no PROTECT THE GOLD RESERVE.

The Washington Star discusses the
question of another bond issue from an
essentially new point of view. 1t says
that if the gold reserve should begin
rapidly to go lower the treasury de-
partment will be confronted with the
problem of another bond sale. Natur-
ally it asks what the bonds would
bring OF course no one can say. 1t
wants to know if the figure were low
very much lower than the figure at
which the last lot was disposed Of
what would the full effect on the gov
ernment's credit be? 1t asks whether
or not the sound money men would
point to the decline as the first baleful
result of the free coinage declaration?
If the figure were high-as high as
that governing the last sale-Would
not the silver men point to it as evil
dence that the declaration for free
coinage had frightened nobody? If
the figure were low the sound money
men undoubtedly would charge it as
the result of the free silver declaration;
and if the figure the bonds brought
were about the same as the other
| bonds brought, no doubt the silver men
would point to the fact as evidence
that the declaration for free silver had
had no effect upon the price.
The Star would have no issue of
bonds, but would have the gold re-
serve kept UP to the hundred million
dollar mark After declaring what
of bond issue, it says:
In the minds of those who reason in
this way, the best service that the
sound money Democrats of the east
can render the cause of sound money
in this campaign will be to unite for
the protection of the gold reserve as it
now stands. Let them see to it that
the drain of gold for foreign markets
is stopped 1t has been shown that
this can be done. The Morgan-Belmont
syndicate alone kept the gold figure in
the treasury stationary for months.
Why not repeat this performance? Re-
publicans and Democrats alike should,
it is insisted, unite for this purpose.
Let it be understood that, pending the
settlement of the silver question al the
polls in November, the reserve fund
shall be kept at the hundred million
mark without another bond sale Make
it impossible for men, merely for pri-
vate gain, to take advantage of the
excitement of a national campaign to
manipulate the markets here, or,
through their connections, abroad.
The suggestion is a splendid one, so
splendid as to be termed Utopian. To
suppose that the Morgan-Belmont syn
dictate would undertake, from motives
of patriotism. to protect the gold re-
serve, shows a guilelessness worthy an
Arcadian peasant. That syndicate I'M
dertook to maintain the gold reserve
because of the bond issue, and for no
other reason. If by any possibility
it can force another bond issue from
which it will be able to derive still
greater profits, it will do it. twill I'M
dertake to protect the gold reserve, but
not for its health.

THE SILVER EXCITEMENT.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster

gave his views on number of matters.
but particularly on the tariff question.
Having told how the Wilson-Gorman
bill "paralyzed" the industries of the
country, which is an absurd statement,
he closed his remarks on the subject
with this statement:

is the direct result of the suspension of
business and decentralization of indus

Cleveland himself is largely RESPONSE

WAITING.

Golden summer and glowing wood
And Shining leaves o'erhead,
Mazes of verduTe and blossom
And fair green moss to tread.
Who should be gayer than I?-but no,
l wait and my heart is sore,
Listen and wait for a bird to sing
That sang in the wood before
What though the rich air CULVER,
The waters sparkle along,
What though the cushat is cooling,

Waiting and listening and longing,
Summer is shining in vain,
Waiting and listening and longing
For the song OF that bird again.
But 1 know that if one bright presence
Adown the pathway drew near,
That bird on the instant were singing,
The whole of my world were here.

a five-dollar bill upon it. After the con-

clergyman arose and announced: 'Breth-

The story has gone the rounds of
the press that Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle has stated that he would
vote for Mckinley. This Mr.. Carlisle
has denied. Ex-Secretary of the Treasu-
ry Foster was asked about it, it having
been said that it was to him the state
ment was made. He says: Secretary
Carlisle has denied what he never said.
To my knowledge he never stated that
he should vote for Mckinley under any
condition. Mckinley was not a candi-
date when he made the remark you
refer to. The conversation occurred
nearly year ago while L was visiting
Washington. I called to pay my re-
spects to him and we chatted for
awhile about the silver excitement that
was possessing the country, and par
ticularly the Democratic party, and he
told me that between a Democrat upon
an unsound financial platform and a
Republican upon a sound platform at
the next presidential election he should
support the latter Those are very
nearly his own words, and he has not
denied them and he will not deny
them"

coinage have been, remarks: Then let

Having youth, vigor, hope, unselfish-
ness, courage and the rare gift of oratory,
Bryan stands forth in this campaign a
unique and picturesque figure. The hui
man family is a race of hero worship
ers. Apart from the charm which Bryan
exercises as an individual, he is the rep
resentative of the peoples cause, the val
iamt knight who goes forth to battle with
the mighty powers arrayed against popu-
lar freedom. The hand of providence
seems to have guided the selection of so
fit man for SO great an emergency.-San
