BRITISH cruisers have seized two
cargos of American -four off the
coast of South Africa on suspicion
that the -four was for the Transvaal.
Suppose it was? Neutral nations
have a right to deal in all kinds of
merchandise. If Johnny Bull
thinks to drag Uncle sam INTO this
South African muddle. he had bet
ter first consider on which side the
Americans would fight. Sam
thrashed Johnny once for cutting
up just such didos in America as
he is doing in Africa. This was
over a hundred years ago but there
is plenty of the old stock left.

MONETARY sTRANGENCY.

A Washington dispatch says:
Secretary Gage will not discuss
the question of what further action,
if any, he will take to relieve the
monetary stringency. The gravity
OF the situation is thoroughly APP
preciated by the Treasury, but just
what will be done it is impossible
to predict, though it is probable
that some measure of relief will be
afforded by increasing the Govern
ment deposits in national banks.
An offer to purchase another
block of Government bonds may be
considered, though the results of the
last offer were not encouraging.
Officials think that in time of
stringency the Government ought
not to be expected to offer more
than the market price for its bonds.
1t is apparent, however, that II
bonds are to be bought more must
be offered for them, as under the
last offer the Government received
only $2O,OOO,0O0 of the 25,0OO,0OO
which Secretary Gage was willing
to buy.
Treasury officials attribute the
present stringency largely to the
fact that business is prosperous and
is absorbing large amounts of cur
rency that in less prosperous times
would flow to New York and would
be available for loans. 1t is agreed
that if the present conditions con
tinue New York must get along with
a smaller amount of currency than
formerly, and business must be ad-
justed to meet the new conditions"
The last paragraph of the above
is worth reading twice. In it pros;
perity is given as the cause OF hard
times by the treasury officials. This
is a new argument by the gold
bugs, but it will probably have
many adherents. Anything they
say now seems to 60.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1899-12-23

THE House passed the Currency
bill this week by majority of 40
votes. This does not show that t. e
idea Of establishing the gold stand
ard is unanimous by any means,
but it does show that the monied
men have control of enough votes
to pass one of the most iniquitous
measures ever conceived since the
nf silver. Whether
the measure will be passed in the
Senate remains to be seen, but it
probably will, although the fight
against it will be bitter.
