WasuincTon, D. 0., Nov 2, '97- Secretary Gage now owns up to the gold bond scheme, which so many Republicans took the trouble to deny when it was pub- hicly stated « short time ago that it would form the foundation of the administration’s attempt to secure financial legislation from Congress at the coming session. Mr: Gage’s statement to the Cab- inet has been made public, prob- ably with the Lope that it will meet fayor with the people to a snfficient extent to influence Sen- ators who are naturally opposed to such a scheme, which, for bamboozling purposes, Mr. Gage calls anti-radical in charactér, This country fought the greatest war of modern times without finding it necessary to issue a single gold bond, yet, now, in a time of peace and boasts of con- tinued and increasing prosperity, the administration will ask Oop- ‘gress to authorize the issue of a sufficient quantity of gold bonds to refund the entire bonded in- debtedness of the country and to add a hundred or two million to the gold reserve fund. Some ot the arguments advanced in favor of the change are little short of ludicrous. For instance, when Mr. Gage says that making our entire bonded indebtedness pay- ablein gold “would strengthen and confirm the public credit and put us in a position to com- mand the markets of’the world for our securities on the most ad- vantageousterms.” Every school boy knows that we already occu- py that position ; that the securi- ties of no country on earth are in greater demand all over the world than those of the United States. Mr. Gage repeats the Cleveland Carlisle recommendation that the greenbacks and Treasury Notes be retired, and offers as a sub-- stitute the probable incraase of National Bank notes that would follow the adoption of his recom- mendation to allow National Banks to be established with a capital of $25,000 in towns of Jess that 2,000 inhabitants and to allow all National banks to issue notes to the par value of the bonds they have deposited witb the government to secure their circulation. Taken all in all, the financial recommendations of the ‘present administration bear a close resemblance to those of _ the Oleveland-Carlsle regime, and the following words written to Mr. Gage, after telling about ROW on account of bountifui _ Grops, ete. indicate that the ad- ‘Mnluistration might even follow iS ve ie ‘ ’ Rr 8 sland s example in giving ‘to fear that it may keep him out how prosperous the conntry ig} What letter in the alphabet is Congress: “Unfortunately these good cenditions cannot be assur-, ed to us: Commerce and, a try, sensitive to all unfavorable events, and watebful with anxicty| against dangers as yet unseen, need for their fall rehabilitation from past reverses and depres— sions a renewec confidence that the governments finances are to be firmly placed on stronger and more enduring foundations than now exist.” {nother words, the establishment of the single gold standard by law, instead of by the will of an administration, a3 at present, is demanded. The difference ‘between demanding and getting from Congress will soon be apparent from the admin- istration. How the Dingley tariff law acts to reduce our trade with Mexico —trade which naturaily belongs to us, is shown by the following remarks of Mr. E. i. Stillson, now in Washington, who has been in Mexico for fitteen years, as manager of a Philadelphia silyer mining company: “This country, Lihink. is not pursuing exactly the right pojicy in its re- lations to Mexico. We ought, by right of contiguity to have almost a moncpoly of the trade -of the sister republic. Every body knows that instead of buying the bulk of its imports from the United States that Mexico pre- fers te get them of France and Germany. The reason for this is that we have put a high tariff on Mexican products, and so the Diaz government think it proper to get back at us by levying a stiff duty on American wares. The goods of France and other toreign countries are not so heavily taxed, and therefore crowd yankee products out of the market. As long as we levy such high tribute against them, re may expect t> see their trade almost moropolized by trans- Atlantic countries.” Notwithstanding the jollying that Attorney General McKenna has been publicly giving himself for his work 1n helping the Hunt- ington syndicate make sure of geiting the Union Pacific Rail- road at a price admitted to be many millions below the actuai value of the property, he is said of that coveted seat onthe bench of U. 8. Supreme Court, to which he will be nominated in a few weeks, He knows that there are a number of Senators who are thoroughly posted on this whole U. P. buriness, and he has a dread lest they should see fit to either hold up or deteat his nom- ination to succeed Justice Field, as a pucishmentfor his counec- tian with the deal.

When opened the finder was nearly overpowered by finding ia the box gold and paper money amounting to $50,000. It is not known when or by whom the money was buried, or if it was the proceeds of an express rob- bery, or belonged to a Swedish nobleman, who lived a number of years on Beaver Island, dying there about two or three years ago: Plowing Over Graves.
