THE BOND BUSINESS.
Who Started it aud Who Is Respon
Sible for IL

From the rNrScrsburs Sentinel.
Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio.
who was Secretary of the Treasury
under Harrison, delivered Mark
Hanna speech the other day. i'm
which he took occasion to deny in
most emphatic manner that he
had ever ordered bonds printed to
be sold while he was secretary for
che purpose of replenishing the ex
hausted gold reserve of the treas
ury. His denial OF what was well
understood to be the truth has
caused u little investigation CT the
records, and Secretary Fosters
Official letter ordering tho bonds
printed has been unoarthed.
When Cleveland was inaugura.
ted the treasury was found to be
almost empty of gold, and the
question that confronted the ad
mInistration wac how it could be
replenished. MIR. Cleveland, who
was a friend of Wall street and the
money element, aud was also very
dcsirous of turning an honest pen
ny TO himself, found it necessary.
Tor the purposes he had in view, to
carry out the scheme that Harrison
and Foster had set on foot. The
letter of Secretary Fosters order.
ing the bonds printed was dated
February 20, 1898, twelve days be-
fore the expiration OF Harrison's
term as President. So that, in
fact, the bonds which were issued
under Cleveland were only heritage
from the Harrison administration
The letter was as follows:
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT,
"Otiice OF the Secretary,
"WASHGNGToN, -. c.,
February 20, 1893. {
"Sir: You arc hereby author
i2cd and directed to prepare dc
signs for three per cent. bonds.
provided IN u senate amendment to
the Sundry Civil bill now pending
Fhc denominations which should
first receive attention are 1905 and
1000 s Of the cupon bonds, and
100 5, l000's and 10 0OO's OF the
registered bonds. This authority
Is gwen IN advance Of the enact.
mcnt, IN view OF the pressing con
tlngencIes, and you are directed to
hasten the preparation Of the de-
signs and plates i'm every possible
manner. ! inclOse \ memorandum
for your guidance in preparing the
script for the body OF the bond.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES FOSTER,
Secretary.
The chief of the Bureau OF En-.
craving and Printing"
1t will be observed that Mr.. Eos
ter anticipated the enactment Of
law authorizing bond issue by
special provision, but as a matter
OF TACT, that clause in the law was
Knocked out, and Foster and Har-
rlson dropped the subject, leaving
Cleveland, who was coming into
Office in less than two weeks to
tackle the subject himself.
What be did do is history and
very discrcditable history at that.
But that fact in no wise relieves
Mr.. Foster and the Harrison ad-
ministration from the charge made
against them and specifically pro.
ven. The Mckinley bill busted
the treasury, and it took several
hundred millions Of bonds to refill
1t, and that is all there is of the
story.

Ii aSan absolute waste OF breath
for Secretary Sherman to deny the
truth of the story cabled from Eu.
rope, that this government had
sent an ultimatum to SPAN saying
that the war in Cuba must be ended
before the last of October, or this
government would take steps to
secure the independence Of Cuba.
1t was very we'll known to every
person who had watched the antics
of this administration upon Cuban
matters that no such prompt aud
business-like policy had been put
INTO effect, although the admins

sprung upon the public day or
two before the Ohio election and
allow it TO 60 undenicd until after
the votes are counted.
TIT
Speaking of the Ohio campaign,
1t looks now as though Boss llama
had succeeded with his little scheme
to put muzzle on John Sherman
until after the election in that
State. All along MIR. Sherman has
stated it to be- his intention to make
some speeches IN Ohio, and ho re-
iterated that intention, even after
MIR. Mckinley had hinted TO him
that he huo doubts of the propriety
of the Secretary Of State making
stump speeches, but the old man
has been sileuced some way, and
this week he saIl hat he had about
decided that the State of his health
would not permit him to- take any
part in the Ono ctmpaign. Some
day the whole story OF the manner
IN which Jonn SHERMAN h.e b..n

Mckinley will get ont, AMI you

prospects now are that It will be long
time before the factory whistle is again
heard.
The employees have been paid fourth
cash and three'iourthsin produce and
cloth, or factory scrip calling for the
same. The hands petitioned the board,
which met yesterday in Salt Lake, for
one-h half cash and the rest in produce
and cloth, but the board decided ON
granting only third cash, and the
refusal TO grant the,employees, petition is
what precipitated the strike.
