This being the situation of affairs, the
attitude which Mr.. Bryan has taken to.
ward interna tional bimetallism is not
creditable to his good sense, or 10 his
reputation for honesty OF purpose. He
declares that he would be glad to see the
present administration bring about re-
monetizaiion of silver by international
agreement, but at the same time he N ocks
at ii as hum bug. and endeavors to con-
vince the people that 1t is a mere attempt
10 deceive.
II Mr.. Bryan really desires the remon-
etization OF silver, he should cooperate
with our Government in trying to bring it
about. He should strengthen the hands
OF the administration by seeking to add
10 the public confidence which it enjoys.
His course OF opposition certainly does
not aid the cause of the reconciliation OF
silver, and If it is to be assumed that he
has sufficient com nonsense 10 know what
he is doing, the inevitable inference is
that he does not desire reconciliation
under Republican administration.
Fortunately it matters little to the couu-
try what course Mr.. Bryan pursues. He
may do the talking but it IS William Nc
knlev who is shaping the legislation OF
the Republic. Every promise made in
the Republican platform is already well
advanced toward fultillment. The tariff
which is 10 protect our industries is in
sight, and tho International agreement
which is bring about remonetiz of

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLIsM.

1t was an unfortunate coincidence for
Mr.. Bryan that on the very day when he
made his speeches in San Francisco de-
nouncing the Republican party for Its
attitude on the money question and mock
ing at the platform which promises 10
bring about the reconciliation of silver
by International agreement, the dispatches
from Europe published on the same day
that his speeches were published an
nounced that the outlook for an agree
ment among the grea. nations is dis
tinctly favorable to speedy accomplish
ment of the desired end.
The monetary commission appointed by
President Mckinley, after having had
full consultation with the officials of the
French Governm ment, is now in London
and has been well received there. The
French embassy in London has been in
structed to cooperate with the American
embassy in giving every assistance posi-
BILE to the Com M issioners in their negotia-
tions with the British. This assistance
will be of great importance, and as it is
known that the mem bers of the Cabinet
with but one exception are in favor Of
bimetallism, it is altogether likely the in

made thorough study of sentiment in
various countries on the money question,
reports that the bimetallic movement has

CALIFORNIA INTERESTS.

While the passage of the tariff bill by
the Senate is an important victory for the
business interests of the country, it by nc
means puts an end to the controversy.
The bill is not yet out of the woods. 1t is
not certain that either the Senate or the
House will accept the measure as recon
structed by the conference committee,
and some time may elapse before it is
enacted into law.
In the closing struggle IT is more than
ever i'm portant for the California delega-
ton in Congress TO be on guard for the
protection of the interests of the State.
Among the schedules over which there
has been much controversy, and which,
therefore, are able to be changed by the
conference committee, are several which
materially affect the industries of our
people. 1t is not i'm possible that son e
effort may be made to arrange COM
promise by sacrificing these interests, if a
persistent fight is not made by Califor-
mans against any attempt of the kind.
Neither the bill as it came from the
House nor that amended by the Senate is
altoget ther satisfactory. The original bill
gave US better protection for our mines,
and the Senate bill gives us better protec-
ton for flu;t and wool. Ii should be the
aim OF our delegation to Incorporate into
the bill as finally adopted the best tea-
lures of both the House and the Senate
measures. Certainly they should not
readily give way to any compromise
which would lower the protection offered
by either House to any of the great inter
+S ind frio Of ho
The importance of a speedy enactment
of the law is recognized everywhere. So
long as it is delayed foreign goods will be
rushed into the country. They have al
ready been received in quantities suffi.
GENTLY large to postpone for a long time
the benefits which our producers may ex-
pect from the measure. Tuis being so,
the readiness of Repu publicans both in the
House and the Senate to agree upon any
compromise which will hasten the passage
of the bill can be readily understood.
The people of California will not inter-
pose any trivial objection to whatever
measure may be agreed upon, but at the
same time they will not be willing to see
their interests sacrificed when it might be
possible to arrange for an agreement on a
basis fairer and juster to Western in
terests.
1t is TO be regretted that our representa-
tive on the conference committee from
the Senate is a Democratic free-trader.
This is a handicap which will seriously
interfere with the efforts OF the Repub b.
lican mem bers OF the delegation to protect
our industries. 1t is not under the leader
ship of Senator White that We can expect
the best results. Nevertheless our Repub-
lican Repres sentatives in Congress should
do the best they can and surrender no in
terests of the State as long as it is possible
to obtain the full degree of protection
which 1T needs.

ISHAM G.. HARRIS.

The last twelve months have been dis
astrous year to Democracy. Death and
politics have com bined to remove from the
great councils OF the Nation SO many Of it's
ablest leaders that it is now almost bereft
of anything like genuine leadership in
Congress. On Thursday 1t was called upon
TO confront another loss when Senator
Harris of Tennessee followed to the grave
Co!quitt, Crisp and Voorhies.
Senator Harris was one of the last sur
viyors of that generation OF Southern
statesmen who after endeavoring to divide
the Union lived to return to Congress,
rake part in the reconstruction of the
South and play an important part in the
great work OF restoring harmony between
the people of the two sections.
A man of strong and forceful character.
raised in a com munity which permitted
greater degree than is possible in more
conventional society, Isham G. Harris be-
came early in life and continued to his
death one OF the most not BILE and pictur-
esque figures in Southern politics. He
was a horn leader of men and attained to
high office while comparatively young.
An ardent secessionist, he exerted all the
strength at his command to carry Tenne es-
see out of the Union, and fought as tiercely
and as vigorously as any man in the South
10 maintain the Confederacy which he
helped to form.
When the Uonfederacy fell Harris went
into exile shorn of prestige and property.
He returned TO Tennessee penniless to find
the State under the control OF his political
foes, Johnson and Brownlow, his cause
destroyed, his party demoralized, his
friends scattered and himself under in.
dictment for embezzling the property OF
the State.
1t is an evidence OF his courage and of
his resources that in the face of all these
obstacles he fought winning fight and
was able not only to regain all his former
political influence but to add to 1t and
make himself so completely the political
dictator of Tennessee that no competitor
arose to contest his election to the United
States Senate.
A Washington correspondent in dcscrit-
ing him recently stated that harris looked
much more like pirate than Senator.
The personal traits characteristic of the
fighter remained with him till the last.
He never became conventional man.
Nevertheless he was one Of that old school
OF Southerners who knew how to combine
fierce aggressiyeness with a great cour-
tesy OF manner. He was q confirmed
stickler for etiquette. He regarded the
traditions of Southern society and the
rules of the United States Senate as some
thing sacred. His respect for the laws OF
the Senate made him great authority on
all questions that arose concerning par
liamentary proceedings in that body. and
In recent years he has been looked to as
perhaps the highest authority on the sub.
iect in the Senate.
His loss will be felt outside the Demo-
cratic party, Tennessee will replace him

ENORMOUS LOSS OF GOLD.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdli-SIR:
Since it appears from the report of the Di-
rector of the Mint for the year 1896, page 226,
that our mines yielded So, ,059 ,946 ,769 in golo
between the years 1892 AMI 1895, aud that
according to the same auth hority, pa e AZ, but
$500, ,597 964, or only little over one-iourth
OF it, is even supposed to be in the country,
we are confronted with a fact OF startling sig
niicance if we seriously propose to make gold
Tie basis of our monetary system. as some OF
the sb est ana most determined men in his
country insist we must do and hence 1t be-
comes the duty OF us all 10 investigate this
matter most thoroughly.
Indeed, my infor nation leads me to believe.
ana l think can show. that much less than
o1e-fourth OF the gold taken from our mines
can be found or located in the United States
AMI that il does not require 1o5 years for
,hree-fourths of it to disappear forever as lost
and gone beyond recovery. In 1873, 1t VIII be
remember most exhaustive effort was
made to locate the approx innate stocks OF
money in the aggregate in the principal coun-
tries of the world" (pnge so, Mint report for
1896, and this will afford US a good starting
point in our inquiry, more especially as the
stats les of production, mintage, use in the
arts and sciences, exports and imports are
more complete since that date than ever be-
lore
The stock of gold in the United States in
1873 (page SOY is reported 10 be $i35. GOO, 900,
and IN 1896 $599, SOY 1854, an increase in
twenty.three years of $464, ,597 1854. or more
than fourfold. This is a fine showing on the
face of It. bu what would it have been If all
the gold which is known to have been taken
from our mines could be found and made
available 1or coinage? The production of
gold in the United States during the twenty
three years from 1873 to 1896 is reported on
rage so as $3.50, $50, 900, 10 which we must
add the stock on hand in 1873, amounting to
$135, 600 900, aud hence we would have $685.
$50 90, instead OF the $599 ,597, ,964 reported,
which shows loss in twenty-thrse years of
1866, ,O62, ,O36. or q yearly loss OF $l5, ,915,-
TAO SO, at wh ich rate the whole $3.50, ,660, 600
would disappear in sixty-one years as If lost
in the depths of the ocean. SO far as coinage
and use as money may be considered.
Just how and where our gold has thus dis
appeared during the last twenty-three years
is q matter of profound interest to all OF US.
but that su ject must be deferred, as 1t is too
larse to be taken up at this time. But the one
TACT wish TO impress on the public mind in
the present investigation is the enormous loss
OF gold year by year. SO that in siXty-one years
the last ounce of it would be gone, and unless
new gold is taken from the mines we should
soon have no gold whatever in use as money.
Some of the ways in which gold disappears
and is no more available for monetary purposes
will be considered at another time.
