’TIS YOUR DUTY! Congress Should Take up Financial Legislation. The imperative necessity for immediate action by the present ses--i< n of congress tijion the national banking question is being more i vividly illustrated now than ever tiefore by the euoru ous run upon the treasury for the n den ption of greenback notes in gold for egpor ration, as shown by the following from the Sentinel’s correspondent at Washington. On the 1-ltb day of this month the gold reserve in the treasury .amounted to $101,050,000, being i but $,050,000 above the amount which it is intended should be retained in the vaults of the treasury for the exclusive purpose of the redemption of greenbacks. Under our present loose and grotesque system of banking it is possible for a few banks in New York city to combine and force another issue of bonds within a few days, if they choose. That this system should be changed is not denied by any republican or democrat, yet the indications are that uo revision of these laws will lie made at this session of congress, for the sole reason that the republican minority in the senate will oppose any system that may be adopted by the majority in that body, no matter how beneficient and wise it may be. Could the average voter witness the action of the republican minority in the senate his mind as to the patriotism of the members of that party would be changed. Indeed, there Is very little else thought of save party aggrandizement. It is almost a burlesque on our present system of government. Any law, which will remove the power which is now vested in the hands of a few men of the country to control the issue of bonds by the government so as to break the endless chain that is constantly carrying the gold out of the treasury, would work advantageously to the country at large, and thus prevent a further increase of the national debt. An examination of the list of the names of those who are countinually presenting paper money at the sub treasury in New York for redemption in gold reveals the fact that a verj’ large percentage are foreigners. They are representatives of European banking houses, and, therefore, have no other object in view than to aid their foreign employes. During the last two days the treasury received notice from the lirmsof Lazard Freres, Barin Magoun & Co., Hoskier, Wood &Co., and Ladenbnrg, Thaimen & Co., that they would expect the sub-treasury to furnish them with $2,500,000 of gold for exportation within a few days. These shipments alone will bring the gold again down below the amount originally intended to be held there as a reserve. It would seem as though the New York bankers simply purchased the bondsof the government and deposited gold in the treasury therefor to be withdrawn within a few months. The condition of affairs lends interest to a statement as to the amount of gold mined intheUnited States during the last few years and a comparison with the amount of gold which was exported in excess of the amount returned te this country by reason of our foreign trade. The report of the director of the mint of this year shows that in 1889 there was mined in the United States $32,800,000 worth of gold. In that same year the excess of exportation over importation of this metal amounted to $49,667,427. In the year 1890 the total amount of gold mined in the United States amounted to $2,845,000, In that same year we exported 4,331,149 more dollars worth of gold than we imported. In the following year 1891, the gold mined in the United States amounted to $33,175,000. Our exports of this metal in that year amounted to $86,362,754, i while our imports amounted to but $18,232,567, thus leavings balance in favor of foreign nations of $68,- , 130,087. In 1892 the total amount of gold coined at the mints in the United States amounted to $33,- . 015,000. Ourexcess of exportation ; over importation during that year ij of this metal was $495,873. Duri ing the year 1883 we exported $87,- ' 506,463 more gold than we imported It is perfectly obvious to the average student that if this condition of affairs continues, our gold will leave us. It also illustrates clearly that is not sufficient gold in this w'orld to carry on commerce between nations. An International arrangement, therefore, by which silver can be used in the place of gold, should be the foremost question in the minds of all American legislators. Not only should our banking system be revised, but an international agreement should be reached by which silver will be equally acceptable to all of the leading nations of the world, with gold. This can only be accomplished

■ by a unity of action on the part ol both democrats and republicans, * and partisan legislation should cease and give place to legislation for the lx-tteriuent of <>ur countrymeu. Cloture should be adopted by the sei.ate so that important 1 i legislation would not be defeated Gby a never-ending stream of talk ’ from a few men who may oppose 1 the prop* sed legislationol the party I' in power. In international agree- > nient should be sought for by the i Unite«. States to establish an inter rational ratio between gold and silver so that the white metal would 1 be equally acceptable with the gold. If the rules of the senate were not I so loosely drawn it would be possible for the democratic party to accomplish some legislation upon this all-important subject, but as it is the majority find themselves powerless at the hands of the minority.
