The balance of trade in favor of the
United States. as against India, and
the apparent determination of the Brit
ish Government TO impose the gold
standard of India, has brought to the
front once more the question of BIZ
metallism-that is to say, the silver
question. What is now feared in Lon
don by the banking and financial class
es is drain of gold from the banks Of
Great Britain to the United States and
to India. A correspondent of the Lon
don Financial News points out that, in
spite of the enormous increase in the
production of gold during recent years.
the available gold in sight in England
Is no larger to-day than 1t was twenty
years ago. Another correspondent
Mr.. Frewen-notes that three-quarters
OF million of sovereigns from Aus
tralia We're received Mt Bombay few
weeks ago. this consignment Of gold
being one of the results of the deter
mination of the Government to estab-
lish the gold standard in India.
Just at present this subject seems to
have small interest for the people of
this country, but events may combine
to make the results of the Indian ex-
pertinent exceedingly interesting, II not
positively thrilling. AT present the ma
tives of India prefer silver to gold, and
have preferred 1t since time began; but
they are not averse to gold. They are
keen to hoard it, as they do silver-or
as they did before silver lost half its
value as the result of decentralization
and 1t will be no very difficult task to
wean them from silver and give them
fresh thirst for gold. But in order to
establish the gold standard in India
the Government there must have a
gold reserve, and 1t must pay out that
reserve on demand
Some British writer's contend that
the gold standard will draw into circu-
lation the boards of gold that are
known to exist in India. Such con-
tention is easily established on paper.
1t was contended that the artificial val
Tie given to the rupee would draw out
the gold boards; but 1t has not had,
and Is not likely to have, that effect.
That is why the London bankers are
opposed to the gold standard in India.
From 1S4S to 1877 India's balance of
trade absorbed more than $2,5OO,OOO,-
600 Of gold-a sum in excess of all the
gold which was taken during those
years from the mines of California and
Australia combined. So far us known,
not an ounce of this gold ever got back
into the channels of trade. 1t went to
India and disappeared.
When the appetite Of the Indian is
made to hone for gold alone the boards
that will come out of hiding will be the
deprecated rupees, and their place
will be taken by gold coins or bars.
When the drain of gold to India once
fairly sets in our own reserves will be-
gin to feel the effect of it, and so will
those of England. The drain of gold
from London to this country can be
controlled by the discount rate of the
Bank of England. 1t can be stopped, or
the gold itself can be recalled by the
manipulation of that rate, but nothing
can recall gold that goes to India. Once
In that mysterious land 1t disappears
from the channels of trade.

We must sell our products low
enough to induce other countries to
either send gold here or allow us to
keep what we have. Hence the gold
standard and low prices are absolutely
inseparable. II we put prices low
enough, we can keep the gold; other
wise 1t is impossible. or course, 1t will

until they. in turn, have adjusted them
selves to the lower-price level, and then
they will begin again.
1t Is the fact that the movements are
thus irregular and spasmodic, that en-
ables the gold spectators to deceive so
many honest men as to the true cause.
The simple truth is that the great COM
mercial nations are trying to do their
business on a gold basis, when there ia
not enough gold for the purpose, with
out continual lowering of prices.

Cultivation Increases Fertility.
1t Is often said that long cultivation
and cropping makes land poor. but 1t is
equally true that the immediate effect
OF cultivation is to increase soil fertil-
ity. The paradox Is explained by the
fact that though soil fertility is increas-
ed by cultivation, there are always
crops or weeds ready to use up the
plant food as fast as 1t is made ready
for them. This is the disadvantage Of
having weeds. They not only rob the
valuable crops of plant food that they
could use to advantage, but they ex-
haust the soil itself without returning
any benefit to Its owner In one sense
doubtless the great Improvements in
implements for cultivating the soil have
been of doubtful benefit, for they en-
able the farmer to crop more, and thus
exhaust his land faster than before was
possible. Yet he must be dull-witted
farmer, who, having made his land fit
to produce much larger crops cannot
find some crop that poorer land cannot
grow, and which will pay him for keep

Interest Was rendered.
CONTENTION OF THE RESPONDENT.

The complainants petition for a pre-
liminary injunction in the equity cause
of Harriet NJ. Atwood VS.. Nellie j.
Charlton was granted by Judge Tilling-
hast in the appellate court today. Mrs.
Atwood in her bill seeks 10 have two
mortgages on the Atwood Hotel prop
erty held by the defendant assigned to
third party.
+. II. Quinn appeared for the COM
plainant and Albert II. Greene repre-
sented the defendant. The complainant
claims that in August last she rendered
to the defendant all that was due on the
mortgages and all the interest due The
statute gives mortgagee the right to
nave mortgage transferred TO third
parties.
Mr. Greene claimed the bill as drawn
did not come within the statute. the
complainant not being a mortgage be-
ing only holder of life estate which
mad been given 10 her after the mort
gage was made. He also said that there
were fve months interest due on the
mortgages.
Judge Tillinghast asked after Mr..
Quinn had stated that his client was
ready and willing now to pay the mort
cages and such interest as might be
due IL the respondent warref 10 keep
the mortgages as an investment.
Mr.. Greene said not only did his cli-
ent want TO keep the mortgages as
an investment but also TO protect the
rights or certain parties. He said the
piil was defective in that the remain

that the statute as II gave rights un-

Judge Tillinghast thought the bin
stated case under the statute. His
honor could not see how any harm
could be done to the defendant If she
was restrained from transferring the
MORTGAGES or foreclosing them until
the whole case was heard by the full
