THE regulations for the collection of the

The Berliner patent has been declared

It Is charged against Secretary Gresham
by some of his critics that he has ulun
dered grossly in his action with reference
to the outrages in Armenia. Apporcntly
these captious persons wholly forget that
Mr. Gresham seems to believe that that
is what he is there for.

When quacks like Mr, Carlisle begin to
tinker with the currency, capital begins
to convert Itself Into gold and seek hiding
places in secret vaults. The financial pol
icy of the Administration bears all the
outward signs of a well planned scheme
to retard the great business revival of
which the result of the .Vovemljcr election
was the promise.
President Cleveland has shaken Con
gress oil his hands temporarily, and gone
down the coast on a revenue cutter to In
otltute the Democratic policy of destruc
tion among the canvas-back ducks. If
the gentleman's aim is no better than It
has proved in his gunning expeditions
against the American eagle, his present
trip is not likely to result In any alarming
slaughter.

openly demand as tho peoullar advantage
of the proposed system, would bo made
under circumstances especially calculated
to render them unsound. Where the
lender Is passionately eager to get his
notes Into circulation, he Is apt to make
loans which at other times would be re
jected as unsafe. Instead of helping tho
Treasnry, this financial revolution would
enormously Increase existing distrust.
Indeed, before any such bill as that of
the Administration could pass, the with
drawal ot gold from the Treasury would
probably suffice to convince almost every
one, If not President Cleveland himself,
that the plan could not be carried with
out disaster. Persistency and obstinacy
are sometimes valuable. But obstinate
blindness In the presence of danger, per
sistent refusal to see facts which conflict
with partisan purposes, are not qualities
tending to produce wise financial manage
ment. The best thing that can be douo
with the wildcat bank bill Is to kill it at
once, and thus to stop an agitation and
an uncertainty which are preventing the
recovery of trade and Industry.
