THE
BROKEN-DOWN GOLD SPECULA
TION. From the X. T. World.
The friends of Secretary Boutwell must
Hot be permitted to ruirileail the country into
believing that the blaitio of the lute gigantic
gold-gambling operation belongs wholly to
the speculators who were its immedinte au-
; thors, and that he and the party whose flnan
' cial policy he administers are not responsible
for it. The Republicans cannot thus make a
ecape-goat of the gold gamblers. If the
f cashier of a bank should go home at night
' without locking the safe, and the porter
should leave the street door open and sink
into the stupefaction of a drunken Bleep, the
bank would be robbed, of course; but the fact
that there are burglars always ready to take
. advantage of such a chance would not be ao
cepted by the bank directors as an extenua
tion of the guilt of their servants. If these
unfaithful servants should inveigh
against the wickedness of the robbers, they
would be met with derisive indignation. It is
beemwe society is infested with uurglars that
safes, and locks, and strict vigilance are
needed; and it is becaus every commercial
community abounds with bold, sanguine
speculators that the Government should not
place its own credit and the business of the
jcountry in their power. If the financial sys
tem of the Republican party were not funda
mentally wrong and rotten, a band of specula
tors could not thus strike the legitimate busi
ness of the country with sudden paralysis and
stagnation, and send distraction and panio
through all the walks of commerce.
A bad system may be administered with
Varying degrees of skill. The power of the
speculators has never been so great nor their
operations so unsettling and mischievous as
nnder Mr. Boutwell. None of his Repub
lican predecessors have had so few ob
stacles to contend against as he has.
During the war the price of gold was subject
to perpetual fluctuations by the result of
fcattles and rumors of foreign interven
tion; but at no time during the war
Were there any such scenes in Wall
Street as were witnessed last Friday. During
the four years after the close of the war, the
Secretary of the Treasury had a vast, un
wieldy, enormous mass of floating debt to
fund; but during thone four years commerce
and the public credit never reeled and stag
gered as they did in consequence of the
recent operations. Mr. Boutwell has no
difficulties to contend with, except such
as inhere in the false system which was the
same under his predecessors as under him.
lie found the Treasury full to overflowing,
and has had a redundant revenue during the
whole time he has been in olnce. It has been
B period of peace; he has had the advantage of
showing a monthly reduction of the public
debt; he has been subject to no strain from
any quarter, either by events or the pressure
of deferred obligations; he has had a hundred
millions of gold in the Treasury, and has
been in a position to dictate and control (if
he had known how to use his power); and
he has been exempt from any othor con
straint than that which skill exerts over
imbecility. But with all his vast re
sources, and all the strength and the advan
tages of his position, he has been out
witted and overruled, and the fluctuations in
gold have been more sudden and violent,
and the convulsions in business more ruinous,
than at any time during the war, or during
the settlement and liquidation of the enor
mous outstanding accounts which the war be
queathed to the following administration,
it is tor tne interest ot trade mat tne cur
rency Bhould have some steadiness of value;
hut under Mr. Boutwell it has undergone the
most jerking fluctuations without any dis
turbing causes either in the amount of the
circulation, the state of the foreign exchanges,
the movements of trade, or the turn of poli
tics. The system which puts such dangerous
power in the hands of speculators is of course
bad; but Mr. Boutwell's predecessors had to
administer the same system under disadvan
tages from which he is free, and yet unset
tling speculation never ran so wild as it does
when he is sailing in perfectly smooth water.
If Mr. Boutwell were a competent officer,
the credit of the Government should have
Steadily improved under his administration,
and the improvement have been manifested
in a steady and gradual decline in the price
of gold. The resolution passed by Congress,
at its last session, declaring the debt payable
in coin, was favorable to his aims, as it re
moved one of the chief causes alleged by the
Republicans for the low state of the public
credit. The constant laudations bestowed by
the Republican press, from month to month,
on his success in diminishing the public debt,
were propitious. The great and increasing
amount of gold in the Treasury gave an im
posing appearance of strength. And yet the
price of gold, which was only 131 at the time
f his accession to office, was carried up to
102 after seven months of his boasted reduc
tions of the public debt. Without any spe
cial activity of the speculators, gold ranged
constantly higher than he found it; and when
they put forth their strength to create a
'corner," the price went up like an unbal
lasted balloon. With all his advantages and
all his abounding resources, the public credit,
under his management, has constantly dete
riorated. Nothing could have been more maladroit
and clumsy than his course during the recent
excitement. If he had been going to inter-
lere, ms lnienerence Htiould nave been ear
lier, and have saved the business of the coun
try from disaster. The avowed object was to
Jbrina down tne price or gold, and keen it at
a reasonable figure. But if it was allowable
for him to use the resources of the Treasury
to lower the price, it was equally allowable
for him to adopt the same means to prevent
its rise. By interfering on Wednesday, he
could have prevented .the extreme and vio-

and allowed gold to be run up with a view
to take advantage ot tne high price
as a seller, his motives would have been at
least intelligible. If he had sold the Govern
ment gold at prices ranging from 150 to Kit)
when those prices were ruling, that might be
assigned as a reason why he permitted the
gigantic speculation to proceed without
-liar If TW. instead of rrotitinc by the state
of the market and selling gold when it was
highest, he first brought down the price to a
lower noint than it had reached in along
whilej and then he made a large salo. Ilis
object was not to get the best price for the
told. but simply to regulate the
market;' but if it is his business to regulate the

THE PAIL if EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1609.
BcnFon of the fall trade, when merchants
have millions of dollars' worth of goods in
the warehouses which thay are daily with
drawing to supply their customers, a sudden
rise in the price of gold, ftttonded by feirs
that it will go higher, compels them to buy in
advance for future use in the payment of
duties. Mr. Boutwell was Rn unmoved spec
tator while they wore paying for gold
which they may not have occasion to use in
two or three weeks; and as soon as thoy had
got this heavy load on their hands he imme
diately breaks down the market, and causes
gold to be sold for 132. He cannot expect
to be popular with the mercantile public!
after causing them this needless, vexation
loss. If he had persisted in his non-interference
thoir rivals would have had to
pay duties at the same rate with
themselves, and they could have made
up their loss from their customers. As it is,
they feel that they have been shamofully
swindled in consequence of the Secretary of
the Treasury not Knowing his own mind,
and changing it with a suddenness which
baffled calculation. By standing aloof until
alter tne speculation culminated, lie com
pelled thoso who had duties to pay within
the ensuing three weeks to buy gold at ex
travagant prices; and by interfering then he
enabled rival importers to monopolize all the
profits. The effect of Mr. Boutwell's manage
ment is, that some merchants have to pay
tmrty per cent, nignor duties than others.
.lie cannot snut tne blame trom his own
shoulders by laying it to tho speculators; for
ho permitted the speculation to go on, stub
bornly rei using to give any intimation that
he would check it, when nothing was easier
than for him to have nipped it in tho bud.
SENATOR SUMNER AND CUBA.
From the N. Y. Time.
Mr. Senator Sumner thinks the Cubans are
in no sense entitled to be treated as bellige
rents, and that in reference to Spain "tho
true rule for us is non-intervention, except in
the way of good offices." We are not pre
pared to contest the soundness of this conclu
sion, which, like every deliberate expression of
that statesman, is entitled to groat respect.
Assuming his view to be correct, it would
have been a sourco of great satisfaction to
the many thousands who perused his speech
if he had helped thom over some of tho diffi
culties which beset the path of noninterven
tion which he indicates.
It is true that Cuba has no government nor
territory occupied by her armies. And yet it
is not disputed that tho entire crcole popula
tion is more unanimous in its hostility to tho
Madrid Government than the population of
the United States is at this moment in thoir
loyalty to the Government at Washington.
Again, Cuba has precisely the same grounds
for revolting against Spain that some- of the
other American colonies, Massachusetts Bay
being one of them, had for revolting against
England taxation without representation.
Now does Mr. Sumner think France trans
gressed tho line of duty in acknowledging tho
independence of the American colonies at a
time when they were far less unanimous for
emancipation from the Enropean thrall than
the people of Cuba are now? Again, the
Cubans have had reason to expect before this
either their independence or representation
in the Government. In resenting its refusal
to them, they but follow in the line traced
out for them by the loading statesmen of
Spain. In a memoir written by General Jose
do la Concha, on the political condition and
Government of the Island of Cuba, m 1851,
he wrote:
"lithe Government did not count upon strong
conservative elements amonjj th population; If it
were bound to consider thu latter entirely hostile
and ready to revolt at the llrst favorable moment,
far would it bo from mo to recommend tho least
effort to uphold Spanish rule there. On tho con-
trary, 1 would only rulHo my voice to advise tho
Government to Rive its attention at once to procure
some settlement which, suvinjr tho national houor.
would avoid the Immense sacrifices and tho sad con
sequences of a state of things wherein the support
oi tne nimnisn mijr woum uepeuci exclusively on the
material lorco oi arms."
No one pretends that the state of things
has not arrived when tho recommendation
General Concha promised should be made;
and it is notorious that otters of mediation
have been made by the United States to Spain
by which a settlement of her difficulties with
the colonies could have been effected with a
due regard for the national honor. To those
offers Spain says: "Let the Cubans lay
down their arms, and then we will discuss
your proposals for a settlement, not before."
touch are bpam s notions of the require
ments of national honor.
But there is higher authority for the hopes
wnicn tUDa has been encouraged to enter
...... .
tain, and which she is now trying to realize
by arms.
J. lie present Regent, Serrano, only two
short years ago, in a report to his Govern
inent about Cuba, of which he was Governor-
General, wrote as follows:
"It seems to mo that I understand well the actual
tendencies of tho Cubans; I endeavored to Rain
their friendshlD and to listen with Impartiality to
meir comniaints ana aspirations, i uauuui uumuy
to tho Government of her Majesty, influenced by the
loyalty of mv character and the most sincere con
viction tnat the grievances 01 me cuoaus are mai,
that their aspirations are lawful, that there Is no
reason whv. 8i)Rnlnrdn like ourselves, they should
not have a free press, nor a proper representation In
Govorament, and all those constitutional guaran
tees to which the Spaniards of the Peninsula have a
riKlit: that there is no reason why a military and
absolute irovernmHiit. from the nienesi to mo low-
est giades in the scale, should be the only regime for
the Antilles: and that the moment has now pre
cisely arrived, let not the Government forget it, to
take advantaue of the Internal and external clrcuiu-
stances which favor political reform, urgently de
manded by the Spaniards of the Antilles, and which
it is just and prudent to grant without ueiay."
Further on in the same document tho Re
gent says:
"In the present state of civilization, we cannot
conceive ar-y country resigning Itself to bo governed
ii j no auBoiuie power, ami sun less can we conceive
mat any province should resign iuolf to be arid
trarlly and absolutely governed by the represent.
lion or tier slater provinces, for here there is not
only the want of guarnntees and securities that
exisi unuer an uusoiuie rfim, but tho humiliation
of being placed under people of the samo country."
The man who only two years aco wrote this
brief bnt pregnant statement of all-sufficient
reasons tor the Cubans declaring themselves
free and independent, is the present chief
magistrate of Spain.
Now, assuming what the highest political
authority in Spain concedes, that the Cubans
had a right to revolt; that they are praotically
unanimous; and that Spain has not of herself
tne requisite lorce to reduce them to submis
sion, the question which it would have been
highly satisiactory to us and the publio to
have had treated by Mr. Sumner, if he felt at
liberty to treat this subject at all is, what is
our duty as Americans ? What is the duty of
the Government at Washington in view of the
various considerations we have presented?
Shall thoy say to the Cubans, "We are sorry
for you, but these gunboats are sold at a good
price, and we can't interfere with the business
of our Bhip-builders. Your cause is just, but
yon are loo wean to iiom out against Spain.
You had better givo up the contest and make
the bftst terms yon can with your oppressors.
lrue, a foreign State holpod us to our inde-
1endence, but we have a claim for a few mil
ions from England that some people pretend
win ue compromised u we treat you as a neu
tral power :
Or, taking counsel of our neighborly sym
pathies, shnll we say to Spain: "The Cubans
are denied the rights which belong to a!l men,
of being represented in the Govornmont
which taxes their property; they are praoti
cally unanimous in resisting this oppression;
thoy have shown sufficient force as bellige
rents to drive you to our ports for vessels and
arms with which to crush thmn; they form no
integral part of the main body of your ivn-
piro. but are separated from it by a thousand
leagues of ocean; we will help you by our
mediation to effect an honorable arrangouient
with them, but you cannot have belligerent
privileges in our ports which are not equally
i 1 n- i. i 1 , '
enjoyed oy your uisuu eotea coioumis.
Ihese are tho issues upon which tne puoiic
would havo been glad to hear honaior num.
ner: thov are tho issues iinun which the Gov
ernment at Washington will be clad to have
light. They are practical issues, about
which there is a groat deal of deop and
anxious feelimr. of conscientious doubt in
this country. In their final decision we shall
mark an important epoch in the history of the
republic.
DOWN WIT!! THE GOLD GAMBLERS!
from the JV. 1'. Sun.
There are laws for tho suppression of com
mon gambling houses, which the police and
the courts occasionally enforce, n tne civu
authorities have the power to shut up the
places where faro and roulette lure men to
ruin, why should not the same principle ap
ply to the Gold Room, where not alone tne
fortunes of the participants are staked, but
where the peace and prosperity of the com.
monwealth are daily imperilled In the gam
bling "hell," as the place whore games of
hazard are played is very justly termed, the
welfare of individuals only is jeoparded, lhe
risk is well donned. There are certain
chances in favor of the "Bank." and the
player stakes his own or somebody else's
money with his eyes open. No "respoctable"
gambling-house keeper nowadays resorts to
marked cards or loaded dice, but, content with
tho percentage in his favor, "plays on the
square," and, if he loses, pays his money with
the same seeming lndinerence with which ho
would ruke in his gains.
Ordinary gambling may lead John Jones,
clerk, to rob his employer, or beggar his
family, and blast his own reputation, and
there is tho end of it; yet the law denounces
the practice as immoral and criminal, and
society makes war upon the common game
ster, and consigns him to the common jail,
But when brokers, bankers, and capitalists,
men occupying leading positions in the busi
ness community, engage in colossal gambling
operations, by which monetary values may be
so depreciated as to bring thousands to ruin;
when tho nutional securities may fall in price
so seriously its to obstruct tho whole course
of Government; when the broad of the poor
man may be enhanced in cost, and the value
of his labor bo lowered; w'.icn all the necessa
ries of life are appreciated, nil tho essential
elements that make up a well-ordered state of
society are disorganized and overturned, and
there is no assured taabnity anywhere, are we
to be told that there is no remedy to reach
the case.-1 Gambling conducted on so gigantic
a scale becomes legitimate and respectable,
forsooth, no matter how disastrous its con
sequences to the community at large !
Uut upon such canting stun : The men
who conspire to "corner" gold are no more
respectable man the men who play across
the green table, lho latter, it they be not
utterly destitute of the "honor" that is said
to obtain even "among thieves, sco-n to
take more than the chances of the game,
while the lormer resort to deliberate fraud.
Knowing that they hold the game in their
own nanus, that nowhere but ol them can
the commodity they buy of their dupes be
obtained, they go on inveigling men into
their toils, and, having secured an artificial
scarcity of the article they sell, put up tho
prices to any tabulous figures their want of
conscience may dictate. This, if it is not
gambling, as its votaries assert, is certainly
downright swindling. By superior cunning
and the power ol combination, they get their
victims into a "corner," and then offer them
the alternative of being robbed or ruined.
e have no sympathy with the bulls or
bears. They are alike indifferent to us, as
individuals, whether they lost or won in the
late encounter; and were the consequences of
these transactions visited solely upon them,
their practices might perhaps be tolerated.
But their machinations are productive of such
wide-spread disaster to innocent parties all
over the country, that they assume the mag
nitude of a publio evil which demands sup-
pression. it is a conspiracy against trade ana
.t . ... i
commerce in which they are engaged, ana our
statutes provide for the punishment of such a
conspiracy. The law oi conspiracy nas oeen
repeatedly invoked against laboring men
seeking to uphold the price ot their laoor;
why should it not be applied to these conspi
rators upon a grander scale f
GEARY'S VALOR.
From the AT. Y. World.
Here is another fact to supplement
Genry s record in the Mexican war.
The World has heretofore published the

to ishow how just that opinion was. During

Alirutad a bitter attack
from a Pennsylvania paper.
This paper came to Geary's notice when our
army was in occupation of the city of Mexico
and after General Quitman had returned to
Washington, though the aide in question was
still at headquarters. Thereupon, Colonel
Geary and his lieutenant-colonel, who was
equally implicated, sought out this aide, set
forth the slanderous report which was current
in PennHvlvnnin nrrnlnst them, and asked him,
a second-lieutenant fresh from West 1 omt, to
give them, two field-officers, a certificate of
couraee! TViia tLa oirlA promptly and de
cidedly declined to do. on the ground
of the glaring impropriety of an ofiicer of
his rank certifying the character of officers
of theirs, and pointed out to thom that
the fiThii.iHr.Ti f anr-Vi a testimonial as
they asked for would bring wore discredit
upon them than even their allowing the charge
of cowardice to fo unanswered. Moreover,
he informed them that he would not contra
dict the article, for that the statements ol lact
in it. as to their invisibility when wanted,
were perfectly correct, though the inf ereacos
of cowardice drawn from that fact miaht be
unwarranted.
That aide and second lieutenant of th war
of 1H17 was a division comuinnder in tho war
of I Kill, and served as such from the first
Bull Run to Appomattox Court House. The
facts here stated come directly from him, and
we are empowered to say that his nauio is
quite nt the service of General Geary if
General Geary chooses to apply at this office
ior it.
