WIN. +. CURTIS, assistant secretary
of the treasury, has returned to Wash
lngton. During his stay in New York
of two DAYS Mr.. Curtis conferred with
the representative bankers OF the city
in regard to financial Lleasures for tie
relief of the reasury-Friday' Repub-
lie. What matter of fact statement
of an action so derogatOry to the inter-
ests of the poor of this country. 1t
seems that matters have assumed such
a shape that tue administration is
afraid to take a stand upon any policy
without running up to New York to
''confer with the bankers OF course
the tender hearted banker is In love
with the poor man of this country and
ne would doubtless use his pulp with
the administration TO: the good Of the
worthy destitute. That is what he gets
his "pull'' for The Door man, with
an insufiiciency of fcod and clothing,
is very nngrateful, when he fails to see
where the banker of the land is benefit
ing him. 1t is through his pulp with
the administrator and legislative bod
les OF the country. The banker is a
good, good man and he flOurisheth like
green bay tree under the present laws
And so does the administration. Blu,

THE tariff has undoubtedly caused
thousands of men to be thrown out OF
employment in this country. Certainly.
We can't compete with England when
we have high tariff on imports and
consequently great scads of laboring
men are out of a job. Now the demo
Gratis propose to relieve the financial
stringency and give work to the thous-
ands OF idle men by cutting great cash
of less than two per cent. in that iniqui-
tous and despicable high tariff with
their little Wilson bill. All, what an
easy matter it is for these preponder-
OuSly wise democrats to settle these
mighty and momentous questions of
such national Importance. Their rapid
lty and correctness of action is truly
something to be marvelled at. But of
course the reduction of onc-half the
money supply of the country had moth
ing whatever to do with the financial
stringency and the present hard times,
and it is amazing to hear an American
citizen claim that such would be the
case. Why an inmate of an insane
asylum could easily understand that a
reduction of one-half in the nations
money supply, or the decentralization of
silver, would Immediately place the
country in a condition of prosperity
and business of all kind would flourish
in an unprecedented manner. The
present hard times and the freezing and
starving of thousands of poor but w0r-
thy people in this country and the driv-
ing of numberless others to criminal
occupation for u livelihood was all
the result of that obnoxious and pre-
posterous high tariff and the only pos
sble remedy is to make huge rednc-
ton of something less than two per
Gent. IN the present rates. BAIL

A BILL has been introduced in the
Virginia legislature, providing for state
banks of issue. The circulation will be
based on state bonds, which is simply
the credit of the state, and one fourth
of the capital stock is to be federal cur
rency so that the money will circulate
anywhere in the United States. Of
course the cry of wild cat money will
arise; but there is a great deal of mar
gin to cover before the wild cat limit is
reached.
