THE INTERNATIONAL MONK
TAUY CONFERENCE.
The Monetary Gonferenee
which assembled it Brussels
upon our invitation was ad
journed to the thirtieth day
of November in the present
year. The considerations
just stated and the fact that
a definite proposition from
us seemed to be expected up
on the reassembling of the
conference led me to express
n willingness of having the
meeting still further postpon
ed. It seems to me that it
wou'd now be wise to aive
general authority to th"
President In ii vite other n.-i-
Hons to such conference any
time w hen there should be a
fair prospect of accomplish
ing an international agree
ment on the subject of coin-nge.
I desire to earnestly sug
gest the wisdom of amending
the existing statutes in re
gard to the issuance of Gov
eminent bonds. Thenuthor-
ity now vested in the Secre
tary of the Treasury to Msue
bonds is not as clear as it
should be and the bonds
authorized are disadvanta
geous to the Government
both as to the time of their
maturity1 and rate of interest.
THE HAWAIIAN TROUBLE.
It is hardly necessary for
me to state that the ques
tions arising from our rela
tions with Hawaii have caus
ed serious embarrassment.
.liivit iirinr trt thm lnutnlhi t inn
of the present administration
the existing government of
Hawaii had Uvn suddenly
overthrown and a treaty of
annexation had ln negoti
ated lHtwrii the I'rovi.n i ll
(iovurnniMnt of the islands
and the Guired .Stages and
submitted to the Senate fur!
ratification. This treaty 1
withdrew for examination,
ami dispatched Hon. James
H IWount, of Georgia, to Hon
olulu as a stecial commis
sioner to ir ake an impartia
investigation of the circum
stances attendingthe Him rim
of .ioTi'rnment, and all the
conditions bearing upon the
sulaect of the treaty. After a
tlicrougu and exhaustive ex
amination Mr. Blount sub
mitted his report, showing he
yorid all question that t h ?
constitutional Government
of Hawaii had beeh subverted
with the active aid of out rep
resell tat i ves to lhat. govern
men: and through intimida
tion caused by the piesen'e
of an armed naval force of
the United States, which was
landed for that purpose at
the instance of our minister.
Upon thse facts it fevemed to
me that the only honorable
course for our government
to pursue was to undo the
wrong that had been done by
(hose representing us and to
store as far as practicable
that status existing at. the
time of our forcib'e interven
tion. With a view of accom
plishing this result within the
constitutional limits ofexecu
tive power, our present min
ister at Honolulu has receiv
ed appropriate instructions
to that end. 1 bus far no in

expected. When received they
will be promptly 8'nt to Gol-

er information at hand, ac-
ompanied by a spe?ial exec
utive message fully detailing

the case and presenting a his
tory ofall themateiialeyents

The stay-at-home vote

the most crushing defeat the

York. This year it appear
ing that the Democratic dis

the same way.
Over four hundred thous

lallots at the late election in
New York. The great ma-
'Jiity of these were Demo

notorious Maynnrd.
Both parties were apathet

In devising taxation which

The peculiarity is that any

Tariff reduction is an en-
conrngement of trade. En

of tariff reduction will proba

duties are lowered. But the

will give larger receipts.
Here com?s in the business
necessity for a movable tax.
An income tax is about the
only means at the disposal

to fit the needs of the Treas
ury. It can be ca cn ated to
within a fraction of a million
dollars after it is once estab
lished. It, can be chan-reil
without affecting the anticip
ationsof businessnhout pric
es. It does not involve the
whole country's production,

obviate the necessity of fre
quent disarrangement of the
tariff and the liquor taxes.
Rich men inactive business

The more the people think

Aa AdTtcr la Iroa.
Since the provisions of the
Demm-ratic tariff bill were
printed partisan Republicans
have been predicting all wIW;.
fill things of the business fu
ture of this country. In the
faceof these predictions the
Nashville American reports
an interview with A.M. Shook
a director of the Tennessee
Goal and iron Company, in
which he says:
The general outlook of
the iron trade w surprisingly
n ouraging. A few days a
go Mr. Baxter, the president
of the ?oinpMiiy, repen ted he
had sold od.OOOtons. Since
then the company 1mm sold
an additional 30,000 Ions at
an advance of 2." per cent
over the price p.iid for this
50,000 Ions. Of this 30,000,
American consumers took
1 o,000 tons, ami London
bankers took 15,000 tons as
an investment. These for
eign purchasers also author
ized an offer for the output
of four of the company's fur
naces for six months at the
same price, which would a
mount to l'0,000 tons as
an investment. This offer
was declined, as thecompany
feels confident iron is going
higher." .
Mr. Shook looks for a
steady revival in business for
these Teutons:
"Tiiw eirculating medium
being per capita larger today
imoi a i, u ii y ume since tMi
warfarin products of everv
description more abundant
tlnn f ir many years, no
plague or epidemics, why of
we not in a position to recoy
er even more rapidly than we
went downward ? It is confi
dently predi?ted by men who
have made the iron industry
a study for life that next
year we will produce and
consume more than 11.000,
000 tons of pig iron, over
1,500,000 tons more than
the largest production and
consumption thecourttrv has
ever known.
"I think that this is going
to .iffect the general business
of the South. Iron is the
barometer, the aspen leaf, of
commerce in the United
States. Every other article
of trade will be correspond
iugly benefitted by these indi
cations of improvement in
the in lustry. It is universal
ly acknowledged that when
the iron industry prospers in
i he United States all other
industries become prosper
ous; and when there is a low
pressure about iron the pres
sure is low with general
trade." Ashe ville Citizen.
