PATRIOTISM AND BUSINESS.

At last the financial institutions of
the great business center Of the coun-
try have taken the action which they
might have taken long ago, but which
is timely now to avert the catastrophe
that for a moment threatened the
country through the renewal of finan-
cial agitation. We believe that those
interested in financial stability are
row in control Of the situation. The
banks have already deposited in the
treasury enough gold to bring the re-
serve once more above the 500, 000, 900
mark, and 1t is said that a total of
$23, 100000 is in sight available for treas
ury uses. This makes good all the in
roads upon the treasury stock since
the latest scare began, and puts the
government in a strong position. 1t
is even stronger than 1t looks, and may
become absolutely impregnable; for the
banks have taken, in exchange for the
gold furnished, treasury notes, which
are the source Of all this trouble. Gold
is withdrawn from the treasury by pre-
notes for redemption. Now. there have
been accumulated in the treasury re-
serve itself some $120,0o0.000 OF the
greenbacks, and the banks hold large
portion outstanding. If their present
policy is followed, the draft upon gold
stocks will be made, not on that of
the treasury. but on that possessed by
the aggregated banks themselves.
Whenever a bullion exporting firm
presents greenbacks for redemption at
the subtreasury and takes out gold,
the subtreasury can pass these along
to one of the banks and get back the
gold, and the bank will rpiace the le-
gal tenders In its reserve as substi-
tute for the gold that It has furnished.

When Once the Convention Got
Down to 1t.

ST. LOUIS, July 24-The silver con-
vention, after waiting two days on the
Populists, realized this afternoon, when
the conference Of the joint committees
proved failure, that the Peoples
party men were not in st. Louis to
make trades. They accepted the stu
alton, adopted the unsatisfactory re-
port, and proceeded to get down to
business. In two hours they had adopt
ed their platform, nominated Bryan
and Sewall by reclamation, and were
ready to go home There was some
wrangling during the day, but all the
silver men wanted one thing and only
disagreed in the way to get at 1t. 1t
was decided, before the convention adj
jeurned, not to join with the Demo-
Gratis in notifying Mr.. Bryan at New
York, but to meet him in Lincoln and
tell him what had been done.

Special to the Globe. e ft@
ST. LOUIS, July 24.-The silver peo-
pie worked up a good deal of enthusiasm
before six p. m. over the nomination
of Bryan and Sewall They had de-
layed action in order to have some
influence with the Populists, but the
conferences were failure, as the
Populists would not listen to the advice
of the silver plutocrats. So the silver
men concluded to finish upon their own
account When Bryan was nominated
they had "a woman in white in the
person of Miss Pierce, and gave a stage
setting by tableau with Miss Pierce,
clad in white, in the centre, a large
portrait of Bryan In the background
and the American flag and silver ban
ner on either side of the handsome
young lady. The dignified silverites
danced and cheered until they were
hoarse before the tableau. About
eleven of the Northwestern silver dele
cation will leave for home in the morn
ing. BY tomorrow night the whole
riot will be over.

Morris Tribune.
John Lind seems to be somewhat of = flop
per" himself. First he said he wouldn't, and
then he said he would. Probably John has
had a vision since his first declaration, of a
decidedly silver tint. John Lind is a smart
man, and we dare say If he had come for
ward in an honorable way he would have
stood some chance of being elected But
when man like Lind tries to take advantage
of his popularity to divide the Scandinavian
vote for the express purpose of aiding the
Democratic or Populist party he will find out
that the voters are not all fools, and will
not be fooled by any such scheme.

In other words, the policy is now be-
ing carried out which was known long
ago to be feasible If the banks would
undertake 1t. That policy is the alb
sorption of the legal tenders in the
bank reserves of the country. Each
bank is obliged. bya law, ito keep GER
tain percentage1ef its deposits on hand
In cash to insure it's solvency and abil-
'ity to meet all Immediate demands
upon 1T. 1t has been customary. as a
precautionary measure. ever since the
discrimination between different forms
OF our currency, began. since the silver
agitators compelled j men to believe that
the gold dollaa might become more
valuable than the silver dollar, for, the
banks to amass gold in their reserve
funds. If. now. they turn this gold
over to the. treasury and receive from.
it in exchange the lsgal tenders that it
has redeemed, putting the latter away
IN their vaults, it is obvious that these
cannot be presented again for redemp-
ton, and so used to draw down the
gold reserve. The endless chain will
presently stop Its operation because
1t will cease to be endless. The treas
ury ana the banks together will hold
so nearly the entire amount of paper
money directly redeemable in gold that
the run on the reserve must cease.
This action of the banks is, as we
nave said, both patriotic and business
like. 1t contributes to their own safety
by assuring the solvency of the federal
treasury. AT the same time the. strong
combination that has been formed to
prevent the future export of gold for
speculative purposes will tend to check
any extraordinary demand that might
arise from foreign sources. Thus pro-
tected against incursions at home or
abroad, the treasury will presently be
in stronger position than it has for a
long time. The bond sales made by
the administration have created a sur
plus large enough to absorb a consid-
cradle portion of the dangerous paper
money, and the cooperation of the
banks will do the rest This shows
once more, in a striking manner, how
easily the natural business interests of
a country can meet and combat even
the most unfavorable conditions If they
are permitted to do so. without further
pern1cious legislation. Given the as
surance OF no future imitation of the
currency by cheap paper money, which
we think will be very positively set
tied next November, and neither capt.
tai nor labor, whose interests are equal
and identical in this matter, need fear
that even our present heterogeneous
and makeshift monetary system can
not be secured against collapse.

The school Censns.

While the Commissioners of several coun-
ties are quibbling about the payment of as
SCISSORS for taking census of school children,
as provided by the Compulsory Education
Act, until the liabilities for such payment
has been determined by judicial opinion,
the Commissioners of Schuyll1ill county will
have the school census taken and will pay
the assessors for the work. This work will
be done next month, the Commissioners hav-
ing provided the necessary books for the
purpose. The Schuylkill county Commits
sioners, after learning that several counties
were not making any preparations to have a
census taken until the question of pay was
settled asked County Solicitor Ulrch for an
opinion on the matter. He informs the
Commissioners that the county is liable for
the pay of assessors in making the list of
school children, according to the provisions
of the act of 1895.

The Coal Trade.

The general coal market is reported
quiet from all parts of the country just at
present and is likely to continue so for
some time to come. 1t is yet too early to
hear much Of any new business going on,
and the gid is so entirely one of shreds and
patches, as it were, that it does not amount
to much. There is somewhat of good to the
coal men in the continued climatic condi-
tions of such character as to burn up fuel,
and this ought to put the market in good
shape as soon as the season does open, for it
means less of stock on hand. The Anthracite
operators are keeping the output down sufii-
GENTLY to prevent any such return to un-
profitable prices such as we had year ago,
and if they will but keep to this idea they
will be able to show balance on the right
side this year. As it is, there is plenty of
coal to meet any and all requirements, and
at prices that are low when the quality of
the coal is onsidered.-Saward's Coal Trade

Anderson a valuable assistant, but as soon as
