GOLD AND BUSINESS NEEDS.
Immense Increase in the Supply of
Go1d-Trade Balances.

Two years ago it was maintained by
some who weighed the subject seriously
that the gold standard placed the bust
ness of the world upon too narrow a ba-
sis and unduly appreciated the measure
of value. A survey of the situation re-
sulting from the decision of the people
to stand by the 100c dollar is entirely re-
assuring. Gold is piled up in the United
States treasury beyond any previous
mark. The banks have more in their
vaults than they care to hold Any one
desiring to exchange notes for gold is
a welcome visitor Two streams of gold
have been running for some time into the
United States, one from the mines. the
other from importations. Nor is Europe
suffering for gold. Its stock is at the
maximum and the mines of South Africa
and elsewhere add TO it constantly. Rus
STA has experienced no difficulty in OBJ
adopt the only standard that is recog-
nized throughout the world and the only
one not subject TO loss. fuctuation and
confusion of values. The alleged scarcity
of gold and its appreciation when tested
by prices is found to have been wholly
imaginary. Prices have advanced and
business expanded since the inestima bic
verdict of 1896
Though gold is plentiful in the United
States. it is not a fayorite for circulation.
and this fact leads to a realiza ton of
how much business is transacted without
the actual transfer of money. Interna-
tional trade is chiefly conducted by an
adjustment of balances. We buy from
South America and Central America
S1OO.W0,0O0 a year more than we sell
there, but the difference is not shipped in
gold. Spanish America owes Europe and
Europe owes US, and the process of ex-

SOUND ADVICE.
Duty of the Gold Democrats to Their
Party and the Country.

w. D. Bynum. who has recently resigned
the Craftsmanship of the national commit
tee of the sound money Democrats. has
given to the members of that organization
some sound advice as to the course they
should follow in their campaign. He
points out that all signs lead to the con-
ciusion that unless the fused Silverite and
Populist factions are thoroughly beaten
this year they will take complete control
of the Democratic party. and two years
from now will reaffirm the Chicago plat-
form and renominate Bryan.
From these premises. which are hardly
to be disputed. Mr.. Bynum draws the
conclusion that it is the duty of all gold
Democrats to assist in utterly defeating
the Bryanites. aad to do this he declares
there is no other way than that of support
ing the Republican tickets. To give an
ineffective vote to Independent candidates
or to refrain from voting at all, would be
an indirect support to the fat money fu-

The only important field left in the
United States to foreign manufacturers
of tin plate is that occupied by the plate
used in manufacturing articles for ex-
portation. The law permits a repayment
of 80 per cent. of the duty paid on inn
ported tin plate to persons who use the
plate in manufacturing articles which are
exported, and exporters of coal oil, canned
meats and similar articles utilize consid-
cradle quantities of foreign tin plate in
the manufacture of their cans used in
exporting these domestic products. This
consumption Of tin plate for the manu-
facture of articles which are in turn ex-
ported amounts to about 13S, 100000
pounds per annum. In 1897 the amount
of tin plate re-exported was 139, 246,13O
pounds, and for the fiscal year just end
ed 137, SS7 $40 pounds. Deducting these
"draWback' expectations of 1893 from
the total importatiOnS of that gear, IL
will be seen that only SO, 764 ,775 pounds
of foreign tin plate went into domestic
consumption in the United States during
the fiscal year 1893, against an average
domestic consumption of nearly SOC CO.
COG pounds per annum prior to the begin
ming OF the manufa cture of this article in
the United States.
Having almost completely supplied the
home market for tin plate, our manu-
facturers are now beginning to turn their
attention to the foreign market, and dug;
ing the past year have made a small but
promising beginning IN the expectation
of their domestic production of tin plate.
The following able shows the exporta-
ton of American tin plate during the
past nine months:

REDUCED PLURALITIES.
Some Important Figures from Sep
TENDER Elections,

tC"oCI AiSStiOhes
The official returns just at hand from.
the recent September state election in Al
kansas confirm the view heretofore ad-
yanced in the Sun, namely, that in all the
earlier elections this year the falling off
III the plurality of the successful party
may be ascribed to the failure of many
voters to take part in a contest practical
ly predetermined.
In Arkansas the relation of the three
political parties to each other is very
clearly defined. The Democratic party
has long been dominant there, controlling
practically all the offices, state and To-
cal, and having had a solid Democratic
delegation in both branches of Congress
for many years. The Populist party in
Arkansas is an organization maintained
by the feryor and sincerity Of its oppo-
sition to the Democratic administration.
but separated from the Republicans by
the repugnance of the Populists to CO.
operate with a party which draws much
OF It's support in the Bear state from the
ranks of colored voters. Unlike neigh
boring states, Arkansas is without cit
leg. The capital city, which is also the
largest town, had by the last census q
population of only 25.GOO.
The conditions which obtain IN Ar
kansas made possible a fusion between
the Democrats and the Populists on the
eIectoral ticket two years ago without
sacrifice of the Populist organization.
State elections are held in Arkansas in
September, the term of the governor and
all state officers being two years. Presi-
dental and Congress elections are held
III November. In the contest of two
years ago in September the Democrats.
the Republicans, the Populists and the
Prohibitionists each had a full ticket in
the field. This year the same parties
made similar nominations, and this is
how the vote for governor in September.
1896, compares with the vote for governor
in September. 1898.

Gov. Jones, the Democratic nominee
both in 1896 and 1898, had $4,000 plu-
rallty two years ago, and only $4,000 plu-
rality in the election of two weeks ago.
but the relations of the parties to each
other remain substantially the same as
before. There is a reduced Democratic
plurality on diminished popular vote.
In the November contests of this year
in such of the states as are uncertain
there may be reduced pluralities, but
there is not likely to be diminished vote

ESTIMATED.


1t will be observed that in each year
since 1892 there has been an annual in
crease of about SO per cent. in produe
ton of tinplate in the United States,
and that since that time there has been
a steady fall in importations until those
of 1898 were but one-fourth of the aver
age annual importations prior to the date
at which the manufacture of this article
in the United States began.
The decrease in the amount of money
sent out of the country in the purchase
of tinplate is even more strongly marked
than that relating to the importations.
The value of tinplate imported in 1899
was S21, 222 ,653, while that for 1898 was
but $500, 14S, being but one-sixth of the
amount sent out of the country for this
purpose in 1889.
The following table shows the value of
tinplate imported into the United States
by years from 1889 to 1898 and the aver
age value per pound. 1t viii be observed
that the average price per pound has
fallen over 81 per cent. since 1891:

A leading Democrat Of Wisconsin has
written the La Crosse Chronicle. Demo
cratic journal of the sound money sort, in
these brave and hopeful words: II am
glad indeed that there are still a few
Democrats who refuse to bow the knee to
Baal: few who believe that party is a
medium for expressing, not for prostitut-
ing personal convictions; few whose love
for party is not greater than their love
for country, and who refuse to sanction a
great wrong for party advantage Let us
stand firmly where we are. sooner or later
the party will swing back to us. but
should it not do SO, it will not be our
party"

Ihus the Whole value Of american for
elgn commerce has grown by $3.50 GO0,-
oOo, but the expansion is entirely due to
the increase on one side of the account.
The imports have fallen heavily; but, on
the other hand, the exports have in
creased SO enormously that instead of
being slightly behind the imports, rs they
were only nine years ago, they are row
over 5000, 100000 ahead Incidentally
the following figures, which are given by
J.. w; Gross in letter to the Times, pub
lished on August 16, are extremely in
