THE WOODEN INDUSTRY.

In 1892 there were about $500, 0OO, 900 in
vested in the wooden industry in the
United States. The number of operatives
was 100000. and the average aggregate of
wages 100000. At the present time
good many of these mills are idle, wait
ing to see what Congress will do. The
conclusion is easily reached that the own
ers of the $500. 0o0, 600 invested in mills will
not stand all the loss that may result from
a reduction Of tariff rates. Their remedy
will be to reduce wages. The S77, 00O, 900
distributed among wage-earners under the
present tariff will drop to the point which
will enable mill-owners to produce goods
as cheap as their foreign competitors. The
effect of tariff reform of the Cleveland
type will be TO reduce the aggregate of
wages paid in the industry. There will be
some small gains to European industries
in the way of more work, but not in
the way of better wages. The COM
petition between European and Ameri-
can manufacturers will be closer, and q

STRIKING OUT.

1t becomes from day to day more clear
that bimetallism can be re-esta blished only
by combination among silver-using and
bimetallic nations. The gold nations are
already combined. They stand by each
9th er and defend the position they have
taken on the ground that as creditor a.
tons it Is to their interest to increase the
purchasing power of money. This, at
least, was Mr.. Gladstone's reason for re-
fusing to consider a change of England's
financial policy. There is no reason to
suppose that England will forego the in
creased value of her credits resulting from
the adoption of the single gold standard
until the depreciation of commodities
threatens greater loss from liquidation
til an the possible gain from the apprecia-
ton Of money.
United States may force the re-establish-
ment of bimetallism in either of two ways !:
To become so large a purchaser OF gold as
to produce within year or two the fina
cial crisis that contraction will in the
natural course of events bring ON in q con-
siderably longer period of time, or to form
combination with silver-usiDg countries
based upon the principle of reciprocity.
i nc uTSt bbSp III tuc IOT LlOl OIL eucD q
combin alton would be the calling of an ill.,
ternationsl monetary conference to which
all indie pendent nations should be invited.
The first proposition would be a general
restoration of bimetallism throughout the
world. 1t is assumed that England, Ger
many and four or five other European
nations would refuse to consider this
proposition. The delegates of the United
States should then propose a monetary
union composed Of such nations as might
desire to join it. An inducement to join
the mon etary union would be offered in
the form of reciprocal trade advantages.
AS there would be two standards of value,
one for countries which exacted payment
for their products in gold and one for
countries which accepted silver in the
ratio of 16 to gold. so there should be q
maximum and minimum rate of duties,
the former to apply to countries which
belonged to the bimetallc monetary union,
the latter to nations which adhered to the
gold standard. The writer shows that
while the United States could get along
very well without the goods it receives
| from the gold nations the gold nations
| would find it difficult to get along without
American cotton and grain. 1t is not pro-
| posed to boycott tbe goods of any nation
but simply to admit goods from nations
| conforming to our money standard at
| lower rates of duty than is charged against
goods from nations that antagonize that
standard. There is nothing unfriendly iu
! this policy. Any nation can enter the

GOLD GOING.

The New York Times explains the ex-
port Of gold to Germany on the principle
that gold. like any commodity, will go
where it is the most highly valued. Gold
now goes to Europe because Europe is
bidding higher than the United States.
Pretty soon, IL Congress should act upon
Mr.. Cleveland's suggestion to authorize a
loan, the United States would bid higher
than Europe. Ia this way the value of
gold is continually being increased. Being
the only money of-ultimats redemption it
is an absolute necessity in ali gold coun-
tries. There is so little OF IL now in pro-
portion to the service It has 10 perform

THE M'CREARY LAW.

The Chinese are making no prepara-
tons TO comply with the provisions of the
McCreary law. One month of the six
months allowed them to register has
passed. From expressions dropped by
some of their prominent men it is infer
able that they expect to beat the law.
The membership Of their mercantile firms
is growing rapidly, notwithstanding the
very specific definition of the word ''mer-
chant by the law.
II the Chinese persist In their refusal to
obey the law il will be because they have
been encouraged to take that course by the
action of the administration. With the
virtual support of the administration they
beat the Geary law. With similar counte-
nance it will not be difficult for them at
least to greatly hamper the execution of
the McCreary act. Mr.. Gresham is about
to negotiate a new treaty with the Chinese
Minister, which will include the immi-
grafton question. II would be quite in
accordance with the pro-Chinese record
of the administration to stave off decisive
action on the McCreary bill pending the
conclusion of the treaty.
The people are getting tired of dilly-
dallylng with the Chinese question. The
McCreary law. granting an extension of
time. was passed with the implied II not
expressed assurance that the Chinese
would conform to its provisions. II was
intended not only to give them chance,
but also to placate Mr.. Cleyeland's admin
istration. If the Chinese fail to conform
to it and the administration goes about its
execution in perfunctory, half-hearted
way. or actually interferes with it, as In
the case Of the Geary law. public impa.
tience and disgust will express itself in
terms which will be unmistakahIe.

A CLERKS ERROR.
A Settlement Which Was
Unsatisfactory.
The N. G. Carnall Company Makes a
Claim on AdOlph Sutro for
q Balance.

John III. Hooper, the assignee OF the n. c.
Carnall Company, by his attorney, William Fl.
Chapman. filed a complaint IN the Superior
Court against Adoph Sutro, claiming S3S48
and interest thereon from December %, 1890
claiming that that amount was overpaid to Mr.
Sutro on land transaction and that Mr.. Sutro
refused to refund 1t. The litigation grows out
OF sale OF the tract of land known to the pur-
cbasers of lots as the Lakevew tract.
settlement was made on December 20,
1890, betw en- the company and Mr.. Sutro and
mutual satisfaction WAS executed in which 1t
was stated that the Carnall Company sOlu all
the land contemplated TO be sold by it under
the agreement. and hat under the SCI ilement
Mr.. Sutro received I'm cash S43,45S 90 and
mortgages 10 the amount OF S151, $50 4S, and
that the Carnal Company received as its share
OF the profits $50 .469 IT.
Now the plaintiff alleges in his complaint
that that agreement or settlement, which pur-
ported 10 be a full. true and correct statement
OF the moneys to be apportioned between Them
was believed 10 be true and correct bur that
there was clerical error made by The account
ant OF the Carnall Company. IL appear in the
statement that the total cost OF the land was
sl55, AZ, and that the amount expended was
S7696 81 that the lands were sold by the Car
nall Company for the sum OF 1927, 1888 81 and
there was received therefor in cash ana mort
cages a net profit In excess of price agreed on
and EXPENSES Of S64, 1913 81; that the sum of
Sa696 81 expended in handling the land was
all advanced by the Carnall Company, and no
part thereof was advanced or expended by Mr.
Sutro, and that in the statement tie Carnall
Company was by the accountant who made up
the statement enormously credited with the
payment of s3S4S A. instead OF the full amount.
Relying upon tile accuracy OF tie statement and
in ignorance of the error IL signed the agree
ment OF settlement as stated. The company
remained In complete ignorance of The mistake
until September L. 1898, when the error was
discovered by bookkeeper mplOyed TO ex-
pert The books OF the CarDali- Hopkins Com
pany and the n. c. Carnan Company. When
the mistake was discovered no time was lost in
demanding the S3S48 from Mr. Sutro, but he
refused 10 respond, hence the suit.
