The Government Gold Reserve Fund |.

Matthew Marshall recapitulates the
history of the S1OO,OOO,000 gold fund
in the United States treasury as fol-
lows in the New York Sun:
The fact is. and it cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the public
mind, that this whole matter of
acquiring and maintaining a reserve
fund in gold for the redemption of
legal tenders is not compliance with
any act of congress, but is purely a
tradition OF the treasury department,
originating with Secretary Sherman,
and handed down by him to his sue
cessors. After congress had in 1873
practically nullifed the resumption act
OF 1875 by ordering the reissue of the
redeemed legal tenders, Mr.. Sherman
contrived a scheme for making them as
good as gold by accommodating fund
of gold which should sh ow the world
that if gold should be demanded for
them it could obtained.
The amount of this fund he arbitari-
ly fixed at 40 per cent of the $346, 600,
600 legal tenders which were outstand-
ing on Jan. 1. 1879, or say S140, ,000, 900,
and he actually had at that date this
amount of gold in the treasury vaults.
He procured $95, 500, 900 OF it by selling
bonds, and the rest he saved out of the
surplus customs revenue, which then
had to be paid in gold. His success
sors continued his policy, and thus this
so called reserve fund in process of
time came to be accepted as perman-
ent institution, and to be spoken Of as
such. In 1882 a section was inserted
in the act for extending the charters
of the national banks in which, the
fund created by Mr.. Sherman is
described as oeing reserved for the re-
demption of the legal tenders, and in
which provision was made that when-
ever the fund falls below 800, ZOO, 900
no more gold shall be taken on storage
for private owners and certificates is
sued for it.
The purpose Of this provision is to
guard against the accumulation Of
private gold in the treasury vaults and
its sudden withdrawal for speculative
purposes, but it does not direct what
shall be done to replenish the reserve
when it is less than 100000, 900, and
much less does it authorize any sale of
bonds. In 1885 Secretary Manning
was induced to convert this limit of
500, 900 900, below which the reserved
gold was not to fall without stopping
the issue of gold certificates, into an
authoritave requirement to keep $780,
000, 900 in gold on hand as reserve,
and to deduct it from the cash in the
treasury available for general purposes.
The practice he adopted has been kept
up ever since.

Occasionally we find man, who in
stopping his subscription, thinks il
necessary to apologize and try to ex-
plain "why" he can't take it any longer.
Generally there is good deal of decep.
tion about these explanations-and
then its not necessary anyhow. If you
want to stop taking a paper, pay up
and order it discontinued without ifs

Eastern dealers are paying high
prices for bulk stock at Lake Superior
points. The Shores Lumber Com
pany at Ashland, Wis, lately sold to
Buffalo parties 100000 feet of log
run stock at s20.50 thousand. This
was said by competent authority to he
the highest price ever paid OH Che
quamegon bay for the entire product
OF lot OF logs of that size. A dealer
OF this city, who saw the lumber rs it
was coming from the mill, said that it
was an unusually fine run of stock, but
even at that the price realized was
extraordinary. This sale shows that
the eastern trade is still bent on skim
ming the cream from Lake Superior
product, and that western dealers will
have to bestir themselves to get their
share. If competition is the life of
trade, the western men are getting
en- ough of it, but at the wrong end of
their business. Northwestern Lumber

Attorney General Ellis has rendered
an opinion in reference to the adver.
tlsement and tho sale Of delinquent tax
lands that is Of interest in all parts of
the state. He says that under the
laws of 1891 these lands should be adj
vertised by county treasurers and not
by the auditor general, although the
latter is expected to furnish list of
lands to be sold for state taxes. These
state lands are to be advertised four
weeks previous to the first Monday
in May. Most counties have neglected
to do this this year, and as result the
sales will have to be postponed until
four weeks after the first advertisement
only the county lands being sold on
the first Monday in May.
