POINTS AND OPINIONS.

The Endorsements which the pres
ident is receiving from all over the
country in respect to his financial prop
osition afford gratifying evidence that
the people are all right upon the ques-
ton. What is needed, however, is ac-
ton on the part of congress-; and this
seems to be as far off as ever.-Detroit
Free Press.
During President Harrison's ad-
ministration eighty-two million dollars,
being all but eight million dol
lars of the gold surplus above the re-
serve. disappeared from the treasury
That was the first stage of the panic
1t was republican in its origin; the re-
suit of republican quach legislation on
the coinage and the riff.-Chicago
Herald.
Looking at the matter from a
strictly partisan standpoint, as most of
the republicans in congress have in
sisted on looking at it, it would be bet
ter for the republicans that the present
congress should take some definite ac-
ton on the financial question than that
it should be left entirely to the next
congress. The republicans are about
as badly Spit up on monetary matters
as the democrats are.-Louisyille
Courier-J ournal.
The other day the French govern
ment condemned and Inundated a
traitor, and all civiliza lion pronounced
benedictions on the act. But Capt.
Dreyfus neither designed nor performed
the harm to the French government
and people which the republican SEN

trated on the people of this country In
putting themselves in the way OF relief
from the damaging influences OF their
own unwise legislation. Benedict Ar
mold was a patriot compared with the
conspirators who delayed the restora-
ton of prosperity, while millions OF
people were suffering from hunger in
this land of plenty.-Kansas City Times.

THE DEFICIENCY IN REVENUE.
Republican misrepresentation ReSardinl
the Gold Outflow.

Republican Misrepresentation Regarding
the Gold Outflow.
The republicans have been persist
emily asserting that deficiency of
revenue is the only trouble with the
treasury; that the reason Secretary
Carlisle cannot retain gold is that he
is obliged to pay it out to meet current
expenses When Mr.. Wilson said in
the house the other day that the treas
ury was not on the verge of bank
ruptcy but tending toward a surplus.
he was met with a storm of republican
jeers.
No doubt, there are republican con-
gressmen SO ignorant as not to know
that Mr.. Wilson was telling the truth.
But there are many others who under
stand the real situation who are un-
willing for the people to understand
it. Now, it happens that the real situ-
alton is such as to be easily misrepre-
sentsd.
It is true that the monthly expendi-
lures have lately been larger than the
revenue receipts. For July, August
and September the two were nearly
equal. In October, November and De-
cember the expenditures were much
larger than the receipts for revenue.
During January the receipts greatly
increased, but, as it is not yet out, the
exact figures cannot be given. much
larger increase of revenue is expected
during. the remaining months OF the
fiscal year. At all events, the present
condition is well understood to be
temporary, as the stocks OF sugar and
whisky on hand at the passage OF the
tariff bill cannot last always, and
when they are exhausted two large
sources of revenue will again be open.
Besides, there is the income tax, which
has not yet yielded dollar.
While all this is true, the treasury
has had recently cash balance be-
sides the gold reserve. quite sufficient
for the present, even if the expected in
crease in the revenues should not be
realized The recent gold drafts have.
doubtless, added to this. There is,
therefore. no occasion to use the gold
reserve Tor the paymen: OF current eS-
penses.
The gold reserve has gone out for
two purposes: To furnish gold for ex-
port, and to increase the gold holdings
of the New York banks This gold is
not, however, given away. The gov
eminent gets currency for it, and as the
reserve decreases the cash balance. less
the reserve. increases. For this reason
Mr.. Wilson is right when he says the
treasury Is tending toward q surplus.
1t is the lack Of gold TO redeem its notes
that is the sole cause of the treasury
embarrassment. Louisville Courier

WASHINGTON. Feb. misrepresentation
Wilson, of West Virginia, the chairman
of the ways and means committee, to
whom the presidents bond message
was referred. will call the committee
together at 10 a. m. Saturday to con-
slider the recommendation of the presi-
dent regarding the issue of gold bond,
which he says can be fioated at per
cent. if authority be given him to issue
such class of bond within the next
ten days.
Mr.. Springer. of Illinois, expressed
his edifcation with the message.
Mr.. Cox, of Tennessee, who is free
silver man and pronounced advocate
of state bank system. opposes the
presidents recommendation, and in
this opposition presumably reflects
the sentiment of the silver men
generally, although Mr.. Hall, of
Missouri, who is also favorable
to the free coinage of silver,
admitted that bill reported from the
ways and means committee, embody-
ing a recommendation of the president.
even in the matter of paying bonds in
gold, would carry a certain prestige
which an independent measure would
not enjoy. He would not, however,
express an opinion as to the degree OF
success such a measure would meet il
