The Treasury Department is kept rather
busy these days refusing offers of gold that
are made to it from various quarters Here
Is another sign of the prosperity that has
come upon the land. The abundance of
gold In the treasury means that there is
plenty of that sort of money in the CEN
tiers OF international exchange When there
is lack of gold in these places the treas
ury is raided and the gold flows out. The
demand for gold comes from foreign trad
ers and is caused by the fact that the bal
ance OF trade is in favor of foreign coun-
tries. The balance of trade belongs to the
country that sells more goods than it buys.
such is now the case with the United
States. Its goods are flowing to Europe
and other consuming sections of the world
at rate that has completely reversed the
trade conditions that prevailed for three
years and upward. This is an era of SELL
ing rather than buying in this country, so
far as the rest of the world is concerned.
Hence the abundance of gold here, for it
has poured in to balance the international
exchanges, which have been in our favor
for some months. The selling nation is the
prosperous nation. Internally the market
is on the rise. internationally the ad-
vantage is all with this country, and that
advantage affects every industry in the
country. ard the farmers along with all

Grnde-Cro.sinx Promises.

In recently published account of a con-
ference between the Commissioners and
representatives Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company on the subject of grade
crossings it was stated that the corpora
tons agents assured the authorities that
they were willing, even eager, to do all in
their power to make the present crossings
safe while plans for an overhead structure
were being prepared and matured. The
promises to the Commissioners were doubt
less intended to create an atmosphere OF
friendly feeling between the agents of the
road and the officials with whom they were
negotiating. Meanwhile, the Commission
ers are said to have in preparation a new
regulation that will cure the evil as far as
local legislation and prosecution can do So
The promises of the railroads officers
should not operate to postpone action on
this new rule, either in respect to its
prompt PRONUNCIATION or its rigid enforce
ment. Such a move will best develop the
not harm the corporation in the least. If
the latter are genuine, the new rule will
not harm the corporation in the least If
they were made to serve the purposes of
the hour and then to be forgotten the reg
ulation will prove an additional demonstra-
ton of the need of relentless prosecution
until the last of the grade crossings is per-
manently abolished
