WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE DONE

They converted a public debt OF
sl,S3S.O59,2S4 originally payable in
lawful money of the United States into
the same amount of public debt paya-
BILE in gold alone This soon created
such a tremendous demand tor gold
and consequent drains on the gold in
the treasury, that gold not only forged
10 a premium, in terms of property,
but finally became so dear as TO render
it impossible for the government TO
get the necessary amount of il in the
regular way ; so that, Notwithstanding
heavy balance OF trade in its favor,
the government was compelled tore
sort to the bond issuing power in time
of peace. THIS involves the immense
loss 10 our people, who have to pay
not only these bonds, but the interest
thereon, through the tribute of taxes.
The net loss OF gold by the govern
ment from March LIST, 1896. (the be-
ginning Of the Harrison administra-
tom to July 22d. 1896. (when New
York gamblers took pity on it from
selfish motives,) was the enormous sum
of 1888, $50. $50, 0Sl, as follows:
Gold in the treasury March lst,
1889, S230,210,7l700. Gold in the
treasury March LIST. 1898, SOB, 2S4,-
2IS9l.
Total loss of gold under Mr.. Harri-
son, 1927 ,026. 29S.09. Gold in the
Treasury March LIST, 1898, SOB, 2S4,-
2lS.7l. Gold bonds issued since that
time, 1862, 900, 10000. Premium on
same, s3l, OOO.0O0.O0.
Total gold held by Mr.. Cleveland,
1896, 2S4,21S91. Gold in the treas.
ury July 22nd. 1896, $50, $50. 1903.
Total loss of gold under Mr..
Cleveland, s306. 5O4,O36.72. Total
net loss March LIST, 1889. To July
22nd, 1896. s433, $50, 1861.
This represents an average loss of
sS6.017 ,06369 in gold.
If this is allowed to continue ten
years or until the first installment OF
bonds issued to maintain the present
standard natures. this will be the
financial condition of the United
States:
Ten years issue at sS6.O17, 063. 60 a
year, $500. 170.636.90. Already Is
sueu, s262,000,OO0.00. What the
peace debt will be in ten years, 81
l22,170,636 80.
But the government must at that
time redeem sl00,000,000 of the
1852, 100000 already issued. II will
therefore lead TO inevitable repudia-
ton or dishonor, since the government
depends on the bond issuing power for
all the gold it gets. These bonds. by
their very terms. demand gold in re-
demption. But this does not take
into account that public debt which
existed prior to the inauguration of
the present system, and that too, must
be met. Ii is payable in lawful
money of the United States or coin by
the contract creating il /; and that con-
tract was made, when both gold and
silver were lawful primary money of
these United States there is, there
fore, no reputation in our meeting
the terms of the contract by remone-
tizing silver and paying the contract
under the same law under which it
was made and with the same kind Of
coin meant in the contract creating
the debt.
But let us see what this debt
amounts 10.
