money men he could get a gold bond
issue TO strengthen the decreasing gold
reserve.
Congress refused to give him the bond
issue, but CARLISLE is doing his level
best to carry out part of the trade. AL
most Immediately following the Presi-
dents veto of the bill, which was de-
signed TO coin vacuum, he began his
work and gave orders TO have the bull
lion in the treasury coined as rapidly as
possible.
Temporarily ii was checked and then
Mr.. CARLISLE began again and for sew
eral months past the mints have been
at work grinding out dollars calling for
one hundred cents worth of gold that are
really worth less than half that
amount.
The ''seigniorage" amounts to s55,-
100000 and Mr.. Carlisle proposes TO
avail himself of this at all hazards. He
must have it, as his gold reserve does
not show any decided increase, and the
new revenue raising bill is sure to
produce only Il heavy deficit in the next
four months.
But by availing himself of this ficti-
tious value he is merely adding to the
burdens OF the people. Every dollar that
he coins calls for 100 cents in gold. yet it
costs, say, 80 cents in gold. The differ
ence is the seigniorage or profit
TO the Government, but the Government
has got to pay for it in the end. as the
profit Is merely fictitious, and as the Gov
ernment has already paid more gold for
the uncoined silver than it is worth.
every dollar now coined simply adds
five cents more to the loss of the Gov |
ernment.
Yet Mr.. CLEVELAND does not interfere.
lie shows not the slightest indication
that he has given to the matter even a
moments thought. He is serenely cut
ting his bait and throwing over his
lines in Buzzards Bay, as free from
care as school boy, while his chief of

actly what Mr.. Cleveland forbade him
TO do by coming dishonest aud unneces-

The New York Republican convention
yesterday nominated ex-vice Presiden
