established, demand
for European goods will follow and the current
of money from the east to the western shores of
the Atlantic will be arrested, If not reversed.
A process of this kind cannot be completed
within week or month, but its development
may be anticipated as confidently as the move
ment of the tides.
German Steel for American Gold.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Times, in its financial
article this am, says:-Among other evidences

the adverse trade balance with the United
States are advices from Germany which show
that one million hundred weights of steel blocks
have been sold for shipment to America, by Herr
Krupp and others. This operation will be

he was utterly opposed to extreme measures in
any manner connected with them: that under
certain circumstances where parents refused to
send their children to these schools the right OF
sacrement might be temporarily withheld, but
whenever a case OF that nature occurred the
