GOLD AND SILVER STORAGE.

The statement made by the Treasurer
Of the United States to the Clearinghouse
Managers at New York en- Monday APP
pears to have awakened the Eastern bank
ers at last to a vivid realization of the fact
that the gold margin is narrowing, and so
rapidly that all chat has been prophesied
concerning the change Of base of values
must soon come to pass, unless the dealers
in gold relax their grasp upon it. This
they now manifest an inclination TO do If
the bankers are sincere in their declaration
that the standard must be one of gold
value, they cannot longer afford to persist
in policy that Will soon drive the Treas
urer to the payment of silver exclusively.
The question is very simple, SO far rs the
Government is concerned; it receives
very little gold, and is expected to pay
much gold. That kind of a process has a
speedy ending, Of course and when it
comes, silver instead of gold will be put
out, but it is not likely 10 affect the bread
winners of the country materially or at all
The attempt of the New York bankers is
to force gold to premium. They desire
to hoard gold and have the Government
hoard silver and thus discredit the latter
and enhance the former That would result
in straitened condition of affairs in which
gold would command a high premium.
If, however, the Treasury enters upon
the payment Of silver, the corner on gold
viii he jeopardized. in view Of this evi-
dent fact, the bankers propose to let the
merchants have sufficient gold to pay their
duties, in The hope that the storage Of sill
yer will continue until Congress meets,
when an effort viii he made to throttle the
demand that the coinage of silver cease, or
be very materially reduced in It's minimum

INDIFFERENCE OF THE CHINESE.

The Chinese Consul said to a reporter
yesterday morning that the effect of any
Chinese legislation of the United States on
the position of Americans and American
interests in China had been not worth con-
sidering in any direction; that the total
result Of Chinese immigration to this coun-
Try in the last thirty five years only
amounted to $4,000. Resident Cinnamon
regard American legislation as dictated by
political exigencies, and not by any wide
spread objection to the Chinese themselves.
The Chinese Government is without fault
in carrying out the provisions of the Re
striction Treaty, If the United States de
sire to eflectually stop the Chinese coming
here they should negotiate to that end with
