CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.

The gold reserve is now below 500. 000,-
600. The reserve, as is well known, was
collected to give the public confidence in
the ability of the Government to redeem
green backs on presentation. 1t was held
that 500. 100000 of coin was fair basis
for S346. 100000 of greehbacks. The pro-
portion was less than one dollar in coin to
three of paper. but it proved sufficient.
When the day came to redeem green bac ks
none were offered. From that day TO this
there has been no general demand for
coin. 1t does not seem that the exact
amount of 500. ZOO. 900 need be held in the
treasury. The object of reserve fund is
to make sure that coin will be on hand in
amount sufficient for all purposes That
there might be no possible failure
Congress authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell bonds TO the amount of
500. O00, 600 of certain issue 10 obtain coin
TO meet any possible demand for redemp-
ton. The fact that the gold reserve is
melting away may inspire larger
demand for redemption of greenbacks
than has yet been made. At the
present time the treasury redeems
all the greenbacks offered with gold. But
every one Knows that tia treasury has the
option OF redeeming them in silver This,
Of course, is what President Cleveland de-
slres to avoid. 1t seems pretty
clear. however, that the executive
has reached the point in the single
standard policy which requires consulta-
ton with Congress. There is no consti-
tutional way by which gold can be
drawn into the treasury without the sane
lion OF Congress. No authority rests with
the Treasury Department to issue gold
bonds. Neither can the Treasury Depart
ment refuse TO accept silver in payment of

differences of this kind might be drawn
by the rash from the tendency shown by
wealthy Americans to desert Paris for

sence of court in the french capltai,

WHAT is RAW MATERIAL?

The Iron Age has presented a series of
tables which show the cost of producing
pigirOn at the works of the Thomas Iron
Company in each year since 1885. The
total cost is divided into Jour parts, under
the heads of coal" "ore," Limestone"
aud labor" The cost of these raw ma
terials has fallen since 1892. while the
labor item remains about the same. The
table for 1892 shows the cost of coal TO be
So IS. ore Sc 6S, limestone 80 cents, labor
81 43. 1t thus appears that out of total
cost of SIP "a per ton OF pigiron the labor
cost is but 80 49, Free-traders take these
figures and assert, with a show of plausi-
bilty, that with SO small percentage of
labor cost duties on the foreign product do
not afford much protection to labor. If
labor is but a shade more than one-sixth
of the entire cost. the tariff they urge is
for the benefit of capital ra Their than labor.
But what constitutes the cost of coal, ore
and limestone? Is it not mostly labor?
The opening of coal mine is made expen-
Sive in proportion TO the amount of labor
involved. Even in the cost of machin-
cry labor is a principal factor. So
with iron, ore and limestone The
cost of these articles as expressed
is composed largely of the item
of labor. When duties are taken off
the labor in the coal. in the iron ore. in the
limestone and in the erection of works
will suffer equally with the labor engaged
in converting sO-called raw material into
pigiron. And then the steelworkers will
take pigron or the raw material and con-
vert only the labor that is engaged in
working pigirou into the hig her grades of
iron and steel. In point of fact, the labor
item in a S3,000,000 man. of-war is about
go per cent.

HUNTINGTON STILL AT WORK.

MIR. Coils p. Huntington has revived the
rumor that he has come to terms with the
Panama ilroad Company which will alb
sorb the North American Navigation Com
pany's steamship line. The new version of
the story is not essentially different from
the old one 1t is constructed on the old
plan. Mr.. Huntington assumes that the
Pacific Mail Company can give the Pam
anna Railroad Company better contract
than the North American Company has
given itor can give IT, Assuming that he
can give the Panama Company a better
contract than the North American Com
pany. Mr.. Huntington also assumes that
the Panama Company will break with the
North American Company. The bonds of
self-Interest are, perhaps. the strongest
that man can be bound with. The Pan
ANA Company will not break its contract
with the North American Company. but
It Will renew the contract or not, accord
ing as seems to its interest No one can
find fault with that. The thing to do is to
show the Panama Company that its inter-
ests lie with the navigation company. 1t
is better for the Panama Company to work
with the people than against them. The
days of Southern Pacific monopoly are
over. There will be opposition lines to
the East from this time on. If the Pacific
Mail gets control OF the isthmus. it will
have to contend with opposition from
some other quarter. The North American
Navigation Company's line has the conf
dence OF the people. That confidence will
follow them into any new enterprise the
eXgencies of the times may make neceS-
sary. The alliance between the North
American Company and the Panama is
natural. The conditions favor it, With
the line established and well supplied with
steamers on both sides. the allied compa-
MES can transport freight between Atlantic
and Pacific ports at rates that would bank
