frontier. At Ell Ouatia he met Tuaregs,
who persuaded him to send back his
escort and camels and take . Tuareg
escort and camels. He retained three
Arabs and i've negroes.
At eight p. N. ON the sth inst, after

The Difference.

Speaking of the difference between
our situation and that of England the
New York Financial Record says:
''Great Britain is great creditor ma
ton, which means that there is in the
main a normal current Of gold flowing
toward London all the time. This cur
rent is reversed, and then only te1u-
porarily, when British capital is loaned
in sufficient quantities to carry gold
outward; or British expenditures
abroad for the nonce exceed the pur-
chases made of her. The natural trend
Of gold is toward her shores; so her
great bank can curb any outward ten
dency of the yellow metal by taking
the customary measure--eXcept in the
very great emergencies that arise at
long intervals when extraordinary
measures are needed.
considering the conditions affecting
the United States, a great debtor nation,
as to other nations, how different a sit
uation we find? To be debtor nation
means that the natural trend of the yell
low metal is outward, its normal flow
away from our shores. When that cur
rent is reversed and gold comes to us,
the reversal is but temporary in its ma
ture, and brief in duration.
I'VE can permanently retain gold il
this country-our distributive share of
it-only by putting our general price
level enough lower than the price level
for things in general in other gold
standard countries to render gold more
valuable here than elsewhere; that is,
gold must have a greater purchasing
power here than in other Countries
purchasing power enough greater to
offset the fact that we are a debtor ma.
ton from whose shores the yellow
metal naturally tends to depart. A
contraction of the currency drastic
enough to accomplish this beloved pur.
pose might be made by following the
wishes of some bankers. Is it, however
worth while to face the misery, suffer.
ing, and the political and social up
heavals which such Il contraction would
cause, merely to keep yellow metal

metal from which to fabricate coin, il
