= Amount OF Money in Circulation.
According 90 the statement issued bv
Che trya-gry department. ,he amount OF
/ currency OF an kinds in circulation 1u
] Aug ! WAS Sl.G1I Oo.oI7 This amount
/ ifs about sl7O00.000 greater than that
which was in circulation on July I. As
Stunning that the population of the coun-
Try is 1853 0o0, the per capita circuLa-
| tiou is s34O3
I The volume OF the currency is being i'm
| creased all the time by the issue Of treas
/ ury notes and national bank notes. The
national banks are particularly active ia
/ increasing the volume of their circula-
tion, the price at which government bonds
can be obtained enabling them to increase
it at a profit.
The fact that the gold reserve in the
| treasury now exceeds 500, 100000, and is
likely to steadily grow larger, is having
| beneficial effect When the reserve fell
below the SlOOOO0,O0O mark there was a
great deal Of uneasiness not only in this
country, but also in Europe, where hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth Of
American securities are held. The belief
was entertained 10 some extent that the
government would soon be Obliged TO
stop gold payments, and consequently
there was quite a general desire to sell
securities. There is a pretty strong be
lief now, however that it doesn't make
much difference whether the gold reserve
is a few millions of dollars below or above
the 100000, 600 mark The credit of the
government is gilt edged, and the policy
of the administration is to maintain gold
payments
The silverites have been industrious in
their efforts to create the impression that
the reason we have lost so much gold
within the last year is that the BALANCED of
trade has been largely against us, and
that gold is now returning TO US because
the balance of trade is now.in our favor.
1t is probably true that the reason gold is
returning is that the balance of trade is
now in our favor, but the statement just
issued by the chief of the bureau Of sta
tistics of the treasury department makes
it quite clear that the outflow of gold,
amounting TO SS7 800 900 for the year end
ing June 80 last, was not wholly due to
the fact that the balance of trade was
against us. According to the foregoing
statement the actual balance of trade
against us for the year in question was
only SIS, 100000 1t seems, therefore, that
we lost S70,OOO,OOO in gold that
is not accounted for on the
balance of trade theory. The only ex-
PLANTATION of the loss Of this so, 0O0,0 600 is
that European holders of our securities
became alarmed by our large purchases
of silver under the Sherman law and sent
securities to this country to be sold
They, Of course, received the proceeds of
the sale of them in gold.
1t is noticeable that there have been
fewer failures within the past few days
Some manufacturing establishments are
shutting down because there is no market
for their products, but, if congress
promptly repeats, Internationally, the
sill ver-purchase clause of the Sherman
law, confidence will to a great extent, be
restored, and the mills will resume oper-
alton, and the business depression will
gradually disappear.

The niatresa in Colorado.

The existing financial depression has
caused more suffering in Colorado, from
actual want, in proportion to her popula-
ton, than in any other state. There are
thousands of men out of employment, and
very few of them have the means to get
a meal or a bed. A dispatch in the
MORNING News yesterday stated that
hundreds of Austrians and Italians were
leaving Pueblo for their native land. 1t
seems that they had been wise enough,
when they were fairly prosperous, to save
something from their earnings
But, only few of the workers in the
mines aud smelling works, and fewer
still of those engaged in other occupa-
tions, saved cent to tide them over
troublous times About all of the en-
ployed lived as though they thought
times would always be prosperous and
that they would never have difficulty in
getting work.
The consequence was that when the
price of silver dropped so low that the
mines were closed and all kinds of bust
ness practically came to standstiu
thousands of people, who were thrown
out Of employment, saw starvation staring
them in the face. This week as many as
thousand men a day have been fed
at public expense in the city of Denver.
Not many of these men were tramps
Nearly all of them were anxious and
willing to work They offered to do any
thing All they desired was to earn
enough to keep body and soul together.
The railroads have carried thousands of
them to the eastern states where many
of them have friends, but they win not
readily find employment anywhere, be
cause the great army ofthe unemployed is
steadily growing larger all over the coun-
try All sorts of industries are being
stopped because there is no demand for
their products, and money cannot be OBJ
tanned 20 continue to manufacture arti-
cles for which there is no market The
volume of business has fallen off greatly
and employees are being notified that their
services are no longer needed. While the
condition of affairs is somewhat better in
the east than in the west there is no
chance for the unemployed thousands of
the west to make living in the east
In these times of distress the farmers
are better off than any other class. They
may not make any money but they are
assured of plenty to eat. They are in a
| position to wait for better times.

The Siamese AFFAIR.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).
The difficulty about getting reliable infor-
nation on the subject arises from the fact
that the French and English ministries are in
q measure on trial. and each is anxious TO
conceal negotiations that might appear to
show any weakness or yielding. Lord Duff
erin ana NJ. Develle were obliged to come to
an agreement to avoid war, but neither could
AFFORD to make known in what he yielded, for
the two nations are jealous OF eacn other, and
have war than a compromise agreement.

have made good thing of this liberal

dogs, which were taken to the city in
small lots, but at frequent intervals, and
turned over to the pound Keeper, and for
which the premium was collected OF
course the law was intended TO apply
only TO New York city, and the bringing

WIN Cochran Oppose Tammany?

Will Cochran Oppose Tammany?
There is a good deal of talk in New
York to the effect that Congressman
William Bourke Cochran, the famous
Tammanv orator, is not on the best Of
terms with the Chief Croker and other
Tammany leaders, and that he is seriously
thinking of Joining his fortunes with that
wing of the New York democracy that is
opposed to Tammany.
1t is pretty well understood that the
Tammany collar gals him, and that he
thinks he Is influential enough to have
his ambition gratifed without waiting
upon Tammany's will. 1t is believed
that he would like to have been elected
to the Senate to succeed Senator Hiscock.
Mr.. CIevelandfavored him, but TammAny
insisted that the place should be given to
Mr. Murphy, and Tammany's will pre-
vailed.
If Tammany should lose Cochran 1t
would lose its ablest orator, but the or
ganzation would not suffer greatly.
Cochran's power is his ability to talk
cloQuently and intelligently, but as a po-
litical manager and organizer he is fail
ure. If he should leave Tammany his
chances for advancement would not be as
good as they are at present, in all proba-
blity.
1t is evidently his intention to play an
important part in this congress. He is
spoken ofin connection with two or three
important committee places. One report
places him at the head Of the coinage
committee and another at the head of the
banking committee. He is quite certain
to have an important place on one or the
other of these committees. In that event
he viii strive to make a reputation for
questions. He is young, rich and very
ambitious. Unless all signs fail he will
be an important figure in this congress.

League of base ball clubs appears doomed

summer into two seasons" Had the
schedule been arranged so as to leave the
championship in doubt until the end of
the summer, the clubs would hardly have
been in so great hurry to sell their best

Blythe a Defaulter.

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 22.-Quite a sem
sation was caused here to-day when it
became known that Sheriff A. S. Blythe
of Miller county. was short in his ac-
counts.
It was rumored several days ago that
one of the Sheritfs of the State had de-
faulted, but the identity of the official
was not made known until today, when
two of his bondsmen, Representative
Kirby and Clerk Scott, of Miller county,
arrived here today.
eyes, it is true that Sheriff Blythe is
a defaulter to the amount of$9 300, ''said
Mr.. Kirby to a reporter, "and as | am
one of his bondsmen my visit is con-
corning his case. The shortage has
been known to few of our citizens for
several days, but was kept from the
public. Capt. Blythe does not talk
much about it, but it is understood
that he used the money in speculations
that Jared badly owing to dull times
and in consequence he was unable to
replace the funds. He set his son up
in the livery business short time ago
and it has been limited that he used
some Of the money of his office to pur-
chase the property.

with State Treasurer Morrow, and | ex-

When his shortage becomes known it
will cause much regret, as he is very

Sheriff Blythe is now serving his
third term as collector of taxes and
Sheriff. His home is at Texarkana,
the seat of government of Miller
county.
The time of final settlement of sheriffs
expired July Is, and on that day Sheriff
Blythe was indebted to the State to the

A Case Of White Gaping.

Hot SPRINGS, Aug. 25.-The first case
of white Gaping. or anything like it !,
about Hot Sprinps is reported to-day.
Yesterday morning S. Shultice, of this
city hired three colored men to cut tim
ber for him several miles from the city.
They pitched camp, and last night
about midnight were awakened by a
dozen or more white men who, at the
point of as many guns, ordered them to
depart. They were driven toward town,
the white men following and threaten
ing them. They were not permitted
the privilege of taking their bed clothes
and axes with them. The frightened
negroes reported to Mr.. Shultice, who
appealed to the Sheriff for protection.
Mr.. Shnltice had two white men already
working at the camp, and the negroes
say they formed part Of the mob that
ran them away.
