THE GOLDEN CALF.

q financial writer in the New York Sun
SAYS: Confidence cannot oe permanently
established so long as a possibility remases
of tne adoption of the silver standard I
any ratio whatever" The use of tfa
words ''siver standard" in place of
''oimetallism" is a kind of begging the
question. There are very few who advo-
cate silver standard. The purpose of the
great majority who are improperly classed
as silver men is to coin the two metals Oh
an agreed ratio and TO make the money of
both the metallic basis Of currency. If the
ratio adopted is true, or nearly so, the
greater use of the cheaper will soon re-
store the equilibrium. If silver had re-
mained a legal tender between 1873 and
1873 the gap between the commercial value
of gold and silver would never have been
created. When it fell to 81 90 an ounce il
would have been coined up to the de-
mands OF business, and would have shared
with gold the function of measuring the
value of commodities.
Since the SUMS financial writer ex-
pressed the opinion above quoted. Colonel
w. j. Sullivan has arrived in this city from
London, and has given the public the
benefit of his observations in that city.

vestors have within the last foar years
lost the enormous sum OF S3,075. 900. COO
This is almost one-third Of the mount the
world is estimated to owe England. These
heavy losses have largely resulted from an
attempt TO make creditors pay gold in
satisfaction of debts incurred on a silver
basis. This does not look as though con-
tidence was very firmly established through
the adoption of the gold basis. In fact,
England stands TO lose more through the
process of liquidation than it can make by
demanding payment in money more valu-
able than any money in existence when
the debts were created.

MIDSUMMER MADNESS.

1t is evident that The weather East is
getting warm. Hot days. and especially
hot nights, are not adapted 10 cool refiec-
ton. Still. making due allowance for
the season, one can hardly reconcile the
following from the New York Herald
with presumption of the degree Of sanity
which might be expected to survive hot
season. The following is given the bene-
fit OF double leads as if to emphasize its
Stiffness:
1t Is more than the duty OF Congress to blot
out at once The legislation which, by closing
mills and factories, blIghting trade and indus
try, has driven hundreds OF thousands OF wage
earners into idleness. The growing hosts OF
unemployed need practical relief at once aud
Congress may well make an appropriation for
that purpose. There are precedents for such
action and the aid would be most timely and
servlceable.
The law which has driven the Herald so
nearly frantic Is the law requiring the
treasury to purchase 100000 ounces of
silver each month, and to pay for the sill
yer in treasury notes. redeemabe in coin.
The treasury has about S150.00 900 in
silver, and a corresponding amount of
treasury notes are in circulation. But a
dog-day deusion of the Herald is that it
is this law which has closed mills and
factories, blighted trade and driven men and
women to idleness. But other men trace
effects which are admitted to different
causes. Before the free-trade party was
given power to smash the tariff, advocates
of the protective policy predicted what
would happen under free trade. Mills
and factories, it was said, would be conf
peled to close if the work they had been
doing should be done abroad. The de-
preston that has overtaken us Is no more
severe than was anticipated. And the
more apparent becomes the fact that it is
the fear of free trade that causes this de.
preston, the more positive free-trade jour-
nails become In the assertion that the pur-
chase of few hundred million ounces of
silver at the market price is the cause OF
all our trouble.

GIVE US A HOME MARKET.

II the American home market for wheat
was 10 per cent larger the price of Ameri-
can wheat would not be fixed at Liver
pool. The wheat-grower would not have
to compete against wheat produced with
the cheap labor of India and Russia. Hi.
product would command a price in accord
with the American standard Of wages.
But so long as we export wheat, the price
we get for it will. with small fluctuations,
determine the price at home. A protective
policy and tariff for revenue policy con-
trast sharply in this respect. Protective
duties on foreign manufactures enable
home manufacturers to supply the market
with larger proportion Of finished goods
than would be possible under the low du-
ties that would be imposed by tariff for
revenue. The men and women who make
these finished goods live. in one case, in
our own country, and in the other, abroad.
American farmers may raise wheat for
both the home and the foreign workers,
but where we send wheat TO a foreign
market we have to accept the foreign
price.
But if there were consumers for all the
wheat we produce, the price would be
fixed in this country. 1t would assume its
proper relation to the price of other COM
modities. Tariff for revenue men tod

many wheat-growe wers believe that il we
should reduce our duties and consequently
permit the importation Of larger amount
of foreign goods we should have larger
foreign demand and higher price for our
grain. But we now perceive that the
price of grain in Europe is fixed, not by
the amount we send there. but by the cost
of raising wheat in countries where wages
are 10 cents day. The amount of wheat
that can be grown is practically unlimited.
The only limit is to the amount that can
be raised at certain price. 1t appears
that enough can be raised and placed In

THE TWO PRESIDENTS.

In President Harrison's message to Con.
gress at the opening of the December ses-
sion the following suggestive passage oe-
ours:
We have had In our history several expe-
riences of the contrasted effects OF revenue
and of protective tariff; but this generation
has not felt them, and the experience of one
generation is not highly instructive TO the
next. He Che, American laborer) may
now be able TO review the question in the light
of his personal experience under The operation
of tariff for revenue only. If that experience
shall demonstrate that present rates OF wages
are thereby maintained or increased either alb
solutey or iu their purchasing power, and that
the aggregate volume of work To be done in
this country is increased or even maintained,
so that there are more as many days work
IN year 1t as good or better wages for the
American workman as has been the case under
the protective system, every on Will reiuce.
A general process of tUGge-reduction cannot be
contemplated by any patriotic citizen ecithout
the grovest apprehension.
Sin ce this was written wages have quite
generally been reduced. When wage
workers would not consent to reduction,
they have been discharged. The manu-
facturers say they cannot pay the old rates
Of wages and compete on even terms with
manufacturers who do not pay one-half
the old rates. That reduction of wages
will result from the enactment of a tariff
for revenue law, no one doubts. Yet we
find Mr.. Cleveland, whom so many Repub-
lican Senators have extolled as an excep-
tionally patriotic citizen, exerting all his
influence to repeal the silver purchase law
while maintaining absolute silence on the
vastly more important question as to what
kind Of tariff bill shall be framed.

their offers. At time when no one can
reckon on large accommodation at hank,
few are willing to assume responsibilities
for the future. The only one who makes
any money out of the decline is the English
shiD-owner. A few mon tbs ago he was
glad to sell his space at 20 shillings ton !;
now he is getting SO shillings. Every dol
lar which is taken out of the California
farmer goes into his pocket. Curious.
isn't ir. that local monetary stringency in
this city should be source of gain to the
ship-builder and ship-owner at Liverpool
and Hull? But that will continue to be
the case as long as Liverpool maintains
the present price of grain.
The market price OF that depends largely
on the volume of wheat which is sent to
market from the interior and on the
amount of tonnage seeking charter at this
port. While the Liverpool market shows
no signs of panic, and money is not out
rageously dear at the English centers, the
tendency of wheat in England is down.
ward, doubtless on account OF the large
importation. In times like these the
natural impulse of every owner OF mer-
chantable property is 70 turn it into money
if he can, and hence. unless wheat falls
below the cost of production, 1T must be
expected that the farmers will realize, even
though the net returns from their brokers
are disappointing.
The San Francisco market is said to be
reflection of Chicago. and, though it is
subject to influences which do not rule in
the windy city, it is largely governed by
sympathy. The price hangs round cent
a pound. What this means to the farmer
who hauls his wheat in wagons to the
wayside stations it is not easy TO guess. 1t

and also make just and proper reductions
on finished goods. Governor Russell is a
Massachusetts Democrat. That State does
not produce much raw material. but il
converts an immense amount of raw mate
rial into finished goods. Naturally Massa-
chusetts wants cheap raw material, but is
not SO anxious to have cheap finished
goods. Governor Russell will probably
let the radical taritf-fOr-revenue men fire
away rather than forfeit the support of
Massachusetts manufacturers by advocat-
ing tariff bill on the principle laid down
in the Chicago platform.
