The telegraph announced yesterday that
the syndicate with which Mr.. Cleveland
contracted to protect the United States
Treasury from raids upon its gold, had
placed in the treasury $2,OCVJ OF gold 10
take the place of what has been drawn
out OF II recently for shipment 10 Cana
da and Europe. in return for which they
received 100000 in greenbacks. No an
nouncemcnt of anything like the impor-
lance of this has been made since the an
nounccment of the making OF the con-
tract itself. That was one of the great
est acts Of government ever performed in
this country. 1t stopped the run upon the
Treasurys gold, restored confidence in
business, set thousands of wheels turn
ing. and converted a condition of stag
nation into one of business and push.
But this last act of the syndicate is OF
the very last Importance as demonstrate
ing how all our financial ills can be con-
trolled and cured when perfect confidence
prevails. 1t is estimated that there are
more than two thousand millions of dol
lars lying idle in London, and looking
for investment. \ great part of this
money would be sent to this country TOR
investment in American securities If free
coinage of silver did not threaten that
the interest and principal Of those secur-
tiles would be paid in silver But this
syndicate has the widest connection in
London of any financial body existing,
and it has the entire confidence Of its
clientele. Though the public is afraid
OF American securities the clients OF
the Messrs. Rosthchild will invest in
anything recommended TO them by tina.
house. The syndicate IS. therefore. able
to replenish the Treasury's gold through
European investments in American secur-
tiles. although the United States govern
ment would be unable TO get Europeans
TO buy those same securities. 1t deposits
gold in the Treasury. receives greenbacks
in exchange. buys choice American Sc
curities that il can recommend 10 its
clients, with those greenbacks; carries
them to London, and sells them there TO
It's clients for gold. and thus gets back
the gold that II put into the Treasu ~
But all of these operations turn upon con-
fdence. The syndicate always keeps its
engagements as made, its clients have
implicit confidence in it, and 1t is thus
able TO do whatever ii would our gov
eminent could do exactly the same II
the free coincrs had not upset confidence
in IT, But they threaten that the gov
eminent and all others shall be made 10
pay fifty cents where II or they have
promised a dollar; they have hurt its
credit, and all credit in America, ana
we have 10 pay the Iei.aity of impaired
credit.
That was a statement Of powerful sig
nih' ance made by Mr.. Horr Monday,
that the free-siiver paper which was
thrown i'm his face. was one of the anar-
chist papers Of Chicago that supported
free silver because II saw that ii tended
TO anarchy.

indeed TO the wcll-informed if Great Bril-
tain does not increase her prestige
enormously during the next six or seven
years.
Already there are evidences that mas
ter's hand is upon the helm. In settling
her Burmese boundaries n few years
back, Great Britain turned over to China
territory adjacent 10 Burmah, slam, ana
China. called the Shan States, which
seemed incapable OF self government
but which she wished TO be preserved
as buffer" territory between her own
dominions- Siam. French China. and
China. She ceded this territory upon
the express condition that China should
not cede IL away, but should preserve
II as buffer" State. The French
have now jugglcd with the Chinese until
they have obtained from them a ces-
sion of part OF this territory. The tele-
graph informs us that Lord Salisbury has
already sent a positive protest to the
Chinese and French governments against
China ceding this territory and France
re ,eiving it. There can be no doubt that
he will make this protest effectual with
arms If that shall become necessary.
What will the French do about II?
They already have another unsettled pro-
test from England under consideration,
that relating to the territory surrounding
the headwaters of the Nile. VIII they dis
regard either or both? Resting confident

Sc son for Matching and raising chick
ems If the whole brood-governor,
secretary of state, speaker, etc, etc.,

the chicks will need to be kept in cot
