As we turn from a review of our fjrcln relation to the contemplation of our nation al financial situation we are immediately aware that we ar;iroa-h a sabicct of domes tic concern more inajortaut than any other that can engage our attention, atd'eno at present la tueh a perplexing and delicate i premcament as to require prompt and wise treatment. Uy command of the people a customs rc-ve-nno system, designed lor the protection and l netlt of favored classes at the expense of the- great mmes r,f our couDtrvrnen. and which, whilo ln-nieient for the purpose of revenue, curtailed our trade relations and Impeded our entrance to the markets of the world, has been tupersceded by a tariu policy, which in rrin"ipl9 is based uj.on a d"nial of the rtht oi the govrnrnent to oV-truct tho avenues to our peoples' cheap living or lessen their comfort and coLtcnt ment, for tho take of according especial ad vantages to favorites, end which, while encouraging our interior and trade with other nations, recognizes the fact that Ameri can self-reliance, thrift, and ingenuity can build up our country's industries and develop its resources more surely thnn !n enervatin; paternalii f ia February, therefore, the situation 4- ' a esctidlnfly critical. Tho results of prior bond issues had been excec-din-tly uasatisfa 'tory, and tho lar'o withdrawals of gold immediately succeeding to their public sale in open market gave rise to a reasonable suspicion that a large part of tho gold paid into tho treasury unon 6uch sales was promptly drawn out again by tho presentation cf United States notes or treas ury notes and found its way to the hands of thoso who had only temporarily parted with it in tho purchase of bonds. Ihe message then takes up the repeal of the silver pnrchaso clause, says it under mined conhdn re and produced tho p-mie. The history of the issue and partial redemp tion of United states notes is given at length. GOLD EESStUE. Stress is laid oa tho Importance of the gold reserve. Loss of gold is attributed to the existence of Treasury notes. Tho riso and fall of tho reserve is followed, and tho histo ry o the bond issue?, matters that are fanai har to our readers, aro rehearsed in detail. Then follows a history of the contract with the bond syndici'?. "I have "never had the slightest misgiving concerning tho wisdom or propriety of this arrangement." As to further gold withdrawals it oays: Quito largo withdrawals for shipment in the immediate futu;e are predicted in well in formed quarters. About 10,000,000 has been withdrawn during the month oi Novem ber. The foregoing statement of counts and condition, develops tho fivct that after in creasing our interest bearing bonded indebt edness more than $102,000,000 to save our gold ieserve. we are nearly where we started, having now in such reserve 79,333, 'JCtS, against 05,43,377 ia Feb. 1S'J4, when tho first bonds weie issued. The government has paid in gold more than nine-tenths of. its Uuiied States notes and still owes them all. It has pail in gold about one-half of ii3 notes given for silver purchases without extinguishing by such I aynicnt one dollar of these notes. Tho government has iueurred a bonded indebt edness of 495,500,000 in establishing a gold reserve, and of 102,315,490 in efforts to maintain it. FAVORS EEI1EE3IEST OF OIIEEXEACE3. Trouble is found in the retirement and can cellation of our United States notes, common ly called greenbacks, and the outstanding treasury notes issued by the government in pavrreut of silver purchases under the act of IS'jO. I heli.jvc this could be quite readily accom plished by tho exchange of these notes for United States bonds of small as well as largo denominations, bearing a low rate of iiiter- Cft. The currency withdrawn by the retirement of the United States notes and treasury notes, amounting to probably less than 180,000,000, might bo supplied by such gold ao would be used on th ir retirement or by an increase in the eiieulutiou of our national banks. I think they should be allowed to issue cir culation equal to the par value of the bonds they deposit to secure it, and that tho tax oa their circulation should bo reduced to no fourth of ouo per cent., which would un doubtedly meet all tho expense tho govern ment incurs on their account. In a general way the Tresideiit proceeds to intimate that tho establishment of Statu banks may be a necessity. As to silver coin age, he says : I do not overlook the fact that the cancella tion of tho treasury notes issued under tho silver purchasing act of lS'JO would leave tho treasury in the actual ownership of sufiieient silver including seigniorage, to coin nearly 173.000.000 in standard dollars. It is worthy of consideration whether this might not, ftom time to time, be converted into dollars or fractional coin and slowly put iato circu lation as in the judgment of tho Secretary of tho Treasury tho necessities cf tho coun- ; try should require. i rtiiETALLiss: isirossiELn. ! No government, no human contrivance or ! act of legislation.' has ever been able to hold ; the two m tals together in free eoinago at a ! ratio appreciably different from that which is ! established in "the markets of tho world, i Those who believe that cur independent freo i coinage of silver at an artificial ratio with gold of 10 to 1 would restore the parity be tween tho metals, and con-dpi-Dtly t ween ' the cuius, oppose aa i.nsupported and im probable theory to tho general 1 lief an.l ; practice of ether nations, and to tho teach ing of the wisest statesmen and eooi; o:ui.-t uf . the world, both in the past and present. ! The President then weut on to argue, tho j itnpraetabfiityof bimeta!ism,uj held tho cold standard us mo oniy uu means ti vaiue, holding that "it does not despise silver nor seek its banishment," and that "such a standard also gives free scope for the use and expansion of safe and conservative credit." Ho urges tho advocates of freo coinage of silver to re-examine their views and beliefs in the light of patriotic reason and faur.iiar experience, and to weigh again and a.ain the consequences of such legislation as thetr efforts have invited, liven tho continued agitation of the subject adds greatly to tho difficulties of a dangerous linaacial sitv.atka a! read v forced upon us. Ia conclusion 1 especially entreat tho peo ple's representatives in the Congress, who aro charged with tho responsibility of inaugura ting measures for the safety and prosperity of our common country to promptly nnd ef fectively consider the ills oi our critical ti n ineial plight. I have suggested a remedy which ruy judgment approves. I desire, however, to assure the Congress that I am prepared to co-operate with them iu perfecting any other measure promising thorough and practical relief, and that I win ghillv labor with them in every patriot! en deavor to further tho interests and guard tho welfare of our countrymen whom in our re spective p!a:es of duty we have undertaken to serve. Chilean Finances in Gooil Conditioi Tho financial situation of Chile is highly satisfactory, according to the recent message of President M"ntt to the Chambers. The expenses In 1S01 amounted to 7S,4!:.Vx pesos. The receipts produced Dl.Oil'.OOO pesos, which shows an excess of l'j,Xt,. It is also estimated that under ordi nary circumstances the financial ex ercise of IStHJ will close with a surplus of about lo.tKXV0 pesos. The produc tion of nitrate, the most important ar ticle of Chilean exports, which reached in 1S90 20.Gr.101 Spanish quintals has amounted in 1S04 to 23,81),i:S3 quin tals. The whole commercial move ment In 1S94 was represented by 12V f'J4,0o0 pesos in value, T4.4SoC10 being for importation and 72.010,40 pesos for exportation. New York Tribune.

A dispatch from Washington says: "The nomination of Judge Feckham seems to have ended a s-'ries of incidents by which New Yorlc has been deprived for two years past of a seat in the highest National tribunal. Judere Paelchitra has the support for con firmation of both Senator Hill und Sena tor Murphy, and his eminence cn the New York bench roaie his accentance by the Judiciary Commitlee an! the rest ot the Senate a foregone conclusion. Senators on both sides of t lie Chamber expressed them selves as highly pleased with the appoint ment, and in no "instance was any doubt ex pressed as to the nominee's acceptability. Senator Ilill was not present in the Senate, but he expressed himself so favorable to Ju ice r.ufus W. Peskham when engaged in ma-Jus the campaign two years ago against Wheeler II. Peckham that it was generally bolieved he would accept the nomination without cavli and even with satisfaction. Senator Jlurphy. of New York, pronounced the seleclioii'ns equal to the best that could ba made, and said there could be no doubt of speadv confirmation." Judge"re?kham's promotion leaves a va cancy on the bench of the New York Court of Anpenls which sits at Albany. It devolves on Governor Morton to appoint a successor who will hold ofilce for a year, when a special elect ion will b3 held to till the unexpired term. "Rufus W.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. Dun Co. Say tlittt Business Was Rather Sluggish. It. G. Dun & Co., of New York, say of the business of the past week: - With all the shrinkage in present business and prices it is encouraging to find but a small increase in failures. Liabilities for four weeks of November were $12,099,293 against 610,531,873 la?t year. Manufactur ing liabilities were 3,565.731 ajraiust $3,242. 84'J last vear, but trading liabilities only $6, 723,912 against $7,207,307 last year. Failures in tho United States for the week have been 324 against CS3 last year and 52 ia Canada against 40 last year. Business is still sluf?si.-;h, as if gorged by excessive indulgence of tho appetite for buy ing when prices were advancing. In nearly every branch stocks not yet distributed to consumers stand in the way of new orders, and competition of a producing force largely exceeding the present demand put" down prices, that decline retarding purchases yet more. After the holidays business men look for a larger deiu-.nd. Financial influences have not hindered, and rarely has the open ing cf a session of' congress affected business so little. Iron nud its products are lower, antracite No. 1, at 613, plates at 1.5 and bar at 1.3 cents and L-s seiner $12 at Valley Mills, with billets ilC.50. The average of all quotations is 8 1-2 per cent, below the highest point iu September, but actual sales are frequently mad 3 below quotations. The proposed com bination of laka ore producers has not yet been effected, and with the fall in the price of iron i less probable.
