The Dangerous situation of the Treas

The Dangerous situation of the Treas
ury.
The treasury department has made pub
lie this week a statement of the exact con-
dtion of affairs at the time the recent bond
contract was made From this statement
it is evident that the treasury was on the
verge of suspension of gold payments, and
very little delay would have brought the
catastrophe. Withdrawals of gold for eX-
port had been going on at an enormous rate,
the total amount taken from the treasury
for this purpose between Dec. l, 1894, and
Feb. IS, 1895, being $50, 1852, $50. But this
was not the worst feature OF the situation,
for during the same period there had been
withdrawn from the treasury about S43,
100000, which did not go abroad, but was
boarded at home. In other words, run
upon the treasury had set in, and was
growing daily. This meant that the conf
dence of the public in the ability of the
government to meet its obligations had
been shaken.
The first indications of general with
drawal of gold for the purpose of boarding
in this country were noticed on the 18th of
January. These increased rapidly, culmin-
ating on the 25th of January in total with
drawals of S7,156,04G. On the 2Sth day of
January the message of the President on
the urgency of the situation was presented
to Congress. On that day over $4,000, 900
was withdrawn. On the following day,
Jan. 20, over S3,OOO,OOO was Withdrawn,
and, owing to the failure of Congress to
act, or apparently to appreciate the situa-
tion, the Withdrawals rose on the 30th of
January to nearly s., 100000. On the pub

Congressman Hendrix, at the banquet of
the manufacturers of Kings and Queens
counties in Brooklyn Monday evening,
pointedly illustrated the difference between
the purchasing power of a silver dollar un-
der a gold standard and a silver dollar un-
der a silver standard, by the statement that
for a silver dollar of the United States
fifty cent meal could be bought at a MeXi-
can restaurant, and Mexican dollar would
be returned for change, and that this Mex
lean dollar would contain more silver bull
lion than the United States dollar.

The Philadelphia city election, held on
Tuesday, gives no sign of recession of
the great Republican tidal wave of last
November. After the most fiercely fought
municipal campaign in the history of the
city Charles f. Warwick was elected may
or by majority of about 10000. OPP
posed to Mr.. Warwick was eN-Gov. Robert
+. Pattison, clean and able Democrat,
whose campaign was managed by w. f.
Ilarrity, chairman of the Democratic ma
tonal committee. Mr. Warwick was as
sailed by his opponents with desperate vir-
ulence, aud the Quay influence was thrown
against him, but the hard sense of the peo-
Pile triumphed in clean sweep for the
whole Republican ticket.
The Canadians are worried over the
probable effect of the Chicago drainage
canal on the level of the great lakes. When
the canal is opened it is expected to draw
water from Lake Michigan at the rate Of
10000 cubic feet a second, and empty il,
with all the sewage of Chicago, into the
Illinois river, and thence into the Missis-
sippi. Chicago engineers claim that the
result of this flow will be to lower the sur
face of the lakes only three inches. Other
engineers say that the fall will be nine
inches at least when the canal is first
opened and will be greater later on. A
fall of a foot would be a serious matter in
many lake harbors, for it would necessi-
tate dredging and the rebuilding of
wharves, and thus entail heavy expense.
The resent passage Of the 'power of re-
mova" bill by the legislature of New
York, and its approval by Mayor Strong
! and Gov. Morton, mark a new departure
in an important feature of municipal gov
ernment in this country. The legislation
was passed under the section of the new
constitution of New York providing that
| special laws passed for cities of the first
class Chose having 100000 inhabitants or
more) shall be submitted to the mayors for
| approval. In case of acceptance, the leg
islation is subject to the action of the gov
ernor, and in cases of rejection may be
passed again by the legislature, subject to
the action of the governor. 1t is an appli-
cation of the principle of the referendum
in limited sense, and is intended as a pro-
lection against undesirable special legisla-
tion. 1t gives cities voice in the enact
ment OF laws in which they are specially
concerned. The power of removal bill
gives Mayor Strong absolute power to re-
move New York city officials, and is the
most potent instrument ever placed in any
mayors hands.

Our Debt to Europe.

''Is it true, / asked great thinker,
that England alone holds SO. 500, COO,
600 of United States securities, bearing
interest, including exchange, of 6 per
cent payable in gold?'
Yes, according to the public state
ments Of London statisticians. The Sec
rotary of the treasury says there is no
public record in this country showing
the amount of foreign investments
We must therefore go to Europe to
learn not only how much we are in
debt to Great Britain, but that at least
$500, 600, 900 additional of United
States investments are held in Franco
and Germany. This makes a total in
three countries of SO, 600, 600, 600, inn
posing an interest charge, including
exchanges, of $3.50, 900, 900 per annum.
A nice state of serfdom, isn't it?'--
