HIS GOLD POLICY.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND OUTLINES
 HIS FINANCIAL IDEAS.

He Declares Tint There Is Absolute Har-
 Redemption of Bonds by Gold I. the
 Only Way, He Says. --.
 WAsHTNeToN. April 24-The president has at last outlined his policy on national finances He gave out this statement to the press:
 "The inclination on the part of the public to accept newspaper reports concerning the intentions of those charged with the management of our national finances seems to justify my emphatic contradiction of the statement that the redemption of any kind of treasury notes except in gold has at any time been determined upon or con templated by the secretary of the treasury or any other member of the present admin istration.
 'The president and his cabinet are abso- lutely harmonious in the determination to exercise every power conferred upon them to maintain the public credit, to keep the public faith and t0 preserve the parity be- tween gold and hlver and between all financial obligations of the government
 Redemption In Gold Only.
 While the law of 1890 forcing the pur- chase of fixed amount of silver every month provides that the secretary of the treasury, in his discretion, may redeem in either gold or silver the treasury notee given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declaration of the policy of the govern ment to maintain the parity between the two metals seems SO clearly to regulate this discretion as to dictate their redemption in gold.
 "Of course perplexities and difficulties have grown out of an unfortunate finan- cial policy which we found in vogue, and endorsements have arisen from i'll ad- vised financial legislation confronting us at every turn; but with cheerful confidence among the people and patriotic disposi- ton to cooperate, threatened dangers will be averted pending legislative return to better and sounder financial plan. The strong credit of the country still unim- paired, and the good sense of our people, which has never failed in time of need, are at hand to save us from disaster"
