forward at this season Of the year. It is
the period between hay and grass, as it
were, in our crops.
The wheat and corn crops are far the
most important of any single influence af-
fecting the future OF stocks. Indications
suggest the possibility of the largest wheat
crop on record, estimates varying from 500
to $50 million bushels. These figures should
leave surplus of about one hundred and
eighty to two hundred million bushels for
export. If prices only afford q reasonable
profit to growers, and the shortage in Eu-
rope renders it likely that they will, it is
easy to see the effect of such harvest, not
only upon the interior, but upon the trade,
railroad and financial interests of the whole
country. Europe will have to take our
wheat and pay us in gold. Our securities
will become intrinsicaliy better in the opin-
ion OF both home and foreign holders. In
short, should present hopes concerning the
harvest be realized, it would impart de-
gree OF prosperity such as has not been
seen for several years past. However, il
Will not do TO discount such hopes too rap
idly. The crops are not yet beyond danger.

and act accordingly There viii be nothing
to fear in the foreign situation for some
months to come. July disbursements are
close at hand, and an investment demand
OF some Importance is usually experienced
for stocks during that month. Our opin-
ion regarding the immediate future is hope
full. and favorable to a moderate improve
ment in the business conditions. Comfort
able money, moderate prices for stocks and
good crops are sufficient to counterbalance
all the weak points discoverable at this
time

WE will have the national bank sys-
tenn at least until the bonds are paid
off. Why not allow them to surrender
their notes, and take legal tender in
full for their bonds, and keep their
charters for as long as granted? Even
the national banks might be placed in
a position where they could help out
the people in times of financial strin-
gency. While some Democratic lead
ers oppose them, the party does not in
congress or convention; and if they are
only to remain few years it would
help to timber them up. Senator Coke
started out to do this, but seems to
have received no backing for his bill,
even in the party. The financial ques-
ton will remain uppermost in the
minds of the people until they have
more elastic system. Leading Demo-
Gratis like Hampton and leading Repub-
licans like Ingalls, are falling by the
wayside, and, while the third party
may never amount to much, there will
be wonderful change in leadership.

Silver Is Booming.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, June eff any event could
have stirred up bullish feeling in the
financial community at present it would
seem that the publication of Saturdays
bank statement would have done so, but
prices for the general list of railroad stocks
were lower than Saturdays closing this
morning. Thus the element in Wall street
in favor of higher prices was even more
discouraged than ever this morning, for the
weakness of the position had been shown
up as it had not been before.
Silver was noteworthy feature of the
morning market. 1t advanced to 81. OBJ,
from which point there was decline. II is
needless to repeat the reasons generally as
signed for the movement in silver, but one
thing is to be noticed, shrewd observers be-
lieve that insiders will, for while to come,
be sellers and outsiders the buyers. Re
sellers have been sufficient to induce realiz-

The Lackawana road to-day made eff

The cut was made because the Lackawanna

recognize this demand.

AFTER TWO YEARS.

When Grover Cleveland, Democrat,
went out of Office, and Benjamin Har-
rison, Republican, stepped in and took
charge Of the books, the treasury was
overlooking with millions of money.
The thing that bothered the Democrats
more than anything else was, how to
reduce the surplus. Too much money
was piling up in the treasury to suit
them. They couldn't get rid OF it.
That was little more than two years
ago. The Republicans have solved the
problem that puzzled the Democrats.
The money is gone. The treasury is
bare. A billion-dollar congress did
the work.
There is s23.2S7, 167 of the govern
ment's money deposited in national
banks, but it cannot be drawn out at
this time without great danger of Gre
ating financial disturbance. There
is $50, 119,000 of fractional silver on
hand, but as it is not legal tender for
the payment of sums in excess of $40,
it cannot be counted on in meeting
obligations. Exclusive OF these two
items, there is about Sl,250,00O in the
treasury, with drafts against it of more
than that amount.
Such is the result of two years Of
Republican financiering.

is required.

WITH $4,000 Republican majority
behind him, Mr.. ingalls, thought he
could laugh at and ignore the demands
of the people of Kansas on the tariff
and financial questions. There are
Democratic leaders in Texas not near
so well intrenched who cannot dodge
the issues any better than Ingalls, did.
The people want Democracy well de-
fined in national platforms and issues
squarely met, and are more apt to
change leaders and representatives
and delegates to conventions than they
are to change parties. If the Demo-
cratic press doesn't discuss issues and
present fair statement OF all ques-
tions, the people will supplant them
with other papers, and the same is
true OF individual politicians. The
Democratic masses will not be played
upon by their own or Eastern leaders.
The Democratic party in Texas belongs
to them and they will run it. They in
tend to inaugurate a campaign of edu-
cation and vigor on state and national
issues, and will always be able to find
men in the Democratic party able and
willing to understand their necessities
and to fight for them boldly whether
success follows or not. The Demo
cratic masses are not SO much inter-
ested in the spoils as in the policies Of
government

WHY doesn't the press and the crit
les write in favor of some financial sys-
tenn instead of against the present ma
tional bank system, which is contract
ing all the time and will go when the
bonds are paid off? When these are
abolished by law or circumstances,
some plan must be devised by which
the legal tender can be gotten from the
Udited States treasury into the chan
nels of commerce. Why should not the
combined wisdom of the Democratic
masses be brought to bear in a discus
sion OF the different plans and propO-
sitions? Even the silver question will
have to be discussed, as Mr.. Cleveland
and some other Democratic leaders, in
Guiding Mr.. Carlisle, are opposed to
free coinage.

The Clews Circular.

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Henry Clews' cir
cular says: The most significant event of
the week was the reduction OF the Bank of
England rate of discount from to per
cent. For months past London has been
the objective point of interest, the storm
center, so to speak, of the financial world;
and the clouds of distrust which had
gathered in from all parts of the world
threatened to burst with renewed fury over
those intrepid racers on the sea Of finance
who had been carrying an over-press of sail
in South American waters. The danger sig
nal, however, has been lowered; the out
look is brighter, and now that suspense is
relieved, improvement should naturally fol-
low. Enterprise of all kinds has been held
in check for some time past by fears Of
tight money. Conservatism appeared i'm
perative in manufacturing as well as COM
mercial and financial circles: and no wise
manager cared to incur obligations extend
ing into the fall months, which tight
money market might interfere with. The
result has been wholesome restraint in
all directions; which, though pinching
severely in some quarters, has left general
trade in sounder condition than before in
spite of the common complaints of dizziness.
The reduction of the Bank of England rate
means that the tension in Europe is abat-
ing; that London is prepared for all Russian
demands for gold, and has no immediate APP
prehension about sending gold back to the
United States during the fall months in re-
turn for such grain and other produce as
Europe will be obliged to buy.
CONFIDENT with the removal of fears about
the foreign monetary situation, the home
outlook has also cleared and proves more
assuring. The treasury is expected to meet
all obligations this fall so that uneasiness
on that score is set at rest The Western
bank reserves are larger than usual, and
each year the West grows more independ-
ent of Eastern aid. Then, too, the money
now in circulation in the United States
stands at about 1,504, 000, 900, larger sum
than ever before at this season, and larger
also than at the times of heaviest crop de-
mands. In 1855, the year Of big crops, the
total circulation was 1871 ,000, 900, while
now tho amount in circulation is 1,504, 0O0,-
900; showing of 1873, 00O, 900 in favor OF
this year. Further evidence of confidence
in the future of money is shown by freer
offerings in time money. extending from

Dear Sir-I notice in The GAZETTE sew
eral times lately that Governor Gibbs offers
500 for the best plan for getting lega-
tenders from the treasury into the chan
nels of trade.
Isuggest Gas Democracy is and always
has been opposed to high tarLh
and any and all kinds Of sub
borrowing money upon bonds, lands, pro
duce or anything else; also to nationa-
banks as party, for one man has as much
right to borrow money from the govern
ment on the same security as one dozen
when the twelve are incorporated, for we
take it that natural man has as much ana
as many rights under the law as an arti-
fetal one, or ought to at least
That if the congress Of the
United States government will reduce the
tariff to an average of say 20 per cent ana
make the Injuries of life bear the burden
of that, and not the things that are used ny
the masses of the people, and give US Tree
and unlimited coinage of silver and MAKE
silver good for any and all debts, whether
private or national, and for all dI-
ties, it will then take but
few crops to regulate the circulating me
dunn, for when tine money goes to tae
farmer and don't have to be returned to the
government for duties, nor to the manufact-
urer as an extra profit on his capital as
protection OF the poor laborer, but remains
in the hands Of the masses or people, /,
will soon get into the channels of trade and
remain in them. 1t is an historical
fact that when the farmer has plenty OF
money the entire country prospers, and II
the tariff was reduced, as it should be, the
money will or would stay in circulation spa
could not be contracted, and farming wou-a
be profitable, and the tramp" would s9on

NEW YORK, June 22.-Is President Har-
rison scheming for the support of the free
coinage wing of the Republican partyi Are
Republican prospects SO doubtful that he
feels some concession must be made to the
silver states to hold them in line in '92? Is
he beginning to realize that Senator Teller
of Colorado spoke truly when he told him
twelve months ago that without a free
silver plank in their platform, the Republi-
cans could not carry single Rocky Noun
tain state year hence? 1t looks like it.
Intelligent observers will tell you that
not only are concessions to free-cOinage Re-
publicans being seriously considered, but
that some of them are likely soon to be
made. The plan which has been under dis
cussion at several cabinet meetings and
which will come up again at the meeting
next Friday is the continuation of the COIN
age of standard silver dollars under the
silver act of last summer. The champions
of free coinage have suddenly awakened to
the Importance of having coinage under this
act continued indefinitely. Senator Stewart
Of Nevada has been at the department
strongly urging it, and is supported by his
colleague, Senator Jones, and other prom
lnent Republican advocates of free coinage.
The president and his advisers are dis
posed to yield to the clamOr Of the silver
men for two reasons-one political and the
other financial. The political reason is the
danger of losing the silver states unless
something is done for them. The presi-
dent, who usually has been Indifferent to
the drift of public opinion, has been strongly
impressed by the sentiment in the Western
states which he recently traversed for the
free coinage of silver. He may even hope
to give the scheme of continuing this coin
age the color of patriotic self-sacrifice by
placating the silver people and preventing
new crusade for free coinage. There is not
the slightest probability, however, that any
intelligent silver man will be deceived by
this trick
