Of an ex-candidate. Mr.. Bryan is now

his own how or where he gets money to

backs can be had from Congress, and it
is doubtful whether legislation favorable
to bauk currency can be secured. The
silver people have declared that no such
legislation shall go through the Senate,
and as that body is now constituted, and,
indeed, as long as the present rules are
in force, they will have the power to en-.
force this inhibition. In the absence of
affirmative legislation, the only means of
holding the reinsurance Of greenbacBs in
restraint is by having sufficient revenue
to enable the treasury TO hold back as a
surplus all greenbacks redeemed or re-
ceived in payment Of revenue"
This has been the policy Of John Sher-
man. He has all along opposed the can
collation. Of the greenbRck. He favors
keeping them in the treasury and in
banks as reserve. That effectually keeps
them out Of circulation and yet does not
destroy them. 1t has the same effect so
far as the volume Of circulating money
is concerned, as to cancel and burn them,
but the people are hoodwinked by the
miserable subterfuge.
To show that the cry Of needed reve-
nue. is a delusion and fraud, it is only
necessary to submit statement Of treas
ury balances, from which it will be seen
that at no time since February, 1894, has
there been less than $lO0,O00,0O0 Of
available cash in the treasury, and the
balance has not been less than S200,000,-
600 since January, 1896. April last it
was 1928 ,090,5l7 1t is at this hour at
least $24O,OOO,OOO. The Dingley tariff
bill is not needed for revenue, but it will
serve to corral the greenbRcks.
This policy makes it easy to get the
circulation into the power Of the banks
again With the greenbacks in process
of absorption in vaults, the treasury
notes will be redeemed in silver dollars
and Cancelled; the dollars will be depos-
tied in the treasury and silver certificates
will take their place. In this way soon
our paper circulation will consist of bank
notes and silver certificates, neither of
which is legal tender.
That crowns the Golden King, and
levies customs tribute on the people to
support speculators' syndicate at the
rate Of thousand million a year through
prices on account of the tariff.

COST OF MAINTAINING THE GOLD STAND


COST OF MAINTAINING THE GOLD STAND
ARD.
The Wall Street piracy goes on 30
quietly and in such hidden channels that
the people do not see it's movements and
hence do not comprehend the magnitude
Of its operations or the enormity Of its
spoliations.
The sale Of bonds by the last Admins
trstion, ostensibly to preserve the public
credit, was in fact done to accommodate
the Wall Street bankers and their asso-
Ciates in London. That infsmy cost the
people $262, 315,4O0, two-thirds of which
amount runs thirty years at per cent.
interest
There was absolutely no necessity for
borrowing money when these bonds were
sold. There was nearly $50000O00 in
gold in the treasury when the reserve
was lowest, and the treasury cash bal
anCe at the months end had never been
less than S1OO,OOO,OOO from January,
1879, to October, 1893. November 30,
1893, the balance was 95,199617; the
next month it was $90,375,555, and Jan
usry 81, 1894 (the month Of the first bond
sale, it had fallen to $84, 4,375,555. The
Treasury Report, now lying on the table
where this is being written, and directly
under the eyes of the writer, shows the
following amounts Of met gold in treas
ury" for the months just named:

At the same time, there was uncovered
silver bullion in the treasury amounting
to $l27 ,262, ,267 the first Of these three
months, $l27 ,2O7,874 the second, and
$l27,2l5,l7l the third, together with
about $2O,00O,00O in free silver coin.
President Cleveland, in his annual
message to Congress, December, 1895,
reciting the history Of the bond sales,
stated that there had been "comforta-
BILE surplus" in the treasury, but it was
not gold "and therefore does not meet
the difficulty" The difficulty was the
demand for gold coming from the New
York spectators.
If that were the end of these maraud-
ers' work, the next Thanksgiving day
would have added interest. The Repub-
lican Administration is quite as much
under the domination of the money
power as its Democratic predecessor was,
and the new tariff bill is intended to
bring into the treasury money enough
and to bring it fast enough to allow the
Treasurer to get and keep every green
back that is not needed for bank re-
serves, and in that way withdraw them
from circulation without canceling them.
From Washington dispatch we learn
that
"phe purpose Of the Administration is
to procure the retirement of the green
