"With natural resources unlimited in

national success and greatness, our pro-

financial policy and needless disregard
Of sound monetary laws nor should the

is hardly disputed that this predics-

NO one in any degree responsible for the

"The real trouble which OonRronts us
iS q lack Of confidence, widespread and
constantly. increasing, in the continuing
ability or disposition OF the government
to pay it's obligations in gold. This lack
Of confidence grows to some extent out
Of the pslpSbls and apparent swbaFrRss'
ment attending the efforts OF the gov
ernment, under existing lRwV, to pro-
cure gold, and, to a greater extent, ont
Of the impossibility Of either keeping 1t
in the treasury or fulfilling obligations
by it's expenditure after it is obtained.
The only way left open to the govern
ment FOR procuring gold is by the issue
and sale OF bonds. The only bonds that
can be issued were authorized nearly
twenty-five years ago, and are not we'll
calculated to meet our present needs.
Among other disadvantages, they are
made payable in coin instead Of spsOit
ically inRold, which, in existing oOndi'
tionF, detraCts largely and In an increSs'
ing ratio from their desirAbility az in
Vestments 1t is by no means certain that
bonds Of thls description can much longer
be disposed OF at price oreditable TO the
financial character Of our government.
The most dangerous and irritating fea-
ture Of the situation, however, remains
to be mentioned. It Ia found In the
means by which the treasury is de.
spoiled Of the gold thus obtained with
out cancelliDg g single government OBJ
Zig alton and solely for the benefit Of
those who profit in shipping it abroad
or whose fears induce them to hoard 1t

lion dollars Of currency notes of the gov
ernment for which gold may be de-
msRded, and cuEiously enough the law
requires thst when presented and In fact
redeemed and paid in gold they shall be
rsiasued. Thus, the same notes may do
duty many times IN drawing gold from
the treasury, nor can the process be ar
rested 30 long as private parties profit BY
it or otherwise see an advantage in rs.
peating the operation. More than 800
million dollars 10 these notes have 81.
ready been redeemed in gold, and not
withdrawing such redemption, they are
sll still outstanding.
Since the l7Eh day OF January, 1884,,
our boz dsd interest bearing debt has
been increasing 100 million dollars for
the purpose Of obtaining gold to replen-
ish our gold reserve. Two iasues were
made, amounting to 80 million dollars
each-one IN January and the other in
November. As q result Ut the hEst Is
sued there was realized something more
than 58 million dollars In gold. Between
that issue and the succeeding one in No
vsmber, comprising q period Of about
ten months, nearly 103 million dollars
in gold were drawn from the treas
ury. This made the second Issue necss
SSry, and upon that, more than 80 mil.
lion dollars in gold was again realized.
Between the date Of this second issue
and the present time, covering 8 period
Of only about two month";, moro than SO
million dollars In gold we're expended

the lapse OF time. The obligations upon
which this gold has bssn drsWn from
the treasury are still outstanding aud
are available for use 10 repeating the
exhRustiDg operation at shorter inter-
walls as our perplexitiss accumulate.
"Conditlons are certainly supervening
to make the bonds which may be issued
to repleniSh the gold less useful for that
purpose. An adequate gold reserve is in
ell circumstances absolutely essential to
the uphOlding Of our public credit and
to the maintenance of our high national
character. Our gold reserve has sgain
reached such stage Of diminution as to
require its speedy reinforcement. The
SggrAvation which must follow pres
ent conditions and methods will GER
tRinly lead to misfortune and loss not

Of our people who seek employment aS q

A Rome cabegram of Monday says:
Cardinal Gibbons had a private audience
lasting forty minutes. OF the Pope to-
day. Upon emerging from the s1,"ence
the Cardinal said that he had not seen
the Pope since 1886. and was surprised at
his excellent health. Cardinal Gibbons
also said that he was astonished at the
mental vivacity OF the Pope, who, IN
spite OF his age, has the strength OF his
intellect unimpaired. Continuing. the
Cardinal remarked: He showed surpris-
ing freshness of memory, recalling
even the small details of religious, social
and scholastic matters concerning the
United States, and especially the Diocese
of Baltimore
Cardinal Gibbons was asked what ques-
tons had been discussed during his
audience of the Pope, and he said In
this matter I must preserve the utmost
reserve" The Cardinal added that the
Pope had invited him To further audiences
before he left Rome In order that they
might discuss the present and future
religious and social conditions OF the
United States in which the Pope assured
the Cardinal he took the keenest interest.

Cathedral at Baltimore, and the Rev.
