TnE question has frequently been
asked, where is that enormous surplus
in the treasury which the Democratic
speakers talked so. much about last fall.
The Washington Republican says:
During the last campaign, which re-
suited in a Democratic triumph, the sup
porters of Mr.. Cleveland all over the
country were continually reiterating the
assertion that the United States treas
ury held over SiOO,0OO,0O0 locked up
which should at once be liberated to
give business an impetus, stimulate pri-
ces, and relieve in some way the hard
ships of the poor laborers. Prominent
among the noisy disclaimers utterlng
these allegations was Mr.. Hendricks,
now Vlce-President. Again and again
were the statements shown to be false,
but still the cry went up for new men to
examine the books and test the accuracy
of the debt statements. Well, Deme-
cratic Secretary of the Treasury has
been in power little more than four
weeks. Not content with taking the
figures Of the officers of his department,
he called to his aid an accomplished ao-
countant from New York, sincere
Democrat, and the new debt statement
came out on time. Nothing new was
discovered, however, but Secretary Man
ming has concluded that fractional sill
yer and minor coins are not available
hfsas fo- doing business, and that OF the
gold coin and bullion on hand SlO0.0O0,-
600 must be held for no other purpose
than to meet the redemption of United
States notes. Deducting these items
from what had heretofore been deemed
available cash he finds the balance to be
about S22,OOO,OOO, and the Secretary ls
doubtless right. Neither his new ac-
Gountant nor himself, however, treated
as matured liabilities the S3i3, 100000 OF
United States notes, although they are
such, and the treasury is obliged to re-
deem them at sight If presented for that
purpose. Had this item been included
the treasury, instead Of having any
available balance, would be unable to
meet its sight obligations by about S22O,.
100000. For the first month, however
the Democrats have done we'll. Instead
of S4OO,OO,000 surplus they admit only
S22,OOO,OO0, and with another month o
such labor we may expect to see short
age in cash Of 500, 1000, 600, the treasury
banking to that extent upon its credit
But where are MIR. Hendricks and hi
mathematical friends? By all means lie
them be heard.n

THE SILVER CONVENTION.

In the Legislature, it has been
resolved to hold Silver Conyen-
ton in Carson City. on Saturday,
January 3lst, 1885, and that five
citizens of this State be invited
from each county to act as dele
gates to such convention. 1t is to
be hoped that the men chosen for
delegates will be broad, liberal
minded men, whose knowledge and
experience will well fit them for
the task which is before them. It
is gigantic task which these sill
yer conventions, which are to as
semble this month in Colorado,
California and Nevada, are under
taking. All the money interests Ut
the Eastern States and Europe
are to be COPIED with. Indeed, the
numerical strength that is opposed
to US makes the task great Of sill
yer even holding its own. And
yet, with all these difficulties star
ing these conventions in the face,
if prudence, zeal and honesty of
purpose actuates the majority of
the members of these silver coun-
ellis, much good can and will be ac-
complished by their action, if
united. The most important part
is to get good start, to compre-
hend well what is most needed, and
do it. The members of the con-
vention should remember, in their
zeal for silver, that there are other
interests and other people in the
world besides those who dwell on
the West side of the Rocky Noun
tains, and to so conduct their de-
alterations that their action will
impress our Eastern brethren that
there are other inhabitants and
other interests besides those on
the Eastern slope Of the Rockies.
The silver question is one Of vast
importance, reaching into every
avenue of life and trade. It is
specially the duty Of these conven-
tions to present to the world at
large the injustice Of any law
which depreciates silver; and it is
especially their duty and province
to point out a remedy for the evil.
It will not do to 60 into . commit
tee of the whole and resolve this
and that. Resolutions are we'll
enough in their place, but there
must be more than resolutions.
There must be just and equitable
methods devised and made public
wherewith to maintain silver in its
present position. There must be
steps taken to show to the people
at large that all this cry Of oceans
Of silver is lie, manufactured out
of whole cloth that in many coun-
tries in Europe there is ten times
the amount Of silver, per capita, in
circulation, to what there is in the
United States. There must be a
gathering of facts and figures,
which will show to the dullest in
tellect that the golden calf of Wall
Street is jealous of its worshipers,
and will permit no halfway hon.
age; that those who are in high
places, even the Treasurer Of the
United States and his banking
partners, have cleaned up hundreds
of thousands Of dollars on the fuc-
tuation of silver during the last
sixty days of 1884; that when silver
runs down in a month or so from
s1.1O to $l.O7, as was the case dur
ing the last sixty days of 1884, that
some unseen and powerful influ
ence is at work to accomplish just
such a 1uctuation. All such mat
tiers can be properly and proftably
considered by the silver conven-
tons which are about to assemble.
