The republican platform adopted

the means used to mislead the pub.
lie, and, by virtuous assumptions
open the way to the most pernic.
ious results. 1t says:
We are gratiHed that Republican dinlo.
macy has secured the abrogation of the
clayton Bulwer treaty, thus enabling the
government to proceed with the con.
struction of ship canal between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans under the au.
thority Of the United States and protec.
ton of our flag.
The treaty alluded to was conclud-
ed between Great Britain and the
United States in 1850. Secretar v
John M. Clayton and Sir Henry Bul
wer were the negotiators. 1t related
to establishing communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by means of ship canal across the
state OF Nicaragua, and as republican
majority in congress has decided to
adopt the route across the state of
Panama and pay forty millions for
questionable title, it will be readily
seen that reference to the CLAYTON
Bulwer treaty as brilliant dipo-
matte move is all bosh and buncombe
so Tar as any national benefit goes.
Inc Nicaragua route stood no show
on its merits, compared to the pos
sibillties of rake off from forty
million dollar appropriation. And,
besides, the Panama route is believ-

Washington. Sept. S.-The sum o.

ceeds that,of any previous time in the
history OF the country, and with one
possible exception it exceeds that of any
country at any time in the history of the
world. The single exception is that oil
Russia about eight years ago, when that
country was preparing to resume gold
payments. AT that time Russia is said
TO have had in its treasury $59S 600, 00J
in gold
Last Saturday the vaults of the United
States treasury contained 1913. 936 1914,
an increase since July /, 1901, $40, 0S7
S97. This stock of gold is now being
added to at the rate of about 5000, 600
to $500, 900 day, with no immediate
prospect of cessation in the rate of
deposits.
This condition of things is eminenty
satisfactory in the treasury officials, who
regard it as the best possible evidence of
property and of confidence in the finan-
cial stability of this country The gold
now coming in is being replaced by gold
certificates, United States bonds and sill
yer certificates, the former being sup
piled where the denominations wanted
are $40 and over, the United States notes
for tens and silver certificates for fives,
twos, and ones.
1t is somewhat of puzzle how sill
yer certificates can be issued to re-
place the gold being piled up IN the
treasury in order that the financial
barons can have a supply within
reach to protect their own interests
the bankers panic of 1913 having got
beyond their control and crippled
those who launch ed it in a way they
do not propose to have occur again.
The only Office of the silver certificate
was for issue to the deposition of sill
yer bullion for coinage, and, since the
minis were closed to silver, for the
purchase of such bullion as the govern
ment needed for subsidiary coin.
Since the bankers secured control of
of the governments financial policy,
the weak and vacillating
character of the national mind. the

an obsotele piece of paper whose
chief province is to fool a simple
people with the idea that silver is
still redemption money. 1t is
simply an order for another form of
token money, both of which are re-
deemable in gold, or the money trust
would not allow Uncle Sam to use
medium of exchange so "calculat-
ed to destroy confidence.

the following schedule of demands

periously agreed to by Lord sKitch-

of the British government, and that
the brave stand made by the Boer
patriots had brought that power to
the very limit of endurance; only the
one thing, absolute independence, is
lacking, in all other respects the
terms are such as victors demand
from the conquered, and the one
thing is yeta possibility, and from
every American heart OF. this yet
free soil rises the prayer that this
may come. The following are the
peace terms the Beers claim were
