The i:Onry Market.

Dradstree,'s for the week ending
December 26, says:
"lhe only change in the condition
of the New York loan market for the
past week is that the more active con-
dition Of speculation creates a better
demand for call money, and that rates
on the Stock Exchange for bankers
balances varied a little, somewhat
hia her figures being touched. At the
same time the range was between
23@4 per cent, and renewals are
generally made at per cent. The
steady accumulation of funds here is
displayed in the marked ease of
time loans and the largo volume
of money offered against very
limited demand. The result is
that quoted rates have declined
further, while borrowers display
marked independence. On mixed
collateral the current rates are 35@4
per cent. for thirty to ninety days, and
4@49 per cent. for four to six months.
The demand for mercantile papers
continue to be larger than the supply.

American Bacon.

Klore's Berlin Trade Review.l
With regard to the American bacon
trade the latest report comes from
Rotterdam that much American ba-
con has been imported to Germany
through Rotterdam. Great satisfac
ton has been, therefore, expressed at
the raising of the prohibition by the
German government. AT first it was
feared that the view of the govern
ment was that the German officials
alone would be allowed to superin.
tend the carrying out Of the sanitary
rules prescribed. The North Packing
and Provision Company, in Boston,
do not allow their bacon to be in.
spected by Germans but by American
officials, and their testimony is con
sidered as sufficient by the German
consul. The bacon is, therefore, sent
to the Rotterdam agents along with
the necessary papers, and from thence.
after the chief inspector in Emmerich
has granted his permission, it is ex,
ported to Germany in large quantities
every day.

The history and exact methods OF
the conduct. of the business of the
Louisiana Lottery Company have, we
believe, never been explained in brief
compass until the January number of
The Forum presented the complete
history of the company by one Of the
founders of the Anti. Lottery League
and the editor of the anti.
lottery organ of New Orleans.
From this narrative it appears that
the Lottery Company was organized
by charter given by the Reconstruc.
ton Legislature Of the State, and the
successive stages OF its growth are all
explained up to the time when it has
now put ticket Of its own in the
field with. the hope of renewing its
charter for another IS years. The
total amount of money taken in by the
Lottery per annum if all its tickets
are sold is $2S, 100000, and the lars-
est possible amount that can be drawn
by the holders of the tickets is a little
more than sl4 100000; so that the
Lottery puts into its own coffer about
~ per cent. of all the money that it
receives, and this sum in years when
the sale of its tickets is good amounts
to $13, 100000 or more.

''The shrewd speculator will, on the
Instant increase his price and protect
himself; the storekeeper will mark up
his goods; land will nominally advance;
but the poor man, who must work to

an advance in his wages. Extract
from John Sherman's Speech at Pauld-

The above refers to what will happen
in the event of the free coinage of sill

foundation in fact The truth is, an
increase in the money volume carries
prosperity to the home of the working
man. When there is not q dollar of
gold in circulation, in 1866, when the
business of the country was done ex-
clusively with paper money, the laborer
was permitted to dip his cup deep and
oft into the spring of prosperity. "Huts
became palaces" 1.-THE laborer, for
the first time in, the history of the
world, tasted of the luxuries of life. >,

proposed free coinage of silver, is fraud

ulent They don't care a cent for the
workingman when his and the fund
holders interests conflict. Their fight
against more money is in the interest
of the money power at home and
abroad. They would take and have
taken the laborer by the throat and
made him deliver to the plutocracy
that which belongs to him and his
family. They have laid the iron hand
of their systems upon the tiller of the
soil and made a slave of him. They,
with their systems, have arrested the
business man in his successful pursuit
of prosperity and driven him into com
bines and trusts or into bankruptcy.
We have no patience with Sherman, no
confidence in him. He stealthily de.
monetized silver, and it was his inten.
ton to retire and burn up the green.
backs. He fought the law of 1878,
which provided against the destruction
of the greenbacks, and the act of the
same year partially remonetizing sill.

In this statement, Mr. Foster, though
using no words that do not appear in
the bill itself, is guilty of fragrant
falsehood; to prove which we have
only to refer to the records, as re.
form journals have the habit of doing.
with serious effect upon the reputation
of public servants.
Section 2 of the bill in question pro.
vides: "And such treasury notes shall
be legal tender for all debts, public
and private. except where otherwise
expressly stipulated in the contract"
That exception, like the exception on
the greenback, was put there for the
benefit Of the gold Spectator. Nearly
all the money loaning institutions OF
the country have accepted the invita-,
ton of congress, and are to-day ex
pressly specifying on all their contracts
(notes and mortgages) against these
notes. Instead, therefore, of being a
step toward the Observation-Disclosures
of the people from the gold specula.
tors, the ultimate effect Of the bill will
be. to rivet their chains still tighter.
There is no way by which the most OF
this money can reach the people except
through loans. The notes given to Sc.
cure these loans will demand gold coin.
The borrower, who must have money,
will not be in q condition to refuse,
even when he realizes the trap into
which he is walking.
There can be no hope of the supreme
court declaring such contracts void, be-
cause against public policy, for the
government itself has beforehand pro-
vided for and sanctioned such discrim.
