WHERE THE GOLD HAS GONE.

The RothschildS' syndicate bound
Secretary Carlisle in an agreement
that he must not make public the date
! the new bonds We're TO be paid for.
The reason for this pledge was fear
| upon the part of the syndicate that
the gold of the world might be cor
nered. The reason for such an appre-
| hensiOn arose from the foca, we'll
known to them, that the demonetiza-
ton of silver had set the money mon
gers of the world To boarding gold
against the day when it should COM
mand premium because of its aD-
probation and scarcity. The time now
| is when gold has almost disappeared
from general circulation.
A London correspondent Of the New
York Herald gives the facts touching
concerted action to tie up gold and
embarrasS America, which are unques-
tiOnably true:
Just as your fund has gone down. the
gold holdings of the repositories here
nave filled up. Give more than casual
glance at the figures and you will be as
tonished by the showing. When the
government had over $3.50 900 GOO on hand
the foreign gold holdings were considered
ample, so far as Europe's own estimates
and calculations were TO be relied upon
But the telling fact is that every European
power of the first consequence has been
assiduously engaged ever since in accum-
ulating the yellow metal on an extensive
basis.
The increase in three years in the hold
ings of gold by the bank of Germany has
been 600; Bank of England, SO, co.,
600; Bank of France about 500, coo, eco;
Bank of Russia nearly 100000 600; total,
80, 100000, and the governments, Austria
especially, have been buying or otherwise
getting, and putting in reserve. hundreds
of millions more; so that now most of the
small gold basis, on which Europe and
America is banking. is unavoidably locked
up, and the locking up Of what money
lenders control would leave little for
those, who would be short billions of gold,
if a corner was attempted Such a cor
ner is likely TO come if We still try to
balance ourselves on the narrow basis
of gold.
While these nations have been piling
up gold the United States have during
the same time lost. The shipments from
the United States have not been regular
TO any one European country. Ship
ments have been made to England for a
while. Then of sudden there has been
a change TO France. Then Unexpectedly
Germany-Berlin and Nienna-has been
the drawee. Between whites, Russia has
doomed up.

IT'S THE SAME OLD GAG.

No opportunity to kick Kansas ever
goes unutilized. Sunday morning :
dispatches announced To the world
that the Chicago board of trade had
subscribed several thousand dollars for
the relief of the destitute of kansas
and Nebraska The dispatch then
gives the names Of the counties 10
which the funds had been apportiOned.
and not a single one of the counties
named can he found in Kansas They
are all in Nebraska, and the money
was raised for western Nebraska suf-
ferers. Why was the name of Kansas
coupled in such a connection: If the
army worm should destroy the crops of
Texas, and the grasshoppers clean up
Colorado both disasters would be lOcat-
ed in Kansas. 1t all must come either
from the force Of habit or designed
righteousness. both ineXcuSable.

THE GOLD OF SHYLOCK.

The Eagle, in demonstrating the APP
probation of gold, as measured by the
Shrinkage of every other value, has
often called attention to the fact that
a pound or hatful of silver would
purchase as many days of labor. as
much land, as many bushels, pounds
or dozens of any product save that Of
gold, as it ever did. Some time since
the lower house of congress named Il
committee instructing it to ascertain
and report back to the house the prob
able causes of agricultural depression.
The report has been made and is now
public property. Among other things
that committee finds and declares that
''silver bullion today has the capacity
TO purchase as much wheat, cotton.

modify as it ever had. and therefore
the depreciation of TIE white metal
means simply the depreciation of every

ception-the gold of Shyiock."
