MATSUKATA A PESSIMIST.
Foresees Financial Disaster in the
United States

A dispatch from Vienna yesterday says:
Count Matsukata, the former minister of
hhance of Japan, who recently returned
from months visit to the United States,
said to the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
While I was deeply impressed with the
tremendous energy of the Americans and
their wonderful commercial development,
rear that the too rapid progress of the
United States is likely to experience Sc
rlous setback in the near future The com
mercial energy of the Americans" he con-
tlnued. ''incOmparably surpaSSes anything
IN Europe. This is undoubtedly one of the
principal causes of the economic progress
or the United States l perceive in many
directions where European countries are
already affected by American expansion.
and | think it likely that they will be still
more affected in the future, but America 5
progress has been so exceedingly rapid that
L fear some sudden disaster. In my opinion
too much business has been done on Dor
rowed capital. This. coupled with the mag
nitude of the commercial operations, will
probably lead to panic at the first unto
ward circumstance. such as bad harvest
or similar misfortune. While there are
many strong banks in the United States,
there also many weak ones, whose fail
ure Will render a crash inevitable. l fear
that some of these banks are lending too
much money to aid business enterprises.
Another danger lies in the banks note
issues. While this is perfectly safe in
theory. because they are protected by
deposit of government bonds, yet in time
OF panic there is considerable difference be
tween negotiable paper and cash. Some of
the most prominent financiers in America
share these apprehensions, which leads me
to hope that they. foreseeing the danger,
will find means Of averting it. If so Amer
icas commercial progress will be even
more markabe than at present.
Count Matsukata has previously visited
London Brussels, Paris, Berlin and Rome,
and is studying the financial and
economic conditions of Austria Hungary.

THREATEN TO STRIKE AGAIN.
Chicago Freight Handlers Charge Rail
roads With Bad Faith.

A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
Another strike of the fl eight handlers OF
Chicago may be called Sunday night.
President Curran of the Freight Handlers
Union has issued a call for a mass-meeting
of all the freight handlers in the city, to
be held at that time, to take action on
the refusal of four railroads to reinatate
all the old men. Mr.. Curran said tonight
that he regretted to take this step, but
was compelled to do so. He declared that
when the settlement was made, it was
agreed with Frederick W. Job, chairman
Of the state board of arbitration. that all
the old men were to be taken back when
the strike was declared off. This, he says
the Santa Fe, Pan Handle, Northwestern
and Illinois Central railroads have not
done, and unless they shall do 50 before
the masS-meeting tomorrow night, another
WaIk-Out will be ordered.
These four railroads have broken faith
he said, because the reinstatement of all
the old men was of the things that
Chairman Job insisted on particularly, and
now they Will be compelled to put the
men back. 1 am free to say that the
freight handlers are more determined than
ever to get justice and to stand by the
union. and if another Walk-out is ordered
not man will return to work until each
and every demand is acceded to. There
will be no halfway business about 1t this
time

The Cloud Over Cuba.

Albert Gardner Robinson in New York ''Indcprn.
dent
The infant republic of Cuba has been
launched upon the turbulent sea Of ma
tional distress. under a sky which is dark
with the menace of disorder, if not OF
crime. which will be due not to any spirit
of revenge nor to any natural disposition
to turbulence. but to the hunger of thou
sands of unemployed men who are desti-
tute of resources and for whom there is
no work.
The crop season is over. Some 80, 900
tons of sugar have been produced at a cost
which. at prevailing market prices, repre-
sents a dead loss Of many millions of dol
lars and which leaves scores of planter rs
utterly bankrupt. Under normal Condi-
tiOnS the making of the sugar crop is inn
mediately followed by preparations for a
succeeding crop. Few planters have or
can borrow money for that work this year.
and labor must be paid for. Thousands
of laborers are now out of employment.
Many must become Migrants. Some will
doubtless resort to crime. For this and
for whatever may follow the American
Congress and the fomenters OF the anti
reciprocity movement are responsible. ANY
consideration of Cuba's initial steps in self
government must be made with the fact
of her economic distress kept clearly in
mind. Her success or her failure must be
weighed with a due allowance for the bur
den imposed upon her at the very threshold
of her new life.

INFLUENCE OF NEW GOLD.
Supply of Yellow Metal May Be
Doubled in twenty-five Years.

From he New York Evening Post
Paul Leroy Beaulieu, the well-known
French statistician, takes up in the current
number of the Economists Francois the
question of the influence of the present and
prospective increase in gold production on
prices Looking to the future he remarks
that after period of a year or eighteen
months the Transvaal will have returned
to the output of the summer of 1899" He
adds that ii is very probable that in four
or five years. around 1906 or 1907. annual
production of that country will have
reached a figure equivalent to $3.50, 900 600
or $16O,O0O,OOO annually, whereas maximum
production in 1899 was at the rate Of $780,
600, coo.
M. Leroy-Beanlieu estimates that Aus
trala, China, Chile, Siberia, India and West
Africa are likely to increase their own pro
duction of gold along with South Africa
and he reckons for the entire world by
1905 or 1906 yearly production of 2,OOO,-
100000 francs. or S4GO0OO.0O0, as compared
with an annual average of $50, 900, 900
francs. or $lO6, COO for the period 1881
1885 To this he subjoins an estimate that
the stock of gold now available in the
world is something like $1,000 900 600 francs
or $1,000, OOOOOO. He then proceeds as fol-
lows to analyze the probable effect Of such
increased production on trade and prices:
'"To sum up. A stock Of gold of about
according to all probabilities. of two mil
lizards during the next quarter of century
these are the two terms of the problem.
They do away with all idea of a very
great or sudden fuctuation in the value Of
gold. and consequently of a very violent
and rapid rise in prices. 1t will, In fact
only be at the end of a quarter of CEN
fury that the quantity of gold now actually
existing in the, world will be doubled by the
new production. On the other hand, popu-
lation is Increasing, and so is wealth and
business activity among civilized people
New countries are being developed Within
a quarter of a century the two Americas
alone will show enormous increase IN their
inhabitants. Even the Asiatic people will
develop their, own resources and will be
able to Absorb certain quantity of gold
Finally, a number of states are stu under
the regime of paper money. These states
If they are web managed, will be able grad
ually to9resarhe specie payments and the
gold standard.
I'm short, it does not seem that there is
reason to expect from this doubling in
twenty-five years of the quantity of gold
existing in the world any very sudden and
perceptible movement of prices. But neither
does this mean that the large and constant
addition to the stock of gold will have no
influence on business affairs or on the stock
and commodity markets.
