Secretary Window has made the follow

by Senator Plumb: The operations Of the
treasury department have not been con-
Quoted with view TO controlling the finhn-
ces of the country, but In pursuance to q
fxed policy to produce the least
possible disturbance in the natural
current Of events. The purpose
Of the secretary has been and is
to par out Cor bonds all the available sur
pins ~ rapidly ~ possible. In pursuance
Of this policy and with view TO keep
money In circulation to the fullest extent
practicable, purchases OF bonds were so
freely made that Jan. 90 the available bal
snce Of public funds was reduced TO less
than 81, ,0oo, ,o00, and this entire amount,
~ well a. further sums amounting TO
about &ls, ,000. 900, were ON deposit in the
national banks. From this Ia will be
seen that the entire surplus and $le.000,s
900 In addition were In circulation. Ia view
,of this FACT and Che large disbarsemenfs
nsade II was nos deemed prudent 60 draw
further ON The funds In the treasury and
therefore purchases of ! per cents were
temporarily suspended and government
purchases for ths time confined 20 Al per
cent bonds. On March 6, when the pnr-
chases OF por cents was resumed, the
available surplus had reached 2s.0oo, 900,
the whole OF which was on deposit In ma
tlonai banks. The amount now ON de-
post in national banks Is about ~. COG. .fso0
more than the entire available surplus.

When a government undertakes to

IL a government deyotes itself to

itself to the promotion Of commerce,
the merchant aud f1nancier takes the
highest place. If it undertakes,
however, to produce public happiness
by legislating cash out of some mems
pockets into other mems pockets, by
enabling the unselflsh or knavish or

with Reed, with which the Repub-

direction it was travelling. They

The meaning Of all these things

the broker who managed the bargain
would become the head of a party, the
