SrocKs.-The aspect of affairs abroad
which was disturbed by the Mitleyne af-
fair were looking better this morning, and
London, which yesterday was seller OF
all kinds Of securities, became buyer to-
day, and to that extent improved the feel
ing here with the temper Of the stock mar
ket. The feeling in the street was OF more
pronounced bullish character than for some
time. The new buying was very apparent
and purchases for the long account be-
came more numerous as the morning wore
away, winch started the Sn0rtS INTO cover
before prices had got too far away from
them. The result was that an upward
movement began which lasted, with but
few and unimportant interruptions,
throughout the day. The market closed
active and strong at the highest prices OF

CASTING ITS SHADOW.


The Chicago Tribune publishes long edi-
tcrial having reference to the project Of
Senator Stanford, which proposes that the
Government shall loan money to private
individuals who can give security on per
manent property for Ter cent per annum.
According to the Tribune, the project has
now grown to such proportions that Mr..
Stanford proposes to have money loaned by
the Government on second mortgages. 1t is
possible Mr. SIanford's views have been mis-
represented, but we think not, for the last
proposition is like that which the Govern
iiaeDt has bessn
the railroad company of which Eic wac %
long President The railroads are held only
on a second mortgage. and now the company
desires to have tie Gebt extended for eighty
or one hundred years at per cent per an
nun. If the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany is to pay but per cent for loan
which constructed the entire work, why
should not individuals have rs favorable an
opportunity to enrich themselves by obtain
ing money at , per cent? This proposition
OF Mt. Stanford is one which requires some
little attention, for may not the gentleman
who has made his tens of millions through
Government assistance think it would be
great idea to try and 20 step further? No
doubt men who hold i've, ten or twenty thou
sand acres of land would be pleased to obtain
money al , per cent per annum thereon, but
is it an o5j~ct for the public TO aid such a
project because Senator Stanford favors it /?
Asain, If 4 railroad company is able to con-
troll State Legislature and induce it to favor
such project, or to elect any person to
Office it may desire, is it too much to assume
shat the benefeiaries of such law would be
few folders Of large tracts of land and
railroad corporations? 1t strikes us that
such project as that advocated by Mr..
Stanford. if enacted into law, would inure
almost nirely to the benefit OF railroads.
Does any one, for instance suppose that Mr..
Stanford, who can control an entire Legis!a-
ture, will be too MODESTO ask the Government
for 2-per-cent loan on his railroad
property. or that he would refuse a
loan on MS thousands of acres of
land, including his vineyards in the
Sacramento Valley? The loan project must
be calculated in the interest of those per-
sons who own the railroads and wish to
monopolize all such property in the United
States which is worth owning. What else
can 1t possibly be? Can any person be so
short-sighted as not to realize that men who
can control Legislatures would manage
the 2-per-cent Government loan machinery
II it we're enacted into law for their own
benefit? The history of the owners of rail-
roads IN the United States surely does not
indicate such iiberality on their part as to
prove that they would not profit from any
opportunity offered which would enable them
to Cypress the public.
The morning call., 1891-01-30

works of four mills each were now being
erected and in few months would be max
ing tin plates. The trade would grow, but
slowly, and 1t would probably be ten, TWEEN
ty, or even thirty years before Americans
would make all they would need. Mr..
Rogers spoke with the interest of his people
and his company in view. He admitted
that the Americans had great natural adyan-
tages in the manufacture of tin plates, but
thought the industry would develop slowly
unless the old country should provide Amer
lean manufacturers with experienced labor.
Mr.. Rogers was not exactly accurate IN MS
representation of the progress that has Deen
made in the establishment OF tin plate WORKS
in this country, and his conclusion that IL
may take thirty years 10 reach the point AZ
which we can manufacture all we need Is
based upon the knowledge he formed OF the
progress already made. lin plate is
already being manufactured in this country,
and preparations for new enterprises are
more extensive than he seems to nave an
idea Of 1t is true that Immediately alter
the election general disposition was mani
tested to abandon enterprises already pro-
jected. But after careful survey OF the
field more hopeful view of the situation
was taken. The present tariff is pretty
istration, and there was reasonable eX-
pectation that the apparent verdict OF last
November would be reversed when the
issue should be made squarely in Presi-
Dental year Results would be apparent by
that time. The scare of high prices would
be sifted and shown to be without solid
foundation. The report OF Mr.. Rogers
speech which appeared in the Welsh papers
shows that his audiences were in profound
sympathy with the free-trade party in the
United States When he said that the No
vember election demonstrated that the
people of the United States were not in favor
of the Mckinley bill he was interrupted
with stormy applause. The people he adj
dressed were likewise opposed to the
Mckinley bill. They preferred to have the
tin plate industry continued il Wales. The
harmony, between American free-traderS
and British manufacturers seems to be COM

WILLIAM WINDOW.

The unexpected death of Secretary Win
dom removes one whose abilities as fnan-
cier were impressed upon two admlnistra-
tions-that of President Garfield and of
President Harrison. His efforts to relieve
the late financial stringeney caused his
views and plans TO be extensively discussed.
A fact that will long remain impressed upon
the page Of time was his expenditure of
$3.50. T99C91 from March 4, 1882 to October
/, 1890, for the redemption and purchase of
Government bends. He believed there
were many grave objections to the accumu-
lation of large surplus in the Treasury.
and especially to the power which the con-
troll of such surplus gave to the Secretary.
In his first annual report under the present
administration he submitted a plan for the
utilization of the silver product of this coun-
try. Briefly stated it recommended the
purchase, at the market price, of the silver
bullion product of our mines and smelters,
and the issuance in payment therefor of
legal tender notes, redeemable in a
quantity Of silver bullion equivalent in
value at the date of presentation to the face
of the notes, or in gold, at the option of the
Government. or in silver dollars at the
option of the holder. Another idea he
entertained was one to obyiate what he
considered the gravest defect IN our present
financial system, its lack Of elasticity"
This, he believed, could be accomplished by
the issue of new coupon bonds bearing 2
per cent interest, in large and small denomi-
nations, to reach all classes OF the people
who have unemployed Ill oney on hand.
These bonds, if issued up to a limit to meet
the demand for them and always redeem
able at par in lawful money at any Sub
Treasury, wou!d, he believed, solve the
problem of an elastic currency. His plan,
however. was not wholly Endorsed by our
national legislators, the Senate dropping it
when passing Free Coinage Bill.

HE rs COMPETENT.
Sherwood Callaghan Does Not
Need a Guardian.

The proceedings instituted in the Probate
Court by Bertha w. Callaghan, through an
agent. to be appointed guardian of her nus
band, Sherwood Callaghan, on the ground
that he was incompetent to manage his
property, were dismissed by stipulation yes
terday.
In her petition Mrs. Callaghan averred
that her husband was an incompetent person
by reason of his indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors. Since then he has ceased the prac
tice, and it is now admitted that he is per
ieetly competent To manage his estate.
Nhen the matter came up before Judge
Coifey Yesterday, Charles f. Hanlon, at
torney for the respondent, flied an interest,"
ing deposition. In 1t, Callaghan recited
that with his wife he bad lived in London
for several years past. Some mon tbs aga he
departed for California and his wife accom-
panied him as far as Wilmington, England
where they parted on the best of terms
Prior to his departure he had settled his
wife and children in comfortable manner
and spent over $4,000 in furnishing the house.
His agent was given full charge OF providing
for the rental and rates of the homestead
In addition to that he gave her an ample
sum of money to spend as she wished.
On coming to this city Callaghan admits
that he drank little too freely Tor a time
but he was greatly surprised at receiving
copy OF a petition to declare him mentally
incompetent. He declared. however that
he has always well managed his property.
and better than any other member of his
family could do. lie further stated that
Frank Washington, who acted as the agent
OF Mrs. Callaghan. had not been authorized
to the extent OF beginning proceedings to
declare him mentally incompetent, or to
take his property away from him and put it
In the hands Of guardian.

AMERICAN SILVER.

Mir. Blaine is reported as indorsiGg
proposition TO make common cause with all
other American countries in respect to silver
legislation. The long and short of the propo-
sition is thai the American continent pro-
poses to proceed in silver legislation with
oat eoDsutat on with European commercial
countries. Mr.. Blaine thinks that urit of
saiue may be established by common action
among American countries which Europe
VIII eventually be compelled to recognize.
The outline of the plan is the purchase of
American silver without regard to nation
ality and the conversion of il into money on
some ratio to gold that may be agreed upon.
The purpose, of course, is to have a silver
dollar which will be legal tender in all
countries included in the compact The es-
adjustment OF common dollar for all
American countries must certainly facili-
tate trade among tie countries. AT present
the Mexican or South American merchant
buying goods in Europe must purchase gold
to settle balances with. Mexican and South
American exports to Europe are reduced in
price TO their gold valuation. In the event
OF The establishment of an American unit of
yaf1e this condition would hold in trade
with Europe, but not with the United
States. Their money would be good at its
lace value in our market and our money in
their market
