Iugrled Treasury Statement.

AS truth of the charge that democratic fiscal
policies have placed the United States Treasury
in an embarrassing position the fact is adduced
that It has been found necessary to juggle the
figures to conceal the real condition OF affairs.
The October treasury statement shows a balance
in the treasury and in banks OF $117,6S5,947,
while the statement of August 4, 1913, showed
a balance of $1O5,79S.571. which would indl-
cate that the available funds of the government
for meeting It's obligations had increased in
little more than two years Of democratic control
to the extent OF $11.S42,376, whereas, accord
ing to an analysis made by former Senator
Bourne the available cash has, in fact. decreased
during that period. 102.276,444.
This difference is a big one, even for financ-
ing on the scale OF the federal government The
figures in both instances check perfectly, but
comparison of the items, which compose the two
statements disclose the discrepancy.
In the first place, following custom in
vogue for years, the statement of two years
ago did not include as available funds $3O.0OO,-
600 OF subsidiary silver. silver bullion, minor
coins and similar items. Again the democrats
Rave added to available funds $50, 0O0, 900 ma
tional bank redemption funds which before had
been included in the liabilities. The first item
might be legitimate as the money in question
is the property of the government, but for all
that fits inclusion makes the comparison between
the two statements unfair. Just what warrant,
however there is for adding TO Available sur
plus" trust fund such as the bank note re-
demption fund, is difficult 10 discern, and II is
suggested that should any national bank juggle
its bookkeeping in that manner the bank Of
fieals would find themselves in serious trouble.
rhe unacceptable deduction from the actual facts
is that democratic management OF the nation s
finances has been failure

Restine on the Seventh pay.

Our dispatches tell of Rev. Billy Sundays
expedition from Syracuse to Toronto and his
enthusiastic reception there on Monday. which
recalls the fact that when he was engaged in his
Omaha campaign he put in his Mondays in a
similar fashion, making runs to Lincoln. st.
Joseph and Council Bluffs. When he contracts
for a revival billy" STIMULATES particularly that
ne shall work only six days a week, leaving him
the seventh day for rest. although he is to take
his rest day on Monday instead of Sunday. Yet.
the only difference between the rest day and the
other days is that he devotes the time to some
neighboring town as side line. If the seventh
day for rest is the right rule, why doesn't Billy
