OF COURSE THERE rs PLENTY OF
MONEY, IN A HORN.

On June 20 the rate for money in
New York rose to rs per cent. This
resulted in the clearing house COM
mittee determining to issue clearing
house certificates, as the American
Banker expresses it, mot because
they found it necessary to do so, but
as strategic measure against the
growing stringency." The result Of
the issue of this substitute for money
was the immediate fall Of the rate to
the normal figure.
Of course this issue of certificates
was not necessary" because every
body knows money is plenty. 1t was
only done for diversion. The strin-
gency is purely imaginary, and the
bank and business failures attributed
to this csuse ought not to have
occurred. They only imagined that
they had no money. They were
cranks.

GOOD FOR CONGRESSMAN BR0DBR-
IOK,

The Hon. Case Broderick, of the
First district, seems to be sound on
the silver question. His declarations
are IN happy contrast with those of
Mr.. Curtis of this district, and they
come much nearer representing the
sentiment Of the people Of Kansas, as
will appear from the following:
HoLEoN, KAs., July Especial Hon.
Case BroderiCk says to the Daily Champion:
"rhs fight is on and will doubtless continue
for four years or more. am surprised that
80 many republican papers in Kansas, and
leaders in our party, are 80 Jealous in per-
suading everybody to agree with Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial policy. If we cannot join

to enthuse the young men Of Kansas next
year1 Of course republicans will favor
protection, but we cannot go out in this
state and make q successful campaign on
that alone. We must favor bi-metallism. By
the continued use of silver gold may 60 to q
premium of a few cents, but by striking
silver down gold would certainly reach and

tinued against US we would in time be with

going out while we are in debt to other ma

subject, but started only to say that think

ERRORS AND MISREPRESENTATION

our present legislation, and il is pity that
the ADVOCATE should inadvertently join it.
In the last column of the sixth page Of June
% is seeming editorial warrant for the state
ment that interest on government bonds
calls for gold. That is error. Both inter
est and principal are payable in coin.
The silver bought under the act Of 1890 is
all the time spoken Of as piling up useless
silver, the implication being that the rem
edy is to stop purchasing il. The true
course is what the law commands, to coin
so much Of it as may be necessary to pro-
vide for the redemption Of the treasury

But even as things 60 under this hostile

E. D. STARK.
The writer of the above is correct
in some of his statements and in 9th
ers he is incorrect. The ADVOCATE
should have said the interest on gov
ernment bonds is paid in gold in
stead Of is payable. There Is an
important distinction here which is
worthy of notice.
In his statement of the practical
operation of the Sherman law he is
not correct. It is true the law pro-
vides for the coinage Of enough silver
dollars to redeem such treasury notes
as may be presented for redemption;
but it Is also true that another section
of the law gives the secretary of the
treasury the option to redeem in gold
or silver; and he has always exer-
cised his discretion to redeem them
in gold. Not single dollar of them
has ever been redeemed in silver. It
is not therefore true that mot dol
lar Of these notes can go into retiracy
except as it is redeemed in a silver
dollar"
The secretary Of the treasury states
that there were $49,971,184 of these
treasury notes issued in 1892; and
that, of this amount, $47,435,173 had
been redeemed at the time he made
the statement in gold. 1t may be
said that the law requires the reisS ne
of thu notes. So it does; but the
process of redemption in gold began
with the beginning of the issue Of the
notes, and has nearly kept pace with
it from that day TO this, as we have
many times demonstrated in the AD-
vocATE. If our correspondent will
investigate the facts, he will find that

Democrats and Republicans Ready for

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.--Though bill

be presented tomorrow in the house, 1t
is not probable that debate on the
measure will begin before Friday. How

ing. the committee on rules will be asked
for an order which shall compel vote.
A good deal of opposition is manifested,
even on the Democratic side, to present
consideration of the proposition to re-
peal the federal election laws. 1t is
claimed it will detract atten-
tion from the senate and in
this way will. by incensing leading
Republicans, endanger the cauee OF re-
peal. The answer of the southern
Democrats to this is brief but to the
point.
They gay they have already sacrificed
their opinions on silver to the position
OF the administration, and cannot go
back to their constituents unless some
thing is done TO effect the legislation so
urgently demanded by their section.
Apart from this there is general desire
on the part of the Democratic leaders to
have some questions brought forward
upon which political lines can
be visibly drawn. They point
out that the Democratic party
ia not q unit upon silver
or state bank tax or income tax, and
that there are differences Of opinion as
to the extent to which tariff revision
should 60. On the question OF the
abolition of federal force at the polls
there ia no division OF sentiment. The
leading Democrats are unsnimous in the
hope that there may be a very lively
political fight on repeal of the election
laws. It has been so long since there
has been genuine political fight in the
house that it will be welcomed not only
by the Democrats but by the
Republicans. The exact programme
which the Republicans will follow
in the opposition to the repeal OF the
federal election laws has not yet been
made known. As q matter OF fact He-
crecy is being observed, not without
purpose, the minority being afraid OF
disclosing their plan OF campaign to the
enemy. All that they will say is to re-
peat their determination to fight until
they can no longer hold out. The de-
bate, as already indicated, promises to
