The August statement Of the bureau OF sta
tistics, covering The imports and exports OF
merchandise gives tn. hest possible explana-
tlon Of the large Imports OF gold The increase
Of more than sls,6u.DU In merchandise ex-
ports and the decrease OF s!l,,OIt % in mer-
chandise imports, as compared with August
last year, prove that the movement Of gold to
this country Is the result Of natural condi-
lions. The trade balance In favor Of this
country In August amounted TO more than 49,
ON'Ol In addition to this we have exported o
large amount OF silver bullion, which must be
paid for In gold, and In the same time the sale
Of American securities by foreign holders has
been trifling, while the tide OF American tour
lists Is setting toward the United States, and
with their return the spending Of tourists
money abroad comes to an end. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that upwards of eA,00,,00
gold has already been imported, and that more
than $50 900 more is now on the way here or
under engagement for importation.

Fusion Between Republicans, Gold Demo-

Fusion Between Republicans, Gold Demo-
crats and Populists Said to be Practical
ly Arranged.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE politi-
cal situation in Texas Is growing ex.
ceedinyly interesting. The republican
state committee is rapidly perfecting
an organization on a scale heretofore
unknown in the south. The recent
Fort Worth convention authorized the
newly-elected chairman Of the state
executive committee, E. II. R. Green,
to appoint committee OF three,
with plenarv powers, to direct
the campaign, and it is generally
understood that the "plenary power"
clause has reference to the much
talked-of fusion with the populists
and gold standard money democrats.
Several important conferences between
the populist and republican leaders
have been held, and long after mid
night last night the republican leaders
were seen in conference with members
OF the gold standard democratic exe,u.
tive COMMITTEES. 1t is generally
believed that an understanding has
been reached whereby the republicans
and populists and cold standard demo-
Gratis of Texas will cooperate.
