COULD NOT STOP BOND ISSUES.
Unpleasant Conditions That Confront
Mckinley on the Gold Platform.

Unpleasant Conditions That Confront
Mckinley on the Gold Platform.
What, in the event of his election,
would Mckinley do to prevent further
bond issues? This is the question that
thoughtful persons, even on the gold
side, are asking of themselves to-day,
and they get no answer. The reason
is simple. There is no answer.
There is no reason to-day why any
obligation of the government should
be paid in gold except the gold certi-
ficates issued in pursuance of the de-
post of gold with the Treasury. There
is no reason in the law for the payment
Of gold to the exclusion of silver, save
only the ruling of a Secretary of the
Treasury So long as that ruling
stands-and Mai. Mckinley and his
party are running upon platform
which says that that ruling shall stand
in some form or otheF-there is moth
ing that will prevent the continuance
of the redemption of the obligations
of the United States in gold and the
draining of the Treasury's stock of
that metal. Then there will have to
be more bond issues to replenish the
Treasury reserve, to satisfy the demand
for reserve. Under conditions of the
nse of gold and silver, as established
by the Treasury department, neither
Maj Mckinley nor any other man can
prevent the necessity of issuing more
bonds to get more gold, which, in its
turn, viii disappear and leave a void
to be filled by a new bond issue.
The only hope that such conditions
will disappear is offered in the promise
of Mr.. Bryan's election, the appoint
ment of a Secretary of the Treasury
who will reverse the unlawful ruling,
and the payment of silver on equal
terms with gold in settlement of the
obligations of the government. Mr..
Mckinley, if he shall become Presi-
dent, cannot permit such a course to
be taken without grievous bad faith
toward those who viii have put him
into office. Mr.. Bryan can take no
other course than to appoint a Score |
tary who will make such ruling.
What this country needs, and what
it must have, in order to avoid the
bond issues, is a Secretary of the
Treasury who viii execute the laws. |
who viii tell the people who want
gold to the exclusion of silver that
they can have pie when it is time for
pie, but they must take corned beef
when it is time for c0rned beef. A
who viii interpret the laws
is the kind of officer that Mr.. Mckinley /
cannot appoint, and remain Faithful /
to the implied pledges made in those /
who are supporting him.-Grand I
Rapids Democrat.
