part of President Cleveland and his
cabinet carried the country safely
through what at one period of last
week looked very much like a danger
Gus financial crisis. The free gold was
exhausted and the continued demand
for gold for export brought the ad-
m ntstration face 10 face with the
question of whether loads should be
s)id or portion OF the 500, 900, 900
gold reserve fund should he used to re-
deem notes presented to the Treasury.
Under the law gold might have been
refused for Treasury notes, they being
payable IN coin. but as it had been the
practice of the department to redeem
these notes with gold it was thought
that it might have "a bad effect to dis
continue the practice just now. so it
was decided to use a portion of the
reserve fund. and IS, 900, 900 of it was
used; but it was only for single day.
Now, the Treasury has replaced what
it used from the fund and has, besides.
enough gold to meet all demands, for
the present at least. Public opinion,
as represented in Washington, is with
President Cleveland in the belief that
so long as there is known to be more
than 500, 200, 900 in gold in the United
States, there is. no necessity for the
government to sell bonds to procure
gold, and as for using a part OF the
gold reserve fund to redeem notes. taat
is precisely what the fund was accu-
mulated for, and many prominent dem
ocrats do not hesitate to say that it
should be used, II necessary, until it
becomes apparent that it will be ex-
lausiel, before bonds should be is
sued. The present indications are
that the Treasury will soon have
plenty of gold, us bankers, particu-
larry in the West and s ,utE, are pl.-
clng their gold at its disposal, and
visitors to the World Fair will soon
turn stream OF European gold our
way.
