The true facts IN connection with the wreck
Ing Of the Madison Square Bank are coming
out opportuncly for the consideration OF The
voters Of this State The publication of the
facts has not been accomplished without great
difficulty. The Democratic politicians and Office
holders who have been prOfting by the misuse
Of dcposilors' moneys have made mighty re-
sstancc TO every attempt 10 let the public know
the truth. 1t is now shown beyond the posi-
bllity Of a doubt that the consumption of time
by the examiners Of the Banking Department.
and by the dishonest pretcnce of scheme TO
rcorganiZc the bank, were both features OF
conspiracy to keep back the facts until after
election. There were Democratic State officers
past and present, there We're Democratic can
didatcs for State office and there were Demo
cratic politicians galore to be protected, and in
the yllanous schemes to protect them there Is
now no room 10 doubt that tile Banking De
partmcnt was either Il party or a tool. Nearly
three weeks were occupied by the examiners of
the department in going over the affairs of
the bank before the receivers who bad been APP
pointed 10 take charge Of it were permitted TO
come into possession Of III" property; ana
meanwhile not whisper of the true condition
Of affairs could be obtained from any one. Then
came the conspiracy TO shut the mouths OF the
receivers by the sham scheme 10 rcorganiZc the
bank The very men who had been cutting IL,
whose forgcrcs and pcrjurics had accomplished
the theft Of hundreds of thousands OF dollars
belonging to the dcposiors. were clamorous for
a reorganization, and, bankrupts all in despite
Of their stcaings. were magnlccntly forward
nine.
Perfectly convinced of the insinccrity and dis
honesty of these offers. the receivers naturally
hcsilatc1 10 oppose the reorganization. They
had the criticism Of dcposiors TO stand in fear
Of and until they had forced the wrcckcrS TO
the point where the money must be forthcom-
ing or the whole story of fraud revealed they
could do little. That point came on Monday,
with the result that several of the chief con
spirators are under arrest and the whole story
Of rascaliiy is laid before the people.
1t is a shameful tale in all its bearings. II
actually seems as if the bank had been started
for the purpose Of being wrecked. Prominent
Democrats were got into IT, The Democratic
State Treasurer, Mr.. fitzgerald. became its
vicc-prcsdcnt and Il director, and hundreds Of

Mayor Bocdy's friends assert that he is the
victim Of partisan defamation. They declare
that the attacks Of the opposition only strength
on his place in the hearts of true Democrats.
They find it convenient to forget that the most
serious criticism Of the Body administration
has come from non-parisan sources. The
Grand Jurics. which have united in present
ments against Illegal auditing. :uIdacious rob

and unlawful combinations like the railway

made under every disadvantage by three OF
the Mayors friends fragrant abuses In the ad-
ministration Of the Fire Department were
pointed out in detail and the severest structures
were passed upon Commissioner Ennis's con-
duet The report has been in the possession OF
the Mayor for several months. but nothing has
been done The Fire Commissioner has not been
removed. and no radical measures have been
taken to reform the abuses of the department
These facts are understood by the Fire Under
writer's and by property generally, and
the Mayors action in disregarding the warn
ngs of the insurance companies and OF his own
investigating commission Is denounced in I'M
measured terms. Surely the Mayors friends
will not say that opposition OF this KIND en-
dears him to faithful Democrats.
The Brooklyn Eagle" has disclosed the fact
that some of the great financial institutions of
New-York have ceased to lend money on Brook
Ign real estate, or to buy the bonds and tax
certificates of the city The reasons are frank
" stated The constitutional debt limit has,
been reached. and may be exceeded any day;
the tax rates have steadily risen; the percentage
of assessed to actual valuation is abnormally
high, and shrnkage of real estate values
is apprehended as the result of overwhelming
burdens of taxation and disagreement. The
New-York savings banks as lenders have had
enough of Brooklyn bonds, tax certificates and
real estate under existing conditions. The man.
ayers are not politicians; they are plain, prac-
teal business men like the Fire Underwriters.
They virtually declare that they will not in
vest In mortgages or other Brooklyn securities,
or receive them as collatcrals, if Mayor Body
be reelected and the domination Of Ring and
Gang be prolonged Indefinitely. Surely the
blindest partisan Of the Mayor will not say that
opposition from such Il source entities him to
affectionate and loyal support from q" all true
Democrats"
Mayor Body is the hired servant, the dumb
creature, the plant tool Of Il City Hall gang Of
irresponsible and rapacicus politicians, who are
running Brooklyn That Is the sum Of the
whole matter, and it is not partisan dcfama-
ton. 1t is the testimony of an empty city
treasury. of every property-owners tax bills. OF
every insurance companys forecast of fire risks
and Of every prudent fnancier's estimate Of the
present tendencies Of real estate. The defeat
of the Ring candidate for Mayor is Il matter Of
scf-prcScrvation for Brooklyn.

Edward NJ. Shepard made most effective
speech against Mayor Body on Monday night
when he compared the tax bills on New-York
and Brooklyn property. He proved that
property on the Bowery worth $4,000 was taxed
si99 so, while property on Columbia Heights
worth s21, 900 was taxed $50 80. The tax on
the New-York pEaperty at the Brooklyn rate
would have been 1881, The tax on the Brook.
Ign property at the New-York rate would have
been $lS3. These are facts which Mayor Body
does not want in his educational canvass"
They prove too much against the Ring Of which
he is the ornamental figurehead.

he considers Mr. Hill one Of the competent

Cor. GAZETTE 1t was Davies who
organized the party accompanying
the princess to Washington when
she went 10 state her case to Presi-
dent Cleveland. An interesting
event in Kaiulani's life occurs to-
morrow, when she attains her ma
jority. The princess will winter at
Wiesbaden. Speaking about her
and her plans, Davies said: There
has been a great deal said and
telegraphed about the relation the
princess bears to the queen. They
talk about the princess being will
ing to take the throne. Now, her
position is simply this: The prin-
cess is perfectly loyal to the queen;
there can be no question of her
taking the throne during the
queens lifetime except at the
queens request; so all this talk to
the contrary is entirely unfounded.
1t is a question that never has
arisen and can never arise. She
has been represented as heading
some other party. There is only
one party of the Hawaiians, and,
they are represented by the queen
aud the princess as her heiress.
The princess went to Washington
not to her own interest, but in those
of the Hawaiian throne and ma
tion." As to the future of the
nation, as far as the United States
is concerned, Davies is of the opin-
ion that Cleveland will refuse

THE GOLD coNsPlRAToRs.

They Want to Force the United states to
Contract Perpetual Four-per-cent. Gold
Debt.
Suppose the Rothschild syndicate
shall succeed in getting all of Uncle
Sans gold, that is, all the banks will
furnish and the 100000, 900 reserve,
what then? Why, of course, the gov
ernment will then have to issue bonds
to get the gold. Say 1t issues hun
dred million. The Rothschilds will
pay it, get the bonds, deliver the gold,
and proceed to draw it out within
thirty days. Then what? Repeat it.
What then? Repeat it. But where
is the end? The demonstration will
by that time be made that those
bonds cannot be taken up, be-
cause the gold to pay them can
not be had. Then this syndicate can
come to the rescue, making hundred
million by putting this country on a
gold basis, just about the time it will
have completed its contract with Rus
sia-Hungary and the bonds will be
made perpetual at per cent. That is
the scheme. Is Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration a factor in this conspiracy?
1t looks so. In two years it will feel
so. In four years 1t will be realized as
that way. To interpret coin to mean
silver and gold, just as it is, would save
this country. Nothing else will. 1t is
almost in the tolls of this octopus syn
dicate. If it gets there fully it will be
impossible to reclaim it.-Montgomery

a London Financial journal Talks About
American Credit Abroad.
In relation to to the silver situation
in the United States the London Statist,
of December "a, makes the following
observation: For one thing it is very
clear, that if the United States were to
accept silver as practically the standard
money of the country, there would be
a very considerable rise in prices in the
United States. At present prices are
regulated by the value of gold; then
they would be regulated by the value
of silver and they would consequently
rise very considerably. That would, in
the first place, stimulate production.
exports would largely increase, and all
producers receiving higher prices would
come to think that their profits were
increasing. Nor ought there to
be any difficulty in maintain
ing the credit of the United
States abroad. There are very many
ways in which sufficient gold could be
obtained to fulfill all the foreign obli-
cations of the country. For one thing,
the government might if it pleased con-
tinue to collect the customs duties in
gold, as it did while specie payments
were suspended. But in any case what
ever course was adopted, country SO
rich and growing so rapidly as the
United States would be easily able to
obtain whatever gold it required to
fulfill all its obligations let its stand
ard of value be what it might. We see
no reason to doubt, then, that the
progress of the United States would be
as rapid and as well assured with a
single silver standard as with gold
standard; quite possibly, even, it might
be more rapid"

THE GOLD RESERVE.

Let 1t Go, There Will Then be No Argu-
ment Against Silver and Paper Money.
For the first time in many years the
gold reserve in the United States treas
ury was last week reduced below $780,
000, 900, and we still live. We have lis
tened for years to the arguments of our
gold-bug plutocrats tending to show
that the reconciliation of silver would
drive gold ont of the country. But
here and now, in time of peace, with
our entire financial system standing on
the apex, and the apex standing square
ly on the little gold left in the country
to hold it down we find it taking to it.
self wings and flying across the Allan
tic at rate that will leave the country
without gold within five years if con-
tinued
In this so-called crisis the only> rem
edy offered or proposed by our astute
tinanciers is the issue of more bonds to
buy back the gold They do not even
propose to hinder its fight or offer a
means to do so, but only to take the
bonds of the government for gold in
order that the government shall have a
supply of that metal to deliver to ship
pers who fill the European orders.
Thus the old humbug goes on-rob-
bing the people until we wonder where
it will all end. But while our financial
system daily totters upon its narrowing
basis, we CLEAN one grain of comfort.
When the gold is all gone our opponents
viii lose their main argument against
free silver, as nothing can drive the
gold out of the country then.-Farmer
and Labor Review.
