wise policy. Let us now bring into the
conference the nations who can make the
gold policy unwise. 1t is singular fact
that the gold nations are buying raw ma
terial of silver nations. and paying tor it
with silver, while silver nations pay for
finished goods in gold. England buys
wheat and cotton of India and pays in the
coinage Of that country. 1t sells goods to
India on long credit and makes the bonds
out payable in gold. As silver will buy
as much cotton and grain in Europe as be-
fore the depreciation in silver, India does
not realize that she is icing done for.
except as she knows that her capital is
gone. South America. Central America.
Mexico, Japan and China are all silver
countries. The debts they have incurred,
whether individual, corporate or national,
are payable in gold. The interest has to
be provided each year with gold at a pre-
MUM of 40 per cent The international
conference should put itself in position
TO show the silver countries how trade
with gold country affects them. 1t should
also be able to show that the things they
buy OF gold countries can be had OF ma
tions that will have a common dollar with
themselves. And then there should be
some kind of proposition providing for
preferential trade relations between the
United States aud countries which accept
the American Dimetallic standard. When
this is done the dog will begin to wag the

ment existed and commissioners were on
their way to the United States with an
offer of annexation to the United States.
On the 1st of February Minister Stevens
wrote the letter of advice from which the
above extract was made. What does this
letter prove? Simply that Minister
Stevens thought annexation the wisest
course that could be pursued. When this
opinion was written the revolution was a
thing accomplished. How it had been
brought about the letter does not explain.
That Minister Stevens favored annexation
after the revolution is admitted. The ad-
ministratiOn relied upon his advice under
conditions of which it could possess only
i'm perfect information. The investigation
now being held in the Senate will deter
mine the issue between the President and
the Minister-whether the latter did in
fact make an improper use of his author
ity in prom citing the revolution.

A TURNING POINT.

Whether or not there is any connection
between the new Southern Pacific sched-
ule of freight rates and the indifference
manifested by some of our merchants to
the maintenance of the North American
Navigation Company THE CALL is not
prepared TO say. The turn things have
i. taken IN connection with the Traffic Asso-
citation enterprise is a surprise One
would suppose that merchants who have
profted so chby cheaper freight rates
would be ready to subscribe something
Ike pro rata amount without urging
Behind the North American Company is
the San Joaquin Railroad project, which is
only waiting for the clearing Of the finan-
cial skies. The managers of the Southern
. Pacific Company appear to have had the
proposed San Joaquin road in their mind
when they arranged the new schedule.
The action of our merchants in respect
to. the North American Navigation Com
paDy will mark turning point in our bust
ness career. The State will enter upon a
policy of competition or 1t will abandon
the field and let the Southern Pacific de-
termine the amount of tax our industries
shall pay in the form OF freight charges.
: If the North American Company is aban-
doned 1t will be hard to revive it. The
Pana ma Railroad Company will form other
alliances. The Mexican route when
opened will be subject to competitive bids,
which will be considered entirely with a
view to the interest of the road. Its
stockholders will not be deeply interested
in California. They may not be anxious
to enter into any business arrangement
with city whose merchants let one valu-
able connection drop from inability to raise
the inconsiderabGe sum of 100000. If the
North American Company is continued the
San Joaquin Railroad viii L be built. This
will enable San Francisco manufacturers
to recover through reduced freight charges
to the interior trade that they have lost
through reduced freight rates from the
. East to this city. San Francisco and the
towns about the bay have it in their pow er
to commence a manufacturing era. All
the conditions Of success are here. There
are the capital, the la Dor and the skill. am,

fc Association is shorn of its results by
the failure of the North American Com
pany we shall continue ID our old business

! finished goods and of paying for trans
portatlon all the traffic will bear.

THE HAWAIIAN PEAR.

The Woodland Democrat asks THE
CALL to explain the letter written by
Minister Stevens last. February to Secre-
tary of State Foster so as to reconcile the
letter to- The contention that Minister
Stevens was not unduly active in the over
throw of the Queen. Following Is an ex-
tract from the letter which our Woodland
friend wants explained away:
The Hawaiian pear Is now fully ripe and
this Is the golden hour for the United States to
pluck il. If annexation does not take place
promptly, or is held in doubt or suspense for
six or ten months, there will certainly be here a
revulsioif of despair, and these people, by their
necessities, might be forced toward becoming a
British colony, for the English here of the
monarchcal type would then avail themselves
of their opportunity and stir up all possible
opposition to annexation.
The Hawaiian revolution commenced on
the 18th of January and ended on the 10Th.

WEALTH OF THE WORLD.

at 7,000,00G.o00. of which about one
half is in silver Assuming both es-
Inmates to be approximately correct
there is S55 in property Of some kind to
ST in money. And yet a man possessing
money can only buy property at the yaIua-
ton the estimate is based upon. The gold
men propose to- reduce the amount of
money by depriving the silver half of its
function as money. It will continue to
circulate assubsidfary money, but will have
no voice in determining values or in the
payment of:debts. If the gold men should
carry out their policy there would be 81
in money for each S11Oin property.

 The shifting of gold has come to be regarded as 6 mono.metallist scare crow rather than threatening fnan- cal specter and really has little to do with the question at issue. M
 The letter closes with bait thrown out to free coinage men and says in ef. feet, "While we are not in favor of free coinage, and believe it would be detri- mental to the prosperity of the country, We will show you how to obtain it on the condition that you influence your representatives in congress to support the repeal of the Sherman act"
 The plan is briefly as follows; It is shown that notwithstanding the inn mense shipments of gold to foreign shores that the entire holdings of gold in the banks of Europe amount to only $75O. .000, 900. If the United States should determine to draw this gold from Europe by the sale of it's bonds specifically payable in golt; the European supply of gold would be seriously depleted and Europe unable in consequence to transact business on gold alone would be driven to join the United States in an international use of silver.
 While this plan barring unforeseen obstacles might eventually bring about international free coinage it is too circumlocutory and admits of too great delay at critical period. The more direct method of legislation st home is equally to the point and preferable by reason of be- ing more prompt in it's action and un- less we can nave such legislation, it is wise to hold what we have. the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman law. The proposition for the restora- ton of silver is strongly remind full of condition of the treaty pro- posed by the wolves to the sheep, name ly that the shepherds should be destroy ed.
