might say that IT was a most scandaious
piece OF business that officers of the Gov
ernment should sell its bonds at sioiS'
when the present price shows mat inc
public estimates those same bonus
as worth sl22. But this woulu
be a very unfair and very super
fetal way Of looking al the case. Inc
worlds distrust OF our financial situation
had made 4; make raid after raid upon
the gold reserve in the Treasury until II
had become evident that the government
must be protested and drop TO
a silver basis unless some extraordi-
nary measure was adopted Mr.. Cleve-
land had communicated the urgency OF
the case to Congress. and had begged for
authority TO make a most advantageous
arrangement. The Popuiist element that
controlled Congress had refused him the
authority, and there was little more gold
In the Treasury to meet all demands upon
IL than had been drawn out in week
at some periods. The government was
therefore confronted with "A situation
that was almost desperate. But the very
desperation Of that situation made II i'm
possible for the government to sell its
bonds at anything like their normal
price. If we were to go TO a silver basis
the tumble would, Of course. carry gov
eminent bonds down along with every
thing else. since they would become pay
able in that same silver that would be
the sole money. 1t was under these civ
cumstanccs that the contract was made.
The best financial experts agree that II
the government had offered s''5.00O,000 OF
it's bonds upon the open market, it is
most questionable whether IL could have
got par for them II this had happened
it would most probably have precipitatod
the panic which every one was striving
20 avert.
When the case. therefore is looked at
Just AS ii was, il becomes almost certain
that some extraordinary measure ike
that resorted to was absolutely necessary,
or the country would have slipped down
10 the silver basis. and we should have
been plunged into the horrors OF the most
terrific financial panic that the world ever
saw. The contract that Mr.. Carlisle ana
Mr.. Cleveland made restored confidence
as If by magic. and ended absolutely the
drain upon the Treasury's gold. Business
at once commenced TO revive, and we
have a prospecting instead OF ruined
country. Fifty times eleven millions OF
dollars would have been small price 10
pay for the difference between the two
situations. and instead of condemnins
him, a grateful country will forever
thank Mr. Carlisle for his part in securing
the contract.

currency for the people.


There has never been time since
the close of the war when the gradual
retirement and cancellation OF the
United States notes would not have
been benefit to the country. II our
legal tender notes were retired there
Is abundant reason to believe that a
very large amount Of gold which has
been excluded from the country by
excessive use OF silver and paper in
circulation would promptly return to
take Its place in our currency and con.
stitute permanent part Of our me-

The secretary also favors the passage
of law allowing national banks to es-
tablish branches in small towns, with
view to bringing them closer TO the
people in parts Of the country remote
from large towns and cities, by which
their usefulness would be greatly en-.
HANGED.
The secretary, in closing his report,
says that 1t Is not probable that any
plan for the permanent retirement Of
United States notes and treasury notes
will be adopted that will not require
considerable time for Its complete exc
cution, and he therefore urges upon
congress the propriety Of prohibiting
any further issues Of such notes
or OF national bank notes OF less de-
nomination than $40, thus making
room in the circulation for silver coins
and silver certificates OF small denomi-
nations. This, he says, would increase
their use among the people and pre-

Alleged Attempt to Assassinate George
NJ. Pullman and r. II. Armour.
CHICAGO, Dec. l7-A bold conspiracy
to assassinate George NJ. Pullman and
Philip d. Armour came TO light yester-
day and every effort Is being made to
apprehend the perpetrators OF the plot.
Yesterday morning two packages
were received at postal station L,
directed to p, D. Armour and George
M. Pullman respectively, and the
packages were finally turned over to
Post Office Inspector Stuart for In
spcction. They proved to be internal
machines, which, had they reached
their destination and been opened
without suspicion by the men for
whom they were intended, would
have probably blown them into
eternity.
The packa res were taken up by Col
lector Philip kirlwood, Of station l..
One of them he found on the mail box
at Wabash avenue ana lith street and
the other at Wabash avenue and 2lst
street. The second machine was laid
on the box just as Krkwood APP
preached it to make his collection.
He saw man Of rough appear
ancc lay a package on the box and
walk away. When he reached the
mail box he found the package to be
similar to the one he had picked up Mt
l4th street and addressed in the same
handwriting. Each package weighed
about "a ounces and the poorly
scrawled addresses were alone enough
to attact the attention of the carrier.

COTTON FROM EGYPT.


Consul Paniield Saws 1t IL pecoming a Dan.
gerous Competitor Of the Unite
States.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l7.-lJnited States
Consul.General PanAeld, at Cairo,
Egypt, has ma dc report to the state
department calling attention to the
rapid growth of Egypt as a competitor
with the United States for the cotton
markets Of the world. At present
Egyptian cotton Is sold at Alexandria
for two cents per pound more than
the price of American cotton, and
owing to the superiority of the Egypt
ian product, it is being purchased in
quantities for export to the United
States The sales, which ten years
ago amounted to but ISIS bales, have
increased until, from the best
estimates, it is believed that
during the year beginning
September l. 1905, no less than
10000 bales will be shipped to the
United States, and as these Egyptian
bales are 50 per cent larger than the
American, the exports to this country
will really amount to $4,000 bales, ac-
cording to our standard.
