p THEY LIKE GOLD.

Philadelphia, July 23.---The United
States League of Building and Loan AS
sociations, in convention here to-day,
adopted the following resolutions:
"The United States League of Local
Building and Loan Associations in con-
vention assemblies declares:
First, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the interest of all share
holders of building and loan associations
in the United States demand that the pres
ent standard of values upon which our
monetary system has been based since the
resumption of specie payments in 1879,
shall remain unchanged and inviolate.
Second, That we believe that the in
terests of every class in the community
and especially those of the great wage
earning class imperatively demand that
every dollar in circulation, whether coin
or paper, shall be equal in value to every
other. II
"Third, That patriotism demands that
the dollar bearing. the mint mark of
the United States shall be the equal of
the dollar of the most advanced nations
and Ell titled to full faith and credit all
over the world and to that end it must
be maintained free from all suspicion,
debasement or reputation.

whether his successor will be Republic
can or Democrat Justice Field both
in point of age and length of service is
the oldest member of the court. He has
for several years been entitled to retire
upon.a. pension, but has .kept.his place
purely through .love for his work. He
loves the law, and his whole life has been
given to studying and expounding it. He
has made great name for himself among
lawyers, but his health has been poor for
long time and there have been reports
before this of his intention to retire.
With the exception of him the court..at
present is made up of men of much phys
ical vigor. EThe Oldest of them, barring
accidents, may be put down for at least
ten more years of active service. So that
if Judge Field should decide to retire in
time to enable Mr.. Cleveland to name his
successor, it might not fall to the lot of
the next President to make single APP
pointment to that bench. Judge Field is
a Democrat, although appointed by Mr..
Lincoln, and the belief is that naturally
he would.like to be succeeded by Demo-
crat. If, however, he should decide to
wait year longer the question would be
left in doubt till after the election in
November

THE PEOPLE ALWAYS KNOW.

When the people of the United States
start to thinking they are apt to reach
correct conclusion on any question. For
a long time they have allowed their lead
ers to manage the financial question and
the result has been very unsatisfactory.
President Cleveland evolved the idea of
a campaign of education on the money
question and the people, following the
advice of the administration, began to
study the subject until they have solved
it in way directly the opposite of the
theories propounded by the advocates of
monometailism. The representatives of
the people assembled at Chicago and
adopted Il platform in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and with Bryan and Sewall ut the head of
the national ticket they are going to win
in November All the signs point in that
direction; everything indicates that the
people know what they want and are 60
ing to have it. The men of old said that
the voice of the people was the voice of
God. The men of, to-day recognize the
fact that the people in the aggregate al
ways know what is best for them and if
allowed TO decide freely never make a
mistake. They see that the Government
of this country has drifted into unworth.
channels; they see that the voice of many
is suppressed and their will subordinate
ed to the wishes of the few. They see
that trusts and monopolies have corrupt
ed the republic to the core and that I'M
less the power is wrested from the rule
of the oligarchy of wealth ruin and misery
are before the great masses of the popula-
ton. No wonder that they are rising in
their might to bring about a change. No
wonder that under the inspiring leader
ship of the young giant OF the West they
are rushing from the farm and the work
shops to cast their ballots for free coinage.
which means a change of the long period
of poverty and depression to an era of
hopefulness and prosperity So rapid
and complete has been the change in pub
lie sentiment in favor of silver coinage

81 Representative Mercer, of Nebraska,
says the Republicans will carry that
State in November after hard fight.
This is a significant admission for the
secretary of the Republican Congressional
committee to make, in view of the trium ph
of his party in Nebraska in 1894; but all
the facts in the case tend to show that his
predictions, even thus qualified, will not
come true. The people of Nebraska, as
the recent splendid ovation to Bryan
shows, are delighted at the idea of having
a Presidential nominee from their State,
and as the Democratic candidate has
proven himself record breaker in his
contests for Congress, there is every rea-
son to believe that State pride, in connec-
ton with his phenomenal popularity,
will give him Il handsome majority in
November.

GOING UP.
The Bankers Come to the Relief of the
Gold Reserve

Gold Reserve.
Washington, July 23.-Once more
Treasury officials are feeling comfortable,
for at the close of business to- day the
gold reserve had been once more placed
safely over the 800, 100000 mark. This
was accomplished through the deposit OF
gold coin by the banks in exchange for
United States notes. The movement be
gan in volume last night and after the
department closed notice came that 81,
$50, 100 in gold had been deposited with
the sub treasurer at New York. To-day
81, 500, 900 additional came in, making
the total of gold contributed by the banks
up to the close of business in twenty
four hours $15, $4,000
This was added to the reserve of $50.
63l, 40 and brought the total up to S101,
SSl, 40. There was no gold taken for
export to-day, showing that the New
York bankers have control of the eX-
change market and are using their power
to protect the Treasury. The hoardings
also fell off, amounting to-day to only
1888, 300 in coin, while the arts took but
$50, 500 in bars.
The Treasury Department has been adj
vised that over S23, 900, 900 in gold will be
turned into the sub-treasuries by the
banks in exchange for legal tender notes,
to sustain the gold reserve. OF this
amount about S1S, 800, 900 is pledged by
New York bankers, 100000 by Boston
and 50, 000, 900 by Philadelphia. Further
aid is expected from Chicago and the
Treasury officials say there is no longer
the least excuse for a bond issue. :,
