The Gold Standard and Low Prices,

To those who are inclined to dispute
the position we have long maintained,
that the prevailing low prices of COM
modities and the consequent dulness oi
trade are caused by our slavish adher-
ence to the gold standard, we commend
the subjoined extract from an address
recently delivered before the Manchest
er Chambers Of Commerce by the Right
Hon. j. G. Goschen, member of Parlia-
ment, and the holder of numerous Of
fetal posts during Mr.. Gladstone's ad-
ministration. Mr.. Goschen's topic was
'The Condition and Prospects of
Trade" and after thoroughly review
ing the subject in other aspects he
went on as follows:
II come to the question of the appre-
citation of gold. Upon that I have
spoken at length fully before, and I am
bound to say that have nothing to
to take back from what have said.
The case seems to me to be in nut
shell. There is an immense diminua-
is greater strain upon gold through
the discarding of silver in very import.
ant countries, and therefore, if prices
are at all determined by the produc-
tion of gold On one side ana of cOmmo-
dities on the other, the disturbance
between the proportion must have had
its effect upon prices. You have the
decreased production in gold. you have
the increased production of comnodi-
ties, and you have the fall in brices
which those two factors ought to pro-
duce. 1t ought to have produced It,,
and the fall is there; but somehow or
other there are many persons who are
furiously angry if people contend that
there is any relation between the cause
and the effect. What those who do
not believe in any appreciation of gold
always point to is this. that the dimin-
ished production of gold is small in re-
lation to the aggregate stock of gold.
But, on the other hand. let me point to
this: let me point to the enormous in
crease of the commodities which have
to be exchanged for that gold. The
gold is diminished, but not i'm proper
ton to the same volume of commodities,
but almost to double or treble volume
of commodities. OF course the effect
has been immensely reduced by the
fact of the development of the credit
system, which has been refined to the
very utmost, and 1 do not contend for
one moment that the fall in prices is
exclusively due to the increased appre-
citation of gold; but do maintain that
it is factor in the case, aud it is above
all important from this point of view,
that if there is anything in it, it points
to this-that the standard of prices
generally ls likely to be lower in the
future, and that it would be wise to
discard the idea of the return to the old
prices.n
Coming. as this utterance does, close
upon the elaborate article to the same
effect by Mr.. GifeB in the COntenapo-
raru Review, those of our American
financiers who are determined to MAIN
tain gold payments at all hazards will
do well to consider carefully what they
are about.-N. Y. Sun.

The Two Sites.

The majority of the inspectors have
seen fit to locate the new Penitentiary
| at Kansas City and to set aside the
previous location at Cape Girardean ,on
the Mississippi River. In view of the
fact tlat great deal of money will be
expended bout this institution, it will
not be uninterestiDg to the Taxpayers
of the State to know some of the ad.
vantages between these two locations
In examining this matter we find that
the 10000 appropriated for site will
buy about twenty acres of ground at
81 900 an acre, and this is low esti-
mate near Kansas City, but would
have bought at least 200 acres near
Cape Girardeau. In other words, a
farm large enough to raise all the agri-
cultural products needed to feed the
convicts could have been provided for
the $4,000 near Cape Girardeau, and
thus at least $4,000 to SIS, 900 saved
the institution will have to be located
about two miles from the Missouri
River, and the water needed will have
to be brought from the Kansas City
Water Works forever, while at Cape
Girardeau the prison would have front
ed on the river and would have suppli-
ed itself with water at q small expense.
On the site at Kansas City, if the site
most eligible is selected, not stone can
be quarried, and the necessary stone
must be brought from the State of
Kansas or somewhere in Missouri, at
cost of So per car. At-Cape Girardeau
all the stone to build the prison was
found on the ground. No one has in a
reliable way declared himself ready to
employ convict labor at Kansas City,
but at Cape Girardeau the employment
of all surplus convicts was guaranteed
by bond in the sum of $15O,000, and
it.was agreed that the highest pri =
now paid for convict labor at Jeffes i
City should be paid. AT Ka,aaa9 3

Cape Girardeau the building of the |
sewer would have been a trifling ex-

rial will be found on the site upon
which to employ the convicts in case
the contract system is abolished. At Il

procured that would have given en-
ployment to the convicts. In short, |
the situation at Kansas City will be |
dependent altogether on material to be |
imported from elsewhere. aIl.ls ill

The Mineral Products of the United
States.

The second report on "The Mineral
Resources of the United States," by
Albert Williams, Jr., Chief of the
Division of Mining Statistics and Tech
nology, United States Geological Sur
vey, is now i'm press and will be issued
shortly. This report is for the calen-
dar years 1883 and 1884, and contains
detailed statistics for these periods, and
also for preceding years, together with
much descriptive and technical mat
ter. The following are the totals of
the production of the more important
mineral substances in 1884:
Coal.-The enly statistics i'll which
the trade is interested are those relat-
ing to the amount of coal which is
mined for and reaches the market.
There is besides local and colliery
consumption which is usually disre-
garded in statistics, and which ranges
from to 6 1-2 per cent. of the total
shipments. Including the local con-
SUMPTION, ETC., the total product In
1884 may be stated at LOG. 900, ,295 long
tons; namely, 1910, 756 long tons Of
Pennsylvania anthracite and 73, 73O,-
$50 long tons of bituminous and all
other GOALS; and the value at the mines
was: Pennsylvania anthracite, $685.
351 512; bituminous and all other Goals,
S77,417 ,O66, total, $143, 3,76S, ,57S. The
total production (that is, including col
Iiery and local consumption) of anthra-
cite was 1,16O.713 long tons less than
in 1888, while its value was $40, ,905, ,543
less, the disproportiOnate decline in
value being due to fall of 25 cents per
ton in spot price (S2.25 to $2). The
total bituminous coal production in
creased s. .199. .039 long tons over that of
1883; but its value was $4,S2O,734 less,
the average valuation at the collieries
having fallen from 81. 30 to $1.05. The
total output of all Goals showed a net
gain in tonnage of 4, OBS, ,326 long tons
and decline in value of SIS, ,726, ,277.
Coke. There were 4,s73, ,S05 short
tons of coke made in 1884, worth ST.
242, ,S7S at the ovens. This production
consumed 1851 ,974 short tons of coal.
The amount of coke made was $50, ,9l6
tons less than in 1883, and the value
was $S7S, ,729 less.
Natural Gas.-The estimated value
of the natural gas used in the United
States in 1854 was ST. AGO 900. as against
S475 900 in 1888. The value is COM
puted from that of the coal superseded
by natural gas.
Iron.-The principal statistics for
1884 are as follows: Iron ore mined,
5. 200. 900 long tons; value at mine, $22,-
$50. 900. Domestic iron ore consumed,
IT'S, 129 long tons; value at mine, S21,-
224, ,s54. Imported iron ore consumed,
4s7, $50 long tons; total iron ore con-
sumed, s,125, $40 long tons. Pig iron
made, 4,097, 1858 long tons, a decrease of
497 $40 tons as compared with 1888;
value at furnace. 73.761 .624, or S1S,-

The Chicago News SAYS:

''The evidences of sound and healthy
business revival are multiplying on every
hand, not alone in this country, but abroad.
In England the iron industry, which has been
almost paralyzed, is aroused to a state of
activity to which it has been long stranger;
men are working on full time, many furnaces
are relit which have been idle for months, and
it is confidently believed that the decided inn
provement which already marks many lines
of trade is the beginning of another era of
general prosperity. Our neighboring domin-
ion of Canada shares in the improvement, and
shrewd observer notes that it was not the
late Wall street boom in stocks which is now
dotting the Canadian rivers with logs where
there was scarcely one to be seen on the
streams year ago, while the mills are again
becoming active after lethargy of nearly
eighteen months"

Never mind about "the restoration of the

sition of the Democratic. Let us stick to the
text. Senator Sherman has been courageous
enough to denounce the continued sup
preston of votes in the South. The question
is, shall the murderous old South continue in

voter, in the Electoral College and for con-
gressional representation, in defiance of justice
and in violation of the Constitution That is
