The democrat who made the dis
covery that there was S87, 900, 900
less in the T. S. Treasury now than
there was on the first of July, 1890
thought that he had found veritable
mares nest. He was right about
there being that much less money
on hand, but in order to have made
his statement complete he should
have included the fact that since
July |, 1890, there has been paid
out by the Treasury for the pur-
chase of bonds $l13,810,043, Just
$a6,S10,S43 more than the reduction
in cash spoken of. Thus another
democratic campaign yarn is dis
posed of. And so it will be to the
end OF the chapter. The thoughtful
people of this country will not be
stampeded by democratic misstate-
ments or partial statements of facts.
There is no mystery in the republi-
can administration of the country IS
fnanciers; the facts and the figures
are always accessible.
