llNNEcEssARN ALARM.

The Secretary Of the Treasury has de-
cllned TO exchange currency in New York
for gold in Chicago. That would involve
a premium on gold. The transportation
from Chicago to any other point Of de.
posit would be greater premium on
gold than gold is worth to the United
States Treasury Notwithstanding its
depleted condition.
That Is a proper decision. The Treas
ury is not in any straits for gold, 1t is
true that the gold balance Is steadily
declining but there is no alarm about IL,
hence there is no occasion for the Score.
tAry Of the Treasury to pay a premium
on sn alarm.
Il is wise also, for this administration
to determine not TO issue bonds Ito
replenish gold coin in the Treasury. It
is not the duty Of the administration, It
is certainly not the duty Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury to provide money for the
payment Of the appropriations Of Con-
gress. The Secretary Of the Treasury is.
In a certain sense, the cashier Of the
government. he receives the deposits
and pays the acquisitions ordered by
Congress. He has discretionary powers
which are specifically defined

The various contentious about the negro.
and the pleas for the projection robbery
are to be abandoned. They are aban.
doned already in practice
The great Republican party. which
once ruled, then robbed this country, is
no longer a great party. But for it's
numerical strength, which is 6uctuating
and failing. It is no better than the
Populist party. It's principles are gone,
its practices are dishonest, its platform is
foolish.
The clause about pensions Is worse
than buncombe; 1t is worse than folly
It is dishonest demagoRy that is scarcely
one remove from dangerous socialism.
OF the million or more pensions this
people pay there are easily two.thirds
which are not deserved, and one half Of
them, or more, have been procured by
fraud. The pension list is an outrage upon
patient people,a dlshonor TO the soldier
patriots.
The Democratic administration is try.
ing to make honest pension payments
these blatant Kansan politicians, in har
mony with the politicians Of the same
class throughout the country. are at.
tempting o make the people believe that
three hundred thousand Confederates
scared and wounded million full grown
men who enlisted In the Union armies
into poverty, into cripples, into general
debility OF into deliberate lying.
What predicament for great party
Twenty years ago Grant, the soldier
and the honest man, vetoed pension
bill which was not as bad as the law
under which deserters and bounty
jumpers are drawing pensions Now his
party refers to a deliberate betrayal
that would have included him in It's
demagogio condemnation.
The clause about silver is not SO dan
gerous. It is almost innocently dema
gogic It is a sop I 0 silly silverites 1t
pretends love for the white metal
which the masa Of the party does not
cherish. 1t is intended to catch the
votes Of those who believe the price OF
wheat can be increased by "fating'
silver money and legislating for the pro
lection Of silver bullion.
The politicians are not sincere in the
silver clause Quay started that they
are dlshonest in the pension clause; the
pension sharks ohaperon that.
The people are not with them IL
either. The people have $500, 600. OOl
Of tho blmetallism TO which the platform
refers; they know, from what every mar
Of them sees about his own home, thar
the average pensloner is a fraud. NAM
Of the agents are scOundels and the pen
sion list is a betrayal Of the people by tn
politicians.

came around again, smashed down a
