THE GREAT CHANGE IN SIX YEARS.
Philadelphia Ledger, May sist

Philadelphia Ledger. May sist
We are indebted to subscriber for
calling our attention to the following
opinion of the Untitled States,' en-
pressed in London Truth by its brill
liant editor, Horny Labouchere, and
republished in tho Ledger of September
18th, 1885,
"ln many ways tho United States
have educated the world in politics,
and ! for one do not hesitate to say
that their scheme of government is tho
best that has ever been established by
nation. But in nothing do We owe
more to the Americans than for their
having afforded us the great object
lesson of State pursuing the even
current of its way without that med
ding in the affairs of other States
which has been the bane of European
Powers. NE
Here we have country, rich,
powerful, industrial and commercial,
yet never troubling itself with what
happens outside its frontiers, or an
nexing foreign lands on the plea Of
philanthropy, or on the ground that in
some centuries its area will be too
small for its population, or in order to
what is the resultY No one dreams Of
attacking the United States or picking
a quarrel with them.
"The lesson to be learned is, that q
State should rest satisfied with pro-
noting the well being of her own citi-
Zens and leave it to other States to
promote the we'll being of theirs. Can
any one conceive the United States
annexing jungles in the centre OF
Africa, in the wild expectation that
the inhabitants of the iungles will he
civilized, and then cover their naked
ness with American cotton goods, and
cook their food in American pots and
pans?"
Recent happenings in Samoa, Philip.
pines, Porto Rico, Cuba and elsewhere,
have, no doubt, obliged the editor of
Truth to change his views of this
country. The thing Of greatest interest
in this matter is that in less than six
years the sentiments, policies and con-
duct of any enlightened people could
suffer SO extraordinary reversal as
those of this people have done II
fifteen months ago Spain had offered
the United States the Philippines
without money and without price, the
free gift would have been contemptu-
ously rejected. Yet few weeks age
we paid Spain 500, 900, 600 for those
wild islands, in addition to hundreds
or thousands of precious lives and
other millions Of money before and
since given. With all the cost, however,
they are not ours. We are still fight.
ing for them, not with Spain, but With
their own peoples.

Tn. sh,pmsn, ct Cold Abroad.

The shipment abroad today Of 81, 600, :
600 in gold need cause no uneasi-
ness concerning the relations OF the
Treasury, says the New York Evening
Post. When the Now York banks hold
in their valuts S206, 600. 600 specie and
only $50, 400,000 legal tenders, il is
hardly to be supposed that the export
gold will be obtained this season
through redemption of legal. tender
notes in specie. And as matter of
fact, when the Treasury is asked to
take its choice in its payment for ordi,
nary liabilities, it elects to pay gold
instead of loyal tenders its own reserves
standing this week at 1928, 400, 600
specie and barely $40, 900 paper
money.
The reason for this change in the
position both of banks and Treasury is
obvious enough. A domestic currency
which was altogether excessive for the
trade needs of 1891, whom the monthly
bank clearings of the entire United
States ran below four Thousand million
dollars, may easily be inadequate Tor
exchanges OF eight thousand millions
monthly, such al have been witnessed
in the present season. The perfectly
natural result has been the absorption
of the legaltender currency into an
expanding retail trade and tho conse-
quent conversion of bank and Treasury
reserves into specie. This being true,
the outward and inward movement OF
gold is matter of indifference, except
so far as it reflects the temporary riso
or fall in our interior trade and in our
foreign balances. In neither direction
is there any reason for discouragement,
