Considerable amounts in circulation on the Pa
cfc Coast and in far Western STATES will not
be drawn away under any circumstances. and
an offer Of bonds under such conditions as are
set forth in the Presidents latest circular Will
certainly elicit bids from hnanciers and bank
rather than from the people who hold gold
in small boards. But when the financicrS and
the bankers bid, they take most of the gold from
the Treasury Intentionally or Internationally,
and either directly or indirectly If they try TO
buy gold by paying premium they thereby
inctc other persons possibly in considerable
number 10 draw ont gold in place of greenbacks
before the premium gets higher
Foreign holders of American securities are
not destitute of sense and great many OF them
see the matter exactly as London journal does
which said, day or two ago. that this country
could not avoid constant loss of gold If it en-
corragcd imports Of merchandise exceeding its
exports Neither can the Treasury expect to get
or TO keep gold if its revenue is kept below its
expenditures. The remedy which meets the
case is not TO borrow more money, but to raise
a larger revenue In such a way as to restrict
importatons of foreign goods. If that can be
quickly done. il is an open question whether the

But if the Senate has month to waste in iinan-
