COVERING THEIR TRACKS.
A PsipsbIe Frand Contemplated by See
retary Foster.

rotary Foster.
Reports from Washington and the re-
cent visit of Secretary Foster to New
York point 20 a state of affairs in the
treasury that causes some solicitudc to
the department officers. 1t is an easy
matter for the president to laud the
generosity Of congress in his southern
speeches, but further north, n Wash
ingtop, the presidents subordinates
are finding il hard to make both ends
meet. The billion dollar congress has
begun TO strain the treasury's resources.
II is frankly conceded that in Sep
TENDER the government will be unable
to meet its debts. In that month fifty
two million dollars of four and hall
per cent, bonds will become due and
the treasury will not have enough
money to pay them. Secretary Foster,
accordingly, proposes to take the law
into his own hards, override congress
and devise temporary makeshift to
conceal the deficit. OF the fifty-two
million dollar bonds which come due
in September about one-half are held
as the basis for national bank note
circulation The banks are willing to
keep these bonds even after they are
due, provided the government will
allow even a small rate of interest
Without the shadow even of warrant
of law Secretary Foster proposes TO ex-
tend these ba;ads for a number of years,
reducing the interest TO two per cent.
While the scheme may have merit as
financial device, il is palpable fraud
on the people. First, il will deceive
them as to the actual state of then
treasury. The people are entitled to
| know What money congress has voted
into and out of the treasury. Secretary
Fosters financiering covers up that
knowledge. Second, ii is an unlawful
exercise of power by the secretary OF
the treasury. BY what warrant does
he assume, independent of congress, Il
refund one dollar of the public debt.
What right has he TO stop payments for
the sinking fund, as it is announced
that he proposes to do? Measures tc
accomplish both of these purposes were
before the late congress, and every in
telligent democratic newspaper ther
pointed out that they were made neces
sary by the extravaganza of congress
itself The republican majority failed
to pass those measures, they ran away
from Washington without making the
usual statement of the total appropria'
tions, and the republican party now
calls On the secretary of the treasury,
In violation of law, 10 cover up and con
ceal the havoc wrought by congress.
The republican party will go into the
next campaign with "a deficit in the
treasury staring it in the face. bany

1t seems that the Democrats tried
their hands too at getting receipts in
bulk from collectors Mckee and
Dougherty before the late State cleo
ton and got them. There was no.
thing wrong about that II they were
genuine, honest receipts, but it seems
farther that the Democratic leaders
still owe $500 on those receipts. Now
this is all wrong. The Republicans
paid for the receipts they got last win
ter right cash down-yes $500 in ad-
vance The Democrats should have
done tho same thing and not have COM
PEELED the collectors to come to tho
Republicans for aid.
Unless lately paid, the Democratic
party owes Dickey and Neary several
thousand dollars for unpaid taxes on
receipts advanced to the party. A big
effort was made by several leading
Democrats to raise the money by sub
scription and pay them. That they
succeeded TO certain extent is known.
but that the debt has been all wiped
out is not known. Knowing tho diff.
ference between promises and ready
cash collectors Mckee and Dougherty
cannot be blamed for taking Republi-
can ready cash for legitimate and hon
est receipts in preference to Demo
cratic promises that 50 often failed.
