Conditions of Our Prosperity.
It is safe. to say that the most emin-
ent economist now living, whose knowl-
edge and judgement on financial topics,
free-from mere theoretical preconcep-
tions, command respect throughout the
world, is M. Leroy-Beaulieu, and the
editor of the Forum'has done a public
service in obtaining from him the clear
analysis of the present financial situa-
tion which appears in the December
number of that magazine under thetitle
of “Conditions for American Commer-
cial and Financial Supremacy.”
' There can be no suspicion of ulterior
L‘NMH’CS or of “British gold,” when M.
Leroy-Beaulieu expresses the surprise
Lit throughout Europe that a greatNa-
ionlike the United States should al-
low its development to be tr‘ammeled
by frequent and severe crises and that
it should be “either unable to discern
their causes, or lack decision to remove
them-from its path.” Our great and
vztal error, he says, the evil influences
of which are still felt, was the failure of
our government to redeem its paper
currency rafter the war, and the first es-
sential lo security now and pi'ibsperity
hereat'tI-r is that the government shall
cease to issue paper money at all, remit-
ting that task to the banks.
'ho UnitedStates, this distinguished
Frenchman believes, from their geo—
graphical position and resources, can
aspire to take from England, within
the next century, her commercial and
financial supremacy ; but- to attain this
end the dollar must be given the quali-
lies of the pound sterling. “There
must be no sort of doubt that it is a
gold dollar.” After warning Ameri-
cans not to be duped by expressions
from European politicians of apparent
ympathy with bimetalism, which is of
necessity bound to collapse. M. Le-
oy-Bea’ulieu concludes:
'l'l:e abandonment of notes or paper
money issued by the State; the definite
adoption of gold as the sole standard-—
these are the two necessary conditions
on which the United States can secure
a financial position as important as that
they now hold in agriculture and indus-
try. On these two conditions they can
some day approach and equal Great
Britain as a financial power. If, on the
contrary, they persist in their system
of government paper money, and in the
“rehabilitation”- of silver, their indus-
trial and commercial development will
be trammeled, and they will undergo
marked and permanent experiences of
financial weakness.
This isthe edifice of an entirely com-
peteut and friendly observer. It
accords exactly with what {our own sa-
fest leaders have been telling us. But
will Congress have the wisdom to act
on this. advice? Or can we rise suffi-
ciently above the lowest party interests
to demand that Congress. shall do so?
If not, we must accept the consequen-
ces.
Another “Guess.”
'1‘ he annual report of the Commission.
er of Internal Revenue, which has just
been made public, is a highly unique
document. That ofiicial admits that
the receipts from internal revenue taxes
for the fiscal year ending with June 30
last were only $143,246,000, about 328,-
000,000 less than had been estimated,
but he asserts that this was due to the
failure of\the Supreme Court to sustain
the constitutionality of the Income tax.
This, of course, is preposterous. The
Income tax was not made payable until
July 1, and it would have been absurd
to assume that any material portion of
it would be paid before that date.
Nevertheless, the Commissioner” of
Internal Revenue proceeds to predict
that the receipts from internal revenue
taxes for the current fiscal year will
reach at least $165,000,000. This is
nearly as much as these taxes were ex-
pected to yield last year, when, as the
Internal Revenue; Commissioner now
, avers, the expected receipts from the
income tax were included in the esti-
mate. Nothing could demonstrate
more conclusively the 'utter untrust-
vworthiness of the prediction in question
. than this statement. The estimate of
an increase of nearly $25,000,000 in in-
; terual revenue receipts is manifestly
, pure guesswork. It is clearly of apiece
with;the prediction of Secretary Carlisle
that the Treasury deficit at the close of
the last fiscal year would not exceed
$20,000,000. It was over twice as great.

The Next'S'peaker.
Ex and to be Speaker Reed is now the
most sought after man in Washington. .
His rooms are crowded day and night by
the advance guard of Congressmen who
have hastened. to the Capital to select
and secure, it possible, their preferred
share of the Committeeahips, when that
choice and greedily desired watermelon
shall be out. Of course Mr. Reed is en-
tirely non-committal as to the make
up of his committees. He is consider-
ing as to what extent the rules of the
last republican Congress shall govei n
the new House, or whether it ' will be
necessary to revise them to any extent.
The chairmanship of the Commitee
on Ways and Means is generally con-
ceded to Mr. Payne, of New York,
while there is a chance for Mr. Ding-
ley, of Maine. Mr. Henderson, of
Iowa, will probably be chairman of the
Committee on -Appropriations. The
important chairmanship of the Com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs will go to Mr.
Hitt, of Illinois. Mr. Walker, of Mes-
sachusetts, expects to be‘chairman of.
the Banking and Currency Committee.
Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, will doubtless
be placed at the head of the Committee
on Naval Affairs.
The Republican caucus will be held
Saturday evening, when the speaker, ,
clerk and other chief officials will be
put in nomination for election by the
House on Monday. Connecticut’s four
Republican Congressmen will be on
hand;

Enormous Gold Export.
The Campania which sailed
Europe Saturday from New York. took
tcutonsof gold and four tons of silver to
pay for foreign wares that should have
been manufactured here at home, and
thus given employment to our own tens
of thousands of idle laborers.
The Campania’s manifest had on it,en—
tries of $198,726 in silver bars, $3,163,-
751 in gold bars and $1,500,000 in gold
coin. Counting gold as worth $20 an
ounce, the $4,663,751 worth which the
Campania has. aboard would weigh
0.71 tons. Counting silver as worth 61.5
cents an ounce, the $198,726 worth
aboard would with the gold weigh near-
ly fourteen tons.
During the past week $1,750,000 ' in
gold went by the steamer St. Louis and
$1,030,000 in gold coinfiby the steamer
Fuerst Bismark. With the other ship-
ments, the totals for the week. were
$761,275 in silver bar and $7,593,269 in
gold bars and coin.
Against the great total of $8,354,544.
this week the same week last year,- had
a. total of only $408,612.
In reducing our tarifi‘, we have thus
drained and are continuing to drain
our country of its gold and unless Con-
gress Speedily enacts some remedy our
gold reserve is likely to be swept away.
Was there ever a greater and more
ruinous fallacy than free-trade ?

Republican Convention.
Naturally the struggle between Pitts-
burg, San Francisco and Chicago for
the National Republican Convention
increases. A. just regard for the ever-
lasting truth compels the statement that
nPittsburg is ahead in the race, while
Chicago is much in the rear. The
heart of San' Francisco beats high. and
warm, and her $250,000, pledged, is not
without its allurements. The promin-
ence which Pittsburg has taken in the
race during the past forty-eight hours
has stirred Chicago to action, and some
interesting bulletins may therefore be
expected from the Committee of Pro-
motion and Publicity. Whatever this
committee as a. whole is able to accom-
plish there is no doubt that the Public-
Ity end of‘it will do its full duty, The
information . may at hand is that the
rich men of Chicogo have been notified
that they are expected ‘to “do some-
thing.” In this latter end of the race—
the finish, as it were—Chicago may pos-
sibly develop a tremenduons burst of
speed and accomplish wonders. It may
be worth while to note the struggle
closely from this moment on.
More Ships for the Navy.
Senator Hale, of Maine, undoubtedly
speaks for the Republican majority in
the Senate when he declares that Sec-
retary Herbert’s argument for a sub-
stantial increase in the navy will be
favorably acted on in that body. In
the House the Republicans, under the
aggressive leadership of Thomas B.
Reed, can be depended on to do their
full duty in voting for more ships, gun's
and men. Thus there is a fair prospect
that the approaching session will see an
important re-enforcement to American
flea power authorized by the National
legislature. ' ‘
