HOW ENGLAND DOES IT.
America Pays Double Tribute t.
European CredItoEs-The MIX An
the British Gold COeoanut.

As bearing on the present gold inn
portatiOns q comparison OF British
and American trade which we find IN
the Philadelphia American is interest
ing. These statistics OF trade show that
during the calendar year 1897 the PeO-
pie Of the United States sold S356, 1885,
664 worth more Of merchandise to for
eigners than they bought from foreign
ers, there was was exported from the
United States in excess Of imPOrtatiOns
S256,5e9 Of gold and SOS, ,5S5, $40 Of sill
yer, or a total balance put to our credit
by net expectations Of merchandise,
gold and silver Of $3.50, ,24O, SOB During
the same year the British people bought
from foreigners merchandise to the
value of e157,O55, DOB in excess Of what
they sold TO foreigners, there was
shipped from the United Kingdom
and imported into the United King
dom nearly 4 e62,OOO,OOO Of gold, but 50
nearly did exports balance imports
that Britain gained all told Just e2s7
Of gold while she lost E Gas, ,s9T of sill
yer. Thus there appears against the
British people for the year 1897 deb
It balance on account Of their foreign
trade Of e156, ,4O6, 1893, the equivalent Of
sT61, ,OOO, ,OOO.
Thus the trade returns show the
United States to have been a creditor
on the years business Of 3S2,OOO,OOO,
the United Kingdom a debtor of S761,-
OOO, 900. Thus we have sharply con
trasted the difference between the PO-
sitions of a creditor and a debtor na-
ton The United States had to provide
S3S2, ,OOO,O in produce on account Of
her foreign debt, the United Kingdom
received ST61, 100000 worth Of produce
on account of what she has lent in
times past. Thus we have the one, a
debtor Of England and Germany and
Holland, etc, paying S3s2, ,OOO, 900 to its
creditors, we have the other, a creditor
Ofthe world, receiving S761, ,OOO, 900 from
its debtors.
The milk in the British gold cocoa
nut is very nutritious Through the
workings Of the system forced upon
this country by the British bondholders,
the farmers and producers Of America
are made to pay double tribute to Eu-
rOpean creditors. At single gold stand
ard prices, the United States has TO fur
nish Europe S764, 100000 worth of ex-
ports to meet its obligations Or, in
other words, under bimetallism Eu-
rope, which means England, would
have to pay this country 1882, ,OOO, 600
more cash on goods than it now allows
for the American products its people
need. No wonder England stands as a
stone wall against the free coinage Of
silver, and refuses to give its consent
to this country to adopt bimetallism.
The wonder is, however, that the peO-
pie Of this country have submitted 50
long to England's dictatiOn, and have
permitted themselves to be robbed go

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
Sure to Be Found, Says Mr.. GOzzIetOn,
If One Only Takes the
Right Road.

ffThe longer live the more firmly I am
convinced" :" said Mr.. Gozzleton, that man
who wants q fortune has got to do some
thing besides wish for it. Fortunes, large
and small, are shy, very shy In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask
ing, however polite and graceful and ear
nest the invitation may be- We might sit
out on the veranda from now till dOOmsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one OF
'em that came along and ask 'em all IN, but
never one Of 'em would stop They might
want to come IN, but nothing short Of actual
cOllaring would bring 'em IN The fact Is
that If we want fortune we've got to work
for It.
'fAIen have made fortunes, to be sure, with
out working Oilmay spout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore In his land,
and so on. But such cases are so few IN
number that they don't count; the-chances
OF our getting rich In that way are really
not worth considering If we would be rich
we must work for It. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There Is practically no other
way
''The man who idles away his time, or fails
TO make the best possible use of it, stays
poor; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at 1t Is bound TO get
ahead Y. Sun

THEIR FEVER ABATING.
COnsressmen Not NOW Anxious to &c
on Record as Supporting the
Gold Standard.

The Individual members of congress
are evidently not so anxious to 60 upon
record on the currency reform ques-
tion as are the gold standard managers
to put them there The latter gentle
men are thoroughly convinced Of the
absolute necessity Of preparing a clear
cut" issue for the autumn elections, but
those members Of the house Of repre-
sentatives whose future political ex-
istence depends upon the results Of the
campaign are not so sanguine Of the ex-
Pediency of drawing the lines too tight.
1t is their OK that is in danger Of being
gored.
Hence the announcement that, "OW-
ing 10 international complications" ac-
tiOn upon the new currency reform
measure recently reported by the sub
committee on banking and currency is
extremely improbable at this session Of
congress. It is added, however, that
''the way is admirably prepared for eff
fective remedial legislation next win
ter" This may not be exactly that
brand Of aggressive warfare so loud
" heralded but recently as the future
policy Of the republican party upon the
financial question, but it is undOubted
" sound political judgment. He who
fights and runs away, may live to fight
another day
Members of congress who desire to
return 10 the scene Of their usefulness
at Washington display extreme wisdom
in refusing to 60 before the country
upon any such issue as that contained
in the new currency reform bill. Out
side of Wall street, there is not pOlit-
ical thOrOughfare in the country upon
which che cOntraptiOn would staud up
long enough to get even a fair start.
A government currency founded upon
private assets is hardly the sort Of
honest money" for which the people
Of this country are seeking just at the
-present time
That the republican managers fear
to press the financial issue at this time
is an extremely significant and reassur-
ing fact. That they dare not go upon
record in behalf Of the gold standard
ard national bank conspiracy is the
most conclusive evidence Of the
strength Of the bimetallic cause And
while they have admirably prepared
the way for next winter, the people
may do a little arranging upon their
own responsibility during the interim,
in manner which VIII decidedly alter
the situatiOn.-Denver Times-Sun.

&C, e. Not Abnted.

Senator Cafery, Of Louisiana, recent
" declared: ''I consider the outlook
for currency legislation quite hope
less No man who does not meet and
talk with the silver people begins TO
realize the infatuation Of the sixteen
to one advocates. The craze has not
abated; it has increased among those
who believed in it two years ago. In the
south it has taken hold very much as
secession and prO-slayeTy possessed the
people years ago II seems to me sfaEaf
some Of our southern siIverites are as
ready to fight for free coinage as in 1SGO
they were ready TO fight for a govern
ment pledged to protect slavery. Cur
rency reform, I fear, must wait upon
that realignment Of parties that seems
to be as inevitable as IT is desirable"

Inst Whnt He Wanted.

One Of the first men to reach San Fran
cisco with a hoard Of KiOndilze gold was an
Irishman named Finnegan, who had been
very. poor before he struck IL rich, and who.
consequently, was unfamiliar with many OF,
dinary uses of a life Of luxury.
''Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen eye
sters," be said, airily, as he took a seat IN
one Of the finest restaurants IN Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him, and
FInnegan, looking about him for something
to put on them, and hardly knowing what
the something should be, spied bottle Of
TObascO and proceeded to season the bi-
valves, not wisely, but too well.
ImpalIng an oyster on his fork, he
thrust 1t into his mouth, then leaped to his
feet with terrific roar Of pain and began
dancing about and yelling ike a madman.
''See herei" cried the proprietor, rushing
to the table, keep still, or III put you Outla
'P-p-put me out. is it2 OF wish yez would
put me Out!" yelled Finnegan. ''AIe in

that a young man could not spend his
