THE WISDOM OF DEMOCRATIC MEASURES.
In the course Of pointed and well-written article
Ipn the wisdom of democratic measures, the New
Haven Register remarks:
In the present financial crisis the whole country turns
Ito it the pillar Of salvation. Formerly when the
government made its depostes in the banks, and those
banks traded the money thus deposited with them or
oaned to their customers every disbursement from the
United States treasury added to the financial pressure, by
requiring the banks to demand payment from their
toners to enable them to meet the treasury drafts But
every disbursement lets loose the golden stream from
he treasury ITSELF and the banks and their customers
el the relief when most needed The operations of the
treasury in the present crisis under the advice and super
ntendence of Secretary Cobb praised everywhere by
bill business men, irrespective of party creed and the
wisdom of the independent treasury system is aclnow
Edged everywhere and by heartily than those
who twenty years ago would have compassed sea and
and to have had it tramped in the dust
Men of the present day think there
deeply cxecrated the Kansas bill
when the truth is that that honest bill received
half the denuncation and abuse that heaped
he independent treasury and have not doubt that
he former, like the latter will be generally admitted
~ distant day. to be of the wises most just and
e of public policy that have marked the
Iscendency of the democratic party.
