About two-thirds of the 100, 600 canary
birds exported annually from Germany
to the United States are imported by
German resident Of this city. At Braun
lage, in the Harz, this man has factory
which is capable OF turning Gus every
day the material for 1000 bird cages. IL
is given out to peasants, who make the
cages at home. The birds are shipped
TO this city via Bremen, accompanied oy
attendants. Each attendant has UNDER
his care about one thousand birds, eaeh
in its own wooden cage. As each bird
must be fed and cared for regularly the
attendants are kept busily employed
One of these attendants has already
crossed the ocean more than hundred
times in charge Of birds. There are
teirty such employees. The local house
disposes of these birds-the hnest
among them being the Andreas0erger
Harz canaries-in New Orleans, Charles
ton, San Francisco and other American
cities, as we'll as in Canada. Moreover,
buyers are sent throughout the United
States to obtain American birds ana
animals, and also to Mexico and CUBA
for parrots. These are brought to
Germany by the canary attendants
upon their return. In this manner this
same person annually imports into Cor
many from the United States about
5000 Virginia cardinal birds, 5000 non
parcels, 1000 indigo birds and 500 mock
ing birds. He also imports from San
Francisco many sea lions for geological
gardens in Europe.

Farm Hands Wanted.

Every year about this time editorial
writer's draw the attention of idle work
men in cities TO the fact that farmers
in the Northwest want field,hands. The
first to fall into the custom this year so
far as we know is New York wrl ter
who says:
The farmers Of at least half dozen
States of the Northwest are again COM
planning this season Of the scarcity OF
field hands, and are anxious to procure
a supply Of laborers TO assist them In
harvesting their crops. Thousands OF
men can find employment, with good
victualS and fair pay, on the farms OF
almost any northwestern Estate. Inc
facts are OF interest to people out Oh
work in our big cities"
The facts are Of just enough interest
10 people out of work in cities to recall
another fact-that they haven't money
enough to carry them TO the farms In
the northwest even if they cared to go.
A man in New York couldn't get to the
farms In, say Dakota short Of SEQ. II
he be man of family and is out OF
work he probably would find II about
as difficult to get $50 as he would TO
get work in New York.
Should he be so fortunate as to raise
the cost Of transportation IT would take
the best part of week to make the
trip. As there is little harvesting done
after September l he could count on
only about four weeks work, for which
he would receive say $50. To get back
to his family would cost another $50,
s., ,rraafyo' tunrly
But it isn't every man who can walk
into harvest 6eld and do days work.
Harvesting is easy il one knows how,
but It's the hardest labor in the world
if one has had no experience in it.
1t is no trouble TO sit in the office OF
a New York journal and find jobs on
farms for the army Of unemployed, pro-
viding the writer doesn't care what he
writes and doesn't know anything
about farming.

Success For the Monetary Conference.

0uVUoSS LUZ tno MUuo6dkJ OVuoIoMUo'
Some time ago it was announced in the
Journal of Finance that Mr.. William
Lidderdale, governor of the Bank of
England, was about to visit the United
States for the purpose Of sounding the
sentiment in this country among finan-
ciers and statesmen regarding the silver
question. After great deal of hesita-
ton, the English government had been
persuaded to join in the forthcoming in
ternRtional monetary conference at Brus-
sells, this determination being chiefly
reached on the rapidly growing demand
from bi-metallists in Great Britain for
some solution by the nations OF the
world Of the vexed silver question.
AS result OF this decision, Mr.. Lid
derdale was deputed by the English gov
ernment to visit this country and consult
with the treasury officials Of the United
States. Mr.. Lidderdale is now in the
country, and is collecting vast fund Of
information for the use OF the English
representatives at the coming conference,
At present he is in Chicago, and he is
there quoted as saying:
"All the European governments will
attend the projected international con-
ference, and the English representatives
have been appointed. Some Of them ia
vor bi-metallism, and others are mono
metalists. Tread in the papers that Mr..
Lincoln reports feeling in favor Of BIZ
metallism to have grown up in England.
1t must have arisen since left. Except
in Lancashire, where they are suffering
some from the silver question on account
OF the India trade, did not see much
sentiment in favor of bimetallism.
"While l do not care to express any
decided opinion, l do not think you will
adopt the free coinage scheme. You can
stamp piece OF silver 'one dollar and
make it acceptable for 100 cents here, but
you cannot make that piece Of silver
worth more than its real value abroad. l
believe your silver dollar is now worth
in the markets less than so cents. II
you we're to stop buying 100000 ounces
Of silver month to coin into dollars, il
would drive more bullion abroad, and in
that way effect the silver market. -

know in respect TO Europe that the
great abundance Of the precious metals
at the time Of the Roman empire was
succeeded by the extreme scarcity OF the
middle ages; and Of the east we know
comparatively nothing. The few orien-
tai travellers prior to the discovery OF
America gave glowing and possibly OK
aggerated accounts Of the great wealth
Of the east in gold, silver, and jewels, but
they furnish no reliable data upon which
TO base estimates. Even if the exact
amount of the precious metals existing
in 1892 and the amount that has been
produced since were known, the amount
consumed since in the arts and by abra-
sion and loss would still be indeterminate
and the proportionate amounts Of gold
and silver respectively in the stock would
remain uncertain. Even if the relative
production of gold and silver in past
periods were known, their relative
amounts in existing stocks could not be
assumed to be the same, as the proper
tionate amount Of each lost and con-
sumed in various ways may have been
essentially different.
1t is agreed that the proportion of gold
in the stock Of the precious metals has
immensely increased since 1849.
Before that year it was ordinarily es-
timated that silver was in excess in the
worlds stock in the proportion of three
to one, and in the stock Of the western
world (meaning by that, Europe, Amer
lea, and the civilized portions Of Afrcs)
in the proportion Of two to one. All au
thorities agree that in the stocks of the
western world the proportions are re-
versed, and that gold is now in excess.
In 1866 Chevalier fixed the proportion in
the western world at forty-four of gold
to thirty Of silver. Keller fixed it at the
same time at thirty-seven to twenty
eight. The proportion of gold has in
creased since then.
At my rate, there has been since 1848
q complete reversal of the old proper
tions If gold and silver in the supplies,
and very large change OF proportions
in the stock of the precious metals, and,
Notwithstanding these facts, the relative
value of the two metals remained sub
stantially steady until within two years.
Deficiency of the silUer production ssnce
1848 made up so far from the SSICer stock
held in Europe tn 1848.
The relative deficiency in the produc-
tion of silver since 1849 has been made
up, so far, by the quantities released
from the circulations of Europe and the
United States, and the relative excess in
the production of gold since 1849 has
been absorbed into the circulations of
Europe and America. II this releasing
of silver from, and absorbing of gold
into, the circulations Of Europe and the
United states could go on indefinitely,
the time would never come when the
Asiatic demand would raise the price Of
silver. But Europe and the United
States can release silver only 80 long as
they have any to release, and this pro-
CESS must end whea the substitution of
gold for the silver in their circulations is
completed.
In France the metallic circulation has
always been large, and consisted almost
entirely of silver when the California and
Australian gold fields were discovered
After those discoveries silver was ex-

metallic Goney Of the continent of Eu-
rope consisted of silver, the gold stand
ard being confined to Portugal and to
the island of Great Britain. Holland and
Russia were single silver standard coun-
tries. The double standard existed le-
gally elsewhere, but the quantity Of gold
in circulation was very small. If the
Asiatic demand for silver had not existed
the new gold received after 1849 would
have been simply an addition to the
general mass OF metallic money IN Eu-
rope, and could not have affected the
relative value Of gold and silver, as both
were concurrent in the circul tion But
by reason OF the Asiatic demand for sill
yer, that metal was withdrawn from the
European circulation, and it's place sup
piled by gold. This withdrawal Of silver
diminished, Of course, the aggregate vol
ume OF the two metals in Europe The
law Of the double standard made the
entire operation easy and automatic. AS
the laws invested silver and gold equally
with the monetary function at stated
equivalency, it was of no consequence
which metal was retained and which dis
placed. The absorption OF gold by Eu-
rope tended to check depreciation in
it's relative value from excessive pro-
duction. The expectation to Asia of the
surplus current supply OF silver and the
displaced stocks Of Europe tended TO
check a rise in the value of silver in
Asia. No interest was injured. On the
contrary, the interests Of both Europe
and Asia were conserved.
1t is plain that within the past thirty
years the Asiatic demand and the de-
mand of the arts, and the abrasion and
loss of coin have absorbed not only all
the current supplies of silver, but also
the larger part ofthe stock Of that metal
existing in Europe in 1849. These alb
sorbing and consuming forces still con-
tinue undiminished. There can be no
reasonable doubt, the European stock
now being nearly exhausted, that these
forces unaided will be powerful enough
in the near future to overcome the effects
OF the German demonetization of silver,
and neutralize the effects Of the general
closure of the mints against it, and to
restore the relation Of value between the
metals which has existed during the
greater part of this century.
There are no large stocks of silver in
coins and bars anywhere outside Of what
is in actual and active circulation. In the
great banks Of the world, except in the
bank Of France, there is but very little,
and IN that institution there is only about
wo.ffths as much as of gold. In this
country, the whole amount outside Of
plate and the subsidiary coinage is esti-
mated by the director OF the m Mt not to
exceed S3OOO,OOO. There is but little in
London, and none at all in Paris, except
in coins. The London EconOmist de
cember 9, 1876 says the stock there has
run down, because "all dealers are fear
full OF keeping any amount on hand;" and
the Paris correspondent Of the same jour
nal, writing two days before, says;
