Not Revenue, but Gold That the President
Wanted.
President Cleveland In his special
message to Congress January %, 1895,
asking for authority to sell bonds to
take up the greenbacks and treasury
notes, said there was revenue enough
in the treasury, but what was needed
was gold. Here are his exact words,
found at the bottom of page of the
printed message:
twin hardly do to say that simple In
crease Of revenue will cure our troubles. The
apprehension now existing and constantly
increasing as to our financial ability does not
rest upon calculation Of our revenue. The
time has passed when the eyes Of investors
abroad and our people St home were fixed
upon the revenues OF the government
Changed coalitions have attracted their at-
tention to the gold Of the government. There
need be no fear that we cannot pay our cur.
rent expenses with such money ss we have.
There Is now In the treasury q comfortable

Free coinage means that when
person takes bullion to the mint IL will
be coined for him free Of charge. He
takes the coin when It is ready, and
he, not the government, puts It in cir
culation. He wants 1t to circulate and
for no other purpose. It is Of no use
to him unless 1t does circulate. His
frat effort after getting the coin into
his possession Is to find some profitable
way Of getting rid of 1t. He immedi.
stely puts 1t where It will begin to per.
form It's lawful functions as money.
Hence, free coinage Of silver would at

Preparation to Issue Bonds Under the Har-

began the preparation OF plates:

purpose, authorized by the resumption

"At this juncture the Senate passed an
act authorizing per cent. bond. This
bond, il authorized, was a preferable one
to those authorized. The incoming Sec
retary had approved this act. then be-
lieved it would pass the House, and in
this emergency l authorized the prepara-

The act failing to pass the House, this
order was on the 4th Of March revoked.
Work had been commenced on the plates,
but not completed.
II repeat that tn only reason l had
for the issuance OF bonds was to pre-
serve the gold reserve. We had sbun-

There would have been no necessity to
issue bonds for maintenance OF gov.
ernment expenses if Harrison had been
elected. 1t was the change proposed by
the Democratic party to reduce duties
to a revenue standard, coupled with
their delay and imbecility, that caused
the large loss of revenue. We left

(2) That the parity between the two metals

been so far maintained by receiving silver
dollars and silver certificates In payment Of
all dues and demands to the government, and
by paying to che holders OF the direct obligs-

are in session in this city. poll was
taken during the day as to their political
opinions. They all pronounced themselves
in favor Of Mckinley and sound money, and
expressed a desire to see him elected.
Bishop Vincent said:
"Of course you know I am for Mckinley
and gold, and hope they will win, but the
result cannot we'll be foretold because Of
the quiet voting that will be done on both
Sides This makes 1T very difficult and
delicate task to proclaim in advance which
candidate will be chosen. but hope it is
Mckinley"
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss and Bishop John F.
Hurst laughed and said: You know how
we all stand; all for Mckinley"
The venerable Bishop Edward G.. An
drews also declared emphatically for Nc
Kinley and said he hoped he would be
elected. Bishop Bowman is inclined to
think that Missouri, his home state, will
fall In line for Mckinley, and says that
hundreds Of democrats in St. Louis have
espoused the sound-money cause and will
be heard from at the election. Bishop Nc
Cabe thinks Mckinley will carry Nebraska.
He deplores the intolerant spirit being ex-
hibited in many states by the silver party.
