bring as fortunate results as was the
case with Handel, the great musician.
His extraordinary resOluteneSS as a boy
doubtless led TO that great success
which crowned the later years Of his

age his father had occasion to visit a
son by a former wife, who was valet to

Of free coinage is that n very large
proportion of all bonds and other in
struments Of indebtedness is payable
specifically in gold. We are asked what
good it would do to restore bimetallism
since those debts must be met in one
metal only. Those who advance this
statement do not seem to realize that
the trouble lies in the appreciation Of
god.
If silver were restored to an equality
with gold as primary money the appre-
ciated quotation of the yellow metal
due to its being the sole money Of final
redemption would fall. Gold would
come down. Sixteen ounces of silver
would buy an ounce of gold. In rela-
ton TO all manner Of commodities gold
would fall likewise and a bushel of
wheat would exchange for as nearly
as much gold as it will now procure 1t
follows. therefore, that the redemption
Of bonds payable in gold could practi-
cally be made in gold or silver. An
automatic law would quickly adjust
the relations Of gold with other pro-
ducts Of human labor and strip the
metal Of the valuation given to it by
the selfish legislation in the interest Of
the gold owners.

SINGULAR RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Elevated Train Crashes Through a
Station and EaIIs to the Street

Station and Falls TO the street
A remarkable accident occurred about
two weeks ago in Paris, by which an en-
CINE and tender were precipitated from
an elevated platform a the Montparnasse
station. The train rolled into the train
shed at a rate of about thirty-five miles
an hour without being able to arrest it
sci, crashed through the bumpers at the
end of the track, as well as the front wall
of the station, and after travelling about
forty-hve feet tumbled into the street be-
low, the engine fairly on its nose. For
tunatcly at this moment the air brake was
put on and the rest of the train was pre-
vented from going over. 1t was TO this
circumstance that the 1913 passengers in
the coaches owe their lives. As to the

first shock and the only fatality, strange
to say, that resulted from the whole
affair, was the killing of a merchant in

shock. The cause of the accident quite

brakes, which, strange to say, are always
used on French trains, save in cases Of

Treasury Stock Is Sinking.

Recent Withdrawals of gold for export
by New York banking houses have re-
duced the balance in the treasury to $780,
439 ,O59, which is about $11 100000 below
the lawful reserve, and within $4,000
600 of what is considered the danger
point. The bullion in the vaults is valued
| at SOL OSS, 100 and the coin was $SS.013,-
O4S before the Withdrawals of Saturday,
| of which S50,33S, 139 represents outstand-
ing gold certificates This leaves a mar
! gin of less than S36,OOO,OOO in coin avail
able for the redemption of greenbacks
and other United States notes. All the
mints have been working steadily
through the summer coming gold with the
hope of escaping another such emergency
as occurred in February, when coin had
to be borrowed from trust funds to re-
deem notes and replaced with bullion.
The shipments of gold last week
amounted to So 267 900. and it is expect
ed that they will reach 100000 this
week unless something unusual happens
to affect exchange. 1t is believed too
that the flow eastward will continue ut
the rate of S3,OOO.OO0 or S4,000,000 a
week during the remainder of the year
and after the first Of January, when divi-
dends are payable, it will be even great
pletion of the treasury gold to S50,OOO.-
COO or S60,000.O00 before Feb. l, unless
some action is taken to stop il or replenish
the reserve by the sale of bonds. No aid
can be expected from the public revenues
The deficit is piling up larger and larger
every month.
The exports in October were only SD
100000 in excess of the imports, while
they were $23.6331 35 in excess during
the corresponding month last year For
the ten months of 1895 ended Oct. 81 the
balance of trade in our favor was only
$31, I'D, I49, while during the correspond
ing period in 1894 it was $96. 661 1896, and
this difference is not sufficient to settle
balances in Europe and meet mercantile
obligations. Assistant Secretary Curtis
went to New York last week to confer
with the bankers of that city concerning
this situation, and he was advised by
every one that it would be necessary for
the treasury to issue another loan in order
to maintain the Government credit until
Congress takes some action. The same
syndicate that has been supporting the
treasury all summer and manipulating
exchange so as to prevent the withdrawal
of gold is willing to come to the relief Of
the Government again on much better
terms than they demanded last February,

may judge by the conditions prevailing

recommendation is a failure.
The Director of the Mint has shown
that the world now produces as much
gold as its total product of gold and
silver in 1865. This means that the
worlds business is thirty years ahead

ALL WANT GOLD.

Everybody in New York Trying to Get 1t
to Hoard.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The treasury de-
partment has received the most convinc-
ing evidence of the widespread boarding
of gold. The condition already borders
on panic. Usually when gold is with
drawn for export the reports to the
treasury show that it has been taken out
by few persons But within week
the reports of the treasury have under
gone great change Yesterdays with
drawals made list of names
which would ill half col
umn in a. newspaper. The
sums taken ranged as low as $4,000
There was no uniformity about the
amounts, and few were large. 1t was
evident at glance that capitalists with
ready money were rushing to the treas
ury and drawing out gold to hoard.
The conviction is forced on the admin
istration that the treasury must go to a
silver basis. The president expresses the
greatest apprehension. He declares that
he will do all he can to avert this.
