FRANK A. CRUISE.
Knoxville College, 9rd Dec. 1898.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1894-06-20

During these months OF 1895 the balance
Of trade was in favor Of this country IN
a small amount. or the account stood
about even. An expectation Of sold. there
fore during these months of 1873 need
not have caused surprise though we
now know that IL was principally due
10 foreigners. who were frightened by
the Sherman law, selling their American
securities and Withdrawing the proceeds
in gold.
But the expectation Of gold during the
same months Of this year is a most
surprising thing indeed. There has been
no month since the beginning OF the
present fiscal year July l, 1888 when the
balance Of trade was not in our favor,
and heavily in our favor, so that at the
beginning OF the present month JuD)
the balance of trade was $2l,00),oU in
favor of this country, a balance larger
than We ever had It for a whole year,
II we except the years 1878. 1879, and
1881. Why should this country be eX-
porting gold when it has this immense
gold fund in Europe that 1t can draw
on for any gold payments it has to
make there?
A close examination Of the foregoing
figures suggests the only explanation
which we can make, which is. We be-
lieve, the true explanation.
Mr. BANDS bill TO 'coin the seignor-
age" passed both bodies of Congress
and was placed in the hands of the
President on the Goth OF March. The
repeal of the Sherman law last fan had
started a revival of confidence In THIS
country. but the passage Of this "seis-
niorage" bill proved TO the world that
both bodies of the peoples representa-
tives were favorable to a system OF
cheap" money The world took the
alarm again and commenced selling
American securities again, and their
sales have absorbed all Of our immense
balance Of trade, and have taken from
us besides a large part OF our reserve
coin. Observe how the expectations run.
The bill went to the President March
Goth, and March's export went up nearly
n million Of dollars. But the bin was
getting In its work well by April, and
that months expectations almost quad
rupled. Its fell work was In full opera
ton by May. and the expectations became
almost ten times as great as they had
been. and were nearly double what they
were in the preceding May. when the
alarm caused by the Sherman law was
approaching its elimination How men
can favor the suicidal policy Of cheap
money with these incOntestabie facts
staring them in the face Is more IMAM
The Times can understand.
