Mrs. Stevens hes recently permitted hei

elegantly. expressed herself 10 reporter
for the New York Morning Journal:
."rhe papers have no business to poke
their noses into this Astor matter.
"Why can't great families have their
feuds without the rabble raising such
row? Mrs. Aston is lovely woman anu
so Is Mrs. John Jacob. and you may be
sure they wouldn't do anything without
sufficient cause. They have their griev-
ances. Just like other great families. We
are all human.
"WilI society take sides In this matter!
OF course not; society will mind its own
business, which IS TO be graceful ana
sweet and charitable.

such warm affection of .he American

press drove him out of this country. just
as they are driving others. j know two

which, owing to the press, isn't ut to live
in. / would leave America to Its fate my
self, If / could. Why, there's no justice,
no law, here.

my words"
Now, II the newspaper press fans 10
take In the full meaning Of this warning
then Il will clearly be responsible Tor
what happens. Mrs. Paran Stevens mas
done her duty, and the bosom OF Euro
pean arstocracy Is there for her to ny

In our streets. But why should Mrs
Stevens fly 10 foreign aristocracy! why
shall she not first resort to the domestic
article?
We are establishing an aristocracy right
here at home which, though little
younger. is to be just as noble as any
they have abroad. Here, for instance, IS
our society Of Colonial Danes. No lady
can secure admission to this most ex-
elusive association unless she can prove
undoubted descent from one Of those set
tiers who came to this country when

home or desire for adventure sent num-
Der OF Englshmen on their travels
abroad. Then. there are our Daughters
of the Revolution. If one hundred years
Of ancestry and lineage can make any
body noble and aristocratic, surely these
are. Mrs. Stevens will fall into a seri-
Gus error. therefore, il she bestows her
countenance upon foreign aristocrats.
when we have a growing society Of them
right here at home, whose members are
certainly entitled to as high rank in the
aristocratic scale as Mrs. Stevens Is likely
to find those European mobiles that she
will ever see. Meantime. the press Is
going TO hang on to its old fogy. Demo

Just as much entitled TO respect as an
other. and The Times is gong TO take the

,,.r,r,, Tn some measure, this foreign
resrzsne NAV be duo to the necessities OF
holders arising from the hard times pre-
yailing throughout Europe, and something
Is chargeable to our railroad suspen-
slons. To anyone, however. acqualhteu
with the views Of foreign bankers ana
the temper OF English and German hold
ers OF our obligations, there can~be no
second opinion that the great cause OF
these extraordinary Withdrawals OF capt.
tai lies IN distrust as TO whether our
monetary system shall res. upon gold
basis or a silver basis. In a word, the
moral of these startling movements Is
that we are now paying the penalty OF
party concessions to the silver faction In
politics.
We have repeatedly stated that the in
furious part of the movement for Tree
silver Is its attack upon the standard OF
value. This is the important thing for
men 10 get into their minds. IL Is move
ment 10 thrust into the money OF the
country an unlimited quantity OF legal
tender silver dollars worth really only
afty cents each. This threatens to lower
the standard of value by driving all gold
dollars out OF the circulation and leaving
the silver dollar, worth really only fifty
cents 10 be the standard OF value. The
result Is that business enterprise, COM
menced when the standard OF value, or
starting point was a gold dollar, with
reference to which all steps in the trans
action were calculated, ends and hnds
that settlements are to be made in dol
lars. il is true, but dollars worth only
half as much as dollars were worth when
the enterprise was undertaken. Business
refuses to have any transactions whilst
this threat Is held over It. Business SIM
ply comes to a standstill. and the country
dies of dry rot. We feel constrained TO
repeat here the figures that we published
a day or so back. The railroad gross
earnings of the United States fell, in the
year 1894 $50 600 below what they
were in 1893, and bank clearances were
SIS. 900 10000 in 1894 against $500, 200, 90
in 1893 and $4,000, 10000 in 1892. These
figures speak for themselves. We shall
never have prosperity again while there
is any vitality In the move for free sill
Yer. We shall go on from bad to worse
while II lasts. until we sink to the level of
Mexico or one of the South American
republics.

Gold and silver. Included in gold ore.
In dealing with this case, silver and
its ores will be treated as merchandise.
II Is so treated actually in trade, and is
not used otherwise than as merchandise
in settling balances 1t will be seen by
examining the foregoing table that our
exports for the calendar year 1891 ex~
ceeded our imports by slSl,T20 000. They
exceeded the imports in the preceding
calendar year SIPS, 10000. We have, there
fore, exported in the two last calendar
years $S09, $4,000 worth more of merchan-
disc than we imported.
When We think of this great balance OF
slSf ,720, 900 in our favor for the past twelve
months, the export of gold In that time
becomes truly startling. The export of
gold for the twelve months amounted to
SOL $4,000 while the imports were s20,
$4,000, showing net gold export of $751;.
10000. We have thus parted in the last
year with lSl,72O.0co of merchandise and
ss1. 200 600 of gold. or s2s2. $4,000, for which
we have received no imports at all. That
represents the amount We have con-
tributed during the past twelve months
to paying obligations abroad of one sort
or another. 1t Is estimated that in ordi-
nary times We pay Europe about 100000
900 per annum on account of dividends
and interest on our securities held there.
All Of the 500, 600 above this sl00,OoO-

or it represents money which has been
withdrawn from this country In some
way, so that 1t is plain Europe drew

$l6O,s20Wo in an irregular and abnormal
way. The New York Journal of Com
merce remarks upon this state of facts:

show. upon the basis of computation mere

those two years averaged $l00, 600 per
annum less than those OF last year.
