The attention of the old soldiers who
left the republican party and joined the
Bryan ranks during the last campaign,
is especially called to the significant
fact, that the army of old veterans who
were retired from government positions
by the democratic administration are
now being rapidly reinstated in their
old positions by the party they SO
rashly deserted, which has always been
tho most faithful guardian of their
interests, and will 80 remain to the end

The Washington Star, which has no
particular political affiliations. and
which is in position to render un-
biased judgment, remarks that one
feature of the present distribution of
official patronage is the absence Of all
complaints of bad faith or repudiatod
pledges. This is certainly gratifying
information to everybody except to the
opposition faultfnders, who have all
along alleged that everything in sight
was mortgaged to secure Mckinley 8

seldom fails. Hot winds may blow, and

Cuban Victory,

Among the late dispatches from Cuba,
We note the following mention of a
victory won by the Cubans on the 4th
inst; "a signal victory was won today
by the revolutionists. A body of Cuban
troops led by Gen. Jesus Robi badly
defeated the Spanish column under
Gen. Rey. The spaniards numbered
1900, over twice the number of Cubans
engaged in the fight. Rev's rout was so
complete that he has been removed
from his command by Weyler and will
be sent to Spain to answer to charge
of cowardice."

Tells the Journal That the Tariff
Framer's Theory Does not Ex-
plain the Drain Upon the
Gold Reserve.
John J. Ingalls, Asserts That the President
Has no Right to Pile up in the Treas
ury Greenbacks meant by Law for
Circulation.

only because the fact that we
have solvent Government will
aid III maintaining confidence and
the credit Of the Government, but
also because every one will recog-
nize the fact that the Government
Will be able to hold greeubacks
redeemed so long as there is a
tendency for run on the Treas
urv. II is tor this reason that
the revenue legislation now pend
ing, designed to secure sufficient
revenue to carry on the Govern
ment, is Of itself ornamental
step In maintaing the credit of
the Government and averting any
danger of a depreciation of the
currency.
sin reply to tho objection that
the holding Of greenbacks in case
OF run on the Treasury, except
for the purpose of exchange in
gold, would tend to contract the
currency, it is only necessary to
say that every dollar of green
backs redeemed and temporarily
held lets out a dollar in gold, and.
therefore, that the amount of
money outstanding is not dis
turbed. If, for example, we have
one hundred and fifty millions of
gold held in our reserve and fifty
millions of greenbacks are pre-.
sented for redemption, there goes
out at the same time fifty mil.
lions of gold. In ordinary times.
when confidence reigns supreme,
business is good and the revenue
sufficient to meet all expenditures
and leave a considerable surplus,
there Will be no run upon the
Treasury and no necessity forhold-
ing greenbacks to protect our re-
serve. Then the surplus will be
used to reduce the principal of
the interest bearing debt just as

have been crippled more than it
was.
The fact that gold Withdrawals
began before there was deficit
and ceased while the deficit was
increasing shows that there is no
necessary or intimate connection
between the revenues and the
Withdrawals. If gold is tneeded
for export it will be drawn out,
no matter whether there is cur.
rent deficit or surplus so long as
the Treasury stands ready to fur
nish gold on demand. The recent
Withdrawals of gold took place
just at time when, for the first
time in several years, the reve-
nues exceeded the expenditures.
All Rests With the Secretary.
The press dispatches did not
attribute the late Withdrawals to
deficit, nor did they attribute
them to loss of confidence. The
reason given was that new de-
mand for gold had sprung up in
Japan and Austria.
III gold is desired for boarding.
or for the purpose of forcing an
issue Of bonds, it will be with.
drawn, whether there is a suplus
or deficit, unless the Secretary
protects the Government by
exercising his option and redeem
ing in silver. When falling prices
make ordinary loans unsafe and
ordinary investments unprofita-
Bile the holders of idle capital are
apt to advocate an issue of bonds
for the purpose of securing a safe
investment, and when the desire
for bonds becomes strong enough
they can draw gold from the
Treasury by presenting green
backs and Treasury notes and

Power of Financiers.


That such plan has been con-
templated by New York finan.
ciers cannot be doubted. Some
three or four years ago one of the
New York dailies declared that
in case Congress refused to retire
the greenbacks with an issue of
gold bonds the people who want
ed greenhacks retired should
Systematically present them for
redemption until they were all
locked up in the Treasury.
That the New York finauciers
have used their power to discredit
Government paper is evident
from the fact that when an at.
tempt was being made to repeal
the Sherman law they presented
Treasury notes for redemption.
When they desired to force re.
tlrement OF greenbacks they pre-
sented them for retention. SO long
as the Secretary Of Treasury sur
renders to the holders of Govern.
ment paper the right to choose
the coin ii which payment is 20
be made, so long Will it be posi-
Bile for the linancIer2 to present
either Treasury notes or green
backs and draw out the gold.
MIR. Dingiey in Error.
Mr.. Dingley is IN error in SUP.
posing that the redemption of
fifty millions of greenbacks or
Treasury notes would make such
scarcity of small notes as to
prevent further Withdrawals of
gold. We have sometimes had
during the last four years con.
siderably more than fifty millions
OF these notes locked up, and yet
gold has been withdrawn.
There has been a well-founded
suspicion that much of the gold
drawn out by the presentation of
greenbacks and Treasury notes
was drawn out for the purpose of
forcing a retirement of all Gov
ernment paper. If the financiers
conclude to bring their influence
to bear upon the present Admin
istration as they did upon the
last they will have no difficulty in
forcing an issue of bonds, unless
the new Secretary of the Treasury
shows more power of resistance
than the last one.
If the national banks succeed

Deficit u Benefit Them.

Instead of being an injury, the
deficit was during that period a
benefit, because the money which
accumulated from the sale of
bonds could not have returned
into the channels Of commence
but for the deficit. If, as Is pro-
bable, the gold would have been

WARM TINES IN WARREN.-A dis
patch from Front Royal, Va, say that
on Saturday the democrats held prima-
rits in the four districts of the county
to nominate delegates to the conven-
tion which meets in Berryville, Clarke
county, next Saturday, to nomira e q
candidate for the House of Delegates
from Clarke and Warren. There were
TWO candidates in the field in Warren,
A. G. Carson and N. S. Waller, both
silver men, and while the weather was
warm, it was nothing to the hot contests
that took place.
All of the districts sent two sets Of
delegates, and the primaries at Front
Royal and Riverton broke up in a row.
at night the partisans of the two can
didates met in fistlc encounter on the
streets of Front Royal, and q Donny
brook Fair isn't in it with what oc-
Cured.
When the uight's shadows rolled
away there we're several black eyes
and a broken nose. it is said, and vari
Gus and other evidences Of the affrny.
The sequel will appear in the police
courts later.
The question as to who got the dele
gates is still unsettled. Indeed, it is
impossible to determine, as both sides
claim they had a majority in the re-
spective districts and accuse each other
OF unfair treatment.
