OOLD RESERVE NOT SPARED The policy necessarily adopted of paying theses notes in gold bas not spared the gold reserve of $100,000 000 long ago set aside by the Government for the redemption of other notes, for this fund has already been sub. Jocted to the payment of new obligations, amounting to shout $150,000 000 on ascount of sliver purchases, and as a consequence for the first time sines Its crestion been ens eroached upon, OERER NATIONS PROFITED We have thus mada the depletion of our gold easy, snd have tempted other and more prociative Nations to add it to their stoek, That tha opportunity we have offered has not besa neglected js shown by large amounts of gold which have been recently diawn from our Treasury, snd exported to increases the financial strength of foreign Nations, The excess of exports of gold over its imports for the year i June 30, 1893 smountad to more than $47,500,000, THE SILYER DANGER, Between July 1, 1800, and July 15, 1808, the gold coin and bullion fn our Treasury decrensad more than $152,000,000, while during the same period the silver coin and bullion in the Treasury increase More than $147,000,000, Unless Government bonds are to be constantly fsened and sold to replenish our exhausted pold, only 0 be agaln ex hausted, it Is apparent that the operation of the sliver purchase law now in force, leads in the direation of the entire substitution of sliver for the gold In the Government Treas. ury, and that this must be followed by the yment of all Government obligations in fnprointed silver, stage gold and sliver must this oom and the Government must fall in ts etablished liey to maintain the two metals on a with each other, Given of uy over to the Satidsive Ne rr iny of ihe | ard of the comme L. the | dal world, we could no longer claim a place among Natlons of the first class, nor could our Government olaim a performance of its obligations, so far ns such an obligation has been imposed 1pon it, to provide for the uss of the people the best and safest money CAN'T 00 BINOLE-HANDED, 11, as many of its friends claim, silver oujsht to ocoupy a larger place in our cur- rericy and the currency of the world through general international co-operation and agroe- ment, it is obvious that the United Btates will not be In a position to gain a hearing in favor of such an arrangement so long os wo are willing to continue our attempt to accom- plish the result single-handed. EFFECT OF UNSTAPLE MONEY, The knowledge in business elrcles among our own people that our Government canpot make its flat equivalent to intrinsic value, nor keep inferior money on a parity with superior money by its own independent ef. forts has resulted in such a lack of con fidence at home, in the stability of currency values, that capital refuses its aid to new en- terprises while millions are actually with. drawn from the channels of trade and com- merce to become idle and unproductive in the hands of timid owners, Foreign Inves- tors, equally alert, not only decline to pur. chass American securities, but make haste to sacrifice those which they already have, It does not meet the situation to say apprehension in regard to the future of finan there is t in the j t inthe pr ery existence of this apg lence, howeve ought not for ¢ ©8 18 groun {less and that n for l dene Irposes r of the Gover: rehior un jerta we mintenanoe i} of sliver as the parit) ght be estim and perhaps in view of our un th and resources But maintain amount of £50,000.000 have fo dosom siive yoear:y is presented it.
