WILL HE SIGN ?

There seems to be a somewhat prevalent
opinion at Washington that the President
will sign the Bland seigniorage bill. No
one need be surprised if he does. The re-
peal of the silver purchase bill did not
produce the effects that were predicted,
and the President may say to Wall street
that it does not know everything. Having
been badly mistaken once, might it not be
well to depart little from the path it
would mark out? While President Cleve-
land was in Dismal Swamp. ostensibly 10
pursuit of game, he may have done little
quiet thinking. He may have perceived
that he would experience great difficulty in
maintaining the gold standard, and have
concluded that it would be better to let the
silver men force change than TO submit a
little later to the force of circumstances.
II his Wall-street friends reproach him for
not exercising the veto power. he may re-
ply that when only questions of expedency
are at stake the veto power is good power
not to exercise. No one can contend that
Congress may not order the silver bullion
coined and use the coin in payment of
notes issued to purchase it, The only
contention is that it is not expedient to
90 so,

HOW SILVER MAY BE USED.

In the debate on the Bland bill Senator
Sherman is reported as saying:
1t is certain that under this THE Bandl bill
the whole superstructure of the financial sys-
TEN Of the country will fall, and with II the
country will go down, step by STEP to a single
silver standard.
Senator Sherman is master in finance
He not only knows that 50 in currency
cannot be redeemed with 81 in coin, but
he knows that against each dollar in money
there is several dollars of credit. He must
know also that careful estimates have
placed the amount Of gold the United
States Is required to send abroad each year
to pay interest on foreign investments in
this country at S10O.OO0,00O Now there
was $500, 404, 929 in gold coin and in gold
certificates in circulation in this country
on the first day of the present month.
There was S675 092, 1876 Of paper currency,
not including silver certificates, redeem
able by law in coin, which must be redeem
able in gold 10 maintain what Mr.. Sher-
man calls the whole supeTstructure of
the financial system Of the country" Is
it not apparent that gold is given too hard
task-that silver will necessarily be
called to Its aid whether the Bland bill be-
comes law or not? 1t was stated in a
New York dispatch few days since that
but per cent of the customs in that city
were now being paid in gold. The proper
ton of the internal taxes paid in gold was
not given. but there is no known reason
why it should be greater. Where, then, is
the treasury TO get gold with which 10 re-
deem any large amount of currency ?
There are two ways: One is to make du-
ties payable in gold; the other, to issue
gold bonds. 1t would appear therefore
that the 'whoie superstructure of the
financial system of the country" is pretty
certain to fall anyhow. The coinage OF
the silver in the treasury simply adds to
the amount of lawful money in the treas.
ury-money that may be used to aid gold
in maintaining specie payments, the
maintenance of the gold standard for any
considerable period of time under present
conditions being manifestly impossible
we may initiate the financial policy of the
soundest nation in Europe in respect tC
| the use of gold and siiver-that is, we may
exercise the power the law confers by re-
deemng currency part in gold and part il
! silver.

COAL CONTRACTS.

Congressman Wilson of Washington is
looking into a coal contract which the
Treasury Department has made TO supply
American vessels which will patrol Bering
Sea. The contract is with British COM
pany and amounts to 100000 Wilson
has an American idea that as British
poachers make the patrol necessary Amer
lean coal companies should have had at
least an even show. 1t is quite likely that
when the contract Is closely examined il
will be found that there was no discrimi-
nation against any American company.
The truth is that the abundance of Chi
nese labor in British Columbia enables
the British coal-pr0ducer to underbid his
American competitor. The Boring Sea
fleet will take coal from a point at which
there is no duty to pay.

TARIFF AND IMMIGRATION.

The Tacoma Herald does not agree with
THE CALL that it is better for Germany
that its workers should remain at home if
they can reach the same market they reach
by going abroad. THE CALL has always
advocated a reasonable restriction upon
immigration. That as yet no thorough
system has been adopted does not warrant
the conclusion that nothing is gained by
having work done in this country even if
a somewhat too large proportion is done
by foreigners. The Herald'S objection to
the Mckinley tariff is that it "gives to
protected manufacturers a monopoly of
the market while the country is left open
to the influx Of foreign operatives to mum
date il with imported labor, bring down
wages and leave the American working

CLEARINGHOUSE RETURNS.

So many things must be taken into CAL
cnlation when an estimate of the indus
trial condition of the country is based on
clearinghouse returns that slight yaria-
tion does not certainly indicate an in
crease or decrease of general prosperity.
But general falling off of 80 per cent is a
serious matter. 1t means that we are do
ing about one-third less business now than
at this time last year. While the average
workiDgman is not earning one-third less
the aggregate of earnings when the unem-
pIOyed are taken into account is one-third
less. But last year we were on the top of
the wave, and are now In the trough of the
sea. On this coast we are mounting the
next wave already. 1t is sad to think
