FIRES IN THE FORES rs.
Eight Thousand Acres burned Over In Ulster
Co.-Gnme for sporismen.

WEST HURLEY n. Y, May 16.-Extcnsive
forest fires have been raging in Ulster County
for week past. More than 5000 acres have
been swept over. and the loss amounts to thou
sands OF dollars. These fires occur nearly
every spring. but rarely have they caused SO
great damage rs this season. Firewood, rail-
road ties. telegraph poles, and much other val
liable timber have been destroyed. The fire. is
still Under full headway. and, though tho in
habitants arc turning out IL. great numbers 70

The fire is chiefly confined 10 the towns OF llur-
ley, MarbletOwn, Olive, and Woodstock. The
region bordering on the Catskills suffers most
severely. The large tract Of forest qunrries
near this village. known as the Hurley Woods
has been sorely scourged. In many instances

huts to keep away snakes and obicctionahle

The Financial Contest.

The difficulty In reconciling the views set
orth by the President of the United States in
his annual message and the Secretary of the
Treasury in his annual report with the views
undoubtedly held by majority of the repre-
sentatives OF the people and of the people them
selves grow out of the fact that there is so much
truth and justice on each side of the question.
On the one side, the legaltender currency is
regarded as temporary in its character and an
unfulflled promise to pay; on the other side
there is a manifest determination that no re-
duction in the circulating medium shall be
allowed TO interfere with the wave of prosperity
which has now set in over the whole country,
developing with wonderful rapidity it's resources
and Industries.
The government has recently devised an ex-
pertinent. growing out Of the silver question,
which may afford partial or entire solution of
the difficulty in the issue of silver certificates
based upon the deposit of the coin. Why not
do the same with the gold?
The gold now held Dy the Treasury for re-
sumption is not part of the circulating medium,
and can.Only become so by the redemption OF so
many greenbackS; but the people do not want
the gold. hence the greenbackS remain outstand-
ing. 1t is well the gold should remain in the
Treasury; 1t is more convenient to circulate notes
and more economical as saving the abrasion to
which the coin is subject. But the two hun
dred millions of gold or whatever the amount
held by the Treasury Is, might be represented
by that amount of gold certificates payable on
demand and be substituted for that amount
of legal tender notes The remaining 146 million
of legal tenders could not possibly be reached
until by allowing the surplus revenue of the
government to accumulate in gold further
issue of gold certificates would eventually pro-
vide for them.
There could be no better currency than that
afforded by one based as this would be on the
deposit OF coin, and 1t would be practically lin
tied only by the ability of the Government to
acquire coin or the desire OF the people to place
its coin in the custody of the Government.
In the event Of an adverse balance of trade,
to which we must look forward as among the
probabilities Of the future, the presentation of
the coin certificates to obtain coin for export
would soon raise the rates Of interest to point
at which the export would be Improbable, or,
at any rate, have as much effect in that direc-
ton as does now the action of the Banks Of
England and France.
