the imports. In other words $62.zzl,H$ OF
gold ought to have been sent to America
from foreign countries during the year.
But what are the facts concerning tnat!
The bulletin also shows that our exports
OF gold during the year amounted 10
sc, 1876, 40, while the gold that came into
the country amounted TO only sl7,45O'sio.
while the exports of silver were sSo,so,-
s3i and the imports Of silver were s2l'-
726252, the excess Of exports OF the two
metals combined. over the imports OF
them being s7S,239.l06
Now here is a case in which, judging
from the values OF exchanges between
this country and foreign countries, we
ought to have had net increase to our
gold of So, 221.7l4. Instead of that being
the case, however. all Of that gold re-
manned abroad and foreign countries
took In addition from us s73, 259, JOG Of coin
which was here and ought to have re-
manned here. What took this immense
sum Of sl35, 800 from us? There can
be but one answer. 1t was the sale here
OF our securities. Why did Europe re-
turn us our securities? We have heard
II said that for the past year or two
Europe has been very poor. and that
she sent us our securities because she
had to have money to live on. But this
suggestion will not answer. 1t is not the
poor who buy securities, but the rich.
The rich are not affected by general
poverty amongst the people. Therefore,
II the 10000 cotton spinners who have
been on a strike in England were starving
II would not cause Rothschilds to sell a
bcid. When our securities are sent TO us
and sold, 1t is because the rich people sell
and the rich never sell securities with
which they are satisfied. They are send
ing us orr securities because they have
become alarmed and are afraid that free
coinage bill will be passed. and that they
will have to receive a dollar worth only
sixty-Gve cents in payment Of their in
terest.
If it were not for the silver agitation,
the Worlds Fair would be worth to this
COuHlIS what uO -hOilit CiIlSlo ever
dreamed Of. Vast numbers of foreigners
with hordes Of money that want places OF
investment will come to this country.
travel over it, and see for themselves the
enormous opportunities for investing
capital profltably that 1t affords. 1t is
hardly possible to conjecture a limit to the
sale OF new securities for which they
would provide us with a market. But
they will buy no securities If II seems
likely that we are going to return them
only sixty-fve cents for each dollar that
they place here. This silver agitation is
as bad for the credit of the United States
as the Virginia debt agitation was for the
credit of Virginia. That destroyed Vir-
ginia's credit for years yet to come. If
not forever, and silver will destroy
Americas credit in the same way.

There will be competition, no doubt,

has established itself so fully in almost

natural monopolies. and that when all the

marks that zone OF the most hopeful in
dications of the British Government being
led TO ultimately moderate its hostility to
bi-metallism is afforded by the marked
change in the attitude Of public opinion
upon the question. The double-standard
cause now finds earnest support among
men eminent in financial circles, among
political economists from the chambers
OF commerce OF the leading cities from
committees of investigation. among the
trades unions, and more and more from
the provincial press. II may be said that
about all the open expression of hostility
TO silver comes from the metropolitan

confined 10 the utterances of the Gnan-
cial editors of the dailies and to two or

Some anti-Cleveland papers have been
trying to see If they could not find some
ground for fault with the President-elect
because he saw fit to attend Mr.. Hayes
funeral. their argument being that in so
doing he showed a disposition to ignore
the theft OF the Presidency for Mr. Hayes
when Mr.. Tilden was elected. Mr.. Cleve-
land did no such thing. His first motive
for attending that funeral was because
Of the personal friendship between Mr..
Hayes and himself; his next was to show
his respect for the high office which Mr..
Hayes had filled, for though he was
placed there by a fragrant fraud which
will forever be blot upon the American
name. still it was a fraud which the
American people all acquiesced in. The
anti-Clevelandites will have to seek other
cause against the next Democratic Presi-
dent.

The directors OF the Southern Cali
fornia Savings bank yesterday elected
Mr., J. II. Brsly, for two years its

F. Spence. Mr.. Braly recentlys pur-
chased bic block of stock in the South
ern California, and, on doing 30, resigned
his position as cashier of the First
National in order to devote himself en-
tirely to the interests of the working
people who entrust their money to him.
Mr.. Braly is pioneer among pioneers,
having arrived here in 1S47, when a
small boy. In 1862 he was sent east to
be educated, and, on graduating from
college, returned to this state in 1858.
when he began as teacher. He reached

Jose, and was for IS years vice principal
of the State Normal school ct that place.
For the past 10 years he has been in
tine banking bueiness, having been the
organizer and president of the Fret
National bank of Fresno. In all bis
banking career he has earned tho repu.
tation OF being a careful and conserva.
tive man with other peoples money.
The working classes, OF whose money he
is the guardian and custodian, are to be
congratulated upon having so cautious
and prudent man to look after their
financial interests.
