Maoleod, of Edinboro, ou the money question has been the subject ol criti? cism. Lie is looked upon as a leading Europesu authority ou the scieueo oi money. It a late nrliclo ho tinswors his critics and also talks oi the subject of international free eoiuoge on a lixed ratio betweeu the mot als. Mr. Mac leod cotiBiders in tho outsot that in utead ol this being n petty, und easily disposetl of detail, a conference with power to make an international mouey treaty would certainly Qnd it a stum bliug block very diiiicult to get rouud or over, if not impossible. Tho powers to tho proposed treaty would be, say Engluud. Franco. Gormany aud the United States, aud probably Austria. Naturally Trance, beiug determined not to lose any on her silver, would insist on 15; to 1 aa the international ratio. England, bnviog no legal ten? der silver, would ns naturally insist on the ratio lately adopted by Chili, 111! to 1, or :35 to 1 and Gormany would fol? low England's lead, Tho best the United Stuten could bo induced to do would bo 20 to 1, Franco Las, iu paper covered by sil? ver, and actual full tender tilver among bar peoplo, nearly u billion of ilullaru. all her coin is on the ratio of 15] to !. Forco her to accopl a ratio of to I, and every dollar of hor silver money is insiantiy converted into bullion, worth a good deal lean tlittn half its present forced value. Force England to accept freo coinage at 15] to l,nud the billions owing her people would iustautly be? come payublo in .shillings worth ;V pence, instead of 12. The Bank of France, with the commercial ratio made tho coiuago ratio, would instantly lose ^125.000,000 on the silver reserve.

Tbo reports from nil parts of tho cot? ton licit make tho impression that the cotton yield ot tins year will bo con? siderably 6iuullr>r than thut of the sea? son about olosiug. There hns been altogether too much rain iu Texas, LouiuiauH, Mississippi, nud parbaps, Arkansas, and the plant is troubled by i;ru8H. It is looking well in Georgia, North Carolina and Booth Carolina, though it is (?mall, Iu New Orleans thero seems to ho quite n strong fooling that tbe orop will he UI noil less than the one juat murkot od. The Now York Tribnue of July 1 gives some of the tints thut aro being oil- red from Now Orleans, 'That paper Bays: "More wagers from New Orleans hulls woro ufJered on the exchange, iu eluding Ibe following: $1,000 to $3,000 thai Texas itself will not make 1,900,000 hales; $2,000 to $1,200 that the entire crop will be 8,000,000 hubs; SI,000 even that it will not be 7,500,00(1 bales; $500 to $1,000 that it will not ho 7.250,000 bales; $500 to $1,500 that Texas will not make 1,900,000, Thero came also nn ufler to Rive $500 for tbo privilege ol betting $5,000 February 1 that the crop is uot 0,900,000 hales." These oilers indicate that in New Or? leans the opinion is held that the yield will he ipnte a suinll one, Still, little reliance is to he plncod ou wagure. If the crop should not exceed 7,500,000 or even S,000.000 hales, 1! is pretty certain that the price of middling eottou would go above 8 oonts u ponud. From now until the crop in fully made the decpo-t interest will he taken in the weather nil over tho cotton holt by tboao who aro interested in cotton. Hands Off.
