WASHINGTON, Dec o.-The statement
Is made by persons who are among those best
qualified to judge, that in the absence OF
legislation to relieve the financial situation,
another bond issue is altogether probable
within. the next few months at the farthest.
The present condition OF the exchange mar
ket and the commercial situation generally
1t is said, point unmstakably to further
large Withdrawals Of gold, and unless some
thing is done to prevent the usual heavy
exports during January and February, which
for the last two years have forced the issue
Of bonds to recoup the depleted gold reserve,

The available cash balance in the treasury

imately sl75,5O0 900 and as the government
has realized from its three bond issues about

causes the government would now be with
out one dollar in the treasury and in addition
would have outstanding obligations amount
Ing to about s6,500,000. In the meantime
the excess OF expenditures over receipts
amount to about sl60OO,O00.
The exports Of gold during the last four
months have been as follows: August,
sl6,267 900; September, s17424,0O0; October,
$2165, 900; November. $4,000 900; so far
during December, $3.50, 900, making a total
of 500, 10000.
So far this calendar year the exports of
gold amount to about S95, 900. 900. In 1894
the exports amounted to $l0l, ,Sl9 1924.
From the best information obtainable 1t
Is believed that the present month will show
surplus of at least Sl000,OOO, which will
leave the deficit for the fiscal year to Janu-
airy 1 about SIS 200, 900. 1t Is expected that
this amount will not be materially increased

THAT DIFFERENTJ1L DIRTY.

1t Is noted in connection with the inn
position of the differental duty on
sugar that the members of congress
who were engaged in this sort of lcgis-
lation at the bidding of the Sugar trust
were repeatedly warned that the levy
ing of this duty would cause Germany
to rctaliate. The German minister, II Is
recalled filed IA protest with Secretary
Gresham in which he predicted exactly
what has occurred. The German
press and the republican news
papers of this country urged
that the duty would certainly
furnish the German agrarians with n
pretext for demanding of that govern
ment the exclusion of American cattle
and higher duties on other of our pro-
ducts. But not the slightest attention
was given to these warnings and the
sugar refining monopoly was given what
it asked for and gets all the benefits from
it. This was not the least of the blum
ders of the last democratic congress.
Now Mr.. Cleveland suggests that it
may become necessary for the United
States to adopt Il policy of retaliation
upon German products, or in other
words inauguratc n commercial war
the very last thing that ought to be
thought of so long as another way can
be found to remove the trouble of which
we complain. The simple remedy is to
abolish the Objectionable duty. If it
We're of any value to the national treas
ury there would be reason for con
tinuing it, but the returns from it are
meager, and in proportion to the injury
done one of our most important inter
csts altogether insignificant. There ap-
pears to be no reason to doubt that If
this duty should be abolished Germany
would promptly remove the restrictions
upon the importation of American cat
tie, but that government Is not likely to
be induced to do this by our threat of
retaliation. 1t is true that If such policy
were adopted a severe blow could be
struck ut German trade with the United
States. which has recently been grow
ing, but this is not the method which an
enlightened nation should pursue and it
is not in harmony with the character
of the American people. Having made
IL costly blunder we should correct 1t
and not attempt to remedy it by making
another blunder which could hardly fail
to be more costly.

THE FORTY-FIFTH STATE.
Industrial Strength of Utah mt the
Threshold of Statehood.

Washington Post.
The final report of the governor Of the ter
rtory of Utah Is document of unusual in
terest, because it shows the conditions under
which the new state of Utah will soon take
her place in the family of states. The varied
resources Of the territory, their wonderful
development, and the rapid increase Of popua-
tion give abundant promise of a great future.
Governor Vests report shows that the as
sessed valuation Of property in Utah has in
creased from S23, ,2S9, ,1S0, in 1875. to 500 503,-
243 in 1894. The increase of population from
1880 to 1890 was 44.4 per cent. and from 1890
to 1895 it was 14.15. The total population in
1890 was 1905, while it is now estimated at
247 1924. The, total number of industrial con-
Germs is placed at $50; the number employed
at 5.O54; the wages paid at s., ,027 11S; the
capital invested at $5,4762 246; value of raw
material used at 81. .610 03S and the value of
product at S667S11S.
This is a splendid showing of the growth
Of industrial resources during the last ten
years, but the commercial interests of the
territory have had a still more marvellous
development. Ten years ago they were COM
paratively insignificant, but they now present
an imposing array. The invested capital IS
estimated at $14551 ,3f5; sales at So, ,S65, GIL ;
wages paid at S2,6S5,794, and the number OF
concerns at 1874, with 5,O23 employed In
Its bank statement the report places the ag-
gregate capital at $5,011, $50, and the deposits
at 50, ,6S9, ,267.
No state has ever entered the union unds
more favorable auspices than will attend the
formal admission of this new but strong COM
monwealth. 1t is pleasant to note that the
retiring commissioners, the governor and all
othsr territorial officials agree in the opinion
that polyGamy is dead beyond the possibility
OF even an attempted resurrection; that the
new state will be as loyal as any of her
older sisters, and that che possesses, in her
sturdy, thrifty population and vast and varied
resources, all the requisites Of a great and
prosperous commonwealth.

kENTUckY's REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR

kENTUtk Us REPJBLfCAN GOV ERNOh.
Today Mr.. Bradley, the first repub-
lican elected governor of Kentucky, will
be inauguratcd and the event will be
epochal in character. The gentleman
defeated the hitherto invincible Ken
lucky democracy has been active in
politics for many years and has demon
strated that he Is Il splendid fighter. In
national politics up to the present time
MI Bradley has only helped to make
candidates. In 1872 he was presidential
elector and made a losing race in that
year as Il republican candidate for con-
greSs. In the winter of 1875, before he
was of eligible age, he received the en-
tire vote of his party in the legislature
for United States senator and in 1876
he again made the race for congress
and was again defeated, though receiv
ing the largest vote ever given Il re-
publican candidate in the district. Mr..
Bradley was delega feat large from
Kentucky to the republican national
convention of 1880, seconded the NOM
ination of General Grant and was one
of the famous BOG. He was chosen the
same year as member of the republican
national committee for Kentucky and
made speeches during the campaign in
several states.
1t will thus be seen that Governor
Bradley has il strong record as n poll
tician and he is undeniably man of
fine ability, who will give his state,
there is every reason to expect. good
Bradley as possible candidate for vice
president next year has not been active
recently and perhaps nothing more will
be heard of 1t, the probability being
that he will prefer to fill out his term as
governor, where he can be useful rather
than become vice president and be
shelved, for while 1t Is a great distinc-
ton to be vice president of the United
States, for man who desires to be
force in politics the Office Is not de-
sirable one.
The people of Kentucky are to be CON
graduated upon having Il republican
governor and 1t is not to be doubted
that they will learn to like the change.
To Governor Bradley republicans every
where will send greeting, confidently
believing that his administration will
increase his claim to popular confidence,
