MORE GOLD COMING OVER
ENGLAND AND FRANCE SURE TO
TRY TO STOP IT.

The Head of the Comm srcIal Depart-
mont of the British Board of Trade
Declares the Amount that Is to Come
Overestimated-AS Silver Crisis Pre-.
dictsd.
LONDON, Sept. ga representative of
the Associated Press has had interviews
with the Rothschilds, Spsyers, Lazarg Bros.
and other bankers, and they all agree in
their statements that further large ship
ments of gold are going to America. The
Rothschilds dispatched an additional al0O,-
600 to-day. The chief clerk of the house
said that it was uncertain whether
France would make the bulk Of the exports
or whether the burden would fall on
England. But considering the fact that
France has worse harvest than England
it would seem that she should send the bulk
Of the gold. The Bank of France may.
however, as on former occasions, obstruct
exports by raising the premium on full
weight coin.
THE AMOUNT TO COME BACK.
In an interview with Robert GifFen, the
head of the commercial department and
controller OF the ooin returns of the British
DOdTu OF lraQe, ne was asked what truth
there was in the calculation that England
and the continent would be forced TO part
with gold amounting to 9G0, 200, 900 to pay
for imports ct American grain. Mr.. Gitfen
ridiculed the estimate. He said that before
10000, 900 was sent to America the Bank
OF England and the Bank OF France
would both raise their rates Of discount and
check the drain. According to Mr.. Giffen,
not bullion but securities and exports
would go to America to pay for grain.
Undoubtedly, he said, there would be a
heavy drain of gold for several months to
come, but the payments for grain were not
the sole cause Of such drain.
THE SILVER QUESTION A FACTOR.
An important factor iii the financial
situation was the silver question. Stable
American houses, he declared, we're making
preparations to face "A silver crisis, which is
now inevitable, by making gold purchases
IN Europe. When asked If such crisis was
inevitable, Mr.. Giffen said: TN my opinion
1t is impossible TO avert it The United
States has become overloaded with paper
currency. The issue of silver certificates
to the amount Of $4,000, 600 sterling annu-
ally was gross legislative mistake, and is
bound to bring a crash speedily"
In response to an inquiry as to how soon
the crash he predicted could be looked for.
Mr.. GifPen said: February will probably
realize the worst of the position. 1 do not
see how grave trouble can be averted by
remedial legislation. There is hardly time
to avert it, even IL the two parties in con-
gresS could agree upon q neans ~

SPRINGFIELD, O.. Sept. 23.-A grand ova-

For speaker OF the House Of Representa-
tives, Hon. Roger @. Mills" Hon. John L.
Zimmerman presided over the meeting
Mr. Mills was so hoarse from mis- continued
speaking in the last few days that for a
short time it was almost impossible to hear
him. Mr.. Mills almost entirely ignored the
free silver question.
MADE THE TARIFF THE ISSUE.
He. however, gave free silver a blow by
saying there is but one issue before the peo-
pie, ''the question of taxation.n He sale
last years .importatlons amounted to
S4S0,Q00,000, and the duty on the same
amounted TO 1920, ,000.0 900, making a total
cost to Americans of 500, 000, 900, thus show
ing that the consumer paid this tax" He
asserted that high tariff made low wages
and low tariff visa versa; that the tariff
throttled agriculture and was sowing the
seeds of monarchy. He said the poverty of
the republican argument was shown in
their efforts TO lower the price of sugar by
taking the tax off and lowering the price CT
tin by putting it on. II look for the mil

of the United States are thrown
