OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
Regular Correspondents Of the Standard.


WASHINGTON, June IL, 1891.
Why did Secretary Foster stop max
ing public the daily statement OF the
cash balance in the United States
Treasury Was he afraid that the
statement would show deficit instead
Of n balanceY These are pertinent
questions nj this time. The last state
ment made, several days ago, showed
that the balance had dropped down to
little over three million dollars.
Then Secretary Foster directed that the
making public of these statements
should be abolished. II he did not do
that because he feared the effect of
these statements on the public, what
did he do il forH The inference is very
plain. Mr. Foster knows that it is only
question of time, and very short
time at that, before he will have to pay
out money which is not strictly speak
ing, available. and that these daily
balances would make il plain the day it
was done. So he arbitrarily decides to
have no more statements, notwith-
standing the right OF the people to know
ut all times the status Of their finances :;
but what do the rights o! the people
count for in the eyes OF Mr.. Foster
Senator Carlisle passed through
Washington this week, but he said he
was not bothering his head about poll
ties just now.
