Ol'tt CSronTfNATE rtNANCZAL PLIGHT. Oar unfortunate financial plicht is not the reoult ot untoward events nor of condition related to our natural resources; nor is it traceable to tmy of the aailrttous which frequently check national crowth and prosperity. With plcntcora crops with atuadant promts of remunerative production and manufacture, with unusual Invitation to safe Investment and with satisfactory assurance to business enterprise, suddenly Mnacclal distrust and fear 'have sprung up on every side Numerous moneyed Institutions hav? ituspendrd le.-nuse abundant assets were not Immediately available to meet the demand of frightened depositors. Surviving corporations and Individuals are content to keep in hand the mosey they are usually anxious to loan, end those encased in legitimate besine-s arc aarprlsed to find that the securities they offer for loans, though heretofore satisfactory, re bo leaser accepted. Value, supposed to be fixed, are fast becoming conjectural, and less and failure nave Invaded every branch of bwlncss. thf. somen: or DtsmrsT. I believe these things are principally changeable to ronfrrcsslonal legislation touching the purchajc and colnace cf silver by the cencral jrovernraent. This legislation I embodied in a ittatute pa.vd on the llth day of July, which was the culmination of muchazitatlon a the subiect Involved, and which may be considered a trure. after a lens strerEle. between the advocates of free silver coinage -sd those intending to te more conservative. A DUSAPPOrXTHfC ItmCt.T. Undoubtedly the monthly purchases by the 'orcrnmtnt of i0AH ounces of silver, enforced cniler that statute, were resarded by those Interested in silver production ai a certain guaranty of It increase la i rke The reslt, however, has been entirely different, for immediately following a spasmodic and slbht the price of silver tegaa to fall after the ssi?e of the act, and has since reached the lowest jjolnt ever known. This disappointing tomtit baa led to renewed and persistent effort In the direction of free silver coinage, rvir. rrrccTs acccmulatikg. Tat-eanwhllc. not only arc the evil effects of the coloration of tho present law constantly accnBuh.'Jn;, but the result to which its execution must inevitably lead is tccomlsc palpable to all who rive the least heed to linanciat subjects. This law provides that In payment for the t00.a) ounces of silver bullion, which the secretary of the treasury Is commanded to purchase monthly, there hall tw issued treasury notes redeemable on demand in cold or silver coin, at th discretion of the secretary of the treasury, and that said notes may te reissued. NO BISCHETTON LEFT THE SECUEX.UtT. It I. however, declared in th act to he "the est lih-d policy of the United State to maintain the two metals on a parity with each oth'r upon the rresent lecal ratio or srh ratio as may 1 provided by .v.v." This derlaraWon o rtintrots th atlon of the srritary of the treasury as to prevent him exer. lslfttf the discretion nominally vested In him. If by wh action the parity between cold and Mirer may 1 disturbed. Manifestly a refuse,! ly the secretary t jay these treasury notes la cold. If demanded, would neeesarlly result :n their discredit and depreciation ss oMieaUea payable only In sliver, and waul 1 destroy the parity between the two metals by establishto a discrimination in favor of cold. THE GßUI DHA1S KXPLAtXEP. TJp to the fifteenth day ef July. IfOX these notes had been issued In payment of s irrer bullion purchases to the amount of more than 1117.00 .O.C. While all but a very small quantity of this bullion remains cneolned and without usefulness la the trearary. many of the notes clven in Its pvrchaso have been paid m cold. This Is Illustrated ty the statement that between the 1st day of May, IKS. and the 15th day of July, 138, the notes of this hind issued In payment for silver bullion nuacrantcd to a little more than tl.o.0J0, and 'that during tb same period about t9.t0.C were paid out In sold for tho redemption ot auch notes. THE GOLD RESERVE 50T RPAKKD. The policy necessarily adopted of payms Chesc notes In sold has not f pared the cold rcecveof l),),Ui)lonB ajfo set aside tythe rrrmm nt for the redemption of other notes, lor this fund has already been subjected to .the payment of new obllpatlons amounting to iout 81M.WQro on account of Mlver purebaes. and as & roneiuence has. for the flrst time since Its creation, tccn encroached upon. We bare thus mado tho depletion of our cold easy, and have enabled other and more appreciative nation to add It to their tock. Ttiat the opportunity we have offered has not been neglected is shown by the large amounts at gold whirh have been recently draws from our treaniry and exported to Incn-ase tho flaanclat strength ot foreitrc nations.

hausted ga'.A, only tt. oe aats exhausted. It Is ippareat that the operation ?f the silre pur ch:se law now In force leads tt the direction of the entire substitution of Ihrer f or the koM In the government treaiury and that this must te followed by the paynieut of a!I ifovernweut obligations In depreciated llvcr. the corr-HMtiuvrs diluima. At this ta;e cold and silver must part coav uny and th xoterament must establish a policy to maintain the two metals on a parity with each tber Otr-n over to the exclusive ue of a turrenry creatly depreciated accordIn to the standard ot the commercial orld, we could no loncer claim a place asaons natlonH of the clavs. nor could itur covcramcnt claim a performance of Its obligations, so far as such an obligation has been lmtood upon It. to provide for the use of the people the best and safest money. CAN XOT WORK SINGLE HAKPEtl. If. a many ef Its friends claim, silver ought to occupy a larger place In our ccrreury and the currency et the world through general international co deration and agreement, it Is obvious that the United States will not tie la a position to gain a hearing in favor of such an arrangement so lone a we are willing to continue our attempt to accomplish the result in-gle-ha&ded. THE ErrECT IS BCsUM&Ä ClRa.BS. The knowledge In business circles among our own people that our government can not make Its Hat equivalent to Intrinsic value, nor keep Inferior money on a parity with uperlor money by it own Independent eSorts. ha resulted la such a lack of confidence at home, la the stability of eurreucy values that capital refuses

Its aid to new enterprises, while millions are i n'Ä lthWn, wmt,f M.d of iJe ( and commerce to tecome Idle and unproduc ttve tn the hands of timid owners. Foreign In vestors, equally alert, not only decline to purchase American ecurltle. but make haste to sacrifice those which they already have. A XIIIN ACE NOT TO BE IISHEG.VRI)E9. It does not meet the situation to say that ap rrehcr.iIon .n regard to tho future of our I finance is groundless, and that there Is no reason for lack of confidence in the purposes of power of the government In the premises. Tha very existence of this apprehension and lack of confidence, however caused. Is a menace which ought not for a moment to be disregarded. I'oäsiblv If the under- . v I ta.uns we have In hand were the maintenance I ot a specific Known quantitr of silver at a parity with cold, our ability to do -u ml.-ht fc et tmated and gaugesl. and perhaps. in view ot o-jr unparalleled growth and resources might e favorably passed upon. Bat vrhen our avowed endeavors to maintain such parity in regard to an amount of silver increasing at the r.te of Ki0.flJro) yearly with no fixed termina tion t- .-.neb increase, it can hardly I e sai.l that a pro! km is presented whos solution Is free from douot. ESTITLtD TO A SOUND AND STAHLE CCRREXCT. The people of the United SUtes are entitled to a sound and stable curreao?. and to money j recognized as such on every exchange and in ' every raarket of the world. Their government has no right to injure them by financial expert- J mnts opposed to the policy and practice of , other civilized slate nor. is it justified tn permlttlng an exaggerated and unreasonble reliance In our national strength and ability to jeIrdiie the soundness of the jeople'a money. ; A DOVE THE TLANE OF IMRTT POLITICS. j This matter rles atove the plane of party politics. It vitally concerns every business i and calling, and enters every household in th9 ' land. There is one Important aspect of the subject which especially should never be over- ! looked. At times like the present, when the evils of unsound finance threaten us, the speculator may anticipate a harvest gath- ' ered from the misfortune of others.

One ot the createst statesmen our country has known, speaking more than fifty years ago when a derangement of the currency had caused commercial distress, said; The very man of all others who has the Vpest Interest la a sound currency, and who suffers most by mischievous legislation in money matter?, is the man who earns his dally bread oy his dally toIL ' These words are as pertinent now as on the day they were uttered, aad ought to impressively remind us that a failure in the discharge of our duty at this time must especially Is jure those of our countrymen who lator. and who. because of their numter and condition, are entitled to the most watch ful care of their government. the Dtmr or conches It is of the utmost importance that such relief as congreis can afford In the existing situation be afforded at once. The maxim: "Ho gives twic who elves quickly." Is directly appllcnhle. It may ho true that the embarrassments from which the business of the country Is suffering arose as much from evils apprehended as from those actually existing. We may hie. too. that calm counsels will prevail, and that neither the capitalists nor the wage-earn '-rs will Rive way to unreasoning panic, and crlrke their property or their interests under the influence of exaggerated tears. DEL.tr ENHANCES THE DANGER. Nevertheless, every day delay In removing one of the plain and principal causes of the present täte of thlnss enlarges tho mischief already -lone and Increases th responsibility of tho government for lis exltenco. Whatever el" the people have a right to expect from congress, they may certainly demand that legislation condemned by the onteü of threo years' disastrous , rrvrliir Kalt w mmiyivl trntn f ti Kt?f a books as soon as their representatives can legitJmat.'ly deal with th-rr TARIFE ISCrOItM TEMPOHAHILT SIDE-TRACKED. It was tar pmrose to summon congress in srecial session early In th coming September that we might enter promptly upon the work of tariff reform, vhleh the true Interests of the country clearly demand, which so large a majority of the peoplo as shown by their suffrages desire and expect, and to the accomplishment of which every effort of the present administration Is pledged. Hut while Inrif reform has lost nothing of Its immediate and permanent importance, and must In the Eearfntureengagn

The committee appointed by the house free-silver caucus met yesterday morning tit tht? house judiciary committee room for the purpose of preparing :t measuri!, favorable to silver, to submit to tho house. Tho nnti-silvcr representatives m:t in tho room of tho houso committee ott naval affairs, and then joined the frotisilver people itinhe. judiciary committee room. The five-silver people submitted their measure to t lie opposing forces unit a diseussMon of the matter followed. X ngreetrent was reached, and the conference udjourntd shortly after PJ for un hour. The proposition in regstrd to the ratio of coinage advanced by the freesilver men was opposed by the anti-

silver men, and when the conference took a recess the anti-silver repreI sentatives met to further discuss tho matter. They were also tumble to reach an agreement respecting the conduct of the discussion of the bill to In; prepared by the committee of the free-silver caucus. j isoon after the house adjourned the i silver and anti-silver advocates held j separate conferences. The anti-silver men adjourned about Ü.'Ilü and proceeded to the house judiciary committee room for a further conference with the free-silver men. A prominent anti-silver man stated that the matter had now uurrowed down to the question as to which. proposition repeal or five coinage should be voted on first. This question is now being discussed. Secretary Carlisle is credited with advising the anti-silver men to insist on the unconditional repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law, and to reach a vote on the subject as soon as possible. The conference of the silver ami antifcilver men lasted half an hour, after which they adjourned without reporting an "agreement. The anti-silver men insisted on offering a bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the isherman law, allowing tho free-silver IK-ople to offer additions to it. The free-silver men would not agree to this. They wished to put in a free-coinage bill, and allow the other side to bring in the amendments. Tho matter was discussed, but neither side would yield, so an adjournment was taken until this morning. The anti-silver men met last night to further consider the matter. The free-coinage men continued in session on the subject. The anti-silver men in insisting on taking the atlirmative side in the silver fight, claim tliat they represent the wishes of the administration and hold that to yield to the demand of the free-coinage men would lie a backdown on the part of the administration. The conference lnstcd nearly two hours, and nt its conclusion those in attendance congratulated themselves that the action taken was the liest under the circumstances. A proposition will be made to the silver men to-day to close the debate in ten days and then vote on the different propositions regarding free-coinage, different ratios and an unconditional repeal of tho purchase clause. Mr. Coekran and the other anti-silver leaders expressed themselves as hopeful that this plan will be agreed to. While it cannot be positively stated, it is more than probable that the bill will be introduced in the house to-day, or at any rate by Monday after noon, when the debate will be commenced. Ilnth Sides Opposed to It. Washinotox, Ang. 11. A now phase of the silver question was presented to the attention of lnemliers of congress yesterday, in the shape of an appar ently authorized proposition from Lon don bankers, backed by the hnghsli h t government, to leading New York financiers, in which it was asserted that if the United States would maintain the present Sherman law on the statute boolcs Kngland would renew the free coinage of silver in India at the increased ratio of 24 to I. The most painstaking search fails to produce a single senator who ever heard the idea suggested, and when the proposition was unfolded it was seen that both silver and nnti-silver advocates were opposed to it.
