THE TREAsURYsDEFIeiT.
The government, II Is said, Is
confronted by q heavy deficiency
in revenue. This comes six
months after the transfer Of the
administration to the Democrats,
and it is due to q cardinal mis-
take OF the administration. This
fact cannot be denied orr CLOSED
over. When the Republicans re;
tired from Office they left q per-
fectly solvent Treasury. The
estimates for the ensuing fiscal
year had been submitted to q
Democratic House Of Representa-
tives, and the appropriations
made in accordance with them.
II was conceded, SO far as could
be forseen thatthe receipts would
be sufficient to meet the appro-
priat,ons, with a small surplus

lsigns Of financial distrust became
apparent, the administration was
advised to sell bonds; rift was

power.
The advice was frankly given
by the soundest financiers and
financial bodies in the country.
1t was not partisan advice, but
the matured conviction Of those
who were in the best position to
know what was the proper step
to take, and twas the result Of
the mostpatriotic impulses. Had
it been promptly acted on, the
panic would have been staid in
its incipiency. The public would
have been given assurance Of the
intention Of the government to
maintain the stability Of the ma
tional currency. no matter what
might be the cost. Instead,
however, the administered pro-

panic, and within weight

that gave him considerable
prominence. "Mr. Faulkner's
amendment provides a declare.

made bold and fearless speech
in support of his proposition.
