SOME one has figured up the cost
of the expedition in which Colum-
bus discovered America. Queen
Isabella gave 1,140,O00 maravedis,
equal to about 1926. 1t must be
remembered, however, that she had
to sacrifice her jewels to obtain even
that sum. This, we suggest, was
perhaps due to the fact that at that
period the Church, and the Roman
Church dominated Christendom,
forbade the lending of money on
interest, and funds could not be
borrowed then as now Hence to
raise even small amount of cash
was great undertaking. Even as
late as the Great Armada, after
Raleigh had settled Roanoke Island,
Queen Elizabeth had but dozen
small vessels, the British fleet that
destroyed the Amada being fur
nished by the trading towns Of the
kingdom merely for that occasion
But to return to Columbus expedi
ton, his pay was 1920 year. His
three captains had an annual salary
of 1892; his pilots $12O to $50 The
doctor $3.50. While the sailors
got two dollars and half month
and their keep. Such was the com.
pensation Of the daring mariners
who made the perilOus ' yage.

As incident to the resumption Of
specie payments by the government
in 1878, fund Of $100,OOO,OOO was
directed to be accumulated in the
treasury, to be used in redeeming
any greenbacks that might be pre-
sented for payment. Greenbacks
had been considerably below par,
for the government would not re-
ceive them as gold or silver, nor
would it give gold or silver for
them. But when that was changed
and the government declared itself
prepared and willing to give specie
in exchange for it's paper money, the
difference in value at once disap-
peared, and no greenbacks were
presented for payment or redemp-
ton. The paper money was as good
as gold and it has been so ever
since. In the meantime the govern
ment got in great quantities of gold
and has had as much as $3.50, ,0OO,-
900, we believe, that might have'beer
used in redeeming its greenbacks
But of late the free gold has rur

aGng adversely on the meeting Of
the Southern Governors, reads the
South lecture on the subject of
protection and insists that as long
as the South is opposed to pro-
tective tariff capitalists will not in
vest in manufacturing in this region.
That is what We call non sequitur.
Suppose it we're true that capital
avoids the South because she is not
in favor of high tariff; now since
New York has anchored herself in
the same column as the South, we
might expect that the manufactur-
ers would forsake that State, and
also Connecticut and Rhode Island

dications, Massachusetts will no

trench on that reserve which IS
Kept to redeem greenbacks. Gold
has been drawn from the Treasury
for export chiefly by presenting
"gold certificates" for redemption;
and for reasons that are not very
plain, Secretary Carlisle has now
directed that no more gold certlfl-
Gates shall be issued. By this move,
he hopes to maintain his gold
reserve intact, but we appreheno
that the remedy will not answer for
the disease.
1t is said that the drain of gold
fir ON this country which attracted
so much attention some months ago,
was due to the Rothchilds who had
undertaken to supply $4,000, OOo
to Austria, whose currency was then
being changed from silver to gold.
And it is narrated that the Aus
TRANS were so unaccustomed to gold
that at first they would not take the
new golden coins from their own
mint. They were afraid of it.
However, that scare quickly sub
sided, and now Austria calls On the
Rothschilds for $4O,000,OOO more,
and those shrewd bankers propose
to get it at New York. We may
then expect a further demand on
us for large quantity OF the yel-
low metal; and this demand will
have 10 be net by the Treasury

III tne latter case the 100000, ,O0(
reserve can be properly used, fol
that is the very purpose for which
the treasure was amassed. In tn
former case the gold depoeitet
when the certificates were issued i
on hand to pay the holders. Bu
the treasury people tremble to Sc
their golden hoard diminish; an
the bankers and the Wall stree
men are working themselves up int

Trouble Coming to the Surface.

BELGRADE, April 17.-Trouble is
already begun for the ex regents,
Ristitch and Belimarkovich and
their late ministry. The new gov
ernment as the result Of the inves-
LEGATIONS already made concerning
the finances Of the country since
Alexander acquired power by the
coup d etat of last Thursday night,
made demand that the ex-regents
and ex-ministers shall reimburse
the government for the sum of the
two million four hundred thousand
dinars Or francs misappropriated
during the regency under the pre-
text of having been used in the Sc
cret service of the State. The gen
eral acquiescence, if not approval,
with which King Alexander's coup
d etat was hailed is already inter
rupted. The Liberals have gath
cred courage since Thursday night,
and now apparently propose to ex-
cite the people against the govern.
ment. The Liberals have issued a
manifesto in which they describe
t g new ministry composed Of M
Dokitch and his colleagues, ap.
pointed by King Alexander since
he seized the royal authorisy, as
usurpers # political power and az
having incited the KING to a coup
d etat In violation of the constitu
tuition and laws of Servia. The LIB
erals state they make their stanc
upon the tights of the people, which
they claim have been outraged ant
