Parkhurst, secretary, l desire to state
some facts. 1t is we'll known that the
Model Supply store were demoralizers of
prices, and that houses selling goods to

has been freely circulated by certain
statesmen and further claims were made
that P. D. NJ. Go. were not selling him
goods. Fifteen hundred dollars of the
$4,000 claim of w. H. Davis. was for
goods sold on open account and was as
sumed by W. II. Davis and included

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-A fat denial
is given at the war department today to
the report from Florida that the de-

the state to put the Florida
troops in readiness to take

In the first place it is said the president
has no constitutional or lawful authority
to make such a request in the next place
there is no emergency;that would justify

TWO CENTS.

the majority of the members of the Kan
sas delegation on the bond bill pleased
Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford. He
has written long letter of congratula-
tions to Congressman Kirkpatrick, por-
tions of which are as follows:
81 desire to congratulate you on ac-
count of your action in the house on the
bond proposition, and also on account of
your frank, manly reply to that remark
able circular recently sent out by certain
New York brokers'
How an honest, patriotic member Of
congress could cast his vote authoriz ing
the secretary of the treasury to sell bonds
and borrow money in time of peace.
while the treasury is burdened with a
surplus. is beyond apprehension. In
addition to other moneys, there are, ac-
cording to reports, about $69,0 600 Of
gold and $4,000 900 of shver bullion
lying idle in the vaults. Why
withhold this gold from circulation, and
the silver bullion from coinage and circu-
lation.
"Of course the gold is part of the
reserve, provided for by the resumption
law of 1875, and held for the redemp-
tion of $346. 100000 of other legal tender
money. But who, may 1 ask, when
he receives $3.46 of this legal
whether there is a gold dollar or piece
of gold worth 60 cents las nowl held by
the government for its redemption
The bulk of the lawful money of the
United States has been diverted from its
legitimate channels and placed, by our
financial policy, within the control of
those who are using it for speculative
purposes.
"The greenbacks, $346 OOO. 900 that once
hoated as money, are practically out OF
circulation, They are boarded in vaults
to be used in raids on the gold reserve.
The gold reserve in turn is boarded in
the treasury to be raided with green
backs. Silver, the money of the consti-
tuition, has been discredited by the gov
ernment and pushed aside as unsouud
for coinage.
$50, as a matter of fact, we now have
as circulating medium, discredited sill
yer, silver certificates, national bank
notes, which are not a legal tender-a
few treasury notes and some nickle and
copper coins, with which to carry on the
business of this great country.
"Now, in view of the fact that the Re-
publican party has the reins of govern
ment within easy reach, would it not be
advisable for the trusted representatives
to turn about and adopt an honest finan-
cial policy that will bear with even
handed justice upon all classes, inter-
ests and industries?
''At the last election the people fed for
refuge to the Republican camp and now
look to Republican congress for relief.

pointed"
