the maintenance of the present sound
currency they are the absolute main
tenance of gold payments and the ma
tional banking system. BY his advo-
cacy of the destruction of the latter and
his votes for free silver Mr.. Carlisle has
declared himself the opponent of both.
During his two months in Office he has
added to his record as an unsound
financier reputation for vacillation and
uncertainty. These causes of them
selves, which have been shown all
through Mr.. Carlisle's Legislative career,
should have been sufficient warning
against his selection for position SO
closely in touch with the most sensitive
portion of the business world.
Thus far Mr.. Carlisle has been fail
hre as Secretary of the treasury.
Whether or not Mr.. Cleveland and his
cabinet advisers conjointly will be able
to peform the duties of the office re-
mains to be seen. The active interest
which the President has taken in the
management of the treasury is partial
evidence that he realizes Mr.. Carlisle's
weakness and his own mistake in select
ing him--if it is possible for him to
realize that he ever makes mistakes
at all.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-04-27

II has become plainly evident during
the past two months that one of the
most important and delicate positions
in the government has been intrusted
to man whose unfitness for the office
can no longer be doubted.
1t is not often that the selection of a
leading cabinet officer is attended with
SO universal favor by his party and
the mugwump contingent as was
accorded to Mr.. Carlisle when his
selection was announced by Mr..
Cleveland for the position of secretary
of the treasury. He was hailed as a
Nestor of finance by the Democracy and
as the one man, in the cabinet who, if
all others failed, would make for him
self record of craftsmanship and save
his party frcm disaster at the hands of
its warning factions on the financial
questions of the day.
Mr.. Carlisle had made for himself a
reputation as a destructive tariff re-
former. Constructive ability he had
not shown. 1t was as critic Of the
policy Of others, and not as the origi-
nator of anything new or better, that he
had been known. Mr.. Cleveland, the
Democratic party and the Independents.
made the serious error to suppose that
the characteristics of obstruction are
the same as those of originality.
And yet the career of Mr.. Carlisle
should have taught his friends that he
was out of harmony with that whole
banking and fiscal policy which has
been in vogue the past thirty years, and
under which the national debt has been
reduced from 81, ,00O, ,OOO, 900 to $500 ,0OO,-
600, and national currency has been
maintained against whose soundness no
suspicion has ever arisen. 1t Is not i'm
probable indeed that Mr.. Carlisles hes
itancy in accepting the Office was
caused by his own knowledge Of his
lack of sympathy with financial meth
ods which were considered sound in
the Northern states.
As member of the Forty fifth and
Forty-sixth congresses Mr.. Carlisle
worked and voted for free silver coin
age. 1t was through his efforts in the
Forty-sixth congress that an amend
ment was added to the refunding bill
providing that national bank circula-
ton shorld be secured by deposits of
bonds bearing only 3 per cent. interest.
This amendment, If carried at that
time QssD, would have compelled
all banks to call in their cir
culation aud virtually close their doors,
by depriving them of all profits
in business. Since that time his oppo-
sition 10 the national banking system
has by no means lessened. One of the
main reasons recently advanced by him
against the issue Of bonds in order to
keep intact the gold reserve being that
sucha bond issue might be used by
banks as basis for further increasing
their circulation.
II there are two elements essential to
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-04-27

The casual complainer OF the cold
and backward spring weather does not
perhaps fully realize that the weather is
responsible for very large shrinkage
in the bulk of the trade for the present
and the past month, and that large
number of the most enterprising and
successful retail concerns in the city
have telt the pinch severely.
The weather has caused the large
stocks bought for the spring trade TO
remain on the counters to>a greater ex-
tent than has been the case for many
years before, and the effect of the
restricted trade will not be dissipated
for a long time. The season is too far
advanced to hope that the deficiency
can be made up, even if the weather is
seasonable now. The mischief has been
done, and the money that the retailers
have not received will not reach them
at all but will cause them to feel to
some extent embarrassed for the entire
year.
This state of things serves to draw
attention to the difference in the man
ner of conducting trade that becomes
more marked each year. Formerly the
needs of family were about the same
from year to year, and the merchant
could calculate what he must provide.
Now the public taste has been entirely
changed, and what it will demand no
man can predict. The wonderful facili-
ties offered by the great stores has
helped to create instability in the de-
mand-by the perfection of their service.
There is no temptation to buy in antici-
patton of needs, as it is easy to supply
every need at an hours notice.
The poor trade of the spring season
will be felt throughout the year. The
money will not find its way into circu-
lation, at least not all Of it. The Chi
cago fair will draw large amounts Of
money out of town, and the causes that
are more general that are expected to
make trade light this summer viii be
operative here also.
Altogether, while it is not best to be
prophets of evil, it appears that the
coming summer is likely to furnish the
prudently inclined some excuse for the
exercise of conservatism, SO far as the
spending of money is concerned.

"THE ITCH FOR PRIVACY.

Harper's Weekly for this week has a
delightful article with the above title that
attacks the fad for privacy which has
OF late grown up among certain class
of people who have no other title to
notoriety than their assumption Of the
airs of aristocracy.
This itch for privacy is not genuine,
as every newspaper reporter knows very
well. 1t would not be assumed even if
it was suspected that the professions of
desire that nothing be said in the
papers would be taken literally.
But there is another sort of itching
for privacy that is more damaging to
the public and more genuine in its pro-
testatioas. 1t is the growing re, uctance
of the public officials to let the public
know what they are doing and how they
are doing it.
There Is cause for this, also. 1t is
that the reporters and conductors of
some newspapers have not kept faith
with the officials, and have betrayed
matters that were entrusted to them in
confidence. This has led officials to re-
gard all newspaper men as unworthy of
being trusted, and to refuse to divulge
to all what might safely be trusted with
some.
There is one consideration in connec-
tion with this matter that is of more
consequence than the deprivation of
the newspapers of the news that they
think it is their right to have. 1t is
that it tends to remove the official from
that close contact with the people that
ought to be maintained, and to breed a
feeling of independence that is not con-
templated by our form of government.
The official itch for privacy is not to
be encouraged. 1t is not beneficial to
the people nor 10 the official, and it is
not in the least necessary. There are
newspapers that will respect the right
OF officials to reserve certain portions of
their knowledge from the public until
it can be presented in proper and COM
plete fashion. The garbled and incom-
plete matter that is printed is far worse
for the official and the public service
than the truth would be, and the gar
bled versions will continue to be
printed as long as the officials attempt
to keep the facts secret.
the remadv for tha tro.,l,la Ia for Tho
officials to follow the same rules with
newspapers that they do in their pri-
vate business, and trust those that are
trustworthy and refuse to have any
thing to do with such as have betrayed
trust or confidence.
This evil is more conspicuous than
may be imagined, and there ought to be
some remedy applied at once.
