SECRETARY CARLISLE has been quoted
lately as saying that there will probsb-
" be no necessity for the issue of
bonds. If he said so he is right. There
has been no necessity for issuing bonds
since the second advent of Mr.. Cleve-
land as president. Money has been
borrowed, not to pay government ex-
penses, but to maintain a redemption
fund in idleness. "The way to resume
is to resume" said the late Horace
Greeley, The way to redeem is to re-
deem with the redeeming agency on
hand. The mass Of the people are sat
isfed with the paper. They prefer it,
in fact. They do not want gold. Per
haps 100000 or s500OO0GO Of gold
viii be enough for the gentlemen who
have a speculative turn of mind. If
that is not enough let them have s25,-
100000 or 100000 more before we
get excited about the condition of the
reserve. The practice of keeping a
large pile Of gold in the treasury for
the mere purpose of promoting the
bond policy, and giving capitalists and
syndicates control Of the financial
management, is getting tiresome.

BENEFITs THE EAsT.

A recent press dispatch from China
says that the British cOnsul-general to
China discusses the silver question as
follows;
"UndeF the influence of cheap silver,
the volume of export continues to ex-
pand and the European consumer
reaps the benefit of their cheapness in
gold prices. The fall in silver and low
freights have combined to enable the
majority of the staple exports of China
to be laid down in Europe at about
one-half the cost at which they could
be sold twenty years ago."
The above item gives peculiar EN-.
phasis to the one concerning the sale
of Mexican silver bonds. For years
past the bimetallists of Europe and
America have contended that the rise
in the value of gold was operating as
bounty upon exports from silver-using
countries. The facts here stated prove
the correctness of that claim. The
manner in which it does so is so simple
as to be seen at a glance when atten-
ton is directed to it. Briefly stated, it
is this; Silver has maintained prac-
tical stability of value as compared
with commodities in general For
twenty years past, upon an average, an
ounce Of silver would buy bushel of
wheat in India and lay it down in the
English market. It will do the same
now. Therefore the east Indian can
get no more silver for his wheat at the
present time than he could twenty
years ago. Nor does he lose anything
by reason of that fact for his ounce of
silver in rupees is just as much and
just as good money in India as it ever
was. With the American, however, it
is different. He can get just as much
for his wheat as the East Indian can,
and no more. That is to say he can get
an ounce of silver, or its equivalent in
gold, for bushel. But measured in
American money which is of the gold
standard, that ounce of silver is only
worth about one-half as much as it was
in 1873. So that while the East Indian
is receiving the same price as formerly
for his wheat, the American only gets
about half as much as he used to. The
very moment silver began to decline in
the English market it acted as an in
ducement to the English exporter to
buy wheat in some silVer-nsing coun-
try rather than the United States. He
could first buy the silver at a profit,
and then buy as much wheat with a
given amount of silver as he ever
could. This is exactly what the En-
glish consul general means when he
speaks of the low price of silver ex-
panding the trade of China. The great
staples of the United States are and
for years have been sold in the Euro
pean market at silver prices and in
direct competition with silYer-using
countries. Nevertheless the gold adyo-
cate continues to roll his eyes in horror
at the thought of the United States
getting upon the silver basis. With
him the silver standard is good enough
for everybody but the money-lender
and the fortunate few who have been
benefited by the appreciation of gold.
