Essentially she is a sensible, matter of

Not long ago natatorium was estab-

did not flourish at first. but Mrs. Bryan

for the city, and by inducing her friends
to become interested in it she has made

General Harrison on Our
Financaa- .

EX'President Harrison will discuss
our national finances in an article on
1.-THE Secretary of the Treasury"
which will appear in the August issue
of The LadieS' Home journal. lie will
tell briefly of the origin of our financial
system; its expansion or development;
how the nation raises its revenues, and
disburses its moneys; and detail the
faults of our system of inanciering.
Referring to the methods necessary to
maintain our gold reserve General IIar-
rison expresses himself with evident
disappToval, and says that "the present
situation would he absurd if it were
not so serious" The increase or the
diminutiou of the gold reserve, the ex
President asserts, powerfully affects
every interest, and the amending of
existing conditions will be u task for
the wisest and strongest statesman
ship"
The eX-Iresident clearly intimates
that successful Iiuanciering is extreme
ly difficult by the present methods Up
on this point he says: "If lfty dollars
would suffice to hold $50, 0O0, 900 in The
Treasury the Secretary could not ex.
pend that small sum, He must stand
by until the gold is gone, aud then sell
bonds to get it back. The result is
that the banks and the brokers are oft.

transacts its business in public is at a

The nomination of Bryan and Sewall
on a free silver and populistic platform
has split the Democratic party of the
nation worse than any time since 1860.
