New York, Sept. PA special to tine
World from Washington says: The eesy
assurance and Sonndence Of treasury
olf3cials that there will not be another
bond Issue, and that the treasury gold
reserve will not again be seriously de-
pleted, II explained by a prominent
treasury oillcial. who says that. through
the good ofiices Of the bond syndtcate'
promises have been secured from bank
ers in the principal cities Of the coun'
Try that In case OF necessity they can De
called upon to place $50, ,0O0, 600 Of gold
In the treasury In exchange for legal
tenders.
The reasons which have led to this &C
ton are varied, but all tend to the SAINT
end. On the part Of the administration
1t Is recognized as good politics to avoid
another bond issue, and throw the re
sponsibility aud necessity for remedial
financial legislation upon the incoming
Congress. 1t was determined by tht
President several months ago that thert
would be no bond issue until after the
elections, as an issue previous thereto
would have the effect of Strengthening
the hands Of the fee silver men and the
Populista.
The parties to the present voluntary
combination for the protection Of tht
treasury gold reserve are almost entire
ly within the list of banks that were al
lowed to participate in the distribution
of the last bond issue. 1t will be remem
bered that none of the profits Of the
syndicate have yet been distributed, mol
can they be until the rate Of exchange
has fallen below the gold Importing
point. So It becomes essential to the IN
dividual interests of the members OF the
syndicate to make the treasury situation
sure, in order that they may pocket the
profits. accruing under the enormously
profitable contract Of last February.
