CONDlT1ON OF THE TREASURY
facts Revealed by the Displacement of
the Republican Administration.

racts Revealed by the Displacement of
'he republican Administration.
The administration which sought 70
escape eensure by concealing the truth
from the people has gone. The admin.
lstratlon has come which proposes to
zeal with the people in entire candor
ana stralghtforwardness. It's first duty
10 the country, to the party and to
itself is to make public at the earliest
moment a truthful statement of the
condition of the treasury. Upon that
cohultion at the present juncture al
most everything depends, the need of
an extraordinary session of congress,
the opportunity for a reduction of tariff
taxation, the several currency cues.
IONS, the necessity for a new draft
upon the national credit. Before this
question the matter of appointments
10 once drops relatively into insipni6.
inc The former is imperative. the
latter can wait. The business of the
country is concerned in an exact knowl-
edge OF the treasury situation and of
the steps taken to meet it: the pref or.
ences OF localities as to persons are
concerned in the appointments. The
ADMINISTRATION must and will meet the |
greater and more pressing problem
first. ~
The dispatch of Col. A. K. Mcclure
TO the Philadelphia Times unouestion.
ably anticipates in a general way the
specihc statement which Secretary Car
isle must soon issue to the country. II
points to a deficit in the treasury. 50
considerable that on the last full day
OF ms term Secretary Foster refused
70 meet an obligation of 81. 600. 00O
ooeauae there was no money on
to pay it. 1t asserts that the
goid reserve of 500, 900, 600 has been
INVADED and is now short bv seven or
eight millions of dollars. and TINS ex.
plans why the last debt statement nv
Mr.. Foster on the first of the month
!acked the usual announcement of the
rec gold on hand in the treasury. The
oniy pretext offered by the Harrison
administration for its policy Of evasion
concealment has been that the full

The difficulty of paying for import

stimulated the people to new kinds of
industry. Among other things, cotton
