Why Bonds Were Issued.

An argument which the Mckinley
supporters delight to set forth both
in the press and from the platform
is that there would not have been
any necessity for the issuance OF
government bonds by the admins.
1ation if it were not for the fact that
the present tariff law is insufficient
to meet the demands Of the govern
ment for current expenses and does
not bring into the treasury Of the
government sufficient revenue to pay
its running expenses, and this, they
assert, leaves a deficiency which mad
to be provided for by the sale Of
bonds.
Whether this argument is ad-
vanced from ignorance or from a
studied intention to deceive the peo.
pie We do not care to say, but Ger.
tain it is that such statements will
not bear the light Of intelligent inves-
tigation.
The Washington correspondent Of
the St. Louis Republic has taken the
pains to investigate at the treasury
department what the real facts are
in the case at hand and he reports to
his paper that an examination ofthe
official figures clearly disproves such
argument and establishes the follow.
ing facts:
On July 20, 1895, the treasury held
a net balance OF $3.50, III, 1892. or this
amount sl06, 1868, III was gold. On the
same day Of the current year the net
balance was 1851, 1861 ,054, of which
1913, 73l, 76l was gold. Thus while
there has been a loss In gold Of about
sl3, 900, 900, there has been a net gain
in the aggregate cash Of nearly s72,'
900, 900, so that as a matter Of fact the
the treasury is stronger by 81, 1000, O0t
than IL was one year ago. The an
nexed table shows In detail the
amount and form Of money held BY
the treasury on July 20, 1895 and 1885,
respectively:
