NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Jor the drat time since April 20, the
United States treasury has a gold re-
serve of over $100,000,000, and th e
inflow of gold from Britain continues,
These indications axe held to betoken
the early betterment of the markets.
But the currency question must be
settled before confidence is restored,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, -President Cleve-
land, in bis message to Congress, says:
The existence of au alarming and extrema
(Unary business situation, involving the
welfare and prosperity of all our people
bas constrained me to call together in
extra session the people's representatives
in Congress, to the end that through a
wise and patriotio exercise of the legislat-
ive duty with which they solely axe
charged, present evils may be mitigated
and dangers threatening the future may
be averted,
I believe these diffioulties are principally
chargeable to Congressional legislation,
touching the purchase and coinage of sil-
ver by the general government. 'Undoubt-
edly the monthly purchase by the Govern,
ment of four million five bundred thousand

Wheat on the market is worth )58c.
Two years ttgo it eras worth $1.00.
Straight roller flour at present is quot-
ed at $2,50. One year ago its selling
price was $3.50, and a year prior to
that again it was up to $4.00. Yet in
spite of this decline in wheat and flour,
the price of bread is what it was two
years ago. Truly the bakers must be
reaping a golden hsrvest. Flour has
come down frcm $4.00 to $2.50 while
bread has remaixied etationary,��

Spred among the British herds at an
alarming rate. The Canadian cattle
are not affected by any contagious dis-
ease, and it is unreasonable to believe
that a case of pleuro -pneumonia could
have existed without the disease being
imparted to many other animals. It is
gratifying to hear that Britishimporters
are perpetually clamoring for a removal
of the embargo. And their agitation

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
ounces of silver enforced under statute
were regarded by those interested in silver
production as a certain guarantee of its
increase in price. The result, however,.
has been entirely different, for immediate-
ly following a spasmodic and slight rise
the price of silver began to fall after the
passage of the .9,ot, and has since reached
the lowest point ever known. This disap-
pointing result has led to renewed and
persistent effort in the direction of free
silver coinage.
The law provides that in payment for
the four million and five hundred thousand
pounds of silver bullion which the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is commanded to
purchase monthly there shall be issued
treasury notes, redeemable on demand in
gold or silver coin, at the discretion of the

as may be provide' by law," This de-
claration so cot�ols the action of the
Secretary of tbrireasury as to prevent his
exercising theeiscretion nominally -vested
in him, if b- such notion the parity be-
tween gel; and silver may be disturbed.
Up ta-ne 15th day of July, 1893, notes
had ban issued in payment of silver bul-
ne : urchased to the amount of more than
ea hundred and forty-seven millions of
cl;liars. While all but a very small quan-
tity of this bullion remains uncoerced and
without usefulness in the treasury many
of the notes given in its purchase have
been paid in gold. Between the first day
of May, 1892, and the fifteenth day of
July, 1893, the notes of this kind issued in
payment for silver bullion amounted to
little more than fifty # milli of dol
pia,
our m
lars were paid by the treasury in gold for
the redemption of suck notes.
Unless Government bonds are to be con-
stantly issued and sold to replenish our
gold, only to be again exhausted, it is ap-
parent that the operation of the silver
purchase law now in force leads in the
direction of the entire substitution of
silver for the gold in the Government
treasury, and that this must be followed
by the payment of all Government obliga-
tions in depreciated silver.
Given over to the exclusive use of a cur-
rency greatly depreciated according to the
standard of the commercial world we could
no longer claim a place among nations of
the first class, nor could our Government
claim a performance of its obligations so
far as such an obligation has been imposed
upon it to provide for the use of thepeople
the best and safest money.
It is of the utmost importance that such
relief as Congress can afford in -the existing
situation be afforded at once. The maxim,
"1 -Ie gives twice who gives quickly," is
directly applicable. Every day's delay in
removing one of the plain and principal
causes of the present state of things en-
larges the ;responsibility of the Govern-
ment for its existence. Whatever else the
People have a right to , expect from Con-
gress, they may certainly demand that
legislation condemned by the ordeal of
three years' disastrous experience shall he
removed from the statute book as soon 50
their representative can legitimately deal
with it,

WASHINGTON, , Aug. 0, -The. Republican
senators held a caucus in the rooms of
Senator Sherman and discussed the situa-
tion from various points of view. The
senators from the west mingled freely with
the gold men from the east, and talked
over financial affairs in an unimpassioned
manner. There was one thing upon which
the senators agreed; however .they might
differ on other matters, and that was that
the Sherman latoy. Ives not anpuslble

the minds of tho people, One senator made
at spoeoii, iu wiriah he took file mound that
the fear of interference by the Democrats
with the tariff, had done more than any-
thing else to sow the seeds of distrust
throughout the land, a statement voiced
by others present. No fixed policy was
determined upon. • It was agreed that the
Democrats must assume the responsibility
for all that was done, but that at the same
time the Republicans would be guided by
patriotic impulses and do what they
thought was proper to help the country in
remedying the evils that were believed to
exist.
A Significant Statement.
NEW Yong, Aug. 9. -The Sun to -day
says: "No part of President Cleveland's
message, as important as it is in every
part, is more significant or politically re-
assuring than the passage; "It was my
purpose to summon Congress in special
session early in the coming September
that we might enter promptly upon the
week of tariff reform, which the true in-
terests of the country clearly demand,which
so large a majority of the people, as shown
by their suffrages, desire and expect, and
to the accomplishment of which every
officer of the present administration is
pledged," We congratulate the demtmracy
on the fact that the President recognizes
squarely and honorably the validity of the
pledge. There is no sign of repudiation.
Mr. Cleveland does not push tariff reform
out of sight or attempt to postpone it to
indefinite future.
