GOLD AND SILVER.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.-The repor; f the director of the mint on the pro- .uction of gold and silver in the United Lates during the calendar year 1899 hows only slight variation from the ap- roSimate figures given cut early in the resent year. The final figures are S1l.- tJ3 400 for gold and $32, ,95S. TOO for si- CT at its average commercial value dur ng the year.
 The gold product was the greatest in he history Of the country, exceeding that f 1898 by $6,59O, 400. and greater by ,5,0o3. 400 than the estimated product of S53, the record year ill the working of he California placers.

 The silver product Of the United States Il 1889 was slightly greater than in 1S9S, icing 54. .164 ,OuG ounces against 54,43S, i0O ounces. The average price for silver turing the year on the London quotations vas to cents per ounce as compared with 8 cents ill 1898.

and Kent ucllians were permitted 10 flatboat their produce down the fla ther of waters.
 Then followed the "Burr cOnspir- acy,' the true extent of which will never be known. Kentucky was. as usual, divided in this scheme. That conspiracy no doubt grew out Of the Kentucky secession movement, and the ambitious Burr widened its scope, looking not to trade relations, but to the crown of an emperor, with the west and the south and Mexico as his empire. Our troubles with Spain. and the treachery of that pow CT, made his scheme popular in Ken lucky. Here, he said, his only ob- ject was to wrest Louisiana from Spain; to the disaffected and adven- turous he gave it to be understood that the expedition was czle for booty; to the ambitious he said it was bne only for glory. This, art fully, he gained adherents, and prom ised each what he most hoped for. Only for Wiikinson's betrayal of Burr's scheme it might have resulted dangerously to the government.
 Of course. government officials were ignorant of the other part of the plot. Several letters were written to the government authorities from Frank fort by officials, advising the govern ment that Burr was organizing an ex- petition for descent upon Spain, but no attention was given to the warnings, and strangely. one of these officials, who was very importunate. was re- moved from office. The acquisition Of Texas and of California. within the next 5O years. indicates that our govern ment had it's eyes upon more territory. The purchase of Louisiana partly grew out of the early Kentucky troubles and perhaps from this idea grew that of our "eNpansior'' v:estward--the ab- sorption Of Texas ard our war again | Mexico. Additional room was needed for our increasing population, who mi grated further westward as did the pioneers who blazed the way to this wilderness, and after having nearly disrupted the union. formed enc of the gran6est states in that union

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Holiday trado .as increased moderately, and in whole iaie staple lines no relapse is seen either in volume of transactions or in prices. Cold weather has helped New York, but it is still behind the rest of the country, for some recent losses from failures in the textile markets have fallen rather heav fly here. Collections in the country con- ,inue good, and this relieves anxiety which migEc otherwise be felt over the igher rater for money. Merchants ac- 'ounts are ia strong position, so that new tales of commercial paper are light even for, this season. Industrial conditions continue strong, with no great accumula- ion of new goods in any quarter.
 III spite Of the breal, in cotton the market for fabrics is still in good posi- ;ion, sellers having little to offer and lothiug at cuts in prices.

tory as to the causes of this general dissatisfaction, or desire fer separate government. True, the laundering g Jay treaty discriminated against the west and in favor of New Engla nd, and
 that famed the glowing spark of seces- sion into a flame. These pioneers, be yond the beneficial influences of the government, had organized political clubs. A number of them had left the eastern states through sympathy for Great Britain. while others were neu- tral and only sought 0 escape the hor- TOTS of war and save their property.

 Ambitious and unprincipled, Will kinson favored an alliance with Spain, as he was then carrying on a profit able trade with that country in to- bacco, having secured a .concession" from the governor at New Orleans, and through that bribe controlled the tobacco crop of the west. With him were such conspirators as Judge liar ry Innis and Judge Sebastian. of the United States court of Kentucky; and. later. Aaron Burr, the arch conspirator of the western empire dream. Frankfort and Lexington were the official and political head quarters of the .conspirators, and the principal cause of the failure of set ting the scheme in motion was their division as to which place should be the capital of the independent repub- lie of Kentucky" They then had not realized the force of their subsequent state motto: United we stand; d- vided we fall" It may be incidentally mentioned that the trial Of Burr at Frankfort before Judge Sebastian, who was afterward proven to be a pensioner of Spain, and Judge Innis, who was also known to be in the plot, was simply a farce, especially as some of the jurors were members of the secession party.
 Finally, when Kentucky was admit ted as q state, without having first been organized as territory, the secession movement was partly al layed; but as Spain had violated it's treaty with the United States in the free navigation of the Mississippi riTer, the commerce of the west was thus deprived of a market and se- cession became more popular. Not only the masses, but nearly every man of prominence in Kentucky now favored separation. Mass meetings denounced the general government with neglecting to enforce the rights of the people. and war with Spain was urged strongly. The editor of a paper in Frankfort who opposed the Burr movement was ejected from a ballroom, so intense was the personal feeling. The executive was even de- nounced for 'truculency' to Spain. But the government was weak. and even then there were doubts as to it's permanency. However. a new treaty with Spain settled the trouble,

 ts early settlement. This was the neutral hunting ground of the various Indian tribes who Cnly buried the 1atchet when here hunting the buffalo. They, however, united against the white settler who came to take their game and lands.
 The settlers held their claims by the aid of long rifles, the only title some of them had. Then followed ''settie- ment" feuds over land claims, which lasted beyond civilization and regular courts. Reports from this dark and bloody" ground soon reached the states and large migration headed to the west. where the land was said to be very fertile. and upon which any kind of crops would grow abundantly. There came all kinds of dissatisfied people who wished to improve their fallen financial. political or social con- ditions. Some were men of standing, and in good financial condition, but they sought a country where land was cheaper and ricler, in order to make provision for their growing families. They also wanted more room for their slaves. and as slaves could be cheapl had from the Cuban and African coast smugglers this country opened for them a new and profita ble field. This was the land for those who had failed elsewhere, and especially for the polit- teal adventurer with a past. where he could build anew, or else lose nothing by failure. The intrigues of these po- itical adventurerS came near changing g the political condition of the govern ment-and almost before it was gov ernment. Of the several plots and counter-plots all were against the new republic then just forming. One was for an independent" state, 'peaceably. if we can; forcibly, if we must
 Another was for an alliance with Spain; another favored France. and still another preferred England. which power was then aiding the Indians in their massacres of the settlers. But all of these were opposed to union with the young republic of America. These troubles began, as We read in history, before the adoption of the federal con- stitution, and when Kentucky did not have sufficient population to entitle it to 8 representative in congress.
