hereafter be accusing republicans
and democrats of entertaining the
same financial views.
Il will be observed that both Of
these resolutions provide for the
payment Of all government bonds in
gold in case we fail to maintain the
parity of the two metals, which, of
course, we will. In this connection
let it not be forgotten that the old
bonds issued during and immedi-
stely after the war, ainto which the
existing bonds excepting the 100
millions issued by the present ad-
ministrstion) were funded, were
originally purchased with green
backs, and cost the purchasers an av.
ersge Of about 60 cents on the dollar.
What a great thing it is to be a finsn.

LET Us HAVE THE Law.

The Kansas City Times of Febru-
sry 20, answering some questions of
Topeka correspondent, reiterates a
statement that appeared in its edito-
rial columns only few days before
to which we have referred in another
place. The statement relates to the
late issue of bonds and is as follows:
The cause Of the issue was the Imminent
danger Of the exhaustion of the gold re-
serve in the treasury, which under the law
must be maintained in ample force to re-
deem the treasury notes, including green
backs, outstanding.
We deny that there is any law IN
existence, or ever has been, requiring
such q reserve to be maintained.
Will the Times quote the law and
tell Us wdere it may be found?
The advocate., 1895-02-27

bullion under the so-called Sherman
law Of 1890. These are the only
notes that the law provides shall be
reissued when redeemed, and they
are redeemsble IN coin. If the sec-
retary Of the treasury would exercise
the discretion which the law gives
him and pay these notes when pre-
sented for redemption in silver as he
has a legal right to do, the raid of
the pirates would soon cease. The
refusal to do this makes the admin
istration party to the financial con-
gpiracy to rOb the people and impose
upon future generations an increased
burden of interest bearing debt. It
is an act of treason which should re-
ceiVe the reOVGrd of treason, and
would do so if members of congress
as well as Of the administration were
not alike traitors,
(3) The law requires that treasury
notes, when redeemed, shall not be
destroyed, but shall be reissued; but
it does not require that they shall be
reissued "ss soon as redeemed"
There is no law prescribing 1Uben
they shall be reissued, and the great
haste manifested in restoring them
to the bankers who employ them for
purposes of public plumber shows
that the administration is more than
willing to aid the robbery in all pos
sible ways.
(4 1t IS not necessary under the
latU to maintain a gold reserve for
the redemption" Of treasury notes.
There is no law on earth, except the
law of the conspirstors, that requires
the maintenance of such a reserve.
The 100.milllon-dollar reserve was
established arbitrarily, and not by
law, under old John Shermsn's ad-
ministrstion of the treasury depart
ment, and all subsequent administra-
tions have simply kept up the hum
bug which he established. These
are the facts, and the Times must
know them to be facts if it knows
anything about the matter. Is it's
answer to the question 1t chooses to
denominste as ''idiotic" simply man
Hesitation of stupidity and ignorance,
or is there another reason for the
publication of such stuff?
The advocate., 1895-02-27
A STUPID ANSWER.

Ah0 AunSoo OAOy 4ALAoS Va \ 0O4u u
sry 13, under the caption of "a stupid
question answered" says:
A very stupid contemporary asks ''if
there is a comfortable surplus in sight what
does the administration want to borrow
500 million dollars for, anyway" This is
intended 10 be funny, but It's really idiOtio.
II the author Of che question had enough
brains TO grease a gimlet he would have
known that the purpose Of borrowing that
money on loW-rate, longtime bonds, was
distinctly stated in the presidents mes
sage.
The Times then proceeds to ex-
plain as follows:
There are 500 million dollars Of treasury
notes outstanding redeemable on demand
in gold, which the law Directs TO be Peissued
az soon and as often as redeemed. So long
as those notes remain in circulation it is
necessary, under the law, TO maintain a
gold reserve for their redemption.
We do not know who asked the
question which the Times is pleased
to say "ls intended to be funny, but
is really idiotiC," nor will We under
take to decide whether its answer is
intended to be funny or profound;
but if the Times had enough brains
to grease a gimlet and enough hon
esty to tell the truth occasionally, it
would know that every word Of it's
pretended answer to the question
which is deemed so "idiotic," is
utterly false. It would be difficult,
in fact, to condense more fslsehood
in the same number of words than iS
Included in the brief statement above
quoted. The facts respecting the
treasury notes and other forms Of
government obligations may be briefly
summed up as follows:
Q) There is a small amount Of
gold certificates issued upon the de.
posit of gold in the treasury, which
deposit the law requires shall be
held specifically for the redemption
of the certificates. This is not in
cluded in the gold reserve of 100
million dollars about which there is
SO much trouble just now, nor are
these gold certificates the treasury
notes that are being used to deplete
the treasury of its gold. The law
does not require the reissue Of these
certificates when they are redeemed.
~ Aside from the gold certi6-
Gates above referred to, there is not a
solitary government obligation ofany
kind that is redeemsble by law in
gold, and there never has been. The
treasury notes that are being en-
ployed to deplete the treasury Of it's
gold are the greenbacks and the
notes issued tor Che purchase Of silver

Ceeding In the whole amount the par value
Of the bonds deposited; Provided, That st
no time shall the total amount Of such
notes issued TO any such association ex-
Oeed Che amount at such time actually paid
in Of its capital stoOk."
Amend the title so 40 TO read:
"a bill to provide for maintaining the
redemption Of United States notes, and for
a temporary deficiency Of revenue"
Now, as this Is Tom Reeds plan,
and as he is the recognized repuOli-
can leader in the house and a prom
inent republican candidate for pres
ident in 1896, and as Mr.. Sherman,
the recognized republican leader Of
the senate, fathers the measure in
that body, it is fair to presume that
it represents the latest improved re-
publican idea. How do the two diff
fer? Really in this: MIR. Sherman's
and Mr.. Reeds plan gives greater
authority and more latitude to the
secretary in the issue of gold bonds;
it authorizes the issue of interest
bearing certificates Of Indebtedness
to meet current expenses; it further
authorizes the comptroller of the
currency to issue to national banks,
upon deposit Of government bonds
or the certificates of indebtedness it
provides for, in the treasury, circu-
lating notes in different denomins'
tions, in blank, not equal to 80 per
cent. of such securities as now pro-
vidsd by law, but the full amount Of
their par value.
The difference between the demo-
cratic and the republican idea upon
the subject of gold payments, of BIZ
metallism and of parity" further sp-
pears in resolutions considered in the
senate on the 10th inst. The follow.
ing democratic doctrine was sub
mitted by that good democrat, Sena-
tor Hill, on the 18th and came up on
the 10Th for discussion:
Resolved, III the house of representatives con-
curs), That ID is the sense of congress that
the true policy Of the government requires
that Ice efforts should be steadily directed
10 the establishment of a safe system of bi =
metallism, wherein gold and silver may be
maintained at a parity, and every dollar
coined may bs equal in value and power Of
every other dollar coined or issued by the
United States; but il our efforts to ests b.
lish or maintain suoh bimetsllism shall not
be wholly successful, and il for any reason
our silver coin shall not hereafter be at par
iGy with gold coin aud the equal thereof in
value and power in the market and in the
payment of debts, then il is hereby de-
olared that the bonds Of the s.United State 6
now or hereafter issued which by their
terms are payable in coin, shall neVerthe-
less be paid in standard gold dollars, il
being the policy of the United States that
ts creditors shall at all times be paid in
the best money in use.
John Sherman offered the follow
ing as q substitute for the foregoing
resolution, and this is the republican
idea upon the subject:
ResOlued (the lolOer house Of representative,
cOncvrtng), That il is the established
policy Of the United States TO maintain
gold and SILVER coins at a parity according
