The True Remedy for the With
crawal of Reserve Gold.

| In his article in the April Forum, en-
titled deficiency of Revenue the
Cause of Our Financial Ills," Senator
Sherman indisputably our greatest liv-
ing tinancier, has embodied note
worthy contribution to contemporary
political literature. Some of the facts
cited by him in support of his con-
| tention that lack of revenue and not
| structural inadequacy of our currency
system is the cause Of the present mis-
| chief are given herewith. We think
they are superior to comment in their
| eloquence and effectiveness:
| To the proposition by President
| Cleveland Of the conversion Of the
United States notes and treasury notes
into interest-bearing bonds, the sena-
tor interposes the objection that thi.;
plan would add $500, 100000 to our in
terest-bearing debt. besides seriously
contracting the volume of outstanding
| currency. Already the Democracy has
increased the national debt, since March
l. 1893, counting principal and interest,
$5O1, ,S4S.SS0, whereas under Republican
rule. from August 31,, 1866 to March I,
1893, that debt was decreased $1,796. 1885,
034. Senator Sherman doesn't believe
in such a rapid augmentation of Uncle
Sans Indebtedness.
He points out that the Mckinley law
did not reduce revenues below eXpendi-
lures, but provided a surplus of $37,- =
239, ,762.57 on June 80, 1891, of $9,914, ,453. 66
on June 30, 1892, and of $2,341, ,674.29 on
June 80. 1893; whereas, the secretary of
the treasury reports deficiency of $685.
SO3,2605S during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1894; one of $42, 500, ,223. IS for the
year ended June 30, 1895, and one of
$17,6l3539.24 for the six months prior
to December !, 1896: in all, $780, 222, ,Ooa2,

THE COAL BARONS
Would Like to Capture tho Canadian An
thracite Fields.

New York, Nov. "A Sun special
from Toronto, Ont, says:
Four months ago there was discov-
nv of coal in fertile district of Algo.
ma, western Ontario. 1t did not take
long for the report to spread, and in a
very short space of time the
Lehigh valley people had dispatched
experts to the scene of the discovery
with instructions to test the coal
thoroughly, and II 1t was, in
their opinion, of the quality repre-
sented, to at once buy up the sur
bounding country and secure an OPP
tion on the district.
But when the Lehigh Valley people
had made up their minds to buy it,
they found Canadian capitalists had
got In before them and got claim on
the property. The Lehigh Val
lev combine has not giveL up
hope of securing the coal
mines. A proposition is now
before the syndicate In which the com
bine offer to pay more than 100000
if the present holders of the options
will sell out to them the whole district
which the syndicate has now secured
The advisability of accepting the offer
| is being considered. The syndicate
would prefer to start Canadian com.
pany with 81, ,000,O 600 capital stock.
Mr.. VIM. Wilson, representative ol
| the Canadian syndicate, has gone te
New York to meet capitalists there
who may offer more for the propert,
than the Lehigh Valley. The coal il
OF good quality, and its discovery il

great eonhagration at Guayaquil,
Ecuador.
On the night OF October the post
and city of Guayaquil was visited by

we except that of Nero's Rome.
The fire is stated to have originated
in suspicious manner in the store OF
Messrs. Massanouvich & Rowski, two
North American Jews Their store
was located about the center of the
city. At the time strong breeze,
known as Ell Morrow, was blowing,
and it did not subside for 60 hours,
long after the frery element had
devastated the whole of the city
to the north and about two
thirds Of the public property and
nearly all OF the commercial quarters
were destroyed. Four banks in the
city were raxed as also were three out
Of the four newspaper offices, the Gus
.omhouse containing some sl,hOo, ,0ot
worth of goods and the church o.
San Domingo, relic of the
Spanish occupation. The hrs
spread with indescribable rapid
ty and at no time was the tir'
department able to cope with it. i
simply burned itself out. Only fv'
people have been known to have los
their lives. 1t was stated that in
launch, laden with furniture, whicl
caught fire and was swept down will
the tide to the island OF Puma, tiv
sisters OF the Sacred Heart perished
but this could not be verified.
1t is estimated that $1,000 person
were rendered homeless. and that tn

About fortnight after the fire tll

opened and all securities, ETC., wei
, found intact.
