WASTE OF THE SURPLUS.
THE DEMOCRATS MAY HAVE TO
ISSUE NEW BONDS.

r representative Gable of Illinois
strongly Advocates the Plan - It
Might Be an Object Lesson on the
Extravaganza and Mistakes OF the
Republican Administration.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-It must be re-
membered that the present administration
with the ready assistance Of the last con-
gress, deliberately proceeded to wipe out the
500, ,00O, 900 surplus which the last admins
tration turned over. In order that there
might be less opportunity for tariff re-
ductions. 1t was largely TO keep the tariff
taxes up that the large pension increases,
for example, were made and it was with the
same end in view that until It became haz-
ardous to do 30 the administration cou-
tinued to buy bonds, so that 1t was
able to announce on Aug. q. last,
that the reduction Of the debt less the cash
in the treasury up to that time. June 80,
1892. amounted to 5000, $40 ,6S1 49. OF
course it will be understood by the few who
do understand the present method of keep
ing the treasury accounts, that during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1892. and during
the previous year, a considerable portion of
the amount set down as applied to the sink
ing fund was really applied to the bank re-
demption fund. Still the fact remains that
since the present administration came into
power more than the 800, ZOO, 900 surplus
which it found In the treasury has been paid
out for bonds.
THE TALK OF NEW LOAN.
As yet the proposition to issue a new
series of bonds to make up for the threat
ened deficiency Of the revenue has not been
approved by any Of the democratic leaders
on financial questions in congress, Repre-
sentative Cable Of Illinois, who is the only
man who has lent his name to it, advocates
it strongly In connection with an extra ses-
sion, bis idea being that for the new con-
gress as soon as it could be got together to
promptly authorize new loan IN order to
repair the deficiencies In the treasury
created under a republican administration
would strikingly impress the public mind
with the extravaganza OF the republican
congress and the mistakes OF the republican
administration

The French Chamber of Deputies rose at
