Uncle Sftm Hhtps Gold. When wo recall tho predictions made in 1878 by the most distinguished monome tallist statesmen in regard to the results that would flow from the passage of the Bi.asii) LIU we cannot but anulo at the pre. diet inns which they make now a? to what Will, as they claim, be the" inevitable" consequence of passing a law making sil? ver and gold equal at the various mints cf the I'nited Mates. We recollect that the New York llrraid predicted in 1H7? that In less than twelve months innumerable avils would result from the operation of the Blastd bill. Hut, as every body knows, these evils have already postponed their appearance fag twelve years and more. However, we are not going to boast of the good the BlauP bill has accomplished. Vit< are not confident that free coinage will Work as well for tho country as did that Ma We only hope that it will operate Still more happily. Hut we may well boast a little on behalf of the bimetallism when we road in the weekly circular of strenuous advocates of monometallism such statements as we are about to give from last Saturday's weekly letter of Messrs. Hambleton A Co., of Bal? timore. This house wo quote as follows : "In tbe last three wecke we hay? snipped to Ku Sope $20,000,000 gol<), and since January 1st ?50,000,000 of the yellow met;.l have departed from our shores. All sorts of threrleaas to the why and wherefore <>( this large drain upon our gold reserves have been advanced, but tbe most reasonable explanation which w? have seen Is that goW Is going abroad because we are In? debted to Euo>i>e and are called upon to pay our debts. " It Is true that Fnglsnd needs geld, as do other European countries, but except that we are In? debted to them they could not draw fsMfkUSXUS, If there were no Indebtedness on our part there would be no demand for foreign exchange, am! If tbe demand for foreign exchange was not suf? ficient to ralee the rate tn tho shipping point there would be no gold shipments. IHspntches from New York ?peaking of titilo drawn ngarirr irold shipments would imply that Kngland Is buying or borrowing our goUL Thepltuation can be better understood If we reverse th>> case and ?ay gold Is being remitted against Mils drawn. In other words the demand for r.ierliiig SSChaag* necessitates the shipment of gold. Another xuystlfyiug condition Is that starling exchange is below the shipping point and that therefore there Is a lose hi shipping gold. This can boexplalned by stating that the Hank of England has plac. 1 a small premium on American gold, which equal? ises the apparent loss on exchange. "The New York market has been depressc! and prlcos have declined, gold shipments being tbe adverse influence. While these same gold Shipments are dlsoniraglng, the very fnct that we stand the strain so well and that the whole of Europe is depending upon aud being relieve.i t v our resources Is a feather In sag cap not to be de eplsed. No other nation on the globo Is tn a* good financial condition ana suable to render as? sistance as these i'nited Htates of America." England, France, and Germany have obstinately adhered to monometallism. They have challenged none of tho evils of a double standard. They have constantly assumed that their policy would save them harmless, whereas our policy would ruin us. Yet now, when the United States has been coining annually for twelve years millions and millions of silver dollars, and the other countries named above have re? fused to join hands with us in the effort to restore the white metal to the place it occupied from the last century to the year 1873. or thereabouts, the fact stares these monometallic nations in the face that 'no other nation on the globe is in as good financial condition and so able to render assistance as these United Status of America " Bats is u victory indeed. Places for the Conventions. Chicago has her hands full in propnring for the Columbian World's Fair, and we hope, rather than suppose, she will not claim the two national conventions next year If she does, her claim should be rejected. Nearly every American, with the money and strength to take bun there will wish to visit Chicago in IMt, und nine tenths of those who will bo chosen as delegates to the national conventions, rather than havo two visits imposed on them, would prefer tbe select ion of some other city as the place of meeting. It can lie said to the credit of C?ieaeo that she bas the railroads, halls, and hotels necessary for tho 30,000 peoplo?delegates, outside politicians, journalists, telegraph* era, and mere spectators?who tnaku up the crowds on such occasions. No city in the country can excel Chicago in theso re? spects ; but there are others that can do very well if they have the ohanoe and will only try. Modesty is not a distinguishing charac? teristic ot Chicago, aud wo doubt not she will argue that in view of the preparations going on for the fair she is the city above all others which should bo chosen for the two conventions. The public, however, will hardly yield to this view. Let us distribute such honors. Let us give tbe delegates in ls.rj the opportunity of seeing somo other city, as they will be cer? tain to go to Chicago m ihi*3. Virginia and the World's Fair. The plan adopted by the convention at Montgomery to secure a proper repre? sentation of the products and resources of Alabama at tbo Chicago Fair was the organization of a stock company, to be known an "The Alabama World'a-r air As? sociation." "The capital stock of the as? sociation is to be not less than *?5,000 end may be iacreased to 9100,000. The shares of ?took are to be f 1 each, and everv citi ?en of the State is requested to subscribe.1' The Legislature at its next session will be ashed to make an appropriation to increase the fand. Thsre was a large representation of all gl?sern of people at the convention, " and no doubt la entertained that the popular subscriptions will le sufficiently largo to make a Ane diaplay and to erect a building lor the purpose at Chicago if necessary." This plan seems about a? good a one aa i the Fulaski Convention con adopt for Vir f gtuia. hailr.md. mining and manufac? turing, land, and development oompauwa can nearly all be relied upon to subscribe reasonable amounts, and we are sure that many individual citizens will help libe? rally. _ The Mineral City M><* makes kindly toention of the Dur*** ami theft asks as to aaawer the following interrogators? : t Is it right to ?ay " the United Stales is % grand country i" 1 la it correct to say " the United States presents it? or lie* < ?mpliiueuW to Eng? land with assurance s, i ,,.| i. , >n, Ac. at present* their compliments, Ac? n 8, " Does 'the' belong to the name of the Bfji?-wilJUU?''--tiiU* ?'TheUnitedSUtee.'? for instance, as in the case of our grand old paper, " Tax Uichm? ?n Diktat, h ? " 1. Yes. The neuter verb "to be"nsv bare the same cam before and alter it. Here tho words "United Otates" end the word " country " are Iwth in the nomins tive case, and the vsrb"ia" rather than " are " is chosen, thus indicating " coun? try" as the better nominative, "The wages of ?m it death." "1'ride sad s haughty ?pint aye. not to be countenanced at any time." " Pride and a haughty spirit i$ the leading characteristic of Jokes." 2. We should prefer not to use either of these expressions. S. We thiuk ao, but the letter? " TJ. S. A." are often u-.-d as equivalent to the words "the I'nited States of America."' both the preposition and the article (or adjective) being omitted. In the Federal ? 'tition the word "the" precedes, and pro}H?r1y precedes, the word " Con? gress " wherever the latter is so used that "the" ran taj prefixed So also "the" precedes always the words " I'nited States of America. As "we. the people of the United States." "This Constitution tor the Lnited States of America." "A Con? crets of the I'nited Sutes." "The Henste Of the united Sta'es." " Tho common de? fence and general welfare of the Daited States." " Lniform throughout the I'nited States." " borrow money on the credit of the I'nited BUtes." " Bankruptcies throuehfrut the I'nited States." " Un? judicial power of the Cuitcd ttates." " The laws of the I'nited Slates." " Trea? son against the United States ?hall con? sist only in levying war apaiust them or in adhering to thrir enemies." Uut enough. Value of Down-Towrn Property. The prospect is that arrangements ? be made to run a street-railway line acr Mayo'a bridge. It will be of service to thousands of p pic who desire a shorter route over I river than either of the two existing < lines gives. We would like to see down-town p party improve in value, and wo may permitted to doubt if the city can oth wise bo as prosp.rous as she should 1 Tho rotten core has ever been the sign worthless fruit With great industries springing up a hundreds of .Iwelling-hou-es rifling in t East Bad t with the Weal End "taoanoi ing like the rOM " it would bo strange the property lying between these two ??? tiona should bo doomed to decay. T first blow struck it was tho building of t Free bridge, before that time all coi munication between the cities of Bk mond and Manchester was over Mayi bridge, and from its Richmond tormin to Main ?treet, Fourteenth street was busy thoroughfare, while the tide oftrav spread down to the Old market on tho ea and up to tho ixwt-offico on the west. The owners of Mayo's bridge long foug' the Free-bridge scheme, and even when tl lattor's success was assured they wou not port with their property upon tern which tho Freo-Bridge Commissi n. could consider. Thus it came about th tho now bridgo was built, and tho fact tin it was a free bridge while the old cno Co: tinued u toll-bridge gave 11 direction I travel which was not its natural directioi and has hud u very deleterious effei upon property values in a large sectioi What was lost probably nevor can be r stored, but the further growth of tho ev may be preveutod by a good street-car lin across Mayo's bridge. And if the car? i this line could freely interchange pass, u gers with the Main- and Broad-street line! wo would probably see a " picking up" i business and in property values in Jeffei son Ward. In our judgment tho wbol community is interested in its prosperitj As will expect a wheel to be strong wl ? gaudy felloes and showy spokes are fast ened to a rotten hub, as for a city to pros per with beautiful suburbs und handsom avenue?, and a business centre whor value? are not upward. The movement of business cannot b stayed. We do not expect that. Half i century ego hundreds of families lived ..i Main street. The retail trade needed tie upper floors they occupied and they wer. driven awav. Now, the retuil trade to i very considerable extent has disappearo. before wholesale houses, manuf .ctories banks, and business office.!, but there ist portion of the territory to which wo rcfei which is in a semi-transition state and h claimed by no particular branch of bush ness but is divided between them, and en joys no great prosperity. Neither newspaper articles nor litigation can stem the tide when people yield to tho fashion of moving from one neighborhood to another, but rcni-rally ?oinothing can be done in a helpful way. To this end some time ago a Broad-street viaduct was proposed, but after full discussion it ap? peared that the people proposed to be beuoiited?or, at least, many of them?did not wish tho viaduct. It was also ascer? tained that tho city could not spare tho money to build it. So endod that project, lu this era of electric and cable curs tho time cannot be very far distant when there will be a street-car line direct from Chimborazo Fark to Richmond College. Tho gTcat Broad-street hill is not an ob? stacle which modern machinery cannot overcome. It is a simple matter of money and of no absurdly large sum either. Meanwhile the Church Hill people, if they think thorn worth having, can. for the asking, have cars running from thoir bill to Main street. With cars from'Church Hill and cars from Manchester on lower Main street, it seems to us that the down-town prospect would be much improved. Something of the old hum of business would be restored to it, and in its good fortune all of the other sections radiating from it would become part icipants._ The Kentucky Democrats. Wo recently stated in substance that the late Democratic State Convention of Ken? tucky had pledged itself to free coinage and to the support of a candidate for President who was hostile to freo coinage. The Lynchburg A'ewt commenta as fol lows: " We would bo obliged to the DISPATCH If It will kindly give us some explanation of this paragraph. According to our understanding of the action of ths Kentucky Democrats It dis tliictly committed them, without reservation, to the Democratic doctrine of free coinage, and, on the other hand, did not plodgo the party to 'the support of a candidate hostile to free coinage.' Po far from it, all accounts that we have seen unite lu declaring that tho Kentucky Democrats studiedly refused to pass a resolution designed to commit them to the support of Mr. Cleve? land's Tsndklacy." The Kentucky Convention adopted a resolution pledging itself to, or at any rate commending, what it styled "the policy of Gsovxs Cleveland and John O. Cakusli." We regarded this resolution as being equivalent to a declaration iu favor of the nomination of Cleveland for President and Cahi.isi i. for Y'ice-Fieaideut. And we have no good reason to doubt that the convention intended its action to be un? derstood a? we have understood it. Plausible. The Himitt DoiUir, a paper published in the interest of monometallism, repli?e to a correspondent's interrogatory as follows: " it the coinage of both metals were free there would be uo gold offersU for coinage. WhyT Let us suppose tbe g.,i<i m s gold donar will buy ouougti silver to nuke a silver dollar and leave Iwaaty cent* over?that is, lot us suppose the silver In s sliver dollar to worth eighty cento la gold. Then, In thai case, the man who simply gets his gold coined loses the different? of twenty cento. It Is cheaper tor him to buy silver and get that coined.'' That is well said. It ha? a plausibility that will commend it to the approbation of many. But isn't it beeed upon the the? ory that ths supply of silver is unlimited t If the quantity of silver annually pro? duced is, any, only fifty million? of doilsr?' worth, and tbe Government buys fifty nil lion dollar?' worth every year .where are the owners of gold to purchase fifty million dollar?' worth of silver to take to the mints and have coined (supposing the onantitx of sold produced to be aaual to the quantity of silver just named) ? Would not rich r demand for silver bare a ten? dency to raise it to so equality in value with gold ? _ Credit is Money. The history of the world cannot furnish s parallel to the fact that the United States Government can now borrow money at 2 per cent, per annum interest. It begins to look as if the United States ?enatorfrom Ohio (Mr. Htawtjtt Matthews) who once asked in the Soneto : " What have we to do with abroad"? was after all not a foolith, would-be financier, but a statesman a little ahead of the rest of his countrymen. England baa been for many, many years known as the country whose credit was never allowed to be quest toned. That credit, won battles for her whit h her arroie i could not have successfully fourrht. Kn;: land's treasure united with continental armies has been known to make all the rest of Europe, not tossy of the world, await the ?hock of arms. But tho United Statea Government is at present the foremost in the world, whether we regard it? credit or its condition or its real wealth or the num. ber of people who are attached to it?who are patriots and not unwilling supporters. In the light of the statement of tue Sec? retary of the Treasury that he expe. ts to borrow money at 2 per cent, per annum interest, how ridiculous now seems the cry raised in Virginia whenever sin- is called upon to consider the debt question that her refusal to pay her debt will "drive away capital." There is a lesson foT the third-party advocates in the fact we havo mentioned as to our national credit. If the proposed sub-Treasury scheme of the wild-cat finan? ciers of the Cincinnati convention, ortheir fiat-green back proposition wero either to bneusne a law the credit of the United States Government would at once fall be? low that of sny other respectable govern? ment in the world. Instead of borrowing money at 2 per cent. It would have In pay G per cent, as soon as either of the schemes just named bud beun enacted into a law, and still more as tho schemes began to yield their natural fruits, until in no great while tho Government of tho United States would have no moro credit than tho poorest and worst-governed of the South American republics. The new schomes would not only ruin th> Government but make us a nation of paupers. The Government could do no? thing but flounder ulon?? in its financial strait until it became a by-word and a re? proach among the nations. To issno one hundred millions of $&! grcniacks and land them to the people at 2 per cent, would be to make the paoi le SS well as the Government poorer by that or a larger sum. This would take plaeeuniler the operations of the laws ot nature or tho natural laws fif finance, and could not by any possi? bility 1* avoided. " Here we go up. up, up. and here we pn down, down, down," would b? the refrain of tho would-be bene? ficiaries who would by that timo have I>e oomo sufferers. We do not expect the Farmers' Alliance in Virginia to be led astray by the Cincin? nati resolutions. We recollect that green backism was killed in this State in 1(478. Our people are not ignorant of politico economic science The Debt It is understood that the Debt Commis? sion will meet hero next week, and that the Ou oit Committee will froms ?on to {confer withit. This, wo trust, Is tbe beginning of a set? tlement. We are tip* mon- hopeful of good results because tbe creditors have been all along plainly told the position of the State. There has never been any dis guiseabout it, and knowing thctrtiosit uation they are coining to us with a propo? sition tor a settlement. It i? the wisest thin?; possible for them todo. If they are prepared to negotiate and settle upon tho terms and conditions outlined in the resolutions of the General Assembly authorising the appointment of the Debt Commission, an end ot agitation nan BOOH be made and our bonds to be is? sued to redeem the outstanding obliga? tions will in a few years rise to a price which will compen?atothc bondholders for any supposed loss. The Boooh experimental well near Wheeling, W. Va., has now reached a depth o? 4,6u0 foet, and it has been decided to ?ink it 1,800 foot deeper. Mr. Anton Uk.y masn, of Wheeling, has guaranteed tho necessary money for the additional work in case the necessary funds cannot be ob? tained from the treasury of the Smith? sonian Institute at Washington. What bus been spent and what is now about to be ?pant on the well will make a total of $22,000. Wo extend thanks to Ib-v. Qzoroe II.
