THE REAL CAUSE


or Gold shipments DumbIy Ignored by
ths Administration - Small Brain Gu
pacIty Illustrated.
To the Editor Of the Intelligcncer.
sIR:-The small capacity Of the pres
ent administration IS again illustrated
by the pleasure expressed BY treasury
officials at the Increase In freight rates
for gold shipments by the At@h'"
Steamship Companies,
This increase Of freight rates was
Looked upon by these little hnanciers
as another means OF keeping the gold
reserve above theb Ond Issuing point
II Is not known that the shipping
companies have been subsidized by the
government officials, but. Judging from
previous chickering's, and pusillanImouS
methods pursued. for the purpose OF
staying the outflow Of gold, tt Is not an
unreasonable deduction to attribute the
Increase OF freight rates on gold snip
ments to these pseudo statesmen.
In keeping with this mastery ability
exhibited In the management OF freight
rates, Is that other equally efficient
method. OF adding unc-elghth of one
per cent to the premium on gold bars
withdrawn from the treasury.
There Is one other original method
Of retaining the gold reserve that Is
worthy OF mention. 1t apears 10 the
Democratic stateEmen that one great
cause OF the gold shipments Is the lower
rates at which money may now be had
In the loan markets, These low rates
are caused by the general stagnatlun
in business and lack of demand Tor
manufactures purposes. il Is said by
Democratic treasury officials that one
great cause Of the shipments is the low
rates OF interest. Now, to remedy this
cause of depletion these same great
minded hnanciers hit upon the remedy
OF raising the interest rates upon our
citizens for the purpose Of retaining the
foreign gold. By Withdrawing severa!
millions Of dollars from the national
Repositories. This withdrawal OF gov
eminent money from the markets pro-
duces d stringency that has the desired
effect OF raising interest rates thereby,
according to Democratic reasoning, les
SEEMING the drain upon the treasury gold.
Notwithstanding all these make
shifts for the repression of the gold
shipments, they still continue and are
likely TO continue under present tariff
regulation. The real cause of gold eX-
pOrtntion Is dumbly ignored.
The same little brain policy that de-
YIsed 4 two-cenL stamp tax on playing
cards. that bargplned and pawned the
credit and bonds Of the government,
and that subjected the greatest nation
on earth so the humiliation Of depend
Ing upon the favor aud assistance Of a
hnlf-dOZen money lendsrs-this IS the
cause Of all our financial troubles.
