Gold and Silver Going Abroad in
 Large Amounts.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 16,-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The shipment of more than 5000 900 gold to Europe early this week has caused some natural apprehension in speculative markets. 1t is true that the gold is demanded by Aus tria under such circumstances that accept ant premium is paid for it, but neither Austria nor any other country could draw gold from the United States at present un- less there were heavy sales of American se- curities by foreigners. The exports of breadstuffs, cotton, provisions, cattle and 1 669, ,392, indicating aggregate exports of | about $95, ,000, 900 per month, and an ex- | cess of merchandise exports sover imports not less than S20, ,000, ,000. At the same time silver has been going abroad in large amounts. It is clear that unless securities had been moved this way in unusual | amount gold could not be taken abroad in 1 the settlement of international exchanges. l But the conditions of domestic trade are l decidedly healthy, and the approaching close of the year will find larger volume of business, both foreign and domestic, | than has ever been known before.
 At Boston general business Is steady, cor ton mills were never better employed, and trade in weolens is heavy, while in boots and shoes business Is eminently prosper

CHINESE RESISTANCE.

Strength of the Movement to Evade
 or Repeal the Exclusion Act.
 PITTsBuRG, Dec. 16.-A strong con- certed movement has been started by the Chinese of the United States to resist the Chinese exclusion act. Hon Yung Wung, formerly commissioner of education for the Chinese government, writes Rev. E.. R. Donohue of this city that three diff ferent plans of resistance have been de- cided upon. The constitutionality of the act will first be tested and the well known constitutional lawyers-Joseph Choate and Charles H. Seward-will have charge of the case. .-
 Then the Oriental club of New York will try to arouse public sympathy through mass meetings and congress will be flooded with petitions demanding repeal of the law. A poll tax of $1 head will be levied on every Chinaman in the United States to defray expenses. This will mean fund of over $100, ,000.
 Finally the Chinese government will act, and failing, retaliation will follow. There will be no recourse to arms, but there will be abrogation of treaty rights. All com mercial communication will be shut off and the government will oease protection to the 1 ,5e0 American merchants and the several hundred missionaries now in China.

property of everybody in this country. Had this party, supported by such means, not been overwhelmed all that has been said of us as people in the past would be untrue. We have before us 8 very grave question which involves protectionism, governmentslism and paternalism and that is our currency system. If the people of this country can be successfully educated as to the limitations of the power of gov erment over value in money great point would be gained. A superstition sur rounds the words "Legal tender" If that could be removed all the evils threaten ing us would be removed. It is com mon belief that government has 6 mysterious power to infuse value into a substance otherwise valueless, or to add to the value which already is in 6 sub stance by putting it in the form of bank bills or of coined money and calling it legal tender. do not think there is any power in government to give any value to any thing by adding the legal tender quality to it. In all the legal tender paper money there has not only been the legal tender quality. but there has also been the prom ise to pay. Other monies in other parts of the world have had this legal tender qusl- ity and this promise to pay and we have found them becoming utterly valueless and yet retaining that legal tender quality.
 A question much controverted during the canvass Is that of bank notes. Before we have got to perfectly sound scientific money system in this country this Ameri- can people has got most seriously and in telligently to consider that subject. There Is no reason in the nature of things why government should forbid you from issu- ing your obligation payable on demand for 8 dollar, and whyit should forbid me from passing it to my neighbor and him from passing 1t on, and that Is a bank note There is no more reason why government shonld prevent your doing this than that it should prevent your borrowing @ dollar of me, lest you fail to return it. But government has found that this bank-note circulation possessed very great use, that it was one of the means for oiling the wheels of commerce, that it was a supplement to the other great credit system, the promis- ory note payable on time, that 1t perform ed an equally important function. but in order to perform this function perfectly it must be surrounded by safeguards SO we'll known that men could rightly hold these things called banknotes without too much examination and consideration.
 Messrs. Quincy and Rice followed with speeches.
 In the absence of the secretary, Hon. Harvey N. Shepard read letters of regret from Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Oliver Ames and William Lloyd Garrison.
