Rest of World Profits Heavily
From Sales of Gold to America

More important, a good deal OF the
magnetism of our market for foreign
capital would be blotted out Euro
haps act to send capital here for
safety, but the money problem would
be materially eased. Capital might
actually be repatriated to Europe. Our
Treasury would thus tend to be re-
lieved Of the interest burden it now
incurs in sterilizing gold.
But there would be disadvantages
for certain segments of our popula-
ton. The increase in the dollars gold
content resulting from lowering Of
the price Of gold would increase the
value of the dollar in terms of the
pound sterling, the franc, etc, and,
theoretically, tend to disadvantage our
exporters. Our leading export COM
modities would tend to react in price,
In proportion to their relative de-
pendence on foreign and home
markets.
Anticipating this, our inflated stock
markets would react, and wholesale
prices OF commodities, especially the
more speculative ones, would decline.
Whether this would be bad" or good"
would depend on the time and ones
viewpoint. Since the President and
his cabinet have already indicated that
commodity and stock price rises are
not always unmixed blessings, it may
develop that price declines will not
always remain taboo.
A lowering OF the price of gold such
as has been discussed above could be
accomplished by overnight action or
it could be done gradually. The Sec
retary Of the Treasury has the power
to pay for gold whatever price he re-
CARDS as In the Nations best interests.
He is not legally bound to pay s35.
He is not limited by the so-called
"50-60- cent range" which restricts
the Presidents action. Nor is the tri-
partite consultative monetary under
| standing with Great Britain and
France an obstacle. Great Britain
would probably be glad to join us.
Such action by our Treasury might
be definitive or it might be tentative
The price Of gold might be lowered
gradually, just as it was raised gradu-
ally in 1898: and it might be subject
to readjustment upward.
Ultimately such policy may appeal
| to the Government. At present,
however. the inflation-minded agri-
cultural and mining elements, who
would most directly feel the effects
| Of q deflationary step, would vigor-
o,1sly oppose any policy involving q
higher exchange valEe for the dollar.
The effects of monetary tinkering
in any direction are far-reaching.
Americas experience with imitation
has not demonstrated the wisdom Of
intrusting the currency to democratic
political processes On the other hand,
Great Britain, Sweden, ETC., have
| shown that a country can, while ex-
perimenting with its money and credit
, structure, experience business revival
without q fixed price for gold. What
we are doing is having our cake and
eating 1t, too." We have both man.
aged currency and a fixed price Of
gold. In 1888 fixed price of gold
seemed unbearable, so Congress aban-
doned 1t. We may again fnd our
selves facing such . decision. Which
course will w choose3 It Is time to

Jingling bells and chorus OF Chi

way into the courtyard. Collins and
I in our pajamas inspected them.
Three were good-two not so hot.
We told the men they wouldn't do.
Out they went, after voluble argu-
ment, and two really fine ones took
their places
Then Collins and I dressed leisurely
and the boy collected our camp gear.
Just as We were about to leave the
Yamen the magistrate appeared. 1t
had just been reported to him that
the mules had arrived. For three
days he had had men combing the
countryside to find us proper animals.
He was delighted to have been of
service. So he said.
OF course, he knew that we knew
that the mules had come from just
around the corner, but that didn't
embarrass him at all
Collins and I proceeded with our
mules to the Inn of the Second
Stomach. It was eleven o'clock, but
we made the men pack and leave that
night. We weren't trusting the magis-
trate. Thus ended the sit-down

but, by means Of article VIII. rave
the United States the right OF free
transit through the hthmus ol
Tehuantepec for its troops, munitions,
persons and merchandise, and also
the right to join the Mexican govern
ment in the protection Of the railroad
the former had decided to construct
across the isthmus.
For more than so years, these rights
in the hands Of foreign power which
did not conceal its hegemonic am
bitions were the cause Of great con.
cern to Mexican statesmen and pa
triots. OF course, with the construc-
tion OF the Panama Canal the danger
disappeared, and so did the Importance
which the United States at one time
attached to those rights. AS soon as
the Panama Canal was open to traffic,
the provisions of article VIII Of ths
Gadsden treaty became for all practical
purposes obsolete. Yet, until a few
days ago, they remained theoretically
in force, in spite Of their incompati-
bility with present conditions and
with tenets Of the good neighbor
policy.
In signing the Hull Castillo Najera
treaty, the United States has given
up what could be described, in view
of its present Latin American policy,
as an embarrassing privilege. 1t was
a privilege secured under conditions
which today could not be considered
fair, privilege which facts had
rendered obsolete and which, never.

Value Of Confidence.
1t Is safe to surmise that on this
occasion the United States has acted
with the same purpose which inspired
the withdrawal of its Marines from
Caribbean shores, the abandonment
OF the Platt amendment, the signature
OF the new treaty with Panama and
other rectiflcation of past wrongs,
namely, to give added proof Of the
sincerity OF its intentions in profess.

American nations and, as a conse.
quence, to secure their friendly co.
operation for all purposes, including
those in the discarded instruments
which were legitimate and reasonable,
The difference is that yesterday that
cooperation was obtained, if at all,
by force or threats Of force, while

had had for years, long before he
came to work for us. Nevertheless,
we sent his body back to Peking,
bought him fine coffin and paid for
a first class funeral with a relocated
band and all the fixings. also gave
his brother 5000 to help the cooks
son in his schooling, and his salary
up to the date Of his death. He died
a month before Chinese New Year,
and I always gave the servants
months extra wages at that time as
q bonus. The whole affair had cost
me something over $500, but the
wretched brother demanded, an addi-
ton, the New Years gift which the
cook would have received had he
lived.
That was a bit too much. and I
told him to clear out. He went, all
right, but just beyond my compound
gate. There he established himself
with food and bed roll. As usual,
crowd gathered and remained.
Whenever I left the house, the man
would explain loudly to the spectators
that I was rich lord who had de-
frauded his poor dead brother out of
a months wages.
Street Always Jammed.
He stayed there for eight days with
out ever leaving the gate. News Of
his sit-down strike had gone out and
the street was always jammed.
My Number One Boy finally said,
Honorable Master, you will just have
to give him the money. He will lose
face If he quits, and he can't do
that"
But how will you save my face?"
I asked the Number One.
"Oh, can do that easily. You lis
ten from the gate house"
So I gave my Boy the money and
he strobe Importantly to the door.
Then he proceeded to speak elo-
quently to my creditor and the crowd.
The substance Of his remarks was
that had taken pity on the wretched
man because Of his long vigil. That.
while I did not agree that I owed
him any money, in the bigness Of my
heart I felt that he deserved some
reward for having honored me with
his presence at my gate, etc.
For about = half hour he went on.
The man departed with his money,
but to his credit I will say that he
returned to ko-tow three times when
next I left the house.
Committing suicide on the front
steps of q debtors house is another
way to get back at a man who owes
you money. OF course you don't profit
much by it yourself, but the money
will have to be paid to your family
then, or the unfortunate debtor will
be so harassed by the evil spirits you
let loose on him that he will be forever
ruined. All Chinese are IN deadly
fear that someone whom they have in
jured will commit suicide in retalia-
ton. If 1t does happen, they are dis
sraoed for the rest Of their Hives.

than the entire world production dur
ing the same period, even though pro-
duction has been greatly stimulated by
the large premium being paid for the
yellow metal The Treasury's pur-
chases of silver during the "a months
ended October last have been eQuiva-
lent to about twice the entire worlds
mine production of that metal, despite
the fact that silver production was
greatly expanded by virtue of the sub
sidy price which the American Gov
ernment is paying on all its purchases,
abroad as well as at home.
Only the bidding Of prices we'll
above the current economic value OF
these not-so-precious metals explains
our rapid acquisition of them. We
are giving high-value dollars in ex-
change for low-value metals. A low
ering of our bids or refusal to buy
at all would diminish the inflow. It
is easily in our power to do SO.
Unless we do something about it,
the outside world will of necessity
continue to get along with little none
tary gold, which in the end will tend
to lower the value of gold. Already
in 1882 we held a disproportionate
share of the worlds gold Now more
than three-fourths of the gold held
by SO central banks and governments
is cornered by four countries-the
United States, the United Kingdom,
France and the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics. Exclusive of the last
mentioned, all Europe holds consid-
erably less gold than the United
States Treasury alone. We have four
times as much Of the metal as our
nearest competitor, France, and "a
times as much as Japan. This aggra-
waited situation is natural conse-
quence of the undervaluation of the
dollar and the inflow of capital in
fight from European uncertainties
and in quest of stock marekt profits
here. If we keep gold cornered, will
we some day be left holding the bag,
as we are already foolishly doing
with the worlds discarded silver?
The difnculty of getting the world
back on the old-fashioned gold stand
ard IS, first Of all, to get gold so redis-
tributed as to make it possible again
to link enough currencies to it to
make an international system. Sec
ondly, it IS going to be increasingly
difficult to convince governments and
central banks that they need a rigid
link to gold. Today gold has value
in international transactions. It is
still highly useful as q national nest
egg in case of emergency. But, apart
from its utility as a war chest, gold
in amounts sufficient merely to settle
seasonal disequilibria in trade Is all
that is needed to keep currencies rea-
sonably stable. Its prime utility today
Is as the coin of sterilization funds,
those modern monetary shock absorb
ers without which no streamlined
government Is today well equipped.
If we overnight lowered the price
Of gold by $40 and thereby increased
the gold content Of the dollar it would
not be so attractive to mine gold for
sale to the United States Treasury.
Marginal gold producers would drop
out. Gold mining shares would de-
cline. India would think twice befors
selling.

BILL PROVIDES FOR CARE
OF MENTALLY ILL

A bill which will establish clin-
les throughout the state for treat
ment of mild cases of insanity and
provide constructive care for the
mentally i'll has been signed by Gov
ernor Martin L. Davey.
The measure, recognized as one
which will be a big forward step in
the welfare progress of the state,
was long advocated by the governor
who proposed and urged its passage
to the state legislature.
The act, which will become effec-
tive, Jan. /, 1888, establishes with
in the welfare department a division
of mental diseases and provides that
persons feeling mentally i'll may be
admitted as out-patients at state hos
pitfalls, eliminating the necessity or
first having to be adjudged insane
and then committed through court
order.
! The governor says the act in time
would result in economies for the
state, since the out-patient hospitals
would provide treatment to inclplent
cases of insanity, preventing many
cases from reaching a more serious
state which usually means long pc
riods of confinement in state hos
pital at the expense of the taxpay
erS.
Also signed by the governor wa:
Am. S. B. No. 268 which revlses
consolidates, and codifies the Juver'
lie laws of the state and repeals var
! ious sections of the general code re-
| Iating to minors.

CUT AT RIGHT TIME TO
GET BETTER HAY

Cutting hay at the right time is
one way Of adding to the value OF
forage that Will be harvested in Ohio
this year, according to r. D. Lewis
extension agronomist, 0. S. {. Mr.
Lewis states that unless hay is cug
at the proper stage of growth it loses
feeding value. The ease of curing tho
hay and the amount of new growth
that will be made after cutting are
also influenced by the time the first
crop is taken from the meadow.
Tests made at several points in Ohio
indicate that the correct calendar
dates for cutting red clover are:
Southern Ohio, June 8 to 10; central
Ohio, June to 13, and northern
Ohio, June to 16. Dates for cut-
ting mammoth red clover in the
June IT to 80, and June 90 to July
5.
The maximum yields from tim
othy are secured if it is cut just af-
ter blooming is completed but the
most protein per acre is obtained
from timothy if it is cut during the
early-headed to full-bloom stage
The dates suggested by Mr.. Lewis
are: Southern Ohio, June 10 to 2zs
central Ohio, June Is to 25, and
northern Ohio, June 21 to 2S.
Only three cuttings from Ohio al
falfa are recommended by Mr.. Lew
is, except on the richest bottom lands
in southern Ohio or on fields which
are to be plowed the following
spring. Only two cuttings should be-
taken from some northeastern areas
in years of short growth or where
the third cutting would be made at
ter September /.
Alfalfa cutting should be well un-
der way when half the blossoms are
out and should be completed by the
time the plants are in full bloom
Dates for the first cutting are.
Southern Ohio bottom lands, May
2S to June A; southern Ohio up
lands, June 3 to 10; central Ohio.
June to IA; northwestern Ohio
June to IA, and northeastern Osfos-
June to 16.
