WHAT MR.. CLEVELAND SAYS.
rhs Prssidens Declares that Gold VIII
he Ussd for Redemption Of All
Treasury Notss-

Treasury Notes-
To . representative Of the Uuited Press
the President said Saturday night:
"The inclination on the part Of the public
to accept newspaper reports conce rning the
intentions Of those charged with the manage
ment 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 Al any time been de-
termined upon or contemplated by the secre-
tary OF the treasury OF any other member OF
the present administration
The President aud his cabinet arc abso-
lutelJ harmonious 10 the determination TO c1-
ercise every power conferred upon them To
maintain the public credit, to keep tae public
faith and TO preserve the parity between gold
and silver and betweeT all financial obliga-
tons of the government
.swhile the law of 1890, forcing the pur-
chase OF fred amount of silver every
month. provides that the secretary OF the
treasury, In his discretion, may redeem In
either gold or silver the treasury notes 81 ven
In pay yment of silver purchases, yet the de
clarstion OF the policy Of the government to
maintain the parity between the two metals
seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as
to dictate their redemption In gold
.sof course perpleritles and difficulties have
grown out of an unfortunate financial policy
which wo found in vogue, and embsrrAss-
ments have arisen from nl-advisei financial
legislation confronting US at every tara; but
with cheerful confidence among the people
and = patriotic disposition 10 cooperate,
threatened danger will be aye<ted pending n
legislative return 70 better and sounder
financial plan
The strong credit OF the coant-y, stilI I'M
impaired. and the good sense o, our people,
which has never failed Ia the time Of need,
are al hand 10 save Us from disaster

The growing number OF uses 70

dence 10 thank if it keeps on getting
enough to eat and wear. The fact
that an average OF half million
Chinese die OF starvation each year
may not sustain the Modoc theory,
but it indicates the necessity for
mankind to go seriously aboat the

OUR younger mon who are gradu-

found to be lamentably deficient In
general information. They know
nothing and care nothing outside OF
the field in which they are specially
interested. Tho result is that we
have n large number Of persons who
are doing n large business on u very
small capital. They are thought to
bo educated. and thei- opinions ought
to be worth something, but most of
them do not know enough to know
that their education is so partial and
incomplete that their opinions are
not worth much outside OF their own

wheat as n permanent unit of value, which
all farmers would appreciate, and the cur
rency Of the country would represent &C.
tual worth and labor performed. Both
gold and silver could then be dispensed
with and the present bimetallic problem
solved. Our currency, moreover, would
be as good as gold or silver in foreign ex-
change, for our wheat goes to all the coun-
tries of the world
"In all this talk about metal for coin
age" continued Mr.. Edison, 81 am sur
prised that no one has suggested iron.
Iron is the most precious metal. Gold is
of no use or silver either Mankind has
no use for either gold or silver, but iron
could not be dispensed with. If the peo-
pie would only give up this foolish, ira
ditional, hereditary hankering for gold
and silver, these metals would not be
worth the price of old lead and would be
kicked aside by civilization. The human
race, on the other hand, cannot dispense
with iron. Iron must be produced to
keep pace with consumption, or its price
will steadily rise.
"The demand for iron is steady, and will
never cease, Therefore, why not issue
treasury certificates on ironP This is the
greatest iron producing country in the
world, and our output amounts annually
to more than the output of both gold and
silver. Instead of loading up the treasury
with these useless metals, and, as people
would want bills of large denomination .
accompany the wheat dollar, why not buy
iron or steel instead, and issue treasury
certificates upon that|

lors Of Saint Denis, thirty miles from here,
discussed last night the fetes to be held
during the visit OF the Russian fleet at
ToUlon Three councillors denounced the
car vehemently and pronounced against
the governments celebration in honor of
his naval officers. Onecouncillor shouted
amid applause; "Why should we honor
that despot, vino sends hundreds of our
friends to Siberia every yearW A motion
to vote 200 francs for the celebration of the
TOulon visit was lost. The Toulon muni-
cipal council voted to spend $4,000 francs
on the fetes in their city, provided the gov
