THE GOLD LOAN.

The Victoria COloniSt seems to be under
an impression that the United States is
issuing gold loan at five per cent inter-
est. 1t says:
The determination OF the Government OF the
United States TO borrow fifty millions of gold
coin does not surprise those who have any
knowledge of United States finances In order
to maintain public confidence the Government
must be In position to redeem its paper with
gold, ana It's ability TO do so must be well and
widely known. The rate Of interest,
as the reader knows, is high. Five per ut for
Government loan In these days is very high ;
but the Secretary of the Treasury wants gold,
and the high rate of interest Is offered In order
to induce those who have gold to lend it to the
Government.
The COLOnist could hardly be expected
TO know that the loan is made under law
which authorizes the issue only of coin
bonds. While there is no question at all
of the purpose of the Government TO pay
the bonds in gold, as it has paid other
bonds and currency in gold, the tuEpose is
not expressed on the face of the bonds.
The bonds are Issued under the act of jan
uary, 1875, entitled "An act to provide for
the resumption of specie payment" The
Secretary of the Treasury makes no con-
cealment of this fact. The bonds issued
are made payable ten years from the date
of their issue. and bear interest, payable
quarterly In coin, at the rate Of five per
cent per annum. But bids are only ac-
cepted which offer premiums which re-
duce the rate Of interest TO three per cent
per annum.
1t cannot be said that this bond issue is
thoroughly straightforward proceeding
The purpose for which the act of 1879
authorized an issue of bonds WAS to pro-
vide for the resumption of specie payment.
But specie payment was resumed sixteen
years ago. The purpose for which Con-
gress authorized bond issue having been
accom- plished the act could only exist
when there should be similar purpose tt
accomplish. Again, the face of the new
bonds tacitly admits that Congress has
given no authority to issue gold bonds
Investors assume that the practice of The
treasury in the last sixteen years will bt

ington. The latest compilation of this
kind at hand is for the first three-quarters
of the current calendar year. During thar
interval the value of the merchandise and
produce imported Into the United States Is
given at S5O3.5S 591. In round numbers,
this amount is S12,00O,OOO less than for the
same time in 1893. the proportion of free
goods in this years total is a little more
than 50 per cent. This is nearly per cent
more than was imported last year. The
heaviest items in the free list are sugar.

and indarubber. The sugar bill was $685.

articles whose value exceeds $40. OOO 900
In the dutiable list there were only four
articles with value greater than $4,000

ufactures and tobacco.
The value of the merchandise and prod
uce exports from the United States for
the first nine months this year is $576, 6OS,-
SIC, against S6O3, 221. S73. Our exports this
year paid for our imports with margin of
$73. 600. 900 in our favor. Last year our ex
ports failed to pay for our imports by a
difference of 500, 100000 1t would seem
therefore that the country is relatively
$4,000, 600 ahead on lis foreign trade as
com pared with 1898. The export list of
commodities contains some pretty large
items. We note S102, 496, 185 for meat prod
ucts. This is 100000 better than last
year. There is also S1O2. 176, $40 for cotton,
which is S.. 400, 600 more than last year.
These are the only two articles exceeding
S100000.00 The value of the wheat and
-four exported is SIC, 6SS 1874 This has
been the one weak spot in our export trade.
Not only has there been a large decrease
in the quantity of wheat sent ont of the
country, but also in the value. The fall
ing off in this item alone is equal to S46,-
100000. The livestock trade has offset
some Of this decrease. The value of the
cattle exported is $31 1893 $50, an increase
OF $l4, 800, 600 over last year. The exports
of petroleum added SOS. 266. 422 to the total,
a decrease of 81, S00,0 900. There are sew
eral other classifcations in which the
aggregate value exceeded $10,000.0O0. The
last quarter of the year will make some
difference in these totals. as trade during
that interval is generally large We have
an abundance of produce for sale, which
is only waiting an order from abroad.

THE OAKLAND WATERFRONT
CASES.

The arrival of Sir Charles Rivers VIII
SOD, commissioned to look after the 10 ter
ests of the English holders Of stock in the
Central Pacific, will attract especial inter-
est to the suit by which the Southern Pa
cihc Company aims to gain possession of
the Oakland front. Ii the English agent
feels sore over the losses of his English
clients be may console himself by watch
ing the proceedings by which the astute
manager who let the English in for loss
of 5000, 600 proposes to establish his
claim to water front worth about third
as much as the amount of the English con-
tributiOn to the Huntington treasury.
1t is rather solemn fact that the South
ern Pacific is making the fight for the
Oakland water front in the face of de-
cision by the Supreme Court in a nearly
parallel case against the contentious the
Southern Pacific now sets up. In the
Chicago waterfront case it vas held that
the rights of the people to the water front
of locality could not be bartered away.
The first corners on such a locality could
not organize themselves into a city coun-
Gil and sell to themselves for a nominal
consideration land that in the future would
be essential to the industries of the peo-
pie. The efforts that are being made 10
acquire title to the Oakland water front
indicate a belief on the part of the South
ern Pacific that it may procure reversal
of the decision of the Chicago waterfront

URBAN AND RURAL LABOR.

Mr.. A. B. Stickney. president OF the
Chicago Great Western Railway Com
pany, has just delivered at Des MONIES,
Iowa, an interesting discourse on the ten
dencv of population TO flock to the cities.
During the twenty years 1910. 1860 the
increase of population was distributed be-
tween cities and the rural districts in the
proportion OF 212 in the latter t. l in the
former; from 1860 TO 1870 the cities took
of the increase to 1B taken by the coun-
try; from 1870 to 1880 the cities took
10 3 taken by the rural districts; from
1890 to 1890 the cities took 1 to five-sixths
If l taken by the rural districts. Thus
abOr has been for fourteen years steadily
drifting from the rural districts to the
cities. with constant tendency To over
supply the demand for laborers.
The remedy is indicated by the course
pursued by workmen all over the country
IN 1858, after the railroad riots In Penn
sylvania. 1t is estima ted-and the census
returns confirm the estimate-that in those
years million urban laborers quit the
cities and sought employment in the rural
districts. The relief was immediate. The
same operation, proceeding from differ
ent cause but worked out on the same
lines, led TO the same results in 1878. 1884
In this State. The dark and bitter days
of the winter of 1S7S-79 were followed by
migration of workmen from the cities to
the rural districts of California, and the
result was restoration of prosperity in
1884. The same course. duly modified 10
suit conditions. may be pursued with
profit to-day. Farm life is not as amusing
as city life; it presents fewer opportuni-
ties for diversion and dissipation; but the
sooner it is embraced by those who are
out of work. and the sooner our great
landowners facilitate the occupation OF
small tracts of fertile grants by men who
have no capital but their labor, the sooner
will new foundations for permanent pros
perity be laid
