GOLD AND REVENUE.

The fact that the treasury reserve
beyond the 500, 1000, 600 limit, and is
rapidly climbing, does not at all break
the force of the explanation, which
judicious students Of finance have
given, that the necessity for the sale
of bonds to replenish the gold reserve
was caused by no inherent weakness
in our currency system, but by bad
revenue legislation. Gold went out
of the treasury as soon as Cleveland
went the second time into the White
House, and gold kept going out
through all his stay there, until the
people had chosen his successor, be-
cause the policy on which he was
elected, of having our manufactured
goods made in Europe rather than in
America, involved the sending of gold
to Europe to pay for them; and
shrewd spectators meant to make
sure of having plenty of gold to sell
when the new demand should create
a premium.
The gold put into the treasury by
the sale of bonds did not stay there,
for the reason that the deficiency in
the revenue compelled the govern
ment constantly to pay out for cur
rent expenses the indirect proceeds
of the bond sales in the form of green
backs and Sherman notes deposited
for redemption in gold; and these pa
per dollars became Immediately avail
able for drawing out more gold dollars.
There is stream of gold going into
the treasury now, because the coun
try has become convinced, not only
that the gold standard will be main
tanned, but that the policy of employ
ing European workmen while Ameri-

COLLECTORSHIP OF CUSTOMS.

Vermont has one of the best paying
federal appointments in the gift of the
president. The Office is the collector
ship OF customs for the district of Yer
mont, is worth ST 900 or more year
and there is likely to be an interest
ing fight for it among some of Yer
mont's leading republicans. The most
prominent candidates for the office
are Ex- Gov. Woodbury., Gen. w. L.
Greenleaf and Col. G. G. Benedict of
Burlington, Col. George T. Childs of
ST. Adams, DIN Merrill of Enosburg
Falls, Charles 4. Prouty of Newport,
ex-Lieut. Gov. z. NJ. Mansur of Island
Pond. The contest is likely to narrow
down to Benedict and Mansur. Col.
Benedict was collector under Pres
Harrison's administra ton. His posi-
ton as editor and principal owner of
the Burlington Free Press and his init
mate connections with the Vermont
congressional delegation are points
strongly in his favor. Col. Mansur
has been deputy collector at Island
Pond and a majority of the past legis
ture were favorable to him. Another
point which may be made to work in
favor of Col. Mansur is that out of the
IS men who have held the Office 10
have been taken from the city of Bur-
Cdledonidn.

It is worth while to bear in mind
that President Cleveland and Sec
Olney have had some, not very an
cient and not very insignificant, ex
periences in the matter of asserting
the rights of the United States, in so
far as that assertion relates to the
attitude of people who take it upon
themselves to tell the state depart
ment what it ought and ought not to
do.
There has not been time for
third Of a century when patriotism,
the intelligent-not the irrational
love of peace, and enlightened regard
for the progress of Christian liberty,
demanded the firm intervention of
the state department more urgently
than was the case less than year
ago, when the Monroe doctrine was
treated with contempt by great Eu-
ropean power, and a sister republic of
ours in the New World was imminent
~ threatened with fire and sword for
not yielding to rapacious demands,
though it had repeatedly offered to
abide by impartial arbitration.
Some of the people who now talk
as if they wanted our whole navy sent
at once TO the Dardanelles were then
quick to cry out that our country's
firm insistence that the dispute be
settled by arbitration, and not by
spoliation, was wicked, because it
might ultimately lead to involving us
in war.

the financial question has resolved
itself into three very simple PROPOSE
tions. AT least $50,000,00 addition

in the United States to keepup with
the growth of population and busi-

shall this money consist of, and
where shall it come from? The
only practicable plans are. |. To
borrow from England capitalists,
through their agents on Wall

vantage Of adding to oul already
burdensome foreign debt, and in
crease the drain of money to pay
annual interest charges. 2. To
authorize the national banks to in
crease their note issue and offer
them liberal inducements to that

ATHENA OCTOBER %, 1896

CHAs. HI. DoDD, of Portland,
spoke in Athena Wednesday night.
Mr.. Dodd is the first republican
speaker to visit Athena who had
the nerve and honesty to thrust
the mask aside and declare that
the republican party has no faith
in the restoration OF silver, and
produced figures showing from
gold bug standpoint that the two
metals could not be kept at parity
by any nation on earth. Mr.. Dodd
is class business man. He is one of
those who look at all things with
cold, glinting, selfish business
eve. Mr.. Dodd is of that class Of
business men who look upon legis-
latorsas impliments to create busi-
ness for the few, at the expense
and poverty Of the many; who
would entail misery and want on
the producer and consumer that
the factory owner, the employer
and class business man, might
thrive and grow richer and richer
from the labor and efforts of wage
Garner and consumer. Mr.. Dodd
is of that class of business men
who cater to European snobbery
and educates his children in
Europe. That is Mr.. Dodd's priv
ilege. His business justifes him
in doing it. But you, you who
think yourself lucky and are con-
tent if you can grovel out an ex-
istence and have surplus enough
when winter comes to provide shoes
and books for your children to at
tend the country school, to you
this question is asked: What is
there in common between Mr.. Dodd
and you? We do not mean in a
personal way, but to use his own
term, "a business way" The
answer way down in your heart is
this: Just as far as my toll will
enrich him in his business; that is
all there is in common between me
and the class of business men to
which Mr., Dodd belongs. The
question is rightly answered, for
the class of business men to which
Mr.. Dodd belongs, consist of the
money loaner, the money brokers

itor. II observe in the single gold
standard papers that they are af-
fected with the blues. They have
evidently fallen into the rant and
cant of political speakers regarding
Mr.. Carlisle's prediction, which is
as follows "That the adoption Of
free silver coinage would precipi-
tate panic in this country" Now,
I don't believe a word of it for
lack of evidence) and can almost
vouch for all the political speakers,
that they really do not believe it
themselves. Why, sir! don't they
know that our country is the
grandest in the world. 1t is rich
in minerals of all kinds, and
abounds in producing all verities
of products. That it would take
an international agreement of all
gold standard nations to produce
any greater panic than this coun-
try passed through since 1892.
They talk about Confidence" Just
have a little more confidence gentel-
men is all the country needs. Well,
Mr.. Editor, | think the best way
to accomplish that is to preach the
gospel of better times. l say
preach it whether Mckinley or
Bryan is elected. I would rather
believe in "populistic democratic
metaphors" of good, as part of my
political creed than to preach to
"prepare for the sacrifice" which
only exists in their mind without
any evidence submitted. The fact
is, Mr.. Editor, the only difference
between the two parties on the sill
yer question, is simply the diff
ference as to the consent and non
consent of the "leading CONNER
cial nations of the world" Both
admit that there is something bet
ter, and that something is free sill
yer. There is not q statesman of
any note in the republican party
but has voiced the sentiments of
Mr.. Bryan and his silver party.
The only difference | see is, which
party will champion the peoples
Ihoney-free silver. Both may be
lhonest in thinking what is best,
but Bryan challenges investigation
of his claims, while the others dare
not meet him on the issue. | am
afraid Mr.. Editor that the reason
they fear investigat is lest their
(past speeches in congress for free
silver would expose .heir sudden
conversion) deeds might be reprov-
ed. The republican party is pledg-
ed to international agreement.
The democratic party is pledged to
our own national agreement, with
out the consent of any nation,
Now which is best? / say our own
national agreement; our prosperity
first, then we will be glad indeed if
other nations will cheerfully adopt
it. Say, what do we hear,-harkl
