Perhaps the most important subject
before the public for consideration at
this time is the Presidents financial
plan and 1t will receive very careful
consideration. As an esteemed contsm
porary says nMr Cleveland has here
tofore been 80 sound In his financial
views and so courageous in maintaining
them against the EXTREMIST pressure
from the silverlte section Of his party,
that any monetary plan advanced by
him comes before public prepossessed
in It's favor and certain that 1t was
framed with sincere desire to effect an
improvement Of the currency"
Those who object to the Presidents
views think bis plan opens the door for
too much expansion, but II this can be
accomplished with safety We do not see
where the objection lies The method
win give us larger Issues Of bank notes
and restoration Of the power to issue
notes By state banks.
An eminent financial authority thinkl
that, 'while country does business Oh
gold values It cannot by any possibility
keep In circulation a larger amount o.
money than is required for that purpose
Tied by the gold standard TO th
currency systems Of other nations, 1t Is
bound to have It's dns share Of gold
valued money, and 1t cannot have an,
more. When you fling into saturste
currency system fresh sheavss OF pape
money, the system seeks relief from th
over-aupply By sending gold away, I
fnd room for the unexportsble paper
strips itself Of exportable money. Thu
the foundation OF it's currency systei
dwindles. while the superstructui
grows apacs. II the expansion be keE
up there will surely come time wis
business men will take alarm wit
regard to the maintenance Of go
values and their alarm, If accented
continuous imitation, assure to result
q currency panic. This Is precise
what happened under the imitation
treasury notes produced by the shermi
silver act, and an equal imitation BY bar
notes would have had the same feet. =
This view Of the matter seems to ha
been considered by Mr. Cleveland, for
proposes that the national banks aud I
state banks shall deposit with the 81
ernment as q guarantee fund a sum eq'
In amount to 80 per cent. Of their c
culation. This would, on the face. app

Can you explain how, in a time of pro-

navy to support with a still more insignif-
icant interest tribute, without a dollar of

and annual revenues exceeding $500 600.

taxation must be increased by an interest
bearing loan of 5000, 900, 600 in order to meet
the criminal waste of money that has OBJ
tanned during the past quarter of a century
in every department of the governnent ?
The revenues of the government have been
large enough and the people sufficiently
but the pubic treasury has been
plundered openly and continually. The
and government is the result OF false
theories and vicious legislation enacted
into law many years since. This universal
distress is not the creation of a moment;
it is not the sequence of the immediate
however mucn recent legislation may have
FASTENED its coming 1t is the natural and
logical outcome of well-laid and carefully
executed plans by the money-owners Of
this and other nations. 1t is the result
of a conspiracy and trial of strength be-
tween the masses, and the clash is now on
In this great struggle gold stands against
manhood and prejudice-is more clamorous
than starving children. In this contest
men must not stand in the way of a re-
turn TO the great principles of justice or
human idols withdraw their attention from
the onward march of patriotism. The in
dividual is nothing, but the principles
of American freedom, human rights and
civil liberty and independence from foreign
dictation must be maintained"
