The shipment of over 81 ,000. 900 in
gold to Europe last week, in consider
alton of the condition of our currency.
is a matter that ought to command
earnest attention. The export of that
amount merely is not especially inn
portant, but the fact that it promises
to be the forerunner of a movement of
some magnitude clothes it with much
significance. Our exports of produce
have fallen off, either in consequence
of low prices and the competition of
other sources of European supply, or
because OF speculative holdings here,
and foreign capitalists are investing to
n less extent than usual in our securi-
ties Our imports have declined also,
but not sufficiently to offset the de-
crease in exports, and the consequence
is that what is called the balance of
trade is setting against us. How long
1t will continue is question, but as
long as it does continue there will be
a drain upon our gold supply, for with
gold alone can foreign obligations be
paid.
The balance of trade has been long
time in our favor, and, as Il result, we
have a large accumulation of gold in
the country, and would be prepared to
spare a considerable amount of il with
out Inconvenience were it not for the
peculiar shape our currency is in. No
nation can expect to have the balance
always in its favor. There must be
waves of ingress and egrcss to pre-
serve the general commercial equili-
brium. And in this connection it will
be profitable for the uniformed to ex-
anime the history of our foreign trade.

Echoes of the Great Storm.

In Heard county, Ala, logs were
whirled into the air and broken before
they reached the ground.
At Leeds, Ala, the tornado de-
posted near the railroad woodwork
had ever seen before.
Three horses belonging to DR.. Thos
Wright, near Birmingham, Ala, were
lifted into the air, and have not been
seen or heard from since.
A house near Birmingham Ala, in
which two negroes were lying sick,
was picked up by the wind and landed
fifty yards away. Neither of the men
was injured.
A bale of cotton was blown half a
mile away from Goshen, Ala. A church
was destroyed and large portion of it
was found on the top of mountain,
three-quarters of mile away.
Near Midway, S. c., Martin MingO,
colorcd preacher, was lifted from his
bed by the wind and deposited in a
valley 800 yards away, with but slight
bruises. His house was blown to
pieces.

At Rockport, Ind, party of twelve,
who had been across the river to at

None of them was killed,

plenty of other gold i'm the country,
but the holders prefer to cling to it,
and they will do SO as long as the coin
for export can be obtained by the sim
pie process of passing greenbacks over
the counters of the treasury depart
ment. But how long can the govern
ment stand a drain of this naturep it
might secure gold enough to redeem
all the greenbacks once, but the law
compels it to reissue them as fast as
they come in, SO that they may be pre-
sented in endless repetition. 1t is only
II question of how much gold may be
wanted for export, or how apprehen-
sive the beople are that we shall be re-
duced to a silver basis that gauges the
governments ability to sustain gold
payments. There is no limit to the
capacity of. outsiders to pump it out of
! the treasury if there is any there and
| the government refrains from redeem
ing in silver. And when the govern
mcnt does redeem in silver which is
useless for export, the premium on
gold and n depreciation of the stand
ard begins. 1t only needs the coinage
of enough silver to insure the payment
of nothing else into the government
Golfers, and the treasury left without
gold unless it goes on the market and
buys it,
There would be nothing to dread in
the drain of gold if our currency were
homogeneous in value. The law of
supply and demand in the business
world would regulate the location of
gold properly. But, rs it is, the par
ticularly vulnerable state of the treas
ury and the growing disposition on
the part of banks and individuals to
hoard gold and leave nothing but pa
per and silver in sight-calls for action
to restore confidence if nothing else.
And very simple act would be suii-
cient. The mere suspension of the sill
yer coinage would put a new backbone
in the currency and change the whole
situation. There is not enough silver
coined to take the place of gold for
home use, and we can sustain its token
value if the volume is not increased.
A simple stopping of the comparative
" little stream of 1000, 900 n month
would avert the uncertainty which,
among other things, prevents foreign
J investments in our securities, and thus
! tends unduly To increase the gold eX-
} port. The time has come for business
men to look into this matter and de-
mand relief from congress.-N. LOuts

A telegram from Taylorsville, Ga,
to 4he Globe Democrat says: The belled
buzzard, whose flight over western
counties of Georgia has aroused SO
much superstitious fear among ignO-
rant whites and blacks, passed over Il
field where four men were plowing.
One of them. Il negro, quit work at
once and said the bird was Il warning
to the people of another cyclone. in
which hundreds of people would be
killed.
The story of this celebrated bird is
IN interesting one. Nearly two years
ago il was pet in the farm-yard of Il
farmer named Freeman, in Paulding
county. One of his children one day
attached Il sheep bell to the bird foot,
and the tinkling sound SO scared it
that it Immediately flew away. The
first night out it alighted on the roof
of negro cabin in Heard county. One
Of the inmates went out to ascertain
the cause of the bell-ringing, and inn
mediatelv the buZZard rose from its
perch and flew away The night was
clear and cold, and as the inmates
rushed out and beheld the great black
object, and heard the tinkling of the
bell hundreds of feet up in the air,
great fear seized them, and they
all took to their knees under the inn
preston that the end of the world was
approaching Ever since the bird has
pursued its migrations through the
state, arouSing the fears of the super
stitious, who regard its visits as an
omen of evil. The negroes and many
whites, too, along the track of the
late storm, insist that they heard the
fatal bell about an hour before the ter
riblc wrath of wind had come upon
them. In 1917 Il buzzard was similarly
bellcd in Putnam county, and up till
1850, when his presence was last re-
ported in Greene county, he was
youchcd for as having visited points as
far rs West Meridian, Miss, and IN
several northern counties Of Tennessee

1t may be noticed that the balance
of merchandise was steadily against
us from 1850 to 1876, with the cXcep-
tiOn of the years 1893 and 1862. when
it was slightly in our favor Previ-
OuS to 1880 The balance was very gen
orally against us. Since 1876 it has
been strongly in our favor. 1t is to
be remembered that an adverse balance
in the matter of merchandise does not
necessarily mean Il lack of prosperity,
but it does mean that the difference
must be paid for in something, and
usually in money. The record is re-
ferrcd to to show that when an adverse
balance once sets in it is very likely to
continue for some time. The statistics
Of the exports and imports of coin and
bullion need but be referred 10 to
strengthen the light here thrown on
the situation. And supposing that we
are, rs we may be, at the beginning
of a prolonged adverse balance, how
are we situated to meet it?
1t has been frequently remarked, and
with great truth, that our financial
harness, with respect to the currency,
has no brecching. 1t does good ser
vice while we are ON the ascent. but is
worth nothing in descent SO long
as gold is coming into our Golfers
everything seems TO 90 along swim
mingly. but when il goes out a differ
ent state of things prevails. All of our
currency will pay debts that are owing
to us, but only gold will pay those
we owe abroad. And the experience
of last week shows that a large part OF
the export gold comes directly from
| the government vaults. There is

with his bird carefully mutlied up in
u coffee sack, as usual. He waited
until the very best bird in Havana-a
black cock, weighing over five pounds
was pilled.. The owner Of the cock
called cut, WHO will fight mey
Will match my bird against anything

Here you are" said the sailor,
stepping with his bird into the pit.
The whole audience roared, when
they saw that bird. 1t was sorry
looking .speclmeu-smothered in SCOT !;
but the sailor backed it with all the
wages be had received for his voyage
.--something like S100-and had no
uonble in getting bets at big odds.

reached out one Claw, and catching
the black 10y the back, pinned him TO
the ground, as though he had been
nailed there. For minute, he stared
at him, and then with the other claw,
tore the blacks head oil, as easily as
you would break cigar in two.
The sailors bird was nothing more
nor less than a bald.eagle, clipped
intothe shape of rooster with u
comb pasted on his bald head and
some cocks feathers suck into his
wings and tail. A bath in SCOT fin
ished the disguise, and the Cubans
paid their debts without finding out
about the fraud.

PRINCIPLES AND PERSONS.

A purity Is but the Capitalization OF
principle, and the candidate simply
represents that principle. A great
deal has been and will be said about
personal abuse and personal mag
netism and great deal OF
personal abuse will be mistaken for
argument during the campaign, but
nothing will come Of it. While the
personal magnetism possessed by
Blaine makes his popularity greater,
it will have little comparative effect
on the election; nor will the abuse
heaped on him so freely by his oppo-
nents injure the cause of the Republi.
can party. 1t must be admitted now
that the real issue is protection or
non protection, and the private char
acter of the men who are to conduct
the administration is of little moment.
One party represents protection to
American workmen and American
reputation abroad: the other merely
represents desire for Office under the

party in case of success is what voters
will inquire into now, and the per-

The force at the Jumbo mine in
Coryville is as large as can be con-
veniently worked.

COlOred Emigration.

Mr.. f. NJ. Ownbey, agent for
Messrs. Carr d Hagin, passed
through Reno on the 10th inst. with
two emigrant sleeping cars contain
ing fifty.four colored people from
Tennessee, the first installment of 1900
being brought out by Messrs. Carr
& Hagin under contract to cultivate
cotton near Bakersfield, California.
These people are to receive $l2 per
month for six months, from which
is to be deducted S. per month for
the same period to pay the expenses
of their transportation from Mem
phis, the starting point. Mr.. own
hey informs us that three hundred
more negroes are now ready at
Memphis and will be along about
the LIST prox. Twelve dollars per
month looks like small wages, but
wages in Tennessee are but seven
dollars, so the darkies are getting
their transportation free.
