THE ANrI-scALrlNG BILL.

T Tho Post heartily concurs with the ga
vannah News that one bill now pending in
congress should be acted on and passed
into law, to-wit. the anti-scalping bill.
The measure has passed the house. but
Is at present hung UP In the senate.
The purpose OF tho bill. as has been
shown by The Post frequently heretofore,
is TO put a stop to the practice OF sur
reptitious dealing in railway tickets and
conflnc the business TO authorized agents
OF the companies.
While such bill would be In the nature
of simple Justice to the transportation
companies, The Post believes it would
operate at the same time very largely to
the interests OF the public. AZ suggested
claimed, with very good reason, that the
ticket scalpers annually defraud the rail
roads out OF thousands OF dollars, and that
II the scalpers were eliminated 1t would
be possible for the railroads to make more
favorable terms to the general travelling
public. 1t is not claimed that all scalpers
are forgers, but 1t is asserted by the pro-
moterS or the Dill tnat ticket ScatptnB IL
a fruitful source OF iniquity which is
awaited of largely by criminal class, with
the result that the railroads are robbed
OF their just earnings. and 1t is impos-
sible for the travelling public to secure
ahc rates and concessions which they
otherwise would have.
In connection with the anti-scalping
agitation, an instructive pamphlet has been
issued by the Central anti-scalping COM
mittec 1t reproduccs a number of forged
railway tickets, by way of illustrating tho
"scalping iniquity' The reproductions
show forgery, as practiccd as a fine art
by some railway ticket scalpers. In some
instances tho whole ticket from top to
bottom, Is fraudulent In others the forgery
takes in not only the name of the person
TO whom the ticket was issued, but the
name OF the agent of the railway as well.
The forgers In tho scalping business are
extremely clever, and the only way to get
rid of them is TO abolish the scalplng
business

A GOLDEN SUGGESTION.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat among
the ablest of the republican newspapers
OF the country. and of course very par
tisan gold standard advocate, says that
1.-The United States would soon have all tho
gold in the world IL balances were set
tied entirely In that metal. In 1893 the
balance Of trade In our favor was $751;
900. 900. The worlds stock OF gold out
side OF this country is estimated at s2.S3o.-
900 900. Our excess OF exports on the
scale of last year would absorb 1t all In
less than Ave years III balances were
paid exclusively by the transfer OF gold.
Our net importations of gold in 1898
were about $145.oO0,000. Even this fg-
stock Of gold in less than twenty years,
But as the annual gold yield is S250,0o0.-
600 and increasing, a gold monopoly for
any nation is not among the probabilities. =
This line of reasoning suggests a thought
to the Salt Lake Tribune which is quite
pertinent and well worth consideration In
this connection.
Nearly all the gold that Is supplied to
the world comes from the mines OF the
United States and two or three British
colonies. Suppose 1t were all to gravi-
tate to the United States and England.
What use would 1t then be to man
kind? 1t could not help trade, for every
year the capacity OF the world to pay
for its purchases would be curtailed
until In a little while the purchases would
cease.
Very much the same stnte Of affairs ex-
lists now in our own country few have
the gold and all the rest are too poor to
