THE NORTHWEST
The Banks and the Silver Danger.
philadelphia Times.l

Treasurer Jordan has been over to
New York to talk with the bank officers
there about the means of maintaining
gold payments until the meeting of
Congress and the banks have expressed
their readiness to help them out. AS
every one knows, with the gradual sub
stitution of silver for gold i'll the United
States Treasury, which is steadily going
on under the existing laws, it is only a
question of a few months more or less
when the Treasury will be compelled to
pay its obligations in silver and thus
substitute that metal for gold as the
standard in all the business of the coun-
try. Clearly recognizing the danger, the
Treasury hopes by careful management
to put off the crisis until Congress shall
have time to stop the compulsory coin
age that is threatening to overwhelm
the country in food of silver.
If Congress once more refuse to do
this, it will be with the deliberate pur-
pose of adopting the silver Standard
thus assimilating our financial system
to that of China and Turkey in prefer
ence to that of the commercial nations
of the world-and the Executive will
have no responsibility in the matter.
But if Congress can he brought to its
senses before the close of the year, it is
believed that gold payments can be
maintained, even with the useless ac-
cumulation of silver now on hand, and
it is to this end that the Treasury Off
cials ought to have the cooperation of
all bankers and business men.
The Treasury is continually paying
out gold even the two millions month
of silver bullion being purchased in that
metal, while the greater part of its re-
ceipts are in silver certificates, which
are receivable for all dues. The most of
these are paid in through the custom
houses, the banks providing the impor-
ters with these certificates and keeping
the gold themselves. Thus the New
York banks hold almost as much gold
now as the United States Treasury.
The remedy is for them to pay some of
it back. They have rendered the De-
partment ten millions of gold, in ex-
change for other currency, with prom
ise of further sums if needed. But the
policy of this transaction would be
questionable, and it may be hoped that
1t will not be required. The same end
could probably be accomplished with
out disturbance in the ordinary way of
business. If the banks would pay out
gold instead of silver certificates to
those who have customs house pay
ments to make, it would 60 into the
Treasury and the gold balance could
thus be maintained.
Of course, if the silver crisis should
come, gold would be at premium, and
for that reason the banks may think it
prudent to hoard it. But it would be
far better for them to help to avert the
crisis, even if they had to part with
few millions of their gold. In this mat
ter the banks and the Treasury, have
a common interest, which is also the
common interest of the country.

One way in which the Government
has been swindled in the Indian busi-
ness is clearly shown by the enrolment
of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes at
Fort Reno, in the Indian Territory,
which was concluded on Wednesday
week. No count had been made before
since 1874, when the Cheyennes num-
bered 1906 and the Arapahoes 1856,
and rations have been issued ever since
upon that basis, although it now ap-
pears that there are but 3,169 Chey-
ennes, and 300 Arapahoes-only 4,469
in all, or little more than two-thirds of
the 6,271 on the old rolls. The amount
out of which the Treasury has been de-
frauded for years, by the refusal to take
a new census, is placed as high as $92,-
900. The agent has resigned, and a
"clean sweep" of all parties to the
fraud is expected. A thorough over
hauling of the agency system will
doubtless show that this is not the only
place where such swindles have been
perpetrated. Mr.. Dyer doubtless feels
bitterly that "the Confederacy is again
in the saddle" and that there is no
protection of colored voters in the old
slave States. The Nation.

Hard Times for the Rich"

The above headline, which appears
over an editorial in the Philadelphia
Ne,Us, suggests fact which will be
startling to the people who imagine
that hard times injure only the poor.
1t is quite right that public sympathy
should be principally with those to
whom financial troubles means the
wolf at the door, nevertheless depres-
sion, long continued, keeps rich men
and women awake when they ought to
be asleep. Our Philadelphia cotempo-
rary notes that all the heavy declines in
cotton and woolen goods have been
for the benefit of the poor and to the
loss of the rich. The same may be said
of the great decline in the rate of inter-
est and the cheapening of real estate in
many parts of the country, and also In
considerable degree of the "cut rates.
for railroad travel and freight. The
rich man is, after all, only human be-
ing, and feels just as uncomfortable as
his poorest neighbor; each days trans
actions leaves him poorer than before.
