The rise in the price of wheat will result in little profit to the Willamette ; valley, since the Southern Pacific Co., . which has a monopoly of the carrying trade in that valley at this season of the year, when the water of the Wil lamette "jiver' ig too" low to admit-of " river transportation, has -fixed a tar ill on wheat that eats tip the rise.

PATRIOTISM AND;? ANARCHY. Whero anarchy ceaaei and patriot : ismbegins is indeed a delicate 'point, if we are to believe, the discussions that have, been presen ted during the present campaign. - The Chicago plat- form has been denounced as anarchis- ; ' tic for the following declaration: "We demand the frcehnd unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present larval notiri rtt Tft 1 nif-.iMit-. urn i t.i n r ' for the aid or consent; of any other I nation.'

But to say that we '' will enact a financial policy of our own, independ ent of England, Germany or France, is anarchism.

" ' i - -1 . ' ' " The "national'democrats"' who have induced Palmer and Buckner to put themselves up as" secondary adjuncts to MeKinleyV campaign, must gather considerable consolation in the turn affairs' are. taking. Even the politi cians who are patting them on the back' make no attempt to conceal the contempt in which they, are held. Col. Bob. lngersoll made a speech in Chicago the other day, and this is the kindly reference ho mac a to McKin ley':) allies, the "national democrats:" "Brother Palmer is a kind of decoy duck, while his running- mate is a stool pigeon, and they say: ' We want to beat Bryan vote for us. And some fellow in the crowd said; 'Do you expect to be elected?' 'Oh no, wo are just running to catch the votes of democrats who have not sense enough to vote according to their own judg ment, according to their own con science Wo want to catch a few pet rifactions that want to stick to the democratic party so as to have it on their tombstones.' 'Why. don't you expect to be elected?' 'No.' 'Then of course you want McKinley elected.' And poor old Palmer will have to say 'yes.' and then the man in the crowd will say: 'Why don't you -vote for him, then?'" ' Whether it is grateful for the sup porters of McKinley to make such al lusions to Palmar aud Buckuer is an open question, but the accuracy of the description leaves nothing to explain VERSATILE BUTTER WORTH. Last Saturday night Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, - of Ohio, delivered a speech in Walla Walla in behalf of Major McKinley andthegold standard. In his opening remarks, Mr. Butter, worth said: . "My countrymen, the first step to wards a fai discussion in candor. I think the most essential thing in a discussion is sincerity. I have nothing but profound contempt for a man who attempts to mislead bis friends. The man who tries to mislead is not a good politician, is not a good neighbor, is not a good citizen."" Continuing, Mr. ; Butterworth went .into' a lengthy discussion, of.the finan cial question, holding up the beauties 'J ot tnegold standard, inougn proiessmg to be a bimetalist, and also laid great stress upon the tariff, and asserted a re-enactment of the McKinley tariff law was the only sure meaus of creat ing prosperity throughout the land. To Bay the " least, Mr. Butterworth is placed in rather a peculiar position as a missionary to this coast, especially when he asserts one of the essential things in tho discussion is "sincerityj" since in 1890 he was one of the most conspicuous opponents among the republicans of McKinley's tariff nolicv. ' and for many years has been a pronounced advocate of the free coinage of ' silver, refusing until after the meeting of the St. Louis convention to adhere to any policy ex cept the independent coinage ofsilver and go'd by the United States-' In senate document No. 235, Fifty- fourth congress, ' first session, Mr, Butterworth'9 views upon the finan cial question are embalmed in the form of a letter to Senator Teller. -This letter was dated March 26, 1S9G some thing over six months ago The writer alleged that England and other credi tor nations had" procured the demone tization of silver for the purpose of manipulating the money of the world to their advantage. . "An. honest pur pose to pay the last poor scruple that is due our-creditors," exclaimed. Mr. Butterworth, "is wholly consistent with a refusal to permit the creditors to reduce the volume of money avail ablt for business purposes by one- half take one-fourth ot the balance out of circulation thu3 in effect sub stantially reducing " the debt paying power of the money loaned to us, and at' the same time doubling the pur chasing power of the balance, and com pelling payment in the money thus overvalued; that is, compelling double payment.' The distinguished gentleman from Ohio was not deceived at that time by the pretense' that" gold was the Only j honest money. "The policy," he said, "has been promoted in the name of an honest dollar, the descriptive term 'honest' being used for what 'has prov ed, to :be the dishonest purpose of fleecing "every producer in the land, until the people, debt-ridded, tax-rid den, monopoly-ridden . and"' mortgaged to the lipt-are in a state of rebellion Was an honest dollar mado.to perform a mission so dishonest?" . i, Mr. Butterworth then went on ' to describe the combination in Vi-hose service he is now engaged in . the fol lowing .severe terms: "Nothing can be more natural and appropriate than . an alliance between tho e- who favor an extreme tariff and those , who oppose bimetalism. The triumph o'f 'such a condition in our country would present a people divided into two : classes 'beasts of burden and beasts of prey' Nor did the Tionorable Ohioan stop hei e, but continued his arraignment of the classes in his letter to Senator Tel ler, saying: "I find, that persons em ployed in the Various industries and avocations of life, those who Linclon was accustomed to call the plain peo ple, and who are the salt of the earth and strength of this nation, in estimat ing the character and effect of the in fluences that have gained supreme con. trol in this nation,' feel that the repre sentatives of the monopolistic com bines in one form and another have too firm a grip on the legislative and ad ministrative branches -of government for the grip to ba easily broken. Their power in the social cirele is great; in politics, omnipotent; it is controlling in business; it owns or controls the press, and is naturally influential with the pulpit; so it results that they - are Tor tne time masters oi the agencies that guide and mold private opinion and control public judgment and "pub lic action; and it results, inevitably that there is left to the plain people only a beggarly account of the agen cies and instrumentalities with which to.fisht their battles and .protect their rights." . Mr. Bryan remarked on one occasion that the republican idea was that ' we should make employers prosperous and let some of their prosperity filter down upon their workmen, while the demo cratic idea was that we . should " build up the prosperity of all. on the" broad base of the welfare of the masses. Mr. Butterworth had the same thought when he said: . "Extreme protectionists urge legis lation in the interest of enabling men to be employed by others.- It would be wiser to 'so legislste that a cumber of men could employ themselves, thus in creasing the number of citizens who have a stake in the soil, an interest in the industry, as independent proprie tors, thus inakin? them the truardians of focial order and the pillars of the state. Reducing the number of inde pendent citizens and multiplvinsr over and over again those who are depend ent is not wise. . "Such a policy hangs all our clothes on one nail that is. a few eraplovers and armies of employees... Work for the many, but profit for the few." ' These were truths six months aeo. according to Mr. Butterworth's ideas, but they are not truths now, if his Walla Walla speech was an honest in dex to his beliefs. Therefore we must conclude that Mr. Butterworth is most versatile; that be has been chameieon ized; that he has been "seen" by Mark Hanna, and that the "sincerity" he prates about is of a very thin texture. PUOPHETS AND FACJS. The republican party is making its campaign on the gift of prophecy and the unknown terrors of monometalism That variety of monomttalisiu which we now enjoy more or less based on the gold standard, has no terrors for them, but should the basis b changed to silver, then by so magic of finance things unspeakable will happen. If by chance one will say that monomet alism will not bo the result of free sil ver coinage tho angry reply co-nes back, "You are ignorant. You are pre sumptuous, You are a farmer," Mr. Schoon maker would say "you are a liar." You may esteem yourself for tunate if you are not called an anarch ist ora pirate or the Lord knows what. The men who favor free-silver coin age maintain that it will not bring about monometalism aud a depreciated currency, and in this view it is worth while to consider what motiomotalism on a silver basis would entail. First, as to international exchanges it would give the United States an enormous advantage in trade with Chiha, Mex ico and the other countries tothesotith and west whose business is done on a silver basis. There would be no ques tion of discounting exchanges where currencies are at par one with the other. We want that trade." England has most of it now. Can England af ford to give the United States the enormous advantage of a currency in terchangeable dollar or dollar with the money of tho most populous coun tries of the earth? Those people are buyers mostly of manufactured pro ducts. It is a peculiarly beneficial trade. If in our exchanges we speak the same financial language a3 thoso countries wo shall escape the friction and expense of translation. Here, then, is one inevitable result of the monometalism and the depre ciated currencv with which we are so solemnly and sometimes abusively- threatened. Does . anybody suppose that Eugland would permit us to re tain that advantage whan she can so easily put herself on equal terms by adopting bimetalism herself? That is one way to get international bimetal ism. - Perhaps some one will say that we should lose the trade of England while Wo are gaining that of the countries on a silver basis. England buys nothing of consequence from America but breadstuff's and cotton. Now, if she could find a couctry on a gold basis able to supply her with bread, no doubt all her trade would go there. But there is no country in the world on a purely gold basis that produces the ce reals in quantity except America. The same thing is true of cotton. Then the prophets continue and say British bondholders' will rush their secureties in upon us and make us settle, wrecking every institution in the land and we might add losing half the money they, have loaned us. The facts are the British bondholder is no fool and will do no such thing. The latest prophecy, promulgated by Mr. Schoonmaker in The Dalles, is that the depositors on bank will rush in on their bankers just en soon as Bryan is elected, demand their deposits in gold, break the banks and cause a general panic. That is the bank depositors are going to ruin the country, and thereby ruin themselves, which is altogether improbable. This prophecy . when compared with the others and"" with facts, will not strike a great amount of terror among the votes, for " they all have confidence in the patriotism of the American popple. ? - WIIY GOL D HIDES?' Who ever heard of an individual who wished to hoard money who did not select gold for the purpose? v. Who ever heard of an individual who had money to lend who did not. wish to have payment guaranteed in gold? These two ..questions are . asked by the Century Magazine, and are offei ed as an argument for the retention of the gold standard. : - '.:-.- Since gold has appreciated and con tinues to appreciate, it is not likely- that anybody ever has heard of a hoarder of money who did not want that money to be gold, for the simple reason its purchasing power bids fair to be greater in the future than at the time it was taken out of circulation and active employment. It is to prevent the hoarding of any class of money that the advocates of free coinage con tinued. So long as there is a certainty that gold will appreciate it will go into hiding, from the fact that it is a sure investment. It will continue to be withdrawn from active use and be laid away in safe deposits, to lay and rust and increase in value, but whenever, by any act of legislation, it is made to depreciate, through some other metal being allowed' to perform the office of primary money, it will cease to appre ciate, hence crawl out of its hiding and go into active use. ; Will not the free coinage of silver accomplish this end? The ' United Stpte, together with . most the other leading commercial nations, usesgold as the basis of value, consequently the demand for that metal becomes great and its value, governed by the laws of supply and demand, appreciates. But let silver be made a money of equal redemption powers with gold, and the demand for the latter decreases and its purchasing power begins to fall, while the price of all other pi operties, meas ured in gold, must rise. Then as gold depreciates, it will cease to be profita ble to hoard it, and it will come out of hiding and be invested in properties that are on the rise. The second question can to be an swered "no." The loaner of money most assuredly wants his securities paid in gold, because, under existing conditions, with gold appreciating, he derives, besides the' interest on the obligation he holds, the benefit of the rise in the price of the metal in which the.obligation shall be paid. '" It is unquestionably to the interest of the money hoarder and the money lender that the gold standard be main tained, but since they lorm ' a -very small proportion of the population, it is not necessary that it bd retained solely for their profit. The majority certainly are entitled to some con sideration. Their interests are para mount to tho interests of the minority. ; IS THIS ANARCHYf Bryan is denounced by his opponents as an anarchist, a traitor, a repudiator and a dem-.-gogue. . If he is an anarch ist, he talks like a law-abiding citizen; if he is a traitor, he talks like a Datriot. In addressingan audience at Sidney, Ohio, the other day he quoted a letter from Mark Hanna, calling on the people who intended to vote the re publican ticket to hang the American flag from their windows on October 31. He then said: . "- -; ''My friends it is the first time I know of, that! have ever agreed with tha chaii man of the republican national committee, but I want tositrn my name to his letter and alkali those who believe in the ideas set forth there to display the flag on the 31st of Oct ober, because there is nothing in that letter but what wo advocates of free silver endorse. Now note what he says, he wants the fUg displayed by all thoge who, on the 3d of November, intend to yott for the preservation of our national honor. We advocates of fie silver believe that by having a financial policy made by American people for American people , you can support the honor of the United States. He wants those to disphty a flag who are for sound money. We who believe in tho money of the constitution "are for sounder mony than those who want to change our currency into pounds, shillings and pence. We who believe in a basis for our financial transactions sufficiently broad for tho-e transactions to rest upon, be lieve in a sounder financial system than those who advocate the gold standard and a financial system based upon gold alone when you cannot get gold to furnish your foundation.. We not only believe in sound money, but we tell you what wo moan by sound money, and do not play the hypocrite by talking sound money and then re fusing to explain what tho terms mean. He wants those who aro going to vote for the advancement of our people's interests and general prosperity to display the American flag. Myfrionds, we believe in opening the mints to the coinage of stiver at IS to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. This means the ad vancemant of the people and general prosperity, and, therofore, we can join with these men in displajing the American flag and let it be known to the country we are standing by the flag and that we are not asking foreign natiens what that flag shall mean." AN IRON DOLLAR. A campaign document entitled '"Present Problems" has come to our notice The publication contains an article by Alexander P. Hull, in A'hich the writer has struck a "brilliant" idea that of casting pig iron into money. He ridicules the idea that silver can be maintained at 10 to 1, and says if it can pig iron dollars could be made to perform the same office. He of course takes no idea of the fact that at tho ratio of 15 to 1 the supply of silver and gold in the world is very nearly equal, and submits the silly argument that if government stamp is all that is required to give money value, iron would answer the purpose the same as any other metal. Under the present system, with gold as the standard of all money, his theory would be all right. Iron could be made a subsidiary coin, and the gov ernment stamp would cause it to circu late at par the same as copper cents, nickels and paper money, do, with something of real value back of them, in fact, under the beautiful gold stand ard, bur "learned" financiers have acted unwise in purchasing silver bul lion to coin into money. They have gone to needless expense in trying to make something out of nothing, and the taxpayers of the country are pay ing for this poor finarciering every time a dollar of interest has been paid i on the bonds that have been issued to maintain the gold standard.- ' But the demand of thoso who insist upon the free coinage of silver is" not to make' something out of nothing, and and their contention that the ratio be fixed at 16 to 1 la not unreasonable. As-stated before, the volume of the two metais, gold and silver, in the world, at the ratio of 15i to 1, is very nearly equal, hence when 1G to 1 is es tablished by any one of the leadicg commercial nations, and its mints are thrown open to tho unrestricted coin age of both metals, that nation is sim ply establishing a ratio that, is fitted to the supply of the two metals, and .the act of that nation will be followed by all others. - The comparison between the silver dollar and the iron dollar -has no weight. ' If the idea of making some thing out of nothing were tenable, then tho free coinage of. iron . into money -might have weight, and the ef fort of Mr. Hull to ridicule bear ; some weight, but since this is not a conten tion of the silverites, his "brilliancy" reflects his own ignorance, and shows that his iron dollar proposition could only prevail under a gold standard. . IT IS. TOO NARROW., The Oregon State Journal, hitherto a staunch republican paper, edited by Secretary of State -Kincaid,"presehts the following expressive picture of the financial situation: "For some years tho chrysocratic press has been having spasms over the loss of gold by this country, and pre dieting its complete retirement if the agitation for free coinage was not stopped in this country. Now on the eve of the - first presidential election upon i which the question is plainly submitted to the vote, of the people, we see gold coming this way by the millions, and England is having fits trying to hold enough of the tricky metal to do business with. ' If we 'vote McKlaley in the old process will be renewed and gold will go the other way, as it did in 1S91 and '92 under the old McKinley tariff, and then wo will be the parties doing tbesquealing. Like a narrow blanket on a bed con taining six boys the supply of gold is a' ways uncovering one .iation or another. It is a beautiful system for those who like it." KEEP YOVIi EYES ON THIS. The first is from the republican national platform, which no doubt most voters have ere tbis committed to memory: " We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of bilver except by Inter nationar agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved." ; And the. next is from a leaflet that is being widely circulated and pretty generally published by the gold press : .'In;J8T8, 1883, 1892 three interna tional conferences held to try to re establish the use of silver were unsuc cessful." Now draw your own conclusion as to what value there is in the first promise For a state that is certain to go for McKinley, as the gold-standard press says Oregon is, it seems to us the man agers are putting forth an unusual effort by sending their best speakers into every hamlet and village. ' . Mark Hanna has no monopoly of the American flag. His effort to create the impression that the supporters of McKinley are the only true patriots, by calling upon them to display the stars and stripes on Oct. 31, is mot- by the supporters of Bryan with ,be evi dence that they are loyal citizens, and they too will display the national colors on that day. Were occasion to demand.Bryan and the so-called "popo crats" would be as ready to defend the honor of the nation as would be the aost ardent supporters of Mr. McKin ley. History shows that the "com mon" people have been the nation's defender- in tho past aud they will continue to be in the future. If over production is tho cause of low prices and hard times, as some of the McKinley orators insist, then it is a crime to be industrious and thrifty, and patriotic to be an idler. The U. S. oriicials Murphy and Grady, who caused the sheep raisers of Wasco county t-o much trouble during the summer over the forest reserve,are now staunch supporters of McKinley. Comment is unnecessary. The New York World is wasting time asking Major McKinley what he thinks of trusts. They speak for nim. There is scarcely a trust or monopoly that is not working for the election of the Ohio man. Since Carnegie, Depew, Vanderbill and Hanna havoannouueed themselves as the friends and champions of the fanners and laborers, tho time seems to have arrived when the latter had better take to the woods crying "God deliver us from our friends!" It is to be hoped the date of celebrat ing the opening of the locks can be fixed on Nov. 5th, as that will btfcthe time when we will celebrate the elec tion of Bryan. These two great events, which are to be so boneficial to the farmers of Eastern O.-egon had as well be celebrated on tho sarne day. Instead of tramping, o' rather riding on free passes, advocating the election of McKinley, why is not Railroad Commissioner Eddy attending to his official duties, endeavoring to protect the wheat "farmers" of Lan county from the extorntions of the Southern Pacific railroad. When the lion and the wolf pose as the friend of the lamb, it is time for the small sheep to climb to a, high elevation where he can observe the acts of his new-found friends." And when Carnegie and Hanna take so such profound interest in the welfare of the laboring man, it is time for the latter to keep his weather eye open. . Hon. Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, is doing noble work for Bryan in thi9 state, A gentleman who is just up from Portland says no less than GOO working men who heard Butterworth speak in Portland have now deter mined to vote for Bryan, whereas they intended to. vote for McKinley before. If Mr. Sohoonmaker is like successful in turning votes we shall have no com plaint to enter against the gold stand ard people for having imported those two abble speakers. , Last Saturday Gov. John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, addressed an audience of 10.000 m Cooper's Union, Now York, and theOregonian's telegraphic report of the meeting is headed "Herr Most's Successor-' Since Herr Most, the leader of anarchism and socialism in America, has taken the stump for McKinley, in the eyes of the Oregonian and its ilk. he is a patriot, and it holds up the governor of the great state of Illinois, the state that ranks third in population in the Union, as the suc cessor of this foreign agitator." ,. - Less tnan a month ago the repabli can press of this section was heaping"" abuse: upon U. District" Attorney Murphy and U. S. Marshal Grady for having caused the arrest of sheepmen for herding their flocks upon the Cat., cade forest reserve, stigmatizing their acts as an exhibit of the unfriendliness of democratic officials to the sheep in dustry. But since those "democratic" officials, Murphy and Grady, "have come out in support of M;Kinley we have heard no more abuse. - Has their change of heart atoned for all their sins? - . : Tho Oregon ian knows bow campaign funds have been raised in the past, un der the regime of Simon in Portland, and suiting this knowledge' to the present, it declares that the , Bryan forces, who now have control of the city government, are levying an assess ment upon the Chinese gamblers to raise campaign funds. Who is liable to know , what truth there is in this statement, the Oregonian that bases its assumption on its knowledge of how campaign funds were raised under the partisan rule of Simon, or Mayor Pea- noyer, who asserts that he is making the police and fire departments of Portland non-partisan? i it is a . lamentable fact that wen a correspondent who pretends to give the "news" will warp facts to suit his political prejudices. An instance of this perversion of news comes under direct observation in tho report of Tillman's meeting in The Dalles tele graphed to the""""Oregonian, in which the correspondent says: "Around the court house were gathered 3QQ people who heard the 'pitchfork' senator de. liver "a harangue against banks, pros perity and a united country." The facts are there was nearer 1000 than ouu pecpie; the senator delivered no "harangue against banks, scarcely men tioned them, and delivered a patriotic appeal to people to unite in one coun try as brothers of a single family.

Such a simple thing causes this condition that it is absurd knd ndicu lous to think of a sensible man remaining in it.

A CRISIS .l-eKOACIlKS. Spain's Troubles Are Xearing- Cnlnil- nution.-. Havana, Oct. 20. Weyler and Blanco will be recalled) Premier Cano vas will" fall, and grave events will occur in Spain, Madrid dispatches say, it is believed there, unless the rebels in Cuba and the Philippine islands are conquered within a month. The Madrid press openly attacks Canovas and Weyler because of their inability to check the Cuban revolu tion. The Maurid Heraldo says: "While Havana and Now York in form us that the Cuban rebels are penniless, with hardly any money to carry on their revolt, Premier Cano vas tries to make ns believe that they have money to burn and sow it broad cast in Spain and her colonies. The recent uprising in Valencia and Ped ralya (Spain) and Cavite (Philippine Islands) he boldly charges to the Cuban junta, through its paid men. Every time a disturbance occurs, the govern ment declines responsibility for it. at tributing it to the underhanded doings of the Cuban rebels. ' "The truth is that there is a deep feeling among the masses, who are in open hostility toward the government, tired of suffering for its misdeeds and soon to rise up against it . "The reinforcements of 40,000 will hardly suffice to keep th? rebels at bay, and more will bo required who knows how many more?" ? The Madrid Commercio, says Pre mier Canovas is responsible for the existing state of affairs, which would bo bettered should he retire. AUAINST THK UOVERNMEST. A final Decision . In the Overlap Land ' ' Case. ?San FflANCi3CO,Oct. 20. The ma jority opinion 'of the - United States circuit court of appeals,, ip tho case of the Oregon & California Railroad Com pany and others vs. the United States, known as the "overlap land case," has been decided adversely to the govern ment. . - - Judge Boss rendered tho opinion, concurred in by Judge Hawley, revers ing the decision of . Judge Gilbert, of the Oregon circuit, and remanding the case to the lower court, with directions to dismiss. Judge McKenna rendered a dissenting oppinion, -holding with Gilbert that the Oregon & California Company neyer had a legitimate claim to the land patented' to it by the gov ernment under the congressional act of 1800. but the rights of the-Northern Pacific Company still existed under the grant of 1804, because they had never been either exercised or aban dotted.. r t, ,--The land involved' in the case about. 200.000 acres in the immediate vicinity of Portland. Because of the divided opinion of the four judges, the case will probably be carried to the supreme court for final hearing. . Details of the Van Massacre. London, Cct. 21. A Berlin dispatch to the Daily News says: "The St. Petersburg Viedomosti gives details of the Van massacre, secured from fugitives who have arrived at El-Chmia- dzin. They., declare no Armenians aro left in the Van district. ' The Kurds, declaring they were executing the sultan's will mercilessly butchered the men and kidnapped the prettiest women and girls, and threw ceildren into the pits intended for storing corn, and burried them alive. In order to save ammunition, the victims -were arranged in rows and killed two and three at a single shot, The details of the outrages on the priests and temples, and the' sacred pooks and vessels, are indescribably revolting." . Chicago Wheat rit. CHlCAGO,Oet. 20. Wheat opened a quarter to half a cent higher this morning, in spite of lower cables, the advance being carried over from yes terday's curbs. But the market was inclined to drag. Northwest receipts were larger than last year. This and other evidences of wheat coming into sight everywhere on a large scale cre ated a general inclination to sell and take profits. The opening prices for December were 7 (37"ic. It steadied at 7 ifc, then gradually sold down to '6ic. There was good buying on the break, some of which was attributed to Cudahy. A rally to 784c ensued.

British Banker Will Advance tha -Kato of Discount. London, Oct. 2I There is a general belief here that the directors of the Bank ol England at the regular weekly meet ing will raise the discount rate from 3 to 4 per cent, ine newspapers agree in stating that the flow of gold to America must bs stopped. The St. Jame'e Gazette says : . "According to exchange experts, even the present rate does not allow a margin of profit to shippers, so the premium on gold is evidently paid in New York by those who are so nervous in regard to the political situation as to insist upon hoarding gold. It is obvious ihat the very rapid advance in wheat adds con siderably to '.he power of American-! to draw the European gold supply, and un less the directors of the bank are pre-i-;ned to allow the reserve to suffer a further large diminution a rise in the rate tomorrow may be counted on as certain As far as we can judge, however, the amount of the reserve tomorrow will be -5.500,000, mid wlien we deduct the sum of ten millions, which has to be set aside against the apanese balance, the t-jtal is 1 one too large considering the autumn withdrawals to Scotland. The stock t-xchange was fully prepared for a rise in the bank rate last week, so there will be no sudden c-illapse of prices." AUSTRALIAN GOLD COA1IKU. Steamer Slonwal Brines Two and A Half Millions. San Francisco, Oct., 22.
