Gold and Gold Hugs.

Gold and Gold Bugs.
1t may be conceded that if you get
tie quantity of money in the country
down to the lowest amount on which
it is possible to transact the ordina-
ry business, then as you still further
diminish this amount you will in
crease the purchasing power of what
is left. But there is no accurate
means of determining what this min
imum amount Of money is, or of sta
ting the proportion between the di-
minution in quantity and the in
crease in value. The opponents OF
the gold standard say that gold is
peculiarly well fitted for being hoard
ed, whereby the quantity in cireula-
tien is diminished and its value con
sequently increased; and that the
gold standard thus places us at the
mercy of "Wall Street" which with
draws money from circulation in or.
der to make it more valuable; and
that when this is done it steps in and
reaps the benefit at our expense.
Many people believe such asser
tions as this because they sound fair
ly plausible; but they are not &C
plain when you come to consider all
that they involve. For example, q
man who boards money necessarily
loses interest on it. If he could have
loaned it at six per cent, then its
value must increase at least six pei
cent per annum to save him from
absolute loss. Now Wall Street is
composed of business men; however
great rascals they may be; they
won't put their money into either
stockings or gold bonds unless they
have reason to believe they will make
a profit on the transaction. Can you
think of any reliable source of infor-
nation that boarded money will APP
preciate at the rate of at least six,
or any other per cent per annum? II
you know nothing about it, and don I
know where to find it out, isn't 1t a
little unreasonable to assume with
out further investigation that Wall
Street knows how to satisfy itself on
this point?
There is another point to be no
ticed. The theory is that the gold
bug boards gold until it has appre-
ciated sufficiently to crafty his ava
rice and then he spends it. For this
purpose there is no difference between
gold and wheat. Do you think that
the price of wheat would continue to
go up, no matter how little there was
left in the farmers granaries, if ev-
cry one knew that a few operators
had millions of bushels in elevators,
ready to unload as soon as the price
reached a satisfactory figure2 Would
not this hoard Of wheat itself keep
the price DOWN. Now the amount Of
gold boarded can be determined Just
as accurately as the wheat in the ele
vators, and the gold can be gotten on
to the market vast deal quicker
than the wheat can. The assump
ton is that when gold is boarded
and thus removed from circulation,
the value Of what is left will advance
to the same extent as if the boarded
gold was entirely destroyed; but this
is plainly absurd.
The gold standard has no doubt
many defects and disadvantages.
But the above considerations would
indicate that it does not put us so
completely in the power of the "gold
bugs, whoever they may be-as
many unthinking people assume that
it does.-ShepherdSto,0n Register.

after thu il come tax law was declared un-

on the Pacific coast remain to be heard
FROM The order included not only the re-
turns of tndiyiduals and corporations, but
also all documents relating to their busi-
ness. These documents, containing so
many precious secrets will be safely stored
in one of the vaults of the internal rev.
enue bureau, AID will be sacredly guarded
from all pryins eyes. Commissioner, Miller
considers thsm public records beyond his
power of disposal. Although he believes
that they should be destroyed, he doubts
his authority to so treat them. Conse-
quently. they will be kept intact until
Congress determines what shall be done
with them. 1t is said that the Treasury
Department wir recommend their complete
destruction by tire or maceration.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS AND SILVER.
Mr.. LivingstOn's Statement as to the
Attitude of the Party.

Mr.. LivingstOn's Statement as to the
Attitude of the Party.
Representative Livingston of Georgia is
in the city to look after the interests of
some of his constituents. Speaking of the
situation in Georgia to a Star reporter to-
day, Mr.. Livingston said:
IF a vote were taken in Georgia today
on the silver question, and party lines were
wiped out, there would be hundred thou
sand majority for silver. The people in
Georgia are almost unanimous in favor of
silver, and they propose doing all in their
power to influence the next democratic ma
tional convention to adopt plank making
the white metal primary money.
Il do not mean by this that Georgia
wants free silver. I don't think the peo-
pie there want anything of the kind. They
simply want an increase in our per capita
circulation, so that We will have primary
money of an amount about equal to twice
the quantity of gold now in circulation.
There are today four thousand millions of
dollars of gold in the world. We think the
money of the world should be about double
that amount. Gold in the United States
at present amounts to 5000, ,O0O, 600. We
want enough silver recognized as primary
money 50 that our circulation will amount
to 81. .200, 600, 600.
THE manner in which the people in
Georgia propose to contest this question is
to influence the next convention in favor
of this enlargement of the currency. There
is no probability that Georgia democrats
will split from the party. They have moth
ing to do with the Bryan organization. If
they fail to control the democratic conven-
ton they propose to abide by the result
make the most of the situation and support
the democratic nominee. On the other
hand, If they carry the convention they
will expect the democrats who don't have
their own way to stay in the party. There
should be no bolting"
'sWill the democrats in Georgia consider
any proposition to nominate Mr.. Cleveland
for another term?"
by no means. Even If Mr. Cleveland in
dorsed their views on the money question,
they would not consider his name for a
moment. They do not feel that they can
trust him to carry out the platform Of the
party"

MORTON AS A CANDIDATE.

Secretary of State Palmer Regards
Him as 81 Likely Presidential Nominee
Albany Special to the New Yo.f Tribune
Il do not believe there is any foundation
for this talk that Gov. Morton has made
an alliance with ex-Presfdent Harrison to
bring about the nomination of another
Harrison and Morton ticket In 1885," said
John Palmer, the secretary of state, today
Mr.. Norton" he added, has been Vice
President once. and the Office probably has
no further attractions for him. Besides,
the fact must be considered that he was
elected governor of New York in 1891 by
the remarkable majority of 10000, ana
that his course as governor has been highly
satisfactory to his fellow citizens, ire
spective of party. l think that, popular as
he was when he became governor, he is
much stronger man today; for as the chief
executive of the state he has carried out
the general will in variety of ways.
Much as l respect Benjamin Harrison,
am convinced that Levi P. Morton Is the
logical candidate of the New York republi-
cans for the presidency. If he desires the
nc Elination he will have q solid delegation
from New York state to the national con-
vention. To my mind, that appears to be
the drift of republican sentiment in this
state"

BEGINNING WORK EARLY.

Gen. McAlpfn Engages Quarters for
the Cleveland Convention.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 24.-Gen E. A.
McAlpin. the candidate for president of
the National Republican League, soon to
meet here. has engaged as headquarters
six large front rooms al one of the leading
hotels here. He is from New York, and is
adjutant general of that states militia.
1t is repo tied that there are underground
influences at work which will land Gen.
McAlpin in the presidents chair One ar
gument used in his favor will be that as
the present head of the league, w. W.
Tracy, lives in Illinois, his successor should
be an eastern man. Presidential politics
may also figure in the election.
If the silver men prove to be as strong
in the convention as they expect they may
throw the presidency to a western man.
John Godnow of Minneapolis is Gen. Nc
Alpin's opporent. He would be the natural
favorite of the western men, and he is
likely to get the vote of Ohio. because he
exerted strong influence to bring the
convention to Cleveland.
There are rumors, however, that Mr..
Godnow may drop out of the race. w. A.
Mansfield of Indianapolis will oppose Sec
retary A B. Pumphrey for reelection.

nfnfstratiOn Lasts.
Justice Field of the Supreme Court is de-
termined to remain in that last court of
appeal as bulwark against the approval
of an income tax law as long as he has
sufficient strength to perform his duties.
Speaking to friends few evenings ago
of the probability of another effort being
made by the advocates of the income tax
to have thSt law declared constitutional,
Justice Field remarked that from the pres
ent outlook Justice Jackson would be the
first to be retired from the bench, and that
because of his age 1t looked as if he Jus
tice Field would be the next to go.
But l will not leave the BENCH" he said,
with earnestness, "if tia Lord gives me
life and strength, SO long as the present
administration is in power. The appoint
ment of successor to Justice Jackson can
not change the standing of the court upon
the income question, SO that tlNsre is no
dan. .er of the law heing declared constitu-
til al through such means. A judge ap-
pointed to succeed ME might be SO selected
as to make sure that he viewed the income
tax law a constitutional measure. BIT,
as / have said, If I am given life AMI
strength l will remain on the bench
throughout this administration to prevent
such result"
