The Gold Reserve.

1t is expected that the gold reserve will
be down TO about $50 100000 by the end of
this week, and still neither the Secretary
of the Treasury nor congress manifests
any alarm at the situation. If any alarm
is felt by the government it is not per-
mltted to become apparent.
The bankers of New York, however,
pretended to be alarmed. They point out
that at present there is only about
$4,000, COO OF gold in the treasury with
which to keep the 500, 0O0, 600 in circula-
ting notes at par with gold.
None of the many reasons given for the
outflow of gold seems to be satisfactory.
The balance of trade is largely in our
favor. The gold, therefore, does not go
abroad to pay for goods. The most rea-
sonable explanation is that the financial
and industrial situation in this country
is alarming the holders of our securities
abroad, and that the securities are being
sent here to be sold The proceeds Of
their sale, have of course 10 be trans
mitted in gold.
1t is thought that the reason the gov
up the gold reserve is that the Secretary
of the Treasury believes that as soon as
the tariff bill is disposed of gold will flow
into the treasury so rapidly that the gold
reserve will soon reach 500, 100000. The
secretary may be right in this view,
though there are inanciers who hold a
different view.
However, there do not yet appear to be
any signs Of gold going to premium
There is so much faith in the ability of
the government to meet all its obligations
that even if the gold reserve should fall
considerably below $50, 600, 600 there would
be nothing like financial disturbance
The situation is vastly different from
what it was when the purchasing clause
of the Sherman silver law was in force
The repeal of that clause saved the coun-
try vast deal of financial trouble.

Northwestern Forest Fires.

Great forest fires in the northwest, such
as those that have recently wiped out the
towns of Phillips and Morse in Wiscon-
sin, and are still threatening half dozen
towns and villages, are not uncommon
occurrences. About this season each
year, when the forests are dry and the
ground covered with fallen twigs, leaves
and parched underground, great fires
break out and sweep vast areas. A year
without a disastrous forest fire in the
northwest would be a year to he noted.
How the fires originate, as in the pres
ent instance, nearly always remains a
mystery. There are various theories,
but the theories seldom if ever
amount to anything in results. In some
manner spark, or a needle of fame,
gets into the tinder-lil1e stuff in the
woods, and the origin of the blaze and
just about everything else in the neigh
borhood is soon hidden by blackened and
charred remains"
Milwaukee dispatch noting the an
nual recurrence of the fires and their dis
astrous effects, says the prices of prop
erty are considerably affected by the con-
t1agrations. Nobody wants to invest
money where there is strong proba-
bility that within year the investments
will go up in smoke, and be accompanied
by the investor if he happens to be any
where about. Not only is this the case
with investments in the shape of saw
mills or other numbering or suburban
manufacturing interests, but with farms
also The fire which destroyed Phillips
the other day swept every vestige of
growth from a nun Der of farms, besides
leveling all the farm houses and wiping
out the harvested crops. In that vicinity
there was not left even the necessaries
Of life for either man or beast, and ap-
peals for aid from the outside had to be
made.
In the southern country, while forest
fires sometimes occur, they never amount
TO such disasters as do those Of the west.
The south's immunity is probably owing
TO the physical conditions of the section
rather than to the exercise of greater
care.

Let the silverites Explain.

A favorite argument of the silverites to
show that silver has not deprecated in
value, but that gold has appreciated, is
the statement that from time al
most immemorial an once of sill
yer has been equal in value
to bushel of wheat. The statement is
not true, of course, but the silverites, in
order to make out case, are not particu-
larly careful about facts.
In our dispatches yesterday it is stated
that the farmers of Indiana are
feeding their wheat to their hogs
and are selling their corn, because
the market value of wheat is only
43 cents bushel, while corn sells
for 45 cents. 1t is extraordinary for corn
to have higher market value than
wheat because wheat is intrinsically a
much more valuable food product, and is
in much greater demand for mankind.
The market value of it is also, as a rule,
much greater than that of corn. Why is it,
then, that wheat is now worth less than
corn to the Indiana farmers The rea-
son is evident. 1t is not because silver
has been demonetiZed, as the silverites
would have the would believe, but be-
cause the production of wheat is greater
than the demand. In other words, there
is an overproduction of wheat. If this is
not the explanation, why is it that corn
is commanding a comparatively good
price2 There is no reason why the de-
cline in the market value Of silver should
affect the price Of wheat more than it
affected the price of corn. If there
is, the silverites ought to point it out
That they do not point it out is satisfac-
tory evidence that all their talk about
the low price Of wheat being caused by
the decline in the price of silver is non
sense. .....
The truth is that the cause of the low
price of silver and the low price of wheat
is overproduction. More wheat is grown
and more silver is mined than the world
wants. There is no other reasonable ex-
planation of the low prices of those
two articles. And it is likely that the
price of cotton will be lower than it is if
the estimates of the incoming cotton crop
are anywhere near correct.

Trying to Keep Democrats Apart.

! The republican press and republican
/ congressman are doing their utmost to
/ prevent the democrats from adjusting
their differences on the tariff bill. They
/ are saying that the President cannot
with honor, after his letter to Chairman
/ Wilson, sign a tariff bill that does not
! provide for free coal and iron ore.
1t is pretty safe to say that the Presi-
dent will not be influenced in the least by
anything that may come from republican
sources. He understands very well that
the repu blican press and leaders are
aiming to prevent any tariff legis-
lation. What they say, therefore,
has that object in view. The opinions
they may express as to what the Presi-
dent can or cannot do in respect to the
tariff bill is matter of no consequence.
No one is in position to say what the
President will or viii not do when the
tariff bill reaches him. Nothing that he
said in his letter to Chairman Wilson,
however, is likely TO keep him from sign
ing the bill, even if it should not provide
for free iron ore and coal. The chances
are that he would sign the Senate bill
gress. 1t is not such bill as he would
like, but it is vastly better than the Nc
Kinley tariff
The President is we'll aware that if a
tariff bill is not passed at this session of
congress the chances that the next con-
gress will be democratic will be greatly
lessened. Under the circumstances,
therefore, it is not likely he would veto
any tariff bill that might be sent him.
There need be no fear of a failure of
tariff legislation so far as the President
is concerned, and there need be no fear
that there will be no tariff legislation
The effect of the Presidents letter to
Chairman Wilson will be to bring about a
modification of the Objectionable features
of the Senate bill. The bill that congress
will pass may not be just the bill the
President would like to have passed. but it
will be much more nearly in harmony
with the demands Of the people than it
would have been had the letter to Chair
man Wilson not been written.

An Unfortunate interruption.

Willie was asleep, and Dan was lonely, says
Our Little Ones. Willie is the minister's son,
Dan is his dog. 1t was Sunday morning and
every one was at church but these two
friends. 1t was warm and sunny and they
could hear the preaching, for their house was
next door to the church.
Dan, said Willie it is better here than in
church, for you can hear every word"
In some way while Willie was listening he
fell asleep. Dan kissed him on the nose; but
when Willie went to sleep he went to sleep to
S ay and did not mind trifes. So Dan sat
down with the funniest look of care on his
wise black face, and with one ear ready for
outside noises.
Now, the minister had for his subject
"Daniell' This was the name he always gave
Dan when he was teaching him to sit up and
beg, and other tricks. While the dog sat
thinking the name Daniel" fell on his ready
ear. Dan al once ran into the church through
the veStry door. He stood on his hind legs with
his forepawS close beside the minister who
did not see him, but the congregation did.
When the minister shouted Daniel" again,
the sharp barks said Yes, sir, as pla. My as
Dan could answer.
The minister started back, looked around,
and saw the funny picture. Then he won
dered what he should do next but just then
through the vestry came Willie His face
was rosy from sleep, and he looked a little
frightened lie walked straight toward his
father and took Dan in his arms, and said:
please 'Gcuse Ian, papa. j went to sleep,
and he ruined away"
Then he walked out with Dan looking back
on the smiling congregation. The preacher
ended the sermon on Daniel as best he could
