The New York Chronicle, the highes
financial authority in the county, has n
great deal to say in commendation of the
financial management Of the government
II says that the Treasury Department has
been most admirably conducted since
March that "by a perfectly natural pro-
, cess it has so rever Ell the currents or flow
OF money, that instead of disaster staring
it in the. face, % wac the case at the start,
it is now not oily strong in the
present, but has the assurance of
strength in months TO come. Ia other
words it hes recovered IFS command
of the geld reserves When it entered
upon its work, the policy of forcing
out silver certificates through the pre-
MUM put upon their issue, which had
been in operst on 30 long, had rescltsd il
gradually reducing the revenues 20 a mere
return of the same certificates and in
drawing down the gSld balance until it
barely covered the SlO00OO,000 required
as a reserve for the legal tenders. Under
this process New York customs receipts
were so changed that il stead OF being all
gold and its equivalent as they had been, the
proportion paid in silver certificates kept
increasi until il reached nearly AZ per
cent. Of the whole" Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration simply stopped putting pre-
MUM on the inferior currency, aud the
result is that whereas "in April silver Ger.
tihcates institute 4lS per cent. of the
total receipts, in May they were only about
371 per cent, in June they were down to
"a per cent, in July to about 2Si per cent.
in August to lS5 and in September to
about % per cent. Was there ever a more
complete demonstration of the effect OF
correct financial views in Treasury manage
ment than these few figures contain2 And
we must be excused for adding, also, that

fore his eyes, votes to continue silver dol.

wrong either with his head or heart" And
in this we qlite agree with our contempo
