THE FIN1NCTAL DEBATE.

The debate ON Senator Shcrmans rcfunding
bill has ranged over almost every conceivable
branch of the financial discussion, but has
brought to light nothing new. The Senate has
been thrcShng last years straw Democratic
Senators have made manifest their mspcak-
able indignation because Secretary Window
contrived to avoid the bankruptcy prepared
for the Treasury by Democratic Congress.
. But the temper of Democratic newspapers had
already disclosed that feeling. A few able
and conscientious men, who cannot perceive
the need of being regulators in order to be
Democrats in good standing, have intelligenuy
defended the course 10y which a Republican
Secretary of the Treasury saved many millions
for the country, but it is not a new thing to
find them on the side OF public honesty, and
opposed to the great majority of their party
associates. a very few Republicans whose right
TO bear that name might be adyantageously in
vostigated Ivy their constituents, have voted
with the majority of Democrats. But it was
not unexpected that they would behave lust
as they have behaved. The country has
gained no useful information by the debate.
1t knows that Tue majority against Reputation
i'm the Senate is quite slender, but it knew that
before.
Mr.. Vests amendment was not the only one
that was calculated to destroy the public
credit. His chronic hatred Of the banks, and
his belief that the popnlace will sustain the
Democratic party in making war upon corpO-
rations, did not enable him to command the
support of all his party associates for the
measure which he proposed. Mr.. Plumb, in
fact, was more successful in leading the Dem
ocratic party than any Democrat, and his pro-
posed amendment was rather more dagranHy
bad than Mr. Vests. Indeed, it was SO bad
that Senator Sherman was compelled to say
that he would abandon his bill, and vote

ExroRrs OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTS.
FOREIGN IMPORTS.
al. S22s. COG Pol S2Ol ,73G.0l3 $2G,sG0, 81,

In these four months the change against this
country has been over SS,OOO,OOO More
over, it will be observed that there has been
a progressive decrease in exports and a pro-
gressive increase in imports, so that the last
month Of the four showed greater change to
the disadvantage of this country than any
other.
This statement abundantly explains the ex-
port of gold. There is still an excess of ex
ports over imports of merchandise, it is true.
But the difference arising from the valuation
of imports in foreign ports, whereas exports
are valued here, the cost of transportation and
insurance, the profits Of importers, and the
interest on American securities held in Europe,
undoubtedly exceed the sum of $40, 100000
for four months, so that this country has be-
gun to incur new debts abroad The move
mcnt of securities also, which helped to bring
money to this country during the greater part
Of the last three years, has been in the OppO-
site direction since early last fall. Opinions
differ widely as to the amount OF American
securities that have been sold here on foreign
account since last August, but it is ndOubt-
cdy large. The murder Of the President, the
railroad war. the short crops, and the decline
of prices here have all tended to cause real
izations by foreign holders of stocks and
bonds.
The specie movement in the year 1881 was
much less favorable to this country than in
1850 or 1879. The net imports of gold in
1881 amounted to $57,795O77, against
$50, SO, 739 in the previous year For all mon
etary PURPOSES silver may be treated as an ar
ticle of merchandise. In 1850, the excess of
exports over imports of silver was 81, 1899, OS3,
and in 1851 it was $S,4G7,G29. The natural
inference is that the channels Of circulation
have become filled rs far they well can be
with silver so that il is forced to find foreign
purchasers. According to the report of Wells,
Fargo ~ Co., the production of silver i'll 1881
was 50, 9s7G13, of which 1t appears from
the official returns that IS, 467,G2 went
abroad. The purchases for coinage took about
$27000000 from the market and about
$4,000 900 was used in the arts and manu-
features, 50 that the stock of silver not taken

MR. pOTTEPS BUILDING METHODS.

Mr.. O. b. Potter's unfinished building, at
Astor-place and Broadway, is described In orr
news columns. 1t has stronger cross-wail
than the one in the former "World Build
ing" but if he had been allowed to have
his own way it would not have run from the
ground to the top, but would have stopped at
the first floor. The Building Bureau very
properly refused to grant permission to
have this change made The building has the
advantage of having five instead of four
solid supports. so that in case of fire there Will
be less danger from the falling of the walls.
Above the foundations there will be seven or
binary floors supported by wooden girders and
columns and the cross-wall, the wooden beams
entering the side walls four inches and not
resting on brick or stone corbelling. Between
the floors there will undoubtedly be net
work of light stud and lath partitions. Be-
tween the roof and the cellar there will be as
great a mass of cOmbustibe material as
there was in the former "World Building"
The arrangement of the stairways is safer
i'm the new than it was in the old building,
but it is probable that the stairs will be en-
tirely of wood. The specifications do not call
for either plaster or slate in the roof. 1t IS
TO be probably an ordinary tin roof.
Now we wish to deal fairly with Mr.. Potter.
If we miscOnstrue his building plans we shall
be glad TO have him correct us. But APP
parently he is again. neglecting certain
precautions which should have been
taken when the former World Build
ing" was erected twenty-five years ago.
If the beams were. of iron and sup
ported arches of concrete underneath the
surface floors, and if the partitions were
slabs of concrete as fre-pro0f as brick,
there would be the certainty of retard-
ing the progress of the flames, and
the strongest probability of confining them to
the floor where they might originate. II the
floors were more securely built there would be
less likelihood of their falling in and pushing
out the side supports and thus creating
an unmanagcable bonfire. Mr.. Potter will
discam of course, building a structure that
will fash into flame from cellar to roof within
ten minutes, and tumble to pieces within half
an hour But as that was the fate Of the
building now in runs, he cannot complain if
the public subjects his architectural processes
in future to rigid scrutiny.
