The present state OF national finances
has put out OF mind the real or assumed
anxiety about currency and the main
tenance OF gold payments The republl-
can party has been subjected to a test FAR
more severe than anybody expected and
has borne it triumphantly. 1t was claimed
by republicans in congress that sound
revenue law would so insure national
prosperity as to remove anxiety about the
currency. But it was not then suspected
that possibilities OF foreign war might
come to affect the public credit. and any
such disturbance OF credit would obviously
Increase immeasurably any distrust in re-
gard TO the maintenance OF the gold
standard by redemption Of notes. Before
the new revenue law has reached its full
efficiency the foreign disturbance has
come. and has produced at least as much
effect on quotations OF bonds and the
public credit as anybody could have an
ticipated. and yet has not in the slightest
degree disturbed confidence in the ability
of the government to maintain the sound
ness Of its currency.
