While the gold reserve however, is itact and free gold is climbing up, the treasury net balance is declining the stated amount to day being $17, 351,000. Of this balance about $12,- 000,000 is in national bank deposito- ries and the balance is subsidiary silver. The receipts, too, for the past few days have been disappoint ing, the business troubles through | him out the country having an effect upon government revenues. These troubles are receiving the closest possible attention by treasury of | ficials and everything that can be done is being done to relieve the sit- uation. Secretary Carlisle, though absent from the city, 1s in communi- cation with the treasury department by wire, and to-day after a confer ence in New York with eminent financiers, directed acting secretary Curtis to send the following tele- gram to the 150 national bank de- positors throughout the United States: “Your authorized balance hereby fixed at par of security. Transfer | excess when practicable to nearest sub ti This action of the treasury de partment will release to the banks about $900,000 and is intended as far as practicable to relieve the finan- cial stringency country. According to former regulations | each depository bank was permitted to hold gevernment funds to the ex | tent of from 90 to 95 per cent of the United States bonds deposited to secure the same. This action of the} treasury permits them to hold gov- ernment bouds on deposit and it i believed will effect in a slight de- gree, at least, the improvement in the financial situation. The circulation statement issued by the treasury department to day shows that the amount of gold and silver coin, certificates, United States notes and national bank notes | in circulation Auguse 1 was $1,611,- 099,117, and increase during the month of July of $17,236,606. The increase during the last surer.” prevailing in the} twelve | overdrew try. It will be found when congress assembles that the repeal of* the Sherman act cannot be made a stalk- ing-horse for monometallism.” Possibly our populist friends will be able to see from this that our distinguished senator is not so much of a gold-bug as they have represent- ed him to be. And we suppose the Kansas City Times will now class with those it calls “double- standard lunatics.” But he stands | squarely on the Chicago platform, which the has abandoned.

A Kentucky man who held an; important place in the treasury de partment, was asked for his resigna tion the other day by Logan Carlisle. | The man was a member of the Grand Army and had been reeommended for the place by Senator Logan, and and he did not take his dismissal | very kindly. but went to Secretary | his papers. “I have been employed | in this department for a number of j years and do not think it fair that I/ should be summarily discharged,” he said. The Secretary sent for his papers and examined them before him Coming across the letter from | Senator Logan he said: “Ab, I see you are recommended by Gen Logan who says that you should have the place, as you are a fighting republi can. Now my fnend, I just want to say to you that the man who is to have your place is a fighting demo crat and that I am the mam who recommended him.—Brooklyn Ea gle. Where Romeo Counts the Stripes.

Each white band repre- resents silver and denotes 100 francs per annum, while each yellow band denotes gold and betokens 1,000 a year. Thus a young man who sees aface that pleases him has but to glance at at the trimmings of the petticoat, and without any bashful or suspicious inquiry, he can learn what amount accompanies the wearer.
