The tide of gold has changed, and is
now flowing rapidly toward the United
States. The European holders of Am
erican securities realised heavily on
their investments, and this and ether
causes took the gold out of the country.
Stocks have fallen so that they have be-
, come an attractive investment, and this
is inducing a return of the precious
metal. A bumper wheat crop is being
sold at a high price and before long the
pay therefor will be received. AH these
causes are contributing to swell the
. available volumn of circulating medium,
so that within a few months money will
be plentiful throughout the country,
and bankers will be eager to loan it at a
reasonable rate.
Why would it not have been as well
since temporary relief only was desired
for the government to have made an
issue of sufficient amount of greenback
currency, receivable for all dues, public
or private, and retirable at the will of
' the government? Possibly the fresi
; dent, without the sanction of Congiess,
has no power to make such an issue,
and it is doubtful whether be has not
now exceeded his legal power; but, so

functions of money and be acceptable to

she demonstrated the fertility of her

mineral resources of coal, asphfllturn,

placa her in the front ranks. And her
