of trade when needed. We have wit
messed for years the ebb and flow O
gold to and from this country without
alarm, but recently it became the in.
terest Of the advocates Of the single
gold standard to make it appear that
the shipment Of gold in 1898 was the
beginning Of that deluge Of silver which
was to cover this land as the waters
cover the sea.
We have experienced many panics
and periods Of commercial depression
in the last century, but this is the first
whose cause and consequence has been
even sought to be laid upon silver.
We are now Witnessing the falsity Of

cry that all is lost into policy which
may impoyerish the many in the in
terest Of the few.
But, Mr.. President, the country is
already weathering the storm raised by
false representation that the Sherman
act had produced the financial crisis.
Country banks, forced by the policy of
metropolitan banks to succumb tenn
porarily to the scarcity Of currency
artifcially produced at great money
centers, are resuming business all over
the country with the coming and go
ing of each day. The heretofore un-
heard of premium on currency has
ceased. In fact the paralyzing shock has
passed.
The false pretense that the Sherman
act had caused the panic has been seen
through, and the plot, however well
laid, the scheme, however we'll devised,
has failed, and business is re
viving. The vast resources of our
country reassure our people, and con-
fidence is returning, and all the agen-
cies of business and trade are resuming
their normal functions, The people
see gold that was shipped abroad in
the progress of the plot, and not in
the course of legitimate trade, return
ing through proper channels and seek
ing again the Federal Treasury-thus
gradually restoring confidence and re-
lieving the endorsements of business.
All this has furnished the thoughtful
and conservative people of this corln-
try with more than one object lesson.
They now see the danger of the mon
ey power as never seen and felt before,
whether in England or America, or in
both combined, working through ma
chinery organized under and sanction
ed by national law. They see how
easily this money power can be
brought in sympathetic touch and
how quickly responsive it is for politi-
cal purposes. This is exciting grave
apprehensions in the thinking patrio-
tic minds of the land. Amid these
stirring scenes this struggle between
the money power and the people
brings before us an admonition of An

A CHARACTERISTIC DECEPTION.

A correspondent in WorthinRton. Ind,
sends the Journal tho following extract
from the Democratic Linton Weekly
Call:
There were more than 81. 900 pensioners
dropped from the lists from other causes
than death during the administration of
President Harrison. and yet we find no
criticism of the Republican commissioners
In the Republican papers. This shows the
ny pocrisy of the average Republican editor.
The correspondent asks the journal
TO give a statement of the facts. evil
IDENTITY not believing the Democratic
paper. In reply the Journal will say
that the official fi.ures of the two last
years work of tn Pension Bureau show
On page So of the report of the Pension
Bureau for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1891, the number of pensioners
dropped from the rolls for v~arions
causes is given as follows: BY
death, 1920; by remarriage, LAP;
by minors reaching the age of sixteen
years. 1.436; by failure to claim pensions.
1872; for other causes, 2.446; total, co.
525. During the fiscal year ending June
80. 1892, the number dropped from tho
rolls were: By death. 17.711; by remar-
riaga, 1858; by minors arriving at the
q of sixteen years, 2.101; from other
causes, 1915; total, 25,306. OF the 2,446
dropped for other causes In 1891, 500
were suspended on evidence of fraud,
and in 1892, 900 for the same reason. 1t
will be seen from the shove figures that
during the two years 1891 names were
dropped from other causes than death.
and that il lie probable that $1,000 names
were dropped in four years tor causes
other than death; but the other causes
were remarriage and the minors nassing

In the office of Chandler n Taylor. For
the past year he has suffered intensely
from a chronic ailment cansed by q wound

treated when his death occurred. Mr..
Williams enlisted as q private soldier at
the opening of the war and left his home
ct Erie, Pa. to serve the Union. He leaves

DIFFERENCES of opinion between the
soldiers monument commissioners and
the public have arisen from time to
time, but no sensible person should
doubt the wisdom of their determines
ton to carry out at once the designers
plan so far as the building of the f0un-
tains ia concerned. The side groups
and the fountains are essential to the
symmetry of the structure, and until they
are completed it's base will have an ILL
prOporti0ned look. The necessary stOne-
work for these fountains should have
been put in at the same time with the
other. The leaving of the rough-finished
sides and the too narrow base for
an indefinite time is a great mistake. 1t
will be three or four years, at the earli-
est, before the groups of WAR" and
peace" will be erected, and the pres.
[ ent unsy condition should not
be allowed to remain for that time to
offend the artistic eyes of those not
familiar with tho original design. As
for the single statues, they are of minor
consideration. 1t will not matter if
they are never put in place. They are
not essential in any way to the spirit, or
purpose, or beauty of the monument.
But there is no good reason why the
fountains should not be bailt at once.
