LAST week the gold reserve in
the treasury rose considerably
above the 500, 100000 mark and
the importations of gold were
heavier thar they have been be-
fore for years. There has been a
marked falling off in custom du-
ties which shows that the imports
are much less than they have been
recently but this decrease has
been Offset by an increase in in
tenal revenue receipts. The trea-
sury seems to be all right.

THERE was no opposition to the
election of Crisp as speaker of this
congress on the part of the dem
ocrats in the house of represent
atives. He did not have to pledge
himself to the repeal Of the Sher-
man law without the enactment of a
substitute in order to get the place
either. Crisp has always been a
friend Of silver and there are good
reasons for believing that he will
do all he ear to help the cause Of
silver along.

THE English press generally is
well satisfied with the message of
President Cleveland. To be sure
il furnishes some comfort to the
gold bugs, but if they will read it
with silver glasses on they will see
that it is non-commital. Unlike
the previous state papers Of Presi-
dent Cleveland, the present mes
sage can be taken as favorable to
either side.

THERE has been a great deal
said about the idle silver in the
vaults Of the United States trea-
sury and it has been supposed by
many that there were only a few
millions of silver dollars in
circulation. This idea can exist
no longer since it has been off cially
stated from the treasury depart
ment that there is not a dollar in
silver lying idle in the treasury.
Either the coin is in actual circul-
alton or it is circulating in the
shape of silver certificates which
amounts to the same thing. Nc

SENATOR HILL is in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 15B to 1 and is
said to be preparing a bill provid-
ing for the free coinage of silver
at hat ratio. OF course such a
bill would necessitate the RECON-
age of all of the silver now in cir
culation in this country, but it
would put our coinage ratio on the
same basis as that of the Latin un-
ion and the South American states
and might bring about an agree
ment between the powers sooner
than the passage of a free coinage
bill at the present ratio. Hill will
do some very good work for silver
at this session of congress.

ANOTHER chapter in the Conk-
linz Cunningham contest for the
sherif's Office of Santa Fe county
has been closed. The supreme
court of the Territory has decided
that the case could not come up at
this term and it will go over until
the next summer term of the court
as the court denied the motion of
Conklin's attorney to advance the
case on the docket. Conklin
might as well give up the idea that
he can get the Office after having
been removed by the Governor in
conformity with the law. OF
course it is rather rough on Conk-
lin to lose the Office after having
spent his money to be elected, but
then he ought to have thought
that he was collecting money
which did not belong to him and
that it ought to be turned over in
conformity with the law. The lesson
VIII be worth a great deal to the
other sheriffs in the Territory who
were a little behind in their ac-
counts.

THE balance of trade has at last
turned in our favor and gold is
coming this way. Gold shipments
depend entirely upon the balance
trade and the coinage of silver has
no more to do with it than the
changes Of the moon. IF the bal
ance Of trade be against us there
is nothing to do but to ship gold
to pay the balance, but if the bal
ance of trade be in our favor there
is nothing for the purchasers of
goods to do but to ship gold to us
in settlement of their purchases.
That is all there is to the shipment
Of gold across the ocean.

The Headlight has narrowed
down the issue in the illegal tax
case to the question as to whether
it was advisable for the board Of
County commissioner to bring
the suit which they did against
ex- Sheriff Lockhart. 1t has found
all Of its other positions absolutely
untenable and now pleads the ba-
by act by saying that it was not
good policy for the board to bring
the suit The taxpayers Of the
County will hardly agree with the
Headlight on this point. There
are but few Of the taxpayers who
are willing that Col. Lockhart
should keep their money indef-
nitely TO speculate in cattle, espec-
tally on a downward market. The
County commissioners brought
the suit to see whether the colonel
had a right to hold the money
collected by him indefinitely and
Judge Fall decided that he had
not. If he ever turns it over, the
taxpayers can get their money
back by making the proper appli-
cation to the board of County
commissioners in accordance with
the law.

THE wage earnors Of the cast
are discovering that they have
some interest in the silver mines
Of the west They have found out
that their positions depend on the
demand for the goods which they
help TO manufacture, and they
have also discovered that the clos
ing down Of the silver mines Of
the west has caused a very mate
rial falling off in the demand for
manufactured goods. 1t is very
apparent Just now that the fall in
the price Of silver did not affect
simply the 10000 miners who
were thrown out Of employment.
When the mines were closed down
ore shipments were discontinued
and the railroads found it ~necessa-
ry to discharge a large number Of
employees and the shelters, having
nothing TO do, were compelled to
close down, throwing many more
men out Of employment. The de-
mand for coke for the smelters
having ceased the employees at the
coke ovens found themselves out
of employment and large numbers
of coal miners found that their
services we're no longer required.
All of these idle men suddenly
found it necessary to economic in
the matter.of expenses and the de-
mand for manufactured goods con-
sequently fell off very materially.
The manufacturers had nothing
TO do but to close down their fac
tories and now there are more than
a million people out of employ
ment on account Of the sudden
slump in the price of silver. The
wage earners in the east who have
been listening to the song of the
gold bugs about payments in 30
cent dollars would now be very
glad to get paid in any kind of
dollars which would buy bread
and meat. They are beginning to
see that they have been duped and
now some of the strongest adyo-
Gates of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver in the country
are to be found in the New Eng
land states. Let the good work
go on.

TIE banks in different parts of
the country have been paying as
high as two per cent. premium for
silysr dollars within the past ten
days and the same premium for
currency. The wiseacres who have
been saying all along that there is
enough money in the country and
that there is no necessity for the
coinage of more silver will have to
do some studying to get plausible
explanation for the present condi-
ton of affairs. If there is enough
money in the country to transact
all the business of the country why
is it necessary to paya premium to
get it? The New York banks have
not enough money TO pay the
drafts upon them and they pay
balances to each other in clearing
house certificates of which about
S35,000,00O have been issued.
With all this vast sum they can
not transact all the Legitimate bust
ness Of the city. If the circulation
of the country could be increased
by 5000, O0O,O 900 tomorrow it would
all be in use before the end Of the
week. The passage Of a free coin
age law is the only way to increase
the circulation to so great an ex-
tent and do it safely and this is
just what congress ought to do
without unnecessary delay.

land which was read in congress
last Tuesday was one Of the short
est ever sent to congress, but IL
was quite long enough to convey
to congress the idea which the
President intended to convey.
While the general tone Of the
message seems to be against silver,
there is nothing in it to give sup
port to the idea that the President
would veto a free coinage bill,
if such a bill should be submitted
to him by this congress. In
others words there is nothing in
the message which seems to indi-
cate that the President does not
stand squarely on the Chicago plat
form which declared that 1--WE
hold TO the use Of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of
the country, and to the coinage of
both gold and silver, without dis
elimination against either metal
or charge for mintage."
The only recommendation which
the message contains is for the
immediate repeal Of the silver pur-
chase clause in the act Of 1890,
known as the Sherman law, and
"That other Legislative action may
put beyond all doubt or mistake
the intention and the ability Of the
government to fulfill its pecuni-
airy obligations in money univer-
sally recognized by all civilized
countries"
AS to the course to be pursued,
the message is singularly non-com-
initial. The whole burden Of the
solution of the question is thrown
upon congress with the intimation
that a Condition, not a theory"
c~onfronts us and tha5 the national
Legislature is expected to take spec
dy action which will restore con-
idence and bring prosperity to to
country.
1t is quite apparent from the
tone Of the message that the Pre-
sident has abandoned sthe idea Of
the repeal Of the Sherman law
without the enactment Of a sub
stitute and the advocates of free
coinage have every reason to hope
that the President will not refuse
to sign a bill providingf for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present ratio. Having been
elected on a platform which de-
%clares unequivocally for the free
coinage of silver, the President
has wisely concluded that the ma
jority of the voters of this coun-
try, who elected him on that plat
form, are entitled to some respect
and consideration.
Whatever the Presidents opin-
ion may be on the silver question,
it is certain that he has decided
not to come out and positively de-
clare his opposition to free coin
age and this is more than a major
ity of the advocates Of free coin
age had expected. The message
is diplomatic in every sense and
there is every reason to believe
that the President is open to con-
viction on the silver question.
